Magic: Ryan Anderson, Brandon Buss, Michael Pitrus, Vince Carter and Wu Feng; and Lakers: Lamar Odom, Theo Ratliff, Matt Barnes, Kobe and Steve Blake.

…………

In the first quarter, both teams seemed to be more obsessed with offense, but obviously the Magic did better off offense, and they also did the defense well.

The Lakers' offense is very monotonous. Except for Paul Gasol, only Kobe has a better shooting percentage on the outside.

However, under Michael Pitrus' assisted defense, Kobe did not have many shots. After the timeout, he made a mid-range jump shot and a three-pointer, in the next two minutes, Kobe just relied on free throws to score 2 points, and all the other three shots missed.

With one minute and one eleven seconds left in the first quarter, the Lakers trailed the Magic by 9 points 21:30. Before the first quarter, the Magic opened such a big gap, and Phil Jackson's face was a little gloomy.

Phil Jackson called another timeout helplessly, preparing to adjust his tactics.

However, today the Lakers' overall performance in the interior was not very good. Except for the fairy-san, the other inside players did not perform very well.

During this timeout, the Magic made some adjustments to the lineup. Nazel Mohamed replaced Ryan Anderson, and Gerald Wallace replaced JJ Redick. The two players who came out of the field performed well just now. The reason why Stan Van Gundy replaced them was to give them enough rest time to ensure that the entire game had enough impact.

The Magic's substitutions did not have a big impact on their offense, and with Gerald Wallace on the court, Stan Van Gundy naturally had nothing to worry about.

‘Peter Peter’ Kobe is now feeling a lot. He didn’t expect his team to fall behind so much before the first quarter was over.

He also knew in his heart that he would change his previous playing style and blindly look for three-point opportunities on the outside, which now seems unlikely.

Before, Wu Feng's close-fitting defense was like a maggot with bones. As soon as the ball came to his hands, he immediately appeared beside him, leaving no gap for him.

He had to sigh that this guy who was a teenager younger than him had such strong defensive ability.

However, Kobe is not the kind of player who will easily admit defeat. On the contrary, he is the kind of player who is very strong in winning, and his emotions are easily affected.

At present, Kobe is confident that he can break through Wu Feng's defense, but this requires a lot of physical energy.

The ball was quickly handed to Lamar Odom's hand. Lamar Odom dribbled with his right hand, focusing his strength on his left shoulder, constantly pressing against Nazel Mohamed behind him, and approaching the basket step by step. Facing Lamar Odom's strong hit, Nazel Mohamed's performance in the confrontation was very tenacious, firmly guarding the small area under the basket.

Seeing the time pass by little by little, Lamar Odom knew that if this continues, he might not be able to get a bargain. Taking advantage of the opportunity to exert force, the ball quickly handed over to the outside line.

The opportunity that finally appeared was naturally not missed. The moment the ball was received, the person had jumped up quickly. The ball stayed in his hand for a very short time and flew out from his fingers.

After landing, Kobe breathed a sigh of relief. In the past few minutes of the game, he saw the opponent tie the score and overtake, and the scores of both sides became bigger and bigger, but he was unable to succeed on the outside. He felt very frustrated. This goal greatly exclaimed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Kobe scored a three-pointer, allowing the Lakers to narrow the gap to 6 points. Now the score on both sides is 24:30.

There are thirty-eight seconds left before the end of the first quarter, and the Magic's ball rights.

The Magic's offense is very smooth and beautiful, and the defense is also very good. The players on the court can play a role. The multi-point bloom makes it difficult for the opponent to defend. The Lakers can only rely on Kobe's score to bite the score tightly, and finally end the first quarter with a score of 26:33.

However, with Kobe Kobe in the Lakers, Paul Gasol, the league's leading power forward, and the West's No. 1 center Andrew Bynum, the team naturally has hope of winning.

Phil Jackson is thinking about this now. During the game's timeout, he also gave orders to several other main players. He must play more aggressively in the game, not only in offense but also in defense.

Some balls that are really unprepared cannot be easily prevented, even if they adopt foul tactics, they cannot easily make the Magic team succeed. However, since they are going to foul, they must be more ruthless and ensure that the opponent cannot be played 2+1. In this case, the Magic team's scorers will also be very worried when shooting.
