In the first half of the game, the two sides were still testing and adjusting each other. Although the scale of the confrontation was not small, they probably hadn't shown their real skills yet.With Duncan's performance, the Spurs maintained their lead and entered the intermission with a score of 49-44.
Fans will give the team more support in the playoffs, so the halftime shooting link will still exist, and the $[-] bonus will still be a good gimmick to attract fans to actively participate in it.
Spurs locker room.Popovich praised the players' execution on both ends of the offense and defense, and adjusted the defensive layout accordingly, allowing Danny Green and Kawhi Leonard to double-team Xu Tian and continue to improve the defensive intensity.In his point of view, Xu Tian is a superstar who becomes stronger at critical moments, and he must be completely restrained in the second half.
Tony Parker will still start in the third quarter, but his task has changed from assisting Kawhi Leonard on Xu Tian to marking one of the other two open Lakers perimeter players.Such a defensive task is a big challenge for him.
Scott knew very well that the Spurs would not change their defensive strategy of double-teaming Xu Tian in the second half, and made adjustments at the second position, allowing Nick Young to replace Warren, sacrificing part of the perimeter defense and increasing the offensive threat.After all, the Spurs mainly focus on the inside, and the outside defense is too strong and there is no good effect.
Kobe, George and Xu Tian sat together, and after Scott notified the adjustment of the opening personnel for the second half, they began to discuss what they saw in the first half.
George played the most minutes on the Lakers team, and his physical exertion was also the greatest. Even sitting on a chair, he could still feel a slight soreness in his legs. It's a bit overwhelming."
Kobe said: "They are deliberately targeting you. No matter the offensive end or the defensive end, you run a little too much distance. Even an iron man may not be able to handle it."
George asked: "When you were in charge of defending Ray Allen, how did you withstand so much physical exertion?"
"I can't bear it either, I just gritted my teeth and stood firm." Kobe's answer was very simple, but it also inspired George.
Xu Tian said: "The offensive end can increase the transmission of the ball and reduce the running distance without the ball, which can save more energy. However, this approach seems very safe. Against a team like the Spurs that is not easy to make mistakes, the success rate cannot be guaranteed. "
George asked Xu Tiandao: "Who do you think the Spurs will use to defend you in the second half?"
Xu Tian has a keen judgment and a strong tactical reserve. After thinking for a while, he said: "According to my guess, it is very likely that Kawhi Leonard and Danny Green double-teamed me."
"Why these two people?" Kobe was also a little curious.
"In the first half, I broke the double-teaming of Kawhi Leonard and Tony Parker. This is the reason why Tony Parker was replaced. They will not adjust the lineup in the second half, so there is a high probability that Danny Green teamed up with Kawhi Leonard and double-teamed me."
Kobe said: "That being said, Byron's adjustments are very good. George and Nick Young always face a weaker defense, and they can basically play comfortably on the offensive end. This is a rare opportunity. We must Hold on."
Alice was not used to the hustle and bustle in the venue, so she chose to leave early and asked Boss Jin to drive her back to Walnut City.
The intermission was spent in the players' tactical discussions and free activities. Gary Vitti didn't deal with any minor injuries, but he seemed very relaxed.
Walking down the tunnel, Popovich privately asked Aldridge and Patty Mills if they'd be willing to step up a little on defense and try to sprain an offensive player's ankle.This used to be the work of Bruce Bowen, and now no one can take on this task.
Aldridge was the boss of the Trail Blazers before anyway, and he was a bit embarrassing, and he didn't agree to Popovich's arrangement.
Patty Mills is an ordinary rotation player. He was convinced by Popovich's words and agreed without thinking.In the long history of the NBA, there are many similar things, but sometimes they are not known to outsiders.
Warriors forward Iguodala was instructed by George Karl to abolish Curry during the Nuggets period. Unfortunately, he was unwilling to do it. In the end, the Nuggets were eliminated and Iguodala became a member of the Warriors.
Xu Tian would not criticize this kind of behavior, but he would basically pay attention to it when playing games.Since the regular season, there have been many players who wanted to abolish him, but none of them succeeded, which is inseparable from his vigilance.
Kobe also thought of this, and reminded Xu Tian again to keep vigilance on both ends of the offense and defense, and not to be stepped on by opponents or bumped into knees.These are all commonly used methods of useless people, and they have appeared more than once.
Xu Tian was able to survive in this alliance, knowing the rules very well, and knowing that people of the yellow race would be discriminated against to some extent, so he always responded with wind and thunder to let his opponent know that he was not easy to mess with.Because of this, he was obviously much less targeted than Jeremy Lin.
The fans at the Staples Center immediately cheered as soon as the players on both sides ran back to the court.They are looking forward to the second half of the game and welcome the players.
Xu Tian was worried about Alice's situation. He first looked at her seat and found that there was no one there. He went over to ask Li Lang and felt relieved when he learned of Alice's whereabouts.Quickly take off the warm-up suit and get ready to step on the court.
Boss Kim and Alice were in a traffic jam, listening to the ongoing Western Conference semifinals on the car radio.
Alice became interested in basketball games after Xu Tian came to the United States, quietly listening to the commentators' comments, and imagining that kind of picture in her mind.Soon, the commentator broadcast a bad news-when Xu Tian shot and fell, his right foot stepped on Patty Mills' foot and his ankle was sprained.
When Boss Jin heard the news, he couldn't help but gasped.He is a die-hard Lakers fan. Knowing that Kobe will be injured for a long time is enough to worry about. Now that he has learned that Xu Tian has a sprained ankle, he naturally begins to worry about the Lakers' next journey.
Alice looked at the traffic stuck behind through the rearview mirror, knowing that it was impossible to go back to the Staples Center, her face turned pale, and she waited for the narrator on the radio to announce the follow-up news.
"Xu walked to the sidelines, and Gary Vitti pinched his ankle for him. From his expression, we can see that the pain should not be very severe. He tried to stomp his feet, maybe it didn't feel serious, and re-fastened his shoes Bring, and apply to return to the field."
"This action reminds me of LeBron James. He dealt with the sprain, basically the same way Xu handled it. I really don't know if they have a chip in their bodies."
Alice didn't know whether Xu Tian was trying to be brave, so she quickly took out her mobile phone and began to check the latest sports news.He wanted to see news that Xu Tian's ankle was fine.
