Countercurrent and become a superstar

"Udrih, Ginobili and Brent Barry, the Spurs' three outside musketeers, obviously can't stop the Lakers' golden double guns and Payton.

Sure enough, Qin Yang dribbled the ball and disrupted the Spurs' defensive formation as soon as he broke through.

Udrih couldn't hold on, Ginobili came over to defend, and Qin Yang passed the ball to Payton who cut in.

Catch the ball, pull up, and shoot a two-point jump shot near the free throw line..."

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

There is no one who can fight!
The Spurs' outside shooting threat is naturally top-notch, but they are top-heavy and can't defend, especially against Kobe, Qin Yang and Payton.

27 to 26! !
Looking back, since the Spurs know that defense can't do it, then let's not do it.

Duncan threatened in the low post again, then passed the ball to Horry...

“Eh——!
There are new changes!

Horry didn't shoot directly, but dribbled to the wing.

At the same time, Barry cut outside without the ball and made a screen cooperation with Horry who was moving over.

Pretty!

While Horry blocked Kobe's pursuit, he also passed the damn basketball to Barry.

In the left corner, Barry got the basketball and had shooting space, so he raised his hand and shot a three-point jump shot..."

This is the Spurs' simplified version of the triangle offense!
At this time, Horry played the role of a supporting axis. With such simple passing, cutting and screening, to be honest, he only got a one-on-one mismatch attack opportunity.

but……

If such a tactic is based on Duncan's low-post one-on-one system, the offensive means used will be able to dismember all of the Lakers' defense.

You can only hear the gunshots!

Swish-!
With a quick move, the Spurs made a three-pointer.

“Very nice three point shot!!

Absolutely, this goal was beautiful!!

A one-star and four-shooter system, plus two three-point shooters providing outside coverage, you simply can't beat them!
The Spurs rained three-pointers and fought for offensive shots, and the Spurs players were not afraid of the Lakers at all.

Even if the Spurs field such a lineup, it is very likely that they will compete with the Lakers in shooting skills..."

It's not even a possibility, it's a certainty!

Although Horry had a crappy 03% three-point shooting percentage in the 5 playoffs, a shooter in such big games has already gotten beyond the low level of shooting percentage!
Barry didn’t make the playoffs last season, but his three-point shooting percentage was as high as 45%. This season he needs to adapt to the Spurs’ system. His regular season shooting percentage was only 35%, but in the playoffs he was able to hit 43% of his three-point shooting percentage! !
At this time in the NBA league, mid-range shots are still king. If there is a team that can develop three-point shooting that can kill the opponent's outside firepower, that team definitely includes the Spurs!
Iron-blooded defense is just the Spurs team's protective color for stability!

If they focus on offense, they can also be a team at the level of the Finals!
30 to 26! !
On the sidelines, Popovich nodded with satisfaction!

The Spurs only spent $4700 million on total salary this season, and bench depth has always been a problem for this small-city team.

Well, the lineup is too thin anyway!

Now that the Spurs' offensive lineup is in place, they are able to suppress the Lakers and are in the lead, which is like winning a battle, and they are very happy inside.

On the court, the Spurs, who had succeeded in offense, immediately went on defense.

They naturally knew the pros and cons of this one-star and four-star lineup, and simply retreated and played like turtles on defense.

Duncan sat under the basket, Udrih led the defense, and the others retreated to the three-point line.

"Oh!
This is the rhythm that forces the Lakers to shoot away from the basket!

That's right, the Spurs have already withstood the test of the three-point rain, and it's time to test the Lakers' long-range shooting ability.

This is the rhythm that the Spurs like, and they chose a battlefield that suits their strong offense and weak defense..."

On the court, Qin Yang calmly directed traffic, allowing Jamison to receive the ball in the high post, and then cut into the basket without the ball.

"Jamison is a threat to shoot from the field!
While providing screen for Tan Yang, he also passed the basketball to Tan Yang.
Qin Yang went in but didn't find an opportunity, so he jumped out again, passed the basketball to Payton, and then dribbled the ball inside. Ginobili fought and retreated, and waited for Duncan's sweeping help.

Hey, the Lakers played very well, and Payton didn't waste time either, passing the ball to Kobe, who continued to dribble the ball, and Barry couldn't stand it, so he fouled..."

Beep——!
Bang-dang——!
Kobe took the baton, broke through, successfully caused damage, and got a free throw opportunity at the free throw line.

“This is totally using physical talent to bully people!
Whether it's Qin Yang versus Udrih, or Payton versus Ginobili, especially Kobe versus Barry, in terms of physical talent, they are all top-notch horses versus middle-class horses! The advantage is on my side, so it's not surprising that fouls come to make up for it..."

With two swishes, Kobe showed no mercy and made all the free throws steadily, continuing the Lakers' offense.

30 to 28! !
You have one more point in three-point shooting than in two-point shooting, but the Spurs are still in the lead.

In the transition from offense to defense, since it is a one-star four-star lineup, the Spurs' offensive style remains unchanged. Duncan still creates opportunities in the low post and passes the ball to Horry in the bottom corner...

"pretty!
Another fake shot and a real pass!

The basketball came into Barry's hands and he continued to raise the ball to shoot.

What the hell, it was predicted, Kobe made a steal
Barry made a mistake!
Kobe got the ball and immediately joined the counterattack..."

He rushed to the frontcourt and turned around to dunk, showing off a dunk move that was worth 9 points and put the basketball into the basket.

30 to 30! !
"Don't blame me for being too frank. In terms of talent and personal strength, Brent Barry is not qualified to attend the meeting on the Western Conference Finals floor with Kobe!

Bo Povich and Duncan allowed Barry to stand on a floor that was not suitable for him.

Therefore, hesitation will lead to mistakes, and the more you do, the more mistakes you will make..."

As long as he gets the ball and throws it, no matter how good Kobe is at defense or how much more talented he is, he can only listen to the gunshot.

"In the first half, Parker, Ginobili and Barry all made mistakes!
This is the difference in the outside lineups between the two sides!
But the scores of both sides were evenly matched..."

By the way, a good foundation can make teammates around you better!

Looking back, Ginobili took the ball and faced Payton's defense.

"Look at what Ginobili did?
Wow, after taking a few steps, Ginobili decisively decided on a tactic!
Duncan set a high screen, Ginobili took the opportunity to get rid of it, dribbled the ball, oh no, he dribbled under his legs, pulled back to the three-point line, and then, he pulled up, raised his hand and shot a three-point jump shot..."

No matter how good Payton is at defense, he can only bet on Ginobili to shoot and rub around outside when the Spurs are operating two-on-one and playing unethical.

Swish-!
The knife falls and the ball goes in! !
"OMG!
The Spurs' three-pointers keep raining!
Ginobili also made a three-pointer, and now it was the Lakers' turn to be in trouble.

With Duncan grabbing rebounds under the basket, the Spurs' outside shooters can shoot three-pointers without any worries.

But no matter how much they vote, they still win!
The rhythm of the game was suddenly controlled by the Spurs.

Moreover, it was created by attacking..."

33 to 30! !
Basketball, after all, is essentially a sport of shooting and scoring goals.

The so-called talent and strength are no match for accurate shooting techniques.

In the small ball era that followed, shooting talent became a top talent.

The Spurs rained three-pointers, but the Lakers did not panic.

After all, Lu Xun said that the closer you are to the basket, the lower your hit rate.

The Lakers have the talent advantage, so I can just play with the success rate instead of gambling on three-point shooting with the Spurs.

In the transition from offense to defense, Qin Yang took the ball to the frontcourt and started to charge into the opponent again.

"pretty!
Qin Yang ignored Ginobili's help defense and chose to face the Spurs' perimeter defense, just like riding a horse and shooting an arrow, and took a two-point shot..."

Swish-!
Qin Yang also took action.

"This ball completely devoured the Spurs' defense!!

Tan Yang showed his unreasonable basketball skills again, but as long as he caught the mouse and scored points, he is a good cat..."

33 to 32! !
The game situation has become a situation where I don’t understand defense and you can’t understand it either.

Popovich on the sidelines was very calm.

The question is a give-and-take situation, which the Spurs can accept.

After all, the Lakers are fighting a rich war.

Whenever the Lakers fail to establish a leading advantage, they will suffer.
