You should cross the mountains like a brave man

Chapter 513 Good luck to the Lakers

Game [-] of the Western Conference Finals between the Lakers and Spurs will be played as scheduled.

The Spurs followed suit and didn't look like they were about to end the season at all.

The first three games made them sure of one thing, and Manu Ginobili was stunned.Even though he was indispensable in the first two rounds, in the Western Conference Finals, he was a negative effect.

If a super sixth man relied on by the team has a negative effect, the impact will be very bad.

Because the super sixth man is often one of the five strongest players in the team, and Ginobili's strength is undoubtedly the top three in the Spurs. He has an absolute right to speak when leading the second team.

As the saying goes, if one general is incompetent, the whole army will be exhausted.

What does it take to lead a second unit with someone already unreliable?
Things have come to this point, the Spurs have no choice.

They still do not let Manu Ginobili start, but will not reduce his playing time.

The Spurs have reached the end of the road, and can only hope that Ginobili will suddenly break the shackles and bring a miracle.

The Spurs started Michael Finley, and then it became clear.

With Finley coming to the starting lineup, they will naturally find a way to focus on Finley.

The Lakers put Kobe on Finley and Versia on Parker.

Wei Xia accidentally swept away his previous stigma after the confrontation in the interview room and the attack on the US government a few days ago.

His speech was full of power and logic. He not only attacked the media, but also attacked the US government.To most Americans, it was a heroic act.

In any American blockbuster with personal heroism, the protagonist often has an extremely brain-dead boss and incompetent political institutions. In the end, the protagonist has to pay the price of challenging the official for all the shit they left behind.

It sounds unbelievable, but Americans just think it is very interesting and cool to fight against the ZF.

As for whether Wei Xia did it right or not, they didn't care.

Wei Xia's politically incorrect incident has become well-known in the United States after many months of exaggeration. He is already the most well-known player in the league.The public opinion and bad reputation changed accordingly. Zen master wanted to see if the referee's whistleblowing scale would change accordingly, so he let Wei Xia single-handedly defend Parker at the beginning.

Judging from the results, the Zen master's arrangement was wrong.

It's not that he made a mistake in predicting the situation, but that the counter person made a mistake.

Wei Xia can lock Parker in Game 1, but it doesn't mean that he can in every game.

The situation of each game is different. Today, the Spurs started with Parker, and then veteran Finley showed off.

The two worked together to defeat the Lakers' W/Mish combination.

Even the Lakers themselves couldn't figure out why it became like this.

In the first few games, Wei Xia looked like Parker's nemesis.Not to mention Finley, he is already very old, and his strength is much worse than that of his young self.The decline in athletic ability has brought about a substantial deterioration in defensive ability.As for the offensive end encountering Kobe's oppressive defense, how can he maintain his shooting stability?

The Lakers didn't get any answers.

The answer brought by the opponent was that Tony Parker made 6 of 3 in a single quarter and scored 6 points.

Finley scored 3 goals, including 2 three-pointers, and scored 8 points in a single quarter.

Parker and Finley work together, Duncan is much more relaxed, he has a lot of time and space to deal with Pau Gasol.Kobe and Wei Xia couldn't let him do whatever he wanted, they had to come to Shifo's side to double-team frequently.

As long as Duncan passes the ball outside, the opportunity will come out.

"Treasure the moment in front of you. Since the start of the Western Conference Finals, the two star guards of the Lakers were suppressed by the Spurs for the first time!"

Just when the Spurs felt that it was hopeful to defend their home court and avoid being swept, Derek Fisher made a quick three-pointer, reminding the Holy City people: If you care too much about Wesha and Kobe, other Lakers players will make you pay the price.

Fisher's outburst came at the right time.

By the way, bringing up the state of Radmanovic and Gasol, when Kobe and Wecha did not play well in the opening game, the Lakers insisted on biting the score and refused to let go.

The Spurs' joy lasted just 12 minutes.

At the end of the first quarter, Jackson specially called Wei Xia and Kobe to his side to give a key lecture: "Wish, you have defended the French to 15 for 0 before. I don't want you to copy the performance of that game. I just hope that the French will not shoot more than [-]% under your defense."

"Kobe," said the Mamba, simply, "in the last 12 minutes, you were blown away by a 35-year-old man."

Zen master is like the roundworm in Kobe's stomach. He knows what to say to arouse the other party's resentment and anger, and then arouse his fighting spirit.

When Kobe was angry, the Spurs suffered.

Kobe, who hugged his teammate's thigh tightly in the first quarter, became his own thigh in the second quarter, scoring 12 points from a sudden shot.

Parker went up and was defended 8-of-2 in a single quarter. Fortunately, Brent Barry's old gun was steady, and none of the goals that should be scored were missed.

The Spurs lost the key player in the offense, and the Lakers won by eight points in the second quarter.

When Kobe broke out, Wei Xia didn't need to work hard on the offensive end.

It's just right for him to shift his focus to the defensive end, and he can try the referee's scale through the game.

I don't know if it's because of the referee or because of his better reputation, Wei Xia feels like a star again.

At least in this game, he's privileged.

At the end of the half-time game, Wei Xia's data was not impressive.

9 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists, no steals, no blocks.

Because the data of single defense until the opponent misses the shot is not included in the statistics.

Later, there was a special website to count all kinds of strange data.

Wei Xia has become the league's single-defense success No. 10 for 1 consecutive years.

His advanced stats are worse than some of the recognized defensive black holes, but it's hard to see his strengths and performances for those who don't watch the ball with the stats.

"Wish, how would you rate yourself in the first half?"

"I might score a pass," Weissia explained. "I didn't play well in the first quarter, and Tony Parker overwhelmed me. But fortunately, I recovered in the second quarter, so there's no problem, and the 6 points are justified."

The last thing the Spurs wanted to see continued to happen in the second half, and suddenly it seemed like a ruthless tyrant with a trump card and no chance.

Wei Xia and Kobe played strong and weak side cooperation time and time again.

Kobe is the main attacker, Wei Xia is the main passer, the two support each other, and the presence on the offensive end is amazing.

Kobe once again scored 12 points in a single quarter and 29 points in three quarters.

Wei Xia scored 4 points and 6 assists in a single quarter.

His four assists were monotonous, and each of them came from Kobe.

In other words, his 6 assists and Kobe's 12 points in a single quarter have an overlap rate of 100%.

The Spurs lost to the Lakers by 7 points in a single quarter.

If they are already behind by 12 points, if they don't fight to catch up, they will only be blown out by the Lakers in the end.

Duncan and Parker, the answer to the last quarter.

The two of them scored 19 points, 10 rebounds and 4 assists.

The data in a single section is like this, which shows that we have tried our best.

However, there is Kobe on the opposite side.

Kobe who is in the state, Kobe who is constantly giving the ball to encourage him to attack, and Kobe who is red-eyed.

In the fourth quarter, Bryant did nothing but score.

For a full 12 minutes, he did nothing but catch the ball in the low post, run to catch the ball, and catch the ball on the spot.

Duncan Parker scored 19 points together and looked wonderful, but Kobe scored 17 points in the fourth quarter alone.

His performance sent the Spurs to death.

In the whole game, Kobe scored 44 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists and 0 free throws.

Zero free throws in Game 3, bringing his conference finals average down to [-] free throws per game.

对马刺四场场均29分6篮板7助攻，命中率48%，每场3个罚球。

This is the ability to make the most scalp tingling for the Spurs.

The state is coming, it is unreasonable, a high shot is directly shot to death, absolutely domineering.

For the Spurs, Duncan has done many things he is good at and not good at in a life-and-death battle.

His hit rate in this battle was not high, only 39%.Because there is no feel, so focus on support.

邓肯全场得到20分16篮板和10助攻，职业生涯季后赛第四场三双。之前的三场三双，一场是总决赛对篮网惊神泣鬼的21分20篮板10助攻8盖帽；一场对太阳的15分20篮板10助攻4盖帽……就这些数据来看，他实在太像太像太像比尔·拉塞尔了。

This triple-double was also the last triple-double in his playoff career. Unlike the dominant games in the past, he lost tonight.

As if to suggest that his reign with the Spurs might be over.

The data that hurts the Spurs fans the most is Ginobili's average data.

In the Western Conference Finals, Ginobili averaged 32 minutes per game, scored 12 points, 3 rebounds and 5 assists, and shot 32% from the field.

To paraphrase the words of Chinese fans: Even if you let Liu Wei, Hu Xuefeng, and Fan Bin play, it is hard to be worse than this.

Manu Ginobili in the Western Conference Finals was the devil in the eyes of Spurs fans. His extreme criminal performance was the culprit of the Spurs' collapse.

And then, that's it.

Last year, the Spurs sent the Lakers away, swept the Cavaliers, and won the championship, continuing the law that the Spurs and the Lakers must win the championship by eliminating their opponents in the playoffs.

"Now we can only wish the Lakers good luck and hope they win a championship for the West."
