The game started with Kobe Bryant standing in the center of the court, and he continued to start this game with a very important task.

In the previous game against the Jazz, Kobe Bryant performed well, scoring 11 points in a row in the final quarter, 34 points, 5 rebounds and 7 assists in the whole game, helping the team win the game, and even against the Clippers, Kobe Bryant also continued his excellent form, 25 points in one game and 28 points in the other.

Scott Pippen is also a variety of 15+5+5, and his personal performance has met expectations.

Vaguely, the Lakers really have the meaning of the "Big Three".

Playing the King, Qiao Hai believes that Kobe Bryant needs to play, and the team needs Kobe to rush on the outside, whether it is offensive or defensive, as long as Kobe can rush up, the King who focuses on Princeton tactics will be easily overwhelmed.

The king's tactics are pure Princeton tactics, Kings head coach Rick Adelman and his assistant, who is also the founder of Princeton tactics, Pete Carell created this set of tactics that are most suitable for the Kings, Chris Webber and Divac's passing attributes perfectly match this set of tactics, Qiao Hai has also faced Princeton tactics before, but it is a Princeton tactic at the Drew League level, and the King's Princeton tactics are already the strongest Princeton tactics in NBA history.

Shaquille O'Neal and Divac jump ball, the Lakers' old and new center matchup, Vlad Divac won the jump ball.

The king attacked first, and Derek Fisher faced Jason Williams, Jason Williams is nicknamed White Chocolate, the origin of this nickname, on the one hand, Jason Williams is very white, on the other hand, because he plays fancy and very ornamental, a white man can actually have black technology, so the opposite of normal dark chocolate is white chocolate.

White Chocolate did play with a lot of money, but in the opening game, he still honestly controlled the ball, and after Vlad Divac pulled to the outside and received the ball high in the field, White Chocolate began his off-ball run.

As a rookie, White Chocolate has been extremely good this season, arguably some of his best performers in the 1998 draft.

However, the advantages and disadvantages of white chocolate are obvious, and Qiao Hai has also made some targeted arrangements, hoping to open a breakthrough from white chocolate.

In the opening game, the Lakers didn't get too good a chance, Divac responded high, Chris Webber turned to the mid-range to receive the ball, shook Robert Horry, and the readjusted shot hit directly.

Qiao Hai frowned, what he was most afraid of was that Chris Webber was hot, if Webber opened the situation, Qiao Hai really couldn't find anyone to defend Webb, and now, Qiao Hai regretted sending away Elden Campbell or Tony Barty, this deal left the Lakers without too many rotation players available on the inside.

The Kings scored in the opening game, and the Lakers' offense was not impatient and still steady.

Scott Pippen organized the offense from the outside, and Shaquille O'Neal received a basketball single, turned and missed a hook shot.

The rebound was taken directly by Vlad Divac.

At this time, the most difficult place for the Lakers to play this game is reflected, in the face of the king, the Lakers have always had a huge advantage on the inside, and instantly became no advantage, O'Neal is hard to beat with both hands, no matter what, Robert Horry is just a functional player, unable to give O'Neal more help, single defense and three-point defense are okay, rebounding protection and interior defense are what Robert Horry can't do.

Divac grabbed the rebound and launched a counterattack, Jason Williams played, a fancy no-look pass in the front court, Abduwahad rushed into the interior and dunked, 4:0!

The Lakers' offense, O'Neal asked for a single again, Divac still has a big gap compared with O'Neal in terms of physical fitness, the Lakers created a one-on-one singles opportunity for O'Neal, O'Neal crushed Divac into the basket, turned around and forced a layup.

4:2, at this moment, O'Neill's role is manifested.

However, the turning king once again played a perfect wave of positional offense, Chris Webber passed through the Lakers' defense, and passed directly to the hands of white chocolate, who shot in the white chocolate, 6:2!

In the opening game, the Kings hit three shots in a row, Qiao Hai frowned, the Kings played such an efficient offensive coordination, which means that the Lakers' defense has problems.

The defensive tactics arranged by Qiao Hai in the opening are man-marking, but obviously the players on the court have not been able to play man-marking, and they will always leak people, the king's passing is very powerful, except for small forward Abduwahad, the other four people have a strong ability to pass and assist, so far this season, Webb and Divac have averaged more than 4 assists per game, white chocolate Jason Williams also has an average of about 6 assists per game, and scoring guard Vernon Maxwell is also a strongman who averaged 5 assists per game at his peak, but he joined the king this season, The average assists per game has dropped below 4.

Such excellent passing ability directly made the King's Princeton strategy full of opportunities.

Qiao Hai already had the idea of adjusting, but he had to wait, Qiao Hai decided to continue to observe, he wanted to find the center of gravity of the King's offense in this game, and then focus on defense.

Before Qiao Hai could adjust, the commentator couldn't wait to start criticizing.

Brad Turner is well aware that when the Lakers are behind, it's his time to perform.

"The Lakers are lagging behind, as expected, a team that plays all the way to the king, a team that is very mature in terms of skills and tactics, it is normal to be suppressed, but China Qiao's adjustment is too slow, and if it continues like this, the Lakers will be in danger......"

It seems that Brad Turner's commentary is thinking about the Lakers everywhere, but in fact, Qiao Hai is criticized everywhere, criticizing Qiao Hai's team for only playing singles, criticizing Qiao Hai's adjustment too slowly, and so on......

ESPN's two full-time commentators were also very cooperative, and Gary Cohen also frowned: "Indeed, as Mr. Bullard said, the Lakers' tactics are too simple, singles from beginning to end, that is, the Lakers have three major stars, otherwise Qiao Hai would have been out of class a long time ago." ”

Bradturner smiled and nodded repeatedly: "That's right, in Qiao Hai's hands, the Lakers have become a singles team, and the game is not enjoyable at all." ”

The commentary bench tried his best to criticize, but Qiao Hai was not in a hurry, seeing Chris Webber getting the ball in the middle distance several times, and Divac always appeared in the high position, Qiao Hai understood the specific arrangement of the king, walked directly to the sidelines, and called a timeout.

Joe's adjustment was simple, Shaquille O'Neal retreated to the penalty area, Robert Horrila pulled to the outside, and the two switched positions directly on the defensive end.

While Kobe Bryant faced off against White Chocolate, Derrick Fisher went to defend Vernon Maxwell, and the two guards also switched defenses on the defensive end.

After the change of defense, the Lakers' defense is finally a bit more organized, and the King's passing looks less threatening.

The two teams exploded each other, and after the first quarter, the Lakers trailed the Kings by 3 points at 26-29.
