Chapter 677 How to lose such a rich game? I want to write a book!
"The second-year Leonard's moldability is so promising and he has the potential to be a superstar!
His defense is already top-notch. After focusing on defense in the past two seasons, he has gradually developed offense, which is perfect for taking over the aging GDP combination.
Now the GDP combination will shine for another two years, and the world that will be conquered in the future will belong to Leonard.
The Lakers may not have thought that the disruptor would be second-year Leonard!"
"It's really hard to imagine. After all, Leonard is just a general guarded by Bo Povich. I guess the coach himself didn't expect Leonard to have such great potential..."
The timeout ended, the Lakers made substitution adjustments, Jamison came on, Gasol came on.
On the Spurs side, the players have just shown their chemistry and no substitutions have been made.
"Oh, Gasol just came on the court, Paul took the ball to the frontcourt, immediately gave the ball to him, and then cut into the basket.
Parker followed, but it was a feint by the Lakers. Gasol was the main attacker. He made a feint, turned around and dribbled the ball through, leaving only the basket in front of him..."
Diaw's defense couldn't stand it at all. Leonard, who came to help defend, was also very active, but Gasol was too long. He was every inch longer and stronger. He hit high and high, and there was no Duncan to protect the basket. The Spurs were the tallest in the team at this time.
It's Dior who is 2.03 meters tall, but he still protects Der's basket?
Defensively, what else do you need a bicycle for?
The five small lineups have such attributes. On defense, you have to kill yourself first, that is, 'death' the five small lineups.
Bang-dang——!
"Nice goal!
Of course, it was also the Spurs who chose such an unreliable small lineup without Duncan and Splitter.
Sure enough, the Spurs chose to attack..."
94 to 101!
The score difference became 7 points.
At this time, other pressure came to the Spurs. Fighting offensively with the Lakers was never a good choice.
The scores they got were too high.
You can imagine competing with top students for the rankings.
The Lakers have that top student, and his scores are very high.
It's not enough for the Spurs to get high scores in one subject. They can't increase their score by much, and they have to do well in other subjects as well.
On the court, the Spurs attack.
Leonard was guarded closely.
In the past, Leonard was basically doing personal work to guard against Kobe. Now Kobe is copying the work. Facing Leonard in crazy mode, this is not surprising.
"The side Leonard runs on becomes the Lakers' defensive side.
Under Kobe's strict defense, he couldn't catch the ball, he couldn't catch the ball at all.
Parker chose to play an outside screen with Diaw.
Parker went in, jumped out again, passed the ball to Diaw in the high post, caught the ball, jumped up, raised his hand and shot a two-point jumper..."
Gasol didn't defend, and Su Bei rushed to help defend, but it was just a show.
The Spurs' double-evasion, double-wing flying, and Leonard's explosion made the offense too difficult to defend.
If the role players can take action at any time and dare to take the pressure and take action when there is space, with the Lakers' defensive ability, they really can only listen to the gunshot.
Bang-dang——!
"No!
The open opportunity came, but Diaw failed to use it.
Beautiful, after Gasol protected the rebound, he actually dribbled the ball and pushed the speed to counterattack. When he saw Leonard rushing towards him, he immediately distributed the ball to Paul.
Another beautiful turn, passing Gary Neal, and then, with a push of both hands, sent the basketball to the front court..."
At this time, Su Bei took the lead and rushed to the frontcourt.
Kobe followed suit.
"The transition from defense to offense was too fast. Subei got the basketball in the frontcourt and the right three-point line was 75 degrees outside the three-point line. What was Subei doing?
OMG!
He pulled it out, and the shot was so random, so messy, he raised his hand and hit a blind three-point jumper. Is it possible? If so, it will probably kill the game..."
Bang-dang——!
Su Bei's three-pointer missed.
He actually wasted a counterattack that was sure to score a goal.
If you choose to lay up, you can score a goal steadily.
Outside the stadium, fans and spectators expressed regret and immediately exclaimed.
"Kobe came back, he got the offensive rebound, and the Lakers' opportunity came again, and he rushed into the penalty area.
What the hell?
Kobe Bryant's basket was open in a one-on-two situation, and he actually passed it?
In the right corner, Su Bei got the ball again and attempted a three-point shot again. Leonard pounced, but Su Bei had already pulled up, raised his hand and shot another three-point jumper..."
Leonard's talent is not outstanding, but he never guessed that Kobe would pass the ball, let alone that Kobe would go crazy with Su Bei. When he missed his first three-point shot, he still chose to believe in Su Bei.
When he turned around and rushed out, he only heard the sound of gunshots.
Swish——!
"Yes!
Su Bei's shot hit.
Well done!
This three-pointer was so cruel that the difference between the two sides became 10 points, leaving the Spurs with less than 6 minutes. The Spurs' defense was not as good as before, and this ball was basically a kill.
game.
I have to say that Su Bei's three-point score is too difficult to withstand.
No wonder Kobe gave up the one-on-two open opportunity and chose to bet that Su Bei’s three-point pistol had bullets..."
There is no three-point shot that cannot be scored. If not, then try the second time!
94 to 104!!
The score difference became 10 points.
Off the court, Bo Povich quickly replaced Gary Neal and Danny Green with Duncan and Ginobili.
Not to mention, Duncan came on the court and immediately hit a solid mid-range two-pointer, stabilizing the situation on the court.
“Very nice entry!
Duncan is so stable. Even though he is old, he can still play well..."
However, what's the use of Duncan's offense no matter how good it is?
His defense is no longer at the level of dominating the game.
Looking back, after three threats, Kobe broke through Leonard, reached the penalty area, withdrew from Duncan's block, and forced a pull-up fadeaway jumper...
Swish——!
"Gone!
The game can be said to be over!
Kobe was too strong. Duncan and Leonard, two generations of the Spurs teamed up to defend Kobe, but the little gap that Kobe could use his ability to stay in the air was wiped out.
With Kobe's goal, the point difference between the two sides was still 10 points, but time had passed.
The problem for the Spurs now is not how to score, but how to defend..."
Outside the court, Bo Povich looked at it and shook his head, knowing that it would be difficult to overturn the game in the next few minutes.
On the court, Ginobili broke through, used Diaw's cover to get rid of Subei's defense, rushed to the penalty area, broke through with a lost step, caused a foul on Gasol, and also threw the basketball towards the basket.
Bang-dang——!
The basketball was on top of the basket, turned half a circle, and still fell out.
"What a pity!
Ginobili's demonic sword has every chance of winning 2+1.
It's a pity that Ginobili is also old. If he were two or three years younger, this ball would definitely be a chance to hit a three-pointer.
This is an excellent opportunity for the Spurs to close the point difference.
If the 3-pointer is successful, come back and defend another one, and Duncan will hit another one..."
horrible!
This Spurs team is too scary.
However, from the beginning, the Spurs were unable to score 3 points.
Although Ginobili scored in front of Su Bei, he only got two points from the free throw line.
Looking back, Paul stood up and used the same pick-and-roll tactics. Then, he stopped suddenly, jumped up, and took a two-point shot...
Swish——!
"too difficult!
The Lakers' personal offensive ability is too strong.
Gasol assisted or attacked the basket with his back, Su Bei's three-point shot, Kobe's breakthrough attack, and now Paul's pull-up after the pick-and-roll...
How many points can the Spurs score on offense? Looking back, the Lakers immediately responded offensively. What can you use to top it up..."
Off the court, Mike Brown clenched his fists in celebration.
He had never fought so richly.
In the past, there was only one mode "defend with bread, attack James".
Now there are 4 "James", so what if there is no "bread"?
How could he lose such a rich game? He wanted to write a book!
Bang-dang——!
"Leonard was blocked by Kobe and chose to hit a three-pointer after being blocked.
Kobe predicted it and successfully dodged it.
Leonard's movements are like a robot, so unsmooth.
As a result, if you fail to steal the chicken, you will lose the rice, if you fail to commit the foul, you will not make the three-pointer..."
…
"Ginobili and Diaw were in the pick-and-roll.
From outside the three-point line, Ginobili was empty and he shot.
Swish——!
Beautiful, the demon sword is so powerful.
The Lakers' defense shrunk, and there was only one Su Bei. No matter how good the defense was, it couldn't prevent the cooperation of the two.
Spurs still have a chance...
Looking back, Kobe Leonard fouled, causing Leonard to commit his fifth foul. When he was about to graduate, he also got a free throw opportunity. Although the Spurs' three-pointer tactics were successful, they still had to pay back defensively.
2 points..."
In the fourth quarter of the game, the Spurs' offense was full of firepower. With Leonard's explosive performance, Duncan's steady performance, and Ginobili's monster attack, they scored 35 points in a single quarter.
However, focusing on offense, the Lakers scored 29 points on defense.
In the first three quarters of the game, the Spurs dug a hole of 12 points.
Sure enough, just relying on defense is impossible, absolutely impossible to recover.
Especially the opponent is the F4 level Lakers.
Buzz——!
As the buzzer sounded and the red light sounded, the full game time ended, with the score 112 to 118. The Lakers had the last laugh with a 6-point advantage, taking a 1-0 lead in the Western Conference Finals.
Leonard made 8 of 12 shots, 4 of 6 three-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, and scored 22 points and 3 rebounds.
Parker made 9 of 14 shots and 2 of 2 free throws, scoring 20 points and 11 assists, a double-double.
Duncan made 6 of 12 shots, 2 of 2 free throws, and scored 14 points, 10 rebounds and 5 assists. He also performed well.
Ginobili made 5 of 9 shots, 2 of 5 three-pointers, and 3 of 3 free throws. He scored 15 points, 5 rebounds, and 3 assists. There is still gas in the tank.
Coupled with 10 points from Gary Neal and Danny Green, the Spurs had six players scoring in double figures, and their offensive firepower was definitely very brave.
However, for the Lakers, Kobe was 35, Su Bei was 31, Paul was 22, and Gasol was 18.
The four players scored 106 points together. There are too many subjects that can be scored.
The Spurs are flourishing more, but the top scorer is the explosive Leonard. He only focuses on offense and there is no competition at all.
