Chapter 207 Mike Brown's Stubborn Chapter

Seeing that the Spurs had changed into the main lineup, Mike Brown did not dare to hesitate and immediately let Bynum, Ci Shiping, and Ramon Sessions play at the same time. After the second quarter, the Lakers were 48

-43, leading the opponent by 5 points.

Domestically, this game was jointly commented by Meteor Rain and Zhang Weiping.

"Director Zhang, the Lakers led by 5 points at halftime. Does this mean the Lakers played well tonight?" Meteor Show took advantage of the intermission to ask Zhang Weiping.

"I think the Lakers actually didn't play well," Zhang Weiping said.

"Oh? Director Zhang, can you tell me why?" Meteor Rain said.

"Looking at the scene, the Lakers are temporarily leading the Spurs by 5 points. But looking at the Lakers' technical statistics, the team's shooting percentage in the entire second quarter was only 40.9%, which is far behind the Spurs' 48%.

.In fact, if you exclude Matt Barnes’ shooting percentage, the Lakers’ team shooting percentage is only 19.2%. With this kind of overall sluggish shooting percentage, if you want to win, the situation is actually not good.

optimism."

"But the Lakers are still leading the score." Meteor Rain said.

Zhang Weiping shook his head and said: "We are still leading for the time being, firstly because of Matt Barnes' extraordinary performance, and secondly because of Andrew Bynum's rebounding. Maybe you didn't notice that Andrew Bynum was in the first half

Already grabbed 19 rebounds in the game, including 8 offensive rebounds and 11 backcourt rebounds. If not for this, the Spurs would have suppressed the Lakers in terms of score." Zhang Weiping took a breath,

He continued: "But it's strange to say that Duncan only grabbed 1 rebound in the entire first half. This is obviously not in line with common sense."

"Yes, I have also seen that this kind of rebounding data is obviously not the true level of 'Stone Buddha' Duncan." Meteor Rain said.

"So." Zhang Weiping said: "Even though the Lakers are still leading by 5 points, you can't keep pointing at Matt Barnes's shooting and Andrew Bynum's rebounds! Once the two of them

If the data returns to normal, that will be the time for the Spurs to make a comeback."

ESPN Live Room.

"Oh~ Gentlemen, it seems that your predictions are inaccurate." Rachel Nix said.

"The game is just over halfway now. I don't think the Lakers' luck can last the whole game." Bill Walton said.

"Yes, I think so too." Dana Altman agreed: "And a five-point advantage is not that big, is it?"

"Well, since both of you insist on your opinions, let's wait and see." Rachel Nix said.

San Antonio locker room.

"You don't need to care about the score, it's just the Lakers' luck." Gregg Popovich said calmly: "We just need to continue to attack and defend according to normal training, and when their luck runs out,

That’s when we take the lead.”

"Also, Tim..." Gregg Popovich turned to look at San Antonio No. 21 and said: "It's time to grab your rebound."

"Well, I understand." Spurs No. 21 just nodded lightly when he heard this, neither shouting nor being silent.

The Lakers locker room is a different story.

"Everyone performed very well. Keep up the good work and let us win the first place in the Western Conference!" Mike Brown said these words to the Lakers starter. He has been under a lot of coaching pressure recently, so he is in urgent need of a game.

The victory of "the weak defeating the strong" will calm the opinions of the outside world.

There is nothing to say. He does not have the calm and calm concentration of "Zen Master" Jackson.

So being in the "maelstrom" of Los Angeles, his mentality is easily affected.

After that, Mike Brown arranged some more "innocent" tactics, but Tang Qian heard what he said:

That is to continue to die. Fuck the main starter!

At the beginning of the third quarter, both sides slowly entered the state. With Tim Duncan's performance, An's rebounding skills dropped sharply. Most of the quarter passed, but he only got a pitiful rebound. On the other hand, "Shi

"Buddha" Duncan scored 9, and his personal rebound data instantly reached double digits. In fact, the Spurs, like the Lakers, have an "aging" trend in their starting lineup. Look at the GDP combination, except for Tony Parker.

Everyone else is older than Kobe. But fortunately, their head coach is Gregg Popovich. Popovich’s 12-man rotation strategy began to take off in the second half of the third quarter.

It worked. When the GDP combination came back on the court after enough rest, the Lakers' starting lineup was a little overwhelmed.

Why?

Because my physical strength is somewhat lacking.

Needless to say, Kobe Bryant and Gasol didn’t have much rest in this game compared to now. Bynum is too heavy and is not physically strong in the first place. Ci Shiping was also beaten by Kawhi Lun.

Nader was entangled and consumed a lot of energy. Therefore, after calculation, Ramon Sessions still has enough energy. But his opponent is Tony Parker, who has won three championships, one FMVP, and four

A quasi-superstar of the All-Star Game, Sessions didn't dare to distract himself from Parker at all, and he couldn't even talk about supporting other teammates. As a result, the Lakers' ball became more and more difficult to play.

The leading score was quickly eroded away.

75-75, this is the total score of the two teams after three quarters. It seems to be a tie, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Lakers are no longer as powerful as the San Antonio Spurs. In fact, if Kobe hadn't made a pressure shot at the last moment,

With a three-point buzzer, the Lakers should be in a lagging position now.

The situation is becoming increasingly unfavorable for Los Angeles.

Of course, Mike Brown also discovered this, but what can he do? Remove the main players to rest? That will definitely lead to the game being taken away in a wave, so he can only bite the bullet and continue to let the starting lineup stay on the court.

.

This is the difference between a 12-man lineup rotation and an 8-man lineup rotation. If the main starting players are still young, it doesn't matter, but once they get older, the disadvantages will quickly appear. The physical problem gradually changes for the Lakers.

It became a heavy knot, but Mike Brown did not have the ability, or the courage, to remove it.

ESPN Live Room.

"I've said it before, it will be difficult for the Lakers to win tonight. Their main starting players all have physical problems of varying degrees," Bill Walton said.

"That's right." Dana Altman nodded and said: "Look at the main playing time of the two teams, the Lakers' Kobe Bryant 31 minutes, Gasol 30 minutes, Bynum 28 minutes, Ci Shiping 25 minutes,

Sessions had 24 minutes. As for the Spurs, Tim Duncan had 19 minutes, Tony Parker had 20 minutes, Danny Green had 19 minutes, Kawhi Leonard had 16 minutes, and DeJuan Blair had 11 minutes. The rest

In the fourth quarter, the deciding game, the starting lineup will definitely increase their intensity. In this way, the playing time of most of the Lakers' main players will exceed the 35-minute mark. Even Kobe and Gasol will exceed the 40-minute mark.

mark." Dana Altman shook his head and said: "If this is a young man in his 20s, I think it's okay, but Kobe will be 34 in four months, and Gasol will be soon.

I don't think it's wise to squeeze them so hard at 32 years old. After all, this is just a regular season, right?"

"It's too late." Bill Walton said: "As a college coach, you may not have much time to watch the NBA regular season. I have been paying attention to the Lakers this season and found that their record is almost based on

Obtained on the basis of overdrafting the main players. Why do we say this? First, look at the Lakers. Kobe Bryant’s average playing time is 38.5 minutes. Then look at others, Gasol’s average playing time is 37.4 minutes, Bynum’s.

35.2 minutes, Ci Shiping 26.9 minutes, Ramon Sessions 30.5 minutes. Among the entire starting lineup, 4 players played more than 30 minutes, and 3 players played more than 35 minutes. Looking at the Spurs, except

Tony Parker has played 32+ minutes, and the rest of the players have played less than 30 minutes. Judging from a game, it may just be a matter of whether the starting lineup is tired or not, but looking at a season, it is overdraft and damage to the team.

The disadvantages. If we continue to struggle like this, the energy reserve of the starting lineup will be exhausted before the Lakers make it to the playoffs."

Bill Walton said: "So it is not unfounded for ESPN to look down on them this year."

"Mike Brown has been tied up by external forces from Los Angeles." Dana Altman, who is also the head coach, suddenly said something.

AT&T Center, Lakers bench.

"Everyone cheer up. Now that the two sides are tied, it's just a matter of getting back on the starting line! As long as we defend well and contain the opponent's offense, we will definitely win the away game!" Mike Brown said enthusiastically.

Cheer up, but Tang Qian sounds like he is not very nutritious. Because what the Lakers have to solve now is not the defensive end, but the offensive end. The low offensive success rate is the key to the team's difficulty.

"Coach Brown, I think we should withdraw the main players now and let them take a break, otherwise everyone will be exhausted in the last five minutes." Tang Qian couldn't stand it anymore, so he interrupted.

But the effect was "unexpected".

After hearing this, Mike Brown turned his head and looked at Tang Qian, pushed up his glasses and said: "Hot, now is the critical moment. After replacing the main lineup, who will go up to compete with the Spurs? Could it be... do I have to rely on you?"

"That's not what I meant, Coach Brown, it's just about the physical distribution of the main players..." Before Tang Qian could finish speaking, he was interrupted sharply by Mike Brown, saying: "That's enough! I'm the head coach of the team.

Know how to allocate playing time!”

"The lineup will be Bryant, Sessions, Pease, Gasol, and Bynum."

"Everyone, please work harder! We must win this game tonight!" Mike Brown said with a stubborn and ferocious expression as he looked at the scorer above his head.
