Barnes is not great.

Qin Yang has to admit that this is a good teammate.

But Barnes is not good at attacking with the ball, and the first ball, even if the old fish Fisher is very slow, can still evaluate the power to put pressure on Barnes.

Matt Barnes forced a breakthrough, and after reaching the basket, he met Pau Gasol's help and successfully hit the iron.

Bynum got the rebound, and the Magic offense failed.

Qin Yang expected this, but he was still a little depressed.

The Lakers' starting lineup of the Big Four, except for the old fish Fisher, is difficult to deal with, but the only one that is easy to deal with is Barnes, so this game is difficult to play.

The Lakers attacked, Kobe Bryant passed to Pau Gasol, Gasol singled Rashad Lewis, made a guard move to break through and score a layup.

Rashad Lewis has been in poor form this season, and his pace has been slow since a serious injury, and he simply can't keep up with Pau Gasol's pace.

Overall, Rashad Lewis is a projection power forward, but Pau Gasol is an all-around power forward. In this position, the Lakers have the advantage.

The Magic team attacked, Barnes made a cover, Qin Yang wanted to play against the old fish Fisher, but the old fish Fisher was very smart to dodge, and Kobe Bryant next to him directly helped to defend.

Kobe Bryant's action is very large, his legs are pressing Qin Yang's legs, after this action is done, if Qin Yang wants to break through, his legs will not be able to exert force, and it will have an impact.

If it's a regular season, ordinary players can easily get fouled if they do this.

But Bryant did this, and the referee didn't seem to see it.

Breaking through the problem, Kobe Bryant stretched out his arm to put pressure on Qin Yang.

Qin Yang was shaking, and Kobe Bryant was not in a hurry.

Syllable!

Qin Yang volleyball, crotch crossover, Kobe Bryant did not panic at all, Qin Yang pulled the ball, stepped back and made a shooting action, Kobe immediately moved forward.

This season, Qin Yang has made too many step-back jumpers, and even if this action may be fake, the defenders must keep up.

Kobe Bryant moved forward, the moment the center changed, Qin Yang directly pulled the ball to break through, Kobe couldn't keep up at all, but at this time, Kobe Bryant stood up, and then dressed to Qin Yang on the side of his body.

Nima!

Qin Yang instantly felt MMP in his heart, Kobe's move was too shameless, and in an instant, Qin Yang's broken through body was knocked back by Kobe, compared to strength, Qin Yang couldn't compare to Kobe.

Stopping urgently, Qin Yang shot directly.

Kobe Bryant stepped out and raised high.

Qin Yang shot quickly, the basketball smashed on the basket and talked out, in order to avoid Kobe's block, Qin Yang could pursue the speed of the shot, and at the same time, the rhythm of his body being hit by Kobe Bryant slowed down.

Bang!

The basketball hit the iron, and Bynum got the rebound.

Lakers offense.

The Lakers are not in a hurry at all, and even Kobe Bryant is not in a hurry to ask for the ball, because the strength of the Lakers team is too strong this year, and as long as they play normally, the probability of the Magic team winning is very low.

Kobe Bryant singled with the ball, Barnes was overpaced by Kobe, Howard assisted in defense, Kobe passed to Bynum, and Bynum scored easily under the basket.

Kobe Bryant didn't fight randomly, and Qin Yang felt a strong pressure.

The Magic team attacked, Qin Yang passed the ball to Petrus, and then made a cover for Petrus, Kobe Bryant assisted in the defense, Qin Yang received the ball again, and Artest defended closely.

The Lakers' assistance defense is very strong, unless they find an opportunity to match the old fish Fisher, Qin Yang and Petrus have no chance to shoot directly.

Under the lineup of Bynum and Pau Gasol, Artest on the outside is under a lot of defensive pressure, Kobe Bryant is a superstar, and the defensive action makes Qin Yang feel disgusted, such a lineup is really sad.

In the first quarter, Qin Yang was 3 of 7 and 1 of 2 free throws, and almost all of his three shots were aimed at people.

I can't help it, I really can't find a good opportunity.

This score is already the highest for the Magic.

But the Magic still trailed 23-28 in the first quarter.

Trailing in the first quarter, which is very rare in this year's playoffs, in fact, this season's playoff journey has been fairly smooth for the Magic.

Although there were accidents, they swept their teammates 4-0 three times in a row and directly advanced to the finals, proving the strength of the Magic team.

Breaks.

The Magic were in an awkward atmosphere, and Barnes was gasping for air as he sipped his drink.

"Matt, how are you feeling?"

Qin Yang stepped forward to greet and asked. Matt Barnes wiped his sweat: "It's okay, it's just that Kobe Bryant is too difficult to defend, and the effect is not good." ”

In the first quarter, Bryant took 6 shots, shooting 2-of-6 from the field and shooting at a seemingly low rate, but he made 4-of-5 free throws and scored 8 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists.

Barnes is not defending alone, with Howard assisting in defense and Qin Yang supplementing the defense outside, and as a result, Kobe Bryant's efficiency is still so high.

Kobe Bryant, who is not stubborn and does it alone, is terrible.

Able to attract defense, can pass the ball to teammates, and has the physical strength to stand up and score when it matters most.

The Lakers are like a huge monster, not giving the Magic team a chance at all, even if Qin Yang continued to play in the second quarter, 3 of 3 three-pointers in the first six minutes, equalizing the score, but the Magic team still relied on the strength advantage and slowly opened the gap.

Howard struggled slightly, Bynum, Odom, and Pau Gasol took turns to step forward and beat Howard very untempered.

The third quarter continued to lag behind.

In the fourth quarter, Qin Yang continued to shoot three-pointers, but the shooting rate of 1 in 4 hit his teammates in a wave, and the Magic team lost almost no suspense in the first game.

Kobe Bryant was 10-of-22 from the field, 9-of-10 from the free-throw line, and scored 30 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists, which was super efficient.

The game is over, in the locker room.

Howard had just finished taking a shower, but his face was ugly, and he looked at everyone and muttered:

"Everyone didn't play well enough in this game, they didn't play with momentum at all, they didn't work hard enough to defend, you see how many points Kobe Bryant scored."

As soon as Howard's words came out, the others stopped talking.

The atmosphere of the team immediately froze.

Qin Yang's brows furrowed, a little dissatisfied:

"Dwight, you're not right."

"What's wrong?" If someone else dared to say this, Dwight would definitely be going crazy, but Qin Yang said this, and Dwight could barely accept it.

"Kobe Bryant shot only 45% from the field in this game, do you know how much Kobe shot against the Suns? 58%！ That reduced shooting percentage was Barnes' effort. ”

Qin Yang said directly.

Barnes didn't perform in this game, and Qin Yang didn't approve of it.

Although Barnes's 2-of-6 shooting percentage was a bit pitiful, and he didn't blow up in the face of the old fish Fisher, Barnes's role was still obvious.

Barnes and Petrus did average on the offensive end, but they fought the defensive end.

Howard said that it did nothing other than make his teammates angry and make the atmosphere worse on the team.

Howard didn't say anything when he heard this.

But two days later, on June 6, the Magic played the Lakers at home.

The Magic are still in crisis.

At the beginning of the game, the two sides fell into the rhythm of the last game, there was no advantage on the inside and outside, and Artest's defense was very tough, which limited Qin Yang very well.

Howard played very average in the encirclement, with 15 points and 13 rebounds, no matter how you look at it.

When Qin Yang and Howard were restricted, others couldn't stand up at all, and Vince Carter was even stuck in a three-high lineup and couldn't bring a substitute.

In the third quarter, the Magic trailed by 16 points and almost surrendered.

In the fourth quarter, Qin Yang was 3 of 9, completely pitting the Magic team, and there was no suspense that the two home Magic teams lost.

The Magic can't hold back.
