Chapter 172 Li Du Returns
After Kobe made the goal, Zen Master and Popovich replaced their core players respectively.The score difference between the two teams is 7 points. As long as this point difference is maintained and enters the fourth quarter, the Lakers will have a great chance of winning!
After the end of the game, Kobe did not sit on a chair to rest, but walked up to Li Du, who was standing outside the court, and asked, "Li, how is it? How long will it take to recover?"

Li Du exhaled slowly and said, "According to the current situation, the fourth quarter will be played in the last half quarter!"

"Is it enough for the last half of the quarter?" Kobe nodded, and then walked back, thinking in his mind, if Li Du can play the last half of the quarter, it means that as long as the Lakers don't get caught up by the Spurs before then , the Lakers will be able to win this game!
After Kobe sat down, Odom and Gasol came over and asked, "Boss, how is it? When will Lee recover his strength?"

"The last half!" Kobe said, and then told them: "We can't be careless. The point difference is now 7 points, but the Spurs' bench is better than ours, and the point difference will be narrowed! We will start the fourth quarter a minute or two earlier. , and then we must do our best to ensure that the score cannot be chased back by the Spurs! When Li Du plays, our advantage will come back!"

The Spurs' substitutes can be said to be the most terrifying substitutes in the league. Under Popovich's system, every substitute player can exert his greatest strength.As for the Lakers, after letting Odom replace Li Du, the bench lineup lacked a core, and the defense was okay, but the scoring ability was much weaker.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Spurs showed off collectively with the bench lineup, and once again approached the point difference to 4 points.But at this time, Kobe and others are not yet available.If they play now, as long as they can't close the point difference, it is likely to lead to the Spurs chasing the score back in the end!
At the critical moment, Zen Master called Luke Wharton to his side and gave some instructions in a low voice.

Kobe knew that before Li Du joined the Lakers, Luke Walton had always been a player that Zen Master liked and trusted very much. He inherited his father Bill Walton's high IQ and was always known for his good passing on the court.At this time, in the Lakers' bench lineup, he is considered the most reassuring player.

Sure enough, after Luke Walton got the advice of the Zen master, he immediately led the Lakers to play the triangle offense that the Zen master had always wanted to see, and immediately stabilized the situation.The Spurs' substitute was not to be outdone, and immediately fought back.

The scores of the two sides rose alternately, but the point difference has remained between 4 and 6 points.Seeing that the situation has stabilized, Kobe and the others also breathed a sigh of relief, quietly waiting to play, secretly accumulating strength, and going to the final decisive battle with the Spurs!
With 8 minutes left in the fourth quarter, Popovich couldn't hold back and replaced the main lineup.Now that the Spurs are behind and there is still more than half a quarter left, they are no longer allowed to accumulate energy. They can only rely on Duncan and others to adjust on the court.

The Zen master was not at all confused, seeing Duncan and others playing, he also replaced Kobe and the others.

"Two minutes, hold on for another two minutes!" Kobe looked up at the timer and shouted at the Lakers.

The shouts from the Lakers made the Spurs very puzzled, "What do you mean by holding on for another 2 minutes? Do the Lakers think that we will collapse after 2 minutes? Lakers, you are underestimating us!"

The corner of Ginobili's mouth raised slightly, and he said to Duncan and Parker: "Next, give me the ball! I want them to see that these 2 minutes will be the time for us to reverse the game!"

It has to be said that Ginobili is definitely the leading scoring genius in the NBA. Even under Kobe's strict defense, his unpredictable movements still exert irreplaceable power. It is unbelievable to throw the ball in when the body is out of balance.

But Kobe didn't give in, he was a super scorer himself, Ginobili wanted to grab points with him, how could he let Ginobili succeed.A back attack, in Kobe's body, derived infinite kinds of offensive modes.Bowen couldn't touch Kobe's ideas at all, so he could only rely on years of experience to defend.

2 minutes passed quickly, and the score gap between the two teams remained between 4 and 6 points.It is difficult for the Lakers to expand their lead, and it is also difficult for the Spurs to narrow the gap.

In these 2 minutes, Manu Ginobili opened fire, and Kobe also scored like a bag.After fighting like this, their physical exertion is not small.

Until the sound of substitutions sounded from the sidelines, Kobe panted heavily and looked back. Li Du was tidying up his jersey and came on the court. Then he wiped off his sweat and walked over to give Li Du a high-five, "Li, you are back!" , Boss, I fought very hard!"

Li Du laughed: "Boss, I think it's too early for me to come back. You and Manu seem to be very happy to fight against each other! It's rare that someone can match you in scoring!"

Kobe turned his head to look at Ginobili, and said with a smile: "Yes, Manu is a good opponent! But I prefer..."

"Victory!" Li Du followed Kobe's words and shouted out at the same time as Kobe.The two looked at each other and laughed!

"It turns out that the 2 minutes mentioned by the Lakers means that Li Du will play in 2 minutes!" Duncan shook his head. Li Du has been resting since the first half of the third quarter, and he has been resting until now. No need to ask, just to recover physical strength.

From the first half to the first half of the third quarter, the entire Spurs were severely suppressed by Li Du. At that time, even Duncan himself had difficulty maintaining stability, let alone others.However, when Li Du seemed to be about to win the game, he suddenly left the field, which showed that Li Du's explosive defense consumed a lot of energy, so he went off to recover his strength.

Now that Li Du is playing, it shows that his physical strength has recovered a lot, and he can continue that terrible explosive defense!The Spurs played in the second half of the quarter, it was very difficult to play!
What the Spurs didn't expect was that Li Du came up this time not only to suppress them on the defensive end, but more importantly, Li Du's miraculous running position and three-pointer that appeared at the beginning of last season. Point the ball, appeared again!
Ginobili guarded Li Du, and Kobe nodded lightly at Li Du. Li Du looked at Ginobili who had been sticking to him, and didn't move much, but started to move inside.

"He wants to hit the inside?" Ginobili became very nervous, watching Li Du's every move closely, ready to counter Li Du's back attack at any time.

But Li Du didn't ask for the ball. Seeing Ginobili staring at him for a moment, he naturally lowered his hands, facing Ginobili, posing like a hungry tiger pouncing a rabbit, and then suddenly stared!

"Uh..." Ginobili only felt a blur in front of his eyes, and a chilling aura suddenly came from Li Du, as if Li Du suddenly changed, no longer a player, but a murderer who wanted to kill himself. beast!
