I really just want to be a role player

In the second quarter, Mike Brown did not talk about martial ethics and only rotated one Artest.

Gasol, Kobe, Su Bei and Paul continued to fight on the court.

Already hit the floor of the Western Conference Finals, rest?There is plenty of time to rest after death, in one word: hard work.

For the Spurs, Bo Povich played Splitter and Diaw, Ginobili, Gary Neal and Parker.

Except for Parker who was fucked to death, the others had no choice but to take turns.

The game started in the second quarter, and the Lakers had the offensive ball.

"Paul took the ball and beat Parker, went in, changed direction and passed Parker, and he was going to the end.

But in the end it was impossible to reach the end. Split came to help defend, and as soon as he moved his feet, the basketball bounced off the ground from his feet. Gasol followed up to catch the ball, and only the basket was left in front of him..."

Bang-dang-!
Gasol's entire body is hung above the basket.

33 to 31! !
In the first round of the second quarter, Paul led his teammates away and almost assisted Gasol to pass to the basket. God of point guards, the cards of the breakout system are so terrifying.

After the goal, Paul immediately turned around and returned to defense, and the Lakers' defense quickly returned to position.

On the court, the Spurs attacked, Parker broke through and was pressed, passing the ball to Ginobili, posing as a triple threat.

"Kobe was fighting closely, and Ginobili was swaying right and left, unable to find a chance to escape.

Oops, Diola went to the high post to cover, and Ginobili finally, finally broke in.

Kobe quickly moved laterally to keep up, and bang, a back pass, and the basketball was passed to Diaw who was outside the three-point line.

Lifting the ball a little and shaking Artest, Diaw took a step forward with the ball and immediately redistributed the ball to Parker. The latter caught the ball, lifted the ball, and raised his hand to shoot a two-point jumper after receiving the ball..."

Paul completed the block with his eyes covered, but he couldn't reach it. He could only bet that Parker would just stay outside and not go in!
Bang-dang-!
The opportunity came, but Parker missed it and missed the shot.

"Su Bei took off the rebound and immediately took the ball to counterattack.

Beautiful change of direction, passing Ginobili's steal.

Then, he distributed the ball to Paul who was following him. The latter cooperated like kicking the wall and passed the ball to the front court.

Su Bei accelerated, received the basketball in the penalty area, jumped up with the ball, glided in the air, dunked, and blasted the damn basketball into the basket..."

Bang-dang-!
33 to 33! !
In the second quarter, the Lakers launched a 4-0 counterattack, and Subei quickly counterattacked to finish the game, helping the Lakers equalize the score.

“The Lakers are very straightforward!
Or continue to play music, continue to speed up, and compete with the Spurs for many rounds, so that they can use their physical advantage to wear down the Spurs?

This is a conspiracy!

Next, let’s see how the Spurs respond?

Oops, very hard-headed, without slowing down, Parker controlled the ball to the frontcourt, and immediately passed the ball to Ginobili, and it was Diaw's screen again.

This time, Ginobili chose to do it by himself, got rid of Kobe, broke into the three-point line, and immediately used a snake step to break through with the ball. He went in and finished, and quickly hit the board under the basket..."

Boom, swish—!
Gasol couldn't protect the basket, Artest was pulled out to defend by Diola, and Ginobili, the demon sword, rushed like a wolf into a herd of sheep.

35 to 33! !
The Spurs may not understand defense, but neither can the Lakers.

On the court, looking back, Kobe received Paul's pass, broke through with the ball, leaned on Ginobili's body, rushed to the penalty area, shouted loudly, faced the Spurs' attack under the basket, and forced a layup... …

Clang, swish——!
The basketball circled a few times on the basket, but Kobe put it into the basket.

The closer you are to the basket, the higher your hit rate. The truth that Lu Xun said is still very reasonable.

As for the Spurs' defense?

Without Duncan sitting at the basket, it's no better than the Lakers.

This version of the Spurs no longer relies on defense to conquer the world.

The question is that defense cannot win the world, so we can only focus on offense.

Defense is suitable as a trump card. In a critical decisive battle, it can be used as a killer move when suddenly used.

Of course, if you can't even withstand the Spurs' offensive firepower, there's no need to increase your defensive intensity.

It would be quite simple for the Spurs to change their way of life.

After all, if you continue to work hard when you are old, you are looking for injuries.

35 to 35! !
The score between the two sides continued to be evenly divided.

Offensive and defensive transition, the Spurs attack.

It was Ginobili who started the offense with the ball again, and Diaw continued to pull to the outside as a screen.

"Artest actively switched defenses, Kobe left Diaw open, and directly flanked Ginobili.

Bang-!
It was another beautiful back pass. Diaw caught the ball from outside the three-point line. Seeing that no one was guarding him three meters away, he raised his hand to try for a three-point jumper..."

When Kobe quickly jumped out to block the shot, it was already too late.

Fortunately, the Lakers did not regard Diaw's three-pointer as alive.

Bang-dang-!
"still none!
Dior's crotch is stretched tonight.

The opportunity came out, but the three-point shot failed.

Oh, the Spurs' offense was not over yet. Splitter got the lost basketball back. After landing, Gasol leaned on him and immediately distributed the ball to Parker to reorganize..."

The Spurs' formation immediately opened up, and they both retreated. Then, the two wings scrambled to get out of the way to find space.

Gary Neal used Split's cover to get rid of Su Bei's defense and ran to the left side of the 65-point line. After receiving Parker's signal, he immediately jumped up and raised his hand to try another three-pointer. Jump shot...

Su Bei rushed early and slowly, but still missed.

There was no choice but to listen to the gunfire.Bang Dang——!
"Sent again!"
The Spurs' starting lineup is very effective offensively, but the rotating lineup is not effective offensively. It's hard to stand up to the fact that they can't make any shots no matter what.

The rebound was picked off by Gasol and he immediately passed the ball to Paul to advance..."

At this time, Su Bei and Kobe were like two sharp blades, quickly piercing the frontcourt.

After halftime, Paul immediately turned over Su Bei's cards, forming a 2-on-2 situation in the frontcourt.

"Su Bei caught the ball from the right side of the three-point line, took a step, changed direction, pulled up, oh, raised his hand and hit a chasing three-pointer from Blind Ji Ba, will there be..."

Garnier is 1 meters tall, strong offensively and weak defensively. Against Su Bei, he is obviously out of position. We can only bet that Su Bei's three-point pistol has no bullets.

Swish-!
I guessed wrong, there were bullets in Su Bei's three-dimensional pistol.

"Still!!

Su Bei accurately hit a three-pointer, continuing the Lakers' offense.

You call this a rotation battle?
This is completely a dimensionality reduction attack!

After all, it is only the Spurs who are rotating, and the Lakers are playing the main force job. There is no rotation at all, so it is reasonable to be unable to withstand it..."

35 to 38! !
From leading by 4 points to falling behind by 3 points, Bo Povich couldn't bear it outside the court. He was afraid that the score would be too wide to recover, so he immediately replaced Duncan, Leonard and Danny Green on the court with a wave of his hand.

At this time, the lineup became Duncan, Leonard, Danigby, Ginobili and Parker.

With the combination of GDP and two potential new stars, the Spurs have played all their cards.

On the court, Parker controlled the ball to the frontcourt, and Duncan and Leonard continued to pull high to evacuate. At the same time, Danny Green and Ginobili moved without the ball.

The Lakers didn't panic. I still focused on defense, blocking people in the penalty area, and then used their powerful wings to block the offensive area of ​​​​the two-point line.

The three-point shot was made, and the Lakers had no choice but to admit it.

"Facing the Lakers' turtle shell zone defense, the Spurs did not continue to gamble on their three-point shooting ability.

Parker lobbed the ball to Duncan in the corner, and then cut into the basket without the ball, taking away Paul's defense.

Duncan gets the ball and meets Gasol, oh my god!
Without making any adjustments, Duncan directly shot a two-point jumper..."

Gasol was stunned by Duncan's fake breakthrough move, which he had refined over 30 years of basic skills. By the time he was about to respond, Duncan had already finished his work quickly.

Swish-!
"Nice goal!

As soon as Duncan came back, he scored points with a solid mid-range shot and stabilized the situation on the court.

Duncan rarely goes into the low post, but he is still very threatening in the mid-range shot..."

37 to 38! !
Off the court, Bo Povich had a calm face, feeling like he had everything under control.

Looking back, Paul controlled the ball to the frontcourt and immediately lobbed the ball to Gasol, who was immediately raised to the high post. He also cut to the basket without the ball.

"Parker was brought to the basket. Su Bei moved from the right corner to outside the 75-degree three-point line. Gasol squeezed Duncan twice with his back, and immediately passed the ball to Kobe on the left, facing Ginobili. .

After Kobe took a step, he immediately chose to break through, leaning on Ginobili with his body to rush into the penalty area, and it seemed that everything was going to be smooth sailing.

Duncan swept over, but Kobe pulled out, kicked his legs in the air and leaned back, raised his hand and made a two-point pull-up jump shot..."

Swish-!
With his hands up and down, Kobe hit two points steadily.

This is professional!
Kobe was too efficient against the Spurs.

In terms of wing defense, Ginobili is too weak, Leonard is too young, and Danny Green is not talented enough. He can only block the center, guide Kobe to attack from the side, and then let Duncan sweep and kill him.

But Kobe doesn't fall into the Spurs' trap. He can choose his own attack route. If he falls into the trap, he can punish the Spurs' defense with accurate mid-range shots.

No matter how good Duncan was at defending the basket, he couldn't hit Kobe and could only silently bear the blow from Kobe's mid-range shot.

37 to 39! !
On the court, Mike Brown clenched his fists in celebration.

There was a time when the Cavaliers he led were the victims of the Spurs.

The Spurs have frequently made a fuss about James's ability to shoot tough shots and kill the game.

The result is that either the team loses and James does not lose, or the team loses and James also loses.

No matter whether you let James play or not, you will always lose.

Now Kobe is not used to the Spurs' defensive strategy, and it hits the Spurs where it hurts.

Of course, the Spurs have changed their approach and focused on offense.

If you want to decide the winner, you have to let the attack have more bullets for a while.

Mike Brown is also a ruthless person. He actually let all the main players play for more than 20 minutes before making slow substitutions.

Relying on the job of controlling the main force, the Lakers regained the main force on the court and suppressed the Spurs in terms of score.

In the shooting battle, you have to be tough and durable at the same time.

The Spurs were determined to shoot, but in the long run, they couldn't do it.

After Duncan scored a goal, he shot continuously and only made 4 of 1 shots.

Parker hit 3 of 1, Ginobili hit 4 of 2, Leonard hit 2 of 1, Danny Green hit all of them, but 1 of 1, that offensive firepower is not even enough to feed the cat.

For the Lakers, Kobe was in top form, making 7 of 5 shots and 3 of 3 free throws. He scored 13 points in a single quarter and defeated the defensive defense of Ginobili, Danny Green, and Leonard.

Subei made frequent achievements in the counterattack, making 5 of 4 shots, 3 of 2 three-pointers, and scored 10 points. The Lakers' "dead-line combination" continued to shine, leading the Lakers to beat the Spurs in the face-off. The score was 31 to 22.

At the end of the first half, the score was 55 to 60. The Lakers relied on their main force to complete the lead and entered the locker room to rest with a 5-point advantage.
