Chapter 2001: The situation of the crisis, the Lakers are in chaos

Although many people have said that the Lakers are a Big Three team, and many people even think that the Lakers are the dual cores of Ji Feng and Kobe. After all, in terms of on-court performance, statistics and off-court reputation, Ji Feng and Kobe have basically opened up a few Grade, even Gasol had to be eclipsed in front of them, let alone Bynum.
Although after O'Neal retired and Yao was injured and changed his style of play, some people have always said that Bynum is the last fig leaf of the traditional center, and Howard ranks alongside Howard as the top spot among centers in the east and west, but many fans still feel that Bynum is in the Lakers team. The status is not high, even dispensable.
But no one understands Bynum's role for the team better than the Lakers themselves.
Although Bynum has been criticized for a long time, he was ridiculed in high school for his poor physical fitness, slow movement, lack of dominance on the court, many injuries, glass attributes, general offensive methods, etc. This was also when he entered the league at the age of 18. The reason for being undervalued by the drafters is that it stands to reason that a big man like him was definitely rushed by many people at that time. Guys like Bogut can be the number one pick, which is enough to see what the drafters of that period are. How much I like big men.
The Lakers selected him. This is also the ability of the Lakers coaching staff to take a fancy to Bynum. Bynum likes physical contact at the basket and has a tough style. He is a traditional center seedling. Bynum has developed a certain basket offense. Skills, soft shooting touch, know how to use a generous body to create offensive space, huge weight makes him qualified to fight against various centers, no one at the high school level can challenge the penalty area where he is stationed, although Bynum's lateral movement speed is average, Compared with Eddie Curry of the same age, the agility of the footsteps at the basket is not small, and he has not shown extraordinary passing talent.
But that's enough. What else can you ask for a newcomer. The Lakers believed that he could become the next Big Mac in the basket, and they always trusted him even if they were reimbursed.
Although there were some deviations in the development of things later, Bynum did grow well, especially in this era, when the traditional center withered, Bynum's role became more and more precious. Although his scoring ability was still average, he still did not grow up. O'Neal's Big Mac level, but this is exactly what the Lakers need most.
The Lakers don’t need how many points Bynum can score. 15 points per game are still enough. The Lakers have a large group of scoring champions. What the Lakers need is his excellent frame protection ability, ability to block blocks, rebound rebounds, and defense. Bynum matches the season's peak, Kobe Bryant is a defensive player on the outside, and the Lakers' defense is solid. This is the confidence that the Lakers dare to change and play fast.
Bynum is an indispensable part of the Lakers lineup. The Lakers' tactics are basically inseparable from the existence of Bynum. The help that his excellent frame protection ability can bring to the Lakers is visible to the naked eye.
What's more, in the face of the Heat, why did James and Wade cut the gap between breakthrough efficiency? In addition to the outside season peak and Kobe's defensive turn, it is also crucial to stand by Bynum inside the playoffs. Nahm's 2.2 blocks per game speaks for itself.
Apart from anything else, Bynum is on the inside, you just don't make it happen!
Since 2008, the Lakers’ double towers have long dominated various interior rankings. They have one offense and one defense, can attack and defend, can play alone, can help defend, and can also pull out the pick-and-roll. Such an interior combination is also the key to the Lakers’ four consecutive championships. .
Ji Feng has said countless times: "Bynum is our great hero, his role is underestimated, but we are very clear about his importance."
Bynum is also the Lakers' confidence in defeating the Heat, playing positions, and the thin, paper-like inside line is simply unable to fight the Lakers inside line.
But now, Bynum's injury status is unclear, but there is no major problem. This game will definitely not let him return for insurance purposes. This also greatly weakens the Lakers' entire tactical system. Although Jordan Hill and Powell are also Very tough, but their personal abilities and physical fitness are limited after all, and they basically don't have the ability to attack independently, which will affect the entire Lakers' internal play and the circulation of the Lakers team.
"The Lakers are the real challenge now, regardless of whether Wade deliberately, this is the key moment to change the situation on the court." Barkley said in the live broadcast room.
"SHIT, although I think injuries are also part of the game, it is really regrettable. I am also a big man. I understand his pain and hope that Bynum will be fine and return to the game soon." O'Neill said.
In addition to Bynum's instructions and worries, the commentary's remarks are also worries about the situation on the court. The Lakers' advantage is very likely to be reversed by the Heat.
The timeout was over and the Heat came out with all their talents. Although they couldn't see anything from their expressions, their purpose was already obvious. They just wanted to take this opportunity to wipe out the disadvantages.
The Lakers' main players also returned. Bynum was replaced by Jordan Hill. Hill looked solemn. He also knew how much pressure he was under. This made him feel a little bit weak.
Jordan Hill played in the Finals for the first time after all. Before the playoffs, he averaged 8.9 minutes per game, scored 3.5 points and 3.7 rebounds, and shot 54% from the field. His presence can be regarded as a good supplement to the Lakers' inside line, efficiency. It's not bad either.
But at this time, he needs his insider to be the eldest brother. He needs to resist the impact of the Heat on the inside. One can imagine how much pressure he has.
The Heat seem to know that Jordan Hill is the weak point of the Lakers lineup. In the rest of the second quarter, the Heat only shot 2 three-pointers, and all the other points came from the inside. The crazy breakthrough made it a little bit because of injuries to teammates. The flustered Lakers formation was broken, the 8-point advantage was lost in 4 minutes, the Heat played a wave of 15-5 in a short time, UU Reading www. uukanshu.com led by 2 points instead.
Jordan Hill paid three fouls in the second half of the quarter and had to be replaced. Powell played, and the Lakers looked a little stretched inside.
At the end of the first half, James made an ultra-long three-pointer to help the Heat lead a full 7 points 58-51 into the second half. In this quarter, the Heat led by a full 15 points!
This is the two-year finals. The Heat's biggest single-quarter scoring difference against the Lakers is also the first time the Lakers have been overtaken into this situation with an 8-point lead.
The situation is extremely critical!
The Lakers fans fell silent...
The camera lens kept capturing several important Lakers players, especially Ji Feng. Ji Feng didn't play well in the last half of the quarter. He seemed very anxious. In less than 7 minutes, Ji Feng made 10 shots. But only hit 4 goals, including a three-pointer. In this quarter, Ji Feng scored 12 points, but there were 3 turnovers and 2 fouls. The field goal rate also dropped to the bottom, only 48.9% in the first half.
This is the first time in the playoffs of Ji Feng's career that his field goal percentage has dropped below 50%!
