"It's over! The Los Angeles Lakers have overtaken it!" Charles Barkley seemed to be overjoyed, and he almost jumped up and said. Reggie Miller and Kenny Smith were also a little stunned at this moment, and looked at each other.
Because to be honest, they were not optimistic about the Los Angeles Lakers at all in the beginning.
But now, no matter what, the naked reality is before our eyes.
97-96, the Lakers took the lead.
"If this ball can be made free throw, then it will gain a 2-point lead!" Just after Barkley finished speaking, Shaq O'Neal on the side said: "Then he must be able to make free throws. His free throws
I don't think the shooting percentage is very high." "Hey, Shaq, when it comes to free throws, are you qualified to talk about others? They have a shooting percentage of more than 60% in the regular season, right? What about you? When you exceed 60% in your career,
How many times? Only once in 19 years, right? Is there anything to show off?" Charles Barkley said in a good mood: "I really don't know how you shoot free throws. Even an amateur middle school student can probably hit more than this.
?”
When O'Neal heard this, he became a little angry and said: "My career-high free throw shooting percentage is 62.2%. His current highest free throw percentage is only 61%. He is not as good as me. What do you have to be proud of? Besides, I can decide the game without using free throws."
, can you? Can he?" Seeing that these two "enemies" were about to quarrel again, Kenny Smith quickly intervened: "Don't talk about it, Shaq, in this game, he really played a dominant level.
Data. Currently, he has 13 points, 35 rebounds, 11 blocks and 3 assists. Although it seems that the impact on the scoring end is limited, on the defensive end, I think it is strong. Without his inside support, the Lakers would have long ago
He was beaten by the Spurs and became garbage time."
"Yes, this set of data looks very convincing! In fact, I looked at the data of the entire series. Starting from the third game, he entered a state of extraordinary performance! Maybe this state
It was just a temporary outburst, but based on this, I think it will be very difficult for the Lakers to keep him next season without an annual salary of tens of millions." Reggie Miller said: "Lakers general manager Mickey.
Kupchak made a wrong move. If he had signed him for 4 years, no, it took 3 years, he would have made a lot of money."
"This is all God's will!" Charles Barkley said: "There are not many players I like that I can't beat! Hahahaha!"
Hearing this, Kenny Smith and Reggie Miller both looked at it with silent contempt and thought to themselves: You really dare to say that, didn't you just see a good one? How have you seen it correctly before?
The Spurs' home court, the AT&T Center, is now depressing.
People couldn't believe that such a huge score difference had vanished into nothing.
Is it really going to be the same as the year before, and it will be "subjugated" again?
The 2010-2011 playoffs were a lingering pain in the hearts of Holy City fans.
The Lakers' bench area was full of emotions. Head coach Mike D'Antoni kept shouting: "Great job! Everyone did a great job! Now the initiative is in our hands! We just need to work hard! We can defeat them."
Opponent! You will be able to advance to the next round! At that time, you will be the heroes of Luo City! You will all be the heroes of Luo City!"
The other Lakers players also have high confidence, as if the promotion scene is vividly before their eyes.
The Spurs' team was the complete opposite. Their atmosphere was so solemn that it was almost dripping with water.
Finally, Gregg Popovich broke the brief silence and said: "What's wrong? Have you all given up? Is this your championship aspirations?" After that, he looked at everyone and said
: "If this is the case, we can go back to the locker room early. Anyway, we have to pack our bags and go home to fish."
No one from the Spurs said a word.
"The opponent is only leading by 1 point. Even the extra penalty shot by No. 29 is only a 2-point goal. On the basketball court, what is a 2-point goal? It's not a football game?" Popovich suddenly improved.
A loud voice said: "Being reversed by 30 points is not terrible. What is terrible is that we lost the game in the end and lost our confidence."
"Believe me, if you win this game, no one in the outside world will care whether the Lakers have caught up by 30 or 40 points. So I think the time to be nailed on the pillar of shame has not yet arrived.
Let's see if you...are willing to change." After Popovich said, someone sat on the bench and said: "Sir, of course we don't want to be nailed to the pillar of shame! Of course we don't want to lose! Especially
Lost to this year’s Los Angeles Lakers!”
"Okay!" Popovich took advantage of the situation and said, "Since you don't want to, then show some attitude."
"Tim! Do you still have energy?"
Duncan nodded slightly.
"Tony! Can you still sprint with all your strength?"
Parker nodded and said, "Of course, sir."
"Manu! What about you? Can you still become a 'demon sword'?"
Ginobili put down the towel and said: "I will do my best."
"Okay~" Popovich said: "It seems like you haven't given up completely yet. In that case, let's teach the complacent Los Angeles people a lesson, how about it?"
"I will use this tactic later. Although it is a bit difficult, I believe you can definitely complete it perfectly."
As soon as he came on the court, Tang Qian continued to take free throws, and wow, he missed the free throw. The Spurs got the defensive rebound and started to attack.
Are you ready to play tactical football again? These guys have such high tactical literacy!
As soon as Tang Qian took a look at the basket, he had an idea in his mind.
Yes, we are indeed preparing to play tactical ball, and it is a relatively complex and changeable tactic, Zip.series tactics. This tactic is commonly known as "zipper", which means that players can block defenders through movement and pocket them all.
, means zipper locking. But this tactic, for the current GDP combination, the load is not generally large. Because the movement and energy requirements are really involved, if one link is not done well, all the previous efforts will be wasted.
But under the current circumstances, the Spurs have no choice. They must use this complex tactical ball to open up space and ensure the maximum success rate of the shot. Otherwise, if they cannot score this goal, the Spurs' momentum will be
It becomes more and more depressed until it is completely devoured by the opponent.
Starting from Duncan's low block, the Spurs started a tactical attack mode. Ginobili quickly lifted up and then received Parker's pass from outside the right three-point line. The moment the Argentinian received the ball, "French sports car"
He also took advantage of the situation and cut directly from the right baseline. At this time, the essence of Zip.series tactics came out. It seems to be just a simple bottom line cross cut, but the requirements for the No. 1 position are extremely high. Why? Because after buying the bottom, you have to
The purpose of staying under the opponent's basket for 1 to 2 seconds is to attract the defender's attention. Everyone knows that the basket is the most attractive place, as long as the basket is slipped and empty.
Well, few people will remain indifferent.
In fact, if he was really indifferent, Parker would catch the ball and go straight to the layup, playing an easy ball.
But in the playoffs, every second counts, and no inch of ground can be conceded. How could it be possible to see the opponent slip into the baseline and not react? Almost subconsciously, the Lakers' Tang Qian and Gasol quickly moved over, trying to attack Parker's attack area.
It was blocked. And this scene was exactly what Parker wanted. As soon as Tang Qian and Gasol entered the basket, he used his strength again and quickly ran to the left corner baseline. Of course Tang Qian and Gasol did not
He would be able to escape easily, but before he could move a few steps, he was blocked by Spurs No. 21.
It's terrible! The Spurs' No. 21 off-the-ball support actually succeeded in delaying the movement of two people. Although it was not a complete block like a pick-and-roll, these 1 to 2 seconds were enough for No. 1 Tony Parker to run.
Out of the encirclement, it cut to the left baseline of the Lakers.
"Go and mark Parker! We're delayed!" Gasol shouted when he saw this. Morris and Meeks moved quickly, trying to cover the bottom corner. But at this time, two more walls of flesh appeared out of thin air.
, getting in front of the Lakers defender.
They are Matt Bonner and Danny Green.
This is also part of the Zip.series tactics. Double screens on the left wing allow Tony Parker to get ample space to shoot.
Damn it! Seeing that Morris and Meeks were blocked, Tang Qian used force, bypassed Duncan's position cover, and then chased the Lakers' left corner. As expected, the basketball was passed to Tony Parker's hands, and then he took the shot
Shooting.
Tang Qian jumped up high, wanting to "scare" Parker just like he had "scared" Ginobili just now, but unfortunately, all this was in Popovich's calculations. No. 29's defensive ability and assisting defense ability tonight
, the defensive ability is beyond the ordinary, so he requires to deceive the opponent first, and then transfer the attack.
After Parker saw Tang Qian coming, he deliberately waited for a short while, and then Meeks and Morris also came around, preparing to completely block the former. At this moment, the Spurs No. 9 passed the ball, and he
A one-handed pass, the basketball flew near the top arc of the Lakers. And standing there was none other than Manu Ginobili, who had just passed the ball.
Oops, Oops!!!
Tang Qian yelled in his heart, and forcefully changed his steps again, trying to rush towards the top arc, but this time he couldn't do it anyway. Not to mention the distance, even if he could catch up with him in terms of speed and time, he would still be unable to do so.
Yes. Because the Spurs' tactics blocked any possibility.
This is the second significance of Matt Bonner and Danny Green's double screen on the left wing.
Delaying Morris and Meeks is only the first step. The second step is to wait for them to pass by and continue to build a wall to prevent defenders from attacking Manu Ginobili. Suddenly, the Lakers'
The defense was completely blocked in the left wing area. The Spurs' No. 20 got an extremely calm and open shot opportunity.
This is even the biggest open opportunity in this game, which is no exaggeration.
"Manu! It's up to you!!! Come on!!! You must make the shot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Manu! Please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Goal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We need your goal!"
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
"Manu!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please put in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
!!!"
The Spurs fans at the scene all shouted loudly. That kind of wholehearted and unadulterated expectation made Argentina No. 20 suddenly condensed, as if the basket had become much closer. Manu Ji
Nobili was stunned for a moment, but soon he understood what was going on, so he decisively bent his knees, jumped up, and shot.
The basketball drew a brilliant arc in the sky.
This ball...will definitely go in!!!!!!!!!
Ginobili was so confident that he even made a sign that he must score while the basketball was still in mid-air.
One second later, a "swipe" sound pierced the Los Angeles Lakers' net, and the entire audience burst into loud cheers.
"Manu!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Manu!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Manu!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
On-site commentators Bill Rand and Sean Elliott both shouted into the microphone loudly: "Manu~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Ginobili~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"
97-99, the Spurs regained the lead by 2 points!
Ginobili raised his shooting hand high, as if in a demonstration, and swept across the court before running back to his own half.
This made the fans in the audience even more excited.
Tim Duncan also ran past Tang Qian and said, "Dongfang boy, you performed great, but your team can't win."
"This is my unchanging advice to you."
"Fuck you! Tim Duncan! Do you think I will be swayed by your words???" Tang Qian said loudly: "I will win for you tonight!!!!"
This is why the tactical ball just now was called a "zipper", which almost wiped out all the Lakers defenders.
Moreover, Tang Qian didn't know that someone had just forcibly entered the "Super God Realm".
He is the Spurs' No. 20, Argentinian Manu Ginobili.
Tang dived under the basket to grab another offensive rebound, and then dunked hard. Duncan tried his best to defend the ball, but he still couldn't stop the triple-backed Lakers No. 29. The ball was slammed into the basket.
"How about it!!!!!!!!! It's a draw again!!!!!!!!!!"
"Don't be proud, Oriental guy! We will make you go home crying!!!" The fans in the front row of the Spurs became angry and started spewing "trash talk" at Tang Qian.
Duncan was not affected. He just looked at No. 20 beside him and asked, "Have you also become a super god?"
Ginobili nodded, his eyes shining brightly, and said: "That's right, Tim, let them know how powerful we old guys are~"
PS: What will happen if this series ends tomorrow? Let’s look forward to it~
