17:5, this is the score of both sides within a few minutes.
During this period, the Spurs only made two goals. At the critical moment, all the team's players failed, and even the free throws missed.
The situation reversed and the situation suddenly changed. The two teams that were evenly matched just now, after the Spurs replaced one player, the situation on the field turned completely upside down.
The Los Angeles Lakers are not a team with perfect tactics, but the Lakers have proved with facts that as long as the individual players are strong enough and there are enough individually strong players, then they can change everything.
Naturally, the faces of the Spurs players were not good-looking, and Vicki had an angry look on his face. He did not imagine that Chen Feng was already so indispensable to the Spurs.
Especially in the playoffs, in such a fierce competition, Chen Feng, who controls the team's offensive power, is absolutely different whether he is in the team or not. What he can't imagine is that this team has become like this.
.
The Spurs will always be the Spurs. **Vitch does not allow this team to be absolutely dependent on a certain star, but obviously, the team has changed now, but this is not what **Vitch needs to consider now.
When the first half ended, the Los Angeles Lakers led the Spurs by 10 points, 62:52.
In the second quarter, the Spurs only scored 18 points, while the Lakers scored 34 points. This result made Spurs coach **Vicci very angry.
A ten-point difference at half-time does not mean that the Spurs lost the game. In fact, the Spurs' hope of winning is still not small.
But now, the team has been unable to open up the situation, which is not what **Vicci does not want to see.
During the halftime break, **Vicci said seriously to Chen Feng and others: "I know that Chen is our core and he is very important to us, but he is also a human being and he needs to rest. But what about you? I don't
I saw something satisfying about your performance just now, and I don’t want to see this again. So, in the second half of the game, you must go all out and try to get a good start in the semi-finals. You are great.
Players, I want to believe in you, so you must also believe in yourself. Come on, go and win this game."
After a few words of reproach, **Vicci still gave them a few words of encouragement. Now they just focus on their responsibilities. It won't do much good for the team's morale. On the contrary, it may be counterproductive.
After the second half of the game started, the Spurs resumed their starting lineup.
This is already the Spurs' lineup that is almost good at attacking. The ten-point gap has almost pushed the Spurs into a desperate situation. The Lakers' offense is terrifying for any team.
Slowly dribbling the ball towards the half court, Chen Feng's heart was filled with confusion. At this level of the game, it was definitely not a problem of one or two people. The coach's temporary substitution was indeed a big mistake. What's more serious is that,
The morale of the team, when they were unable to stop the Lakers' fast break, several Spurs players already had the idea of giving up. They watched the opponents easily shuttle around them one by one, constantly running and hitting their own basket.
, such psychological pressure can be imagined.
The veterans are okay, but especially the newcomers, such as Jordan Hill, Wesley Johnson, etc.!
In order to regain the lost points, the most important thing at present is to rekindle the fighting spirit of teammates. Nothing can boost morale on the court more than scoring. A beautiful score is definitely more tangible than a successful defense.
When his teammates were obviously out of shape, the burden of scoring naturally had to be shouldered by himself. I remembered the encouraging look in Coach Vicki's eyes before going on the field. Although he didn't say it, Chen Feng still understood the look in his eyes.
the meaning contained.
The next ball is the top priority of the game. As long as the ball can be sent into the basket beautifully, there is still room for success in this game. If it fails again, the morale of the army will undoubtedly suffer another setback. If you want to score the score
Getting it back is undoubtedly a pipe dream.
Kobe's attention has always been on Chen Feng. With his understanding of Chen Feng and Chen Feng's super reading ability of the game, he must know the importance of the following goal to the Spurs.
Now the Spurs' outside shooters have almost lost their self-confidence as a shooter. For a shooter, self-confidence is the most important. It is even higher than luck. Luck can accompany you for a while. Only self-confidence belongs to you. If you lack
A confident shooter does not have the ability and courage to make the final decision at the critical moment of the game.
Although Duncan has been trying to counterattack, he lacks the support of outside players and Al Jefferson's defense that dare not relax at all, allowing him to focus more on getting stuck under the basket and protecting rebounds.
Above, there is no extra energy to devote to the offense.
What's more important is that the Lakers' quick rotation defense completely cut off the Spurs' communication inside and outside, making it difficult to pass the ball in.
The most fiercely competitive place on the basketball court is the penalty area under the backboard. You don't have the advantage just because of your good skills and good health under the basket. The cooperation of your teammates and the control of time are indispensable.
The Spurs don't feel good about passing the ball from outside. After receiving the ball, it is difficult for Derrick Favors to find a comfortable shooting position. When he keeps adjusting his position and looking for opportunities to shoot, the Lakers' inside line is already targeting him.
We took preventive measures to attack, but in the end, time was wasted.
Having made up his mind, Chen Feng no longer had any hesitation in his heart. Looking at Kobe a few steps away in front of him, Chen Feng felt a hundred times more confident.
I have always been deeply afraid of Kobe's defense, but I am already familiar with his defense, and I can break through beautifully.
But things are far from that simple. In a team like the Lakers that is both offensive and defensive, apart from Kobe, there will naturally be remedial measures.
At this time, Kobe did not dare to slack off. Logically speaking, one or two goals could not shake their leading position.
But only they know the pain in their hearts. The Lakers are balanced inside and outside, but the team's inside line is good, but the outside line is too old. Kobe knows very well that if he wants to win the championship, it will only be this year.
Although there was still a smile on Chen Feng's lips, there was no smile in his eyes. His cold eyes seemed to read through his opponent's thoughts.
However, Kobe, as the person involved, had a different feeling. Chen Feng's eyes showed confidence and persistence. On the surface, the focus of his eyes was on himself, but he clearly felt that Chen Feng was through his body.
, there is only one persistent goal, and that is the basket.
This is a very wonderful feeling. The reason why Kobe feels this way is because there is an indescribable look in Chen Feng's eyes. He can't tell clearly for the moment, but one thing is very clear to him. Chen Feng must want to do it with his own hands.
Put the basketball in your hand into the basket.
Chen Feng dribbled the ball very slowly, but it gave people a very stable feeling. The Lakers players did not steal the ball rashly. With Chen Feng's expression, one can imagine the possibility of his carelessness. In Chen Feng's case,
In the hands of such an excellent ball control expert, unless he breaks through at the slightest moment, there will be the slightest loophole in the defense in his hands, and it is possible for the opponent to intercept the ball.
As the two of them got closer, Kobe felt the persistence in Chen Feng's eyes more and more. He squatted down slightly and spread his arms slightly. He secretly made a decision in his heart that he would stop this ball no matter what. Even if there was no other way, he would stop the ball.
To stop him completely, you also need to buy time for your teammates to make up defense.
He is almost certain that Chen Feng will not choose to pass the ball. Although this style of play is quite contrary to Chen Feng's character, many people do not think that Chen Feng's singles play has anything to do with special circumstances.
Problem, on the contrary, it is a wise move.
He slapped the ball hard twice, all the muscles in his body tensed instantly, his sharp eyes tightened instantly, and his indomitable momentum was reflected from his body.
Kobe, who was the first to feel this momentum, felt the same way.
When Chen Feng broke through from Kobe, his sharp reflexes allowed him to react immediately, but the reaction of his hands and feet was always a step late.
Chen Feng hit a pull-up jumper, but Al Jefferson was always a step behind on defense.
But you can't blame him. He never thought that Kobe could be broken through so easily. However, although Kobe's defense is good, as he gets older, Kobe's defensive speed is declining! But his excellent defensive experience, as well as
The spirit of surrender cannot be easily broken through like this.
**Vicci finally sat back in his seat. His butt had never touched the seat in just half an hour. The moment the ball went into the basket, he saw the renewed fighting spirit among the Spurs players.
How can the lost morale be regained in a short time? The Lakers' tactics are still a bit difficult for the Spurs to deal with. Fortunately, Chen Feng's appearance has greatly reduced the pressure on Derrick Favors in the paint.
, two singles at critical moments held the score tightly and did not allow the Lakers to continue to open up the score.
**Vicci is quite satisfied with the current situation on the court. Although other players have not scored yet, they are gradually returning to normal defensively. The Lakers' offense has been going smoothly so far, but it is far from as easy as the second quarter.
comfortable.
He is waiting for an opportunity. So far, the Lakers' physical problems have been vaguely unsustainable. However, with D'Antoni's several substitutions, the problem is not a big one, and the Lakers' offense has hardly produced anything.
Influence.
Al Jefferson moved to the outside to block, Steve Nash slipped to the baseline, adjusted his posture, tried to make his hand feel as soft as possible, and hit the ball with a beautiful shooting posture. (To be continued...)
