Countercurrent and become a superstar

After the timeout, the Spurs made a minor personnel adjustment, replacing Ginobili with Bowen.

Oh open!

Strengthen your defense!

This is to freeze Kobe's offensive firepower.

At the same time, Ginobili can conserve his energy and show his sharp sword when he needs to win the game.

"Basketball coached by Popovich really doesn't make mistakes!

Now that the Lakers' offense is gaining momentum, the Spurs immediately added defensive attributes to their lineup.

As long as the Lakers' offense is exhausted, or the Spurs' defense is effective, the Lakers will be able to make mistakes..."

only……

When the Spurs attack next time, is it really a good idea to remove Ginobili as the attacking point?
Soon, Duncan used a low-post attack to miss a shot, which showed that his offensive ability was really not at the league's ceiling.

Same as James!
Duncan also needs a scorer who can attack the ball.

Of course, the difference between him and James is that Duncan has the best defense in the league, and he doesn’t need to be such a top scorer, it’s enough! !
"Duncan and Kobe battle!
Duncan was the first to fall behind.

The Lakers got the ball, and then we'll see how Kobe will attack..."

How else can we attack?
Of course, the next step is to continue to single out rookie Udrih.

Qin Yang acted as a tool again, and was brought to the frontcourt. While passing the basketball to Kobe, he also brought Udrih's defense in front of Kobe.

"Wow, the Spurs directly ignored Qin Yang's defense!

Bowen and Udrih pounced on Kobe together.

Kobe dribbled backwards, opened up space, and immediately accelerated to the right to break through with the ball. After mobilizing the Spurs' defense, he got the shooting space, pulled out, raised his hand and made a quick stop and two-point fadeaway jump shot..."

Swish-!
The knife fell and the goal was scored!!
After Kobe scored the goal, he clenched his fists and his eyes were cold and disdainful.

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

“Maybe playing next to Duncan will make my teammates better!

but……

Playing next to Kobe, Kobe is always the most trustworthy teammate, especially when playing against a team like the Spurs.

It seems that the whole team is very nice, but in front of Kobe's unsolvable and unreasonable ceiling-level individual, they can only be beaten! ! "

"Kobe is not afraid of the Spurs' guided defense system!
Moreover, the Spurs' guards who look so outstanding are all younger brothers in front of Kobe..."

83 to 83! !
The Lakers narrowed the gap while maintaining their offensive firepower!
At this time, the pressure was on the Spurs. Duncan took the ball in the low post, trying to force Diop to get back the points he had just lost.

"What the hell?

Jamison suddenly let go of his defense on Bowen and pounced on Duncan.

Payton on the right side also moved back to the basket to protect it.

Duncan came forward and shot. Ugh, he was halfway through the shot and suddenly passed the ball to Horry who was cutting in from the right.

At this time, Horry, a role player known as a big-game player, got the basketball, and it was completely open. He pulled it up, raised his hand and shot a two-point close-range jump shot..."

Payton rushed over to block the shot, but it was too late and he could only hear the gunshot.

Bang-dang——!
Horry can't take the blame from Duncan!
“Tough again!!
It is undeniable that the Spurs play basketball that never makes mistakes!

Duncan's attack under the basket also attracted three defenders, and Duncan also had teammates who could pass the ball to the open space...

but……

Role players are role players!!
This ball was played very reasonably and there were no mistakes!

What is wrong is that the ball missed the target, and what is unreasonable is that the ball did not go in..."

Once you enter, it will be sunny!
If you don't go in, there will be thunder!
As for Horry, as a role player, if he scores, it's a favor, and if he doesn't, it's his duty.

So, it's great to play next to James!

There is no need to ask your teammates to be so stingy!
Anyway, if his teammates are not good, James can run away at any time!

Duncan can't.

Well, Kobe too!
Let’s get back to the topic, let’s get on with the game!

Duncan passed the ball in the low post, Horry missed the shot when he rushed to the basket, and the rebound was grabbed by Jamison.

At this moment, the Lakers have another chance to counterattack! !

"Pass the ball to Tan Yang!

Wow, he didn’t even look at it and then threw it to the front court.

Sure enough, Kobe got the basketball again, this time facing Bowen
The result is…" It's all the same!
Kobe got the ball and rushed to the basket without thinking. Bowen was able to fight and retreat and defend under the basket, but Kobe opened up space with his elbows and slashed towards the basket...

Bowen could only dodge.

Kobe didn't know whether the shot was blocked or not, but he knew that whenever he reached out, it would most likely be a 2+1! !
He would not make a mistake in making such a choice.

Bang-dang——!
Another powerful goal.

In Kobe's counterattack, whether he was facing Bowen, Barry, or perhaps Ginobili and Parker, he was always accurate.

You call this Kobe's lack of talent?
83 to 85! !
With Kobe's crazy offensive performance, he led the team and helped the Lakers regain the lead. At this time, Popovich replaced Ginobili with Barry.

It’s no wonder that Ginobili’s breakthrough made Qin Yang look very embarrassed.

After Qin Yang retreated to the penalty area, Ginobili passed the ball from right to left and threw the damn basketball into the hands of Duncan in the low post on the left.

“The Spurs definitely have this one!

Duncan shot off the rebound at the basket, which was his best and signature attacking method. Finally, finally, the Spurs were going to break their scoring drought..."

Bang, clang——!
Duncan's shot was definitely a rebound, but it flew away like a cooked duck.

"OMG!!

At such a critical moment, Duncan's offense suddenly lost power, as if he was dreaming, oh no, it was like sleepwalking.

This is totally wrong!!
This is the seventh game to decide the ticket to the finals!
Since it’s a matter of life and death, it’s also a matter of victory and defeat!

Duncan couldn’t get hard…”

When returning to defense, Duncan probably knew about the seventh game and was very dissatisfied with his performance. When he saw Kobe rushing to the front court with the ball, he immediately bent down and slapped the floor twice. His expressionless face also turned ferocious! !
However, Kobe took a big step past Bowen, rushed to Duncan, stopped suddenly and jumped up to pass the ball, dodged Duncan's grabbing hands in the air, and relying on his extraordinary waist and abdominal strength, he waited for Duncan's block to fall, then he hesitated and threw the basketball into the sky.

After drawing a beautiful and high arc, it fell accurately into the basket with a swish.

"Good shot!" Kenny Smith on the commentary desk also shook his head and sighed.

"Killing crazy!!
Kobe is so unsolvable!!
Duncan played defense to the extreme and even connected with Bowen on the outside. This level of defense couldn't limit Kobe's scoring?

I just want to ask a question?
Is there any royal law?
Is there still a law?"

"OMG!!

No matter how you replay it, this ball is not an offensive scoring move that a human can make.

But Kobe did it.

At that moment, he knocked down Bowen and Duncan in a row before scoring the winning goal. ”

"With this ability to stay in the air, it can't be suppressed, not even Newton's coffin lid can!"

"..."

83 to 87! !
The point difference widened to 4 points.

At this moment, Popovich, with a serious look on his face, showed the temperament of a famous coach.

He replaced the poorly-conditioned Duncan with Muhammad, and then ordered Ginobili to control the damn basketball.

In the frontcourt, Ginobili held the ball and faced Kobe, who was spitting blood. After a series of scrambles, he asked for a screen tactic. However, he was unethical. Before Horry's screen came over, Ginobili took the initiative, dribbled a step back, and shot an unreasonable three-point jump shot...

Kobe's defense is really unplayable.

In this case, the blocking action can also be blocked on Ginobili's face.

But at this moment, it is impossible to block the shot, and we can only bet that Ginobili has no bullets in his three-point pistol.

Bang-dang——!
"Another miss!

The Spurs' offense was suddenly stuck in traffic.

No one knows how to score anymore."

"Next, let's look at the Lakers' offense!
Qin Yang rushed into the game with the ball, acting recklessly.

Udrih was completely unable to resist and could only retreat to the inside, where he waited for Horry to come and provide support.

However, Qin Yang completely ignored Horry's block, only had eyes for the basket, and rushed to the basket for a layup..."

Bang-dang——!
Beep——!
Qin Yang's charge failed, but the result was good. The whistle sounded and he got the chance to shoot free throws.

Swish-!
Swish-!
Qin Yang showed no mercy and made both free throws, continuing the Lakers' offense and widening the gap between the two sides to 6 points.

83 to 89! !
After Duncan scored 2+1 at the start of the game, the Spurs' offense stagnated.

There was no other way, Popovich could only continue to make personnel adjustments. Duncan, who had just rested for 1 minute, came on the court, and Parker, who had enough rest time, also returned to the court.

At this time, the Spurs' lineup became GDP plus Bowen and Horry.

They are going to fight hard!!
