last super center

Chapter 125 Run and kill these old guys!
"The Lakers have carried out a large-scale rotation inside. The tallest is Su Mu. There is no doubt about it, but the others don't have such a height. Is this a relatively small lineup?"

After the timeout ended, Zhang Lili exclaimed when he saw the Lakers after the change.

Although it is a small lineup, it is not. The shortest Pope is 1 meters tall, and the other four are all strikers over two meters.

Ingles, who is a guest point guard, is 2 meters tall. He has a strong body and good vision. Bogdanovic is 03 meters tall at the small forward position. In this lineup, Scott is interested in Bogdanovic's ability to shoot outside the three-point line, not his movement speed. He can open up space on the court and create wider offensive opportunities.

Pope continued to play the role of the second position, excellent defense, steady three-pointers, and fast movement. Su Mu was extremely puzzled when the Lakers let Pope go.
It was Aaron Gordon's turn at the fourth position, and Aaron Gordon was also 2 meters. Scott seemed to have figured it out. Since Jordan Hill and Boozer couldn't take advantage of Duncan, it would be better to let Gordon take the fourth position. Anyway, the outcome is the same. Anyway, Gordon has a certain outside shooting ability, and his defense and speed are much better than the first two.

As a result, the Lakers have three players with a height of 2 meters.

Such a height is of course the most reasonable in the next few years, but 2014 has just begun, and the small ball storm that the Golden State Warriors swept the league has not yet formally formed. Facing these veteran teams, especially like the San Antonio Spurs, the Lakers are still at a disadvantage in terms of height inside.

Fortunately, Su Mu has an absolute commanding height, which to a large extent makes up for the Lakers' shortcomings in the interior.

"Scott took the initiative to change the lineup under an advantageous situation. I can't see it. Scott is very courageous. This is not the Cleveland Cavaliers who have just been reorganized. They are the defending champions! Let's see what happens in the next game!" Zhang Lili continued to analyze the situation on the court.

"Run! Guys! As long as there is a chance to fast break, run towards the basket and the open space! It doesn't matter if the basketball can't be handed over to you in the first time. Do our own thing and let the opponent fall into our rhythm!"

The roar before the start of the second quarter, the whole team is excited!
Under the premise of having Su Mu, Scott changed the traditional style of play of the Lakers. Ingles, who was not used to the rhythm of the team, found his position in these two games.

You don't need to score too high by yourself, achieve the ultimate conduction, and turn the team's offense into a unique art system, which is what Scott is most yearning for and right at this stage.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Spurs launched the first round of offense.

Compared with the opening lineup, the biggest change for the Spurs is to replace the All-Star Manu Ginobili on the bench.

As soon as Su Mu came up, he took the initiative to find Ginobili, and kept talking in his ear: "Hey! Brother, come to the Lakers. There is no future in the Spurs. That old man just let you play as a substitute. With your strength, you are the absolute main force in any team!"

"Want to win more honors? Come to the Lakers, we will create a dynasty together!"

Ginobili glanced at Su Mu, who was unexpectedly lively at such a young age.

There is one thing to say, if it weren't for Ginobili's great personality, the Spurs would have been unwilling to use it like this!
It doesn't matter if the reputation is not much, and the salary is not high. Su Mu really couldn't figure out what Ginobili wanted in the Spurs in his whole life.

Could it be that Duncan's big hands that touched him bald really have supernatural powers?

Ignoring Su Mu's words, the Spurs under Ginobili holding the ball were obviously much calmer than in the first quarter, and took the initiative to slow down the offensive rhythm.

Perimeter players continue to cooperate with pick-and-roll passes and cuts outside the three-point line, looking for suitable opportunities.

Inside Duncan is also actively seeking positions, everyone's running is temptation, and finally the basketball is handed over to Duncan.

A small lineup like the Lakers will inevitably pay the price inside!
Duncan, who was stuck in a good position inside, received the ball. After receiving the ball, Duncan directly made a small hook and easily crushed Aaron Gordon behind him and scored the ball.

Gordon showed embarrassment on his face, but he would not have any embarrassment because he had long been psychologically constructed.

Come on, you can attack me fiercely, anyway, your teammates will bring the victory back to Los Angeles. In the Christmas game, we will definitely win!

After the goal, all the Spurs retreated quickly, which is what Popovich emphasized during the intermission.

Seeing that there was no good opportunity, Su Mu took the initiative to pull to a place outside the paint area. He was looking for gaps when his teammates moved.

Ingles stabilized the ball and entered the offensive round of the Lakers' positional battle.

How should the Lakers fight?
The pick and roll between the ball handler and Su Mu is over!
That's right, let Ingles and the inside core Su Mu perform a pick-and-roll. Although this tactic is retro, it is extremely efficient. First, the quality of the center forward's pick-and-roll is excellent. Secondly, the most important thing is that the ball handler has enough lethality.
After the pick-and-roll, Su Mu went down without any hesitation. Ingles took the ball and took a step toward the outside line on the side of the pick-and-roll, pretending to pass the ball towards Bogdanovic in the corner.

Bergda Novi, as the Lakers' powerful outside scorer, the Spurs dare not let go anyway.

In the next moment, when the Spurs player pulled to the bottom corner to defend Bogdanovic, Ingles flicked his wrist, and a seemingly inadvertent pass passed directly through Duncan's crotch. The basketball seemed to have eyes.

Yo ho?

This kid can still send out such an assist?

Not only Scott's eyes on the sidelines lit up, but even Su Mu was a little puzzled. Was Ingles in his previous life so good at passing the ball?
When everyone's attention was on Ingles and Bogdanovic, Su Mu successfully stole the chicken!

"boom!"

One-arm dunk!

The basket made the most crisp and pleasant roar!
34:26! !
Still eight points difference!
After landing, Su Mu pointed to Ingalls appreciatively: "Good, Job!! Good job!"

Ingles patted Su Mu's butt. He liked such an efficient teammate. He was very athletic after hitting the basket, and he could put the basketball into the basket as long as there was a gap.

In layman's terms, it is a defensive insider who is good at eating cakes!

And Su Mu is not only a defensive insider who is good at eating cakes, his inside offense is also very threatening, which makes the Spurs feel very headache.

The Spurs' offense is still conducted in an unhurried manner, which makes people drowsy.

David Stern in the box in the stands also had a Sima look on his face, the fight was too ugly, too ugly!
With 12 seconds left in the offensive round, Duncan held the ball inside and handed the ball to the outside Argentine.

Everyone pulls out, this round Ginobili will play 1v1 singles!

Standing in front of him is Aaron Gordon after the defense change!

The only advantage of this lineup of the Lakers is that, except for Bogdanovic in the third position who moves a little slowly, the other four can switch defenses at the first time.

Compared with Ginobili at this time, Aaron Gordon is a fledgling, unknown junior with some fame.

吉诺比利1999年第2轮第28顺位被马刺选中，但在02-03赛季才从国际球队来到马刺报道。

That is, last year, GDP won the final championship for the first time combined!
and!
Ginobili, who is well-known in the international arena, has naturally become a familiar object to many people.

Enchanting pace, unrestrained style of play, full of appreciative way of passing the ball on the basketball court, this kind of Ginobili is naturally favored by many people!
However, Ginobili failed to shake the "unnamed" Aaron Gordon in front of him after changing directions continuously, and was even almost intercepted because of the continuous loss of time.

After being beaten by Duncan one after another, Gordon finally showed the defensive level he should have. Even Ginobili, the demon swordsman, would never want to take advantage of him.

At the last second, he could only make a hasty shot from the outside.

Strike it!

What's the best way to go fast?
The opponent's attack fails under intensive defense, and the opportunity for a quick counterattack comes!
As soon as they heard the sound of iron strikes, the entire Lakers team seemed to hear the horn of charge!
Bogdanovic protected the backboard and passed the pass directly to Su Mu.

At this time, Ingles had already run near the middle circle, and Gordon and Pope were even more exaggerated. The two had already run past the middle circle, approaching the three-point line!
Fast attack with your life!
This is the current state of play for the Lakers.

The most taboo thing in fast break is continuous dribbling. Obviously, Su Mu would not make such low-level mistakes. After dribbling one step, it was a long pass that ran through the audience!
The ball was given just right in advance, and Pope just ran to the spot where the ball landed and dunked easily!
36:26! !
No one would have thought that the Spurs fell behind by as much as [-] points in the second quarter. This is the defending champion!

The Spurs' home ATT Arena suddenly fell into silence.

I have to admit that the exaggerated offensive methods of the Lakers made the audience very happy. Unfortunately, this is the home of the Spurs, and it is impossible for the Spurs fans to cheer for the Lakers!

Even though the Spurs and the Lakers don't have much ancestral grievances, with the blessing of the Christmas game, the fiery atmosphere of the scene is still quite sufficient.

"Bopper! He ran beautifully!" Teammates need to be encouraged to score, especially the second-year rookie Pope who has just been traded. Su Mu is very optimistic about this guy, and he played an amazing performance in the playoffs!
"Gordon, for the next round of defense, please continue to defend the Argentine. Don't be afraid. You have to believe in yourself. You are the best individual defender on this basketball court!"

No matter how strong Gordon is now under the baptism of Su Mu, as long as he has a wonderful performance on the court, Su Mu will use words to strengthen his inner pride.

Su Mu understood that Popovich's intention to send Ginobili up so early was to break the Spurs' current scoring stalemate. If someone could limit Ginobili well at this time, it would have a serious impact on the Spurs' offense in the early game.

"No problem Su Mu, I will do whatever you ask me to do!"

"Anyway, on the court, I will listen to you!"

Gordon sees it very clearly. This new Los Angeles Lakers team is built with Su Mu as the cornerstone. He is also very good, but he knows in his heart that it is impossible to be the absolute core of a team with his ability. He knows it well, so he never complains about his position in his team.

Su Mu is the boss, and he is the most loyal supporter behind Su Mu!
In the next round, the Spurs played extremely difficult under the more flexible and efficient defense of the Lakers. After going around, they still had to hand over the basketball to Duncan inside.

Although relying on Duncan's strong personal strength to knock the ball into the ball, it is extremely difficult from the overall offensive point of view.

Even Kenny Smith couldn't help but mocked: "The San Antonio Spurs, who easily eliminated the Lakers in the first round of the Western Conference two years ago, seem to be playing extremely hard this season. Kobe is already injured and unable to play, but Su Mu's arrival has injected a lot of fresh blood into the Lakers. With constant switching of defenses and non-stop offense, Popovich doesn't seem to have found a way to effectively limit the opponent. This year's Christmas game, the Lakers may have the last laugh!"

In fact, it's not that the Spurs are out of form, but that the Lakers today have indeed undergone earth-shaking changes on both offense and defense.

Su Mu's talented play made the Spurs unable to find a good way to deal with it for a while. Coupled with the contributions made by Ingles, Pope and Gordon on the defensive end, it is extremely difficult for the Spurs to break through the new Lakers!

Looking at the Lakers running non-stop on the court, Scott even felt a little dazed for a while. If they can keep improving on the court and continue their performance tonight, can the Los Angeles Lakers go further this season?

Don't forget, there is still a real big killer sitting on the Lakers' bench. Even if this big killer has been seriously damaged, the rusty knife can still kill people.

With 1 minute left in the second quarter, the score on the field has reached 52:38!

Neither side scored very high in the half, and the extreme running and bombing shown by the Lakers made the Spurs exhausted.

This is a feeling that if you don't throw you to death, you will be exhausted!
Although Duncan has enough rest time, he can't stand the big man of 2 meters running back and forth on the basketball court, right?

None of the Spurs generals, including Popovich, could have imagined that in this year's Christmas game, their opponents, the Lakers, would be so difficult!

Duncan even had an illusion, is this still the Los Angeles Lakers in 2014?It seemed to remind him of the Zijin Legion he met in the Western Conference Finals a few years ago, it was so difficult!
