Chapter 178 Strong start
The Spurs' starting lineup has changed. Duncan, Parker and Bowen remain unchanged. Oberto enters the starting lineup again. Ginobili is not in the starting lineup. Michael Finley will replace him.

After the Spurs changed, Duncan returned to the center position again, and Oberto played against Gasol at power forward.Finley himself has the ability to shoot in the long range. Although his breakthrough has degraded a lot due to age, his offensive power is not weak.

After playing, Li Du understood Popovich's intentions after looking at the Spurs' lineup.Ginobili himself is a master backcourt player who integrates offense, defense, and team organization. Having him in the bench lineup can greatly enhance the stability and strength of the Spurs' bench lineup. Moreover, Ginobili If he is not in the starting lineup, he will avoid confrontation with Li Du, and can release Ginobili's power to the greatest extent.

The Spurs' starting lineup will not lack organizational skills because of Ginobili. Parker and Duncan are the best organizers in the starting lineup!
Kobe patted Li Du lightly, and said to Li Du: "See, the Spurs are going to compete with us for the second team! This time you are going to defend Finley. He is old and his body has degraded a lot. Yes. You're easy. Blow up the offense, Lee!"

Duncan beat Bynum with a jump ball, and the Spurs took possession of the offensive ball first.

On the first offense, the Lakers felt the Spurs' completely different tactics!Parker obviously could pass Fisher by himself, but he didn't do that. Instead, he let Duncan come up to pick and roll with him, and then broke through the inside. Bynum moved laterally to defend, and Parker passed the ball back to Duncan.

After Duncan received the pass from Parker, he made a fake move, and while shaking Gasol, he distributed the ball to Bowen.

Bowen received a pass from Duncan in the corner and hit a three-pointer!
The entire offensive process of the Spurs is smooth and smooth, and Li Du dare not go up to defend Duncan and Parker. Once Finley is released, the basketball will be passed to Finley immediately.As one of the three Musketeers of the Mavericks, Finley's long-range shooting ability is far above Bowen!

It seemed that the Spurs were still consciously avoiding Li Du, which was similar to the last two games, but Li Du deeply felt the difference!In the last two games, the Spurs were forced to avoid Li Du's tactics, but this time, the Spurs took the initiative to isolate Li Du from the Lakers' defensive system!The result of this subtle change is that the Spurs' smooth overall offense reappeared!

When the Lakers attacked, Kobe started a pick-and-roll with Li and Du. After the Spurs switched positions, Bowen defended Li and Du, and Finley defended Kobe.

Kobe played Finley, which definitely has an advantage.But Kobe didn't do this, but passed the ball back to Li Du, and asked Li Du to single-play Bowen.

Popovich also couldn't understand it. Logically speaking, Kobe is the strongest offensive point of the Lakers, and Finley is relatively weak in the Spurs' perimeter defense. Kobe plays Finley, whether it is tactical or not. The situation on the court is beneficial to the Lakers.

Although Li Du's offense was good, he was facing Bowen, one of the best defenders in the entire Spurs and even the entire league.No matter what you think, the Lakers are giving up their favorite style of play and choosing a wrong style of play!

Next, Li Du proved with his actions that the Lakers' choice was not wrong, but had great strategic significance!Because of Bowen's habit of playing black feet, Kobe told Li Du not to use back-up techniques when attacking, so Li Du chose to attack facing the basket this time.

Bao Wen was half a step away from Li Du, and a pair of big hands stretched out in front of Li Du's eyes.Before Li Du started to attack, Bo Wen used a blindfold!

"Humph!" Li Du snorted coldly, as if the opposite Bao Wen was just a display, and he didn't care that Bo Wen's fingers were almost inserted into his eyes. He lowered his head, bent down again, and took a lunge. He jumped out and stretched his body too long.

Bo Wen's hand just brushed Li Du's head and got out of the way. When he stepped back again, he only felt severe pain in his ribs and sternum, as if he had been hit by a bison, and his body couldn't help but stop.

"Dididi——" The referee's whistle sounded, Bowen blocked the foul, and the Lakers had the ball.

Less than a minute into the game, Bowen received his first foul, and seeing him rubbing his ribs, Popovich seemed to understand the Lakers' plan!They wanted to beat Bowen down through Li Du, and then Kobe could attack as much as he wanted!

In fact, Li Du didn't think so much. The Lakers launched an attack again, but Kobe still gave the ball to Li Du who was defended by Bowen.

"My boy, your actions are very insidious! Hit my ribs violently with your shoulder at a place where the referee can't notice, so that I can end up injured!" Bowen whispered viciously to Li Du, and as he said, He stretched out his hand to Li Du again.

"Huh?" Li Du didn't want to explain more at first, but when Bo Wen stretched out his hand in front of his eyes, Li Du suddenly felt that Bo Wen was going to do something wrong!This time the defense looked the same as before, and he still covered his eyes before Li Du launched an attack, but this time Bowen's hand covering his eyes was closer than last time, and the fingers should have been naturally separated or even closed together. But Li Du could clearly see that Bo Wen's fingers were slightly bent!
"Tiger Claw?" Li Du suddenly thought of this word!Although Bowen doesn't know boxing skills, his movements are very close to the tiger claws in Xingyiquan!

"I will never change my nature!" Li Du felt annoyed for a while, Bao Wen dared to lay hands on him!
With the same movement, Li Du lowered his head, bent over, then his shoulders sank, and he rushed out with a stride.Bao Wen was prepared this time. The moment Li Du bowed his head, his palm retracted and stretched out in front of Li Du again. As long as Li Du couldn't stop, he would definitely hit his palm, and Li Du Eyes are bound to hit his fingers too!

But just before Li Du's eyes were about to hit Bowen's fingers, Li Du grabbed and buckled his toes in the shoes, and secretly used the Qilin step, which increased the distance and speed of movement in vain.At the same time, because of the resentment towards Bao Wen, Li Du gathered his shoulders and pushed towards Bao Wen's chest, Xingyi fist and Yan Xing shoulder!

With a muffled "bang", Li Du avoided Bowen's finger poking his eyes, and at the same time, the two collided into each other!
Everyone only saw that after the two collided, Li Du was fine, while Bo Wen flew out sideways, fell to the ground and never got up again!

"Dididi——" The referee's whistle rang again, but this time it was not a penalty for a foul, but an emergency timeout, so that the Spurs' medical staff came over to check Bowen's situation.

After being checked by the team doctor, Bowen was not injured, but because of the sudden impact of a huge force on his chest, he had passed out out of breath and needed medical treatment!
"Wow——" The moment the result came out, the entire Staples Center was in a commotion. A seemingly ordinary collision knocked the opponent unconscious!Li Du's tyrannical power once again made everyone shudder!
