NBA: I coach Kobe

“Howard’s performance in this playoff is very perfect, consider letting the team focus on Howard!”

“Howard is a free man this summer, and we didn’t sign him in this state!”

The game focused not only on NBA fans, but also on scouts from eliminated teams.

Howard’s contract has the last month left, and he will officially become a free agent in the summer, so the attention paid to Howard by all teams is unusually high, and everyone wants to pull a superstar like Howard under their wing.

But now there is a trend of small balls throughout the league, and traditional interior linemen like Howard are definitely top salary contracts, but top salary contracts are also graded, and almost all ambitious clubs are considering what kind of maximum salary contract to give Howard appropriately.

Of course, Howard himself understands that this summer should be his last big contract, whether it is to stay with the Lakers or renew to other teams, he must get a super large contract, after all, he has a lot of illegitimate children to pay alimony.

Due to Nash’s desperate defense, the Spurs’ offense advanced very slowly this time.

“Tony!! Hurry up and conduct the ball! Above the Spurs’ bench, Popovich shouted.

With 24 seconds of offensive time, Tony Parker directly took 8 seconds to press the timeline to the front court, which made the Spurs’ offense very passive.

At this moment, Tony Parker didn’t want to run any tactics, and directly decided to go it alone, and after changing direction and accelerating, he opened a distance with Nash.

Seeing the opportunity, Tony Parker directly threw a small throw.

“Box!” With a bang, the ball bounced out.

Gasol, who was well rested, used his excellent experience to observe the basketball landing point and then prepare to move.

But this suddenly Duncan exerted all his strength and stuck Gasol behind him before Gasol moved.

In the direct confrontation between the two old guys, it was Duncan who had the advantage.

With this goal, Duncan occupied a better position.

Duncan jumped first, and for safety, Split next to him also jumped, after all, there was Gasol behind Duncan.

“Have you forgotten about me?”

Howard sneered, if he had an offensive rebound, he would definitely not waste much effort to fight at this time, but this is a defensive rebound, and if Duncan and Split grab it, he may have scored directly.

I saw that Howard also jumped high, and then stretched out directly between the two people with his excellent arm span.

“Snap!”

Two hands grabbed the basketball before Duncan and Split touched it.

“Rob him! Don’t let him launch a quick attack! ”

Duncan’s first reaction was to grab Howard’s basketball.

Not grabbing it is likely to lead to a counterattack from the Lakers!

Howard expected this early on, and the moment he landed, he threw the ball directly to the front.

Even if your passing ability is not good, you only have your teammates in the front court!

Just throw it in the approximate direction!

In the end, Kobe Bryant scored the goal easily.

4:0！

The opening Lakers are gaining momentum!

Leonard played very aggressively, facing Ci Shiping, using his strong body to open the way, and then resisting Ci Shiping’s one-handed throw to give the ball in, helping the Spurs get the first point of the game.

Returning to the Lakers’ offense, Nash broke through with the ball, but under Duncan’s interference, he did not score the ball.

However, it still allowed Gasol to easily grab the offensive rebound under the basket, and a violent dunk ended the attack.

It’s very relaxed.

This one snap also made all the Staples Arena spectators cheer.

“The performance of the twin towers today is really outstanding!”

Next on the offensive end, Stephen Jackson controlled the ball while Parker went to play off-ball.

Split’s slow drop block helped Parker block Nash who wanted to defend.

The ball in Danny Green’s hand also instantly reached Parker’s hand, although three points are not Parker’s strength, but it does not mean that Parker does not have three-point ability!

At this time, Parker was facing the basket, and the basketball in his hand was raised and projected directly.

“Hugh!”

Bryant got rid of Split’s block and immediately pounced in the direction of Parker.

“How is it so fast!”

Parker didn’t expect Kobe to be so fast, and he could only throw the ball before his posture was fully stretched.

The ball hit the front of the basket directly and flew out.

Seeing that this rebound was about to fly into Duncan’s hands near the free throw line, Gasol on the inside quickly pounced.

“The last game didn’t let him rest in vain!”

Seeing Gasol so positive, Lin Li was secretly happy in his heart.

“Hugh wants to get the rebound!!”

The basketball didn’t fly too far in the air and was intercepted by Gasol’s big hand halfway through.

“Today’s Gasol’s spiritual head is completely different!”

Duncan had just reacted, but the rebound was already in Gasol’s hands.

…………

“Toot!”

When the game time reached 6 minutes, the referee blew the whistle and signaled the Spurs to request a timeout.

16:8！

The Spurs were drunk by the Lakers.

“Let’s look at the data of the first 6 minutes of the game,” Charles Barkley looked at the technical statistics in his hand, as if he saw something interesting, “I’ll just say a statistic for everyone, Gasol grabbed 5 rebounds in 6 minutes!” Howard also grabbed 3, and the Lakers’ two interior linemen grabbed 9! ”

“And Duncan and Split didn’t grab a single rebound!”

“In the first 6 minutes of the showdown, Duncan didn’t grab a rebound! Look at his interior line ride Split, also a rebound did not grab! The Spurs didn’t get a single rebound inside! ”

Charles Barkley himself felt more and more absurd the more he spoke.

And Kenny Smith next to him also couldn’t believe it, to say that the front court rebound is 0, that’s normal, but the backcourt rebound is also none, it’s a bit exaggerated.

In his memory, the Lakers missed at least 5 or 6 shots in these 6 minutes, but Duncan and Split did not protect the next one.
