Countercurrent and become a superstar

"Once again, he's single-handedly guarding Duncan!

See how Duncan plays?
A beautiful face-to-basket breakthrough, Duncan lifted the ball to shake Diop, and then rushed forward to meet the man..."

Beep——!
Swish-!
On the commentary stand, Barkley was stunned and shook his head repeatedly.

“Very nice andone!!
So what if they play low-post offense? The Spurs can also score 3 points.

As expected, Duncan cannot be let go. His low-post offensive threat is too unstoppable...

Swish-!
Despite the boos from the audience, Duncan made the free throw!
90 to 97! !
The score difference came to 7 points.

There's still drama!
On the sidelines, Popovich thought to himself.

Then, he immediately waved his hand and made substitutions. Udrih, Horry and Barry were replaced, and Parker, Bowen and Muhammad came back.

"Wow, the Spurs' starting five is back!
When the offense opened up, the Spurs wanted to have it both ways.

Defending, they don’t want to fall behind…”

To switch from offense to defense, Qin Yang asked for a traffic command tactic.

"Jamison received the ball in the high post, and Qin Yang cut without the ball and got the ball back.

Speed ​​up, rush to the basket, to the end!!

He was about to shoot, oh no, he passed the ball to Jamison who was following him, and he dunked it in the basket..."

Bang-dang——!
Qin Yang and Jamison connected and fought back on offense.

"The Spurs' defense was also dismantled layer by layer under Qin Yang's organization.

It’s impossible to defend. The Spurs’ best defense is useless…”

90 to 99! !
There is still a 9-point lead.

Looking back, Duncan, who was being bypassed, also copied the Lakers' homework, went to the high position, received the pass from Parker, and quickly passed the ball to Ginobili who cut in from the right.

It turns out that this is a double evacuation tactic.

At the same time as Duncan brought it up, Muhammad also moved to the right side, just in time to provide a screen for Ginobili who was cutting without the ball, blocking Kobe's defense.

"pretty!!

Ginobili went in, got the basketball, and immediately took the Euro step to the basket and chased Diop.

With a beep, another foul was called. Ginobili's shot from under the basket flew on the rim for a while longer..."

Bang-dang——!
The basketball rubbed against the basket several times but still failed to go in.

"Pity!!"

On the commentary desk, Kenny Smith shook his head and laughed.

"Ginobili was just a little unlucky!

Otherwise, it would be another 2+1 3-point opportunity, which would be extremely damaging to the Lakers.

However, Diop almost got hit 2+1 in a row, and he was obviously broken..."

At this time, Okur and Chandler came on the court, Diop and Payton went off the court to rest, and the Lakers' starting five also returned to their positions.

With two swishes, Ginobili, the magic sword, showed no mercy and made both free throws, continuing the Spurs' attack.

92 to 99! !
We can still see the 7-point gap in the comeback.

In the transition from offense to defense, Qin Yang continued to use a traffic command tactic.

“Okurti is at a high position!
What the hell?

Qin Yang did not lob the ball, but first made an outside screen tactic with Kobe who was moving to the right.

While Qin Yang blocked Bowen's pressure, he also passed the damn basketball to Kobe.

With the ball facing Parker, Kobe accelerated towards the basket. Parker moved sideways to catch up, but was blocked by Okur. This was another screen tactic for Kobe.

My goodness!

Muhammad's defense was exposed to Kobe's dribbling attack. He rushed to the basket and Kobe made a layup. With a beep, Muhammad was fouled. At the same time, Kobe's shot still flew into the basket. Is there a chance for 2+1..."

Bang-dang——!
Kobe couldn't get in either.

“What a pity!!”

On the commentary desk, Barkley shook his head and sighed.

"God is not on Kobe's side!
What a good 2+1 chance to respond, but I still couldn't make it..."

With two free throws, Kobe continued the Lakers' offense.

92 to 101! !
Still leading by 9 points, don't even think about getting close.

"The situation at this moment is under the control of the Lakers!

The Lakers have two golden guns on the outside, so they are not afraid of a one-on-one battle with Duncan's low-post offense.

The Lakers have the advantage of time, and the Spurs want to close the gap with a two-point attack, which is a difficult problem..."

too difficult!
In the subsequent attack, Duncan made a mistake. He seemed to pass the ball but didn't, and seemed to attack but didn't. Hesitation will lead to mistakes!

Obviously, Duncan, who has a very high basketball IQ, predicted that the Spurs would be at a disadvantage in this matchup.

However, Duncan's thoughts were obviously different from Bowen's in the corner.

The pass went out of bounds!

The Lakers have a chance to widen the gap!!

Although Qin Yang's three-point shot missed despite Parker's block, the Spurs were still in a cold sweat.

“Almost killed the chance of the match!

Qin Yang failed to seize the opportunity, but the Lakers still had the advantage on the court.

The offensive time is increasingly leaning towards the Lakers.

Moreover, another problem for the Spurs has arisen..."

The question is about Ginobili's physical condition.

There was no other way, Popovich could only replace Ginobili with Brent Barry. In the final battle, the Spurs still needed a strong and energetic Ginobili!
Afterwards, Parker suddenly became reckless and tried a three-pointer against Qin Yang's defense, which was not what Parker was good at.

But this is the top players' nose for winning!
There is nothing wrong with Parker's choice.

But my ability is limited!
Bang-dang——!
“Just a few hundred million!

Parker's three-pointer also failed to go in." "The Spurs are the ceiling of reasonable basketball, but they also have an unreasonable side.

Parker's three-pointer also made the Lakers sweat..."

“Besides, the Spurs’ offense isn’t over yet!
At the critical moment, Duncan grabbed the frontcourt rebound, saw Barry cutting in, and immediately passed the ball to him.

Catch the ball and then go for a layup..."

Swish-!
Barry scored as soon as he came on the court.

"The Spurs' inside advantage is not just Duncan's low-post offensive system.

Rebounding, defense, screen assist...

They can make their teammates better, this is the horror of Duncan..."

94 to 101! !
The score difference became 7 points.

However, the Spurs scored two points, which did too little damage to the Lakers.

Looking back, Qin Yang acted as a tool man and stopped wasting time. He passed the ball to Kobe to challenge Bowen.

"A fake shot from outside the three-point line!
Bowen obviously didn't dare let Kobe try to shoot a three-pointer. He pressed forward, and then was broken through by Kobe with the ball.

He fought and retreated, wanting to wait for Duncan to sweep in and clean up his mess.

Kobe Bryant pulled it out and used a fadeaway jumper to test the Spurs’ defense…”

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

Kobe hit a fadeaway jump shot and gave a strong counterattack.

“Great job!!”

On the commentary stand, Barkley applauded and laughed.

"Kobe showed his killer instinct, able to make the Spurs score like a tiger, but they only got a lonely result.

The Spurs want to defeat the Lakers who are leading by two points?

Duncan obviously can’t do it…”

At this time, Popovich chose to make a substitution.

Bowen was replaced by Ginobili and Muhammad was replaced by Barry.

The Spurs' lineup became Duncan, Horry, Brent Barry, Ginobili and Parker.

"Good guy!"

"This lineup is the Spurs' offensive lineup with full offensive attributes.

There are two three-point shooters in the bottom corner, two attackers in the top arc on the wing, plus Duncan's one-star four-shooter system...

The Spurs are anxious. This is a lineup that is going all out for offensive firepower, and it’s the kind that’s going for three-pointers…”

The game continued. Parker dribbled the ball to the frontcourt and passed it to Ginobili who came out to receive the ball. He was mismatched with Qin Yang and immediately broke through with the ball.

“Duncan offered cover to stop Tan Yang!
Ginobili continued to break through, and when the Lakers' defense moved inward, Ginobili went in, but then jumped out and passed the ball to Barry on the right wing.

Quickly moving to the right corner, Horry raised the ball to shoot, oh no, the basketball was transferred to Barry on the wing, who caught the ball, raised it, and shot a three-point jump shot..."

Swish-!
The knife falls and the ball goes in!

“Very nice three-pointer!
The Spurs' team basketball is simply terrifying!
Unable to defend, the Lakers focused on the Spurs' three-point shooting tactics, but still couldn't defend! "

On the commentary desk, Kenny Smith exclaimed.

"The Lakers' defense was dismantled layer by layer again..."

The outside pass and cut coordination, Ginobili and Duncan's screen tactics, Yaodao's breakthrough pass, the mutual transmission and connection of the two outside three-point shooters...

Continuously creating dislocations, going in and out, jumping back and forth left and right, no one can handle such an offensive channel!
97 to 103! !
The score difference came to 6 points.

Just two three-pointers away.

Looking back, the Spurs played a double team defense and did not take the Lakers' three-point shooting seriously at all.

“Guarding the rim and forcing the Lakers to shoot away from the rim?
This is also a choice the Spurs have no choice but to make. With their current offensive lineup, they cannot take into account both inside and outside defense.

Now we can only gamble..."

On the court, Qin Yang dribbled the ball and passed it. Jamison continued to dribble the ball but still failed to shoot.

“The Lakers’ offense hesitated!

The basketball returned to Qin Yang's hands, and then he passed the ball to Kobe on the left.

My goodness!

Bowen dares to let go, Kobe dares to shoot, raising his hand to shoot a three-pointer...

Kobe handled this ball very suddenly. Will there be a three-pointer in response..."

Bang-dang——!
The strike missed!

Kobe is still not good at long-range three-point shooting.

Duncan grabbed the rebound, dribbled the ball one step, then passed it to Parker, and then Ginobili rushed across half court.

"Ginobili got the ball and faced Kobe one-on-one in the frontcourt.

He showed off a back-to-the-basket dribble, then a change of direction breakthrough, followed by a cross-leg dribble, moving sideways to the free throw line, he pulled up, raised his hand and shot a two-point jump shot..."

Kobe was defending Ginobili's breakthrough, but unexpectedly, Ginobili was so skilled and bold that he suddenly dribbled to the free throw line and shot.

Moreover, it is very easy to score at the free throw line.

Kobe rushed out, but it was too late.

Swish-!
The knife falls and the ball goes in!

99 to 103! !
"The Spurs counterattacked and Ginobili hit the ball too hard.

They killed Kobe in a one-on-one fight and continued their counterattack.

This Spurs team is too resilient. They were trailing by 14 points, but now the deficit is only 4 points.

Besides, there are still more than 4 minutes left before the end of the game, so there is plenty of time to catch up..."

The Spurs brought the suspense of the game back with an attacking lineup that had maxed out its offensive attributes.

Seeing that the Spurs' offense was going crazy, the Lakers could only call for a timeout to stabilize their tactics and take a break!
