The second half started quickly. The Lakers were still the main lineup from the beginning, while the Spurs made some adjustments to the lineup. Bruce Bowen was still at the small forward position, and there were no adjustments in the interior. The point guard position
, Tony Parker sat on the sidelines at the beginning of the second half, and his replacement at point guard was Argentinian Manu Ginobili.
In fact, compared to Tony Parker, Manu Ginobili is undoubtedly more of a point guard. Although Tony Parker plays the position of point guard, he really doesn't have the ability to organize the team. It seems that
He doesn't have that idea. When he is on the court, he relies more on his sharp breakthroughs to disrupt the opponent's defense in order to help the team's offense. Although he has a few assists, they are probably all
After breaking through to the baseline, he found that he had no chance to attack the basket and pass back the assist received by Duncan. The reason why he is in the point guard position is largely due to his height. In addition to this position, on the court
There is no other position suitable for him.
As for Manu Ginobili, although he is also a point guard who focuses on breakthroughs and offense. But in terms of experience and understanding of tactics, Manu Ginobili is obviously better than Tony Parker.
. In particular, Ginobili's current condition is obviously much better than Parker's.
When Manu Ginobili appeared at the point guard position, the Spurs' offense immediately seemed smoother. However, although the offense was adjusted, the backward situation faced by the Spurs did not improve very much.
, because the Spurs still couldn't contain the Lakers' offense.
Under Bruce Bowen's defense, Adrian was completely activated. And the result of Adrian's activation was that Tim Duncan had to guard most of the inside.
He focused more on Adrian and on covering up defense for Bruce Bowen. When Duncan focused more on Adrian, inside, Odom and Kwame Brown
was let go.
"Bang!" Kwame Brown was high up, ravaging the basket with a fierce look on his face. After landing, he didn't forget to yell loudly at Duncan.
Kwame Brown played quite well today. By the middle of the third quarter, he had already scored 16 points and 8 rebounds, and was looking at a double-double. In terms of defense, he also performed very well. Of course, he could not completely defend.
Living with Tim Duncan, no one expected Duncan to be guarded by the Lakers. However, he did cause a lot of trouble to Duncan in terms of defense. With his strong strength and solid chassis, his top defense
It didn't give Duncan many chances to score easily. Although it still couldn't prevent Duncan from scoring, it successfully prevented Duncan from scoring consecutively and prevented him from scoring alone. It drove the entire Spurs.
Adrian felt that he played very smoothly today, and Bruce Bowen couldn't guard him at all. The physical gap between the two was really too big. As long as he leaned against Bowen, hit him hard backwards and then forced
If he turns around, Bowen will most likely be successfully stuck behind him and pass directly by.
This time it was almost exactly the same. Adrian bumped back hard. He could feel that Bruce Bowen was unsteady on his feet after the confrontation with him. Then just like before, Adrian turned around with a big stride.
With his slightly open arms, Bowen was directly stuck behind him. He took a step with the ball, jumped slightly, raised his hand and threw the basketball.
"Two points." Adrian thought, his shot felt very smooth, and he firmly believed that the ball would roll smoothly into the basket. At this moment, a force suddenly came from behind, Ah
Adrian suddenly felt a pair of hands pushing hard on his lower back. The force was so strong that Adrian could not control his body at all.
"Oops, how could I forget? Bruce Bowen, that bastard..." Adrian reluctantly turned his head and widened his eyes. He could see clearly that there was a hint of pride in the lowered corner of Bruce Bowen's mouth.
sneer!
Bang!
Adrian smashed straight into the press box behind the basketball hoop, causing everyone behind the basketball hoop to flip over.
"You bastard!"
It happened too suddenly. Adrian ran directly into the press box. Most people didn't understand how this happened. Only Kwame Brown, who was standing closest to the basket, saw it.
Very clearly, he clearly saw Bruce Bowen reaching out and pushing Adrian.
So, the furious Kwame Brown rushed directly towards Bruce Bowen.
After the incident happened, Bowen immediately pretended to be innocent. He looked surprised and explained his behavior to the referee in a panic. As far as acting skills are concerned, it is definitely a movie-level performance. The referee at this time
He also noticed Kwame Brown rushing towards him, and quickly blew the whistle to signal Kwame Brown to stop.
But it was too late. Kwame Brown, who was blinded by anger, could not be stopped by the whistle. He rushed directly towards Bowen and stretched out his hand to push Bowen hard. The difference in strength between the two was huge.
Coupled with the fact that Bowen was unprepared and possibly part of the idea of acting to win sympathy, Bowen was pushed and flew out, following Adrian's footsteps and rolling into the press box.
"Wow~!!"
It was like cold water poured into boiling oil, and the AT&A Center immediately exploded. The crazy abuse and boos made the entire stadium tremble, as if to remind some people that this is the Spurs.
Home field.
Kwame Brown's behavior acted as a trigger.
Players from the Spurs and Lakers collided violently, pushing and yelling at each other.
Phil Jackson stood up suddenly and was about to walk into the court, but in the next moment, he calmed down and shouted loudly to the court, asking other players to pull Kwame Brown down first. This man's eyes were red.
The black guy, if he continues to be on the court, who knows what he will do! At the same time, he quickly signaled the team doctor to come on. After all, Adrian is one of the most important personnel of the Lakers.
His health status is directly related to the performance of the Lakers, not only this season, but also next season, the season after that, and even for a long time.
**Vicci was also yelling on the sidelines, yelling for the players to calm down and not to do extreme actions.
The head coaches on both sides maintained restraint, and they were both very authoritative figures in the team. The players on both sides naturally calmed down quickly. (To be continued...)
ps: I will update two thousand today. When I get up in the afternoon, I will see if I can update another chapter.
