Chapter 117 116. Tianwangshan breaks out! Triple-double in the finals?

At 7 p.m., the two teams announced their starting lineups.

The Nets' starting five are still the same: Kidd, Kidders, Wei Xu, Kenyon Martin, and Jason Collins.

The Lakers' starting five: Fisher, Kobe Bryant, Fox, Robert Horry, and "Shaq" O'Neal.

Jackson Jackson replaced Fox back into the starting lineup.

It would be embarrassing for Devin George to play as the starter. His offense is limited when playing next to the "OK combination". Not only is he not efficient as a substitute, but no one in the Lakers' second team can stand up to score, and all the pressure is on the starter.

In order to balance the two lineups, Jackson finally put Fox back in the starting lineup, hoping that he could get out of the slump in this game and play a good game.

The young and energetic Collins won the jump ball in the middle circle, and the much-anticipated "Tianwang Mountain" officially started.

The Lakers are already familiar with the Nets' offensive routines. The players retreated quickly. Wei Xu failed to make his signature fast break in the opening game.

Wei Xu didn't waste any time and started running with Kobe at halftime.

Don't worry about whether you can run out of opportunities. Run first and then talk about it. At the worst, it will consume Kobe's physical strength. In the end, it is the Nets who will benefit.

He first slipped to the baseline, then ran to the top of the key, and after receiving the ball at a 45-degree angle on the left side, he missed a mid-range shot.

He faked a move and failed to shake off Kobe. He made a move with the ball and broke through, attracting Robert Horry to help defend. He found an opening and passed the ball to Kenyon Martin, who was cutting on the weak side.

Kenyon Martin caught the ball and hit the basket, facing "Shark" O'Neal's defense in the penalty area and hitting a layup. 2-0.

"Roar!"

After landing, Martin let out a roar. The ball was so strong that O'Neal hit it very hard. He is worthy of being the new generation's bestiality champion.

When the Lakers attacked, Kobe faced Kidd in a one-on-one challenge. When he turned around from behind, he found that there was suddenly another person in front of him. Kidders, who was rushing towards him from the weak side, joined forces to double-team him.

Kobe passed the ball to O'Neal under the basket. Jason Collins couldn't resist him, but he was able to hold him back and force his teammates to help defend him.

O'Neal made a move and was about to hit him from behind when he saw Kenyon Martin rushing toward him.

Ou, who has a very high golf quotient, did not play blindly, and quickly passed the ball to Robert Horry, who was left open in the bottom corner.

Horry caught the ball in the right corner and missed an open jump shot from outside the three-point line. The rebound was grabbed by Wei Xu.

Robert Horry's three-point shooting percentage in the regular season was as high as 37.4%. However, in this round of finals, except for one breakout in G2, his performance in several other games was average, and his three-point shooting percentage dropped to 29.6%.

Not as efficient as the regular season.

In the Nets position battle, Kidd still picks and rolls with Collins at the top of the arc, and Wei Xu runs to the top of the arc with the help of Kenyon Martin's screen from the wing.

This time Robert Horry did not hesitate when assisting on defense. Wei Xu could not run out of space and pass the ball.

Seeing this, Kidd did not choose to pass the ball. After the pick-and-roll, he went to the left to break through. He played "Old Fish" Fisher one-on-one and made a front-on layup that missed the basket due to interference.

O'Neal grabbed a backcourt rebound and the Lakers fell into position.

The Lakers have O'Neal, a fat man who weighs nearly 300 pounds, who cannot counterattack. These old guys in the starting lineup are not good at fast breaks. Their strength is in positional warfare and triangle offense.

Wei Xu didn't put much pressure on Fisher on the defensive end. This was really a good job, as his energy loss slowed down.

Even if he occasionally lets Fisher shoot, it doesn't matter. Fisher shot three-pointers very hard in this series, and Wei Xu can double-team Kobe more boldly.

Fisher lobbed the ball to O'Neal in the penalty area after halftime. As soon as O'Neal was about to turn around, the basketball in his hand was cut off by Kidd, who came to help defend from the weak side.

O'Neal hurriedly lowered his center of gravity to pick up the ball, but Kidd was faster than him and took the ball first and passed it to Wei Xu who was fast-breaking in the frontcourt.

Wei Xu rolled over the entire court with the speed of a cheetah. Facing the unguarded basket, Wei Xu spread his wings and slammed the ball into the basket with one hand!

"boom!"

4 to 0.

This dunk instantly set off the entire audience. Nets fans stood up and cheered wildly. The cheers were deafening, pushing the atmosphere to its peak.

In the next few minutes, the two teams' high-intensity defense made it difficult for the other side to score, and the game fell into a stalemate for a while.

It wasn't until two minutes later that the Lakers relied on "Shark" O'Neal to score from the basket and finally scored the first sports goal of the game.

Jackson Jackson was also forced to perform the famous stunt of the Eight-Crown coach tonight: using the main force to death!

"OK Combination" didn't take a break in the first quarter and played all 12 minutes.

In the first quarter, O'Neal made 3 of 5 shots, 2 of 4 free throws, and scored 8 points, 4 rebounds, and 1 block. He was already out of breath from exhaustion when he was replaced.

Kobe's touch was slightly worse, making only 3 of 9 shots and scoring 7 points, 2 rebounds and 1 steal.

Wei Xu was in good offensive form tonight. He made 5 of 8 shots in a single quarter, 1 of 1 three-pointers, and 2 of 2 free throws. He scored 13 points, 3 rebounds, and 2 assists, leading his team to firmly control the game.

The Nets' overall shooting percentage is not high. Fortunately, Wei Xutian came to earth and supported the team by himself.

At the end of the first quarter, 26 to 21, the Nets led by 5 points.

In the second quarter, Wei Xu still did not take a break. He continued to play for 12 minutes in the first quarter and was ready to play the entire game.

Kobe can't do it without taking a rest. Not only does he consume physical energy on the offensive end, but he is also very tired defending Wei Xu. He will definitely collapse after playing 48 minutes.

Not to mention O'Neal, if he can hold on for 40 minutes, he is determined, and he will be scrapped immediately tonight.

Jackson Jackson had no choice but to arrange Devin George on the bench to face Wei Xu.

As a result, George was outplayed by Wei Xu in this quarter. His one-on-one physical fitness was seriously compromised, and he couldn't keep up with the speed of the first step, making it very difficult to defend.

He is 2.03 meters tall and weighs 100 kilograms. If necessary, he can even withstand the opponent's back attack from the fourth position. George is very strong, but his speed is his weakness, and he cannot get close to Wei Xu at all.

When Wei Xu catches the ball and relies on George to break through to the basket, it's an opportunity. He is fast and can always create opportunities for pull-up jump shots.

Devin George is also troubled by the frequent layups. Maybe this is fate. People named George are usually reduced to background boards.

When Kobe came back, Wei Xu immediately changed his playing style.

No longer one-on-one with the ball, but mainly attracting defense, and only taking action by yourself until a good opportunity comes up.

His purpose is to wear down Kobe until the fourth quarter when his physical advantage is most obvious.

Wei Xu sent out consecutive assists in the second half of the second quarter. He didn't score much, but he successfully led his teammates.

He used different playing styles against Devin George and Kobe, and the results were unexpectedly good.

At halftime, 57 to 42, the Nets entered the second half with a 15-point lead.

Wei Xu played 24 minutes in the half and scored 22 points, 7 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 steals. He is expected to score a triple-double in the finals.
