From the very beginning, the Lakers established a high-pressure defensive strength. Kobe and Odom did a great job of perfectly restricting Parker's shots.

The three-high layout was broken, and Anderson alone really couldn't restrict Duncan at all. In this case, he made a fuss by restricting Duncan's receiving the ball.Duncan's running position is more flexible than that of Yao Ming, and it is not a good choice to defend around the front, then simply block the source and pinch Parker directly!

Ke Yan's tactics were very targeted. In the opening 4 minutes, the team scored a wave of 14:4, and finally forced Popovich to replace Ginobili!

Compared with Parker, the Argentine is a better ball-handler. He controls the offense, and the Spurs can easily run the ball.The tentative attack was broken by his timely points, and the double-team was broken. Other positions formed more hits and less hits. The Spurs got the ball into the penalty area, and Duncan easily dunked.

Ginobili's sense of distribution and passing ability can easily break the Lakers' up-line attack. After the Lakers completed an attack, Ginobili once again sent a wonderful pass under the attack and handed the ball to the In the hands of Horry who is open, the latter is not greedy for credit, and after attracting the help defense to rotate, the ball is given to Bowen on the bottom line. Bowen Yang hits a three-pointer! (16:9)

Ke Yan made a gesture towards the sidelines, reminding the players to change their defensive strategies, which was cracked by Ginobili.

The Spurs' offensive efficiency has improved, and the Lakers' positional offense has lost the "black hole" of Diop, and the space has indeed increased a lot. It entered the official timeout at 22:14.

After returning from the timeout, Ke Yan replaced Butler with Finley, and continued to try to compress the rotation lineup and increase the playing time of the main players to compete with the Spurs.

Odom has been completely used as a "point guard", and Kobe has also taken on part of the heavy responsibility of dribbling across the half court. Instead, the team's two point guards, Atkins and Eddie House The game is basically in a state of being abandoned.

Finley's appearance added an off-the-ball running point for the Lakers' half-court offense, which played a "lubricating" role for the Lakers' offense. This veteran does not have a great singles threat, but his shooting There are no obvious dead ends, which can effectively contain the Spurs' defense.

The Lakers "abandoned" the point guard, and the Spurs "abandoned" the center to "counterattack" the Lakers.The game became extraordinarily beautiful, and the fans were dazzled!After the first quarter, the Lakers led by 35 points at 31:4.

After the start of the second quarter, the atmosphere in the AT&T Center Arena was still hot, but the situation quietly changed.Ke Yan continued to play the main force, Kobe and Butler played together, attacking the Spurs like a wolf like a tiger without Duncan guarding the inside, the Lakers are completely in a posture of "doing all the work in one battle", and they don't even save their energy for the second half of the game up.

Popovich knew that Ke Yan liked to play "blitzkrieg", but he still underestimated Ke Yan's strength. Ginobili and Parker came on stage early after a 2-minute break, and the point difference has reached double digits.

"A lunatic!" Popovich complained.

Ginobili's debut helped the Spurs organize an effective counterattack again. Facing Kobe's defense, Ginobili's right hand suddenly swayed to the left with the ball, and his body, which was still stable just now, immediately turned into a line.

Kobe found the direction of the opponent's breakthrough at the moment before Ginobili's breakthrough, and decisively chose to move to the right. Just after half a beat with his right foot, Ginobili had already come to his right side like the wind .

Ginobili paused to the left, slapped the ball to the ground with his right hand, caught it with his left hand and suddenly dribbled the ball horizontally, swiped it, and slipped to Kobe's left side again.

Slap the ball to the ground, take a big leap forward, step into the three-second zone, jump the ball with a very elegant posture, flick it lightly, the ball draws a small arc, and hits the net with a "swish". 37:45.

Compared with Ginobili, Kobe's physical fitness is at a disadvantage.But after Ginobili completed the singles, Kobe was eager to respond. He forced Devin Brown in the low post and failed to hit.

Ke Yan on the sidelines shook his head in dissatisfaction. Kobe's offensive choice really has a big problem!

The Spurs made a quick counterattack. Ginobili broke into the basket and passed the ball, assisting Barry to hit a three-pointer from the wing, reducing the point difference to 5 points.

Kobe scored the ball after the pick-and-roll, and Anderson went down to catch the ball, pushed Bowen away, and scored with a rebound. 47 to 40.

Ginobili used the pick-and-roll to cut into the inside of the Lakers and missed a forced layup. Mohammed grabbed the rebound to find his teammates, and Anderson steals the thug.

When the ball was dead, Ke Yan hurriedly made substitution adjustments. Finley came on to replace Kobe to buy Kobe a rest time. Odom replaced Anderson to add an offensive point with the ball after Kobe left the field.

After a few more rounds, the Lakers struggled to maintain their lead. The Spurs took the lead in replacing their main players and suppressed the Lakers inside.

Ke Yan did not replace Kobe immediately, but used the lineup of Odom, Barnes, Butler, Finley, and Delfino to deal with the Spurs through outside shooting.

Facts have proved that there is no "Curry" on the court who is the only sharpshooter in the history of restraint.Ke Yan's attempt ended in failure. The Spurs launched a wave of 12:3 attacks around Duncan's point, and overtook the score in one go!

Back on the court, Kobe's "physical crisis" eased somewhat, but his touch didn't come back immediately, and he missed two consecutive offenses.Fortunately, on the Spurs side, Duncan's offense also fluctuated. He stood on the free throw line in a row and made 4 of 1 free throws.

In the last minute of the first half, the two sides fought for two rounds. Kobe scored five points, made a mid-range shot from an emergency stop, and made a three-pointer from the outside line. The Spurs did not score a point. The bell rang at halftime. The score changed to 1:56, and the Lakers led away by 58 points.

Just like Ke Yan often experimented with tactics in some games with a fault tolerance rate, Popovich also used this round of the series with the Lakers to perfect his system.The Spurs' lineup advantage is indeed obvious. Even though Popovich made some mistakes in adjustments, he was still only two points behind in the first half.

"Let me see how capable you are!" With Duncan in hand, Popovich still had confidence in the victory. He firmly believed that as long as he didn't make mistakes on his side, it would be difficult for the Lakers to hold on to their weak lead.

Conversely speaking, such a powerful Spurs and such an incomprehensible Duncan are also the best whetstone for Ke Yan. He led the team for half a season, plus a round of series, and the energy consumed is not as good as this round Much against the Spurs!

At the beginning of the second half, the Spurs took the lead in attacking, and the players opened up and passed back and forth on the perimeter, looking for opportunities without haste.

Duncan is in charge of the pick-and-roll in the middle. Parker breaks through with the ball, attracts the defense and then passes to Duncan on the right. Duncan is far from the basket. Attracted three people to defend, lightly sent the ball from the opponent's side to the left corner, Bowen received the ball open, hit the ground with a three-pointer, and overtook the score!

The Lakers attack, Kobe and Odom play a pick-and-roll in the middle, Duncan defends the pick-and-roll and delays Kobe first, so that he can't break through easily, he can only jump shot, as soon as Bowen catches up, Duncan moves to the middle to card Anderson, or keep the distance Interfere with a shot.

Kobe held Bowen and made a difficult fadeaway jumper!

Kobe scored a difficult goal, and Duncan was not upset. He made a quick shot from the baseline. Ginobili quickly advanced to the free throw line. Basketball goes in. 61:60.

The Lakers attacked. Kobe dribbled the ball to the baseline on the right side, leaned against Bowen with his back, and turned to the baseline to avoid the blocked fadeaway jumper. The movement was very beautiful, but the arc of the ball was a bit flat, and it bounced out of the frame.Duncan got stuck and grabbed the backcourt rebound.

The Spurs attacked and passed back and forth several times. Duncan diverted the ball to Manu Ginobili in the right corner. The latter faced Kobe, took the ball and swayed it, and then changed direction to 45 degrees, attracting Kobe to move laterally. , dribbled from behind to his right hand, quickly changed direction and broke through the bottom line, and succeeded again.

After jumping up to attract the defense, he lightly passed the ball to the left corner, and it came to Bowen's hands again. This time, Bowen failed to seize the opportunity and missed the shot.

Kobe and Anderson pinched Duncan, protected the backcourt rebounds, dribbled the ball by himself, escaped under the cover of Anderson, received the ball from the left side and faced three threats, suddenly made a mid-range shot to avoid Bowen's block, and the ball scored! 61:62.

Although the goal was scored, the Lakers did not cooperate, and only depended on the individual ability of the star.

The Spurs attacked, and Duncan made an off-ball screen for Ginobili, helped Ginobili catch the ball, took a step in with the ball, and made an emergency stop jump shot.

The second half started, and the duel between the two shooting guards made the fans mesmerized.But from the point of view of the two head coaches, Ginobili's "exchange" with Kobe is obviously beneficial to the Spurs.

The Spurs rely on the advantages of the team to create better shooting opportunities for Ginobili, but for the Lakers, Kobe's offensive touch is really good.When Kobe feels good, Bowen is not difficult to defend, because Kobe can shoot from all positions on the court.

Ginobili gradually became "incapacitated", and the Spurs consciously adjusted their offensive direction, allowing Duncan to play singles with the ball instead. Whether it was low-post singles or mid-range catches, Anderson couldn't stand it!

After half a quarter, Kobe couldn't stand it anymore. At the critical moment, veteran Finley stepped up again. After replacing Barnes on the field, Finley exerted strength from outside the three-point line and made three three-pointers in half a quarter. , including a 3+1 and scored 10 points.

The Lakers entered the fourth quarter with an 8-point lead, and the situation was very good.CCTV's guest commentator Zhang Lili even exaggerated Ke Yan's "away advantage" to the sky, making young fans really think that away games are better than home games!

In the G2 game, Finley broke out in the third quarter, replacing Kobe and continuing the offensive firepower of the Lakers, and made great contributions to the Lakers' final victory!Maybe, history will repeat itself today!

Of course, Popovich will not sit still. He replaced Duncan at the beginning of the fourth quarter and played together with Brent Barry, Ginobili and Udri. . . . . . .Onslaught in the restricted area!

Many people were misunderstood by the CCTV commentators, thinking that Duncan was characterized by "stability" and lacked scoring explosiveness.In fact, it's just a few eggs.Duncan's offensive ability ranks among the top three in the league.When the team needed him to score, he acted like a God of War. Within 3 minutes of his debut, he smashed the Lakers inside and led the team to a wave of 12:4 attacks, tying the score!

Ke Yan replaced all the main players, "completed his merits in one battle", Popovich also sent Parker, Horry, and Bowen to the field, and he was not going to let Ginobili and Duncan rest in the fourth quarter!

The main lineup of the two sides returned, and each put more thought on the defensive end. Kobe played the whole game, Duncan took offense and defense, and the offensive efficiency of both sides declined. They fought until the last 2 minutes. Still a draw (104:104).

The more critical the game is, the more nervous the Spurs fans become.Judging from the past four games in the series, the Lakers won both of the stalemate games, and the Spurs established their advantages early.

Kobe Bryant must be one of the most terrifying key ball killers in this league!

Received the ball at half court, facing Bowen's defense, Kobe's dribble was wide open, the basketball was running on the left and right sides, he was driving to the three-point line, Horry suddenly gave up Odom, and rushed to Kobe Come.

Faced with the sudden double-team, Kobe suddenly accelerated, and before Horry approached Bowen, he caught the bouncing basketball with his left hand, and his body suddenly cut to the right, simply relying on speed to force him.

Kobe's speed is not top-notch, but at this point in the game, speed is not so important, and the physical fitness that can support you at full speed is equally important.Kobe's physical strength is second to none in the league. Even though he has supported the team for an entire game, he can still advance at full speed!

His left hand slapped the basketball to the floor, Kobe rotated his body, he pulled it horizontally from right to left, the bounced basketball was caught by his right hand, and then his right hand pulled the basketball still spinning in the palm of his hand, drawing an arc of 18°, Came to the left side of Bowen, soared into the air, corrected the balance deviation caused by the rotation in the air, and after stabilizing, shot resolutely!

"Wow!" In this round of the series, Kobe is a nightmare for Spurs fans! (104:106)

If it is placed in the finals, even if it loses, it is possible to compete for a loser FVMP!

Ginobili crossed the half court with the ball, Duncan demanded the ball toughly inside, and Anderson was unable to resist, but he still gritted his teeth and insisted. Butler couldn't help but move over from the upper line to help defend.

Duncan took a side shot. After catching the ball with both hands, he lifted Anderson away and took off directly one meter inside the free throw line. Butler struggled to block the shot, but was still powerless because of the distance and height.

This ball is dangerous!The basketball bounced twice at the front of the rim, and finally fell inward.

After scoring, Duncan is still expressionless. This expression on Kobe's face is stern, but on Duncan's face, it would be better to say "cute".

Kobe received the ball and put on a three-threat posture on the right side. After a step, he suddenly made a mid-range shot. Bowen tried his best to interfere, but he still couldn't touch the ball. The ball drew a beautiful arc and went into the net hollowly. 106:108.

With 45 seconds left in the game and the Lakers leading by 2, Popovich called for a timeout to set up an offensive tactic.

After returning from the timeout, neither side made adjustments to the lineup.The Spurs attacked, Horry pulled directly beyond the three-point line, and Duncan also mentioned the line, pulling Anderson out of the penalty area.

Ginobili and Kobe were in the horns on both sides. Bowen slowly walked towards the bottom corner. Butler didn't dare to let him make a three-pointer from the bottom corner, so naturally he followed him inseparably.

Parker made a gesture, and Duncan immediately stepped forward to the outside of the three-point line, made a pick-and-roll, stuck Atkins firmly to one side, and Parker quickly went straight down the right side.

Anderson took a step back, resolutely switched defenses, and controlled the distance between himself and Parker, because Ke Yan had told him that Parker had a one-handed throw.Butler left Bowen in the bottom corner for Kobe to help defend, and retreated back to the penalty area to help defend.

Parker didn't push forward, and passed the ball directly to Bowen, who was outside the three-point line in the right corner without hesitation. When Butler was shrinking, he paid attention to Parker's movements with a high degree of mental energy, and saw Parker pass the ball He immediately stopped his footsteps, went back the same way, and ran towards the corner.

Butler moves very fast, almost just a beat slower than the basketball. Bowen judged that Butler's center of gravity is forward, so he didn't consider the option of catching the ball and jumping directly. Instead, he started the center of gravity before catching the ball. Premise, ready to move in.

When the basketball landed in his hands, Bowen started directly, circled a half-arc with a very small arc, and passed Butler who was rushing forward.

Butler, who was out of position, saw Bowen passing by him, forcibly twisted his body, stepped on the ground with his right foot, and turned around to chase.

Anderson tried to make up for it, but at this time, under him, Parker used all his strength to hold Anderson abruptly, ensuring that Bowen fell into the basket steadily this time with a layup! (108:108)

There are 29 seconds left in the game. After the Lakers attack, the Spurs still have the last chance to attack!

The Lakers attacked, and Kobe dribbled to the three-point line on the left wing. He was still three meters away from the three-point line. Odom immediately approached Kobe to cover for Kobe.

Duncan chose to switch defenses without hesitation, but at this moment, Kobe suddenly made a cross dribble. He first made a breakthrough to the left, and then quickly changed the basketball to his right hand through a cross dribble, and then went straight to the right. The corner dribbles and rushes.

Also because of the premise of the center of gravity, Duncan was directly swayed by Kobe. Fortunately, he did not charge forward much, and immediately pulled back the center of gravity, turned around and chased after him.

But Kobe suddenly made a hand-shaking pass, and passed the ball to Odom who had just finished the pick-and-roll for him and then made an air cut. At the same time, he did not pause, but instead cut from the baseline to the inside.

This set of "carved in the screw shell" pass-run coordination finally fooled Duncan. Odom caught the ball, didn't stop at all, and went straight to the inside. Kobe caught Odom's pass and hit the basket easily Hit!

It is said that the Spurs have rich experience, but in this round of the series, at the critical moment, the Lakers will always be full of offensive tricks and score steadily, but it is difficult for the Spurs to do this!

Popovich called a timeout again, and Ke Yan didn't dare to be careless, and pointed out several key ball routines commonly used by the Spurs!

On the last attack of the Spurs, Ginobili received the ball through a screen, passed Kobe through the pick-and-roll, and took three steps towards the basket.

Odom and Anderson rushed forward frantically, pressing from both sides, no longer considering the possibility of Ginobili scoring the ball!

The game time is not enough to support Ginobili to cooperate with his teammates again. At this time, dividing the ball is equal to throwing the blame!

Stretching out his hand between Anderson and Odom, Manu Ginobili lifted the ball high and pushed it towards the basket.

The ball wiped lightly on the backboard, then fell to the basket, spun around the basket, and once again miraculously turned the basketball that had been turned into half of the body back out. . . . . . .

All the people stared blankly at the trembling basketball. Which side it rolls will determine the life and death of one side. Never before has its direction been so eye-catching.

Ginobili was sitting under the basket, looking up at the basketball.

"Clap! Clap! Clap!"

At this moment, in Los Angeles, in Shanghai, in Beijing, in Sioux City, there must be countless fans rejoicing, and in the AT&T Center Arena, in the entire San Antonio, there are countless Spurs fans. The highest emotions and the lowest emotions in your life complement each other. This is the charm of basketball!
