Chapter 286 Finals preview, please support)

The joy of 50 wins for three consecutive seasons lingers in the hearts of Eagles fans. In addition, the team also hopes to reach 60 wins for two consecutive seasons, which is also a unique feat in the history of the Eagles.

Putting aside the early ABA years, the Hawks have long played the role of "study with the prince" in the long history of the NBA. The thing that has the most impact on the championship is the selection of "Lord of the Rings" Bill Russell

, and then was robbed by the Celtics.

"The Essence of Human Movies" Wilkins was Jordan's backdrop in the Slam Dunk Contest, but at that time the Hawks were not even the Bulls' top-five opponents; after he retired, the Hawks were even better for eight consecutive seasons.

Failed to reach the playoffs.

The emergence of Ke Yan reversed the Eagles' long-term decline. The team's status in the NBA was no longer "glorious" and became a powerhouse at "a certain stage"; and they won a championship.

Of course, from the fans' point of view, these are not enough. Fans are always greedy. For example, they hope that the team will win more in the current "winning window" and even create a dynasty.

This may be difficult, but with Keyan in the lineup, Eagles fans are full of confidence.

On March 11, the Hawks went to Los Angeles to challenge the Los Angeles Lakers away from home. This was a focus battle between the first place in the East and the second place in the West. It was not included in the national live broadcast schedule, but because the Lakers got Gasso

Since then, the record has improved by leaps and bounds. TNT and ESPN have added many Lakers broadcasts, and the showdown between the Eagles and Lakers is also among them.

Being called "rob" by Popovich shows how "profitable" the deal between the Lakers and Grizzlies is. Gasol seamlessly connected with the Lakers' lineup and was embedded in the Lakers' offense without any running-in.

In the system, more importantly, the Lakers have more players playing more suitable positions on the court, all of which are activated by Gasol.

If you count the Gasol deal, the Lakers have the best record in the league, even above the Hawks. This is why they have been able to soar all the way to second place in the Western Conference; it is even said that in the eyes of fans now, the Lakers are

More popular than the Spurs, the first team in the Western Conference.

"Beep——"

Soon, the referee, bald Crawford, blew the whistle and the game officially started!

Anderson and Gasol jumped the ball. Both were at a disadvantage in height and wingspan. Even if they bounced better than their opponents, they could not make up for the gap. Gasol won the jump ball and passed it to Radmanovic.

The Lakers got the first wave of offensive possession. Fisher dribbled the ball to the frontcourt and handed the ball to Gasol who was down low.

The Spaniard singled out Anderson, used his footsteps to open up Anderson's defense, and made a steady hit. (2:0)

Looking back, Paul chose singles when facing Fisher.

Fisher took a step forward, trying to limit Paul's speed through confrontation, but the distance between the two was too close. Paul used a large forward change of direction to complete the breakthrough and rushed past Fisher.

He did not challenge Gasol's frame protection, stopped at the free throw line, and hit a mid-range shot. (2:2)

At the turn of the round, the Lakers continued to attack around Gasol. Anderson interfered with the ball well and Gasol failed to score the ball.

The rebound bounced into the hands of Joe Johnson, who quickly advanced with the ball, but the Lakers retreated quickly and he had no chance to hit the inside, so he had to stop the ball.

But just as the ball was stopped, the Lakers were also adjusting the team's defensive formation. Kobe came over to switch defenses with Radmanovic. Unexpectedly, Joe Johnson shot directly from outside the three-point line! The basketball went hollow into the net! (2

:5)

After poor performance in several consecutive games, although Ke Yan has always been supportive, Joe Johnson is also under pressure, and this goal can be regarded as a small "release".

After Joe Johnson hit a three-pointer in front of him, in the next round of offense, Kobe took the initiative to ask for the ball and regain the court.

Battier stood ready in front of him, his muscles all tense, keeping an eye on Kobe's every move. If a detail was not done well, the Black Mamba could deliver a fatal blow!

Compared to Battier who was ready to go, Kobe looked relaxed and leaned down to dribble.

, slowly stepped forward, Battier changed his steps and retreated, constantly making moves, trying to interfere with Kobe's dribbling.

But Kobe protected the ball very steadily. He made a small change of direction, suddenly took a big step to the right, entered the three-point line, and shot!

Battier took off in time to interfere, but Kobe leaned back slightly, raised his arms, and raised the arc. The basketball flew past Battier's fingertips and bounced into the net! (4:5)

After the ball went in, Kobe looked calm and retreated to defend. He has made thousands of pull-up jumpers in his career, and this will not cause the slightest disturbance in his heart.

The game continued on the court. Paul dribbled to the frontcourt and played a high pick-and-roll with Garnett. The latter cut into the basket and attacked the frame against Gasol's defense, causing Gasol to foul.

After landing, Garnett chattered non-stop next to Gasol, which was not a good thing anyway. Gasol's helpless expression could be seen through the camera.

You have to be strong enough to control your opponent's mentality. Garnett made two free throws and then gave Gasol a provocative look. (4:7)

The Lakers wanted to switch offense and defense, but the Hawks were well prepared for Odom's "sudden acceleration" and firmly blocked Odom's advancement.

The Lakers could only fall into a positional battle. Kobe reached out for the ball again, beat Battier in a post-up, and hit his iconic fadeaway jumper. (6:7)

"Hey, Kobe felt good today. He scored 4 points in a row in the opening game. The Eagles had a hard time today!" Zhang Liji said.

The fans at Staples Center were also aroused by Kobe's consecutive scoring. They cheered "mvp" and the entertainment stars on the sidelines also applauded.

They know that they are not the protagonist tonight, but the bald man wearing the No. 24 jersey is.

In this venue, no one can take away his brilliance.

However, the repeated "mvp"s stimulated Paul. As the season progressed, Paul and James gradually fell behind in the competition for mvp. Kobe became the standout. The reason is simple. Paul's influence on the game is not that great.

; and James is subject to the team's performance.

However, in addition to record, data, and media impression points, the evaluation criteria for MVP are also one of the factors. If the Hawks can "double kill" the Lakers in the regular season, at least Paul's average contribution of 2112 per game can be improved.

More people see it!

When the Eagles attacked, Paul gestured for him to single out Fisher, and the other four began to move to create space for him.

Facing Fisher, Paul took small steps that made him unpredictable. His rhythm was unpredictable. He made a large change of direction and accelerated past him. He made a one-step throw from the free throw line, but the ball was short.

At one point, he hit the edge of the basket and bounced out. The rebound was grabbed by Odom.

Odom immediately pushed for a quick counterattack. Kobe held the ball and rushed to the basket. After breaking through to the basket, he encountered Garnett's defense. The layup was disturbed. The basketball missed the frame, but Gasol came in behind.

After grabbing the offensive rebound, he made a put-back dunk. (7:8)

It was a pity to lose four points inside and outside, but Ke Yan still had the attitude of "Don't be overjoyed when winning, don't panic when losing; have thunder in your chest and face as flat as a lake." He knew that with that ball just now, Paul just

He made a mistake when he took the shot, and Fisher had no problem at all in singles.

Sure enough, in the next round of offense, Paul made up for it by hitting a step-back mid-range shot against Fisher (9:8).

When the Lakers attacked, Kobe Bryant received the ball with his back to Battier, turned left, took a step to the right, and took a long two-point shot inside the three-point line. Ignoring Battier's interference, the basketball bounced into the frame. (

9:10)

After the opening, the Eagles' offense and defense were pretty good. However, Kobe was a bit hot today, hitting difficult singles continuously, which was a bit hard to handle!

When the Eagles attacked, Paul passed Fisher in one step and broke through to the inside. Odom came up to cover the defense. Paul passed the ball to Garnett. After receiving the ball, Garnett used very simple but very useful steps.

Shake Gasol away and hit a small hook near the frame. (11:10)

Looking back, Kobe approached Battier again. Kobe still had no one to defend him with the ball outside the penalty area, but this time he chose

Choosing to break through the frame, Kobe encountered the attack of Garnett and Battier. Kobe took a step back to avoid the Eagles' heavily defended penalty area and made a solid fadeaway jumper. (11:12)

Although the Hawks are good at targeting shooting scorers and have two wing players, Battier and Sefolosha, on the wings to deal with Kobe, when a player of Kobe's level can adjust to his best form

, such preparation seems to have average effect.

However, Ke Yan does not intend to change this defensive strategy. Even on the stage of the finals, the Eagles still will not attack Kobe from the outside. He does not believe that Kobe can always be "super".

In addition to shouldering the "main offense" task on the offensive end, Kobe also needs to "bite" Joe Johnson on the defensive end. This is why Kobe can't wipe Fisher's butt. He himself feels even more pressure!

Paul once again broke through Fisher's defense. This time he didn't go up himself, but handed the ball to Anderson, who diverted the defense and passed the ball to the bottom corner. Battier hit a three-pointer! (14:12)

As a big small forward, Radmanovic moves slowly on the defensive end, but he will return to the team's interior from time to time to help defend or protect rebounds. Just now he completely missed Battier.

His offense was almost "super", but the team was still lagging behind. The entire Hawks team fought together, and even Kobe Bryant couldn't withstand it! In the next round of offense, Kobe sought cooperation with Gasol, focusing on

Gasol, who got the ball with his back in the low post, ran around, got behind Gasol, received the pass from the opponent, and forced a fadeaway jumper with Garnett's defense in place!

"Bang!" With this shot, Garnett's defense was already in place. If Kobe had made another difficult hit, Ke Yan would have been unable to do anything!

Paul was constantly changing his rhythm under Fisher's defense, observing the movement of his teammates, and was about to break through to the inside. Suddenly, he passed the ball behind the back with his right hand and threw the basketball towards Battier who was running in the bottom corner.

After receiving the ball, the latter attracted Radmanovic. Battier lowered his body and passed the opponent. He faked a pass and passed the ball to Anderson in the penalty area. The latter also "carried" Gasol up.

Basketball, scoring the ball and causing a foul on Gasol! (16:12)

"He grabbed my arm!" Gasol yelled at the referee.

The foul on Gasol just after the goal was indeed unjust. Anderson circled Gasol's arm and forced him to jump. He was aiming to cause Gasol to foul!

There were also "boos everywhere" at the scene. I don't know if it was for the referee or for Anderson.

Thinking that he had played for Lakers fans at Staples, and that the Lakers had given him the biggest contract of his career, Anderson was more or less disturbed and missed the extra penalty.

Odom grabbed the backboard and immediately launched a quick counterattack, heading straight for the Hawks basket. Unfortunately, his finishing touch was too stiff and he failed to score the ball.

Garnett grabbed the rebound and also wanted to launch a quick counterattack. But his "all-round attributes" require strong athletic ability to support it. After all, it is not five years ago.
