Chapter 608 Fighting the Bucks Again
The combination of Antetokounmpo + Middleton + Holiday is also an Eastern combination worth looking forward to.
Compared with Bledsoe, Holiday is obviously more comprehensive, and his defense is also very good.
The only regret is that the Bucks failed to reach a deal about Bogdanovic and missed the opportunity to strengthen the perimeter.
But judging from Holiday's deal, the Bucks' attitude is still very firm. They just want to keep Antetokounmpo and let him lead the team to win the championship. The team will bring him enough help.
Coincidentally, the three opponents the Lakers encountered at the beginning happened to be the most sensational teams in the off-season.
The first game against the Lakers was the Oklahoma City Thunder.
In this game, the Lakers still sit at home.
Before the start of this game, Kobe still failed to find the reason why the Lakers lost to the Pelicans.
However, after the lessons learned in the last game, the Lakers' execution of tactics is quite firm.
The Lakers' Thunder game was much more intense than the fans imagined.
The Lakers obviously want to seize the opportunity of the opponent's weakness and try as many changes that can be derived from the inverted triangle tactics as possible. This gives the Thunder a chance and keeps the Thunder clinging to the score.
Alexander, who fought alone, was extremely brave. At the end of the first half, he scored 15 points alone, helping the Thunder to be only 4 points behind the favorite Lakers.
Therefore, the Lakers are often questioned by fans.
Facing a weak Western team like the Thunder, the Lakers struggled with their opponents.
If the Lakers continue like this, how can fans believe that the Lakers can beat the Nuggets, Clippers, Heat, and Bucks in the playoffs to win the championship?
ESPN columnist Walton's prediction of the Lakers' record before the game has completely become a joke at this time.
Let the Lakers continue to play like this, let alone 54 wins, I am afraid it will be 40 wins, which is a bit hanging!
However, in the third game, the Lakers players seemed to slowly find the feeling of an inverted triangle in the failed cooperation.
McGee was able to complete inside connections with Davis frequently.
Schroeder and Bo Yang, who have rarely cooperated in the past, suddenly have a tacit understanding!
The Lakers' smooth operation instantly beat the Thunder 16-0.
The Lakers broke out this wave, and the fans in the audience were stunned.
"Hey, what's going on here? Didn't the Lakers still have a [-]-[-] split with the Thunder just now, why did they suddenly start beating the Thunder all of a sudden?"
"Could it be that the Lakers have always been pretending to be pigs and eating tigers?"
"I don't feel like it. The Lakers' cooperation in the second half seems to have a lot of tacit understanding. This season, I have rarely seen Schroeder and Ge Feng's singles. Maybe the Lakers can find a better way to win."
"..."
In the third quarter, the Lakers suddenly broke out and after a wave of 16-0, the Thunder gave up their resistance.
Anyway, the Thunder's goal is to be bad and lose the No. [-] pick.
In the first half, they had played well enough against the Lakers, and the fans could forgive the Thunder for losing.
In the second half, after the Thunder suffered a wave of defeat, neither the coaching staff nor the players had much desire to chase points.
As a result, the Lakers won the game easily in the last quarter, beating Oklahoma 104-90 at home.
The victory of this game is of great significance to the Lakers.
Not only because of winning this game, the Lakers will not end up in the embarrassing situation of the opening two-game losing streak, but also because through this game, the Lakers have found the magical place of the inverted triangle tactic.
When the calls started between McGee and Davis, Schroeder and Bojan, the tactic began to infinitely approach perfection.
The next day, the Lakers continued to sit at home and ushered in a game against the Bucks.
The Bucks have just formed the Big Three, and the combination of Holiday + Antetokounmpo + Middleton is highly anticipated.
Without further ado, the game started directly.
In the first quarter of the game, Antetokounmpo showed his determination to win in the new season.
This stubborn man, after all, did not follow James and embark on the old path of brother basketball.
He failed year after year, but stood up year after year.
At the beginning of the game, Antetokounmpo took three steps directly within one step of the three-point line, and against Ge Feng's defense, he made a tough dunk.
This slam dunk shocked everyone.
Ge Feng felt a little appalled.
The Greek Beast has evolved again!
It seems that this season, the old club Raptors, it is impossible to hold down this Greek beast comparable to LeBron!
The Bucks started with a stunning dunk, and the Lakers' desire to win was immediately aroused by Antetokounmpo.
Ge Feng holds the ball to the top of the arc.
In this round, the initiator of the inverted triangle changed from McGee to Ge Feng, and Schroeder and Davis began to get stuck in the key positions of the inverted triangle with the cooperation of their teammates.
Antetokounmpo mainly defends Ge Feng. In this game, Antetokounmpo will face Ge Feng face to face and compete directly.
Fans at Staples Arena screamed.
King against king is always the hottest moment on the field.
Antetokounmpo's defensive legs are wide open, and his legs with explosive muscles are enough to resist any breakthrough layup by Ge Feng.
However, Ge Feng was not prepared to confront Brother Antetokounmpo.
After forcing Antetokounmpo back in one step with three threats, Ge Feng dragged himself to the starting point of the inverted triangle attack.
Davis stuck his opponent behind him at this time.
Ge Feng pretended to pass the ball to Davis, but in fact he made a fake fax shot, and suddenly accelerated a step, passing Antetokounmpo.
Brother Antetokounmpo was shaken by a fake move, and immediately stood still, giving Ge Feng a physical confrontation.
As soon as Ge Feng and Brother Antetokounmpo came into contact, they immediately separated, and at the same time, with the help of Brother Antetokounmpo, they leaned back and shot.
"Shh."
After Antetokounmpo dunked one, Ge Feng responded very positively and directly responded to Antetokounmpo with a goal.
There were screams from fans everywhere.
The duel between Ge Feng and Antetokounmpo is the collision of skills and talents that fans like to see most.
Both sides played very tough in the first quarter.
Brother Antetokounmpo and Ge Feng started a wave of mutual rivalry.
Antetokounmpo made an air cut dunk.
Schroeder assisted Ge Feng and scored a perfect 2+1.
Antetokounmpo is using the pick-and-roll and hits a mid-range jumper.
Ge Feng rushed to the inside with Xingyi footsteps, made a fake move to fly Lopez, jumped up and dunked with both hands...
The fans were aroused by the duel between Ge Feng and Antetokounmpo.
However, halfway through the first quarter, the Bucks suddenly broke out.
Holiday succeeded in consecutive long shots, Middleton made a tip-up, and the Bucks played an 8-0 spurt.
Just when the Lakers fans were moaning again and again, Davis stood up again at this time.
Davis faced Lopez and hit 2+1 after consecutive turns, interrupting the rhythm of the Bucks' consecutive three-pointers.
After Davis, sharpshooter Bo Yang stepped forward and hit a crucial three-pointer to help the Lakers continue to bite the difference.
The situation turned around, and the Lakers stabilized the situation.
But for the rest of the first quarter, the Lakers still had obvious tactical problems.
When facing the Bucks with a formed lineup, the Lakers made frequent mistakes in passing the ball, which led to many successful defensive counterattacks by the Bucks.
At the end of the first quarter, the Bucks led the Lakers by 31 points 24 to 7.
