The arena at the Great Western Forum Arena has been filled with Lakers fans.

Although Qiao Hai is deeply encircled by public opinion, there is still no shortage of fans who support Qiao Hai at the scene, perhaps because of the home game, Jerry West seems to attach great importance to this game and also came to the scene.

As a result, as soon as Jerry West appeared, there was a series of boos at the scene.

Although it was just a boo in the corner, it was very surprising, Jerry West was the godfather of the Lakers, and someone actually booed Jerry West at the Lakers' home court, thinking about it, it was really incredible.

McBrin and Marv Albert commented on the game, and they could guess why this part of the fans booed Jerry West.

McBlin has always supported Qiao Hai, but when he heard this boo in the Great Western Forum Arena, McBlin still sighed a little: "Even the godfather of the Lakers will be booed on his home court, and the current fans really don't even have the slightest patience." ”

Mav Albert predicted: "Look, Mike, when China Joe comes out of the players' tunnel, maybe some fans will boo him." ”

This prediction soon came true.

The large army of the Lakers rushed out of the player tunnel, Qiao Hai was a little slower, but it was also about the same time, and after arriving at the court, there was a burst of boos on the scene.

Marf Albert guessed correctly, and McBlin was even more speechless: "The current situation of the Lakers is not optimistic, although they have reached the Western Conference Finals, but the problems in the team are really too serious, Qiao Hai is about to leave class, the new coach has been determined, the management and coach are not aligned, such a Laker, do they really have a chance to reach the Finals?" ”

Marf Albert wanted to shake his head, if you look at the current state of infighting among the Lakers, it will be difficult for such a Laker to beat the Spurs who are similar to them.

On the sidelines, Qiao Hai walked up to Jerry West, as if exchanging something, McBrin and Marf Albert have been speculating that the problems within the Lakers are mainly Qiao Hai and Jerry West's problems.

Qiao Hai is still in office, but Jerry West has already chosen Qiao Hai's successor, which is the main problem.

But in fact, Qiao Hai and Jerry West just said hello, Jerry West also encouraged Qiao Hai, he hoped that Qiao Hai could lead the team to win the Spurs, Qiao Hai didn't know if this was a cliché, anyway, he was serious, this Spurs, he was definitely going to win.

Time flies, on the field, the warm-up of the players on both sides is over, and the starters are ready to play.

Both sides are regular starters, with point guard Derrick Fisher, shooting guard Kobe Bryant, small forward Scott Pippen, power forward Robert Horry, and center Shaquille O'Neal.

Looking at the Lakers' regular starters, Greg Popovich guessed the Lakers' opening tactical play.

With the Lakers' unchanged starting lineup, Gregg Popovich guesses that the Lakers' tactical play in this game will not change much.

However, it is clear that Popovich guessed wrong, and the Lakers in this game will be dominated by the outside, not the inside of the first two games.

O'Neal and David Robinson jumped the ball, O'Neal was a step slower and was robbed by David Robinson.

However, the Spurs' opening attack was directly defended, and they were still the same old routine, Duncan took the ball in the middle distance and singled, but then the mid-range shot that followed was interfered with by Horry and did not score.

O'Neal grabbed the rebound, and he was no longer the main offense in this game, and it was a lot easier in an instant.

The ball in the front court was given to Kobe, which is a change for the Lakers, but it is not very obvious, and most people will not pay attention to it, in the past, the ball was given to Scott Pippen first, but now it has changed, directly to Kobe, let Kobe Bryant single, and open the situation through Kobe's single.

Bryant was defending the ball in the frontcourt, and defending him was Mario Arie, the Spurs' defensive stunt on the perimeter.

said to be a defensive leader, in fact, the level of single defense is only in the middle and upper reaches of the league, relying on the help of Duncan on the inside, Mario Airy has limited Kobe Bryant well in the first two games, but in this game, the situation is obviously different.

Kobe Bryant can feel that his state is hot, this heat is different from the past, and it seems that there is some hot overflow.

In the face of Mario Alley's defense, Kobe Bryant directly singled, took two steps, and rushed to the mid-range position to stop, Mario Alley's defense did a good job and chased closely.

Bryant was in the 45° position, and he suddenly had a strong urge.

This is the location! A step-back jumper! I will be able to enter by all means!

This is a strong psychological suggestion, Kobe Bryant has always been a hot-headed, immediately dry character, he got the hint, and shot directly, against Mario Alley's defense a step back, backward jump shot!

The flinch is huge, but the shot is steady!

With a bang, the Great Western Forum Arena has not yet entered the state, the scene is still a little noisy, the crisp sound of wiping the net sounded, the sidelines were stunned, and then there were cheers one after another.

"The game just started, Kobe Bryant scored directly with a step-back jumper, Mario Alley's defense was fine, but Kobe Bryant just scored! Pretty! ”

Greg Popovich frowned, Rao was slow to react, and now he also noticed the difference in this Lakers team.

The Lakers actually let Kobe Bryant come to a single shot in the opening game and also threw a step-back jumper, which is obviously problematic.

Although the Lakers' tactics are triangular offense, the offensive end relies on star singles, but the star's singles have not yet reached this point at will, and Kobe Bryant's singles at the beginning may have represented a change in the Lakers' tactics.

Popovich was alert to the Spurs' offense on the field.

Avery Johnson possesses the ball and Fisher marks it.

Soon, Duncan pulled to the high post, and the Spurs gave the ball to Duncan again, Duncan singled with the ball, turned and shot, played the board at 45 degrees, and bang, the basket grazed out of the basket, and it didn't go in.

Scott Pippen shouted, "Rebound!" ”

O'Neal stuck directly inside and grabbed the rebound.

Pippen doesn't want rebounds, even if he doesn't shout rebounds, O'Neal will try his best to grab rebounds, what he means by shouting rebounds is that after grabbing the rebounds, quickly give him the ball, he is going to push the fast attack!

O'Neal was well aware of this, grabbed the rebound, and immediately passed the ball.

Pippen catches the ball and turns to counter-attack.

Kobe Bryant rushed to the front, and after half court, he quickly received a pass from Pippen, received the ball in three steps and two steps and rushed to the basket, no one defended, and with a bang, it was directly a violent dunk!

scored 4 points in a row, and the Great Western Forum Arena also found its state, cheering wildly!

Kobe Bryant threw his arm and celebrated his opening strength!

On the sidelines, Byron Scott, who had been worried and worried, also jumped excitedly and hugged Qiao Hai, Kobe Bryant's state looked great, and Qiao Hai's tactical change seemed to be successful.

The Lakers played well at the beginning, leading 4-0 directly.

And only Qiao Hai knows that this is just the beginning!
