May 21, Staples Center Arena.
Night falls.
At this time, the home court of the Lakers was about to host the Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals against the Spurs. The lights were bright and there was a sea of people.
During the warm-up, Kobe took Gasol with him and chatted about a few cents with the Spurs' GDP team.
To be honest, the three Spurs didn't want to talk. After all, the Lakers got to the Western Conference Finals by cheating. They exchanged a few small changes for a gold coin to get Gasol. This was a violation of the rules.
They couldn't wait to kill the Lakers immediately, so they didn't have time to talk about a few cents.
If you want to talk, just talk about calculus. What can you, a high school student, do to talk about it?
Kobe insisted on talking, waited for three years, and finally got an opportunity, so naturally he would not let them go easily.
In fact, Kobe has been unhappy with the Spurs for a long time.
What about the Lakers exchanging several coins for one gold coin? What about the Lakers robbing you and eating your rice?
This is a family matter for the Lakers, what does it have to do with the Spurs?
He jumped out to oppose this reasonable transaction, but never reflected on what he had done.
In the words of Bo Povich, the Spurs only needed a few coins to renew a gold coin, which inflamed the competition in the Western Conference.
Duncan's average salary should be above Garnett's level of over 20 million. As a result, the Spurs only spent about 15 million to get it done.
Ginobili's average annual salary was the lowest at 14 million, but it turned out to be only 10 million.
Not to mention that Parker didn't cut the price much, Bowen has never been out of the best second team defensively since the 2000/01 season, and even won the best first team for five consecutive years.
As a result, after eight years with the Spurs, the defense was as fierce as a tiger. Looking at the salary, the average annual salary was 3.5 million.
3.5 million = Bowen!
That's it? Isn’t it too fake?
As the originator of 3D, he has not even reached the middle class of 5 million. It is no wonder that the better 3D players in the future will start with an annual salary of 15 million. Bowen will cry and faint in the toilet.
Su Bei didn't have to talk and just warmed up by shooting shots quietly. What was coming was a tough battle, and no amount of preparation could be too rigorous.
At this time, the starting lineups of both sides for tonight's match were also displayed on the big screen in the arena.
The Spurs' starting five are Fabricio Otto, Duncan, Bowen, Ginobili, and Parker.
The Lakers' starting five are Gasol, Odom, Su Bei, Kobe and Fisher.
This game will be broadcast live on TNT radio, with Barkley and Kenny Smith as commentary partners.
“The Spurs continued to field the starting lineup that came back to win in the semifinals.
When playing against the Mavericks in the semifinals, the Spurs were once behind 1-3. When they found that the offensive firepower could not withstand it, Povich transferred Ginobili, who was playing as the sixth man, back to the starting lineup and played nearly every game. In 40 minutes, they won three consecutive games and defeated the Mavericks.
The Lakers' offensive firepower is not bad. If they just rely on defense, they will probably end up like the Mavericks. It is not surprising that the Spurs have continued to win consecutive starting lineups. "
"This game is a 50-50 win rate. The key for the Lakers is to see how good Gasol is. After all, if you have to touch Duncan, how much moisture will come out in one try.
The Spurs' lineup is aging, Finley's condition has declined greatly, and there is not much gas in the tank. Putting Ginobili in the starting lineup and rotating the substitutes is a problem. It depends on the Spurs' protracted battle of losing one wall to make up for the other?
You know, the Lakers only played 5 games in the semifinals, but they had 5 more days of rest than the Spurs. The timing, location, and people are all the advantages for the Lakers..."
The game begins!
Beep——!
When the whistle sounded, the referee threw the basketball high in the air. Gasol defeated Duncan and scored the first offense for the Lakers.
“Fisher took the ball to the frontcourt and immediately passed it to Kobe.
After receiving the ball, facing the basket, and taking a step forward as the three offensive threats, Kobe dribbled the ball to the inside and was stuck by Bowen like a dog-skin plaster.
Kobe turned his back, shook his shoulders, turned around, pulled the ball up, raised his hand and attempted a two-point fadeaway jumper..."
Kobe's rhythm was very smooth, and his shooting posture was also picturesque. Of course, Bowen was not elected to the All-Defensive First Team five times in a row. He jumped up almost at the same time as Kobe, and reached out to slap Kobe's eyes. Defensive skills are at their best.
It can be said that the offense was beautiful and the defense was wonderful.
Bang-dang——!
Kobe tried his best to try Bowen's 37-year-old defensive skills. As a result, he would die if he tried.
The first blood at the beginning was not obtained by Bowen, and the basketball hit the iron and missed.
"Duncan picked up the rebound and passed the ball to Parker to advance.
After Duncan was in position, Parker immediately lobbed the ball to Duncan and hit Gasol with his back. Su Bei rushed over to flank him.
Duncan didn't waste any time and handed the basketball to Bowen.
Bowen also played it safe. Instead of betting on whether there were bullets in the three-point pistol, he put the basketball in Ginobili's hands.
He lifted the ball and flicked it. When Kobe rushed out to block the shot, he collected the ball, started, and dribbled the ball to the inside.
The monster snake-like breakthrough broke through the Lakers' defense in an instant, reached the penalty area, and made a three-step layup and a lob..."
Odom and Su Bei's defense was resolved by Ginobili, who easily put the basketball into the basket.
Swish——!
2 to 0!
From the inside to the outside, and then from the outside to the inside, there is still something good about the Spurs' GDP combination offense.
When Ginobili came up, he showed his special skills and was very good offensively!
Offensive and defensive transition, the Lakers offensive round.
Did Fisher control the ball to the frontcourt, or did he choose to hand the basketball to Kobe to play? The tool man can't explain it.
"Kobe didn't try again. He just copied the ball and handed it to the inside. Gasol caught the ball and his back seemed to be against a wall. He squeezed it twice and found that it didn't move, so he gave the basketball back to Kobe.
When playing against Duncan, I still had to do a bit of reluctance and chose the wrong opponent. Gasol was very stable and copied the same homework and chose to trust the offense from the outside.
After receiving the ball, he took a step forward in a triple-threat posture, and then broke through with the ball. Kobe automatically made contact with his body. With a bang, Bowen lost his balance. He turned his back, swayed his shoulders, turned to the right, and broke through again. Bowen's The defense was lost.
Ginobili seemed to predict Kobe's offensive style, rushed over in advance to help defend Kobe, and took off the ball. Kobe's two-point fadeaway jumper was blocked in the face, and it was powerful in the air.
Huh?
Kobe did not sit in the air and wait for Ginobili's body to fall before taking a shot. Instead, he threw the basketball behind him in the air.
What kind of vision is this?
Su Bei received the basketball from outside the three-point line, lifted the ball, made a jump shot, raised his hand and made a three-point jumper..."
Swish——!
With his hands up and down, Su Bei was not used to Ginobili. He dared to let go, dare to shoot, and dared to hit, and he steadily hit open three-pointers, opening up the Lakers' scoring account.
2 to 3!
"Nice shot!"
“It’s so beautiful!
"
When returning to defense, Kobe and Su Bei high-fived to celebrate Suko's (death-match) connection just now.
Kobe didn't predict Ginobili's prediction just now, but was prevented from shooting rhythm, so he could only bet that there was someone on his back.
Off the court, Bo Povich was very calm. Their defense was very good and the points lost was just an accident, which is still acceptable.
"On the field, the Spurs are attacking. Parker brings the ball to the frontcourt. After his teammates are in position, he starts, accelerates, changes direction, pulls up the ball, raises his hand and shoots a two-point pull-up jump shot..."
Fisher couldn't stand it. Su Bei came to help defend, but he didn't catch up.
Swish——!
Parker, this little supercar, breaks through sharply and is too fast.
Laoyu was still not good at dealing with such a nimble and agile point guard, so Parker made a precise mid-range shot and hit two points.
4 to 3!
“The Spurs started the game by focusing on the Lakers’ interior and point guard positions.
Although Fisher and Gasol joined the Lakers, facing the Spurs with Parker and Duncan, these two positions are still a permanent pain for the Lakers.
Next, look at the Lakers' offense or Kobe's breakthrough. What can Bowen do to support him at the age of 37?
You can't stand it. When Kobe reaches the penalty area, Duncan can only stand up!
Kobe pulled the ball up, was he trying to catch up with the man... No, he still passed the ball after the attack. Gasol received Kobe's pass in the low post, and was completely empty. He caught the ball, jumped up, and shot a two-point jumper. Take action..."
Duncan's movement was still not as good as before. He chose to block Kobe's bottle of poison and ignored Gasol's bottle of poison.
Swish——!
Gasol's soft shooting touch, no softness, and accurate delivery of the basketball to the basket.
4 to 5!
This is the benefit of playing next to Kobe. With Kobe protecting you, it is quite easy to score points.
Snapped--!
When returning to defense, Ke's wife high-fived and celebrated the connection.
You said it was Du Suo, not Du Sao.
Well, it’s all the same, there’s no need to be more specific.
My sister-in-law is so fragrant!
Off the court, Jackson nodded, satisfied with Kobe's offensive choices.
The first attack was solid, and knowing that the prodigal son would turn around, he sent two consecutive assists.
As long as Kobe continues this offensive rhythm, why worry about destroying the Spurs?
“On the court, the Spurs were on offense and Parker lobbed the basketball to Duncan.
Instead of trying Gasol's defensive strength against Duncan alone, because trying to do so would most likely result in death, Su Bei continued to leave Bowen open. Duncan could only catch the ball and chose to flank him, completely ignoring Bowen's offense and three-pointer. It's alive.
Duncan didn't force the ball, he was still stable and passed the basketball to Bowen again.
After clicking, Bowen did not bet on whether there were bullets in his three-point pistol, but chose to dribble into the paint, catching the Lakers off guard. Fisher came to help defend, and Bowen passed the basketball to the middle.
Parker caught the ball, jumped up, raised his hand and made a two-point jumper..."
Swish——!
Parker continued to use precise mid-range shots to attack the Lakers' defense and continued to score two points.
6 to 5!
“Once a tactic is completed, continue with the previous tactic.
The Spurs' style of play is very simple!
Such a team is also very difficult to crack.
Beautiful games will not happen to the Spurs. Basketball that makes the opponent uncomfortable is the basketball that the Spurs like best.
Duncan's personal ability is too unsolvable. As long as the Lakers can't solve this problem, the Spurs will attack him endlessly.
Just looking at the data, Duncan did not score or assist. However, Duncan's influence on the court is, in one word, strong! "
"The Lakers offense did not continue to play individual offenses, and the triangle offensive tactics were in operation.
Gasol and Odom moved and exchanged positions. With the help of the screen, Gasol came from the left to the right, facing Fabrio Boto, without having to continue to let Duncan cover him.
Fisher handed the basketball to Su Bei, then cut inside to the basket, using Gasol's screen to get rid of Parker and hit the Spurs' backdoor.
The two sides are too familiar, the Spurs' defense is not a bean bag, and Parker closely follows Fisher's footsteps.
If it doesn’t work once, just do it the second time!
Fisher led Parker's defense and ran to the right three-point corner. Then, Su Bei cut into the basket, shook off Ginobili's defense, and received Gasol's pass. The basket jumped up..."
Bang-dang——!
Su Bei dunked with both hands under the basket, his whole body hanging from the southeast corner, and scored two points.
6 to 7!
Fabricio Boto is not Duncan's kind of guy. This guy is just making up the numbers and can't protect the basket.
With the blessing of the triangle offensive tactic, Subei's cakes are very comfortable to eat. They are almost pushed into the stomach... no, they are fed into the mouth.
Anyway, they all mean the same thing, which is so cool.
"The Lakers' triangle offensive tactics have been polished for three years and finally wielded a sharp sword.
Normal defense is really unstoppable.
The Spurs attacked, and Parker dribbled the ball to the frontcourt and lobbed the basketball to Duncan.
Huh?
Duncan's attack was a little too hasty. Before Jiangsu Bei's defense was in place, he had already attacked the basket and quickly finished the game..."
Peng, clang——!
Duncan used his body to kill Gasol, and his signature rebound shot was a bit unlucky, and the basketball bounced out of the basket.
"Odom took off the rebound, took it up automatically, and started the counterattack.
Oberto pounced and counterattacked on the spot. He failed to seize the ball and was fouled. "
"Do you think it's possible? The Spurs' foul was intentional, and the goal was to interrupt the Lakers' counterattack.
No matter what, the Lakers' counterattack failed, and it was still a positional battle..."
"Fisher controlled the ball in the frontcourt, handed the basketball to Su Bei, and continued to play a team-style triangle offense.
Gasol came to the right again, received Su Bei's pass, and provided a screen for Fisher who was cutting in the air.
Unable to get rid of Fisher, Su Bei pounced forward and then made an air cut. Gasol continued to cover Su Bei and pass the ball to Su Bei...
Huh?
Where is the ball?
Gasol feinted a shot, turned around and rushed to the basket to score points..."
Peng, shua——!
Gasol played too smart. He kept pretending to be a pig and suddenly showed his fangs. What could Fabricio Botto do?
He's just a passable role player.
Gasol is an All-Star, but he still has to act like a pig and eat the pig. His defense can only be weak.
6 to 9!
“With Gasol, the Lakers seem to have solved their weakest link, at least offensively.
It's no wonder that Bo Povich is so disgusted with Gasol joining the Lakers. It is very likely that he is afraid of what will happen on the court now.
The Spurs have only one Duncan who can play inside. For the Lakers, it's Odom and Gasol. If Bynum comes back.
With the Spurs' lineup, there is no future at all against the Lakers. "
“Offensively, the Lakers are very strong inside.
Defensively, Duncan continued to flank Duncan, but Duncan did not continue to make waves and passed the ball to Bowen in the bottom corner.
Catching the ball, making a jump shot, Bowen raised his hand and made a three-point jump shot..."
Su Bei turned back to defend and could only show off. From the moment he rushed to flank Duncan, he had no intention of taking care of Bowen's attack.
Fortunately, Bowen averaged only 6 points per game, and the three-point pistol was fully counted in a game, that is, two bullets, which could not kill the game.
This bet is worth taking even to death.
Bang-dang——!
Bowen's determination to shoot is still very resolute, and he has not wavered in his heart. After all, he has had a lot of experience. It's a pity that his ability is really limited, so he can only pay this price.
As a result, the basket refused and the three-point shot missed.
“The Lakers are suppressing the Spurs now on both ends of the court.
The Spurs were unable to attack and defend.
Betting on Bowen's three-pointer is still a bit unreliable! "
