Chapter 416 Completely Destroy the Spurs
Based on Popovich's character of seeing the starting players slack and immediately replacing all five players, he really can't stand Parker making two mistakes in a row, and the second mistake is really unreasonable. Leonard's obvious vacancy , didn't pass the ball, and he wanted to win the game very much today, so he naturally didn't look good.

On the way back to the bench, Tianyang heard Popovich roaring, and turned his head to see that Parker was listening to the training with a bewildered expression.

Unlike Popovich, Walton really has nothing to talk about, and the Lakers have done a good job offensively and defensively.

The 75-second timeout ended in a blink of an eye, the game continued, and the lineups of the two teams remained the same.

Parker took the ball to the front court, crossed the center line and suddenly accelerated, using Leonard's pick-and-roll to rush to the right wing, while Leonard himself made an empty cut to the basket, and Tatum chased sideways; The ball passed to the free throw line, Leonard caught the ball and continued to rush to the basket, Lopez stepped forward to defend, Leonard made a false pass, Gasol dunked and scored.

Such a simple tactic was so easy to make, Tianyang and Tatum shook their heads in acquaintance.

There is a problem with the communication between the two, so they should defend nearby.

...

The Lakers attacked, and Tianyang dribbled the ball to the top of the arc to face Parker. He felt that there was no need to worry too much about the weakest defense of the Spurs, so he directly raised his hand to signal for all players to pull away.

Changing hands under the crotch to cross-step dribble, Tianyang's movements changed from slow to fast, and Parker gradually couldn't keep up with the rhythm.

Four seconds later, Tianyang suddenly took a step to the left. When Parker moved laterally to intercept him, he immediately stopped and retreated.

Three points hit! 50 to 43, the point difference further widened.

The Spurs turned around to attack, Tianyang led the defense in the backcourt, and the Lakers once again resorted to a full-court press.

The basketball flew into the hands of Ginobili, and Kobe interfered with him. The two veterans fought wits and courage, and brought their skills and experience to the fullest. In the end, Kobe relied on his physical fitness to gain an advantage and forced Ginobili to pass the ball.

When Leonard received the ball, there was not much offensive time left, so he could only dribble twice, defending against Tatum.

Swish, hit a three-pointer! The ATT center was amazed and collectively chanted MVP.

...

The Lakers attacked, Tianyang took the ball to the frontcourt, Leonard walked towards him silently, but Parker waved his hand and said no, and said he could handle it, so Leonard turned and walked away with a depressed face.

Seeing this, Tianyang suddenly remembered all kinds of rumors in the past, and suddenly had a plan, and instantly increased his running speed to the maximum.

It was quite difficult for Parker to catch up, and he didn't even have the energy to wave his hand to signal Leonard not to help defend.

Tianyang passed the ball to Tatum, and the latter accelerated to the basket, facing Adelaide who was defending, he stopped and shot.

"You shouldn't have come here, be optimistic about your own people!" Parker's tone was quite unhappy.

The corner of Leonard's mouth twitched slightly, but he didn't gnaw, and the two of them dispersed silently.

The Spurs attacked, Parker dribbled the ball to the top of the arc, and the other Spurs scattered.Ginobili ran up to the pick-and-roll, but the pick-and-roll was false, but in fact he ran back to the basket with a feint and received a sling pass from Parker. Kobe reacted quickly enough and caught up in time. He had to pass the ball to Ah at the elbow again. Germany.

Kuzma did not lose his defensive position, and quickly stepped forward to make up the defense. Alder could only pass the ball back to Parker.At the same time, Leonard ran back from the right wing, rushed to the right 45 degrees to catch the ball with the help of Gasol's cover, and there was a big void in front of him.

The fans shouted loudly to remind, and Popovich also gestured and pointed out one after another.

Parker froze for a moment, then passed the ball stiffly.

Swish, Leonard made a hollow hit, and the point difference was only three points, and the ATT center once again rang out the cry of 'MVP'.

Kenny smiled: "Leonard performed so well in this game. If he came back earlier, the Spurs' record may be better. It is very likely that they will strive for No.4 after the Lakers, Rockets, and Warriors."

Barkley nodded: "Some time ago, there were rumors everywhere. Someone broke the news that the Spurs players held an internal meeting and begged Leonard to come back and lead the team to the playoffs, but Leonard chose to refuse. This lie is an exaggeration."

O'Neal snapped his fingers: "Yes, I also heard about it. At that time, Tony Parker claimed in an interview with reporters that his quadriceps injury was a hundred times worse than Leonard's, so Leonard is more Mentally he hasn't fully recovered."

...

While the three were talking nonsense, Tianyang easily broke through Parker, faced Leonard's defense, and assisted Tatum to hit a three-pointer.

Turning the Spurs to attack, Parker dribbled the ball to the top of the arc.

Ade stepped forward to dismantle, and immediately dismantled and went down after the block, received a pass from Parker, and backed Tianyang who changed defense.

The difference in height, weight, and strength between the two was too great, and Tianyang was pushed back again and again.

Kobe stepped forward to help defend, Alder immediately scored the ball, Ginobili received the ball, and Kurz immediately stepped forward to defend.

The basketball flew back into Parker's hands again, with no one in front of him, and Tatum slid forward to defend.

Ordinarily at this time, Parker should continue to pass the ball. Leonard has already set up his shooting position for three times, and the hand feels very hot, but Parker seems to think that he also has a chance, so he shot directly!

Clang, strike three points.

Kuzma picked up a long rebound and went off quickly. He played 2-on-1 against Leonard in the frontcourt with Tatum. After passing the ball twice in a row, he dunked on Leonard's head.

57 to 49, the Lakers led by 8 points, Popovich seemed to endure and endure, but he still couldn't resist calling a timeout.

...

During the timeout, Wharton still didn't say anything, but Tianyang excitedly pulled the Lakers generals and said: "I have thought of a way, as long as it can be implemented smoothly, plus a little luck, it can help us beat the Spurs in three quarters and achieve a quick victory." !"

Rondo was dumbfounded: "Didn't you say that this is a protracted battle?"

Tianyang nodded: "The plan can't keep up with the changes. Coach, it's like this..."

In a blink of an eye, the timeout ended and the game between the two teams continued.

On the Lakers side, the lineup changed, with Hart replacing Kobe at shooting guard and Randall replacing Lopez at center.

On the Spurs side, Murray replaced Parker, Bertans replaced Gasol, and Green replaced Ginobili.

Seeing Bertans on the court, Tianyang thought to himself, "God help me."

The Spurs attacked, Tianyang deliberately switched positions with Tatum, leaned close to Leonard and whispered BB.

"I feel worthless for you!"

"They have no respect for you!"

"You'll never be the boss here!"

"Come to Los Angeles, let's beat the Warriors together!"

"I'll bear the pressure, you have the privilege to pay attention, how about it?"

At first, Leonard ignored it completely. The other Lakers players defended very well. He couldn't catch the ball as if he was desperate.

Seeing Leonard's hesitant eyes, Tianyang continued to mutter.

"You don't have to force yourself!"

"You don't have to care what other people think!"

"You deserve to re-sign for a max salary!"

"The Spurs don't give it, we give it!"

"How about it?"

Leonard was restless when he heard the words, and when he received the pass, the attack time was running out, so he stepped back and shot!
Dang, hit the iron with a shot!

Randall grabbed the rebound against Bertans and landed a long pass to Hart.

Hart received the ball and quickly played with Kuzma and Tatum, forming a three-on-two advantage in the frontcourt, and scored an easy layup.

At this time, Tianyang was still whispering beside Leonard and Leonard.

"Look, how strict they are when you miss a shot!"

"But just now Parker also missed the shot!"

"That ball should be passed to you!"

"Are you absolutely fair?"

Leonard could bear it, and didn't respond a word. Instead, he rushed to the backcourt and asked for the ball.

Seeing this, Tianyang knew that the preliminary plan had been achieved, Leonard had lost his position and made a mistake in the attack selection, but it was not yet time to profit from it, the next step was to come hard, at least to lock Leonard in a row Germany for two rounds, otherwise as long as Leonard scores, the previous muttering will be useless at all.

After making up his mind, Tianyang went straight to Leonard and started to press forward.

At the same time, other Lakers players defended desperately, preventing other Spurs players from receiving the ball.

Leonard rushed to the top of the arc, looked up and looked around, but there was no good position, and immediately bent over and turned sideways, forcing his way into the sky.

Tianyang took a deep breath, stabilized his legs, and stepped close to Leonard to retreat inside.

The two walked to the right elbow area, Leonard made an emergency stop and made a shot, and Tianyang took off instantly to block the shot.

With a bang, the shot hit the iron, even if it failed to block the shot, the interference from Tianyang was big enough.

Randall caught the rebound and made a long pass to the three-point line. Kuzma took the ball across the center line and passed it to Tatum who followed up at the same time.Green made a close interception, but the basketball flew into Hart's hands.Hart made an emergency stop at 45 degrees and made a three-pointer.

Swish, the basketball went into the net hollow, and the Lakers led 62 to 49.

Popovich was pacing back and forth on the sidelines irritably. He really couldn't understand why both Parker and Leonard played a bit abnormally today. There were obviously better choices, but they seemed blind!
...

The Spurs attacked again, Tianyang continued to squat beside Leonard and whispered.In fact, in this situation, Leonard can protest to the referee, but he has never had much to say and is not willing to communicate.

Tatum's defense is very good, Murray is difficult to complete the organization, and can only be handed over to Leonard to attack.

Tianyang directly made a hard grab, and it was like a life-saving grab. Leonard's dribbling and ball control skills were relatively average. After a few struggles, he chose to lob a pass to the inside. When it came to basketball, the Lakers launched a fast break again.

This time, Tianyang received the ball from the left wing, got rid of Leonard with two consecutive turns and a large forward change, retreated beyond the three-point line, and flew to cover Leonard!
The basketball hit the board and rebounded into the net, and the Lakers led by 16 points!
Perhaps considering that two timeouts have been called, Popovich raised his hand and put it down again.

The Spurs attacked again under pressure, Murray lobbed a pass from the top of the arc, Alder caught the ball and hit Kuzma with his back, and missed the shot.

Randall got the rebound again, turned around and passed it to Tianyang, and the Lakers made another fast break.

Tianyang rushed all the way to the basket, circled around to avoid Leonard's defense, and passed the ball to Hart who had been ambushing in the corner.

Hart faced Green's defense and made another three-pointer.

Beep, the referee blows his whistle and the basketball 'bang bang bang' bounces back and forth and falls into the hoop.

In the TNT live broadcast room.

O'Neal looked puzzled: "Why didn't you pay attention, the Lakers led by 19 points?"

Kenny shook his head: "The Lakers are so lucky. They hit consecutive three-pointers when the Spurs missed consecutive shots!" '

Barkley sighed: "I must admit that Tianyang performed better on the defensive end in this half of the game!"

...

Amidst the boos of the fans, Hart hit an extra penalty, and the Lakers led by 20 points!
The Spurs team was full of fighting spirit, and the half game was over in a blink of an eye.

Back in the second half, the Lakers prepared all kinds of ideas to deal with the Spurs' counterattack, but Popovich actually let Parker and Leonard sit on the bench.Under such circumstances, no matter how fierce the Spurs fight, it will not work.

In the end, the Lakers defeated the Spurs 133 to 116.

After the game, Bill Simmons updated his blog, saying that SkyOcean was better than Leonard in half-court defense, so the duel between the two was not decided. But this time, no one paid any attention to his sophistry.

Surprisingly, WOJ broke the news in the early hours of the morning and claimed that after the first battle with the Lakers, there was a serious conflict in the Spurs locker room. Leonard and Parker quarreled, and Popovich could not maintain the situation!
After WOJ, Uncle Leonard tweeted that he might consider applying for a trade!

This news detonated the NBA circle!

Netizens joked: "The Lakers completely beat the Spurs!"

　The plot required, so I wrote a little more, which was delayed.
