When the Lakers attacked, "little fish" Fisher played his role and stopped passing the ball to Kobe.

This is a special arrangement by coach Phil Jackson. When Kobe is messing around on the court, someone must restrain him. Sometimes he can lead his opponents to an easy victory.

Fisher passed to Rick Fox, who lobbed the ball to O'Neal in the low post and then ran to the right corner.

At this time, if Kobe wants to catch the ball, he has to double-team to steal O'Neal, or wait for O'Neal to attract the double-team and then pass the ball out, combining inside and outside.

Fisher wanted to win, and since the coach arranged for him, he didn't want to see Kobe act randomly. At this time, he was not a pure "dribble guard" and was not just responsible for dribbling the ball through half the court.

The management believed that Fisher was more suitable for the Lakers than Mark Jackson, so they sent the veteran Jackson away in the mid-term.

O'Neal has a huge advantage in isolation, and Jackson hopes that he can beat Brad Miller as soon as possible. As long as Miller is fouled twice in the opening game, the Lakers will be able to play better. If Miller does not foul, O'Neal will have an easy time.

Scoring opportunities.

Zen Master believes that with the current lineup of the Sonics on the court, only Kobe Bryant can guard O'Neal...

Once the Lakers' triangle offense was launched, it was really difficult for the Sonics to defend. Even if the players wanted to help Miller double-team, it would be of little use. Their height and weight are too different.

O'Pang was so strong that he pushed Miller into the penalty area, turned around and played the ball with one hand and scored .14 to 8.

Miller's mentality is stable. When the coach asked him to defend alone at the beginning, he knew what he was going to face. Wasn't he just getting beaten? What a big deal. This is not a shame. Is there any insider in the league who has not been beaten by O'Neal?

Exploded?

When the SuperSonics attacked, Yang Jian once again played a pick-and-roll, attracting a double attack and then passed the ball to the center. After Miller received the ball, Rick Fox took turns to cover the defense. Miller took advantage of the situation and passed the ball to Bruce Bowen on the left, who received the ball.

The ball missed the basket.

The opportunity has come, but Bowen is destined to miss out on "all-round skills" in his life. He is the target of being left out whenever he comes out. His shooting percentage in the regular season was only 40.5%, and his three-point shooting percentage was 38.4%, and they were still open shots.

George Karl played Bowen to strengthen defense. He is the team's best defensive small forward on the wing. If the Lakers let Fox guard Yang Jian, Bowen can guard Kobe when facing the Lakers' counterattack.

O'Neal grabbed the rebound in the backcourt, and the Lakers fell into a positional battle. The Lakers are not good at launching quick counterattacks, and the two inside men are more suitable for positional battles. Horace Grant was able to make fast breaks when he was young, but now at the age of 35, he can only rely on jump shots and air strikes.

It's all mixed up.

Fisher didn't pass to Kobe for the second time in a row. O'Neal received the pass and singled out in the low post on the left, then turned and threw to the baseline. This time Miller successfully interfered with the shot and the ball bounced out of the frame.

Grant scrambled with Lewis and Miller under the basket, and finally fell to the ground and failed to get the ball, knocking the ball out of the baseline.

During the SuperSonics offense, Yang Jian ran from the right baseline to the left to receive Payton's pass. He did not get a direct chance to make a shot. After assuming a three-threat posture facing the frame, he held the ball and changed direction to the right.

Miller and Yang Jian had a tacit understanding and ran to the 45-degree screen to block Kobe.

Yang Jian took a step laterally and faced Miller's long-range mid-range shot without interference. The ball hit the net! 16 to 8.

Zhang Liji said: "Yang Jian is going to go crazy today. He has already scored 11 points and has an assist."

Sun Zhengping said: "His mid-range shot is so accurate, even in his rookie season, and since then he has been one of the most accurate players in the league."

O'Neal failed to guard him again and got stuck near the penalty area to grab a rebound. This made Kobe very unhappy. How could this kind of ball not be guarded against the pick-and-roll?

When the Lakers attacked, Fisher dribbled the ball to the frontcourt and passed it to Kobe. Yang Jian immediately stepped forward to get close to him. Kobe feinted and dribbled the ball to the right, hitting the ground and passing the ball to O'Neal in the low post.

O'Neal entered the penalty area from a deep position, without fear of double-teaming by Miller and Lewis, turned to the baseline and relied on Miller to score. 16 to 10.

Zhang Lili said: "O'Neal is too strong. He scored all the team's points in the opening game. But this is not enough. The Lakers must defend the Sonics' offense if they want to win."

Sun Zhengping said: "This game is really exciting. It's great to see the cores of the two teams keep scoring so fast. Let's see if Yang Jian can continue to score. He hasn't missed a shot yet."

Yang Jian took the ball outside the three-point line on the right side and faced Kobe Bryant, and broke through with the ball without relying on a screen. After he brought the ball into the three-point line, he saw that Fox had the idea of ​​​​stepping forward to double-team, and immediately dragged the ball back.

He dribbled the ball continuously on the right side to test, and Fox's attention was attracted to him while standing in the middle.

Suddenly, Yang Jian took the ball and changed direction in the middle, dribbling towards Fox to find a double team. He jumped up and moved the ball laterally to the left corner. When Fox wanted to double-team Yang Jian, Bowen ran away without the ball.

Bowen usually works hard on shooting from the two corners, and he is relatively confident in this position. He caught the ball and made a jump shot. 19 to 10.

Jackson Jackson gently shook his head on the sidelines, but still did not call a timeout. Yang Jian not only has a strong personal scoring ability, but also has a broad field of vision. He can see his teammates running into open spaces.

Jackson has never been able to think of a way to limit Yang Jian. He believes that Yang Jian is the only player with stronger personal ability than Jordan and always has a way to create scoring opportunities.

When the Lakers attacked, Grant suddenly received a pass in the middle and hit Lewis alone. Miller withdrew to the basket in time to help Lewis interfere with the shot, but the ball missed.

Regardless of Miller's average athletic ability, he also won the media's "Defensive Startup Award" when he first entered the league and is regarded by many experts as an outstanding blue-collar player.

Lewis dialed the ball out, and Yang Jian picked up the basketball at the free throw line and rushed to the three-point line at full speed. He faced Kobe in the middle and used a European step. He didn't slow down at all when he changed direction. Kobe collided with him when he moved sideways, and the referee's whistle

A blocking foul was called.

The referee called a foul because the Sonics got a foul ball before Yang Jian made a shooting move.

Lewis sent the ball, Payton took the ball from the outside, and Fisher let him go two steps away. Payton directly made a three-pointer, the ball bounced out of the frame, and O'Neal grabbed the rebound.

Payton's choice is not wrong, but his ability cannot be compared with Yang Jian, and his shooting percentage is very unstable. This season, his three-point shooting percentage is 37.5%, averaging 1.3 goals per game. For Yang Jian, this shooting percentage is not qualified.

, but Payton is a career high.

The Lakers attacked and Kobe began to look for breakthrough opportunities.

O'Neal reached the low post on the right side and Kobe didn't pass the ball. He played a pick-and-roll with Grant and took him from the right to the left. He looked like he didn't think about how to play. Yang Jian followed from the side and suddenly reached out and stabbed the basketball away. Kobe kicked the ball towards

In front, he made a diving leap to save the bottom line.

He probably wanted to make the referee think he was tripped or hit by throwing himself into the street and call a defensive foul, but the referee ignored it.

Payton picked up the ball in the left corner of the penalty area and passed it with both hands. Yang Jian rushed into the Lakers' penalty area and received the pass in less than three seconds.

The only one who returned to defense was point guard Fisher, who was following behind Yang Jian not knowing what to do. Yang Jian completely ignored Fisher, jumped up and dunked with both hands, hung the frame and swung his leg before landing steadily. 21 vs.

10.

Jackson Jackson finally requested a timeout. He expected that he couldn't guard Yang Jian, but the reason why the offense was not going smoothly was because of Kobe's random beating.

It's okay if Kobe can score, but he didn't score a single point and made two mistakes, and was directly counterattacked by his opponent. Yang Jian already dunked three times in the opening game, which greatly boosted the morale of the Sonics.

When Yang Jian came off the field, he high-fived his teammates one by one to celebrate, and the home fans applauded for a long time.

The commentators on ABC Radio and ESNP Radio commented on the performance of the two, and both believed that Yang Jian was much stronger than Kobe.

"Yang Jian is not only top-notch in physical fitness, but also has outstanding skills, and even his golf intelligence surpasses Kobe. He can always make the most reasonable choice based on the situation on the court and rarely makes mistakes."

"Yang is too perfect. The gap in this position is destined to make it difficult for the Lakers to break out in the Western Conference. It's useless for O'Neal to dominate the penalty area. He is not as comprehensive as Yang. Yang is better at driving his teammates. The SuperSonics were so impressive in the first quarter.
