Chapter 121 Although the defeat is glorious, the third change

At the beginning of the second half, the Spurs attacked.

Duncan scored with a meme under the basket.

54: 43.

The difference between the two sides reached double digits again.

But looking back, Odom used his footsteps to break through Massenberg and score.

In the next round, Odom continued to eat the 38-year-old Massenberg with speed.

54: 47.

Duncan made a mid-range breakthrough to the basket and scored.

56: 47.

Odom continued to eat Masenberg, but the Spurs adjusted quickly, and Bowen came to help defend.

Odom gave the ball to Ye Heping immediately, and Ye Heping made a mid-range shot.

56: 49.

Duncan hit Mihm, Odom gave up Masenberg directly and double-teamed Duncan.

Duncan gave the ball to Masenberg. Masenberg had no basket and could only rush in. Ye Heping slapped the shot on the backboard.

Odom took the ball and made a fast break.

Ginobili followed quickly, but the physical gap was obvious, so he had no choice but to choose to foul.

Odom made two free throws!
56: 51.

Spurs substitutions, Rose for Musenberg.

Odom continued to put Rose and double-teamed Duncan.

Rose, who was open to catch the ball, also had no basket, so he still rushed in.

After rushing into the crowd, he was attacked by the Lakers' top three, and Ye Heping cut the ball quickly and accurately.

The Lakers made a fast break and Butler hit a three-pointer.

56: 54.

Beep beep!

Popovich called a timeout.

The Lakers caught up with a wave of 11:4 attacks for the fourth time and stopped the Spurs again.

"Ye Heping's defense is still reliable."

"But Odom's performance is surprising. I always think he is not worthy of the title of left-handed magician, but after tonight I will no longer think so. Odom deserves his name."

"Odom is not distracted, the lower limit is an All-Star!"

……

Back from the timeout, Popovich adjusted a brand new lineup.

Duncan, Bowen, Barry, Ginobili, Parker.

This is a lineup of one big and four small. Although the height of the inside suffers, the advantage is that they all have range.

With this lineup, the Lakers would never dare to double-team Duncan again.

This season, Ginobili made 37.6% of his 40.5-pointers, Bowen 35.7%, and Barry [-]%.

The game started again, relying on the space opened by his teammates, Duncan was like a fish in water, making waves under the Lakers' basket, unstoppable.

Of course, everything has two sides.

The Spurs' lineup activated Duncan to the greatest extent, but the protection of rebounds was slightly worse. The Lakers' three highs teamed up to grab many rebounds.

But judging from the results, this lineup does more harm than good, or the Lakers haven't found a strategy to deal with it yet.

Until the end of the game, the Lakers did not close the score again, but they did not allow the Spurs to open up too much.

The whole game, no garbage time.

Beep beep!

104:97, the Spurs finally defeated the Lakers.

"It was a respectable game."

"The lads from the Lakers gave us a great game."

"They're as tough as I've ever seen them in my life."

"Defeated is glorious!"

The Spurs won, but the commentary was full of praise for the Lakers.

In the press conference after the game, Popovich praised the entire Lakers team.

The reporters think it's normal. Popovich has always liked milk opponents, but most of the time they are poisoned milk.

But when he focused on praising Ye Heping, the reporters showed funny expressions.

There is a lot of news in the small circle of the NBA that cannot be hidden. For example, the Spurs contacted the Lakers and hoped to trade for Ye Heping.

In the face of reporters' questions, Popovich was very personable.

"I still hope to get Ye Heping, and I can guarantee that I am definitely not the only head coach or general manager in the league who thinks so."

"Fortunately, the kid only has a one-year contract with the Lakers, and I have a chance to get him in the offseason."

Tang Shuai also praised the Lakers' press conference.

"I'm so proud of them, it was their best game of the season and it's an honor to coach them."

……

Everyone intentionally or unintentionally avoided the conflict between Ye Heping and Huo Li.

The Spurs have a guilty conscience. After all, Horry played tricks first, but they can't catch chickens and lose money.

The Lakers also want to protect Ye Heping. This guy has had many conflicts in half a season. This kind of thing is not worth showing off.

In this game, Duncan scored 37 points, 13 rebounds, 3 assists and 4 blocks, which is a bug-level data.

Common sense in the league: If Duncan has good data, the chances of the Spurs winning will be relatively low, and it will be very difficult to win.

But there is no way tonight. The Spurs have no one to use inside. Duncan played 42 minutes. After 2000, he rarely played for such a long time.

吉诺比利17分6篮板5助攻，帕克16分7助攻，鲍文11分4篮板……

Lakers here:

奥多姆22分10篮板4助攻，阿特金斯15分4助攻，巴特勒14分6篮板，米姆12分8篮板。

叶和平“带伤出战”，砍下12分9篮板5助攻4抢断6盖帽，差一点打出55数据。

With the end of this battle, voices questioning Ye Heping on the Internet gradually disappeared, and Charlie Rosen seemed to have chosen to remain invisible.

The best way to break doubt is to perform flawlessly.

As for the matter of Ye Heping and Huo Li, anyone with eyes can see what's going on, and he doesn't have to be black.

The league quickly made a penalty. Robert Horry was fined 2 US dollars and suspended for three games.

This is nothing, the Spurs officially announced: Horry suffered a serious nose bridge injury and chest muscle contusion, and will be sidelined for 2 to 3 weeks.

Rasutrovich can't play, and Horry will also miss the game. This is bad news for the Spurs. In the next 2 to 3 weeks, they will be as stretched as they are tonight, and their record is likely to decline rapidly.

……

Three days later, on May 2th.

The Lakers came to Houston again, the third season of the Chinese Derby.

今晚的麦迪手感很冷，全场24投8中，三分球9中1，只拿下21分2篮板7助攻。

姚明23分8篮板4盖帽，韦斯利19分2篮板3助攻，苏拉19分12篮板8助攻5抢断，这三人表现得非常棒。

But apart from these three, the rest of the Rockets seemed to be invisible, and McGrady acted like a spy.

In contrast to the Lakers:

奥多姆22分12篮板8助攻，阿特金斯21分4篮板6助攻，巴特勒18分3篮板4助攻，叶和平16分8篮板5助攻3抢断2盖帽，米姆11分6篮板，库克10分3篮板，沃顿10分3篮板………七人得分上双，这又是一场团队的胜利。

In the end, the Lakers defeated the Rockets 119:111 and won a hard-won victory.

After the game, Ye Heping did not leave Houston immediately.

Durex arranged a community event for Ye Heping at a place called Tomball in the suburbs of Houston.
