Lost "Warcraft" Howard's offense.

This made Howard lose face. Even if he blocked his opponent on the defensive end, he still seemed to have suffered a big loss.

Because Ibaka's role in the Thunder and Howard's role in the Lakers are very different, if he can exchange it with Howard, in the eyes of Thunder head coach Scott Brooks, it will be a big profit.

This caused the Lakers to struggle extremely passively in the first quarter. The team's shooting percentage of 36.8% was far lower than the Thunder's 48.1%.

37-28 in a single quarter, leading the Lakers by 9 points and entering the second quarter.

It is obvious that after the experience of last season's finals, the Thunder are becoming more and more sophisticated and understanding, which allows them to play the Lakers with ease and without any difficulty on the scene.

The Lakers have completely entered "suffering mode" against the Thunder since then, and it will be difficult to achieve the same winning rate as before 2010.

Howard's performance was sluggish from the beginning of this game, which gave Tang Qian an opportunity to take advantage of it, because the worse the former performed, the better he performed. It is the simplest and most intuitive way to compare the same opponent.

.

"Hot, you're in for the second quarter, are you ready?" Mike D'Antoni looked at Lakers No. 29 on the bench.

"Of course, sir, I've been ready for a long time." Tang Qian took off his training sleeves and stood up.
