Su Qun: "The Lakers lost by 18 points in the first half and won by 12 points in the second half, which is interesting, and the series of games has just begun." Davis, Hachimura, James, Reeves and Schroder have an interesting lineup, and the G2 Lakers will change lineup first, and they can't guard repeatedly. Jokic is too powerful, 30+20+10, that is, the last 5 minutes must not be scored, Hachimura has strength. ”
Wang Meng: "These Hamm coaches will definitely continue to be used in G2. The Lakers will definitely be clear about their defensive principles, don't let Mr. Joe lead others, limit the shooter as much as possible, and they will eventually adjust Gordon's shot, and if the shot kills me, I admit it. But I can only let you go.
The Nuggets' offense is just too powerful. About teacher MVP. But the Nuggets' defense has many loopholes, especially when encountering the strategy of changing defenses with cover, it will give Zhan Mei a lot of attack opportunities.
Looking forward to the G2 continuing to see tricks. The joy of the playoffs is back"
