Coming to this Lakers team, Ke Yan has improved this Lakers team in many ways.He activated Butler, making it a stable second scoring point around Kobe; he advocated the introduction of Anderson, who strengthened the team's weakest rebound; The best balance has been achieved between driving the team.

But no matter how good he is, what can't be changed is the problem of the Lakers' lineup structure. The interior lacks an offensive core, and Odom can only launch an offense from the outside or the free throw line.

The team's interior defense is also weak. Except for the wheel battle + shark-slashing tactics that killed O'Neal as a bright spot, other All-Star-level insiders can always play data that exceeds the season average against the Lakers.

And Duncan faced in this game is more terrifying than Gasol, O'Neal, and Stoudemire!This made Ke Yan very troubled in the formation of troops.

In addition to the extremely solid starting four, the Spurs also sat on the bench and injected players such as Brent Barry, Robert Hawley, Devin Brown, Udrih, etc. These people can not only help the main players very well Excessive, and at the same time able to step up in time when the main players have problems, Popovich's construction of the bench lineup is also top in the league.

Playing against the Wizards can use a small lineup to catch the opponent by surprise. Against the Spurs, Ke Yan did not dare to die, and honestly put Diop in the starting lineup, at least to limit Duncan's low singles.

In the name of a power forward, he acts as a center forward.Duncan won the jump ball, but facing the flying basketball, Parker didn't concentrate. In other words, he hadn't entered the game state at the beginning of the game, and he was not stable in the backcourt. Easy layup.

Popovich was expressionless on the sidelines, the more he was like this, the more nervous Parker was!

The Spurs served the ball, and the Lakers pressed hard. The aggressive defensive posture made Parker step on the point to pass the halftime.Ke Yan's idea is to put enough pressure on the Spurs from the beginning, so that they don't have time to work hard, and use this method to speed up the Spurs and leave their comfortable game rhythm.

After a few passes, Ginobili found an opening, a touchdown pass to Parker, who was running back along the baseline, and the latter threw the ball into the basket with a backhand. very easy.

The strength of the Spurs is not only due to Duncan, and Duncan's strength is not limited to singles ability. Looking back, Duncan was in place on the defensive end, interfered with Butler's layup, and steadily took off the rebound. Parker, the small sports car rushed all the way to the frontcourt. After finding no chance, he circled around and dribbled out again. He handed the ball to Ginobili. He caught the ball in one step and faced Diop, without giving the latter a chance to take off and put the ball directly into the basket!

The Lakers attacked. After a few passes, Kobe rushed inside, attracted the defense of the two, bounced off the ground and handed over to Odom next to him. The latter jumped up and shot without hesitation.

A hand flew towards him, interfering with Odom's shot. Ginobili, who retreated to the basket, blocked Kobe behind him, accepted the offensive rebound, and made a gesture to control the rhythm of the game.

After Ginobili passed halftime, Duncan pulled to the wing to set him a pick-and-roll. After Ginobili got rid of Kobe's defense, he came to the right side alone, watching Odom, who was supplementing the defense, swayed and changed direction. When he broke into the inside line and stepped into the three-second zone, he suddenly jumped up and stayed in the air for a while. When Diop jumped up to block the inside line and fell down, he flicked the basketball in his hand and wiped the board. basket.

Although there is no strong explosive power and the visual effect is not as explosive as Wade's, Ginobili's breakthrough after the pick-and-roll is still sharp. His joints seem to be able to twist at will, allowing him to bypass the defender from either side, and softly. The touch allows him to send the ball to the basket in various body postures.

Ginobili played this ball very beautifully, and he is also the only watcher in the strict Spurs!

The Lakers attacked, and all players opened up. Kobe singled Manu Ginobili in the low post. After two tops, he turned over and made a jumper. Parker has run ahead of everyone, catches the ball and scores an easy layup. (2:8)

The Spurs' combination of fast and slow offense took the lead at the beginning of the game.

Ke Yan did not call a timeout. After the opening, the Lakers basically played according to their own tactics on the offensive end. In this case, he chose to trust the players' ability to adjust.

Kobe received the ball from the wing, facing Bowen's defense, turned sideways and rushed to the opponent's right. Bowen got stuck in his body for the first time, Kobe turned around immediately, then jumped up, raised his hand and shot, the ball was almost gone Reaching the basket without an arc.

"Flop!" The ball passed through the net with strong friction and made a hasty sound.

In this game, the Lakers need Kobe's singles to change the Spurs' defensive formation!

The Spurs attacked. Parker and Duncan played a pick-and-roll. Atkins was firmly blocked by Duncan. Diop followed Ke Yan's arrangement and stepped back to give Parker a two-point shot. Parker, who has always been unstable in long shots, made a hit. . (4:10)

Once Parker makes a shot, he can indeed "kill", but with only such defensive resources in hand, Ke Yan can only choose the lesser of two evils. If Parker is allowed to break into the basket, the possibility of losing points is even greater!

After the opening game, Parker's shooting touch was excellent, helping the Spurs to easily open the point difference to double digits. This is because Duncan did not attack in the low post.

The Lakers had a hard time coping, relying on Kobe to play the entire first quarter and hit a three-pointer at the buzzer at the last moment, barely narrowing the point difference to 9 points. (22:31)

During the break between quarters, Ke Yan criticized Odom for his performance in the first quarter. Diop took on the task of defending Duncan and was mainly responsible for dealing with Nesterovic on the defensive end. Odom should have enough energy to devote On the offensive end, not only did he not score a single point, but he only made two shots. This is obviously a bit of a disappointment to his "second in command" position!

After being scolded by Ke Yan, Odom was brave in the second quarter. He first gave Ginobili a big hat on the defensive end, then hit a three-pointer at the top of the arc, and then pulled to the free throw line to hit a shot. , Odom made consecutive mid-range and long-range hits, which once stopped the Spurs and forced the Spurs to change their defensive formation.

Among the two top defensive teams in the league, the Pistons' defense is even more taboo against breakthrough freaks like Wade and James, while the Spurs' system has nothing to do with superstars who are good at shooting.Odom suddenly switched states, and after forming an echo with Kobe, the Lakers' offense immediately came alive.

Popovich's adjustment was also very timely. Robert Horry came on the field and replaced Nesterovich. Duncan went directly to the center position.The existence of Horry opened up the defensive formation of the Lakers. Duncan took Diop alone in the interior, not simply relying on strength to harden the top, but relying on his footsteps to shake Diop's big hand and score easily.

A sports car in good times is a Buddha in adversity.The Lakers started to fight back, and Duncan stepped forward immediately.
