NBA bench saves national team

A well-known domestic commentator in Huaxia once said that with Ginobili's strength, he would be an absolute ace player in a weak team.

And there is still the strength to bring this weak team into the playoffs.

It is such a superstar player who has won any player in the league, but is willing to play as a substitute for the Spurs.

This has to say that Popovich's charm is great.

Of course, Ginobili also achieved great success as a substitute. He has won two championships with the Spurs so far.

The Spurs' offensive link.

Ginobili held the ball at the top of the arc, changed directions continuously, and broke through from the right, easily throwing away Louis Williams who was defending him.

Williams' defense hasn't really stood out.

Facing a breakthrough master like Ginobili, it is naturally difficult to parry.

Breaking through the penalty area, Dayao immediately made up defense for a layup, but the speed was too slow to keep up with Ginobili's footsteps.

Ginobili had already completed a layup before the supplementary defense was in place.

Swish.

Easy to basket.

Lakers offense.

Jrue Holiday dribbled the ball through the half court and passed the basketball to Williams, who signaled for his teammates to pull away, and then slammed Ginobili.

His breakthrough is not very sharp, nor is his speed very fast, it is entirely dependent on rhythm.

After taking a step away from Ginobili, he suddenly stopped and retreated for a jumper.

Swish.

Hollow into the net.

Cheers immediately erupted from the scene.

This is a very beautiful return shot.

The Spurs attack.

It was Ginobili again, who dribbled the ball for half court and broke into the penalty area again.

This time he attracted three double-teams.

After observing the changes in the Lakers' defense, Ginobili did not attack again, but distributed the basketball.

Danny Green, who was ambushing in the bottom corner, received the basketball and raised his hand to shoot a three-pointer.

The basketball arced high.

Swish.

Hollow into the net.

Danny Green also made an ok gesture after scoring a goal, with absolute confidence on his face.

As a second-round pick, he was able to grow into the absolute starter of the Spurs step by step. Danny Green's growth has also experienced sadness.

He was even sent to the Development League for two seasons, and didn't even get playing time with the Spurs in the first few years of his career.

But with his own efforts, he has grown step by step, focusing on improving himself in three-pointers and defense.

Talent is not enough, work hard to make up.

Finally, the emperor pays off.

Danny Green's hard work and growth has been recognized by Popovich.

After becoming the starting lineup, Danny Green's performance has also become more and more stable. He is not only the team's perimeter defensive leader, but also the team's most accurate three-pointer.

It was already his second three-pointer in the game just now.

The Lakers offensive round.

It was still Louis Williams' strong attack, but unfortunately it missed.

The basketball bounced out of the basket.

The Spurs' substitute center grabbed the rebound, and then passed the basketball to Ginobili. The latter dribbled the ball quickly across the half court, and then faced the double-team defense of the two, and used his signature stunt to break through in a snake shape. After passing two people in a row, he rushed to the penalty area and made an easy layup.

In less than 2 minutes, Ginobili's team played a 7:2 spurt, narrowing the point difference to 4 points.

The big screen shot of the scene was given to Steve Kerr sitting on the bench for the first time.

"Interesting! This pair of mentors and apprentices are also secretly competing! I don't know if Cole is in a hurry now. Just now, he was leading by 9 points, and now it is back to 4 points."

Mike Breen said with a smile.

"Although Cole is just a rookie, I have to say that he has absorbed the coaching experience of the two legendary head coaches Popovich and Phil Jackson, and he has performed very well this season."

Smith also said, expressing his approval of Cole.

It can only be said that the Lakers' vision is really good...

on the field.

The Lakers offensive round.

After Jrue Holiday dribbled the basketball across half court, instead of passing it to Williams, he broke through to the penalty area to complete an emergency stop jump ball.

Swish.

Hollow into the net.

The point difference returned to 6 points again.

The Spurs offensive round.

It was still Ginobili, who dribbled the ball into the penalty area and got it in the hands of Danny Green, who made another three-pointer.

The performance is very stable.

A player of Green's type rarely makes mistakes on the court.

Lakers here.

Zhu Holiday passed the basketball to Dayao, who made an easy hook.

The two sides entered into a stalemate again.

Until the second half of the second quarter.

The head coaches of both sides began to make substitution adjustments, removing the substitutes and replacing them with the starting lineup.

The competition has become more intense.

Qin Feng and Kobe took turns attacking from the perimeter, making the Spurs miserable.

Even with Leonard and Danny Green, two defensive champions, they still can't stop the attack of the Lakers' double stars.

But the Lakers also can't guard against Grandpa Duncan.

After all, the position configuration of power forwards is too weak, and they will be targeted when they encounter a team with the league's top power forwards. As the league's number one power forward, Duncan's strength is historically top on both offensive and defensive ends.

The two sides come and go, and they are on par for a while.

Halftime is over.

60: 65.

The Lakers lead by only 5 points.

Duncan's strong inside line prevented the Lakers' double stars from pulling the score apart.

"It has to be Duncan! He directly blasted the Lakers' penalty area, and he is indeed recognized as the number one power forward in NBA history!"

Mike Brin said with some excitement.

"Yeah! Duncan is really too strong, but even though he played so strongly, the Spurs are still behind the score. Looking at the first half of the game, it can be seen that the Lakers have always firmly controlled the game."

"Wonder if the Spurs had a chance to turn it over in the second half."

Smith also shook his head.

It is not only lamenting Duncan's power, but also marveling at the strength of the Lakers.

"I hope the second half of the game can be as exciting. According to the experience of watching the Lakers in the past, Qin Feng will work hard to close the game in the third quarter."

Mike Brin said, with amazement in his tone.

This Chinese player is like a robot, and there is an offensive button, once pressed, it becomes unstoppable.

outrageous.

......

The long intermission is over.

The second half of the game begins.

The Lakers attack.

After halftime, Qin Feng dribbled the ball against Leonard's defense and directly shot a three-pointer.

The basketball arced high.

Swish.

Hollow into the net.

"Here we come! Qin Feng hit a three-pointer in less than 8 seconds of the second half."

"This familiar feeling, is it going to take over the game?"

Mike Brin said excitedly, his eyes fixed on Qin Feng.

"The electric button is pressed again!"
