In the next few minutes, the offensive and defensive tactics of the Magic and Lakers teams were very obvious.

Among them, the Magic mainly defended Kobe's shooting at mid-range, forcing him to leave his shooting comfort zone, making it impossible for him to score in the way he likes most in the regular season.

On the offensive end, the Magic tried to avoid contacting the Lakers' main strong points. Instead, Su Jiu and Howard made a big deal about Fisher's lack of movement speed after the opening.

After all, in the Lakers' starting lineup, except Fisher, the other four people have excellent defensive abilities.

Although Gasol's defense in the interior is not considered top in the league, he still has no problem facing Lewis, who is mainly based on shooting.

This situation also leads to the fact that the Magic can really target the target on the court, and the only point that the old fish Fisher can target is left.

It has to be said that the Lakers can perform dominantly this season, except because the team has the league's top superstar Kobe Bryant.

Others' defensive ability on the court is also crucial, because whether it is the "Little Shark" Bynum, the "Cobra" Ariza, or the "left-handed magician" Odom on the bench, these people can be said to be both offensive and defensive.

So in this case, when the Lakers can limit the opponent's score on the offensive end through their overall strength.

Then on the offensive end, Zen Master Jackson can use Kobe's personal ability to play his favorite triangle offense, thereby using superstar tactics to kill the game bit by bit.

Although the Lakers only ranked 12th among the 30 teams in the league this season, the Lakers ranked second to last in the league in their average points.

This means that the Lakers are the second-most lost points per game among the 30 teams in the league this season, second only to the Celtics.

This is also the main reason why the Lakers' game scores are not very high.

Because during this period, the Lakers never rely on offense to win, but to use Kobe to drive his teammates to kill the game bit by bit while limiting the opponent's scoring.

As for some weak teams in the league, the Lakers will play more easily, because when facing different opponents, the team's efficiency on the offensive end may fluctuate significantly, but on the defensive end, the team can be as tough as ever.

For the Lakers, the Lakers in this game are no different from their regular season play styles. The offensive end mainly takes Kobe as the absolute core.

On the court, I always insist on playing a slow-paced game, and the offensive end made a triangle attack without any surprise.

On the defensive end, the Lakers also did not use joint defense, but instead used a man-to-person defensive tactic, choosing to use the players' personal abilities to solve the offense of the opponents on the court.

Regarding this, it may be the biggest difference between Zen masters Jackson and Doug Rivers.

For Doug Rivers, he likes to use stars to play individual singles on the offensive end, but on the defensive end, he likes to use joint defense very much.

With Garnett as the absolute core, the Celtics' defense this season is airtight.

But in contrast, Zen Master Jackson prefers to believe in the players' personal abilities, and his tactics on the court basically need to be adjusted based on the players' personal abilities.

It can be said that Jackson’s true strength is never his tactical qualities, but his ability to maximize the personal abilities of a team.

So in the first quarter, both teams could be said to have loopholes on the court, or it could be said that it was Zen Master Jackson or Stan Van Gundy.

These two people are both people who know the level of Lao Gu, so they are unwilling to make too many tactical changes on both offense and defense.

More than hoping that the players will make adjustments on the field, rather than forcibly performing rigid running positions according to tactics.

It was in this case that with the Magic and the Lakers several lineup rotations, finally, after the first quarter, the Magic team played away from home were:

21:21

The draw with the Lakers ended the first quarter of the two sides.

Barkley: "Haha, I really didn't expect that after the first quarter, the Magic actually tied with the Lakers away, which was obviously beyond the expectations of many people."

"But at this stage of the game, the game will definitely be very fierce, and this match is often the scene that fans are most looking forward to."

Kenny Smith: "That's right, but after the first quarter, we have to praise Sue of the Magic."

"He played really well in the whole first quarter. You know, the Magic were able to play so smoothly in the first quarter, thanks to Sue's offensive targeting against Derek (Fisher)."

"After all, other points of the Magic are not very advantageous when facing the Lakers' defense. Even if Dwight beats Andrew (Bynum) for two rounds in the first quarter, we can still see that he is still in a relatively difficult state."

"So, the Magic can play in this situation until the end of the first quarter, thanks to Su's performance on the offensive end."

Barkley: "Indeed, the Lakers seem to have not had a good idea for Sue, even if Phil already took turns to defend in the first quarter."

"But to be honest, the final effect is not very good, because both of these two people have very fatal flaws on the defensive end. One person has insufficient speed and the other person has insufficient strength."

"So Sue will become very smart when playing on the court, and he will use what kind of offensive strategy he will use when facing the defense."

"I have to say that although the Lakers' defense is very strong this season, it is still a little worse than the Celtics. After all, the Celtics this season beat the Lakers in the average score loss list and ranked first in the league this season."

Kenny Smith: "The final thing I have to say is that if the Lakers cannot solve Su's threat on the offensive end in the game, then the result of this game will probably go in an unpredictable direction."

"And similarly, we are also looking forward to whether Phil will use Kobe to play a match with Su in the next step. After all, the Lakers' best defensive ability on the back is Kobe."

After returning from the second quarter, most of the main lineups of both sides had already left the court to rest, and they basically replaced the second lineup to compete.

Among them, in this game, Van Gundy continued his previous personal use of Iverson.

He still chose to let Iverson rest in the first quarter, and then led the second team to play with Iverson.

This kind of method of employing people seems to have become Van Gundy's habit.

However, the Magic faced the Lakers in this game, which is very different from the Cavaliers faced in the Eastern Conference Finals.

Because this Lakers not only has a very strong starting lineup, but also has excellent offensive firepower on the bench.

Among them, the second team led by Odom and Walton will play more smoothly on the court. Compared with the heroism in the starting lineup, the Lakers in the second team prefer group attacks.

As the last bead of the sixth man of the year, Odom has averaged 12.6 points, 8.4 rebounds and 3.7 assists in the regular season this season.

And this data is also the data that Odom contributed when he averaged less than 30 minutes of playing time.

So this season, Odom failed to be the starting lineup of the Lakers, not because of his lack of strength, but because of Zen Master Jackson's strategy of employing people.

After all, as the champion coach in NBA history, Zen Master Jackson understands that if you want the team to go further in one season, then the strong starting lineup is not enough.

Among them, the contribution of the substitute lineup to the team can also be said to be unignorable.

Although Odom has not played much time and his personal data has not exploded much this season, sometimes Odom's contribution to the court cannot be reflected in the data.

For example, some of the discussion on the offensive end and the supplementary defense on the defensive end are often things that cannot be reflected in basic data.

So if it weren't for the Los Angeles Lakers, then at his peak, Odom would have the capital to be trained as the third or even the second in the NBA team.

However, although Odom performed very well this season, he met a weirdo in the Best Sixth Man selection, and finally had to regretfully miss the award for Best Sixth Man this season.

That's right, the one who beats Odom in the sixth man of the season is the Denver Nuggets' draw king JR Smith.

This season's JR Smith averaged 17.4 points, 4.6 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game in the regular season.

And with a shooting percentage of only 45%, the three-point shooting percentage is as high as 39.6%.

So under JR Smith's strong offensive firepower, Odom finally ended up regretfully and ended up second in pain.

Facing Jordan Famal, who is only 22 years old this year, Iverson's face has no expression on his face. Not only is he not stressed at all, but he even has a hint of contempt in his momentum.

Although Jordan Famal, who was selected in the 26th pick in the first round of 2006, is also a player famous for his speed.

But at this moment, Iverson, whose physical functions have begun to deteriorate due to age, has completed personal jokes on him several times on the court.

If Su Jiu's difficulty in defending on the offensive end comes from his clear mind and all-round attacking methods.

So for Iverson, it seems much simpler, that is, blindly burying his head and starting to kill the inside line. As for the difference, it is just whether you need to call a pick-and-roll.

And after Ariza and Bynum left the court to rest, the defensive pressure faced by Iverson instantly dropped to a higher level.

Facing Jordan Famal's personal defense, Iverson made a gesture and called out a pick-and-roll to the "Polish Hammer" Gotat.

Using the pick-and-roll, Iverson directly started to break through from the right side, and then took another step forward while walking, and kept moving. The basketball quickly moved from the right side to the left side, and then completed a forward change without any signs.

Facing Iverson's sudden change of direction, although Famar had tried his best to defend, he was still shook his space away.

Fortunately, with his stable defensive focus, Famal changed his defensive movements immediately and quickly followed Iverson who began to break to the left.

But as Famal forced the center of gravity of his body and pounced on him again, Iverson directly attached to Famal's body while walking. Without a slight pause, he completed a ball turning to the right.

Iverson's entire set of actions can be called smooth flowing. Not only did hesitate at all, but he even had no pause in the movements.

Its fluency is as skillful as if a robot had been entered.

After Iverson's unpredictable body movements, his body's change direction quickly turned around, Famal, who had obviously lacked experience in tough battles, was already confused at the first time and lost his defensive focus on Iverson.

In the end, after successfully passing the defender, Iverson, who turned around, made a shot in front of the body.

Whether it was the previous one who had been exaggerating or the final one on his wrist, Iverson's actions were extremely wonderful, and even gave people the feeling of being like a textbook.

"Swish~"

With Iverson's throw shot, the Magic's bench performed an exaggerated performance immediately.

Especially Su Jiu, who was resting on the bench at this moment, as Iverson scored, Su Jiu bounced up with a "scarlet" sound.

He raised his right hand high towards Iverson on the court and shouted with a smile:

"Beautiful job, Allen, keep working hard, you almost caught up with me, haha."

Hearing the extremely recognizable crazy words on the sidelines, Iverson, who was returning to defense, turned around immediately and smiled at Su Jiu, who was bragging against the court at this moment.

Then he spread his hands and pretended to be quite helpless, and replied to Su Jiu:

"Hey, I don't want to do it either, but the opponent is really vulnerable..."

When Su Jiu heard the answer from Aaron Iverson, he lay directly in Little Lizi's arms. He smiled so hard that he was so happy that he could not help but shed tears.

"Haha, Allen is really good at bragging, he is even better than me, haha."

"It's vulnerable. If I remember correctly, he didn't seem to say that when facing Trevo (Ariza) in the first quarter, haha."
