While the Spurs attack, the Lakers' defensive strategy remains unchanged for the time being.
Ginobili was not polite to them and shot directly from outside the three-point line.
The ball goes in.
14 to 9.
In the 2005-06 season, he averaged only 3 three-pointers per game, which increased to 4.3 last season and 6 this season.
This is more or less influenced by Zhang Zhiyuan.
After other teams saw the tactical effect of three-pointers, they couldn't help but increase the proportion of three-pointers.
After the ball was scored, the Lakers were unable to counterattack quickly.
Entering the positional battle, the Spurs were able to defend calmly.
Zhang Zhiyuan attracted the defense from the outside, Kobe received the ball from the inside and pushed it to the basket, Bowen made a defense, Kobe shot the ball, Odom caught the ball and shot, and the ball went in.
Although the ball was scored, the Spurs players didn't pay much attention.
Their strategy is to reduce the efficiency of Kobe Bryant and Zhang Zhiyuan, while the rest of the Lakers can only be released to a limited extent.
If the Lakers' role players perform well, then they'll admit it.
You can't have your cake and eat it too, and Popovich can't guard everyone.
When the Spurs attacked, the Lakers changed their strategy and no longer defended the zone.
Although Jackson's arrangement is a zone defense, players also need to make their own judgments.
Right now the Spurs have three three-pointers, and it would be unreasonable to defend the zone any longer.
The Lakers went man-to-man.
But in this case, the defense inside will inevitably become empty.
Parker began to make a bold breakthrough. After passing Fisher, the road ahead was smooth for him.
It was useless for Odom to cover up the defense. Parker was too fast and got to the basket before he was in place and made a throw-in.
16 to 11.
During the transition between offense and defense, Zhang Zhiyuan relied on his excellent running skills to get rid of Ginobili, and then caught the ball and shot.
The ball goes in.
16 to 14.
This is purely personal ability, and it is the biggest headache for the Spurs.
The Spurs attack, this time Ginobili breaks through.
It's a pity that he was delayed by Zhang Zhiyuan's defense. After he passed Zhang Zhiyuan, there was another Odom on his way forward.
Ginobili scores the ball.
Mike Finley hit a long two-pointer, hitting the ball with Bryant's interference.
Spurs fans were immediately discouraged.
There was a 5-point lead, but it was gone in the blink of an eye.
The Lakers attacked, and Zhang Zhiyuan made another three-point shot, but was interfered by Ginobili.
The ball didn't go in.
The Spurs counterattacked, Bowen, Ginobili and others were running wildly, trying to get easy shooting opportunities.
The Lakers guarded hard, but it was useless. They eventually made a mistake and Bowen slipped to the corner again.
Then Bowen took action.
The tactics worked, but unfortunately the ball didn't go in.
There is nothing we can do about this.
During the transition between offense and defense, Zhang Zhiyuan and Odom failed to pick and roll, and Ginobili did not lose track.
Seeing this, Fisher simply passed the ball to Kobe. Kobe tried to break through, but was intercepted by Finley.
Kobe reluctantly chose to make a strong shot.
Their tactics didn't work out, but the ball went in.
Basketball is so unreasonable sometimes.
Popovich was speechless watching from the sidelines.
The Spurs attacked, and after Duncan grabbed the position under the basket, he took the initiative to ask for the ball.
Parker passed the ball, and Duncan hit Bynum alone, shook Bynum away with his feet, and then took two steps to put the basketball into the basket.
If this had been the case when he was young, a top ten dunk would have been indispensable.
"At critical moments, you still have to look at the performance of the stars. The stars are more important than tactics."
Buckley made a controversial point.
Which is more important, tactics or the players' personal abilities?
The Lakers attacked, and Jackson made the first substitution.
He replaced Zhang Zhiyuan and Bynum with Ariza and Kwame Brown.
This is to prepare to use Kobe and Zhang Zhiyuan in a staggered manner, which is a regular routine of the Lakers.
Then Popovich also replaced Ginobili, and he also had to save some strength to deal with Zhang Zhiyuan. It was too risky to let the substitute guard Zhang Zhiyuan. Maybe Zhang Zhiyuan would throw in three or four three-pointers with a small burst. Who could
Can't stand it.
The game continued, and Kobe took over the Lakers' offense and scored two goals in a row.
However, the Spurs made adjustments right after, and Kobe made three more shots in a row.
2 out of 5, which is not particularly bad.
But the problem is that the Spurs' offense was relatively efficient during this period. They relied on tactical coordination and made 4 of 5 shots.
Ever since, the point difference has been widened again.
Kobe can only act anxiously and then play more stubbornly in singles.
After the first quarter, 29 to 23, the Spurs already led by 6 points.
This is a big advantage. As long as we maintain this performance, we can win the game.
"Old but not stiff, I'm talking about the Spurs."
Zhang Lili commented.
"They and the Pistons are the most typical team basketball. The whole team can't find anyone over 20, but their record is very good."
Sun Zhengping said.
"There are no 20-year-olds on the Celtics."
Zhang Lili said.
Although there is no one who scores 20 points in the Celtics, it is difficult to say that they play team basketball. They also rely on the individual abilities of their stars to win.
The rest period is over and the next quarter begins.
On the Lakers side are Farmar, Zhang Zhiyuan, Ariza, Hayes, and Kwame Brown.
The Spurs are much shabby here, Vaughn, Ginobili, Amy Uduka, Horry, Matt Bonner.
This kind of substitute lineup ranks among the bottom in the league.
The Lakers attacked first, and Zhang Zhiyuan was double-teamed by Ginobili and Uduka.
Obviously, this is the defensive strategy of their bench lineup.
Farmar passed the ball to Ariza, who made a three-pointer and hit the ball.
Partnering with Zhang Zhiyuan, Ariza got a lot of good opportunities, shot a lot, and even shot with confidence.
This season, his three-point shooting percentage is as high as 38.3%. Although it is not excellent, it is not solid either. Coupled with his good defense, he has now completely defeated Walton and is one of the team's most important substitutes.
one.
Seeing Ariza hit the ball, Popovich couldn't help but frown.
The Spurs attacked and Matt Bonner hit a long two-pointer.
Kwame Brown was not guarded, so Bonner shot easily.
The ball goes in.
During the transition between offense and defense, Uduka hesitated, not knowing whether to help double-team.
Zhang Zhiyuan has already started running, and Ginobili is chasing him.
As soon as Zhang Zhiyuan ran around, a loophole appeared in the Spurs' defense.
Farmar broke through to the basket and prepared for a layup.
Unfortunately, the Spurs were full of people inside, so Farmar forced his shot and missed.
"This guy doesn't know how to wait any longer? Looking for an opportunity to pass it to Zhang?"
Lakers fans were somewhat dissatisfied with Farmar's choice.
The Spurs attacked, but Bonner wanted to repeat his old tricks. Hayes made up the defense and didn't give Bonner another chance.
Bonner shot the iron.
During the transition between offense and defense, Zhang Zhiyuan threw away Ginobili and received the pass.
Then he rushed to the basket, Uduka helped defend, and Horry made up the defense.
Zhang Zhiyuan passed the ball while traveling, and Hayes, who was ignored, took the ball and hit two points.
Hayes took very few shots, but his shooting percentage was very high.
Almost every shot he takes is open, and he will never throw if there is no open space.
The Spurs attacked, Ginobili was stared at by Zhang Zhiyuan, and others still couldn't open up the situation.
The Spurs once again wasted an offensive round.
The Lakers counterattacked. Zhang Zhiyuan attracted the attention of the Spurs after receiving the ball, and then passed the ball to Ariza. Ariza took off from the mid-range and hit again.
After the two sides played for several rounds, the Spurs took the lead and replaced Parker and Finley.
It wouldn't work without a change. In just 3 minutes, the Lakers achieved a lead under the leadership of Zhang Zhiyuan.
This is a very dangerous signal.
When the Spurs attacked, Parker took advantage of Farmar and broke through to the basket very easily.
Kwame Brown had no choice but to foul and send Parker to the free throw line.
Parker made two free throws and the Lakers suffered a blood loss.
Jackson was not in a hurry to make substitutions. He was much calmer than Popovich.
The Lakers counterattacked and Zhang Zhiyuan was double-teamed.
Farmar passed the ball to Ariza, and Finley made up the defense.
Then Ariza passed it to Hayes, and Hayes didn't have a good chance and passed it back to Zhang Zhiyuan.
Zhang Zhiyuan saw that the shot time was almost running out, so he simply made a three-pointer.
If you can hit the best, you will lose if you don't hit.
The ball goes in.
Spurs fans immediately jumped in anger.
Zhang Zhiyuan's blindly throwing three-point tactics disgusted them deeply.
Obviously the team has defended very well, but still can't defend, which can easily lead to despair.
When the Spurs attacked, they relied on teamwork to create a gap again.
Finley caught the ball and threw a three-pointer.
Also enter.
Then Jackson replaced Kobe and Bynum.
Kobe, who had had enough rest, was very active in asking for the ball as soon as he came on the court, and then easily squeezed out of Mike Finley, gained space to shoot, and made a two-pointer.
Upon seeing this, Popovich immediately replaced Duncan.
At this time, he can only rely on Duncan.
When the Spurs attacked, Duncan attracted Bynum and Hayes under the basket. Robert Horry got an easy opportunity. After receiving the ball, he took two steps toward the basket and put the ball into the basket.
During the transition between offense and defense, Zhang Zhiyuan asked for the ball from the outside.
Because Zhang Ke was on the court at the same time, the Spurs couldn't double-team.
After receiving the ball, Zhang Zhiyuan pretended to break through, but then stepped back and shot a three-pointer.
The ball went in and Ginobili couldn't guard it.
Seeing that Zhang Zhiyuan's touch was recovering, Popovich walked around anxiously off the court.
If Zhang Zhiyuan breaks out, then they have absolutely no hope of winning.
The Spurs attacked and Duncan caught the ball and made a jump shot.
The ball goes in.
39 to 41, the Spurs clung to the score and kept the suspense of the game.
Offensive and defensive transition, Kobe scored.
39 to 43.
No one on the Spurs knows who to focus on guarding.
Then Parker made a mistake in the offense and plunged into the crowd, and the basketball was cut.
The Lakers counterattacked quickly, and Ginobili and others could only retreat desperately.
Unfortunately, it didn't work. Zhang Zhiyuan didn't go to the basket at all. He stopped one step beyond the three-point line and shot a three-pointer directly.
The ball goes in again.
39 to 46.
The Spurs made just one mistake and the team immediately entered a dangerous state.
A 7-point difference is not small.
The Spurs wanted to catch up with the score quickly, but unfortunately their offensive ability was lacking.
Everyone passed the ball to each other, but no one took the initiative to attack, and they had no confidence that they would hit the ball.
In the end, Duncan took over and took the jump shot.
The ball didn't go in, and Spurs fans became even more anxious.
During the transition between offense and defense, Kobe went to the basket and caused a foul on his opponent, making two free throws.
39 to 48.
Popovich reluctantly called a timeout.
"It seems that we still think too much, and the Spurs are no match."
Smith said.
"If the Spurs can't beat them, who can we count on? I think we can only count on the Lakers to perform abnormally, otherwise they will continue to win consecutively."
Barkley boasted.
He now sees no team that has any hope of beating the Lakers.
"The two of them are so invincible together."
Smith said.
"Nonsense, the first and second MVP candidates are on the same team. This is something that has never happened in NBA history."
Buckley said.
Recently, the media announced the latest mvp odds. Kobe Bryant has the lowest odds, followed closely by Zhang Zhiyuan.
Lakers fans felt comfortable hearing these words, but when they thought that Zhang Zhiyuan would most likely leave the Lakers next season, they could only sigh.
The timeout ends and both sides return to the court to fight again.
Unfortunately, the Spurs' situation has not improved significantly.
On the offensive end, they still score points steadily.
Although stable, it lacks explosive power.
On the defensive end, they still couldn't guard against the Gemini combination and steadily lost points.
There was no other way, so the Spurs changed their focus to guard against the Geminis, but others started to explode again.
Fisher and Odom scored 4 points together, which also made the Spurs extremely uncomfortable.
At the end of the first half, 51 to 57, the Lakers reversed course and led by 6 points.
Six points doesn't seem like much, but the Spurs have been unable to reverse it.
In the third quarter, the Spurs showed several signs of overtaking, but the Lakers were able to quell the Spurs' point-chasing momentum in time and controlled the point difference to between 3-10 points.
After the first three quarters, 73 to 82, the Lakers had led by 9 points and continued to expand their advantage.
The Spurs did not give up, and still sent out all their main players in the last quarter, trying to give it a try.
Ginobili and Finley shot three-pointers one after another, wanting to gamble on their touch.
It's a pity that their touch is mediocre, with a total of 2 for 5.
Duncan shot 2 of 4 at the basket, and Parker shot 1 of 2.
It seems that the efficiency is not low, but it is a pity that this efficiency cannot kill the Lakers.
Zhang Zhiyuan made 3 of 5 shots, Kobe Bryant made 3 of 5 shots, and the Spurs lost their temper.
Halfway through the fourth quarter, the score was 87-99, with the Lakers leading by 12 points.
With 6 minutes left, it is theoretically possible to chase 12 points, and the hope is still high.
But Popovich went out of his way to replace gdp.
He felt that there was no chance, so he didn't want to waste the main force's energy anymore, so he surrendered very simply.
This operation left Zhang Zhiyuan speechless and he continued to stay on the court for two minutes. Then he and Kobe also chose to get off work.
If you continue to play, people will question you as you are brushing your data. Although some people still question this, they are not loud at all.
If they continue to play in garbage time, doubts will definitely be overwhelming.
The substitutes of both teams played the last few minutes and the game ended.
100 to 117, the Lakers won the game.
In addition to the suspense in the first half, the Lakers gave the Spurs no more chances in the second half. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Lakers are better than the Spurs.
Unless the Lakers play poorly or the Spurs break out, it's impossible for the Spurs to beat the Lakers.
This season, the Spurs have no hope. Due to various problems, the address has been changed. Please save the new address to avoid getting lost.
