In the first quarter, the two sides attacked, and no one could defend against anyone, and the Lakers led 34-30.

Randolph made 5-of-8 shooting, scored 10 points, 4 rebounds and 1 assist, and was the first contributor to the Warriors.

The Lakers' best performance was Yao Ming, who shot 5-of-8 and 2-of-2 from the free-throw line, scoring 12 points, 3 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 block. He drew the pack in the second half and assisted on Posey and Iguodala hitting three-pointers.

Iguodala's performance was also eye-catching, with 9 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist in a single quarter; With the addition of Louis Williams, who scored 8 points, the Lakers are still a trident on the offensive end.

In the second quarter, both sides came off the bench, and the Lakers immediately took the initiative, with Brooks and Gibson forming a double guard, and Dundee Jones, Landry, and Odom in the frontcourt.

This lineup is good at fast breaking, as long as the Warriors players miss, at least three people immediately go fast, and Odom is responsible for grabbing rebounds and passes.

Dundee Jones' shooting has improved this season, but the fast break is his forte, rushing faster than Kobe, receiving a pass from Brooks, and performing a shocking windmill dunk.

Defensively, Dundee Jones was also able to play a role, limiting the physically strong Margety. He is active defensively and not afraid of confrontation, so Yang Rui chose to reuse him instead of James Jones.

In Yang Rui's previous life, Deng Tai Jones was not only brave, but also made a bad move, and in the 09 Western Conference Finals, he broke through Kobe Bryant with black feet; In 13, the Lakers challenged the Hawks away, and when Kobe Bryant performed the final blow, he dropped his black foot again; Later on the Cavaliers, he also took Stephen Curry.

The Lakers can also guarantee scoring efficiency in positional battles, with Odom luring Turiaf out of the basket, and a defender breaking through or Landry cutting in the air can give the Warriors a headache.

The Warriors had a flawed roster and didn't have a good bench at the No. 4 position, and they brought in swingman Margetty to step up the offense and let go of interior Al Harrington. Harrington has too many jump shots, and it's a bit wasteful to play expensive benches, but without Harrington, 07 second-round rookie Gemalio Davidson is not qualified at all, and it doesn't work on both offensive and defensive ends.

Seeing that the point difference widened to double digits, Hornacek made adjustments, brought Richardson back early, and let Margeti play in the No. 4 position, preventing blocking and dismantling, and fighting for small ball tactics.

Six minutes later, Yang Rui adjusted and replaced Lu Wei to play a two-guard to speed up the offensive tempo, and the Warriors' backup scoring guard Anthony Morrow became a defensive weakness.

Morrow played 22.6 minutes in the regular season, averaging 10.1 points, 3 rebounds and 1.2 assists per game, shooting 47.8% from the field and 46.7% from three-point range, contributing to the Warriors' playoff and ranking first in the league in three-point shooting percentage.

The reason why he lost the selection was because the defense was too poor, and it was difficult to defend Luwe and Brooks from breaking through, and after the game, the Warriors' three-point shooting would deteriorate again.

The difference in this quarter widened, and the two teams continued to fight for offense in the second half, and the Lakers controlled the situation steadily.

Experts were shocked that the Lakers' overall offense was not weakened by Kobe's absence, but stronger, scoring 100 points in the third quarter and leading 100-82.

Yang Rui's tactics were adjusted according to the Warriors' lineup.

When Hornacek sends Richardson, Azubuuk, and Margeti on the court, Yang Rui will let Iguodala, Posey, and Dundejen Jones, the three swingmen, be responsible for defending and opposing them, and the offensive focus will be on the inside, and the Yao list will be played.

Once the Warriors send two guards Conley, CJ Watson, or Morrow, who is poor in confrontation and average physical fitness, Yang Rui will send two guards Lu Wei and Xiaobu to counterattack at full speed and block and dismantle positional battles. Even if the counterattack can't overpower the opponent, the combination of inside and outside the positional battle can also score.

In the last quarter, Randolph went to rest, and Yang Rui arranged for Brooks and Yao Ming to block and attack Lopez, and Xiaobu passed Lopez over and over again, which damaged the self-confidence of the rookie big man. Conley chased Xiaobu with all his might, the ball passed to the middle, Yao Ming could catch the ball and shoot three points, Lopez missed the other, and it was too late to save to interfere with the shot.

Five minutes later, the two sides were separated by 26 points and entered garbage time.

Yang Rui replaced all the main players, worked out the newcomers in garbage time, put DJ White and Landry on the field, and James Jones, Dundee Jones, and Brooks on the periphery.

The Warriors also switched to a full bench and couldn't take advantage of anything.

In the end, the Lakers won 131-101 and won a big win to get the playoffs off to a good start.

Brooks was the Lakers' top scorer, with a hot hand, playing 34 minutes, shooting 13-of-20 from the field, 3-of-6 from three-point range, 4-of-4 from the free-throw line, and finishing with 33 points, 2 rebounds, 5 assists and 1 steal.

Iguodala finished with 28 points, three rebounds and four assists on 10-of-18 shooting, 2-of-5 three-pointers and 6-of-8 free throws.

Yao Ming dropped in the second half, shooting 9-of-17, 1-of-4 three-pointers, and 7-of-7 free throws, scoring 26 points, 13 rebounds, 7 assists and 2 blocks.

In addition, the three of Loewe, Odom, and Dundee Jones also scored double-doubles and all shot highly.

Millsap didn't play well against Randolph in the first game, with most of his focus on the defensive end, but the team has a lot of points, and it doesn't matter if he doesn't score much.

Zhang Li was a little incredulous: "Kobe Bryant didn't play, the Lakers still have an offensive trident, and the role players are too good." ”

Yu Jia said: "When Kobe Bryant was here, he and Yao Ming scored more points, and four of the team's four scored double-doubles in the regular season, and the two guards did nothing, and now the Lakers' two small guards play like All-Stars." ”

At the press conference, Hornacek congratulated Yang Rui and calmly faced the defeat. "We've just finished rebuilding this season, it's been a success to finish seventh in the West, we have a lot of young players, we don't have playoff experience, and there's no shame in losing to the Lakers, who have made it to the Finals four years in a row."

The reporter asked: "What do you think is the most important aspect of the team that needs to be strengthened?" ”

"The most important thing is to strengthen the defense, but it's not an easy task." Hornacek smiled wryly.

The Warriors have a terrible defense, averaging 108.6 points per game this season, ranking third in the league, and conceding 107.5 points per game to win by 1.1 points. The only person on the team who is good at defending is Turiaf, and unless he brings in in in in the summer, there is really no way to solve it.

The reporter interviewed Yang Rui and asked: "The Lakers won the first game, but they lack the star of the house, will you have a lot of pressure?" ”

Yang Rui said confidently: "The pressure is definitely the opponent's, my team never thinks about whether the first round can be promoted, and the first round is usually a sweep." Jeff and I are very good friends, it's not that I don't give him face, the reality is so cruel. I've never missed the Western Conference Finals, and when the Western Conference Finals come, you'll ask me if I'm under pressure. ”

Another reporter asked, "So what do you think Kobe's absence will have on the Lakers?" ”

"There will definitely be an impact, what it is, leave it to the fans and basketball experts to say, what I want to do now is to lead the team to win the championship." Yang Rui smiled.

Yang Rui will give Kobe Bryant some due punishment, but he will not fall into the ground. Now that Kobe Bryant is resting, he doesn't need to say bad things about him in front of the media, it is hurting others and not benefiting himself.

As for the future when someone lists Kobe's data, or there is no data on the Lakers players after Kobe, causing a scolding war on the Internet, it is none of Yang Rui's business. He can not hack Kobe, but he can't stop Kobe from being hacked, because it's too easy.

Who wouldn't know column data? It's not difficult at all, or why would someone always use "low-level" to describe Kehei?

After reading the data, I came up with all kinds of tricks to wash the floor for idols, and one thing was terrible, which could be explained as the kind of talent "advanced" who "took advantage of the short", they not only had to fight the enemy, but also hypnotized themselves......

In any case, the current Lakers are still strong.
