Chapter 168 Wang Chao who plays like Kobe

Wang Chao's score in the first quarter was not high, which not only did not make the Lakers feel at ease, but instead became even more anxious.

It has been the third year since he met Wang Chao. In previous season, the Lakers had to play at least 8 games with the Magic, two games in the regular season, and at least six games in the playoffs or the finals.

It can be said that except for a few teams in the West, such as the Rockets, Spurs and Suns, the Lakers know the Magic best.

As an arrowhead figure in the Magic's offense, Wang Chao is naturally the focus of the Lakers' research object. They know very well that Wang Chao's score cannot be restricted. No matter what method is used to defend him, this guy can rely on all kinds of things.

To achieve the purpose of scoring in these ways.

Therefore, the Lakers' defensive strategy for the Magic is to cut off Wang Chao and other teammates as much as possible. Wang Chao can get high scores, but other players of the Magic will never be able to perform.

Other players of the Magic Team under the one-star quad-shooting system all have extremely accurate three-point shooting percentages. Once the touch is hot, it will be too late!

Now the Magic sent a very bad signal to the Lakers in the first quarter. Under Wang Chao's lead, several starters performed, and the two sides fought to the same level. But in this case, if Wang Chao started to send

How can the Lakers withstand the strength?

Such concerns quickly became a reality.

In the second quarter, with Jamal Crawford coming on the court and taking over the ball, the Magic began to launch a fierce attack on the Lakers.

Wang Chao and Crawford took turns to break through and hit the basket with the ball, causing the Lakers' inside double tower pressure to surge. Crawford's dribble and speed are the top among the league's guards, although the finishing efficiency at the basket is not very good.

High, but his speed still makes many centers feel a headache.

Wang Chao was even more troublesome. Artest, who was responsible for defending Wang Chao, was shocked to find that Wang Chao's style of playing basketball today was very similar to Kobe. He had various super strong layups and high-difficulty shots after breaking through with the ball.

But he can still score in all these extremely difficult attacks!

With the support of his talent for walking in the air, Wang Chao's ability to stagnate the air and his interference resistance to forcibly shooting in the air have been greatly improved, and he can play like Jordan and Kobe.

Wang Chao must admit that Curry's three-pointers are indeed very powerful, and their lethality is unique in the league. However, when the game is in a stalemate or is targeted by the opponent in a comprehensive manner, it is far-reaching compared to three-point shooting.

, Medium distance is the kingly move that can be decided.

This is also one of the reasons why Curry's first three championships failed to win the FMVP, because in such unconventional occasions, the efficiency of forcing three-pointers to shoot will indeed be seriously affected when encountering the opponent's strict defense.

Although the Warriors' first championship FMVP has a huge shady scene, which makes Iguodala use to win the FMVP, it is unreasonable for any reason, but what the opponent captures is Curry's performance during the finals is far worse than usual.

The second and third championships followed, and it was more natural for Durant to compete for FMVP in the finals. Even though Durant's super-god performance during the finals was based on the reason why Curry attracted the Cavaliers to focus on defense, but Du

Rand's mid-range shots in the game and his final shots at critical moments are indisputable facts.

Durant does not have the ability to stagnate the air with Jordan and Kobe, but his height and wingspan advantage makes him completely comparable to the former's stagnate the air with the effect of stagnate the air when shooting.

Wang Chao's static talent is not as good as Durant, and he is slightly inferior to Jordan and Kobe, but when the two are combined, Wang Chao has a strong dominance in this field!

In the second quarter, Wang Chao made 6 of 10 shots and 3 of 3 free throws. Although he did not make a three-pointer, he scored 15 points in a single quarter. Cooperating with Jamal Crawford's 8 points, the Magic

In the second quarter, the score was 29:22, and the two teams ended 57:48 at halftime, with a score difference of 9 points.

During the halftime break, when Kobe walked towards the player channel, his eyes still couldn't help but look at Wang Chao on the other side, his eyes full of doubt.

Although Wang Chao's style of playing is rare, he has been used in this playoff series with the Celtics, but watching it in the game video is a completely different feeling.

Kobe only felt incredible. When did Wang Chao's ability to stagnate the air well be so good? He could attack in the way he was best at, and his shooting percentage was only higher than that of him.

There have always been few scorers who can make the paranoid Kobe admire, Jordan is one, and Iverson and McGrady are both barely considered. Now there is one more Wang Chao on this list.

In the past, Kobe's impression of Wang Chao was mainly on a magical three-pointer. Although Wang Chao gradually developed the skills of mid-range and ball-holding breakthrough, he did not reach the top level in the end.

But now, with the top-level air stagnation ability, Wang Chao's lethality in the middle distance and the penalty area has reached an unprecedented height, not inferior to Kobe himself.

This makes people who are paranoid as unyielding as Kobe, quite impressed.

With 15 points in the second quarter, Wang Chao scored 21 points at the end of the half, which was comparable to Kobe, but the Lakers had already begun to fall into a disadvantage.

In the third quarter, the Lakers failed to narrow the score. Instead, the score was further widened to double digits because the Magic's frequent firing outside the three-point line.

The two towers in the inside are unable to achieve results under Howard's strong franchise protection ability. Kobe can only continue to rely on his personal ability to score to lead the team forward, but what he needs to face is Avraro and Ariza's top leagues.

The defenders' turnaround service can still score based on their personal abilities at the beginning, but as the game progresses and physical energy is consumed, Kobe's efficiency begins to decline, and the Lakers can't stand the Magic's bombing.

The game entered the fourth quarter and the situation further deteriorated. When the fourth quarter reached 5 minutes and 47 seconds, Wang Chao and Howard made a three-pointer shot from the back of the pick-and-roll, the difference between the two teams officially reached 20.

Scores above.

Seeing that the situation was weak, the Lakers began to replace the main lineup.

This is just the first game of the finals, and it is a away game. The Lakers were mentally prepared before the game started. The victory or defeat of a game cannot directly affect the final situation, and the game has just begun.

Wang Chao helped his teammates score in the first quarter, and began to make efforts in the second and third quarters. In the end, he scored 37 points, 6 rebounds and 11 assists in the game, becoming the biggest contributor to the Magic's good start.

Howard has 16 points, 15 rebounds and 5 blocks. Except for the first quarter, there are not many attacks in the next few quarters, but his contribution to the defensive end, especially the basket defense, is crucial.

It is also one of the main achievements of the Magic's ability to win.

Except for the two super magic combinations, the Magic's outside shooters performed well, Nelson made 3 of 6 three-pointers, Avraro made 2 of 5, Channing Fry made 2 of 3, and in general

The Magic fully achieved the desired result in the first game, and if this style of play can continue in the next game, there will be no problem in winning the series.

On the Lakers side, Kobe finally scored 43 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists, but other Lakers players performed very well, facing Channing Fry's defense, Gasol made 7 of 16 shots and scored 21 points and 8 rebounds, but bye

Nam scored only 6 points and 7 rebounds under Howard's defense.

The team's sixth man, Odom, performed even worse, with 1 of 3 shots, and only 3 points, 5 rebounds and 1 assist in the game.

In fact, Odom's performance in the playoffs this season has never been satisfactory.

In previous games, he averaged only 9.7 points, 8.6 rebounds and 2 assists. Although his performance was not bad, he was not outstanding, especially with the Magic's sixth man Jamal, who averaged about 18 points during the playoffs.

.Compared with Crawford.

In fact, many people can clearly feel that Odom's degree of investment and concentration in the game are obviously insufficient, and his professional attitude is often distracted and his professional attitude is also questioned.

This has always been the main reason for Odom's achievements as a "left-handed magician".

Many people also attribute this to Odom's wife Khloe Kardashian. After all, as a famous NBA star harvester, few NBA stars who have a relationship with the Kardashian family have done well in the league.

Even Harden only truly ushered in the explosive period of his career after breaking up with Khloe Kardashian and won the regular season MVP.

But in fact, the main reason is Odom himself. This is a player who does not have much desire to win and fight. For him, the NBA is just a job to make money. Whether there is a championship or not will not affect his money.

Why do you work so hard?

It’s also a blessing that he is in the Lakers. He has such a paranoid as Kobe in the team. He doesn’t dare to act too badly. Most of the time, he is still in a proper manner, but if he wants him to play harder... then don’t think about it.

Of course, the problem faced by the Lakers is not just Odom. The Magic's current one-star lineup is indeed very strong, especially when Wang Chao, a top shooter who is comparable to Curry, the pressure on the defensive end is that he has Wang Chao, a top shooter who is comparable to Curry,

Shandong University.

This is really too different from the level of the Magic Team, which should be the Lewis version in history.

The Lakers, who lost the first game, made some adjustments in the game two days later, successfully moved back to a city at 104:94 in the second match on June 6, rewriting the total score to 1:1.

Kobe's performance in this game was very average, with only 21 points in 8 of 20 shots in the game, but the Lakers' double towers showed their strength, Paul Gasol scored 25 points and 11 rebounds, and Bynum scored 20 points, 6 rebounds and 7 blocks.

Howard, who completely suppressed the two in the inside line in the last game, was targeted by the Lakers. Kobe kept holding the ball and attacking the frame to create fouls, but the referee whistled every time, causing Howard to fall into a foul crisis early and stayed off the court.

He spent more time than on the court. In the end, he was punished to leave the court with six fouls after halfway through the fourth quarter, and his personal data was only 14 points, 10 rebounds and 3 blocks.

The Lakers' tactics against Howard were very successful, which led to the Magic's missed inside. Without Howard, the Lakers' Two Towers teamed up to score 45 points. Even if Kobe performed a little worse, he still won the game.

But this move can only be used once.

On June 8, in the third game of the series, Howard learned from the previous game. He played very carefully in this game. Some defenses with foul risk would rather give up strategically and watch the opponent score.

Taking risks, although this move caused Howard's defensive ability to fall slightly under the basket, he successfully controlled the number of fouls in the entire game to be less than 3 times.

Howard was on the court, and the situation immediately changed.

Bynum, who was still powerful in the last game, made only 3 of 9 shots at home, scored 9 points and 7 rebounds, while Gasol also had only 13 points, 10 rebounds and 4 assists.

Kobe's performance in this game was not satisfactory. Avraro and Ariza, two outside defense experts from the A-rank generation, took turns to defend Kobe, while also discussing and exchanging experiences.

Avraro was one of the most difficult defensive players to get rid of by Kobe himself later admitted, so he was named "Bryant Terminator". Ariza himself is a well-known top outside defense expert and has also been a member of Kobe.

Teammates for a while have a very good understanding of Kobe's technical characteristics.

When Kobe met these two guys, he was in trouble. Their defensive styles were completely different. Moreover, he defended Kobe in turn. Even if he was strong in his life, he would not be afraid of anyone. He also felt a headache when facing the defense of the two.

Besides, even if you pass the outside defense and rush into the inside, you have to face Howard's backup defense, which can be said to be full of pressure on the offensive end.

I can only say that Kobe is worthy of Kobe. Even in the face of such high-intensity defensive pressure, he still got the highest team's 29 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists, only making 10 of 29 shots, with a 34.5% shooting percentage silently telling.

What to do...

On the Magic, Wang Chao scored a game-high 34 points, Howard scored 17 points and 13 rebounds, and Crawford scored 21 points, and won the game in Los Angeles, and the score also reached 2:1.

The Lakers who lost the game immediately regained their momentum. Kobe, who had only made 10 of 29 shots in the last game, rebounded strongly in this game, knocking down Avraro and Ariza, making 10 of 22 shots, and 6 of 11 three-pointers.

He scored 33 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists, and his three-pointer was almost comparable to Wang Chao.

The Lakers won the fourth game 96:92, and the two teams were equally chasing each other, and the score was tied at 2:2.

However, with the G5 Magic team making its way in the finals, it beat the Lakers 113:97 and 16 points, taking the lead in winning the battle of Tianwang Mountain, rewriting the total score to 3:2, and the situation began to be biased towards the Magic team.

In the first five games, although the two teams won and lost each other, Wang Chao's performance was always stable. Compared with Kobe, whose shooting percentage fluctuated under the defense of the Magic's vanguard, Wang Chao's shooting percentage has always been

They are all stable at around 50%, averaging 33.2 points, 5.7 rebounds and 8.8 assists per game in five games. The performance has to suppress Kobe, who is averaging 30.8 points, 6 rebounds and 4.2 assists per game, and has a shooting percentage of 41%.

For a team, what a player who performs stably and efficiently means is self-evident.
