Chapter 135
Staples Center.
The atmosphere in the entire arena instantly rose, including in the square outside the arena, where fans who had not bought tickets gathered together and cheered.
You can feel the atmosphere here just a few streets away
"This is called a quality game. Now if one team makes a mistake, it will be very dangerous!"
"Su Hao hit them with the ball!"
"Give them a fight!"
The fans chanted.
The score at this time came to [Lakers 10:11 Spurs].
The Spurs had the ball.
Parker advanced with the ball. The speed of"F Country Sports Car" has obviously dropped a lot from its peak. It can also be said that Su Hao's defensive pace is faster.
Now Parker can no longer beat Su Hao with speed alone.
Parker rushed to the penalty area and tried to challenge Su Hao. Suddenly, it felt like he hit a wall, and Parker was bounced away by Su Hao.
"What kind of power is this that I don’t have any advantage over?
He is indeed young and energetic."
Parker was sighing at Su Hao's physical fitness while dribbling back.
"Have you ever felt the power of Malone? They say we should keep pace with the times, but I want to go against the tide and be a point guard who goes against the times.
The guidance of the predecessors is also responsible for the success of the latter."
Su Hao continued to be defensive, and Parker couldn't do anything with him at the moment. He continued to pass the ball to Leonard.
In the confrontation with Clarkson in the high position on the right, Clarkson also used his strongest defense to block Leonard's position.
Little did he know that Danny Green had used Ade's cover to get to the bottom corner.
Leonard made an accurate pass, and shooter Danny Green shot as soon as he received the ball.
"Swish……"
The first three-pointer of the game.
As one of the few 3D players in the league, Danny Green's offense and defense are also quite good, and the three-pointer is also one of his weapons.
In turn, Kobe's chasing three-pointer faced Danny Green and made another shot.
"Answer ball! Kobe successfully responded with a three-pointer!"
"The team basketball displayed by the Spurs can be said to be flawless in offense because they are so skilled in passing the ball."
Duncan in the interior relied on his skill of rebounding to keep his competition in the interior stable.
Jokic raised his hands high in the interior, but he couldn't stop Duncan from steadily rebounding and scoring at a 45-degree angle.
Su Hao returned, accelerated on the left with a scissor step, passed Parker like lightning, and broke into the interior again.
Ade quickly stepped up to block Su Hao's offensive route.
Su Hao did not stop and continued to break through.
Ade had already stepped up and prepared for a fierce confrontation with Su Hao.
At the moment when he was about to confront Ade fiercely, Su Hao turned directly at Parker and shot the ball into the goal with his right hand.
Ade also failed to defend Su Hao's shot due to inertia.
"This... this is exactly the same as my turnaround.��"
Parker said with emotion at the free throw line.
After Su Hao heard it, he also thought in his heart: 'This is your trick. It's really embarrassing to use your trick in front of you...'
Su Hao turned back to defense handsomely.
The atmosphere on the scene was still hot. The offensive and defensive links of the two teams caused the score to remain close.
The starting performances of both sides were very exciting at the beginning.
After playing for most of the quarter, the team basketball Spurs called a timeout for substitutions.
Ginobili, Mills, and the"all-purpose" Dio came on the court, and Parker, Green, and Duncan were replaced
"As expected of the Spurs' style, but they play team basketball in a chain, and I wonder what tricks they will come up with next."
Su Hao thought.
The Lakers also replaced Kobe, and Lou Williams took over to let Kobe rest, and led the substitute lineup at the beginning of the second quarter.
After the timeout, the game continued.
Mills passed the ball to Ginobili, the demon sword at the top of the arc on the right.
Then he passed the ball to Ade who came out of the penalty area.
Ade dribbled against Randle and came to the free throw line.
Ginobili ran and passed the ball to the right.
Ginobili accelerated on the right and faked it, then dribbled back to open up space. He changed direction in front of his body, and although the speed was much slower, the technique of shaking people remained unchanged.
He passed Lou Williams in one step, broke into the inside, and passed the ball to Ade who followed behind him.
He succeeded in a two-handed dunk under the basket.
"This is called cooperation! The Lakers still need to learn more about this.
Players like Lou Williams, Clarkson, and Nick Young, who rush into the paint and make layups without thinking, are easily disturbed.���It is more stable to attract defense like this and let teammates behind you finish the game."
O'Neal is very familiar with this kind of offense.
The Spurs' defense also threw the Lakers off balance.
Leonard continued to steal the ball from Clarkson and scored on a defensive counterattack.
The second-year player Randle and the rookie Jokic also showed inertia in defense for a while, and were continuously eaten up by Ade and Dio.
The Lakers relied solely on Su Hao's inside impact to maintain the score difference, and the confusion of his teammates also affected Su Hao.
Su Hao is now completely in a double-teamed state, and his chances of shooting are greatly reduced.
The last score of Su Hao in the first quarter was when he broke into the inside and performed a Wade signature phantom step against Ginobili.
He completely shook Ginobili away and scored a layup.
"Isn’t this my European Bubu? How many skills does Su Hao have? Parker's turn and my European step have all been learned!"
Ginobili shouted to Parker on the bench.
"Remember, the latecomers are better than the latecomers! Thank you for teaching me these skills!"
Su Hao replied with a smile.
Although the Spurs replaced the substitutes, their fierce performance was not inferior to the starters.
"The Spurs' team basketball is also implemented to the end. If they fail to master the system, they seem to be unable to integrate into this team?
The performance of the substitutes was not inferior to that of the starters.
In Popovich's view, what he demonstrates is his team role and his ability to unleash all the individual abilities of each player.
But it's hard for other teams to follow suit unless they have Popovich."
O'Neal has a lot of feelings for Popovich.
The famous"shark-cutting tactic" was driven by Popovich, which made O'Neal very prejudiced against Popovich.
Smith later added:" Yes, this is the reason why the Spurs are stable, and the bench gangsters are also one of the Spurs' secret weapons."
After the first quarter, [Lakers 25:30 Spurs].
The Spurs won by 5 points. The Lakers were a little confused by the Spurs' bench and such good cooperation.
The players from both sides returned to the bench for a while. rest
"The Spurs are really a tough opponent. It seems that the gap between me and Popovich is not even a tiny bit.……"
Coach Scott reflected, dragging his chin.
Of course, he also has certain problems with the deployment of his lineup.
There are also few defensive heroes, and the offensive lineup formed cannot break through the Spurs' defensive cage.
Popovich stood on the other side of the bench holding a tactical board and looked at Scott, showing a smile.
This smile hides a knife
"The cunning Spurs, I have a feeling that in the early second quarter of the substitute battle, the Spurs will play another offensive wave.
The bench bandits are the key to victory."
