I'm really good at shooting.

The Nuggets beat the Clippers 109 to 91, perhaps stimulated by the fans "LeBron needs help". In this game, Terry and Nene on the bench stood up. The former made 5 three-pointers and scored 21 points , Nene also contributed an excellent double-double of 19 points and 11 rebounds off the bench, becoming James' right-hand man;

After two games, most of the series can already see some clues.

Of course, it is only the majority. There are still a lot of uncertainties in the tied groups, the Heat and Magic, the Mavericks and Warriors, and the Lakers and Spurs.

It is precisely because of this that the day when the three groups of matches are held at the same time has also attracted the attention of fans.

The Magic beat the Heat 121 to 115 in an away game. In this game, the two sides fought against each other. Arenas showed his might and scored 42 points to surprise the league.

And after the game, Arenas gave himself a new nickname when facing the media: General!

The nickname was derived from the similarity in pronunciation of his initials, Gilbert Arenas, to the general "genera".

Since Avery Johnson's nickname was "Little General," he made himself big.

This nickname also corresponds to the previous "Little Sun Hao", and it also has the meaning of growing up from childhood to adulthood.

This nickname was also hailed by fans after the game.

Of course, the performance of Arenas and the Magic is more like a warm-up, and the fans really pay attention to the Lakers and Horses.

The two teams moved to San Antonio for Game [-].

The ATT arena was full of attendance, and the fans in San Antonio were full of confidence after winning a victory in the game.

In recent years, the Spurs were either blocked by the Mavericks or the Lakers from the Finals.

If they can surpass the Lakers this year, then they have a good chance of winning... the second championship in team history.

The next two home games are at the Spurs' home court, and it is foreseeable that the Lakers will still be unable to guard Duncan, so the possibility of this is not small.

The scene entered the opening ceremony, and the two teams started to play one after another.

Spurs: Parker, Ginobili, Bowen, Duncan, Nesterovic;

Lakers: Payton, Sun Hao, Ariza, Mourning, O'Neal;

When the Lakers started, Popovich was obviously taken aback by the Spurs.

He had no idea that Phil Jackson would play Twin Towers!

The twin towers are the same as the double point guards. Not to mention this era, not many people used them in the 90s. This extreme adjustment caught him off guard.

The game started quickly, with Duncan jumping for the Spurs' first chance.

Parker took the ball upfield and lobbed it low to Duncan as he did in the previous game.

Popovich didn't adjust the Spurs' offensive tactics, or it can be said that he didn't have time to adjust in a hurry, so he could only let Duncan try the water first.

It was O'Neal who defended Duncan.

Jackson's arrangement of the twin towers is not a dead match. Using Mourning to guard the basket can make full use of the latter's defensive mobility.

Duncan hit O'Neal with his back, turning around flexibly and turning back.

However, Mourning's defense quickly came up.

Faced with the double-teaming of two top insiders, Duncan turned towards the free throw line and hooked his hand and missed the basket.

Mourning has quick eyes and quick hands to protect the defensive rebound.In the first round, the Lakers Twin Towers showed excellent defensive ability and blocked Duncan's offense.

However, like the training game, without Walker on the court, the two insiders couldn't keep up with the fast break. Payton got the ball and advanced to the frontcourt to play positions.

Sun Hao ran without the ball. Although Mourning's pick-and-roll was not as good as Malone's last season, he was solid and much better than Walker's pick-and-roll.

Payton's pass was delivered in time, and Sun Hao also scored a three-pointer with a knife in his hand.

"Shh!"

0 is better than 3!

The Lakers come out on top!

The Spurs continued to feed Duncan.

Duncan was prepared for Mourning's double-team this time, and when he turned around, he gave the ball to Nesterovic inside.

Nesterovic takes the ball and dribbles for a dunk.

But the moment he pulled it up to dunk, what greeted him was not an empty basket, but Mourning's block!

Mourning's ferocious expression seemed to be saying: I can't cover Duncan, and I can't cover you? !

Nesterovic's dunk was taken away, the Spurs sent a sideline ball, Ginobili's outside shot hit the frame, Mourning stuck Duncan, and O'Neal grabbed the defensive rebound with a long arm.

The Spurs' two consecutive offenses in the opening game were initiated by Duncan, but the two consecutive offenses failed!

The fans at the scene were restless. The Lakers' twin towers are too deterrent on the defensive end!

But what made them even more worried was the next round. Mourning's pick-and-roll blocked Ginobili to death, Duncan made a thorough dive, and Sun Hao tricked Duncan into speeding up to the inside after a fake shot.

O'Neal stuck Nesterovic in the paint, and Sun Hao jumped up, smashing the ball into the basket with a tomahawk dunk.

"Oh!"

The huge muffled sound was transmitted to the ears of the fans through the loudspeaker, as if something had hit their hearts hard.

The two towers of the Lakers guarded the inside line impenetrably, and Sun Hao started scoring explosively again. This is a two-pronged approach, hitting Huanglong directly!

Of course, the worst thing is Popovich on the sidelines. He has been meditating on his chin, but he has never had any good countermeasures.

Because once Duncan's inside attack is given up, the Spurs will give up their biggest advantage.

Ginobili and Parker on the outside alone are not enough to fight against the Lakers with both Sun Hao and O'Neal!

But the twin towers in front of him cannot be broken by Duncan alone.

Duncan then hit O'Neal from the free throw line. His shot into the interior was interfered by O'Neal and missed, but he used his quick reaction ability to make a tip-up.

He successfully made a tip-up, but Mourning's reaction was also quick, and the interference destroyed his tip-up!

And before he could jump up again, the belated O'Neal had already jumped up and grabbed the defensive rebound!

Two fists, hard to beat four hands!

His three consecutive inside storms all came back in vain!

Popovich finally stood up at this time and made a new tactical gesture to the Spurs.

Sun Hao double-teamed the inside line O'Neal, and O'Neal violently abused the basket.

Although the playing time was forced to be shortened, when he was on the court, O'Neal was still the invincible shark on the offensive end!

0 is better than 7!

The Lakers are off to a fantastic start.

Parker advanced to the frontcourt again, Duncan changed to the free throw line to respond, and Parker came over with a hand-to-hand to catch a mid-range shot.

Phil Jackson, who was sitting on the sidelines watching this round, was overjoyed.

Because this means that Popovich gave up Duncan's inside offense!

Coupled with the expansion defensive tactics that the Lakers have been implementing tonight, this means that the Spurs' offense can only focus on the mid-range!

Question, the Spurs will be killed by Kobe's mid-range, so can the Spurs kill the Lakers at the mid-range?

Answer: No.

Or more precisely, not now.

The Spurs in history relied on Duncan's inside deterrence in the early stage, and relied on "hammer tactics" to play inside and outside tactics in the later stage.

What Duncan has used for 20 years means that their tactics are basically based on Duncan's deterrence in the interior.

Both Parker and Ginobili's breakthroughs are lethal, but their mid-range is not up to Kobe's "killing" level.

So it is obviously a bit unrealistic to defeat the Lakers of Sun Hao and O'Neal by mid-range.

Facts have also proved this to be the case. Although Popovich replaced Ginobili early in the playoffs to chase points on the bench as in last season's playoffs, it did have an effect, but it couldn't hold back the Lakers' twin towers in the starting period. Advantage.

After the game, the Lakers defeated the Spurs 97 to 87, rewriting the big score to 2 to 1!

Duncan played a rare sluggish game for the Spurs, scoring only 17 points and 8 rebounds.

湖人队那边，奥尼尔17分15板3盖帽，莫宁9分11板3盖帽。

The Twin Towers didn't score much together, but they sent out 26 boards and 6 blocks!And a successful defense that cannot be reflected in a large amount of data!

Sun Hao scored 42 points and 6 assists on the offensive end.

But it's also 42 points, and the expressions of the fans are completely different from seeing Arenas score 42 points.

There is no other reason, because in their opinion, Sun Hao's scoring is just a little effort.

After the game, Popovich looked very frustrated, shaking his head constantly.

In stark contrast, Sun Hao and O'Neill bragged at Mourning in the post-match press conference.

What "you can call me Bradley, because with Alonzo by my side I don't have to work hard to force the inside, just hook the hook", "Mourning is simply the scariest blocker on the planet machines" and the like.

If Mourning were on the scene, this tough guy would probably blush.

After the press conference, Sun Hao and O'Neal went to the locker room to watch the live broadcast of the Warriors and Mavericks game.

Not just because of the bet between the two of them, but they really care about the third game between the Warriors and the Mavericks now.

Just like their game, after a big tie, the third game will be the game that determines the "potential" of the entire series.

This is why Popovich will be so frustrated after the game.

This "potential" has reached the Warriors and Lone Rangers, and it is likely to determine whether there will be a black eight in this year's playoffs!

Chapter 454 Black Eight!

The process and results of the game were surprising.

诺维茨基今晚的手感还不错，17投8中拿了20分，但是科比在准了两场之后手感不佳26投仅9中得27分。

Although the Warriors' overall defense is poor, their individual defense ability is good.

Against Kobe, the old Nelson also used the wheel battle, Richardson, Baron Davis, and Matt Barnes took turns.

Kobe had penetrated such a defense in the first two games, but his physical energy was also exhausted, and his hand feeling dropped to this night.

As a result, the Mavericks lost every quarter, and finally lost by a big score of 93 to 109.

"Are they really going to be hacked?"

After reading it, O'Neill was a little confused.

Kobe Bryantowitzki ah!

In fact, not to mention O'Neill, Sun Hao was also a little confused.

But after thinking about the game that just ended, he knew where the problem was.

The deadliest thing is the level gap between the two coaches.

This is the third game, and I haven't seen how Johnson is pressing the rhythm, and even let Nowitzki play center most of the time.

Now it seems that Johnson's coaching level is really problematic.

Of course, there is also his stubborn character, which is probably the reason why the Mavericks' tactics remain unchanged.

Not to mention that the old Nelson had a good taste for Johnson.

Generally, when an apprentice meets a master, there are two endings, the blue is better than the blue, or there is no power to fight back.

Johnson clearly belongs to the latter.

Looking back, it was a good thing that Sun Hao was traded away by the Mavericks.

Secondly, it is the team's restraint problem.

To deal with running and bombing teams, there are only two ways to win them, either through excellent position defense and the success rate of position offense to suppress the rhythm; or play a better offense than them and win them with offense.

The Mavericks have been trying the first one, and they tried it three times, only the second one.

The Warriors' defense is really shitty, but their offense is also really good.

Moreover, Nowitzki is not O'Neal, and it is difficult to guarantee the success rate of positional warfare without stable inside scoring.

Or in other words, both Nowitzki and Kobe are the masters of shooting style of play. Once they fail to make a shot or grab an offensive rebound, they will immediately be counterattacked by the Warriors.
