Since the new century, the Lakers have never been so passive!

Even if it was eliminated by the Spurs last season, it is not so passive, completely because Duncan played in the playoffs last season, comparable to the performance of the peak Jordan and O'Neal, the Lakers lost to the Spurs.

At the beginning of the game, the Lakers were detained by Raheem, and then Liu Mang, who was expected to have some possible situations, led his teammates to target. Kobe's continuous singles attack was blocked, which made the Lakers' team's attack paralyzed.

For the Lakers, the start was also thankful, because they tightened their defense in the last game, and they had the enthusiasm and defensive teamwork they played in the last game, except that Rahim took the start. Suddenly came down, and for a while, and the Hawks once again began a journey to strike iron.

On the Hawks side, this defensive battle was even more fierce than the last game. In the first half, Kobe Bryant, who had teammates actively picking up and helping the team, defended even more fiercely.

Due to the high-intensity confrontation driven by the previous match, the confrontation in this match became more fierce.

It's just that Kobe Bryant was iron, but he still had a few assists, and O'Neal's direct pass allowed O'Neill to score, all three times, but this game, after Payton dribble the ball, passed to Kobe, Kobe are singles, that is to say, except for Payton when O'Neal has the physical strength to attack, O'Neal can pass the ball, O'Neal can score in singles, other times, O'Neal can hardly receive the ball! The situation is the same for Malone, and Malone's hit efficiency is average. The mid-range frame is more accurate. Payton had to pass the ball to Kobe to try to make Kobe rely on his containment force to organize the attack.

However, in the first half of Kobe's game, in addition to giving Wang Zhizhi an open three-pointer and Wang Zhizhi scoring a goal, Kobe had no other assists! There were only 6 passes in the whole half, and three of them were still unnecessary passes!

The loss is that most of the first half, whether it is O’Neal or Malone, has a good impression of Kobe ’s first three games. He took the initiative to give Kobe a pick-and-roll, help Kobe block people, and give Kobe a better shot opportunity. The Lakers only scored 41 points in the first half, of which Kobe made 8 shots in the first half and scored 8 points. He scored 22 points with a near field goal rate. O'Neal received 8 points from Paton ’s singles. Points, 2 of 6 free throws scored two points, half scored 10 points, Wang Zhizhi scored 3 points, and others added up to 6 points.

On the Hawks side, the first half is still the main defense, and it is very firm, that is to allow the Lakers to continue to maintain high-intensity physical consumption.

The Hawks only scored 44 points in the half. It seems that there is not much difference between the two teams.

But, after the first half, until the Lakers last attack before the first half, Kobe Bryant counterattack succeeded in the Hawks, stunned that he did not pass the ball to O'Neal who stayed in the front court and did not have time to return to defense, but himself Shipped to the center line with two seconds left and threw a non-stick.

From this moment, O'Neill noticed something was wrong.

The iron man started to grab the boss position again!

It's just that because Kobe Bryant's first three games, even the first two games lost, were not irritated by Liu Mang, Kobe did not grab the boss position at this time, making the Lakers feel that Kobe is no problem now.

Kobe played like that at the beginning, because Kobe played like that, and they did n’t get too suspicious. The game was originally a matter of electro-optical flint. Kobe is a famous two air defenses as vacancies, and three air defenses consider passing pigs, O’Neill. He and Malone also actively grabbed offensive rebounds from the beginning. O'Neal also got 6 free throws. Although Malone only scored two points in the first half, the offensive end rushed to rebound and attracted the opponent to block O'Neal. The opportunity to attack offensive rebounds is just not sure.

But now, innocent like O'Neill, also see it!

...

After returning in the second half, Liu Mang found that the defense on the Lakers' side was like a collapse. The enthusiasm in the first half seemed to have never appeared, and it also clearly felt that most of the players on the Lakers, especially The three veterans of Malone, Payton and O'Neill have slowed down!

The opportunity is coming!

Sometimes this kind of planning is really not conceived from the beginning, and sometimes an opportunity that affects the entire finals appears at once.

In the first three quarters of the last game, Liu Mang was 11 points behind. In the fourth quarter, he just tried to chase the points. As a result, he was immediately beaten by a score of 6 to 0. The difference of 17 points made the game basically suspense When Liu Mang played two minutes in the fourth quarter, he just wanted to struggle, because O'Neal played a 3-for-4 shot in the beginning of the fourth quarter, and most of the Hawks were even struggling.

But when Liu Mang was struggling, he suddenly found that there was a feeling that the Lakers could not wait to finish the game immediately. Obviously, the Lakers were supporting, just because the Eagles could not break the Lakers. With the team's strong defense, Liu Mang can't do it alone if his teammates can't vote.

So Liu Mang's first reaction at the time was to use the Lakers' defense to dig the pits for the Lakers to keep them on the court and consume their physical fitness.

However, during the rest day in the middle of the day, the Zen Master directly took the team off, and even the meeting was not open. There will be too much contact between the players, especially Kobe and his teammates, so as to avoid training the mad Kobe to make the Lakers too old. The lost teammates are brought to the training quagmire.

The Zen master will make good use of the star's physical fitness, otherwise he will not indulge O'Neal so much in the regular season. O'Neal's weight is so large. If the regular season is played like the playoffs, it may have been abandoned.

Therefore, the Lakers' physical fitness is still restored. If they continue to maintain the teamwork and enthusiasm of the previous game, the recovered physical fitness is not impossible to support the full field.

However, when they did not have the enthusiasm of last season, or lost that kind of enthusiasm for some reason, such physical fitness is not enough.

Sometimes consciousness will stimulate the physical limit. If the Lakers continue to hold that tone, just like the first half, they can still rely on that tone to stimulate their physical limit in the second half, and the Eagles will still be difficult to play.

However, when others found out that Kobe had only taken care of himself for his own sake and did not consider his teammates, the motivation of his teammates also came down.

During the halftime, when I had time to think about the first half, my teammates quickly understood what Kobe was thinking about, and then he breathed away.

Of course, the Lakers still have to defend the defense, but the tone is gone. Although they have a defensive attitude, they can't keep up.

At the beginning of the third quarter, Liu Mang threw three three-pointers through Rashid Wallace, and Malone's defense failed to make up actively. Liu Mang made two 3-pointers and three shots!

The Zen Master called for a timeout. Although Kobe Iron was in the first half, the Lakers did a good job of defense. Not only the fans on the spot, the Zen Master did not see any problems, and there were no players to play small reports, plus the Lakers in the first half. The rest of the team is giving Kobe a pick-and-roll. Zen Master is a coach who is willing to give the player control of the situation on the field. He thinks that this is the player's own negotiation, so he thinks that everything is under control. When O'Neill starts to show power, OK connection, everything is not a problem.

But in the third quarter Kobe continued to throw up, but he did not have a teammate to help him pick and roll. Kobe was caught by Liu Mang and Prince's three-shot defense. Liu Mang scored two three-pointers and the Lakers scored 41. Nine points behind 50, and seeing the mark of being pulled to a 10-point difference, the Zen Master couldn't calm down this time, and the game was lost to the Hawks!

0 to 2, and 1 to 3 are completely two concepts!

In the case of 1-3 backwards, there has never been a reversal in the finals. Even if it is relaxed to the entire playoffs, the NBA has nearly 60 years of history. So far, there have only been 6 reversals of 1-3. In all the 7-game 4-win series of the NBA so far, the chance of completing a 1 to 3 reversal is less than 3%!

There is a big problem with the Lakers, that is, among the superstars, mainly between Kobe and O’Neal, it ’s been a long time since I let go of the mustard and talked to the sky. Maintain a situation where the two are still cooperative.

But now, the Zen Master wants to communicate with Kobe, and Kobe walks away.

The perennial victory brings many benefits, like the last time the Lakers still maintained a must-win mentality in a 0-2 situation.

But for those who are paranoid about honor and control of the team, consecutive victories are the incentive for him to be too confident to control.

The victory of the last game made Kobe feel like the Hawks. As long as they guard well, the Hawks are not his opponent.

It's just that he forgot a question. Why should teammates serve him? Except for the previous three games, he has never played like a real boss.

...

After a timeout, the Eagles, Liu Mang took the initiative to play without a ball. The combination of Stockton and Rashid Wallace played. Rashid Wallace's pick-and-roll is also good, although there is no Buser. Mullah and Malone are so natural as pick-and-rollers, but it's not bad. Prince and Ratliff came to play, mainly to continue to maintain high-intensity defense.

On the Lakers side, Payton, Fisher, Kobe, Malone, O'Neal continued to play.

Liu Mang began to use his offensive threats and started running with his opponent. In the first half, he only scored 9 points, plus the previous two three-pointers also only scored 15 points, but he did not greedy, but Use your offensive threats to help your teammates create opportunities.

On the Lakers side, the defensive end has slowed down completely. In addition to chasing Liu Mang, he ca n’t take care of anything else. Stockton and Rashid Wallace, through Liu Mang, upset the Lakers defense gap, every In the second pick-and-roll, the opponent's footsteps could not keep up with the change of defense. Rashid Wallace rushed in after the pick-and-roll and attracted O'Neal. Stockton passed to Ratliff. The first timeout in the third quarter came back. The Eagles 'S main scorer turned into Ratliff!

The Lakers still did not cooperate. Payton gave the ball to Kobe. Kobe still came by himself. Under the impact of Liu Mang and Prince, his offensive efficiency fell sharply compared to the first half. 2 of 6 shots in the third quarter In, only got 5 points.

O'Neal chiseled two or three times. No one cooperated with him. Payton and Fisher didn't have enough offensive threats. Kobe didn't pass him the ball. O'Neal's offensive end was basically abolished.

In the third quarter, the Lakers have been playing iron for a long time, not just Kobe. If Kobe was playing alone, he would play iron for more than a dozen games a day. Second, if his teammates didn't give him a pick-and-roll in the first half and help him contain the defense, he would be able to shoot six or seven times in a game.

Mainly because of the lack of Kobe's organizational offense, the Lakers' team's offense can't be opened. O'Neill guarantees the lower limit of the team's strength ~ www.readwn.com ~ and Kobe is the one who raises the upper limit.

In the third quarter, in addition to Kobe's 5 points, O'Neill scored 6 points, the others only added 4 points, the Lakers team only scored 16 points in a single quarter.

On the Hawks side, Stockton perfectly used Liu Mang's threat and actively burned the last bit of oil in his tank. In the first half of the time, the Lakers' physical strength fell because of that breath, but the defensive attitude was still During the time period, the Hawks organized the offensive tightly. First, Ratliff dunked to get 4 points, then O’Neal refused to make a layup, and Rashid Wallace began to catch the ball against O’Neal. On the top, even if you can't make a deduction, you have to be strong, the offensive efficiency is not high, but you dare to fight and fight hard, and consume the little physical energy left by O'Neill.

In the second half of the third quarter, the Lakers couldn't control the situation and collapsed!

In addition to Liu Mang in the first half of the Hawks, the others added up and only scored 9 points. The Hawks scored 15 points in the first half, but the Hawks scored points in the second half of the game!

A 36 to 16 in a single quarter!

After three games, the Hawks led the Lakers by 80 points to 57 points, 23 points!

Zen Master is also a ruthless man. Seeing this situation, the fourth quarter put the Big Four directly on the bench and announced the surrender at the first time.

After the Eagles made sure that the Lakers had actually surrendered in the fourth quarter, they replaced Liu Mang. Liu Mang played 39 minutes, 8 of 20 shots, 3 of 9 3-pointers and 5 of 6 free throws. 8 points, 4 assists, Stockton showed off in the third quarter, got 6 points and 9 assists in the game, today the Hawks are more flowering, Ratliff 11 points, Kwame Brown 7 points, Rahim 19 Points, Rashid Wallace 12 points, Jason Terry dared to fight in garbage time, scored 12 points in the fourth quarter and scored 20 points in the game, the Hawks returned to the Lakers slaughter 106-86 !
