Countercurrent and become a superstar

How to catch up after falling behind by 14 points?
Popovich put up a one-star four-shooter lineup to max out the offensive attributes!
With Duncan as the star, the other four are Horry, Barry, Ginobili and Udrih.

The fourth quarter started and the Spurs had the ball first.

"As a rookie, Udrih faced Qin Yang and steadily lobbed the basketball under the basket.

Facing the double team of Jamison and Diop, Duncan passed the ball to the left three-point corner. Horry was left open. He caught the ball and without any extra moves, he raised his hand and shot a three-point jump shot..."

By the time Jamison jumped out, it was too late.

Combining inside and outside, pulling the space to the extreme position, that is, the bottom corners on both sides!

Swish-!
The knife falls and the goal is scored!

"Hori made a move!!

He is worthy of being called a three-point killer in big games, especially in such desperate situations when the Spurs needed a three-pointer to save the situation.

Horry stepped up and made a fierce three-pointer.

Of course, Duncan's low-post destructive power is also high.

If the Lakers take care of their heads, they will not be able to take care of their butts...

This is the advantage of playing next to Duncan!
Well, O'Neal did it too.

Once upon a time, Horry was O'Neal's regular evacuation shooter.

81 to 92! !
The score difference became 11 points.

The Spurs bet on a three-point shot and won on the first possession.

Looking back, Qin Yang continued to be a reckless person, chasing after Youdri and hitting him.

"Haha, Qin Yang is too steady.

He did not act recklessly just because he was in the lead, as Udrih was obviously unable to withstand the impact of Qin Yang.

Wow, Ginobili seemed to have predicted it. He released his defense on Payton and chose to double-team Qin Yang.

Beautiful! Qin Yang pulled the ball up and passed it to Payton who cut into the basket.

He caught the ball and rushed to the basket, causing Horry to foul..."

Beep——!
The whistle blew, and Payton got the chance to shoot free throws. A seasoned player like Horry obviously wouldn't give Payton the chance to easily dunk.
If you can't defend, then send Payton to the free throw line. This is basic operation!

Bang-dang——!
Swish-!
The Spurs made one of two free throws and earned a profit.

81 to 93! !
The score difference is still 12 points.

The difference is not much from 14 points, so the Spurs still need to grab three points.

"The Lakers have basically predicted the tactics that the Spurs are thinking of.

But the Lakers still put Duncan in a dead rhythm. Duncan received the ball in the low post and was double-teamed by the Lakers.

Basketball is the same as before, combining inside and outside tactics, with simple techniques but hard to defend against.

Horry received the ball and shot again. Can he continue with this shot?
Bang-dang——!
This time there is no three points!

The basketball bounced out of the basket.

But the Spurs' offense was not over yet. Duncan passed the ball away, and Barry rushed in, grabbed the ball, and immediately rushed to the basket for a layup.

Diop was a beat late in protecting the basket, and he was obviously hesitant..."

Swish-!
Barry rushed to the basket and made a layup, scoring two points.

It is impossible to score without a single attack, and if that doesn't work, then try a second time.

Duncan can not only provide assists from the low post, but also influence the game on the rebounds.

This is the stabilizing effect that a top-level inside player plays on a championship-contending team.

83 to 93! !
The point difference became 10 points! !

"This ball is so crucial!!" Kenny Smith exclaimed on the commentary desk.

“This is a Spurs team win!
If the team dares to give him a chance, Horry will dare to shoot three-pointers. As a shooter, Barry will also give his all without reservation...

Of course, Duncan's move under the basket also reversed the offensive and defensive situation on the court.

The Spurs are not fighting alone. When they fall behind, they will not just leave their fate to the stars.

They’re all fighting…”

In the transition from offense to defense, Qin Yang controlled the ball to the frontcourt and was immediately pressed by Udrih.

Continuous movement under the legs, breaking through in different directions.

Ginobili's assist defense saved the ball again, and Udrih fought and retreated.

"Qin Yang went in and jumped out again!

The Spurs used a zone defense tactic to help Udrih fill in the gaps, but Qin Yang's offensive attributes were ultimately not strong enough.

Oh, Qin Yang did what the Spurs wanted and chose to pass the ball to Kobe on the left.
My goodness!

Kobe's advantage is more obvious. When facing off against outside stars, the Lakers have a clear advantage.

Kobe broke through, stopped suddenly, and shot a two-point jump shot with a smooth rhythm and beautiful posture. This ball must have been scored..." Clang!
The strike missed!

Barry was a little confused. He obviously couldn't defend it, but he didn't lose any points. God was on their side.

“Kobe’s shot missed!!
The Lakers' offensive process was fine, but their advantage was not converted into points.

The rebound was protected by Duncan, and the Spurs got an offensive opportunity to narrow the point difference to single digits..."

On the court, the Spurs attack.

Ginobili automatically went to the outside to receive the ball and faced Kobe's defense with the ball.

"Continuous fake moves, but Kobe blocked them all!

Kobe didn't score on offense, so he obviously had to work hard on defense.

Wow, Duncan moved to the high position to screen for Ginobili, and Kobe was blocked.

Ginobili seized the opportunity, dribbled the ball, sped up, and snaked out of the penalty area.

Seeing Diop rushing towards the basket, the Lakers retreated from the outside. Ginobili continued to rush inside. He reached the bottom and shot. Oh no, the basket attracted all the defense and passed the ball.

Duncan followed up, took the ball, and dunked it...

Bang-dang——!
After scoring the goal, Duncan beat his chest and roared. There were also three good students, student leaders, oh no, it was a man with expressionless face.

85 to 93! !
The point difference was only 8 points.

On the commentary stand, Barkley watched and shook his head.

“It’s impossible to defend against it! It’s impossible to defend against it!

Duncan and Ginobili, if taken individually, are unstoppable in offense.

Now the two of them are not following the rules of martial arts, but are playing tactical coordination. Duncan sets a screen, Ginobili breaks through and passes the ball, completing the connection. The Lakers' defense is being dismembered layer by layer. What can you use to resist..."

Looking back, Qin Yang did not panic. He continued to act recklessly and fired at Youdri...

“Another call for a fight!

Udrih fought and retreated, wanting to wait for his teammates to clean up the mess.

Qin Yang, however, did not do as he wished. He rushed to the restricted area, and before Ginobili's assist and Duncan's sweep were in place, he pulled up the ball and shot with his horse..."

Beep——!
Bang-dang——!
Udrih finally chose to foul to disrupt Qin Yang's layup.

"The Lakers don't understand defense, and the Spurs don't even think about understanding it!!" Barkley said with a smile on the commentary desk.

"The Lakers were able to exploit the Spurs' outside lineup advantage and made another success.

No matter how powerful the Spurs' one-star-four-shooter system is, it cannot change the fact that their outside shooters are not as talented as theirs..."

With two swishes, Qin Yang showed no mercy and made the free throws steadily.

85 to 95! !
The point difference is still 10 points.

Snapped--!
When returning to defense, Qin Yang and Kobe high-fived to boost their morale.

Next, the Lakers' defense began to make adjustments.

"Wow, they chose to defend!
This is to block the Spurs' attempt to grab three-pointers.

Hey, the Lakers are defending Duncan alone, what are they going to do..."

On the court, Udrih lobbed the ball to Duncan. However, the Lakers, who had defended against the double-team tactics in the first three quarters, changed their previous defensive rhythm, and Duncan actually challenged Diop in the low post.

Bang-!
He headed in with his back to the goal, turned and faked the ball, flicked Diop, and then turned and hooked the ball...

Swish-!
"pretty!
Duncan has no problem in one-on-one duels!
The Lakers' calculations were not successful, and an 8-point lead is not safe..."

In the transition from offense to defense, Qin Yang controlled the ball to the frontcourt and continued to dribble through.

"After going in, Qin Yang jumped out again, and then passed the ball to Kobe on the left!

Oh no, Qin Yang’s organization and passing are very strong. I have no chance, so I will give the damn basketball to Kobe and compete with Duncan in a one-on-one match…”

Swinging left and right!

Dribble under the legs to accelerate!
Barry was easily broken through and entered the paint. When he got to a comfortable position, Kobe raised his hand and shot a two-point fadeaway jumper...

Swish-!
The knife falls and the goal is scored!

Kobe Bryant defeated Brent Barry with ease, and after scoring the goal, there was an emotionless expression on his face.

87 to 97! !
"The Lakers' offensive and defensive strategies are very thoughtful!"

On the commentary desk, Kenny Smith said with his eyes lighting up.

"This is to let Kobe and Duncan compete in their respective offensive hardness and endurance!

Kobe is the scoring leader this season. The Lakers have a trump card of Kobe's level, so they have the confidence to play like this.

Next, it depends on whether the Spurs will accept the challenge..."
