I really just want to be a role player

“In the first half, both sides played relatively simply!
The Spurs relied on shots made by tactical execution and used soft power to take the lead.

The Lakers relied on their lineup advantage and used hard power to achieve a lead.

It is said that the Spurs' lineup has been aging in recent years. In order to solve this problem, the Spurs signed and drafted several rookies in succession, then promoted them to the starting lineup to polish them, and then used tactics to cover up.

But no matter how well the Spurs cover up their tactics, the flaws are there, and they are still there. If they were caught and targeted by the Lakers in the first half, it is no wonder that they will be reversed by the Lakers.

Let’s see how both sides adjust in the second half…”

The third quarter of the game started, with both sides starting the main force, then playing music, and then fighting again.

The Spurs had the offensive ball and Parker controlled the ball upfield.

"It's still a normal operation, the twin towers are raised to a high position, and the two wings are flying around without the ball.

The Lakers' defense is still dominated by me, piling people into the penalty area, using the advantages of the outside wings to encircle and suppress the two-point offensive area..."

On the left, Leonard cut to the basket without the ball. He was closely followed by Su Bei. He immediately turned around and rushed towards Split in the corner on the right.

Su Bei was blocked. Outside the 65-degree three-point line on the right side, Leonard successfully received the ball. When he saw Su Bei coming around the defense, he was not in a hurry to take action. He feinted a shot and dribbled the ball towards the center to break through. .

Parker, who walked to the left after passing the ball, had already rushed to the basket, and Paul had been blocked by Duncan.

Seeing this, Leonard smashed the pass to Parker, and then...

Nothing more, Parker Euro-stepped to the layup, and with a quick little floater, he sent the damn basketball into the basket.

Swish-!
“Very nice teamwork to score a goal!
The Lakers couldn't protect the rim with Jordan Hill, and if they shrank into the penalty area, they couldn't protect the rim either. The Spurs' pass-cut-screen coordination was so tacit that it was really unbearable..."

57 to 60! !
The point difference became 3 points.

The Lakers aren't panicking, it's the Spurs who should be panicking.

Why did the Spurs go from leading to falling behind?
The problem is that the substitute lineup is not strong.

But the main force and the substitutes are both part of the Spurs, a whole, which means that the Spurs essentially have no endurance.

No matter how tough you are, no matter how good your tactics are, what's the use of it?

Your background and power are not good enough!

So the Lakers don't care at all about losing points, because the Spurs will only lose more.

Looking back, Paul controlled the ball to the frontcourt and immediately handed the ball to Kobe, who was in full swing in the second quarter.

"Beyond the three-point line on the left, Kobe took the ball and stepped forward, and Danny Green chose to press closely.

Shaking left and right, dribbling the ball and breaking through, Danny Green fought and retreated to keep up. Kobe turned around and gave him a butt, and pushed in. Danny Green took a step back, and Kobe pushed him into a comfortable position.

Immediately, he shook his shoulders, turned around, fired up Danny Green, and went forward to face the defense and shoot..."

Bang-!
Kobe physically withstood Danny Green's resistance and shot the shot despite being unbalanced.

beep-!
Swish-!
"Nice job!
Kobe went crazy and wanted a 2+1.

Danny Green can't be guarded, can't be guarded at all. When the state comes, he will kill all the opponents standing in front of him with full firepower. He is too strong.

This is Kobe Bryant, the Black Mamba. You can’t let him open up, otherwise he won’t even be able to stop him with a foul..."

Swish-!
At the free throw line, Kobe showed no mercy and steadily hit the extra free throw, successfully scoring a 3-pointer.

57 to 63! !
This is the difference between them!

In the small ball era, Kobe's offense was thankless.

But now, when Kobe is playing like this, it is a tough performance and a real fight.

Although the Spurs had just scored a beautiful goal through cooperation, they would only try to avoid it.

The Lakers have already shown their sword, targeting the Spurs' weaknesses and killing them with force.

It depends on whether the Spurs can escape the first grade of junior high school or the fifteenth grade.

At this time, Kobe's offensive strength created a problem for the Spurs.

In the small ball era, such a goal has no damage at all.

Because you only need to turn around and throw in a three-pointer to break the game.

But which team's surplus now can feed its opponents with three-pointers?

Bang-dang-!
Danny Green bit the bullet and tried a three-point jumper. As a result, he would die if he tried.

"Miss!
The Spurs' three-pointer tonight only started the first quarter.

They really dared to take action, but their efficiency was not very high.

Su Bei rushed to the basket, took off the rebound, and immediately advanced with the ball.

coming!

Speeding up again, the Lakers continued to consume the Spurs' energy.

Oh, Leonard counterattacked on the spot, oh, so cruel, he actually got a foul, and he also suppressed the Lakers' fast-paced offense..."

The Lakers' counterattack was interrupted and the game entered a positional battle.

Paul controlled the ball to the frontcourt, and in front of Kobe, Leonard was already defending.

Moreover, he still defended forward without giving an inch. Duncan placed Jordan Hill more than one meter away, ready to help defend Kobe at any time.

"Kobe continued to ask for the ball on the left side, but Paul lobbed the basketball to Gasol, and then cut inside to the basket. Parker anticipated it and followed closely, without giving Paul a chance to hit the Spurs' backdoor.

Gasol feinted and passed the ball to Paul, but turned to the left and dribbled the ball inward. Split was tricked. He lost his center of gravity. The defense was tight. He fought and retreated. He fouled, oh. , still unable to block it, Gasol forced a dunk under the basket.Bang-dang——!
Beautiful, at the same time as the goal was scored, the whistle also sounded, it was 2+1 again. The Lakers played too tough in these two rounds.

3 consecutive strong kills.

Gasol also showed his toughness, you really can't stand it..."

Outside the field, the home fans cheered.

The Spurs' defense is not good on the outside and inside, and they are not strong inside or outside. This is a situation where they are beaten and unable to parry.

The more the Spurs try to avoid attacking, the more powerful the Lakers' 40-meter-long knife will be, leaving them with nowhere to escape.

Swish-!
On the free throw line, Gasol did not miss and steadily won the extra penalty.

57 to 66! !
The point difference became 9 points.

The combination of Ke and Sao played consecutive 2+1 attacks, instantly widening the point difference.

Off the court, Bo Povich's face turned ugly, but there was nothing he could do.

He also had to admit that Duncan was old.

The Spurs' interior defense is not that strong, they can only admit it.

And this is why the Spurs have to change their way of living.

They can no longer defeat their opponents just by relying on defense.

It makes sense to focus on offense.

Even if the Spurs don't know how to defend, they can make their opponents not know how to defend either.

One back and forth, it offsets the defensive failure just now.

On the court, Parker controlled the ball to the frontcourt.

After all, the Spurs are a team that is very good at playing in the playoffs. Faced with the Lakers' offensive momentum, they did not panic and still patiently looked for opportunities.

After all, it is difficult for one person to guard two people, and Kobe lost Danny Green again.

With Duncan's screen, Danny Green was empty outside the 65-degree three-point line on the left.

"Parker quickly served the ball and Danny Green received the ball. Without any extra movement, he raised his hand and shot a three-point jumper. He really dared to shoot..."

Swish-!
With the knife in hand, Danny Green scored this crucial three-pointer.

This is Zhang Tielin's style!
Throw the ball when it's given, either it's Huang Ama, or it's a sharpshooter.

60 to 66! !
“Finally, finally a three-pointer for the Spurs!

The ball came too timely. If it missed, the Spurs would be in danger.

Fortunately, Danny Green has a big heart. He throws the ball when he is given it, and he still scores it. He is also a talented person..."

On the court, the Lakers attack.

Paul continued to try to give Kobe the ball for the first time.

After all, Kobe's online status can make the game easier.

The Spurs obviously would not make the game easy, and Leonard chose to forcefully lock the man.

For this reason, he also received a foul.

But Kobe was really not good at catching the ball, and Duncan would pounce on him all the time. Paul took the ball from the sideline. After the game restarted, he chose to continue lobbing the ball to Gasol.

Split may not be able to stop Gasol.

Not even possible.

Moreover, in addition to singles, the Lakers also have a triangle offense.

Well, isn't the triangle offense for isolation?

That's not important. What's important is that this is a singles game assisted by an offensive system.

If I have to say it is a singles, it is also a high-end version of singles.

"The lob went to Gasol, and Paul cut in again.

Parker still didn't let Paul get what he wanted, and still followed Paul's footsteps closely.

Bang-!
Gasol started playing with his back again and squeezed in twice. Seeing that Split couldn't withstand it, Danny Green chose to shrink in to help defend..."

Then, as if waiting for Danny Green to act, Gasol quickly passed the ball to Su Bei outside the three-point line.

"Outside the three-point line on the right, Su Bei caught the ball, lifted it up, made a beautiful feint, and hit Danny Green. Su Bei dribbled the ball in.

Split wanted to help defend, but was blocked by Gasol. Su Bei rushed to the penalty area like walking on the street in the early morning. Then, he jumped up and made a high arc. The basketball passed through Duncan's fingers. , fell into the white basket..."

Swish-!
Su Bei feinted and made a layup, easily sending the damn basketball into the basket.

60 to 66! !
While the Spurs were desperately betting on outside shooting, the Lakers chose to play in the penalty area and the basket and play a solid offense.

The closer you are to the basket, the higher your hit rate. This is the truth said by Lu Xun.

The Lakers took the advice, so you can't stand it!
