Chapter 120 Made Two Changes
Spurs attack.

Ginobili had a brief exchange with Rose as he advanced.

In the frontcourt, it was still a pick-and-roll between the two.

But this time, Rose ran directly back to the basket after dismantling.

Ginobili was double-teamed and immediately lobbed the ball to Rose.

Rose caught the ball and rushed inside.

If the Spurs also have a field commander, it is definitely not Parker, but Manu Ginobili.

The offense was unfavorable in the last round, and Ginobili made adjustments immediately.

Stocky big men like Rose are usually very strong and have great impact.

If the outside line is not lethal, then I will attack the inside line.

That's right.

It's a pity that the Lakers still have an iron wall blocking them.

Rose got up to attack the frame, but was pushed back by Ye Heping, who leaped high and dribbled the ball.

The Lakers continued to play defensive counterattacks, and this time Ye Heping scored a dunk by himself.

32: 29.

"Roar!"

After landing, Ye Heping beat his chest and roared.

"This is my house!"

All the Los Angeles fans stood up and roared loudly: "My house! My! My!..."

A wave of 7:0, defending the Spurs for two consecutive rounds.

叶和平回来不到1分钟，砍下2分2篮板2助攻1抢断1盖帽，带队又把比分追了上来。

Beep beep!

Popovich couldn't sit still anymore, called a timeout directly, and asked Duncan to prepare to play.

"The Lakers were respectable tonight."

"That's right, no one believed the Lakers could fight the Spurs without Kobe, but they proved themselves. They were pulled away three times and caught up three times. They were like unbeatable Xiaoqiang, with unimaginable resilience."

"Especially the return of Ye Heping has greatly boosted the morale of the team. He is still limping, but in this 1 minute, he dominated the Staples Center in his own way!"

"Fans who follow the NBA should know that Ye Heping and KG reconciled. I want to say that these two guys are really similar. When you are an opponent with Ye Heping, you must not relax for a second. The Spurs are a lesson from the past."

In the commentary seat, the guests and commentators bragged wildly.

"However, based on a rational analysis, I think the Spurs themselves have a problem."

"The combination of Musenberg and Rose is too bad. They can't protect the basket and have no offensive power. The absence of Rasutrovich has made the Spurs stretched inside. And Robert Horry... In short, the Spurs are almost unavailable now."

"Yes, Popovich has to make a change, Duncan has to come back on the court."

The guest commentator used two musts in a row, which shows how obvious the disadvantages of the Spurs lineup are.

"It's interesting to say, who would have thought that the Lakers could push the Spurs to this level, and the Spurs are the leaders in the regular season!"

Back from the timeout, Duncan really played and replaced Rose.

Ginobili and Duncan play pick and roll.

The same tactics, but the effect of changing individuals is completely different.

No one dared to short Duncan.

"Caron, stay with Ginobili!"

Ye Heping reminded loudly.

Butler was reminded, took a step ahead of time, and continued to keep up with Ginobili.

But Ginobili made a high lob and handed the ball directly to Duncan who cut inside.

Facing Medvedenko, Duncan squeezed in directly with his body.

Medvedenko likes confrontation, but the confrontation is not strong. He was pushed back by Duncan and couldn't hold his defensive position at all.

Ye Heping had no choice but to give up Massenberg and come up to help defend.

Duncan noticed something, and took advantage of Ye Heping's rush to pass the ball to the basket, and Massenberg dunked the ball.

Bang!
34: 29.

The Spurs finally broke the scoring drought.

Duncan is Duncan, there is no comparison between cats and dogs, and there are no loopholes.

It doesn't matter how Ye Heping made the ball just now.

Musenberg scored in the flanking attack, and Duncan scored in the absence of the flanking attack. There is no difference.

Tang Shuai immediately made adjustments, and Mim replaced Duncan.

The Lakers attack.

Butler broke through and gave the ball to Cook, and Cook hit a three-pointer with a knife in his hand. This guy also feels great.

34: 32.

But looking back, Duncan tricked Mim with a fake move under the basket, and made an easy hit on the board.

36: 32.

Duncan was really confused, and with the addition of Barry, Ginobili, and Udrih, a group of outsiders opened up space, the Lakers dared not double-team.

At half time, the Spurs widened the gap again, 41:35.

Then the two teams replaced their main players, Ye Heping and Ginobili both went off to rest, and it was another big battle.

Relying on the tactical cooperation of Duncan and Parker, the Spurs continued to widen the gap.

At the end of the first half, 52:43, another nearly 10-point difference.

This is the fourth time the Lakers have been opened up by the Spurs.

There is no way, the Spurs are far stronger than the Lakers on paper.

In fact, even if Kobe is there, the Spurs will have a complete lineup, and the Lakers and Spurs are still four or six.

The hope for the Lakers to win is Kobe. After all, Kobe will explode every time he meets the Spurs.

Without Kobe, the chances of the two teams winning or losing are 1:9, or even 0:10.

Who would believe that the Lakers without Kobe can beat the Spurs with GDP?
Look at how future generations evaluate the Spurs’ GDP at this time: Parker is still relatively weak when he is a fledgling, but Duncan is almost the No.1 in the league at this time, and Ginobili is the No.1 in world basketball.

……

During the intermission, the Lakers locker room was a little quiet, and the atmosphere was not very good.

It is respectable to catch up three times in a row.

But being opened up four times in a row is also a blow to the players. I feel that my previous efforts are in vain and nothing is meaningful.

"You are all the best basketball players, you can't admit defeat, you must keep hope. If you persist, you may win. If you give up, you will lose."

Tang Shuai poured a meal of chicken soup, but the effect was not good. He is not this type of coach.

The point is that Tang Shuai himself feels that there is little hope of winning.When Kobe comes back, the Lakers have hope to beat the Spurs.

In this way, the Lakers have already lost.

"Odom, we need you to stand up!"

When Tang Shuai left, Ye Heping suddenly stood up and said.

"I know!"

Odom nodded, Kobe is not here, he is the boss of the team, he understands his responsibility.

"No! Not enough!"

Ye Heping shook his head: "The problem for the Spurs tonight is the [-]th position. Musenberg is too old, Rose is too short, and Horry can't play. This is our only chance. You have to play more, so that we have a chance."

"Brothers, I didn't choose to come back because I was injured because I can't abandon you. Even if I lose, I still have to give the Spurs a little look. For me, and to prove yourself, do it!"

"Done!"

"Dry!"

"Damn the spurs!"
