NBA: The Talent Burst from the Start

As soon as Phil Jackson's tactical arrangement came out, the players on the scene were a little surprised.

Although the team will also carry out normal player rotation during the game, it is obviously not a wise choice to carry out a large-scale player rotation when it has a slight advantage.

Even Xiang Nong Bulang muttered softly there.

Phil Jackson did not explain much to the players' doubts. As the team's head coach, he still maintains absolute authority in the team.

Even if some players don't understand it, they dare not question Phil Jackson's tactics face to face.

However, after listening to it, Lin Lei was very clear about Phil Jackson's tactics.

First of all, Bryant played only five minutes in the first half, and Phil Jackson did not agree to take the initiative.

In this case, Phil Jackson naturally has to take care of his emotions.

Even if the team "193" wins the game, if Kobe doesn't appear and doesn't feel a sense of participation, he won't be happy.

There is another point: Phil Jackson made adjustments on the lineup to see how the players cooperated best.

This kind of cooperation between players is not something that can be experienced in the usual training games.

Only in the face of a strong team like the Spurs, can the team's problems and real standards be reflected.

In other words, Phil Jackson used the Spurs as a touchstone for his roster tuning!

This kind of thing that dares to adjust the lineup when playing a strong team, only a champion coach like Phil Jackson dares to do it!

Thinking of this, Lin Lei looked up at Phil Jackson and found that Jackson was also looking towards this side. When he saw Lin Lei and Dayao, the old coach's eyes were full of admiration.

In the second quarter, Phil Jackson brought Lin Lei and Dayao to the stage, and he was also holding on to try out what kind of wonderful performance the two top Chinese players can play in the NBA.

Facts have proved that his evolution method is completely correct.

Phil Jackson is also very confident that in the third quarter, Kobe Bryant led the former championship lineup and will definitely take the lead!

After the coaches of both sides started to compete in their hearts, the third quarter of the game finally started...

However, when Phil Jackson led the Lakers back to the court, he was surprised to find that Spurs coach Popovich was gone!

Just thinking about it, the head coach disappeared in the middle of the crucial match against the mortal enemy.

Looking at the entire NBA, this situation is probably the first time in the past 60 years!

Not only did the Lakers find that Popovich was gone, but the audience at the scene naturally noticed it for the first time.

So for a while, doubts sounded throughout the arena, and some people even shouted Popovich's name, hoping that he would appear soon.

For the Spurs team, Tim Duncan is the core of the court, then Popovich is the soul of the entire Spurs!

If there is no head coach, facing a champion team like the Lakers, the Spurs fans seem to have lost their backbone and lost confidence in this game.

However, the fans called for a long time. Seeing that the game started, Popovich still did not appear, and the heart of a moment of anticipation completely fell to the bottom.

Many home fans even thought that the Spurs would be massacred by the Lakers in the second half.

In order not to see the scene of losing, many fans simply gave up watching the second half and got up and left the arena directly.

For the fans to leave the field, for Duncan and others, it is an incentive.

At the beginning of the second half, the Spurs took the lead in serving the ball. The Spurs still maintained the strongest lineup in the first half. In the face of Kobe's defense, Tony Parker made a very bold change of direction.

After swaying a little space, he went directly to the basket, attracted the attention of the Lakers inside, and passed the ball into Duncan's hands at the first time.

Duncan also completed a violent dunk against Gasol!

When Duncan got off the rim, he couldn't help but let out a roar. This kind of picture was even worse than that of him in the first half.

64:68

The Spurs are only four points behind.

Watching the Spurs come up and play such an excellent performance without Popovich in charge.

And he was actually shaken by Tony Parker, causing the situation to be out of position. This kind of mistake is also intolerable for Kobe.

So in the next round, after receiving a pass from Beverley, Kobe walked directly to the mid-range position.

Just as he was about to complete the score, Leonard was already facing him, sealing Kobe Bryant's shooting path.

And Manu Ginobili also came for the first time to help defend, which is also the consistent routine of the Spurs facing the Lakers.

Whenever Kobe gets the ball to his best area, there will always be two defenders who come up to block the first time, forcing Kobe to pass the ball, or extremely uncomfortable to complete the score.

If it was changed before, after Bryant attracted the attention of the opponent, he would often point out the ball, which is also the essence of triangle tactics.

Even Artest has come to the 45-degree three-point line to wait for the ball.

As long as Kobe gets the ball out, he can score without letting go, as he did in Game 7 of the Finals last season.

And even if Artest does not choose a three-point shot, it can also help Kobe Bryant share the offensive pressure, and there will definitely be a perimeter player out to defend.

Artest is passing the ball back at this time, which can also make Kobe's offense easier.

But the above are all based on Kobe's absolute calmness. Heroes are often lonely and prefer to gamble!

This time, Kobe didn't do that.

In the next second, he took a tentative step forward with his right foot, opened a little distance, turned over with a step backward, faced Leonard, and threw the ball out.

Leonard's physical fitness is of course needless to say, his hands are very strong, and his arms are even more like gibbons.

In the case of Leonard's hard defense, he still touched Kobe with his fingertips.

The basketball that had just been thrown made a very small arc in the air, and then fell directly into Duncan's hands.

The moment Duncan received the ball, the Spurs team had a tacit understanding, and it also reached its peak at this moment.

Tony Parker started at full speed for the first time and ran towards the Lakers half court.

And when he ran to the 5.9 position of the Lakers' three-point line, the Lakers didn't even have anyone to defend the basket.

Tim Duncan didn't move, and threw the ball in his hand like a football, just right near the free throw line and perfectly coincident with Tony Parker.

Tony Parker jumped high after receiving the ball from Tim Duncan and got the ball into the basket with great ease.

It all happened so fast, from Tim Duncan getting the ball to Tony Parker, who made the layup, and the back-and-forth might not add up to three seconds.

All the players of the Lakers realized that the opponent was ready to come back from the fast break, and the attack was over before they had run past the half court when they returned to the room.

The score on the field came to 66:68, and the game had just gone on for less than half a minute.

The Spurs are only two points behind!
