May 31.

With the NBA Finals kicking off, on this day, God seemed to be joking with all the fans.

Because just after the first game of the NBA Finals officially started, the Magic finally defeated the league's top seed Los Angeles Lakers away.

With the only 26.7% championship rate before the game, he won the finals with a good start at the Staples Arena.

It can be said that after the first game of the finals, some people were happy and some were worried. For Magic fans, this is definitely a day worth celebrating.

After all, looking at the entire NBA history, the team that won the first game in the finals had a final winning rate of 78.6%.

Although this data can only be regarded as a big data, it can definitely be regarded as a hope for Magic fans who have basically no hope before.

Because just when local Orlando fans began to discuss how many games the team could survive under the Lakers, the Magic used a game to win, telling people that Orlando’s “Bombing City” cannot be ignored!!

After the first game of the NBA Finals, the bookmaker immediately made changes to the handicap of the second game.

After all, with the Magic winning the finals first, more and more fans are buying the Magic to win in the second game.

So the bookmakers that smelled a little breath made adjustments to the market immediately.

However, the Magic team cannot know these gossip news from the outside world at this moment, because as the team defeated the Lakers first away, the pressure on the Magic team will definitely increase in the next place.

In addition to carrying the hope of Orlando fans, these pressures come from Lakers fans and the heavy pressure from outside media.

And Su Jiu was completely unaware of the news at this moment, otherwise he would have frowned and felt something was wrong.

Because at this moment, everyone on the Magic team has been engaged in endless tactical exercises. Although away games will be subject to many restrictions in team training, this will not affect Van Gundy instill some ideological arrangements into the players.

As for why I feel that something is wrong, because based on Su Jiu's experience of being a human being, once the bookmaker makes too much adjustment to the handicap of a game, it will inevitably enter the league's vision.

This situation will obviously be very unfavorable to the Magic Team, which has a slightly upper hand at this moment. After all, as a business alliance, NBA is calling fairness and justice and openness in its slogans, but if someone really believes it, it is a real fool.

June 1.

Under the attention of all fans, the second game of the NBA Finals officially started at the Staples Arena.

Since at present, except for the Magic and Lakers in the entire NBA league, all other teams are sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai and going home to fish.

So this also leads to whether the remaining fans are Lakers or Magic fans, they will turn their attention to the NBA finals stage at this moment.

Standing in this spotlight that can basically be called the national basketball world, there are definitely great requirements for the players' ability to withstand pressure on the field.

After the first game of the finals, Su Jiu was very excited after the game, but it was still quite natural.

After all, Su Jiu has never seen any big scenes in his two lives, so Su Jiu would not be too happy before the series really ended.

But the team's first big victory in the finals made Courtney Lee, who entered the league in the first year, feel extremely excited.

Even during the rest period, I couldn't sleep until night, and I kept nagging in Su Jiu's ears.

If Van Gundy was not afraid of disturbing other players for rest in the end, and Li Zi opened a room alone for forced behavior, then Su Jiu would probably be tortured to death that night.

After all, Su Jiu was too clear about Li Zi's nagging face. Once this guy catches a little bit of things, the effect in your ears is no less than Tang Seng's tight spell...

Before the game started, players on both sides warmed up shooting in their respective halfs.

Before the game, the Lakers' expressions were quite serious. After all, they are currently temporarily behind with a big score of 0:1, so compared to the Magic of the away game, the Lakers can be said to be under great pressure.

However, even if the team wins the first goal in the finals, the atmosphere on the Magic team is not at all relaxed before the game starts.

Even Iverson, who has always been arrogant, focused on shooting warm-up before the game, and there was no joy and ease on his face after winning.

As the game is about to begin, both sides announced the starting list of this game.

Lakers:

Fisher, Kobe, Ariza, Gasol, and Bynum.

Magic:

Sujiu, Iverson, Petrus, Lewis, and Howard.

In this game, both sides continued the starting lineup of the last game. They had a very tacit understanding between each other and had no lineup adjustments.

After the opening, Howard was the first to win the ball, and once again won the first wave of offense for the Magic after the opening.

Facing Fisher with the ball, Su Jiu no longer had the pressure of playing the game psychologically this time.

Because facing the old fish Fisher, Su Jiu was very sure that he could not defend himself at all, because he was too slower than himself in terms of speed.

However, when Su Jiu held the ball and faced Fisher again, Su Jiu found that Fisher's position when defending himself in this game had a very obvious change from the previous game.

The biggest change is that Fisher, who was defending himself in the game, always stood in a position that was neither far away from him nor close to him.

While ensuring that it can interfere with Su Jiu's shooting at the first time, it can also try to retreat and defend Su Jiu's breakthrough.

However, the facts have proved that this defensive method of trying to catch all three-point breakthroughs makes the old fish Fisher playful.

So after the start of this game, Fisher took the initiative to take the lead and took the initiative to retreat half a step back. It seemed that he mainly wanted to defend Su Jiu and use the breakthrough after pick-and-roll.

This will relax Sujiu's threat beyond the three-point line to a certain extent.

After all, as a traditional coach in the NBA, Zen master Jackson has always believed that the closer to the basket, the higher the shooting rate will be. The problems that can be solved by stars are definitely not relying on others.

So while Fisher was basically beaten by Su Jiusheng in the last game, Zen Master Jackson made a quick decision and immediately made some choices on breakthroughs and three-pointers.

And this choice is actually not difficult for a head coach to make a choice, because when Su Jiu breaks through, he not only has the opportunity to directly attack the basket, but also can find the position of his teammates while moving, thereby giving away a wonderful breakthrough pass.

But if Su Jiu only lets some shots outside the three-point line, then Su Jiu can only transform into a lone hero and lead the team to carry the burden forward with his own strength.

From this point of view, it can be clearly seen that Zen Master Jackson's loss in the last game was classified as the Magic's multiple points of blooming.

So in this game, I planned to cut off the connection between Su Jiu and other teammates from the beginning.

Facing the Lakers' defensive style, Su Jiu did not recklessly start the Ritian as soon as he came up.

On the contrary, he played pick-and-roll with Howard at the high position as usual. With Howard's pick-and-roll, Su Jiu could obviously find that Fisher's position was a little far behind at this time, and he planned to go around the pick-and-roll from behind to try to block Su Jiu's breakthrough route to the inside.

Seeing this situation, Su Jiu was not polite at all. He took advantage of Howard's body to cover him, and then completed a projection outside the three-point line directly behind Howard!!

"Bang!"

As the sound of iron smacking came out, Su Jiu pursed his lips and shook his head as if he was dissatisfied.

Since Howard went to the high position to play pick-and-roll with Su Jiu, after Su Jiu made this ball, Howard did not compete for rebounding positions at all.

In the end, I could only watch the rebound easily by Bynum.

After receiving Bynum's pass, Fisher slowly spent the half with the ball. After all the players completed their positions according to tactics, he directly hung the ball to Kobe in the horn position.

Sure enough, in this game, the Lakers continued their usual triangular offense on the offensive end, and this was indeed not beyond Su Jiu's expectations.

Because of Su Jiu's experience in his two lives, he knew very well that Zen Master Jackson had become obsessed with triangular attacks.

As the saying goes, success is a triangle, defeat is a triangle. At his peak, Jackson used a triangle to attack, which forced Jordan and Kobe to win the championship dynasty.

But in his later years, the coaching experience of Zen Master Jackson in the Knicks period made him almost a disgrace.

This has once again made people question the tactic of triangular offense.

Similarly, after Zen Master Jackson announced that he would no longer coach the NBA team, the triangular offense completely disappeared from the NBA league.

From this point of view, it is not difficult to see that although the triangular offense has inexplicable bonus ability for the stars, its shortcomings are also very obvious.

That is, while infinitely amplifying the star's personal abilities, it will also greatly reduce the contribution of role players on the court.

But, Zen Master Jackson is quite fond of this tactic, so no matter how much he changes his whole person, it is absolutely impossible to change the point of playing triangular offense on the offensive end.

Otherwise, if Jackson could make changes on the offensive end, he would not have had such a stiff relationship with Anthony, the little melon, during the Knicks era.

He will not let himself be defeated at the end of his career. Even if he is the coach with the highest winning rate among all the coaches in the league, this still cannot conceal the fans' doubts about him.

After everyone was pulled apart, Kobe faced Pitrus who was still defending himself closely, but he did not directly complete the game like in the last game.

Instead, he held back Pitrus behind him by using his back, and then used his body to fight and hit some shooting space, and directly took a backward jump shot turning to the left.

Although Petrus already gave Kobe a physical confrontation on the defensive end, he was the most accustomed to Kobe on the offensive end when shooting at this point.

"Swish~"

2:0

With the sound of basketball entering the net, this difficult backward jump shot was hit steadily by Kobe, which won the Lakers' first goal in the game.

With Kobe's shot, the entire Staples Arena instantly burst into a very high celebratory sound wave.

At this moment, all the fans seemed to have taken stimulants and started shouting wildly.

Obviously, the team's defeat in the last game was already converted by Lakers fans to celebrate this game.

After all, if you lose one game first, it will not be a big deal for the Lakers. But if the Lakers face a loss from home again in this game, the Lakers will really be pushed into the abyss.

So when Kobe was the first to score for the team on the field, the fans on the scene felt so excited.

In the next few minutes, both sides started a battle of iron on the court, and most of the Lakers' offensive attacks were initiated by Kobe.

The Magic's defensive strategy is also very obvious. No matter how threat Kobe will be on the offensive end, Van Gundy will never double-team Kobe, but let Pitrus try his best to prevent Kobe from completing his attacks comfortably through close defense.

Once Kobe gets rid of Petrus' defense and goes to the inside, Howard, who is in the basket, will become an insurmountable mountain.

For the Magic, since Iverson's offensive efficiency will be greatly reduced when facing Ariza's personal defense, the Magic's main offensive points were concentrated on Su Jiu, Lewis and Howard in the entire first quarter.
