NBA: I coach Kobe

The referee signaled a timeout and returned his hands to the bench of their respective teams.

On the Lakers’ side, Jordan Hill and Yi Jianlian on the bench both stood up and gave Gasol a high five, and then praised: “Your three-point shot is too accurate!” ”

“How’s my strategy?” Lin Li asked with a smile on his face.

“It’s a great feeling to score!” Gasol said loudly, he hadn’t scored so comfortably in a long time.

“That’s good!”

Then Lin Li began to lay out tactics.

And the Spurs side.

“Give me all attention to defense and defense!” Popovich held the tactical board and shouted to his players, “Tim, you have to prevent Gasol!” Don’t let him shoot three points! ”

“What about him pulling outside the three-point line?” Duncan asked, the inside line Split obviously can’t resist Howard, if Duncan is not on the inside, then the Lakers will definitely switch the defensive direction and directly let Howard play Split to ensure a dozen accurate.

“Well,” Popovich said after a moment’s thought, “then Split you come down first, Dior you go up and help Tim!” You go and defend Gasol, Tim, Howard and it’s up to you! ”

Dio was originally the main player of the Spurs last year, but after this year, his form has declined, resulting in the starting position being replaced by Split, but Dior’s strength is still there, and his position is power forward, and he still has an advantage in speed.

End of suspension.

There have been no changes in the lineup of either side, except for Dio replacing Split.

Not to mention that these two teams have rested the world for a long time, and to the extent of the Western Conference Finals, there is no need to skimp on physical strength.

The Spurs’ offense, Ginobili against Kobe.

It’s clear that the Spurs still want to play him, after all, Ginobili was feeling good today.

Ginobili blocked through Duncan’s cover and went inside, but suffered from Howard and Kobe Bryant’s front and back shots and failed to make a layup.

The Lakers strike back!

Pau Gasol, who took off the rebound, handed the ball to Bryant.

The Spurs’ starters, except for Leonard, are basically about 30 years old, and their speed is inevitably declining!

Isn’t this a fast attack for Kobe?

This kind of ball, of course, Kobe intends to come by himself.

This time the Spurs’ return defense was still fast, and Parker and Leonard wanted to pinch Kobe.

But after Bryant rushed inside, Leonard hesitated.

Because he saw that Gasol was already standing outside the three-point line and in position, and seemed to be ready to shoot a three-pointer.

Whether to block Kobe Bryant with Parker or defend Gasol.

While he was still hesitating, Kobe Bryant had already jumped against Parker and easily scored two points on Parker’s head.

Leonard was annoyed.

Leonard sent the ball to Tony Parker, who dribbled the ball past the front court and passed the ball to Duncan in the interior position, which was Paul Gasol defended due to the change of position of the inside.

Duncan didn’t play easily either, and finally hit the ball with a hook.

But as soon as the ball scored, Howard picked it up, gave it to the referee, and then served quickly.

Once again, the Lakers started a fast attack.

Bryant made a fake pass and gave the ball to Gasol at the three-point line.

As soon as Gasol made a shooting gesture, Leonard pounced in time.

But who knows, Gasol just clicked this time, directly gave Leonard a fly, and then there was only Parker left under the basket, as an inside, Gasol’s dribbling is not too good, but how can Parker, who is shivering under the basket, block him.

Without hesitation, a violent buckle!

Popovich on the sidelines is completely helpless, it seems that this defense really can’t prevent the Lakers with the Big Four, so play their own things, that is, speed.

Don’t look at everyone saying that the GDP is old, but the Spurs are indeed one of the fastest offensive teams in the entire league.

In recent years, the Spurs have rejected their old tactical system that has been successful for many years, and in line with the trend of the times and the changing rules, they know that speed is the most important thing.

Until then, the Spurs were among the slowest and best defensive teams in the league, and they had won championships.

Since then, the Spurs have become one of the fastest and best offensive teams in the league.

The Spurs attacked again, this time to Leonard to solve, but although Leonard is now an All-Star and has scoring ability, he is not so good compared to him a few years later.

As a result, he was defended by Cishi and could not even make the final shot, so he violated the rule in 24 seconds and could only hand over the ball.

Back to the Lakers’ offense again.

Nash tried to storm the inside, but failed, and had to pull it back in.

At this time, he saw that Gasol had pulled outside the three-point line and immediately passed the ball.

Gasol holds the ball and is in position with Dior on the outside.

“Boy, you can try your three points again!” Duncan said excitedly.

Gasol is not stupid, his previous three-point shot was an open shot, and now he shoots defensively, and even the best three-point shooter in the league rarely does.

At this time, Gasol saw Lin Li on the sidelines and made a gesture to him, signaling Gasol to play Dior singles on his back.

Gasol was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Dio’s height.

Dior’s height is 10cm shorter than Pau Gasol.

Gasol immediately passed the ball, then squeezed it into the inside line and got the ball from Nash’s hand.

Dior vs Pau Gasol!

1V1 inside, Dior can’t reach the ball at all!

Even though his strength is comparable to that of Pau Gasol, the height difference is too much.

After Paul Gasol received the ball on the inside, it was Lin Li’s back single, and Duncan couldn’t come over to help defend at all, and he had to pay attention to his defense, Howard, who was also a super killer, and then easily hit the ball with a hook.

The Lakers continue to steadily expand their advantage, and the Spurs, who are very strong in both the regular season and the playoffs, have encountered their biggest crisis this season.

This is his own home turf, and if he loses this game, it means that his home field advantage is lost, which is absolutely unacceptable in Popovich’s opinion.
