Chapter 674: You call this a rotation battle? This is completely a dimensionality reduction attack!
In the second quarter, Mike Brown did not talk about martial ethics and only rotated one Artest.
Gasol, Kobe, Su Bei and Paul continued to fight hard on the court.
You've reached the Western Conference Finals. Do you want to rest? There's plenty of time to rest after death. In one word: fight hard.
For the Spurs, Bo Povich played Splitter and Diaw, Ginobili, Gary Neal and Parker.
Except for Parker who was beaten to death, the others had no choice but to take turns.
When the second quarter started, the Lakers had the offensive ball.
"Paul took the ball and beat Parker, went in, changed direction and passed Parker, and was going to the end.
But in the end it was impossible to reach the end. Split came to help defend, and as soon as he moved his feet, the basketball bounced off the ground from his feet. Gasol followed up to catch the ball, and only the basket was left in front of him..."
Bang-dang——!
Gasol's entire body was hanging on the basket.
33 to 31!!
In the first round of the second quarter, Paul led his teammates away and almost assisted Gasol to pass to the basket. God of point guards, the cards of the breakout system are so terrifying.
After the goal, Paul immediately turned around and returned to defense, and the Lakers' defense also quickly returned to position.
On the field, the Spurs attacked, Parker broke through and was pressed, and passed the ball to Ginobili, posing as a triple threat.
"Kobe was fighting closely, and Ginobili was swaying right and left, unable to find a chance to escape.
Oops, Diola went to the high post to cover, and Ginobili finally, finally broke in.
Kobe quickly moved sideways to catch up, and boom, a back pass passed the ball to Diaw, who was outside the three-point line.
Lifting the ball a little, shaking Artest, Diaw took a step forward with the ball, and immediately redistributed the ball to Parker. The latter caught the ball, lifted the ball, and raised his hand to shoot a two-point jumper after receiving the ball..."
Paul completed the block with his eyes covered, but he couldn't reach it. He could only bet that Parker would just stay outside and not go in!
Bang-dang——!
The opportunity came, but Parker missed it and missed the shot.
"Su Bei took off the rebound and immediately counterattacked with the ball.
Beautiful change of direction, passing Ginobili's steal.
Then, the ball was passed to Paul who was following him. The latter cooperated like kicking the wall and passed the ball to the front court.
Su Bei accelerated, received the basketball in the penalty area, jumped up with the ball, glided in the air, dunked, and blasted the damn basketball into the basket..."
Bang-dang——!
33 to 33!!
In the second quarter, the Lakers launched a 4-0 counterattack, and Subei quickly counterattacked to finish the work, helping the Lakers equalize the score.
“The Lakers are very straightforward!
Or continue to play music, continue to speed up, and compete with the Spurs for many rounds, so that they can use their physical advantage to defeat the Spurs?
This is a conspiracy!
Next, let’s see how the Spurs respond?
Oops, he was very tough and didn't slow down. Parker controlled the ball to the frontcourt and immediately passed the ball to Ginobili, who was again covered by Diaw.
This time, Ginobili chose to do it on his own, got rid of Kobe, broke into the three-point line, immediately used a snake step to dribble the ball, went in, finished, and quickly hit the board under the basket..."
Bang, swish——!
Gasol couldn't protect the basket, Artest was defended by Diola, and Ginobili was like a wolf among sheep.
35 to 33!!
The Spurs may not understand defense, but neither can the Lakers.
On the court, looking back, Kobe received Paul's pass, broke through with the ball, leaned on Ginobili's body, rushed to the penalty area, shouted loudly, faced the Spurs' attack under the basket, and forced a layup...
…
Bang, swish——!
The basketball circled a few times on the basket, but Kobe put it into the basket.
The closer you are to the basket, the higher your hit rate. The truth that Lu Xun said is still very reasonable.
As for the Spurs' defense?
Without Duncan sitting at the basket, it's no better than the Lakers.
This version of the Spurs no longer relies on defense to conquer the world.
The question is that defense cannot conquer the world, so we can only focus on offense.
Defense is suitable as a trump card. In critical decisive battles, it can be used as a killer move when suddenly unleashed.
Of course, if you can't even withstand the Spurs' offensive firepower, there's no need to increase your defensive intensity.
It would be quite simple for the Spurs to change their way of life.
After all, if you continue to work hard when you are old, you are looking for injuries.
35 to 35!!
The scores between the two sides continued to be evenly divided.
Offensive and defensive transition, the Spurs attack.
It was Ginobili who started the offense with the ball again, and Diaw continued to pull to the outside to cover.
"Artest actively switched defenses, Kobe left Diaw open, and directly attacked Ginobili.
Bang——!
It was another beautiful back pass. Diaw caught the ball from outside the three-point line. Seeing that no one was guarding him three meters away, he raised his hand to try for a three-point jumper..."
When Kobe quickly pounced to block the shot, it was already too late.
Fortunately, the Lakers did not regard Diaw's three-pointer as alive.
Bang-dang——!
"still none!
Dior's crotch is stretched tonight.
The opportunity came, but the three-point shot was useless.
Oh, the Spurs' offense was not over yet. Splitter got the lost basketball back. After landing, Gasol leaned on him and immediately distributed the ball to Parker to reorganize..."
The Spurs' formation immediately opened up, and both sides retreated. Then, the two wings scrambled to find space.
Gary Neal used Split's cover to get rid of Su Bei's defense and ran to the left side of the 65-point three-point line. After receiving Parker's signal, he immediately took the ball and raised his hand to try another three-pointer.
Jump shot...
Su Bei rushed early and slowly, but still failed.
There was no choice but to listen to the gunfire.
Bang-dang——!
"Sent again!"
The Spurs' lineup is very effective offensively, but the rotation of the lineup is not effective. They can't make any shots no matter what. It's hard to stand up.
The rebound was picked off by Gasol and he immediately passed the ball to Paul to advance..."
At this time, Su Bei and Kobe were like two sharp blades, quickly stabbing the frontcourt.
After halftime, Paul immediately turned over Su Bei's cards, forming a 2-on-2 situation in the frontcourt.
"Su Bei caught the ball from the right side of the three-point line, took a step, changed direction, pulled up, oh, raised his hand and hit a chasing three-pointer from Blind Ji Ba, will there be..."
Gary Neal is 1.91 meters tall, strong offensively and weak defensively. Against Su Bei, he is clearly out of position. We can only bet that Su Bei's three-point pistol has no bullets.
Swish——!
I guessed wrong, Su Bei's three-point pistol had bullets in it.
“It’s still a hit!!
Su Bei accurately hit a three-pointer, continuing the Lakers' offense.
You call this a rotation battle?
This is completely a dimensionality reduction attack!
After all, it is only the Spurs who are rotating, and the Lakers are playing the main force job. There is no rotation at all, so it is reasonable to be unable to withstand it..."
35 to 38!!
From leading by 4 points to falling behind by 3 points, Bo Povich couldn't bear it outside the court. He was afraid that the score would be too wide to recover, so he immediately replaced Duncan, Leonard and Danny Green on the court with a wave of his hand.
At this time, the lineup became Duncan, Leonard, Danigby, Ginobili and Parker.
With the combination of GDP and two potential new stars, the Spurs showed all their cards.
On the court, Parker controlled the ball to the frontcourt, and Duncan and Leonard continued to move high to evacuate. At the same time, Danny Green and Ginobili moved without the ball.
The Lakers didn't panic, they still focused on me on defense, blocking people in the penalty area, and then used their powerful wings to block the offensive area of the two-point line.
The three-point shot was made, and the Lakers had no choice but to admit it.
"Facing the Lakers' turtle-shell zone defense, the Spurs did not continue to gamble on their three-point shooting ability.
Parker lobbed the ball to Duncan in the corner, and then cut into the basket without the ball, taking away Paul's defense.
Duncan catches the ball and meets Gasol, oh my god!
Without making any adjustments, Duncan directly shot a two-point jumper..."
Gasol was stunned by Duncan's fake breakthrough move that he had honed over thirty years of basic skills. By the time he was about to respond, Duncan had already finished his work quickly.
Swish——!
"Nice goal!
As soon as Duncan came back, he scored points with a steady mid-range shot and stabilized the situation on the court.
Duncan rarely goes into the low post, but he is still very threatening in the mid-range shot..."
37 to 38!!
Off the court, Bo Povich had a calm face, feeling like he had everything under control.
Looking back, Paul controlled the ball to the frontcourt, immediately lobbed the ball to Gasol, who was immediately raised to the high post, and also cut to the basket without the ball.
"Parker was brought to the basket. Su Bei moved from the right corner to the 75-degree three-point line. Gasol squeezed Duncan twice with his back, and immediately passed the ball to Kobe on the left, facing Ginobili.
.
After Kobe took a step, he immediately chose to break through, leaning on Ginobili with his body to rush into the penalty area, and it seemed that everything was going to be smooth sailing.
Duncan swept over, but Kobe pulled out, kicked his legs back in the air, raised his hand, and shot a two-point pull-up jump shot..."
Swish——!
With the knife in hand, Kobe made a steady two-pointer.
This is professionalism!
Kobe was too efficient against the Spurs.
When it comes to wing defense, Ginobili is too weak, Leonard is too young, and Danny Green is not talented enough. He can only block the middle, guide Kobe to attack from the side, and then let Duncan sweep and kill him.
But Kobe doesn't fall into the Spurs' trap. He can choose his own attack route. If he falls into the trap, he can punish the Spurs' defense with accurate mid-range shots.
No matter how good Duncan was at defending the basket, he couldn't hit Kobe and could only silently bear the blow from Kobe's mid-range shot.
37 to 39!!
On the court, Mike Brown clenched his fists and celebrated.
There was a time when the Cavaliers he led were the victims of the Spurs.
The Spurs frequently used James's flaw in making tough shots to kill the game.
The result is that either the team loses and James does not lose, or the team loses and James also loses.
No matter if we let James play or not, we will always lose.
Now Kobe is not used to the Spurs' defensive strategy, and it hits the Spurs where it hurts.
Of course, the Spurs have changed their approach and focused on offense.
If you want to decide the winner, you have to let the attacking bullets get longer.
Mike Brown is also a ruthless person. He actually let all the main players play for more than 20 minutes before making slow substitutions.
Relying on the work of controlling the main force, the Lakers regained the main force on the court and suppressed the Spurs in terms of score.
In the shooting battle, you have to be tough and persistent at the same time.
The Spurs were determined to shoot, but they couldn't do it in the long run.
After Duncan scored a goal, he made consecutive shots and only made 1 of 4 shots.
Parker hit 1 of 3, Ginobili hit 2 of 4, Leonard hit 1 of 2, Danny Green hit all of them, but 1 of 1, that offensive firepower is not even enough to feed the cat.
For the Lakers, Kobe was in top form, making 5 of 7 shots and 3 of 3 free throws. He scored 13 points in a single quarter and defeated the defensive defense of Ginobili, Danny Green, and Leonard.
Subei made frequent achievements in the counterattack, making 4 of 5 shots, 2 of 3 three-pointers, and scored 10 points. It continued to shine with the Lakers' "death combination", leading the Lakers to beat the Spurs in the face-off.
The score is 31 to 22.
At the end of the first half, the score was 55 to 60. The Lakers relied on their main force to complete the lead and entered the locker room to rest with a 5-point advantage.
