I'm here, I'm running the NBA right now

141 Popovich: Los Angeles is shameless, they are cheating

But the Spurs want to stop the Lakers?

It doesn't mean that you can stop it if you block it.

At least Popovich can't think of a way yet.

Without Liu Xing, the Lakers are still in the first round of the playoffs, vulnerable.

But Kobe and Liu Xing play together. This powerful combination of one inside and one outside is at the top level of the league in both offense and defense.

In the new season, it is not without reason that the Lakers can start their 20-game winning streak.

They form a team to play together, how do other teams play?

This year, the Spurs lineup is healthy. This is a season they are committed to competing for the championship, but there is such a sister, not to mention the Celtics in the Eastern Conference. Against the Los Angeles Lakers, Popovich also feels that he has won in a 7-game 4-win system.

He was a little discouraged, looked at the Lakers bench, or rather, at the Zen master, and said viciously: "May'er, life is really good~"

Looking at Liu Xing and Kobe, Popovich was full of envy and hatred.

Popovich called a 2-minute timeout and didn't arrange tactics. In the last 30 seconds, suddenly, the painting style changed, no longer depressed, clapped his hands, and emphasized with all the Spurs, "The opponent is very good. Strong, I underestimated the opponent, this is my problem. I'm sorry."

"But, here is our home stadium, and there are 18000 fans at the AT&T Center here cheering for you. We will fight for them."

"Today, we are the ones leading the way. Keep up your spirits, hold on to the victory, and defend the dignity of our home court."

While talking, Popovich circled Liu Xing's name with a red whiteboard marker on the tactical board. Finally, he specifically mentioned: "Teaming, don't give him any chance to catch the ball, Not even once."

After hearing Popovich's last tactic, the Spurs' generals, led by Duncan, all had expressions of shock on their faces.

Duncan thought he heard it wrong, he said, "Let Kobe go, double-team Liu Xing???" In a team with Kobe and teammates with peak Kobe, you don't choose to double-team Kobe, but a rookie.

This is a fantasy in today's NBA.

Do you believe it?

You must know that Kobe is now the top card in the NBA, and the NBA's facade is in the way.

And Liu Xing is just a first-year rookie.

Now the legendary coach Popovich actually gave up double-teaming Kobe at a critical moment in the game, and chose to double-team a first-year rookie.

Who can believe this?

"Is there any problem?" Popovich gave Duncan a look, and it was a matter of course.

I heard that even Duncan, nicknamed the Stone Buddha, had quakes in his pupils, but he didn't say anything. In the Spurs, Popovich's words are imperial edicts, and he always says what he says.

"Beep beep beep~~~" The long whistle sounded, the timeout ended and the game continued.

At 2 minutes and 36 seconds, 99-104, the Lakers trailed by 5 points and the Spurs had the ball.

Back from the timeout, the Spurs played what they are best at.Parker breaks through, points out, Ginobili breaks, Ginobili breaks, and there is no chance.

The ball was given to Leopard in the bottom corner. This is Leopard's sweet spot. On the court, Leopard is responsible for defense and 3 points from the corner. This is his opportunity.

Opportunities arise.

Leopard Print was about to make a shot, but Liu Xing, the insider, came in stride. Liu Xing was really scared. He hesitated for a moment, and the opportunity was lost, so he could only pass the ball.

The ball is passed.

But the 24-second attack time is gone.

The Spurs made another wave of offensive 24-second violations.

Lakers ball rights.

Popovich on the sidelines stomped his feet angrily. He chased after the leopard print and cursed, "That's your point, why don't you shoot, why not?"

"What are you hesitating for? What are you hesitating for?"

Leopard Print raised his hand, signaling his.The corners of his mouth were still twitching. He wanted to say something, but he couldn't say it. Besides, he knew that Popovich never liked to listen to excuses, anything.

He can't say, be afraid of Liu Xing.

Lakers ball rights.

According to the original plan, the Spurs double-teamed Liu Xing.

Liu Xing never thought of this change of tactics against the Spurs.

Is Popovich so crazy?

This is a team with Kobe, and Kobe just made a 3-pointer just now, and it feels hot.

And Kobe is not one of the best players in the league today who are good at hitting key shots.

This season, in the last 5 minutes, within 5 points, Kobe averaged 7.8 points per game, ranking first in the NBA today.

No.2 is Cavalier James, averaging 4.6 points per game. James can't even see Kobe's car taillights.

Popovich's change of formation, the Zen master also looked stupid, they actually released Kobe and double-teamed Liu Xing?

Do you want to be so crazy.

Kobe felt crazy too.

Also felt disrespected.

However, it was also easier than ever, which was exactly what he wanted.

Once upon a time, Kobe could easily one-on-one, anyway, in the past few years, it was almost non-existent.

Opponents always double-teamed him unscrupulously.

In order to defend him, he devoted all his defensive resources to double-teaming, 3-man double-teaming, 4-man double-teaming, and even so much that a team double-teamed him in order to limit him.

Kobe has never enjoyed such a relaxed and comfortable environment since the sharks traveled east.

This will, because of Liu Xing's existence, Kobe has enjoyed it.

Kobe also knew that his helper was here.

Kobe held the ball and played Leopard one-on-one.

Leopard is a member of the defensive first team.

But even so, if one-on-one, without double-teaming, it is difficult for Leopard to restrict Kobe. No, it should be said that one-on-one Kobe is unstoppable.

Kobe started his performance at the top of the 3-point arc, facing the leopard print, shaking his shoulders back and forth continuously.

Kobe's feints were so fake that the leopard tattooed body instinctively shifted the center of gravity to the right.

It was this moment, a moment, that was enough for Kobe, suddenly dribbled the ball and rushed to the left, Kobe's first step was very fast, as fast as lightning.

Leopard print

Before I figured out what was going on, I was already left behind.

One step past the leopard print, Kobe made an emergency stop and rose from the ground, the basketball rolled out from the tip of Kobe's index finger, raised the knife in his hand and fell, the basketball pierced his heart into the net, and the ball went in with a "shua~~~".

101-104

The ATT Arena was silent, and the hearts of the San Antonio Spurs fans were pierced into the heart like a sharp stake, and they couldn't breathe due to the pain.

Although, there are more than 2 minutes before the end of the game, the Spurs still hold a 3-point lead and still have the ball.

But the dominance shown by the Lakers in the past 3 minutes caused them to collapse.

The inside line dominated by Liu Xing is impenetrable, stronger than a big killer like Duncan, and cannot attack the city.

Not to mention Kobe, the outside line has no solution to single thugs, whoever comes and who falls.

The dominance shown by this combination is daunting.

San Antonio Spurs fans dream back to an era dominated by the fear of the OK duo.

Although Liu Xing is just a rookie, it is still too early to compare him with O'Neal, but now Liu Xing's dominance in the arena is definitely at the O'Neal level.

The static talent is first-class, the dynamic talent is first-class, and the figure looks like a bamboo pole, but what is hidden in this figure is actually O'Neill.

It's hard not to be shocked by Spurs fans.
