Countercurrent and become a superstar

"The Lakers are in trouble on offense!

Whether it is Qin Yang or Kobe, their touch is not up to standard.

Although the Lakers have the talent advantage, it’s useless if they can’t get in.

On the other hand, the Spurs relied on their excellent team tactics and two role players to display extraordinary strength and score points one after another, which eroded the Lakers' lead. We will see whether the situation on the field will continue or change..."

Offense and defense transition, the Spurs attack!

The Lakers' double-team tactics were eventually shaken. The Lakers could no longer withstand the Spurs' excellent teamwork that made fun of them, and perhaps they could keep Duncan alive occasionally.

However, the Lakers chose to defend alone and were quickly punished by Duncan's low-post attack.

Duncan held the ball and faced the basket. He raised the ball and faked it, shifting Chandler's defensive focus. He immediately collected the ball, dribbled inside, got close to the basket, raised the ball and shook it, turned around, and shot a hook shot...

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

57 to 57! !
Duncan swung the 40-knife long sword and easily killed the boxing champion.

Chandler's defense was like a puppet, and he was controlled by Duncan's simple basic low-post techniques.

"Single guard Duncan!
The Lakers don't have the ability to defend inside.

But if they choose to double-team, the gears of the Spurs' team offensive system starting with Duncan in the low post will start to turn." Barkley spread his hands on the commentary desk.

"The Lakers' defense can't handle Duncan at all!!

At this time, they need to make a choice.

Should they continue to force Duncan to death and use the double-team tactic, or should they make the Spurs' team tactics fail and let Duncan's one-on-one challenge punish the Lakers' internal flaws?
It’s difficult!!

Now the score is tied, the Lakers have problems on both offense and defense..."

How to break this game?
Qin Yang controlled the ball to the frontcourt, continued to be a reckless man, and then used his physical talents to attack Parker specifically.

"Qin Yang broke through, he went in, he shot, oh no, he jumped out.

The ball was passed to the right three-point corner, Jamison was open, he caught the ball, raised his hand and shot a three-point jump shot.

The Lakers need a third scoring point to step up and solve the problem, just like in Game 4, when the golden duo can't defeat the Spurs!

Could that person be Jamison..."

Bang-dang——!
The strike missed.

Jamison has three-point shooting range, but he hasn't trained to the point where he can kill his opponents from the three-point line.

Moreover, this person needs a lot of ball possession to improve his shooting touch.

In Qin Yang's previous life, Jamison broke out in the Wizards because one of Arenas or Butler was injured and absent. The team could only play around Jamison and give him unlimited firing rights.

Obviously, this cannot be done with Kobe on the Lakers' roster!
It would be the same even if he moved to the Cavaliers in his previous life and played alongside James.

"The Lakers' offense still failed to open up the situation!
The three outside musketeers' offense was all in vain.

Next, let’s look at the Spurs’ offense?

What the hell?

Duncan, who was being defended by Chandler in front, moved to set a screen for Parker who was controlling the ball in the high post. Qin Yang was blocked in the defense, and Parker got the space to shoot, but he actually shot?
What kind of crappy operation is this?

Parker did not show his sharp breakthrough and accurate two-point shooting, but chose to test the Lakers' defense with a three-pointer..."

Don't talk about martial arts!

Two against one, and the player just threw the ball away. No matter how good Qin Yang is at defense, he was caught off guard by this sudden and unreasonable attack. He could only bet that Parker had no bullets in his three-point gun.

Swish-!
"OMG!!

Parker's three-pointer actually went in.

This shot was incredible and very damaging.

Well, no, it’s also extremely insulting!

You know, the Lakers just missed an open three-pointer in the corner.

Parker responded with his weak three-point shot, which he made accurately..."

60 to 57! !
The Spurs fought back from a 6-point deficit to take a 3-point lead.

Fortunately, this gap is still within the Lakers' shooting range.

In the transition from offense to defense, Qin Yang chose to steal the show and continued to rush with the ball, trying to get back the points he had just lost in front of Parker.

“Parker couldn’t withstand Tan Yang’s attack!
Ginobili came over to assist, and Qin Yang, who had entered the restricted area, chose to continue passing the ball to the right corner. Oh no, it was just a fake shot. Qin Yang shook off Ginobili's defense and chose to go up by himself, using a three-step layup and a shot. This ball was..."

Bang-dang——!
The strike missed.

Lu Xun once said that the closer to the basket, the higher the hit rate. However, Qin Yang deviated from this truth. He rushed to the basket but still couldn't get the damn basketball in.

On the other side, Kobe's face was cold and his eyes were questioning, as if to ask, why doesn't he play the ball?

Qin Yang did not show Westbrook's confused expression, but made a gesture to indicate that there was no need to panic.

Point to the score!!
Only 3 points behind!

Looking back, when the Spurs attacked, Parker did not recklessly play anymore and chose to play in the low post.

"Duncan received the ball, and the Lakers continued their double-team.

Duncan decisively passed the ball to Bowen who was cutting in, and the Lakers' defense retreated inward, trying to block the Spurs' offensive tactics of rushing to the basket.

Just now, both Bowen and Horry rushed towards the basket.

Bowen threw the ball out, Parker on the left wing caught the ball, raised his hand, and shot a three-point jump shot...

Come again? "

Qin Yang retreated inward. After all, Parker's mid-range shot was accurate, but his three-point shot was not good enough to kill his opponent. He just ate his sister-in-law, ah, dumplings.

Unexpectedly, Parker is so ambitious. He dares to shoot the three-pointer as long as his teammates dare to pass the ball to him!

Qin Yang rushed out desperately, but it was too late.

Swish-!
“Oh my god!!
Parker, who was accurate in mid-range shooting and mediocre in three-point shooting, suddenly became the protagonist on the court, raining three-pointers and blasting the Lakers' basket to pieces.

Lakers are in danger!!
Just after halfway through the third quarter, the Spurs' offensive wave gave us a 12-point lead, erasing a 6-point deficit and turning the game around to take a 6-point lead.

“The Lakers called a timeout!
In this situation where the Spurs are gaining momentum on offense, the Lakers really need to take a break.

I don’t know, just take a break…”

It doesn't matter whether it works or not, the key is to interrupt the Spurs' offensive rhythm.

At this time, the Lakers did not have coach Tom Ivanović to lead the team. Frank Hamblen could not control the situation at all and could only say some nice words. The rest was only...

"Next, let Kobe deal with that damn basketball!!"

It’s no wonder that Tyronn Lue’s special moves will still be very useful in the future.

After the timeout, Qin Yang took the ball to the frontcourt and acted as a tool man. While passing the ball to Kobe, he also brought Parker's defense in front of Kobe.

Qin Yang cut to the left side of the 45-degree three-point line without the ball, and Cook in the penalty area came out to form an offensive triangle with Kobe who was holding the ball on the wing.

Of course, tactics don’t matter!
The important thing is that Kobe got the basketball and faced Parker.

“Left and right!
Parker was carried past by Kobe in one step like he was walking through the streets in the early morning, and rushed into the penalty area. Seeing Duncan sweeping over, he continued to dribble the ball forward..."

Bang-dang——!
Beep——!
Kobe missed the shot, but caused Duncan to commit a hand foul and got the chance to shoot free throws.

“This is the playoff experience!!

When your team's offense is not going well, go to the basket and rush to the hoop, and you will have a chance to get a solid free throw opportunity.

Shooting from the outside is unreliable and undesirable…”

Swish-!
Swish-!
Kobe made both free throws, finally, finally helping the Lakers score points, which was like a timely rain.

63 to 59! !
The point difference is only 4 points.

At this time, Popovich also took action and started to play a long-term strategy, letting Ginobili go off the court to rest and then fight hard in the fourth quarter.

However, as soon as Brent Barry replaced Ginobili, he made a mistake.

The basketball was intercepted by Qin Yang.

“Lakers strike back!
Qin Yang rushed to the front court, with great skills and courage, and chose to end the game with a jump shot from the free throw line. The rhythm of this shot was good, so it must be..."

Bang-dang——!
The opportunity came, but Qin Yang's shooting was so poor that he failed to seize the counterattack opportunity and missed the chance to close the game.

Fortunately, after the timeout tactics, Kobe's foul free throws, and the Spurs' offensive mistakes, the time was cooled down.

Afterwards, the Spurs' offense fell into Parker's hands. He continued to try to resolve the battle with three-point shots, but his shots missed.

Moreover, he missed consecutive three-point shots.

Although the Lakers' offense has not yet exploded, the Spurs' offensive firepower is congested.

On the field, the situation was tense again.

After the third quarter, with the help of multiple points, Parker made 7 of 4 shots, 4 of 2 three-pointers, and scored 10 points in a single quarter, the Spurs beat the Lakers with a score of 31 to 20.

After the first three quarters, the score was 80 to 75, and the Spurs entered the fourth quarter decisive battle with a 5-point advantage.

The Lakers' so-called golden duo, Qin Yang made 6 of 1 shots and Kobe made 4 of 1 shots, so it was not surprising that they lost their lead.
