The Lakers were eliminated and the Warriors were forced into a desperate situation: The law of "the inside is king" is once again showing its power!

In the NBA world, there has always been a saying of "famous truth": Those who win the inside will win the world. Recently, the Lakers were eliminated 1:4 in the first round, and the Warriors led from 3:1 to forced to 3:3. These two big dramas are simply "knocking" this law, and a magical plot of "not enough inside, go home to drink the northwest wind" was staged!

Let's talk about the Lakers first. Once upon a time, when the Lakers still had the big insider of Brother Davis, fans were full of expectations, fantasizing that they could go all the way in the playoffs and win the championship. Who would have thought that now Brother Davis has long gone away from the Mavericks. Without this inside pillar, the Lakers' inside instantly fell from the "king level" to the "bronze rank". The results of the first round of elimination made the fans shake their heads when they said it.

Without Brother Davis, the Lakers' inside line was so "terrible". The remaining inside players are either inexperienced or poor in strength, and they can't stand it in front of their opponents. Looking at the opponent, the inside line is simply a "copper wall". The other person's center, standing at the basket, is like a mountain. It is more difficult for Lakers players to break through and make layups than to climb the sky. Rebounding is also firmly controlled by the opponent. The Lakers do not make any shots every time. Seeing the opponent easily grabbing the rebound and launching a fast break, the hearts of the fans are bleeding. The inside line was blown up, the offense was out of guarantee, and the defense was full of loopholes. It would be strange if the Lakers didn't get out!

After talking about the Lakers, let’s talk about the Warriors. The Warriors led 3:1, and as the victory was right in front of them, the championship trophy seemed to be waved to them. What's the result? The Rockets won two consecutive games and dragged them into the tiebreak battle. This plot reversal is more exciting than riding a roller coaster. The inside problems of the Warriors were exposed in these two losses. Although Zhu Meng Green has rich defensive experience, he was completely suppressed and had no temper when facing the Rockets' double Tashi Shinkyung and Adams. Shin Kyung is in the inside, proficient in scoring, rebounding and assists. Adams is not inferior to him. With his strong body, he rushed around the basket. The Warriors' inside line is like paper, and it cannot stop the Rockets' offensive at all.

And the Rockets rely on the outstanding performance of the two towers to seek out the inside. They can not only score points, but also rebound and control the pace of the game. Even if the Warriors' outside players Curry and Butler are brave and without the support of the inside, they can only be "a skillful woman can't cook without rice." Again and again, the inside has no restraint, and it becomes difficult; again and again, the inside cannot hold on, allowing the opponent to score easily. This is a typical example of "If the inside line doesn't work, the whole team will suffer"!

From the early exit of the Lakers to the Warriors being forced into a desperate situation, we can clearly see that the importance of the inside in the NBA arena is self-evident. If a team does not have a strong inside line, it is like a ship without an anchor, drifting with the flow on the sea and cannot control the situation of the game at all.

Of course, basketball is a sport of five people, and the performance of outside players is also crucial. But the inside line is like the team's "stabilizing needle". With it, the team's offense and defense can be more stable. Those teams with strong inside lines are like having "secret weapons", and they are more confident and have a chance to laugh to the end in the game.

So, the Lakers, Warriors, and other teams that are struggling in the playoffs, hurry up and think about how to strengthen the inside line! Otherwise, next time the game, maybe I have to go home obediently. As for the fans, they are waiting for the tiebreak battle between the Warriors and the Rockets on May 5th to see how the "power" of the inside can influence the results of the game this time!
