Chapter 131: Take the lead

After winning the 76ers, Nets fans held a victory parade.

After Thorne took over the management, he achieved such good results in his first season, which has never been seen in NBA history. The heroes such as Gao Ming, Yao Ming and Kid also became city heroes.

Gao Ming didn't care much about this because he knew that NBA was a business world and fans were forgetful. If your grades were always good, they would put you on the altar. But once your grades were not good, they would push you down from the altar with their own hands.

He began to think about the lineup of the finals. The Martial Saint's bad squad in the second half made him feel very passive. But there was no way. He encountered a rookie wall and it would be difficult to play without making any changes.

Although Gao Ming knew that he broke the rookie wall later, now it is critical that he cannot use the finals time to bet whether he can break the wall!

This makes it a little trouble. He now has two choices, one is to start with Newman, so that he can play against Glenn Rice. However, Newman's defense is not very good, and he is better at playing with Van Horn in the connection stage, and the Hammer tactics can just play his strengths.

Let Reed play! Although Reed has little experience in the game, he may be beaten up against Kobe. However, Reed is the fastest player in the Nets and should be able to keep up with Kobe's speed and interfere with him.

Although Barry has rich experience in the game, his speed has already made Gao Ming give up and he has reached the top of his talent. Defensive position 2 is slow, and defense of the third position is enough.

After all, Barry is not a member of his team-building policy. When Reed grows up, he will put Barry on the bench. Barry can still deal with those not-so-good substitutes second position.

Because the Lakers also swept the opponent in the Western Conference Finals. Therefore, the first game of the two teams will be held on May 30.

Before the game, Kobe said that he would definitely win from New Jersey. O'Neal's tone became much more tactful, but he still said that he would win the game.

This year, the Lakers' strength has exceeded the original time and space. O'Neal, Kobe, and Glenn Rice are all famous stars. It is completely wrong to say that this lineup is OK. If Glen Rice is given enough ball rights, the Lakers can be completely the Big Three.

However, this three giants are not obtained by joining together. They are cultivated by the Lakers through trading, so no one will say anything.

Kidd and Yao Ming also expressed their determination to win, and the gunpowder smell of both sides was a bit rich in the first game.

The Lakers' starting lineup is O'Neal, Horeth Grant, Glen Rice, Kobe, and Fisher.

Yao Ming beat O'Neal by jumping the ball, and Kidd took the ball to the frontcourt. Fisher stepped forward to defend. Kidd tried to push it, but found that he could not push Fisher away. Fisher is a strong defender, and he is not good at dealing with speed defenders, but it is very suitable for a strong defender like Kidd.

Obviously, the Zen master asked Fisher to play to deal with Kid.

Kidd did not attack hard, but instead hung the ball to Yao Ming.

O'Neal defended himself strictly, but Yao Ming hooked and faked his move, then turned around, leaned back and threw the ball in.

"You are cheating!" O'Neal muttered dissatisfied.

The fans were excited. What did they see? They actually saw Yao Ming using the defender's shooting. Although it looked a little clumsy, the picture was not very beautiful. However, Yao Ming was a big man of 2.26 meters, and it would be a miracle to be able to use it.

Otherwise, how could O'Neal say that Yao Ming was cheating?

Gao Ming nodded with satisfaction. After arriving at the NBA, Yao Ming's progress became bigger and bigger. I believe that in two or three years, he would reach his peak. At that time, even if the Nets could not maintain their current lineup, they could still dominate the NBA with his personal ability.

The Lakers played in the triangle offense, and Kobe handed the ball to O'Neal very sensible.

O'Neal played against Yao Ming alone, first arched him, then jumped and hooked to catch up with the score.

Now Yao Ming and O'Neal can form mutual protection. However, they need to pay special attention, otherwise they will be restricted by each other.

Therefore, the two of them are not the winner of this game, and can only be used as conventional weapons.

The real winner is in the connection stage, O'Neal and Yao Ming are off the court, and the Lakers hand over the main attack power to Kobe.

Gao Ming also adjusted his lineup and prepared to beat the hammer tactics.

Kobe got the ball and his offensive desire was cast. He broke through Reed in one step and rushed into the three-point line. Williams made up for defense, and Reed followed closely behind.

But facing the double defense, Kobe didn't care at all. He threw the basketball out before they got close.

"Swish!"

Gao Ming shook his head and used Kobe in the connection stage, which was indeed a wonderful move, and the Zen master also took great pains to do so.

Kidd dribbles and directs his teammates to run hammer tactics. But at this time the problem came. There was something wrong with Williams' fake cover, and Kidd did not completely throw away Fisher. Fortunately, Reed ran out of the open position, Kidd quickly passed the ball and Reed made a three-pointer.

Reed has always been in good condition when he was reused and commanded. He performed well both on the offensive and defensive ends.

The Zen master's heart moved. Is this the Nets' new tactic? It looks very clever!

However, he stubbornly believed that triangular offense was the best tactic, and no matter how clever other tactics were, they were not as good as triangular offense.

The Lakers continued to attack the triangle and gave Kobe a chance to play singles.

Reed followed Gao Ming's instructions and did not allow Kobe to attack outside the three-point line, but directly approached him to the middle distance. Even if Kobe can score in the middle distance, he still had to do so.

How could Kobe keep scoring under the double-team of the two? His shooting percentage is barely 50%, which is already very efficient.

However, after the Nets' Hammer tactic, the three-point shooting percentage reached 40%, which was converted into two-point shooting percentage, with a shooting percentage of 60%, and the score difference widened.

The Zen master frowned slightly and soon figured out what the problem was. He called a timeout, asked Kobe to come down to rest, replaced Glenn Rice, and continued to play singles. Then he let the others guard the bottom corner three-pointer.

When he was on the court, he found that the Nets made a large substitution. Kidd was off the court and Yao Ming was on the court.

This substitution caught the Zen master off guard, but the first quarter ended in more than a minute, so he couldn't make any adjustments.

Yao Ming took advantage of this minute to widen the score.

In the second quarter, the Lakers still wanted to chase the score. But how could Gao Ming let it go? He asked Kidd and Yao Ming to lead the team on the court, and strictly prevented the Lakers from shooting three-pointers. Without making mistakes, it was difficult to chase points with two-pointers.

The Nets have been ahead until the end of the game and the next game first.
