NBA peak Jordan template

Chapter 71 The Spurs at home again, the perfect revenge (3)

Originally, the Spurs thought that the Lakers' defense in the first quarter was aggressive enough.

Unexpectedly, the Lakers could further strengthen their defensive strength in the second quarter.

When Parker received the serve and advanced with the ball, he was immediately intercepted by Oladipo's midfielder.

Ku Mamba's eyes are firm, like a cheetah, and he keeps trying to steal fiercely!
Parker was taken aback. He didn't expect the Lakers to start the second quarter and come to press down!

This little blackie in front of him is too fierce!

Seeing this, Kawhi also hurried over to pick and roll Parker, and Parker successfully dribbled the ball to the frontcourt.

Almost got eight seconds in the backcourt by Kumamba.

At this time, Butler also helped Oladipo defend and came to Parker.

Butler and Oladipo switched defenses.

This appears to be an opportunity for the Spurs.

Of course Parker will not let it go.

Pass the ball to Kawaii on the flank. Obviously, this is to let Kawaii singles Oladipo!
Misplaced singles!

Kawaii faced Oladipo with the ball, didn't think much, and dribbled the ball directly to dig in. Whether it is strength or height, Kawaii can definitely be called the perfect small forward template.

Play a guard.

it should be no problem?

Of course, except for Zheng Long!
In the last match between the two sides, Kawaii suffered a lot from Zheng Longdi's defense.

But facing Oladipo, Kawhi is really worth it.

In terms of strength alone, Kawhi was the man who fought against James in the finals!
Oladipo can only be pushed back by Kawaii!

result.

Kawaii suddenly felt that his hands were empty, panicked, and lowered his head to see that his basketball was cut off by Oladipo.

People passed by!

The ball didn't pass!

This kid. When? !

Oladipo took the risk and directly chose to steal!
Moreover, he won the bet!
Oladipo, who succeeded in the steal, directly picked up the basketball behind Kawhi and rushed straight to the frontcourt.

This perfect steal deserves an explosive dunk.

Oladipo completed an aerial chest folding dunk!
This buckle directly ignited the Staples Arena!

Bang! ! !
Lakers 32: 26 Spurs!

This turned out not to be an opportunity for the Spurs, but a trap for the Lakers!

Oladipo dared to step forward to press Parker and defend Kawhi.

Just be confident that you can prevent Kawaii!

of course.

There was a certain element of luck in this defense.

But being able to defend Kawhi alone and complete a steal, this goal is enough to drive the home fans crazy!

When Oladipo first came to the Lakers and replaced Russell, doubts surrounded him.

This little blackie, why?

The same as the second place.

Oladipo was a junior draft pick, and he only achieved results in his junior year, averaging 13.6 points, 6.3 rebounds, 2.2 steals and 2.1 assists per game.

And Russell is a freshman draft pick, averaging 19.9 points, 5.7 rebounds and 5 assists per game, and his three-point shooting percentage is extremely outstanding, with 41.1%.

From the data point of view, Russell's talent in his freshman year is worthy of Oladipo's junior year.

And the 13 years that Oladipo has joined the league can indeed be called a young draft year.

The No. [-] pick of the year, Bennett, has long since gotten out of the NBA.

On the other hand, Russell, a freshman rookie, has unlimited potential, and Oladipo's physical talent is worthy, his overall view and outside shooting are even better.

Although Russell had a bad season overall last season.

But there is no shortage of bright performances.

在2016年3月2日湖人对阵篮网的比赛中，拉塞尔出场35分钟，39分6篮板，三分球12投8中，不仅打破了当届唐斯保持的35分新秀最高得分纪录，还打破了湖人队史自1963-64赛季以来的新秀得分纪录。

These star-studded moments gave Lakers fans confidence and hope.

Although Oladipo's performance in his rookie season was more stable, this is his fourth year in the league.

With Oladipo being trained as the main force of the Magic management, in the past three years, he can still only stabilize at the level of 16+5+4+44% shooting percentage.

Fans don't believe that Russell can only reach the level of 16+5+4 in the third season.

Therefore, this wave of transactions between Russell and Oladipo is emotional and reasonable, which makes fans a little unacceptable.

And will not let go of any moment of Oladipo's poor performance during this period, and torture the Lakers.

Although there are not many opportunities, because Audi has become more and more stable after joining the team, especially his performance on the defensive end has given the fans too many surprises!
Today, being able to defend Kawhi alone and complete a steal and score a single fast break is like the epitome of Oladipo's performance during this period.

Maybe he is indeed not as talented as Russell.

But at least he never disappointed the Lakers fans!

Perhaps, he is indeed so low-key that people sometimes ignore his existence.

The light of the three Lakers brothers is dazzling, but Audi, he is like a solid guardian under the light.

Princes and generals, I would rather have a seed.

There is no shortage of talented players in the NBA, but Oladipo must be the man who is trying to squeeze his talent to nothing!

"The Spurs' first offense in the second quarter!"

"Just like the first offense in the first quarter, it was defended by the Lakers!"

"Today's Lakers really want to win!"

Oladipo's defense this time injected another stimulant into the Lakers players.

Anti, anti-fucking!

Even if your Spurs have dozens of offensive tactics, it will be useless in the face of absolute defense!
The Spurs played a tough, unbearable second quarter.

In the second quarter, a total of 17 shots were taken, 6 goals were hit, and only 35% of them were shot. The total score in the second quarter was only 14 points.

Although the Lakers' huge investment on the defensive end has reduced the team's offensive efficiency, they also scored 20 points in the second quarter.

On the final attack of the first half, Zheng Long entered the Spurs penalty area with the ball, and aggressively hung a Pau Gasol layup, resulting in 2+1, after making a free throw.

Lakers 50:40 Spurs!

The lead came to double digits.

The cheers of the Lakers fans filled the Staples Arena, they cheered, they shouted, they danced excitedly.

In the last game, the Lakers played away against the Spurs, although these fans were unable to watch the game.

But the fans who watched the game on live TV also felt uncomfortable and painful.

At that time, it was also labeled as a fake strong team by the outside media.

Although it has been so long.

By defeating the Warriors and firmly sitting on the No. [-] ranking in the Western Conference, no one dared to call the Lakers a pseudo-strong team for a long time.

But the loss to the Spurs.

Such as knuckles in the throat.

It's like taking a breath, and it can't go on.

Before the start of the game, the fans were worried that if the Lakers, who are now in full swing, lose to the Spurs again.

Was double killed.

It is estimated that he will be surrounded by the ridicule of other fans.

But in the first half today, the Lakers players used their performance to keep their dignity!

"Come on, Lakers! It's really important for me and other fans to win the Spurs!"

As the Lakers players passed by the tunnel entrance, a fan yelled and made everyone around laugh.

Zheng Long also laughed.

He took note of the fan's appearance, a wavy blonde in a Lakers No. 23 jersey.

Intermission time.

Father Popovich was also behind the team as usual and was furious in the locker room.

The roar echoed through the locker room.

Point out one problem after another in the first half.

The Spurs players all lowered their heads, accepting the old man's criticism honestly.

Bobo has a notoriously bad temper.

It's common to growl and get angry on the field, let alone in your own room behind closed doors.

Ginobili wiped his forehead silently.

Popovich was standing next to him, slobbering constantly on his head.

Due to baldness.

Ginobili could clearly feel the touch of the saliva touching the top of his head.

this moment.

Ginobili missed his flowing and thick hair very much.

Mr. Bobo finally uttered harsh words.

"If you are in this state, then don't play in the third quarter. I will go directly to the referee and tell us to surrender!"

"Anyone support this suggestion?"

"Who?!!!"

No one dared to say anything, the players were all nervous and motionless, anyone who dared to make the slightest noise at this time would be courting death!

Popovich nodded and continued: "Okay, since no one agrees with this suggestion, I hope you can give me a new answer with your performance in the third quarter."

After saying this, Popovich left the locker room.

When he walked out the door of the locker room, the fierce and angry expression on his face dissipated.

Be replaced by a sense of loss and loneliness.

He actually knew in his heart that the players had worked hard enough.

But facing today's Lakers.

Just working hard is not enough.

Someone must break out, someone must stand up, and someone must make the final decision to stabilize the situation.

"If only that kid TD was still around."

Bobo said to himself.

Then he shook his head again, letting this ridiculous thought fly out of his head.

Lakers locker room.

Again no players speak.

But the difference is that the players are all slumped in their seats to rest.

The exhausted panting sounded incessantly.

Jokic sat dazed, wiping off his sweat with a towel.

Everyone has physical strength.

Fierce confrontation and non-stop switching defenses are only half-court games and consumed the energy of the Lakers in the past three quarters.

Walton was also sitting in a corner of the locker room. After analyzing the simple tactics and problems in the first half, he chose to keep silent.

Give the players as much rest time as possible.

For most of the Lakers players today, keeping silent and stopping thinking is more conducive to recovering their physical strength.

Wharton was actually a little worried.

In the third quarter, whether the Lakers players can withstand it, if they resist, maintain this state, and take the game away in the third quarter.

If you can't bear it.

The Spurs' comeback is no joke.

Compared with the Lakers, the Spurs can make Mr. Popo play well from the starting lineup to the bench.

then.

Wharton saw that Zheng Long was still holding his mobile phone and giggling like a normal person.

Wharton: .
It seems that I was thinking too much, with Zheng Long here, what are you afraid of?

Even if the efficiency of the Lakers on defense will definitely drop, but on the offensive end, there are full-scale numbers.

Big deal, the attack was all planned by this kid.

Zheng Long still didn't know that Wharton was secretly observing him, and he was calculating.

Because Zheng Long just discovered that the cumulative number of fans on his social media has reached 400 million.

The system prompts that the reward has been obtained!
A $40 Lamborghini Aventador.

Although Zheng Long doesn't know any cars, he still understands the price tag of 40 US dollars and the gold content of the words "Lamborghini".

Too bad I don't have a driver's license yet.

But Lin Bao seems to have a driver's license, so it's a little surprise to give it to her when the time comes?

Ok.

A small surprise of $40.

greatly awaited.

The third quarter started.

After the players from both sides appeared on the field, Zheng Long made a move that was beyond everyone's expectations.

He came to the audience with his arms raised high.

Started waving constantly.

Every time Zheng Longdi raised his arms, the fans cheered like waves, wave after wave.

Before the third quarter started, the Staples Arena was deafening.

This posture.

Not to mention the Spurs players, even the Lakers players are fooled.

With Zheng Long's arrogant posture, it seems that victory is already in the Lakers' pocket!

Wharton shook his head helplessly, this kid.
Old Man Bobo's face was ashen, and he slammed the seat of the players' bench.

The TV commentary couldn't stand it anymore, and said: "Maybe Zheng Long is more excited to lead the Spurs at this time, but the game is not over yet."

"Maybe."

"He should give his opponent enough respect!"

Amid the cheers of the audience, the third quarter officially started, and the Spurs took the lead.

With the shadow of the failure of the first two first-round attacks.

The Spurs appeared extremely cautious and conservative.

But the Spurs are conservative in offense, which doesn't mean that the Lakers' players are conservative in defense.

Still a bitter mamba!

It is still a direct press in the frontcourt!

Fortunately, this time Parker put into gear and completed the overtaking without his teammates picking and rolling.

Parker is angry!

Do you think I'm out of gas in the tank? !

After breaking through Oladipo, Parker didn't even have any intention of slowing down, and went straight to the inside of the Lakers.

The Lakers players gather their defenses!

Parker made a move!
It's not a layup!
Instead pass the ball!

It turned out to be a breakthrough goal!
The basketball was thrown from Butler's ear by Parker and thrown to Kawaii on the flank!

Butler thought to himself: Oops!

Kawaii is in the big open space at this time, and two pairs of big hands have been stretched out.

Half way!

A figure burst out like a ghost!
Directly completed the air interception!
It's Zheng Long!
Zheng Long didn't directly choose to collect this ball, but pushed the ball to Oladipo who rushed beyond the three-point line.

Oladipo jumped up, accepting the unexpected surprise.

Single-player push fast break!

This must be another show?
Oladipo directly made a 360-degree dunk in the air!

The Lakers 52-40 the Spurs, continue to expand the point difference!
Lakers fans are going to be hoarse!
"In the first round of offense, the Spurs lost again!!!"

"A steal from Zheng Long!"

"Great individual dunk performance from Oladipo!"

"Oladipo's dunk is too stretched. I personally strongly recommend this year's All-Star Slam Dunk Contest. Oladipo must be played!"

"By the way, there is also Zheng Long!"

"Is there ever a team in history that sent two players to the dunk contest? I don't know."

"But neither Oladipo nor Zheng Long will participate in this year's dunk contest."

"It will make me feel sorry!"

Zheng Long and the excited Oladipo had an air collision, and then looked at Kawaii.

"today."

"Don't have the last laugh."

"Wait and cry for me!"

Cry for grandpa!
