The Wizards had a bad start, and head coach Eddie Jordan was also a little slow in making adjustments. This is also a common problem among most practical coaches (players turned coaches). They have a clear gap in tactical knowledge compared to academic coaches, and they have some single-threaded thinking.

Whether it was pre-game preparation, tactical training or on-the-spot planning, Eddie Jordan has not made any adjustments to the formation, hoping that Jamison can suppress Barnes.

Jamison, known as the "scoring machine", is one of the most low-key inside scorers in the league. Within the three-point line, he can choose to shoot with the ball or take a screen shot. Outside the three-point line, Jamison's shooting percentage

It's not comparable to the top shooters, but it's still qualified. No one will let Jamison shoot three-pointers. When the big players are playing against the small ones, Jamison also has the ability to score from behind.

He used his wide body to block Barnes, followed up with a lateral move, and Jamison shot with a small hook, making an accurate hit.

Barnes can't guard Jamison, but when it comes to the offensive end, he stands in the corner smoking, and it's enough to get Jamison to pull him out and hand him an ashtray. Haywood can't come out on the defensive end, and the Lakers are outside the penalty area.

It was 4 on 3. Kobe beat Larry Hughes with his back and hit a jumper. (9:4)

In a regular season in 2000, Jamison, who represented the Warriors, made 21 of 29 shots against the Lakers and scored 51 points, 13 rebounds and 5 assists, while Kobe shot 18 of 35 and scored 51 points and 7 assists.

With 8 rebounds and 8 assists, the two of them matched up to 50 points. In the end, Jamison led the Warriors to overturn the Lakers, led by OK, 125:122.

This game seems to be going through the same process. The Wizards' most obvious advantage lies in the matchup between Jamison and Barnes. On the Lakers' side, Kobe used the space created by the small lineup to score without mercy.

The two people competed back and forth, sparks flying. By the end of the first quarter, Kobe scored 15 points and Aldridge scored 12 points. The score between the two teams in the first quarter was 33:27, with the Lakers leading by 6 points.

.

The situation of the game changed from a disadvantage at the beginning to a balance. Eddie Jordan secretly breathed a sigh of relief and strongly encouraged the players.

"Guys, you did a great job. The Lakers tried to use a small lineup to increase their offensive firepower, and achieved good results. But you resisted, and we did a good job on the offensive end. The current point difference is not big.

They are fighting back-to-back and are at a physical disadvantage. You must continue to be aggressive in the next game and don't give the opponent a chance to relax! If you stick to it, we can win!"

The Wizards' lineup is slightly thicker than that of the Lakers. The rotation of Blake, Larry Hughes, Dixon, Kwame Brown, and Edon Thomas is relatively capable in the league.

The Wizards had a stronger rotation, and Ke Yan chose to adjust the rotation to deal with it, allowing Kobe and Butler to continue playing in the second quarter, paired with Vujacic, Brian Cook and Brian Grant.

The two fixed-point forts of Vujacic and Cook were set outside the three-point line to contain the Wizards' outside defense. Kobe played more of a containment role on the offensive end, focusing mainly on strangling Larry Hughes on the defensive end. The Lakers

The main point of attack at this stage is Caron Butler.

Facing Dixon, who was inferior to him in height, weight and strength, Butler made consecutive shots and led the team to a 9:2 round, widening the point difference to double digits.

Originally thinking of using the advantage of the team's bench to tie or even overtake, unexpectedly, Ke Yan did not follow martial ethics and the main lineup continued to work. In addition, Larry Hughes, his main offensive point, was stubborn and Kobe missed consecutive singles, causing the team to fall into a trap.

Great passivity! Eddie Jordan called a timeout in time, adjusted the lineup, and replaced Arenas.

Blake, who was substituted, looked a little lonely. With Arenas on his head and the head coach's basketball philosophy not suitable for him, Blake's current situation is really not good!

The Wizards replaced Arenas to strengthen their offense, while the Lakers "stepped back", replaced Kobe, and replaced Atkins.

This period is the most difficult moment for the Lakers. Atkins came on the scene and also brought the defensive arrangement of the head coach. Arenas and Larry Hughes, whoever is flanking the other, can move in the air appropriately.

Kwame Brown is outside the three-second zone. If Brown gets the ball in the three-second zone, he will definitely foul and send him to the free throw line!

Counting on the backcourt combination of Atkins and Vujacic to defend Arenas and Larry Hughes is tantamount to hitting an egg with an egg against a rock. Ke Yan's strategy can only slow down the Wizards' offense through this somewhat "extreme" tactic.

The edge allowed the main players to get more rest time. He also took advantage of the fact that Kwame Brown's free throw shooting rate was only 56%.

If Eddie Jordan replaced Jamison at this time and worked hard to even out the score difference, Ke Yan would have nothing to do no matter how good he was! But Eddie Jordan was conservative at this time and allowed Ke Yan's strategy to take shape.

The Lakers sought rest time for their main players by sending the opponent to the free throw line. Arenas and Kwame Brown made 6 of 10 free throws, narrowing the point difference to 9 points and entering the official timeout.

After returning from the timeout, the Lakers' main lineup returned to the court, and it was still the "strange formation" that opened the game.

Eddie Jordan insisted on staying the same in the face of changes, leaving Haywood on the court.

The Lakers' offense outside the penalty area always occupies a numerical advantage. At the same time, compared to the first quarter, Ke Yan made adjustments on the defensive end. Odom assisted more in defending and attacking, limiting the Wizards' outside offense and leaving open space.

Heywood.

Ke Yan's further adjustments amplified the team's mobility advantage, effectively limiting the Wizards' outside offense. Although Haywood can find opportunities from time to time to score at the basket, his output cannot completely offset the Wizards' outside attack.

The Lakers' offensive efficiency decreased under pressure.

What's even more terrible is that he is completely useless on the defensive end. If a player with a weak offensive effect loses his effect on the defensive end, it can be said that he has completely lost his value in the game!

Eddie Jordan was unable to cope with the changes in the Lakers. He wanted to replace Haywood, but he was afraid of losing control of the defense in the penalty area. After all, the Wizards did not seem to follow the Lakers in playing one big and four small.

The point difference quickly widened due to Eddie Jordan's hesitation. At halftime, the Lakers already led by 23 points, basically establishing a winning streak!

At halftime, Warner's commentator Wilson also commented on the game: "The Lakers' small lineup made it very difficult for the Wizards to cope. What made Wizards fans more desperate than the 23-point difference was Eddie Jordan.

It seems that there is no way to deal with it. There seems to be no obstacle for Kimi to win two consecutive victories since taking office. I wonder if the Lakers management regrets not letting Kimi fill in as soon as Rudy was absent. Before the Lakers

Can win one more game."

Ke Yan is still with the Lakers, and Jerry Buss' "small mistake" at least has a chance to make up for it. The one who should regret it more should be the Eagles management. If they didn't worry about Stotts' face, if they didn't mind Ke Yan's age, if they could

If you are bolder, maybe the hope brought by Ke Yan belongs to the Eagles.

In the second half, Eddie Jordan finally made a change, removing Haywood and putting Dixon into the lineup to keep up with the Lakers' senior and fourth juniors.

This change came a bit slowly, and the effect was not very good. Jamison is actually not suitable for guarding the penalty area alone. His defense is not very good, and Eddie Jordan did not do any targeted protection for him, which amplified his

Not to mention his weaknesses, they also affected his offense.

The Lakers pursued the victory and further widened the point difference. By the end of the third quarter, the point difference had widened to 30+, and many fans at the Wizards' home court had already left the game early.

The overall situation was decided, and Ke Yan withdrew all the main players in the fourth quarter. Kobe, who scored 37 points in the three quarters, was very satisfied with the data and was happy to sit on the bench in the fourth quarter to watch his teammates' performances, even while chatting with them.

, showing a long-lost smile, which has not been seen in the past two seasons.

116:92, the Lakers won a big away game!

When the final whistle sounded, Ke Yan took the initiative to walk towards Eddie Jordan, hugged and greeted him, and then ran back to the visiting team's locker room with joy.
