NBA: I coach Kobe

After the timeout returned, the Lakers made no changes in personnel.

In this timeout, Lin Li only emphasized the defense, and he did not mention it on the offensive end, he believed that with Kobe Bryant and Howard on the court, there was no problem on the offensive end.

Sure enough, the Lakers attacked for the first time, Howard faced Split’s defense, directly crushed it like a tank, and in Split, sent the ball to the basket.

Then the focus was on how to defend, and Leonard was obviously a little excited to play before, just after half-time, he asked for the ball at the top of the arc.

Now he’s in great form, he doesn’t care who he defends, it doesn’t matter, as long as I can score the ball.

This time, Ci Shiping’s defense against the position has been done well, but it still allows Leonard to throw this mid-range shot.

This difficult mid-range shot was made, and the Lakers fans who had stood up to celebrate Ci Shiping’s defense of the ball had nowhere to vent.

However, Lakers fans did not sit down, because in the Lakers’ offense, Nash passed the ball to Kobe.

Kobe Bryant did not live up to the fans’ hopes and directly broke through Danny Green and hit the ball.

But when he returned to defense, many careful people found that Kobe seemed to be panting.

“We clearly saw Kobe gasping for breath, and it seems that the Spurs’ tactics have succeeded.” Kenny Smith said to Charles Barkley as if he had discovered the New World.

“It seems that Popovich’s coach has a successful tactic, and Kobe has felt fatigue.” Charles Barkley said.

“Let’s take another look, it seems that Howard also feels some fatigue!” Kenny Smith continued.

“Kobe, Dwight, how are you two feeling?” Lin Li asked Kobe and Howard on the sidelines, and he also saw Kobe and Howard’s gasp, these two are the pillars of the team.

“It’s okay, I can hold on!” Bryant replied.

Howard replied the same.

However, Lin Li could see that the two of them were also a little tired, and without the slightest hesitation, he went directly to the mall to buy two physical strength potions, filling up the physical strength of these two people.

It was the Spurs’ turn to attack again, and the ball was handed to Leonard, who was confident that he wanted to single out Ci Shiping, but this time his jump shot was unsuccessful.

In the first quarter, the two teams played very anxiously, and finally the score in the first quarter was fixed at 28-25, and the Lakers unexpectedly trailed by 3 points.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Yi Jianlian led the bench to fight against the Spurs, and the Spurs side was played by Ginobili, and these two lineups became a show between Yi Jianlian and Ginobili.

Both men have unlimited firing rights in both lineups, but because Ginobili’s shooting today is too poor, the scoring efficiency is too low.

Although Yi Jianlian on the Lakers’ side is also average, it is also much better than Ginobili’s shooting percentage, and the Lakers’ bench helped the main team to chase the score back.

In this way, it was not until the second quarter was played with 7 minutes left that the managers of both teams changed the starters.

Bryant confronted Danny Green on the inside.

“Hey, boy, aren’t you tired of defending like this?” Bryant asked.

“Tired, but it’s always more comfortable than you!” Danny Green replied.

“Tired, just fine!” Kobe Bryant laughed when he heard Danny Green’s answer, a defense like Danny Green has been giving Kobe a physical confrontation, Kobe obviously consumes a lot of physical strength, but if you want to cling to a physical person like Kobe, you must also be tired.

“Are you sure you’re more comfortable than me, though?” After that, Kobe got the ball, and then directly broke through Danny Green’s defense again and scored.

Back to the defensive side, Leonard is not as accurate as in the first quarter, so he did not directly ask for the ball, but pulled out, he pulled like this, Ci Shiping must also go out, even if Leonard is not so accurate, but it is also based on his own defense, if he is given an empty position, the possibility of throwing in is still very large.

On the offensive end of the Spurs, the inside line became a fight between Duncan and Howard, Tony Parker hung the ball directly to Duncan, and Howard held Duncan behind.

Duncan also wanted to consume Howard, and after two blows, he still couldn’t move Howard, and finally hooked directly, and the ball was directly harassed by Howard and did not go in.

Kobe received the ball in the front court, faced Danny Green’s defense, not only scored the ball, but also added a penalty!

The Lakers directly reversed the score.

The Spurs’ next offense bounced out again, but because their retreat was timely, the Lakers didn’t get a chance to break fast and could only push slowly.

Howard asked for the ball directly on the inside, and he continued to single Split.

After continuous physical confrontation, Split also clearly felt that his steps were a little heavy.

Unexpectedly, Split was originally used to consume Howard on the defensive end, but he was tired one step ahead of Howard, so that he would put much less pressure on Howard on the defensive end, and his tactics would be useless.

Popovich saw this situation and wanted to replace another player, Split, to consume Howard.

But after thinking about it, Popovich found that it was useless to replace him, and his own substitute might not be able to complete the consumption of Howard’s physical strength at all.

The entire Staples arena is filled with the joyful atmosphere of Lakers fans.

In this case, Popovich felt that it was better to call a pause.

“Howard’s performance just now is telling us that consuming me, it is impossible! If it was Split at his peak, he might be able to consume the whole game, but now he obviously can’t! Charles Barkley said.

“That’s right, Howard’s method is really used too right, you have no ball on the defensive end, you consume me, then I will hit you, let’s consume together, anyway, it is consumption, I hit you, your consumption may be greater, and it seems that Split is indeed a little tired by Howard’s appearance.” Kenny Smith also said with admiration.
