Chapter 547 Fighting the Spurs Again
So this season they continue to meet in the playoffs, which makes the fans look forward to it. After all, the performance of the Pacers this season has made people's eyes shine. The regular season record can even be better than the Cavaliers, so everyone is still looking forward to their performance.

And the matchup in the West is even more sparks touch the earth. The intensity of the game between the second Warriors in the West and the Pelicans third in the West can even be compared with the finals. After all, whoever is the top three in the West enters the final The finals will not surprise anyone. Judging from the current combat effectiveness of these three teams, they can definitely rank in the first echelon in the league. Naturally, the Lakers needless to say, sitting on Ye Xuan, the strongest team in the league Weapons, as long as other players can perform a little better, they are enough to dominate the league, and the Warriors are the first team in history to have two regular season MVPs at their peak. It cannot be ignored that the same is true of the third-ranked Pelicans. Although they do not have regular season MVP winners, their team's combat effectiveness is also very terrifying. At the same time, they are also the most powerful inside team in the league. Team.

Of course, it doesn't mean that the Lakers' second-round opponent, the Spurs, is not strong. Everyone knows that the Spurs' playoffs are absolutely terrifying, and they easily defeated the Rockets in the first round. From the perspective of things, the combat power of the Spurs definitely does not match his fifth place in the Western Conference. This can also be attributed to the various rotations of Mr. Zhuge Weiqi. Basically, none of the main players of the Spurs this season can Leonard, who played 75 games and played the most games this season, only played 72 games. In other words, before he knew it, Leonard was rested for ten games, let alone Adelaide. After playing 66 games, Ginobili and Parker also played about 60 games, and their playing time has dropped significantly compared to previous seasons.

From a rational analysis of the data, when the Lakers face the Spurs, the chances of winning are still very large. After all, the Lakers swept the Spurs in the regular season, but the Lakers can't take it lightly. After all, the opponent's The playoff experience is very rich, but the Lakers' substitutes have relatively little playoff experience, including Clarkson and others, basically none of them have played in the playoffs.

In a blink of an eye, the first contest between the Lakers and the Spurs in the second round of the playoffs kicked off at the Staples Arena in Los Angeles. The Lakers fans finally enjoyed this season 6 years ago. The feeling of dominating the entire league, and compared with that year, the Lakers this year still have something new, they also have a future, and now it seems that Ye Xuan's stay in the team is almost confirmed, the Lakers After the end of this season, he will definitely propose an early contract extension, and as long as the contract offered by the Lakers is not too bad, Ye Xuan should not refuse, after all, this team is already the perfect place for Ye Xuan.

As long as Ye Xuan, who is now considered the most powerful player in the league, is on the team, wouldn't it be easy for the Lakers to recruit other big-name players? Even if Wade Gasol retires or leaves, the Lakers will also Still able to ensure that he is at the forefront of the league, so this year's Lakers fans are even more excited than before. During the appearance ceremony, the cheers of the fans are also louder every time. Artes, who has almost never got playing time Special, Hibbert, who was just traded to the team, from the bench Raider Ni Young to the Lakers' own draft pick Randall, the cheers were louder and louder. Of course, when it was Ye Xuan's turn to play, the cheers on the scene also reached the apex.

The appearance ceremony was over, and the game between the two teams began immediately. The referee threw the ball high, and the insiders of the two teams immediately jumped towards the basketball. Aldridge touched the basketball first and slapped the ball into Parker's hands. Ye Xuan did the same. As active as ever, he immediately stepped forward to press, trying to make the opponent's mistakes, but Parker's experience is still very rich, a change of direction after changing hands in the crotch avoided Ye Xuan, and then took advantage of the trend to break inward, the Lakers The defensive players didn't know whether it was the start of the game, so they couldn't concentrate or what was going on, so they didn't have time to step forward to defend. Parker rushed to the lakers' free throw line all the way smoothly. At this time, Parker didn't After thinking about it, he was about to make a jump shot here, but he didn't expect that the reason why the Lakers' defense didn't keep up was because Ye Xuan behind him had already quietly caught up, the moment he shot the basketball , Ye Xuan jumped high, fanned the ball out of the sideline, and at the same time got the first technical statistic of the game - blocks.

The Spurs served from the sideline, and Parker held the ball again at the top of the arc. This time, he didn't dare to handle the ball casually. According to the previous tactical arrangement, he hoisted the ball into the inside and handed it to Jefferson. Jefferson wanted to single Pau Gaso It's relatively easy for Hill, who is not good at hand-to-hand combat, but the Lakers obviously wouldn't give him a chance to back up, so they immediately sent Solomon Hill to double-team, and Jefferson also immediately distributed the ball. , After the outside Leonard received the ball, Wade, who passed the defense, stepped in and pulled it up to make a mid-range shot, hitting the ball.

The Lakers serve from the backcourt. After receiving the serve, Ye Xuan slowly holds the ball and advances to the frontcourt. The defensive player he is facing is naturally Leonard. In fact, Ye Xuan has already thought about what he needs to do in this game. The most important thing is to try to help my teammates find the feeling of attacking, so that at least the team can score stably, otherwise if I keep attacking with the ball at this point, once the opponent chooses to use other players besides Leonard Come and double-team me, and if your teammates don't feel good at this time, you will lose most of the game, so this time, Ye Xuan didn't attack by himself, but chose to pass the ball.

The tactics of the Lakers were relatively few. Basically, the players on the court played more on the spot. After receiving the pass from Ye Xuan, Gasol decisively chose to break through Jefferson head-on. If you let him play back, then he will definitely not be able to support Jefferson, but when it comes to footsteps, Gasol really has the advantage, but in the inside duel, there will always be other people to interfere , Parker touched it at this time. Fortunately, Gasol reacted quickly and directly distributed the ball. Wade caught the ball from the outside and took a feint shot. .

The Spurs' defense has actually done a good job, but Wade's finishing ability is indeed very strong. This goal can only be said that Wade scored with strength, while the Spurs' offense did not stop. After serving from the backcourt, Parker quickly advanced to the frontcourt, then called Aldridge to perform a pick-and-roll, and then turned back to Mochizuki to send the ball back to Adelaide. At this time, Adelaide was one step inward at the top of the arc, also Mid-range shot, hit the ball steadily.

In fact, the Spurs' style of play is much more antique than the Lakers, Warriors, Rockets, and even the Cavaliers, especially the Rockets.Under the leadership of D'Antoni this season, the Rockets averaged the number of three-point shots per game ranked first in the league, and the number of hits was second in the league. The main reason is that in the offense of the Rockets, almost only There are two options, either to break through to the inside and pursue a higher shooting percentage at a place closer to the basket, or to pursue the scoring efficiency of scoring a three-point shot from outside the three-point line. The option of CIC rarely appears in China.The same situation also appeared in the Warriors and Lakers. The Warriors will make mid-range shots. Except for Durant who is holding the ball in singles, he only has an average three-point shooting rate, but the post-up singles have a high percentage of fallback jumpers. Livingston is gone, and the same is true for the Lakers. Ye Xuan's mid-range shots of the big three are basically emergency stop jumpers after breakthroughs, and the same is true for Wade. Gasol picks and rolls for the first two. When it comes to the mid-range shot after the return pass, there are very few mid-range shots at other times.

The Spurs are different. They will formulate some mid-range shooting tactics. For example, the ball scored by Ade just now is a running tactic specifically for mid-range shooting.In fact, in this era where you can't score more than a hundred and you are embarrassed to say that you are here to play basketball, the Spurs' style of play can be said to be a bit behind, but their strength lies in their ability to execute effectively. Tactics, and the end points are often able to hit the ball stably, so their record can be ranked relatively high.

However, in terms of scoring efficiency, three-pointers are more efficient. After the Lakers served in the backcourt, Ye Xuan chose a quick three-pointer. The timing took a step to the side, and it was a three-point shot. The three-pointer was hit steadily, and the score was overtaken. The audience cheered. This is why the current team will pursue the three-pointer more. The reason, If you make a mid-range shot, the opponent may recover it in one offensive round, but if you hit a three-pointer, you will get [-] times the profit of the mid-range shot.

Of course, how to choose the offensive method depends on the team. Jefferson in the Spurs does not have the ability to make three-pointers, so they want to open up space and use sudden points to seek open three-pointers. It was more difficult, so the old man also took advantage of them and prepared to play from the inside. This was naturally a correct choice. Jefferson asked for the ball inside, and after receiving the ball, the others all stretched to the weak side and gave Jefferson The chance of singles, this time the Lakers did not dare to double-team easily, after all, the opponent stretched too far, but fortunately Jefferson's hand feeling is not very good today, this time the hook after turning back did not catch the ball hit.

Randall accepted the rebound and quickly sent the ball to Wade's hands. Ye Xuan had already rushed to the opponent's half court at full speed at this time, and Leonard was chasing after him. Wade saw nothing. The opportunity to pass the ball can only be brought to the frontcourt by himself. Ye Xuan quickly failed this time, but he still came out from the inside. After Wade passed the ball to him, he ran inward. Very witty, after catching the ball, he also broke through inwards, using his own rhythm to sway Leonard who was chasing him, and then faced Adelaide, he was about to force himself up, Adelaide quickly jumped up to block the block, but Ye Xuan lightly slammed the ball Send, the ball was sent from Adelaide's crotch to Wade who was inside at the same time, and the latter made an easy layup and scored two points.

In the next round, the Spurs still chose to attack from the inside, but Jefferson's inside singles still failed. Gasol, who took off the rebound, did not disappoint Ye Xuan this time, sending the ball with a super long distance. In the hands of Ye Xuan, although there was still Leonard chasing after him, Ye Xuan basically declared that the fast break was over when he received the ball, two steps into the three-point line, Ye Xuan decisively He took three slow steps, and when Leonard was soaring into the sky to block the shot, Ye Xuan slowly made a layup motion, and deliberately hooked his waist to let Leonard His hand couldn't reach the basketball in Ye Xuan's hand at all, but the slap hit Ye Xuan's arm. Not only did he hit the fast break, but it also caused Leonard's foul. At this time, Wade behind Ye Xuan also ran away. Come over and give Ye Xuan a high five to celebrate.

As for the Spurs, Mr. Zhuge Weiqi saw that the situation was not good, so he immediately called a timeout, preparing to rearrange the team's tactics, and at the same time let the momentum that the Lakers just raised slightly slow down, otherwise If you continue to play, the game is very likely to be opened up by the opponent directly.

The audience at the scene naturally cheered in various ways during this pause, and the atmosphere was gradually brought up by Ye Xuan's quick download this time.After the timeout, Wade walked to the free throw line and made a steady free throw.The Spurs can only serve from the backcourt. This time the Spurs did not continue to let Jefferson play singles inside. Instead, Parker broke through with the ball, and then Jefferson made a pick-and-roll. Attacked the Lakers' basket, but this time their tactics had a problem again, that is, Parker and Jefferson's pick-and-roll failed to get rid of Ye Xuan. Although Jefferson still held the basketball, he had already caught up with Ye Xuan, and was eventually awarded a jump ball by the referee.

Of course, there is no need to think too much about the result of the jump ball. Although Ye Xuan is the champion of the slam dunk contest, his jumping ability is not good enough without the adjustment of the entertainment system. Jefferson still won, but the Spurs didn't have much time to attack at this time. After receiving the ball, Adelaide could only barely dribble a few steps, and then shot. Fortunately, his luck was not bad. The three-pointer actually hit directly.
