There is indeed a big gap between the Phoenix Suns and the Los Angeles Lakers.

In terms of roster thickness, the Lakers are much stronger than the Suns.

The tacit understanding between Yang Chen and Kobe Bryant became more and more skilled, and soon let the Lakers occupy an absolute lead. Although this game is an away game for the Lakers, the fighting spirit of every Lakers player is high.

The Suns’ offense relies heavily on the breakthrough of Eric Bledsoe.

Eric Bledsoe’s playing style is still relatively similar to Wilson, he is quite good at using his speed advantage to force into the inside, causing fouls or direct layups to score.

When the Suns couldn’t get off the ground, Eric Bledsoe began to prepare to go it alone.

He dribbled to the front court and loudly motioned for his teammates to pull away.

The Lakers player defending in front of Eric Bledsoe is none other than Yang Chen.

Eric Bledsoe’s first step was extremely fast, and he suddenly started accelerating, which made Yang Chen slightly unresponsive.

But soon, Yang Chen’s second step was extremely fast, and he caught up with Eric Bledso in an instant by relying on his explosive power.

Although Bledsoe’s physical fitness is strong, it is still small compared to Yang Chen.

Yang Chen took advantage of his weight and height to constantly squeeze this space for Bledsoe to advance.

Bledsoe’s travel speed was effectively slowed down, and then Lakers interior player Wesley John rushed to arrive and joined forces with Yang Chen to steal the basketball in Bledsoe’s hand.

The Lakers instantly switched from defense to offense!

After Yang Chen snatched the basketball, he didn’t say a word, and directly rushed towards the opponent’s basket at a speed of 100 meters.

In an instant, Yang Chen had already appeared in the opponent’s half.

The Suns players did not slow down at all, and not even a single player went after Yang Chen.

The only one running toward the Suns basket was Kobe Bryant.

After seeing the team switch from defense to attack, Kobe also rushed towards the opponent’s basket at the fastest speed, hoping to attract defense to Yang Chen.

But what Kobe Bryant didn’t expect was that the other side didn’t have any players to defend back!

Yang Chen glanced back and found that it was only Kobe, and he also relaxed.

Although Yang Chen can fully score a layup, in order to get the number of assists, Yang Chen deliberately threw the basketball back, and Kobe Bryant, who followed up, easily dunked with both hands!

Now the score is 32:11, and the Lakers are already a huge 21-point lead over the Suns.

Although the first quarter of the game is not over, the confidence of the Suns’ players has been hit….

Few Suns players believe they can beat the Lakers.

The Suns fans at the scene also had this idea.

After witnessing the stormy offense of the Lakers, the fans in the stands are already clear about the huge gap between the Suns and the Lakers.

Want to beat the Lakers?

This is completely non-existent!

At the end of the first quarter, the Lakers were still 20 points ahead of the Phoenix Suns at 43-23.

It seems that the outcome of this game is already predetermined from the end of the first quarter.

After the start of the second quarter, the Lakers rotated significantly.

After coach Byron Scott went through the first quarter, he also basically understood the gap between the two teams.

So in the second quarter, Scott directly replaced Yang Chen and Kobe Bryant!

This blind confidence also gave the opponent a chance to turn the game around in the second quarter.

The Suns are still dominated by the main roster.

Bledsoe and Markieffe Morris were quite active in the opening stages of the second quarter.

After the Lakers lacked Yang Chen, Bledsoe could finally hit the basket unscrupulously.

His change of speed and pace allows for a breakaway layup with considerable ease.

On the current Lakers side, the defensive player who plays against Bledsoe is Jeremy Lin.

As we all know, Jeremy Lin’s defense can only be said to be average among the active NBA guard players, and Jeremy Lin’s average mistakes are also relatively large.

In the face of Jeremy Lin’s defense, Bledsoe drove straight in, frantically relying on his individual singles ability to score.

Of course, in addition to Bledsoe, there are many players who have also shown their offensive ability.

Like Gerard Green.

As a former champion of the Slam Dunk Contest, Gerard Green slammed under the basket twice in a row and completed a two-handed dunk, which instantly ignited the emotions and atmosphere of the home fans.

On the Lakers’ side, the only player who can pose a threat to the Suns is Nick Young.

But Nick Young is like a nerve knife, and it is impossible to predict how he will play in the game.

It may be that Nick Young can shoot five of five in the first five minutes, but it is also possible that Nick Young will shoot zero of five in five minutes.

Fortunately, Nick Yang’s performance during this period was quite stable.

His mid-range shots make defenders uncomfortable, and the Lakers’ offensive power is already focused on him.

Nick Young bravely took on the team’s offensive responsibilities in the second quarter.

12 points in a single quarter!

Although Nick Young played well, he still couldn’t resist the Suns’ offensive frenzy.

At the end of the second quarter, the Phoenix Suns, playing at home, finally narrowed the gap to less than ten points.

At 61:52, the Suns trailed their opponent by just nine points.

After entering the intermission, the Lakers head coach was also furious in the locker room.

He wasn’t at all happy with the performance of the substitutes.

The huge lead built up in the first quarter disappeared completely in the second quarter!!

When the Lakers lacked Yang Chen and Kobe, the team’s offense was paralyzed, and role players did not play their worth.

Without Nick Young’s stellar play, there’s a good chance the Suns will equalize by the end of the second quarter.

“Focus!! The opponent is the Suns! Not Warriors and Cavaliers, you must dare to shoot! ”

Byron Scott yelled loudly at his disciple.

“Team basketball! You have to cooperate, don’t stay where you are, run! Running! ”

After Byron Scott finished speaking, he sighed helplessly.

He knows very well that the Lakers team itself is a team that advocates singles, and it will take a long time for Byron Scott to make this team know how to cooperate.

Byron Scott sent the starting lineup for the first quarter directly after the start of the third quarter.

After the second quarter of Waterloo, Scott was no longer afraid to attempt a large rotation.
