Chapter 102 Malone: ​​If you dare to touch Kobe, I will destroy Duncan!

"Take it Back!"

The slogan of revenge against the Spurs sounded again at the Staples Center, and G2 of the Western Conference Finals between the Lakers and the Spurs also started.

At the beginning of the game, Rasu Nesterovic, who had been soft for a long time, finally hardened for a while and helped the Spurs jump to get the ball.

However, the Spurs, who got the ball, could not make good use of this offensive opportunity.

Like G1, the Spurs were limited because of the outsiders who should get the ball, and the rest of the players were lackluster.

It is also because there is no threat to the ball holding point, and the Spurs can't play passes and cuts.

The Spurs need Bowen to stand up and play Fisher back, which shows how poor the Spurs are.

However, Fisher's top defense ability is not bad!You must know that before Dunn came to the Lakers, Fisher often played as Kobe's singles trainer.

Jordan trained Pippen's defense, and Kobe also enhanced Fisher's physical confrontation and top defense.

The Heat James could be stopped by Fisher's unicorn arm when he ran, but James staggered instead, which shows how strong Fisher's confrontation is.

After Bowen found that Fisher was not moving much with his back and top, he could only turn around and break through, but his old arms and legs couldn't run fast, and he couldn't get rid of Fisher's defense, so he had to stop and shoot a jumper.

The Spurs let Bowen play singles, which is like the Pistons letting Big Ben attack with the ball.

Under Fisher's interference, Bowen's ball lived up to expectations and ended in a strike.

O'Neal at the basket used Malone to block Duncan, protected the backboard, and then passed the ball to Dunn.

Because it is playing against the Spurs, the Lakers don't have to play too fast.

Dunn held the ball in the top arc after taking the ball, and waited for O'Neal to walk slowly to the frontcourt before starting the high pick-and-roll.

Obviously, Popovich did some research and adjustments on the pick-and-roll between Duane and O'Neal.

At this time, Duncan was standing at the free throw line, and Rasu Nesterovic was crouching under the basket.

With the help of O'Neal's cover, Dunn ran to the left along the three-point line, and then used Malone's cover from the low post to the bull's corner, turning from a 45-degree angle to the basket and breaking through.

Two consecutive screens made Duncan's help defense completely useless.

When Duen got to the basket, Parker and Rasu Nesterovich double-teamed him one after another. Duen was not afraid at all. He just made a simple lob and passed the ball to the pick-and-roll. To the hands of Malone at the bottom of the basket.

After receiving the ball, Malone sent it forward a little and put the ball into the basket.

The Spurs, who were supposed to play pass and cut, did not play the effect of pass and cut. The Lakers, which mainly focus on superstar basketball, completed a pass and cut cooperation under the series of Duane.

There is no doubt that if the game continues like this, the Spurs have absolutely no chance of defeating the Lakers.

After playing more than 5 minutes in the first quarter, the score on the court came to 9 to 14. Although the difference of 5 points in half a quarter is not too much, it is also true that the Spurs cannot prevent the Lakers' pick-and-roll.

There is no way, Popovich can only call a timeout to adjust.

Ginobili replaced Parker and came to the field. The Spurs' defense improved slightly, but the problem was that the Spurs had difficulty scoring under the Lakers' defense.

Duncan can forcibly score 20 or [-] points in other games, but against the current Lakers, he can only contribute [-]+ points steadily, and no more.

Because the Lakers don't need Malone's offense, Malone can also use all his energy to defend Duncan.

There is even an O'Neal behind Malone.

Duncan needs to help his teammates on the outside to make up defenses while maintaining efficient scoring, and occasionally needs to carry O'Neal inside.

The burden of both offense and defense was on Duncan's shoulders, causing Duncan to only show an epee without a front and a simple and unpretentious look.

No one in the Spurs can score high points, and there is no way to effectively limit the Lakers' scoring. In the end, they can only watch the Lakers complete their revenge and advance to the finals.

So, is there a way to effectively limit the Lakers' scoring?
Of course there is!
Although the Spurs did not pay the luxury tax, they also spent a lot of money, and Duncan's contract is not particularly big, so where did the money go?
The Spurs don't support idlers!

More than 7 minutes into the first quarter, Duane and O'Neal were both tired. Duane chose to pass the ball to Kobe, and Kobe accepted it without hesitation.

At this moment, Bowen, who had been waiting for a long time, finally attacked Kobe, oh no!
Fortunately, Kobe had been prepared for a long time. Although Bowen's step made Kobe fall down, Kobe was not injured. Instead, he had an extra free throw opportunity.

However, while Kobe stood on the free throw line without saying a word, Malone took the initiative to come to Bowen's side, pretending to grab a rebound, but actually took the opportunity to hold Bowen's arm.

"Listen to me, if you dare to back Kobe again, then I will abolish Duncan!"

Hearing Malone's low-pitched threat, Bowen's heartbeat seemed to slow down by a second.

However, at this moment, Kobe stumbled and made a free throw!
Malone's attention was refocused on the basketball, and he was about to take off, but he didn't want his arms to be caught.

That is to say, Ma Long has rich experience in the game, and his reaction is sensitive enough. He turned around directly to relieve his strength, and at the same time raised the other arm, elbowed towards the opponent, and then fell down, pretending that they were fighting each other.

In other words, Huo Li, who used the anti-joint technique to remove Malone's arm, was also a little guilty.

In order to prevent the situation of stealing chickens and losing money, Huo Li always pays attention to Malone's movements.

Huo Li noticed that Malone suddenly lost his strength and broke free, and then used the ultimate move - Malone's elbow, to attack him fiercely, so he immediately turned his head and turned to avoid it.

I didn't want to, but I was still hit by the experienced Ma Long's elbow, and my chest was hit hard. The pain was extremely painful, as if several bones were cracked.

boom--

Huo Li couldn't bear the strength and fell to the ground first, and Ma Long took advantage of the situation to press on him and launched a second attack on Huo Li.

It can only be said that the wicked have their own grind!
You know, Rodman couldn't do anything to Malone back then, let alone a young man like Horry!
Horry's playing is indeed dirty, and he is willing to do dirty work with his face, but in terms of dirt, how can it compare to Karl Malone, one of the Utah Shuangsha?
Anyone who plays with fire must set himself on fire!

Horry won three championship rings with the Lakers by doing dirty work. After finding out that the Lakers couldn’t beat the Spurs, he chose the most difficult path—joining if he couldn’t beat the Spurs, and became Popovich’s right hand go-getters.

Now I want to show my unique skills to help Duncan solve Malone's trouble.

Unexpectedly, Ma Long is not used to playing with an ax in front of Ma Long, and Ma Long's elbow teaches him to be a man.

It is worth mentioning that the referee only paid attention to the movement of the rebound and did not pay attention to the small movements under the basket. Not to mention that some conflicts broke out during the period.

In the playoffs, it's normal to have actions!I didn't care too much when I saw someone falling to the ground fighting for rebounds.

Besides, this is the home of the Lakers!
If there is no home whistle in the playoffs, is it still called a home game?
Therefore, even if the referees on the scene see it clearly, they will favor Malone. After all, they also look down on players like Horry!

He obviously still has some love with the Lakers, but he chose to become a traitor and join the rival Spurs. Today, he put on a stance of declaring himself as his own master, killing relatives righteously, and in turn attacked the Lakers players.

This kind of mad dog who bites everyone and eats by biting people indiscriminately will not be liked by real fans no matter where he goes.

It is impossible for the on-site referee to understand the ball. Even if they also have a home team, they will have subjective emotions, but people like Horry basically don't look straight.

Having said that, the referee didn't blow the whistle, so the game naturally didn't stop.

Ma Long expressed his familiarity with this. In the finals that year, he and Rodman hugged and wrestled each other, pretending that nothing happened.

This time is the same, choose to get up as if nothing happened, join up with teammates in the backcourt, and do a good job of defense.

After Malone returned to the defense, Horry could only endure the severe pain in his chest and slowly got up from the ground.

Horry didn't expect that beforehand, his original intention was to abolish Malone and relieve Duncan's pressure, but Malone took the opportunity to fight back when he didn't want to.

"Oh, I'm in trouble!" Huo Li could only do nothing but resign himself to fate.

The Lakers have a villain like Malone in charge, and the Spurs really can't use conventional outside moves that won't make it to the big scene.

Ever since, the only thing the Spurs can rely on if they want to win is Duncan's personal strength.

However, the Spurs only have one Duncan, but the Lakers have a double-first team OK combination, and Duane, the best rookie who was not selected to the best team, but played harder than the best team players!

"Didn't it be agreed that Shaq was injured and couldn't return to his peak form?
Didn't it say that Kobe was going to fight for the boss, and was also affected by off-court factors?
Why did the Lakers win the championship once I left the Lakers? "

Horry also couldn't figure out how this year's Lakers suddenly became so strong. It seems that the Lakers of previous years didn't have such dominance!
