“Talent: Kobe Time Trigger.

Bonus effect: In the next 3 rounds of the host, the host's ability to resist interference when shooting is greatly improved, and the consciousness and skill ability to avoid blocks such as leaning back and pulling the lever are greatly improved. Due to technical actions such as confrontation, turning, jumping steps, etc.

The impact of the previous shooting force is compensated by the force.

Note: If the host takes all the shots in the next three rounds and hits them all, and the host keeps taking shots in the following rounds, the bonus effect will continue until the shot is missed."

This is the correct way to open ‘Kobe Time’!

Now Liu Xiu is very upset that he didn't study how to use this talent in the second round.

In 16 quarters of 4 games, he issued 3 instructions, but none of them were triggered... But at that time, there were conditions for a sweep, so just play steadily, and you would be stupid to think about selling tickets for one more game.

The big dog owner is always looking forward to the team's lack of money, so he can come out and scatter coins.

Moreover, it's hard to say anything about games. In 2003, the Trail Blazers almost made a comeback after falling behind 0-3, just a little bit.

It's not too late to make amends. With the experience of the last game, he already has some experience on how to use "Kobe Time".

First of all, don't rely too much on this.

Also, if you want to use the opening, just start it, like now!

Liu Xiu retreated to the backcourt and Parker advanced. He put away his distracting thoughts and concentrated on defense.

Parker was afraid of Liu Xiu's one-on-one defense, so he didn't even dare to try it when playing for the Spurs. He continued to play pick-and-roll with Duncan.

Although they lost the game, their defense was pretty good. The Spurs' defensive strategy from the previous game was continued tonight. The Spurs' start was almost as bad as the previous game. Halfway through the first quarter, the Spurs only scored 6 points.

This kind of scoring was expected by Popovich, and he also made some changes, such as putting Horry, who is more stable in three-pointers, into the starting lineup. If the veteran can score one or two three-pointers, the scoring situation will be improved.

Very different.

Although this change is still very old-school, it can already reflect Popovich's desire for change.

It's a pity that Horry had an open three-pointer once.

However, it was acceptable for Popovich to only score 6 points, but he still went berserk in the first half of the first quarter and called two timeouts, one long and one short. When the official timeout entered at 6 minutes and 11 seconds, he had already begun to curse.

.

They only scored 6 points, and the other side scored 20 points in the first half!

After Liu Xiu scored 3 goals in the beginning and scored 7 points, he scored 4 goals in a row and scored 8 points, scoring 15 points in half a quarter.

After scoring 7 goals in a row, Liu Xiu finally struck the iron, but Randolph scored two points with a tip-in. When Liu Xiu's ball burst to the right side of the three-second area, everyone on the Spurs team pounced on it.

After that, Ray Allen seized the opportunity and hit a three-pointer. The Trail Blazers led the Spurs by 14 points 20-6 at half quarter!

Popovich became even more angry after venting his emotions by swearing.

If the defensive execution is not in place, he can accept it. If the strategy is not working, he also admits it.

But the defense is very good, and the opponent can hit the ball!

This has to be said about Popovich's adjustment method of calling a timeout - emphasizing execution and stability.

After each timeout, Liu Xiu's high-post shooting opportunities actually got better.

Now Popovich can only hope that the demon sword can strike his opponent suddenly...

He really wants to have Kobe in his hands!

If it really doesn't work, he won't be able to accept it if Parker is replaced by the guy opposite...

…

After the timeout, both teams made lineup adjustments.

The Trail Blazers sent out a combination of Payton, Liu Xiu, Outlaw, Kwame Brown, and Mourning.

Go on defense!

The Spurs sent a combination of Udrih, Ginobili, Bowen, Duncan and Muhammad.

Ginobili did not disappoint Popovich. After coming off the bench, he was able to make contributions on the court, and his stability was qualitatively improved.

Ginobili scored 4 points and 2 assists in half a quarter, helping Duncan score 5 points in half a quarter.

Under the leadership of the two, the Spurs scored 12 points in the first half!

In this half of the quarter, Duncan scored more points on the offensive end and played more easily.

Ginobili is versatile and has more ways to score.

Udrih has better pick-and-roll skills with the ball and does not need backward compatibility with Duncan.

Therefore, Duncan has more energy to devote to defense.

The Trail Blazers started high and went low in the first quarter, and only scored 7 points in more than 5 minutes in the second half.

At the end of the first quarter, the Trail Blazers led the Spurs by 9 points, 27-18.

Entering the break, Liu Xiu looked at the narrowed score difference and was very upset.

In the second half of the quarter, he was too paranoid, iron oxide!

He now has a deeper understanding of the 'paranoia' side effects of 'Kobe Time'.

This move must also rely on strength to support it. It is the kind of talent that the stronger one's ability is, the stronger the effect.

In addition, Liu Xiu also learned one thing - their overall condition was average, not like their opponent's best condition.

Tonight, I have to rely on him!

…

After returning from the break, Liu Xiu and Ginobili started the second quarter together.

Both of them felt the fighting spirit in each other's eyes, and after the start of the second quarter, they both started to attack!

Ginobili played 7 minutes in the second quarter and made 3 of 6 shots, including 1 of 2 three-pointers, plus 2 of 2 free throws, scoring 9 points and 1 assist.

In addition to Ginobili, Duncan, who came on in the middle of the second quarter and played the rest of the time, made 3 of 5 shots and 3 of 5 free throws to score 9 points.

Liu Xiu continued to play the full second quarter, making 4 of 10 shots and 3 of 4 free throws to score 11 points.

Except for Liu Xiu, the Trail Blazers' best performer in the second quarter was Ray Allen. His three-pointers were blocked. He took 5 mid-range shots and scored 6 points on 3 of 5 shots.

The Spurs performed better in the second quarter, scoring 30 points in a single quarter and scoring 30-26.

After halftime, the Spurs chased the score to 48-53, narrowing the point difference to 5 points!

He made 12 of 22 shots in the half, including 1 of 4 three-pointers, plus 5 of 6 free throws. He scored 30 points at the half, but the team only led by 5 points... Liu Xiu once again felt the Spurs' terrible stability.

sex.

The Spurs looked different from usual in the second quarter, and Liu Xiu felt that this team was indeed different from before.

On-the-spot changes are still not enough, but they seem to have made a big difference in the preparation stage, such as using Ginobili's improved offense as a substitute as a stable part of the team.

During the halftime break, Maurice Cheeks did not mess up when making adjustments. He thought more simply - since the attack he prepared at the beginning was unable to get into the state due to a long rest, then he should play defense! He should play the star.

!

Warden + three-point king, Maurice Cheeks feels that it’s time to steal the nickname of the league’s strongest backcourt combination from the Nets!
