Chapter 478 Chaos
Kawhi Leonard once again used zongzi to defend, completely blocking Xu Tian's receiving space and not giving him any chance to perform.This is the defense they must do. Even if they lead by more than ten points, they cannot relax.
Xu Tian tried too hard to grab the position, pushed Kawhi Leonard away and received a pushing foul.
Ball transfer!
Popovich can no longer stand on the sidelines the entire game, sit back on the bench and watch how the players will attack.He lays out the offensive tactics, but there is still a little free space in it, so that the players can play their technical characteristics more or less.
Xu Tian stood at the top of the arc and lowered his center of gravity to defend Tony Parker. When he saw Duncan mentioning the top of the arc again, he made a decisive attack and bypassed the cover to chase.He just made a mistake on the offensive end and is eager to get back on the defensive end.
Tony Parker was just intercepted by Xu Tian. He was more cautious when dribbling the ball. Seeing that he couldn't find a chance to make a shot, he immediately sent the ball to Kawhi Leonard on the right.
George lowers his center of gravity to defend Kawhi Leonard off the dribble.
Josh Smith took a risk by giving up guarding Aldridge and double-teaming Kawhi Leonard with George, betting he wouldn't pass.Such a defense obviously won't yield much good returns.
Kawhi Leonard hits the ball to Aldridge at the basket for a high-low combination.
Tyson Chandler put his defensive attention on Duncan. He had lost the opportunity to defend again, so he could only rush to interfere and try to defend.
Aldridge's offensive skills are very rich. He was not frightened by Tyson Chandler.
52-73!
The difference between the two sides is 21 points!
Staples Center seemed much quieter than it had been at the start.
Barkley said: "As soon as Xu found some form, Gregg Popovich found a way to deal with it and pressed him down again. This kind of targeted defense is difficult for Xu, who is inexperienced, to overcome. TNT's program said that Xu will pay a heavy price for his inexperience."
Kenny Smith said: "Xu is a top point guard in the league, and his ability to sort out offense is outstanding, but because of his strong shooting ability, opponents have to increase their defensive attention to him. As a result, the Lakers' overall offense will be lost. The initiator directly entered a state of paralysis."
"Xu is the leader in assists, and there are many passes that create second pass opportunities. There is no doubt about his ability to organize offenses, but he is trapped by the Spurs' defense and basically does not play out wantonly. This is why I think the Spurs will advance. They are too experienced, and their offensive and defensive systems are too perfect, they cannot be cracked by Xu alone."
Kenny Smith also had to agree, saying: "After all, they have played in the playoffs for nearly 20 years, and they are too familiar with this field."
George dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, his inner desire for performance continued to rise, he dribbled sideways, directly used his height advantage to pull up, completely ignoring Tony Parker's defensive long-range three-pointer!
The rim was covered tonight, denying George's shot!
Duncan stuck two inside players of the Lakers, creating favorable conditions for Aldridge to grab rebounds.
Aldridge, with his great height as a center, picked up the defensive rebound easily and handed it off to Tony Parker, who dribbled the ball across the court.
The Spurs' offense is very rigorous, basically there will be no obvious variables, and the establishment of advantages step by step has no explosive points.This is the strength of a disciplined team, and it can also turn into a weakness.
Xu Tian led the defense, tried his best to limit Tony Parker's starting speed, and at the same time looked for opportunities to complete the steal.
All the players in the league knew that Xu Tian had a good grasp of the timing of the steal, so they basically didn't dare to show the ball in front of him.Tony Parker blocked Xu Tian with his body, dribbled the ball with his left hand, and advanced diagonally to the frontcourt.
Xu Tian did not weaken the defensive strength, and continued to put pressure on Tony Parker to prevent him from completing the breakthrough.Any offense needs an organizer, and the Spurs' current organizer is Tony Parker with the ball.
Boris Diaw came out from the top of the left arc to meet Tony Parker and took over the task of organizing the attack.Although he has transformed into a power forward, the foundation he left behind when he played point guard is still there. He dribbles at the top of the arc to direct the movement and look for open opportunities for his teammates.
Kawhi Leonard's ability to run without the ball is not outstanding. He used confrontation to grab the position in the low post and stretched out his right hand to catch the ball.He feels good offensively and thinks that the offense should be ended with individual singles.
Xu Tian was dragged to the other side of the court by Tony Parker, so he could only stand and watch from a distance, unable to help defend.
Warren was close enough to Kawhi Leonard to run over and team up with George to double-team his post-ups.
Kawhi Leonard didn't move, turned over and leaned back, relying on bouncing to separate himself from Warren and George, stabilized the basketball with his big hands, and made a signature mid-range shot.
Superstars, unsolvable goals!
52-75!
Unable to sit still, Scott got up from the dugout and called a timeout.
Thackeray has only gotten a little playing time in the garbage time of the last two games of the first round since the start of the playoffs, but his mentality remains positive, taking the towel from the ball boy and handing it to the walking off the court. teammate.
Xu Tian held the towel with both hands, wiped off the sweat on his face, looked back at the scoreboard, took off the braces, drank a few mouthfuls of water from Thackeray, and did not speak.
The atmosphere at the Staples Center is very dull, and even the music played by the live DJ seems a bit lifeless.They originally thought that the Lakers would easily pass the Spurs, but they didn't expect that they would fall behind by a big score in the second game after losing the first game.
The Spurs' home court has always been considered the devil's home court, and the visiting team's winning percentage there is very low. If they can't hold on to this home court...
Lakers fans try not to think about the following game, quietly watching the bench or the big screen above the stadium, trying to find a trace of signs that they can comeback and win.
Barkley and Kenny Smith also started to worry about the Lakers.They think it is difficult for the Lakers to defend this home court, and the next two games in San Antonio will be even more difficult for the Lakers.
Scott repeatedly emphasized the cooperation on the offensive end, allowing the three players who are not marked to run as much as possible, seize open opportunities, and minimize the point difference.
Kobe was talking about some details with George, asking him to try to push Kawhi Leonard away from the penalty area when defending, and not let Kawhi Leonard shoot in the comfort zone.Such a defense will basically have no effect.
Xu Tian listened to Scott and Kobe's words at the same time, his mind was buzzing, and he didn't know which one to listen to first.This was caused by the confusion in his mind, and it was difficult to calm down for the time being.
Popovich also talked about G13 of the 6 finals, reminding the players not to be careless, continue to maintain a stable offense and defense, and strive to win this game steadily.
