Double stars shine in Los Angeles

Chapter 32 Tony Parker
After the first quarter, the Lakers temporarily lead the Spurs at home by 26 points 20-[-] away. However, the situation of the Lakers is not optimistic. Kobe Bryant's offense on the outside was frequently blocked except for the brief burst at the beginning.The other players on the team don't feel good, and it's hard to help the team. It's almost like running back and forth on the court.In addition, the team's internal and external support point Pau Gasol is not strong enough, and he is also greatly restricted under the defense of Tim Duncan.All in all, the Lakers did not give full play to their advantages.

Gregg Popovich was very angry now, glaring at his players fiercely, "What are you doing! Where is our defense going! Who can tell me! Can you do anything worse!" Gregg Popovich growled loudly.

Seeing that the players all lowered their heads and no one said anything, Gregg Popovich was not good enough to continue to teach his players, and began to arrange personnel for the second quarter, "Tony Parker will continue to stay on the court in the following games, and the center Matt Bonner, power forward Boris Diaw, small forward Manu Ginobili, shooting guard Gary Neal. The offense uses pick-and-roll tactics, Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili enhance individual breakthroughs To score, other players pay attention to the return pass after the pick-and-roll breakthrough, wait for the opportunity to shoot or enter the basket to score. When defending, we use two-three defenses. When necessary, we double-team the opponent's main scorer. The inside players protect our defensive rebounds. "Then began to explain the detailed tactical arrangements to the players on the tactical board.

For the Lakers, head coach Mike Brown yelled loudly to his players, "Although we temporarily lead by six points, the situation of the game is not optimistic. Our internal and external offenses have been greatly restricted! We will be in the next game You must break the opponent's restrictions. If you have the opportunity, you must make a quick shot. Don't give the opponent the opportunity to double-team, so as to reduce the mistakes of the players with the ball. The players who will play later are center Andrew Bynum, power forward Li Yifeng, Matt Barnes at small forward, Fengzhe Lin at shooting guard, Steve Blake at point guard."

After speaking, Mike Brown took out the tactical board and began to lay out specific tactics, "Lin Fengzhe and Li Yifeng are the main attackers, Andrew Bynum is responsible for the rebounds and the team's second offense, and Matt Barnes is responsible for the free throw line." Running off the ball, shooting after receiving the pass, Steve Blake as an outside three-point shooting spot. Zone defense when defending, the Spurs will definitely play Manu Ginobili in the second quarter, Perimeter players are strong in defense against breakthroughs." Speaking of which, he glanced at Steve Blake from the corner of his eye, wondering what he was thinking.

Soon the rest time ended, and the second quarter began. Players from both sides returned to the court, and the Spurs started to attack first.

Seeing that Tony Parker was still on the court, Lin Fengzhe couldn't help being stunned for a moment, "It seems that Gregg Popovich wanted to catch up with the score and pull it away when he was on the bench. He didn't even give Tony Parker a chance. Time for Parker to rest."

Tony Parker dribbled the ball on the left, facing Steve Blake's defense, carefully protecting the ball, and at the same time making tactical gestures to his teammates, indicating how his teammates should move.Tony Parker suddenly started and broke through to Steve Blake's right, causing the opponent to move laterally to the right, but an emergency stop changed direction and broke through from Steve Blake's left in an instant.

Seeing this, Matt Barnes let go of his defensive target, Manu Ginobili, and came up to defend, but Tony Parker broke through and hit the ground to pass to the open Manu Ginobili.Li Yifeng wanted to step forward to defend, but was blocked by the Spurs power forward Boris Diaw. He could only watch helplessly as Manu Ginobili dribbled a step forward after receiving the ball and succeeded in a jumper.

Steve Blake dribbled the ball to half court and handed the ball to Lin Fengzhe and started to run himself.The Spurs played a dislocation defense, with Tony Parker defending Lin Fengzhe.In fact, Tony Parker was also a little impatient. The Chinese in front of him hadn't even participated in the draft, but he scored six points, four assists and two steals in a short period of time in the first quarter, but he didn't make any mistakes. Sometimes, if you change it, you will be anxious in your heart, and you won't be able to perform better than a newcomer after being around for so long.

Lin Fengzhe broke through from the right side of Tony Parker to the middle. Tony Parker followed Lin Fengzhe closely, but Lin Fengzhe's speed was not slower than him, and his pace was also bigger than him.Soon Lin Fengzhe broke through Tony Parker.

Just when Lin Fengzhe was about to make a layup, Manu Ginobili left Matt Barnes and stood on Lin Fengzhe's breakthrough route at some point.Seeing this, Lin Fengzhe stepped with his right foot as the axis and left leg, broke through Manu Ginobili's left side, and came to the outside of the three-second zone for a layup.

"Beep!" The referee blew a sharp whistle, indicating that the Lakers No. 23 dribbled the ball and charged someone, an offensive foul.Lin Fengzhe turned his head and saw that Manu Ginobili was being pulled up by his teammates, "I didn't touch him just now!"

Lin Fengzhe approached the referee and communicated with the referee that he did not hit the opponent's defensive player, but the referee said that Lin Fengzhe broke through too fast, turned around too fast and did not stop in time, and still hit the defensive player.And judging from the big screen above his head, Manu Ginobili did indeed collapse the moment Lin Fengzhe came into contact with him.

Mike Brown stood on the sidelines and told the referee that Manu Ginobili was diving and Lin Fengzhe did not foul at all, but the referee ignored it and signaled Mike Brown to return to his position.After all, this is the Spurs' home court, and it is justifiable to find this kind of biased whistle, as if it would not be a defensive foul that did not punish World Peace just now.Although the referee seldom changes the judgment directly under the influence of the outside world in order to maintain authority, it is often seen that the previous judgment is retrieved in subsequent games.

Gary Neal, Spurs throws the throw in the backcourt.Manu Ginobili took the ball to the frontcourt and handed it to Tony Parker to organize the team's offense.

Tony Parker broke through Steve Blake's defense with two emergency stops, then made a pick-and-roll with Boris Diaw and went straight to the Lakers basket, facing Andrew Bynum's defense in the air The basketball passed to Boris Diaw behind him for another two points with a shot at the basket from inside the free throw line.

The second quarter had just begun, and the Spurs recovered four points. The score of the two teams came to 24 to 26. The Spurs were only two points behind the Lakers.

Lin Fengzhe took the ball to the frontcourt by himself, made a pick-and-roll cooperation with Li Yifeng and then passed the basketball back to Li Yifeng. However, after the basketball was intercepted by Tony Parker, he made a fast break layup and scored two points, tying the score.

Coach Mike Brown saw that the team lost two six points, and instead of calling a timeout, he stood on the sidelines and yelled to make the players pay more attention, reduce mistakes, increase the speed of defense and return to defense, and not give the opponent a chance to counterattack fast.

In the next attack, Lin Fengzhe did not distribute the ball to his teammates after breaking through, but directly broke through from the left side to the bottom line. Facing Manu Ginobili, who was defending, he made a fake move to shake the opponent. Provoking a shot, Ginobili, who was in the air, had to foul Lin Fengzhe.

From Manu Ginobili's point of view, the referee gave Lin Fengzhe a dribble charge just now when he flopped, and the penalty was obviously biased towards his own side. The foul referee should not be able to blow the whistle.

But the reality is not the same as Manu Ginobili's envisioned script. The referee at the bottom line blew his whistle to signal a defensive foul.

Manu Ginobili immediately went up and told the referee that he had not fouled, and that there was no need to be so serious for a rookie.But he didn't notice that there were two cameras facing him and Lin Fengzhe among the reporters on the sidelines just now.

The baseline referee looked at Manu Ginobili, "What the hell are you trying to say?"

"I want to say that the foul just now can be ignored, isn't it?" He said and wanted to touch the referee's shoulder.

The baseline referee avoided Manu Ginobili's hand, "That foul is obvious, and there is nothing to say." The voice was very loud.

Manu Ginobili looked at the opponent's serious expression and didn't say anything. He had to watch Lin Fengzhe walk to the free throw line and make two free throws steadily, allowing the Lakers to lead the Spurs by two points again.From playing in the first quarter until now, Lin Fengzhe's statistics are eight points, four assists, two steals, one turnover and one foul.

This time the Lakers Lin Fengzhe and Steve Blake switched defenses.Tony Parker dribbled the ball and looked at Lin Fengzhe who was defending him, "Chinese boy, you performed very well just now."

Lin Fengzhe didn't expect Tony Parker to say this. He didn't speak, but he was serious about defending the opponent. Now Lin Fengzhe is not defending Tony Parker like he did in the first quarter, but just defending Tony Parker's breakthrough.

"But your performance is not good enough." After speaking, Tony Parker began to break through.Lin Fengzhe immediately moved to follow Tony Parker's footsteps.Tony Parker stopped abruptly and made a shot with the ball in both hands, and Lin Fengzhe immediately took off to block the shot.

Tony Parker took back the basketball, jumped up and shot facing Lin Fengzhe's body in the air, and shot the basketball in the book when he touched Lin Fengzhe's body again.At the same time, the referee's whistle blew, indicating that the Lakers made a defensive foul on No. 23, scoring two points and adding a free throw.

"I didn't foul!" Lin Fengzhe said to the referee.

However, the referee gestured to show that the action just now was indeed a foul.Lin Fengzhe smiled helplessly, "I can't help it. I'm inexperienced and I was artificially fouled. It seems that I can't underestimate these old fritters who have been in the league for many years. These guys may not be as technical and physical as me, but their experience But it is not comparable to myself. I still have to learn more in these aspects."
