Atkins dribbled the ball to the frontcourt and passed it to Kobe. Kobe held the ball with one hand and held it high, leaning against Howard to observe his teammate's running position, passing it to Butler at 70 degrees on the right.

Butler and Anderson got rid of the screen without the ball, and Danpier replaced the defense again. The former received the ball and jumped, Finley failed to catch up and entered the net hollow, 2-6.

Kobe's performance at the beginning was beyond Ke Yan's expectations. However, in the conversation with the strong team, the team really needed Kobe to dispatch his teammates' strength and form a 5-to-5 situation in the game.

The Mavericks attacked, Terry gave Nowitzki a lob and ran to the right bottom corner. Nowitzki leaned against Odom and turned to the baseline. Odom once again stuck Nowitzki's breakthrough route. Nowitzki took a step back and jumped in with his right foot. The ball made 4:6.

Atkins dribbled the ball to the frontcourt and handed it to Odom, who dribbled the ball to the wing and handed it to Kobe, who was asking for the ball at the low post. Kobe received the ball, turned around, and faced Howard, and his body suddenly twisted, like a light and thick rattlesnake. Every twist of his movement seemed to be deceiving the person blocking him.

Breakthrough? Impossible, it is impossible to be so close!

Kobe's twisting body suddenly straightened, and he suddenly straightened up, just like the rattlesnake, thrusting his half of his body in the moment before the attack.

The forward feet suddenly changed. The left foot rotated outwards with the toes as the center, but the right foot stretched out and turned to the left in a spiral.

Kobe's body began to rotate. He was almost rotating in place, but with inertia, his body posture became leaning forward, so the whole movement became extremely weird and beautiful.

When he was about to touch Howard, he suddenly turned around flexibly. Kobe walked around behind Howard, facing Nowitzki, who was resting on defense, without pause, and focused on the strength and weight of his whole body and soared into the air!

"Bang bang!" The basket tilted most of the time to the right, and a crisp moan in pain.

Nowitzki took two steps back to try to alleviate the impact of this wave of impact, but in the end the center of gravity was unstable and he sat on the ground.

Kobe used both hands and lifted his body up, bent his feet and turned a big circle under the basket. While wandering, Anderson and Danpier at the basket gave way and put him down.

The ghostly extraordinary, domineering dunks, and Kobe's wonderful performance made the players on the Lakers' bench stand up and cheer for him. Even on the Mavericks' bench, Marquez Daniels almost stood up, but fortunately was pulled by other teammates.

Being dunked is a shame in the eyes of some people, but for Nowitzki, it is a proof of his hard work in defense. He did not rush to play back on the offensive end. On the contrary, Josh Howard's next treatment seemed very irrational. He received the ball in the middle of the game and then increased his speed to the right side of Butler. The offensive intention was too obvious. Butler quickly moved his body to block Howard outside. Although Howard was leaned, he still rushed in. Suddenly, he felt that Butler's body relaxed, and he was happy. He took another step forward, but was blocked by Butler's back foot, staggered, and tried hard to lift the ball, jumped up and sent it to the basket.

"Bang!" The ball was directly blown out of the bottom line. Howard, who was lying on the ground, looked at Anderson's contemptuous eyes and slapped the floor in anger.

Josh Howard is really talented. His super long arm span allows him to "misposition" when facing many small forwards, and even once gave Johnson the idea of ​​supporting him as the boss and replacing Nowitzki, so that the two of them later became cold together.

The Mavericks scored free throws on the sideline. Through continuous pick-and-roll, Terry received the ball from the baseline and took Butler's mid-range shot, making an accurate shot!

Butler's backup defense was already in place in this goal, but once Terry's shooting feel was found, he would be an unstoppable ruthless character!

The game is in progress. Under the leadership of Nowitzki and Terry, the Mavericks still put their strong offensive on the Lakers' positions. After every loss of points, the Lakers can always make up for the score again with the corresponding cooperation of Kobe and Odom, and the wonderful goals are presented to the audience again and again.

Both sides have attacking lineups, with loopholes in defense, and the visual effect of fighting against each other is better than the Denver All-Star Game.

In the middle of the first quarter, Johnson replaced Terry and Finley, replaced Starkhouse and Devin Harris. Marquez Daniels was also on the bench of the Mavericks, and their lineup was enviable.

Ke Yan also made adjustments, Eddie House, Delfino, and Barnes replaced Atkins, Butler, Odom, and Kobe were pushed to the small forward position, and Barnes was topped with the power forward position against Nowitzki.

Compared with the blue-collar insider of the same figure, Nowitzki hates the brisk small forwards to defend. In the playoffs this year, Nowitzki was once very uncomfortable by McGrady. In the 2007 playoffs, the Warriors were upset by the Mavericks, thanks to Stephen Jackson, Harrington and Matt Barnes taking turns against Nowitzki, interfering with his shooting. Therefore, Ke Yan's attempt to use Barnes to play against Nowitzki was a somewhat advanced attempt, but it was not a dead end.

However, it is not necessarily useful to copy it. Now Barnes seems to be a little weaker against Nowitzki, and he can't defend against three-pointers and two-pointers.

Fortunately, the Lakers have fast offensive firepower, and Kobe and Delfino both performed well. Both sides still couldn't defend themselves and scored 38-41 high scores.

Kobe scored 13 points, 2 rebounds and 3 assists, leading the Lakers to lead 3 points in the first quarter.

The two sides sent substitutes to fight in the second quarter, with five Mavericks: Devin Harris, Terry, Starkhouse, Van Horn, and Bradley.

Five Lakers: Eddie House, Delfino, Butler, Brian Cook, Odom.

Ke Yan and Johnson have a relatively close habit of substitution. They both like to win the team's second scoring point in the first quarter and wait until the connection is replaced to lead the substitute lineup. Ke Yan's use of people is more targeted. In this game, he directly abandoned the team's second center Diop, and instead used the space-type inside line Cook, Odom headed to the center position. In this way, Odom pulled to the top of the arc on the offensive end and held the ball. There was an open ground in front of him. Bradley dared to let Odom pass by him like the road in the early morning. Bradley didn't come out, Odom could draw the three-pointer directly, or go to the free throw line to cooperate with his teammates, and there were many offensive choices.

The Mavericks can't control the Lakers on the defensive end, and the efficiency on the offensive end is pretty good. Harris, Terry, and Starkhouse are all outside players with the ability to play with the ball, and Johnson's tactics are also suitable for them to play, which is to take turns using pick-and-roll singles.

Johnson replaced Nelson as the head coach of the Mavericks. The change he brought to the team was to change the team's defensive consciousness and make players pay attention to defense. However, the disadvantages were also that the team's offensive cooperation was reduced and they relied more on singles.

From this perspective, the Mavericks might as well invite Ke Yan to be the head coach. Although the Lakers under Ke Yan also focus on offense and defense, when they are deadly, Ke Yan can come up with a lot of tricks and experiment with various methods. If he takes over the old Nelson team, the Mavericks' basketball philosophy can be inherited more smoothly.
