With the appearance of Muhammad, the Spurs' protection of the mid-range has improved. At the same time, Butler has replaced Atkins, and the weak side's containment has also declined. The Lakers' offense initiated by Kobe, Efficiency has also declined.

It's not easy for the Spurs. The current Popovich does not have the attainments of the "tactical master" later, especially on the offensive end, relying heavily on Duncan's hard work and Ginobili's unsolvable breakthrough.Ke Yan used "barbaric" inside tactics to fight Duncan to death, and even Ginobili's breakthrough was not so smooth.

Three insiders and six hands upright, you will feel numb if you stomp!

The offensive efficiency of both sides declined. At the end of the first quarter, the Lakers led by 28 points at 25:3.

The core lineups on both sides played the entire first quarter, and at the beginning of the second quarter, they were all replaced by substitute players.

For the Lakers, House, Finley, Butler, Barnes, and Medvedenko are facing off against the Spurs, Udri, Brent Barry, Devin Brown, Horry, and Nesterovic.

In the matchup of the substitute lineup, except for the center position, the gap between the two sides is not that big.Of course, this also depends on Keyan discovering Eddie House and Matt Barnes.

You have to replace Terry Brown and Luke Walton, and the Spurs will tell you what lineup depth is.

Brent Barry ran sideways, throwing off Finley who was following behind, and just arrived at the position, the ball had already been passed from Udrih.

Catching the ball, turning around, and jumping, the three movements are done in one go. The ball draws a small arc, just passing the right end of the basket, and passing through the left side of the basket.

"Brush!" Hollow into the ground.

Brent Barry was the main point guard of the Sonics last season, and his departure is also a great loss for the Sonics. "Condescending" came to the Spurs as a substitute, his purpose is to fight for a championship at the end of his career and seek a happy ending.

The Lakers are attacking, and the ball is passing from the outside. Although the time is passing a little bit, the Lakers are not impatient, and they are still pouring the ball quickly from the outside.

Finley suddenly moved, dodged and cut obliquely into the three-point line, only half a body faster than Barry. Butler hit the ground and passed the ball to Finley. Finley caught the ball and took three steps. Throwing away Barry behind him, he rushed into the inside line.

Horry then retracted, blocking Finley's castration.And Barnes, who he missed, made a high-speed air cut from the left. After receiving the ball, he took off without any additional actions, and directly took off and poured the ball into the basket hard!

This is the first slam dunk since Barnes entered the NBA!This time, he didn't temporarily switch to a layup nervously, but ignored Nesterovic who made up for it, and smashed the ball into the basket without hesitation! (27:30)

Spurs offense, Udrih feints past Eddie House, hits a mid-range jumper (29:30)

Eddie House's shooting is indeed accurate, but his other abilities are indeed not at the NBA level. It's no wonder that he can't play on many teams.Ke Yan's usage of him is mostly to make use of his strengths and avoid weaknesses, let him play with Kobe and Odom, and make quick shots when someone restrains him.

But entering the playoffs, no one can play in a comfortable environment when facing an opponent like the Spurs, and House is no exception.

You come and go on both sides, but the point difference has been maintained at around 3 points, and it lasted until the return of the main lineup!

The Spurs attacked, facing Kobe's defense, Ginobili poked his toes out, and his whole body arched like a cheetah, full of breathtaking strength and beauty.

Unknowingly, Duncan came behind Kobe.Ginobili made a mistake with both feet, his left foot stepped out with lightning, and his protruding right toe exploded in an instant. The person's body is as soft as noodles, fooling Odom who stepped forward to change defenses, bounced, stretched, twisted his body in the air, and lifted the basketball with his right hand. Ginobili completed this attack with a very pleasing layup . (38:39)

In the mechanized offensive system of the Spurs, the biggest visual appreciation comes from Ginobili, whose ghostly breakthrough is not inferior to anyone.And once he echoed Duncan, the defensive pressure on the Lakers doubled!

The Lakers are attacking, and their only hope is Kobe.Kobe dribbled the ball halfway and came to the top of the arc. Bowen stood in front of him, watching him intently.

Kobe easily passed the ball to Odom, who just ran over from the other side. The latter made a fake move immediately after catching the ball, and made a sudden inward thrust, but immediately passed the ball to the standing Anderson in the horn position, Anderson caught the ball and didn't let the ball stay in his hands. With a shake of his hand, he passed the ball to Butler who had just rushed over from the left side.

Butler catches the ball and bows, raises his hands, and slightly merges his feet, a standard shooting preparation.

Immediately, Ginobili chose to jump up.

Butler closed his hands, separated his feet, turned sideways, kicked the ground, and accelerated five movements in one go. He passed the jumping Ginobili with the ball, and went straight to Duncan under the basket.

Duncan also stood still unceremoniously, standing outside the three-second zone.

Duncan's precise positioning forced Butler to take an early shot, and then the two inevitably collided. Duncan fell to the ground, but the referee whistled for a defensive foul.The two people did not collide with their main torsos, but half of their bodies collided together. There is no problem with whistleblowing to block fouls.

Staring at the referee for a while, Duncan didn't say anything, but Popovich on the sidelines ignored the assistant coach's obstruction and began to put pressure on the referee and yelled loudly.

Although "zero tolerance" has not been promulgated at this time, it is not allowed to challenge the authority of referees in this way.The referee gave Popovich a "T" without hesitation. Popovich shook his hand resentfully and returned to the bench to do well.

This is actually a kind of "psychological tactics". On the surface, scolding the referee for taking a T and losing a point, in fact, putting pressure on the referee may gain more than this point!

Kobe made a solid free throw for a technical foul, and then Butler made one of two free throws, and the point difference was still three points. (38:41)

Looking back, the Spurs really benefited on the offensive end. Duncan faced Diop and Odom in a low post and missed a forced shot. The referee called a foul.

This time, it was Ke Yan's turn to be dissatisfied: "I ask you to see clearly, there is nothing wrong with the defense this time!"

His tone was more elegant and easy-going, and the assistant referee only negotiated with him a few words without blowing a T.

Fortunately, Duncan's free throws were not so stable compared to his other scoring methods. He made one of two free throws and narrowed the point difference to 2 points.

Kobe played Bowen with his back in a low post, turned around and swayed Bowen away nimbly, then cut to the basket, facing Duncan and Mohammed's supplementary defense, he flew into the air, flashed through the gap between the two, and a super A large pull-up layup completed the score and scored his 20th point of the game! (39:43)

Popovich was also helpless on the sidelines. Speaking of which, the team did not limit the Lakers' offense today, which is the key to the team's troubles.But to put it bluntly, the team just didn't restrict Kobe, allowing him to shoot 12 of 8 from the field, and the offensive touch was completely explosive.

Ke Yan's tactics today are also very simple. The three insiders on the defensive end desperately consume Duncan, and the offensive end creates the best singles opportunities for Kobe, and the rest depends on Kobe's performance!

But this tactic is really effective, especially Kobe, who really supported the team's offense and led the team to the lead.

The game continued. Under the leadership of Duncan, the Spurs still carried out a powerful inside attack in the Lakers' penalty area. The Lakers placed three insiders on the court to limit Duncan, but they were still suppressed.Fortunately, after the Lakers lost points every time, Kobe and Butler were able to use singles to help the team score and make up for the score again. Wonderful goals were displayed in front of the fans again and again.

The Lakers' offense struck again. Kobe flew in the air, stretched out his body, and Dapeng raised his hands as high as wings, and flicked the ball up before Duncan blocked the shot.

The ball went straight in, and the round of direct dialogue between the two superstars ended with Kobe's victory.But Kobe wasn't even in the mood to make any pretentious moves, he just turned his head and rushed to his own half to continue defending.

Faced with such a Spurs and such a Duncan, many opponents are likely to have been defeated.But today, Ke Yan and his Lakers have shown more valuable qualities than the team's gorgeous offense. They are as tough and terrifying as a pack of wolves.

"Boom!" Bowen missed another three-pointer from the corner. This titan, who is famous for his defense and three-pointers from the corner, made zero three-pointers from the corner in this game. In the confrontation with Kobe on the defensive end, he The consumption is too large, and the feel can never be found.

Seeing that the ball was about to fly out of the sideline, a person flew up obliquely, and the moment he landed, he threw the basketball that was almost parallel to him forward angrily. The ball was saved by him, and immediately changed direction, heading towards the Spurs. The team's half flew.

Originally, the ball could not be saved, but the Spurs players just stood there, waiting for the Lakers to serve the sideline ball, but they saw a black figure galloping towards the basketball, jumping out of the sideline together with the basketball, miraculously throwing the ball away. The ball was saved.

Kobe!This is his desire to win!

Butler bent down to catch the ball, then threw the ball forward, and at the front was Odom, the Lakers' most powerful player!

At this moment, Odom is running faster and more focused than at any other moment. After catching Butler's pass, Odom jumped up again, jumping more than ever Get high!

Swinging his hands in a circle, Odom used all his strength to smash the ball into the basket.

The Lakers bench all stood up, excited for this beautiful teamwork!

Butler followed up and pushed Odom to show his excitement, and in the backcourt, Anderson and Diop had already pulled Kobe up.

"Are you okay?" Anderson asked.

"It's okay, it's just that my butt hurts!" Kobe stretched out his hand and rubbed his butt, forced a smile, looked up at the score on the big screen, and finally led by 7 points! (47:54)

This is the time when the Lakers have the greatest advantage so far!

Not wanting to let the Lakers start, Popovich called a timeout in a disgraceful manner, and then slapped the players on their heads and covered their faces with an output!Ginobili and Parker, who were directly sprayed, couldn't hold their heads up.

On the Lakers side, the excitement of the whole team is beyond words.Leading for nearly half time in a row, everyone now believes more and more that they can beat the Spurs!
