I really just want to be a role player

"Don't think it's an accident that the Lakers were beaten!

During the regular season, the Lakers had a reputation for bullying.

They almost never lose against weak teams, and almost never win against championship teams.

I met the Spurs three times in the regular season, and the score was 2-1.

Spurs 2, Lakers 1.

Among them, the Lakers were able to win because Leonard of the Spurs was absent due to injury.

As long as Leonard is not injured, the Spurs will not lose to the Lakers.

In fact, the first place in the regular season is the Spurs..."

The Spurs are invincible even if they are not all members!

On the court, Paul controlled the ball to the frontcourt, and Gasol immediately mentioned the high post.

Kobe was repeatedly defended by Leonard, preventing him from easily catching the ball.

Paul chose to lob the ball to Gasol, and then chose to cut outside and change positions with Su Bei so that Parker's defense could be brought to Su Bei.

"A beautiful pass. Su Bei received a pass from Gasol and shot a three-point pull-up jumper... No, my God!
It was actually a feint, but Parker was acted and he was already flying into the sky.

Su Bei doesn't follow martial ethics. After collecting the ball, he lifts it up and hits Parker's body to shoot..."

Don't come here!

It was useless no matter how loud Parker shouted in his heart. He was about to collide with Su Bei. Parker was also a ruthless person and slapped Su Bei's hand that shot the three-pointer hard.

Snapped--!
beep-!
When the whistle sounded, the referee raised three fingers, rushed to the technical table to carry Parker's signal, and immediately pointed to the free throw line.

"That's professionalism!

Subei is simply born for the championship!

He has so much experience that even the seasoned Spurs have suffered this kind of loss.

If you don't have the shooting touch, then you can draw fouls and go to the free throw line. As long as you can score, even if it's just a hit.

Even more terrifying is Su Bei, a porcelain that will be punished three times with one touch..."

Su Bei rubbed his right hand, but his face showed no emotion. If someone hit him, he would have prepared it for him.

Standing on the free throw line, Su Bei took a deep breath.

Swish swish--!
There was no mercy and he steadily made all three free throws. Su Bei finally opened up the scoring account for the Lakers.

9 to 3! !
Off the court, Bo Povich had to shake his head after seeing it.

After all, the Spurs have not been the big brother for many years and lack the baptism of a championship.

Fortunately, there is no need to panic.

The advantage is still on the Spurs' side.

On the court, the Spurs attacked and Parker controlled the ball to the frontcourt.

Or the twin towers were evacuated, and the wings were flying around without the ball.

"The Lakers were beaten continuously and changed their defensive tactics!

Paul directly pressed Parker and blocked Parker's ball release point.

The Lakers' inside line did not evacuate, but instead blocked the penalty area.

The two wings did not follow the defense, but mainly cut off the passing route. This is a rhythm that has to be tested by the Spurs' outside shooting from both wings..."

Outside the 70-degree three-point line on the right side, Danny Green caught the ball and shot a three-point pull-up jumper...

When Su Bei changed defense, he just stretched out his hands and pretended, and did not regard the three-pointers from the Spurs' wings as real.

Swish-!
"Still!!

Danny Green's three-pointer also opened!
It's even harder for the Lakers now.

If you shrink in to defend, you will automatically become a target..."

12 to 3! !
On the court, Mike Brown crossed his arms.

Following the defense will only make the Lakers exhausted. It is better not to follow the defense and let me take the lead in defense.

If the Spurs score, there's nothing they can do about it, right?We can only let the bullets fly for a while longer.

Moreover, the Spurs can safely let two mediocre role players decide the game and determine their own destiny?
Maybe Bo Povich has such determination, but second-year rookie Leonard and fourth-year Danny Green can't waver?
On the court, the Lakers attack.

When the game becomes a shooting battle, the key is to be tough yourself.

As long as you are tough, no matter how tough your opponent is, it will only last longer.

In terms of durability, the Lakers' F4 lineup obviously has more cards.

Paul controlled the ball to the frontcourt, continued to lob the ball to Gasol, and then cut outside to provide Su Bei with the ball, taking advantage of Parker's position.

When it comes to shooting, he simply doesn't believe that Su Bei will lose, and he has never seen Su Bei lose.

Then continue playing music, and then continue playing.

"Parker's defense was brought to Su Bei again.

Gasol's pass also came over.

Oh, Leonard chose to let Paul go, and teamed up with Parker to attack Su Bei.

Su Bei fought and retreated, lifted the ball away from the three-point line, flicked it in the air, and sent the damn basketball to Paul, who cut inside the three-point line.

After breaking in, Paul showed off a small throw from horseback archery without waiting for Split to help defend..."

Swish-!
With his hand raised and the knife dropped, Paul steadily scored two points.

Three-pointers and three-pointers are not enough, but Paul can also hit two-pointers.

The Lakers' offense continued.

12 to 5! !
"They work hard offensively, the Lakers are really not afraid of playing against any team!
Next, it depends on whether the Spurs can handle the Lakers recruitment..."

On the court, Parker controlled the ball to the frontcourt and was immediately pressed by Paul.

On the other side, seeing that Kobe didn't follow up, Danny Green pulled outside the three-point line, provided a screen for Parker, and rescued Parker.

“Mismatch against Kobe.

Parker changed direction, accelerated, suddenly stepped down and dribbled, raised his hand and made an emergency stop for two points before shooting a mid-range shot..."

Kobe was out of position, too old, and his speed was not good to begin with. In addition, he was playing a strategy of preventing breakthroughs and not shooting. Facing Parker's sudden turns, stops, and shots, he had nothing to do and could only listen to the gunshot.

Swish-!
"Another double hit!
The Spurs' shooting touch is so good.

In particular, they still bloom more, no matter how much you invest, they will bloom.

It’s all shots, but the Lakers still can’t defend...” 14 to 5!!
Off the court, Mike Brown was calm.

The Spurs have become a jump shooting team. They have excellent physical fitness in the first quarter and can maintain a good shooting state. What about the second half?

Don't panic, as long as the Lakers don't understand defense and the Spurs don't understand, then they can defeat their opponents with their durability.

On the court, Paul suddenly picked up speed, rushed to the frontcourt, changed direction, passed Parker, and headed inside.

"Paul went in and Split came to help defend.

Bang-!
A beautiful ground pass, the ball was distributed to Gasol who followed behind, and only the basket was left in front of him..."

Bang-dang-!
Gasol received Paul's breakthrough pass and easily completed a dunk under the basket, scoring two points.

14 is better than 7!

The Lakers finished their work, and Duncan had just defended the penalty area.

The Spurs' penalty area was unguardable.

"The Lakers are increasing their speed and increasing their offensive and defensive rounds. Are they going to use the speed increase to test the Spurs' physical condition?
It depends on how the Spurs respond?

Oh, the Spurs were not afraid at all. They did not slow down the pace of the game, but played at a pace they were comfortable with.

Parker controlled the ball to the frontcourt and was pressed by Paul again.

Leonard copied Danny Green's homework and also pulled out to cover for Parker.

Hey, what the hell?

Su Bei also proposed, quickly completing the defense switch against Parker, and catching Parker off guard. Paul bypassed Leonard and completed the double attack on Parker.

Snapped--!
Pretty!

Paul stole the ball and immediately launched a counterattack..."

One-stopping to the penalty area, he hit a one-handed dunk, blasted the damn basketball into the basket, and scored a two-point counterattack.

14 to 9! !
“This is the combination of the two guns of Wake Forest once upon a time!

Leonard was still too young. After setting a screen for Parker, he immediately ran away. Unexpectedly, Su Bei, the oriole, was behind him.

The Spurs' two-on-one becomes the Lakers' two-on-one, what can you use to top it up..."

Off the court, Bo Povich had a terrible headache.

But Leonard can only be allowed to make mistakes.

Moreover, it's not Leonard's problem.

But Su Bei's defensive awareness is too good.

They don't defend according to conventional routines at all.

Fortunately, the Spurs still have a lead and are in good shape, so they are not panicking.

On the court, Parker controlled the ball to the frontcourt, but was still pressed by Paul.

At this time, Leonard and Danny Green did not pull out to set a screen, and they sank to the bottom corners on both sides. They had to slip from the baseline and cut to the basket.

Although Kobe and Su Bei are shooting, they must always pay attention to their positions and not be too far away from them.

On the other side, Duncan mentioned outside the three-point line and provided a screen for Parker. Jordan Hill rarely encountered such an operation. He didn't know how to defend at all?

It can be said that he is hesitant whether to defend out or continue to stay in the penalty area.

"My goodness!
The Spurs are going to use the screen to the end!

Parker got rid of Paul, rushed to the free throw line, immediately pulled up the ball, and shot a two-point pull-up jumper..."

When Subei came to help with the defense, it was just a show of defense. It was impossible to defend at all and could only listen to the sound of gunshots.

Swish-!
"Return!
The Spurs' offense can continue.

too strong!
The Spurs' execution was so strong that the Lakers simply couldn't guard against it.

The Lakers can only continue to shrink the defensive zone and give up all outside shots to the Spurs.

It is impossible, absolutely impossible to block the Spurs' ball release point..."

16 to 9! !
Looking back, Paul continued to implement the tactics of naming Parker.

Since the Spurs' jump shooting tactics cannot be stopped, then use more powerful jump shooting tactics to beat the opponent.

Su Bei did not disappoint Paul. Against Parker's block, he shot a pull-up jumper from outside the 70-degree three-point line on the right side...

Swish-!
"Su Bei has three points!

Very nice goal.

The Lakers' offense is also firing on all cylinders..."

Come on, let's hurt each other!

16 to 12! !
Next, the two sides continued the jump shooting battle, which tested both sides' shooting skills.

It is impossible to defend, you can only focus on the players who are in the hottest condition.

The game is open and close, you come and I go.

After the first quarter, the score was 33 to 29. The Spurs turned away and took a 4-point lead.

The Spurs' starting five are in very hot shape. Danny Green made 5 of 3, 3 of 2 three-pointers, and scored 8 points.

Leonard made 2 of 1 and scored 3 points.

Parker made 3 of 3 and scored 6 points.

Duncan made 2 of 2 and scored 4 points.

However, when the lineup was rotated, Ginobili, Diaw and Gary Neal were unable to keep up with the hot state of the starting five and all took shots.

There was only one Matt Bonner, who was pretty reliable. He made 2 of 2 three-pointers and scored 6 points.

As for the Lakers, F4 basically doesn't need to rest.

With a younger lineup and better cards, the Lakers continued to fill the deep hole they dug at the beginning.

Su Bei made 7 of 4 shots, 5 of 2 three-pointers, 3 of 3 free throws, and scored 13 points, which was pretty good.

After all, naming Parker is not his true skill.

科比5投2中，进账4分，保罗4投3中，有6分进账。

Not to mention, the Lakers still have a great advantage on the outside.

This is the capital that the Lakers cannot defeat. As long as the inside line does not lose too much, it will be fine.
