In the second quarter, rotation battle.
Mike Brown still lets the young and strong Su Bei and Paul continue to lead.
Kobe and Gasol, recuperate!
The substitutes include Jamison, PJ Tucker and Artest, and the cards are still very good!
On the Spurs' side, Bo Povich played five up and five down, all on the bench.
Ranked are DeJuan Lyle, Diaw, Warriors Jackson, Ginobili, and Gary Neal.
"The Lakers should rotate and have a strong lineup. After all, a salary of 100 million depends on their ability to make money.
The Spurs' rotation is also very strong. Compared with the starting lineup, it is very balanced and has many players who can play. Could it be that with 6 wins and 1 loss in the new season, they have the qualifications to compete for the championship..."
Not to mention Ginobili and Warriors Jackson.
Although it is old, there is still oil in the tank, and rotation can produce a dimensionality-reducing strike effect.
Gary Neal and DeJuan Blair, rounding up, one has 10 points and 3 assists, the other has 10 points and 6 rebounds, plus Diaw, whose statistics are not obvious, is very versatile, and fits the Spurs' tactical system. The Spurs bench lineup is also very competitive. force.
The second quarter started with the Spurs attacking the ball.
Gary Neal brings the ball downcourt and immediately hands the damn basketball to Ginobili.
The Spurs' rotation is centered around Ginobili.
After receiving the ball and facing Su Bei's defense, the triple threat probed for a few times and found that he could not find a flaw in the attack. He immediately lobbed the ball to Audi who was pulled to the high position. Then, he and Gary Neal moved and switched positions, bringing Paul to the In front of Ginobili.
"Hey, the Spurs are trying to copy the Lakers' homework!
Diaw threw the basketball back to Ginobili, faced Paul's close pressing, immediately feinted, dribbled the ball inside and broke through, entering.
Hey, instead of using the snake step, he actually played a pick-and-roll tactic with Diaw. When facing P.J. Tucker, Paul rushed to flank him. As if he had predicted it, Ginobili passed the ball behind his back and passed the ball to the three-point line. outside.
What is this operation?
After Diaw set the pick and roll, he did not cut inside, but retreated to a three-pointer and received a pass from Ginobili.
This tactic caught the Lakers off guard. Diaw was completely empty. Three meters away, the Lakers' defense was barren. After receiving the ball and lifting it up, Diaw raised his hand and shot a three-point jumper..."
If Paul pounced again, it was already too late.
Even if it's not too late, a 183-meter loss is not worth listening to the sound of a gunshot in front of Dior's 2.03 meters.
Swish——!
With the knife in hand, Diaw actually brought a microwave oven to the field. He fired from outside the three-point line for the first time and hit the target.
"bingo!!
The Spurs' three-point strategy in this round was very nice, and it was simply an unsolvable attack.
Moving and changing positions, breaking through pick-and-rolls, and misplaced three-pointers, every attack is a difficult problem for the Lakers' defense. The Lakers can't do it individually, and together, they can't stand it..."
23 to 28! !
Off the court, Bo Povich was very satisfied with the team's performance.
Especially after renewing the contract with Dior, it was a huge profit.
Diaw is so comprehensive that he can go inside and partner with Duncan to form an inside combination.
You can also go to the outside and continue forward tactics.
He can also serve as a screen in the two-point area and cooperate tactically with his teammates. Apart from being unable to have children, Diaw is simply a wonderful person in bed... no, on the court.
This season, the Spurs' average three-point shooting rate of 38% per game also surprised the Spurs. This shooting performance is close to Diaw's peak boxing state!
Looking back, the Lakers attack.
Paul took the ball to the top arc and prepared to deal the cards.
At this time, the Lakers' formation suddenly spread out.
"Jamieson and P.J. Tucker were in two three-point corners. Su Bei and Artest were on the left and right wings. Paul hit the arc, took the ball and singled out Gary Neal, continuously changed direction, accelerated, and Paul went in.
Letting Paul single out Gary Neal, a role player who is strong in offense and weak in defense, is the biggest blow to relegation.
The two wings of the Lakers are Su Bei, Artest, and Ginobili Jackson. Obviously they dare not let go, but P.J. Tucker, a role player who returned from Europe, can do so..."
Sure enough, Dirk Ambler did not follow out. When he saw Paul break through the first line of defense, he immediately helped to defend him. However, Paul was not used to him and used a two-point fadeaway jumper in the paint area to test the Spurs' ability. defense.
Swish——!
"pretty!!
This is Paul's lethality and the superstar's card on the court.
He couldn't stop it on his own, and he couldn't stop it even if he wanted to help defend against a flanking attack. Paul didn't give the Spurs a chance to set up a second line of defense, so he quickly took action and called it a day..."
23 to 30! !
The score difference became 7 points.
Off the court, Mike Brown was also very satisfied with the offense in this round.
In the first quarter of the game, Paul's first goal was to organize so that he could save his energy for the second quarter.
Traveling at staggered times with the offensive firepower of Kobe and Su Bei can maximize Paul's offense.
With Kobe on the court, the triangle offense can be played.
With Paul on the court, tactics can be built around Paul's breakout system, which seems to be more efficient.
On the other side, Bo Povich also saw the Lakers' way, but didn't panic.
On the court, the Spurs attack.
Ginobili still held the ball against Su Bei, but he didn't make a strong play.
Instead, the ball was lobbed to Diaw in the high position, but he cut in from the air.
"Beautiful pass-and-cut coordination, Diaw blocked Su Bei and passed the basketball to Ginobili. Seeing PJ Tucker pounce, Ginobili broke through in a snake-like step, just like passing through the streets in the early morning, passing PJ Tucker, only the basket is left in front of him..."
Bang-dang——!
Ginobi took advantage of an ordinary one-handed dunk, dunking the basketball firmly into the basket, and easily scored two points.
25 to 30! !
The score difference became 5 points! !
“The Spurs offense continues!
It's the pick-and-roll cooperation between Diaw and Ginobili again. They break through the pick-and-roll and move the pick-and-roll. Both of them are very comprehensive and can play in many positions.
The Lakers' rim protection is still not good enough, and they actually let P.J. Tucker play center. Who gave the Lakers the courage..."
Does Liang Jingru know?
On the field, Mike Brown, as the defensive coach, had a very calm face.
The problem is that the Lakers don't understand defense, and the Spurs don't even think about it.
When the Lakers attacked, they continued to play music, and then others opened up, and Paul singled out Gary Neal.
To be fair, none of the Spurs' point guards can defend.
Neither Tony Parker nor Gary Neal.
In the past, the Lakers' point guards were either Fisher or Farmar, so naturally they couldn't deal with the Spurs' point guards.
But now that the Lakers have Paul and a surplus of food at the point guard position, they can naturally take on the "food-starved" Spurs.
"Paul moved, but the Spurs' hands and feet seemed to be tied up by the Lakers.
See how the Spurs broke through?
It was the old trick, this time, DeJuan Blair acted early and jumped in to block Chris Paul.
Oh, the Lakers also changed their tactics. P.J. Tucker, who was staying in the three-point corner on the right, suddenly moved to the wing and provided a screen for Su Bei, blocking Ginobili and liberating Su Bei.
boom--!
Chris Paul, who broke through, didn't wait for the Spurs' flanking tactics to end. He immediately pushed with both hands and passed a ground-breaking pass, sending the damn basketball to the right three-point corner. Su Bei was completely empty. Within three meters, there is no one, catch the ball, raise it, raise your hand and shoot a three-point jumper..."
Ginobili was blocked and went around P.J. Tucker's body, but it was too late.
The Spurs can only bet that Su Bei's three-point pistol has no bullets.
Swish——!
Guessed wrongly, Su Bei's three-point pistol had bullets in it.
"bingo!!
Beautiful coordination, exquisite tactics, precise three-pointers...
The Lakers open up space for one-on-ones, use cover tactics to solve the most reliable shooting points, and then break through the bottom corner to shoot three-pointers. Every attack is also a problem for the Spurs' defense. Taken together, it is also a problem. I can’t stand it…”
25 to 33! !
The point difference has returned to 8 points! !
At the beginning of the second quarter, neither side knew how to defend, and neither side could do anything about who's offense.
Off the court, Bo Povich had a headache.
It is impossible to guard against Paul alone. It is absolutely impossible to guard against him.
Now that the Lakers have equipped Paul with one star and four shooting stars, the Spurs' defense can only be exhausted.
There is no choice but to let the bullet fly for a while.
On the court, the Spurs attack.
Similarly, Ginobili held the ball against Su Bei, and then made a breakthrough with the ball.
"Diaw moved to the high post again and used pick-and-roll tactics for Ginobili.
Su Bei was blocked again, Ginobili misplaced his position on Jamison, used a snake step to break through to the end, and he shot..."
Boom, swish—!
Ginobili's sharp breakthrough to the basket was unstoppable, and he easily scored 2 points.
27 to 33! !
The score difference became 6 points.
Looking back, Paul singled out Gary Neal.
"Martial Saint Jackson did not regard Artest's three-pointer as alive and chose to help defend.
boom--!
Before he could jump in front of him, Paul's hit pass sent the damn basketball into Artest's hands. After getting the ball, he rushed with the ball and he went in..."
Warrior Saint Jackson was fine when he came, but he couldn't go back. He could only watch Artest drive the bulldozer into the penalty area. Dirk Ambler swept over, and also swept away a lonely man. Artest welcomed him. Then he went up and attacked the basket and succeeded.
Bang-dang——!
Artest dunked with both hands, his entire body hanging on the rim.
"It is true that Artest's three-point shooting is not stable, but when he rushes forward and has the advantage of physical strength, he is also unstoppable..."
27 to 35! !
The score difference is also 8 points! !
Although no one can do anything about the opponent's offense, the Lakers, who hold an 8-point lead, have the advantage.
The Lakers are not afraid of attacking the Spurs at all.
In the next game, the Spurs struck gold.
Bringing Paul's defense to Ginobili, he raised his hand and shot a three-point pull-up jumper. The opportunity came out, but it was useless just to wait outside.
The Lakers' offense also failed.
Su Bei didn't dare to let go of the three-pointer, and Artest didn't give him a chance to hit the basket when he hit the basket, but he could let Jamison from outside the left three-point line take the shot.
As a result, the same opportunity came up. Jamison did not bring a microwave and took a three-point jumper, which bounced out of the basket.
Subsequently, the Spurs' offense scored, and soon, looking back, the Lakers immediately responded.
The two sides have entered a rhythm of hurting each other. You come to attack and I live with you. No one wants to know how to defend.
