Chapter 167: It's hard to stand alone
The next time Daniels attacked, Daniels didn't dare to pass the ball at will, he honestly stuffed the ball into Duncan's hands, and resolutely implemented the inside tactics deployed by Zhuge Vic's old coach. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The reason for this is simple, now it is Chauncey who has come to defend him, and Shaw has gone to defend the little general Johnson, who is old and sick.
Duncan received the ball and slammed it hard into Shaq in an attempt to knock Shaq out of the way. Although he didn't get the ideal shot, Tim still took advantage of these few hits to get a little gap, shot the basketball, and as soon as the basketball shot, a big hand appeared on the basketball and flew the basketball directly. Shaq! The old spicy Shaq has been waiting for this moment for a long time!
Lamar passed the ball to Chauncey, who missed a three-shot shot, Shaq pressed Duncan to grab an offensive rebound, and as soon as he landed, he hurriedly passed the ball to Lamar, who gave the ball to Ramon Murray, who cut in and scored.
"That's amazing, Lamond, when did you learn to throw?" Lamar teased Murray with a laugh.
The latter said angrily: "What is this, in fact, I have always used this trick, but the real person does not show his face." ”
Lamar pouted, and then went up again in good spirits to chase after him.
Before you know it, it's the middle of the third quarter, and now the Lakers have a six-point lead at 73:67.
The Lakers' biggest advantage over the Spurs is bench depth, and they now have Grant, Ron Harber, Brian Shaw, Foster, Tyrone Lue and other strong players on the bench.
Of course, these people are not perfect, and they all have their own shortcomings, but it is definitely more than enough to play as a substitute.
At the beginning of the first half of the second quarter, the Lakers replaced the bench one after another, and Grant played at that time, after Grant performed well, he also scored 4 points in the face of Duncan's defense, one of which was still a back-to-back single, turned around and hit a hook layup.
Because of the gap in the bench, Zhuge Vic did not replace it with a pure substitute, he has always kept Duncan on the court, if there is no Di Ken, then the Spurs' bench can be beaten into scum by the Lakers, of course, the Spurs' interior bench is still good, but the outside line is scum.
As a result, when the main players of the Lakers returned to the court in good spirits, Duncan could only stand on the court and gasp for breath.
Daniels spun around, and with Chauncey's late reaction, he rushed inside to give Robinson, who easily scored two points.
Lamar rushed across the half court quickly with the ball, didn't Duncan have some physical strength to keep up?
The Lakers' players on the floor right now are quick-paced players, with Lamar organizing the fast break and others following him, looking for open space to shoot all over the court.
In fact, Duncan and Robinson's pace is not slow, but the former didn't have much rest tonight, and the latter is old, so it's really hard to run like this.
Anderson wanted to go up and interfere with Lamar's offense, but the current Lamar was not something he could deal with, especially since the two were still so different in height and weight.
Against Anderson's body, Lamar's advance speed did not decrease at all, Lamar dribbled the ball and sneered Anderson away, and rushed into the three-point line at a faster speed.
Duncan gasped and rushed into the box to defend back, and as soon as he turned his head, he saw that Lamar was already on the move.
Seeing this scene, even a good-tempered person like Duncan couldn't help but scold a shirt, what is this? When will the Lakers also break fast?
What's even more depressing is that Lamar's pull-up jump shot actually hit.
"We just came here, man, can't you give me a chance to show myself?" Grant grumbled with a broken face.
Lamar shrugged and smiled: "You have to fight for your chance, believe me, brothers, as long as you run fast enough, I will be able to pass the ball to you in time." ”
Chauncy raised his hand and smiled: "Then you must look at me later, I practiced sprinting in high school." ”
Daniels and the others were in a hurry, this group of bastards didn't even take them seriously, you know, last season's Western Conference semifinals they fought with the Trail Blazers for seven games to decide the winner, or relied on the insidious moves of Rashid and Sabonis to be eliminated.
Although they don't have Steve Kerr as a backup core and three-point shooter now, aren't the Lakers also missing the team's sixth man, Robert Horry?
Zhuge Vic's perennial training is still very effective! Daniels and the others are very patient and confident.
In the face of the defense of the old guy Grant, Robinson finally waved the strength of the former All-Star center again, he has enough experience and strength to shake off the old guy's reassuring layup, Grant can not prevent his strategy even if he can prevent his score, so that the Spurs can play very easily.
Duncan was about to hit the ball backwards, Lamar clinged to him tightly, but this could not stop Duncan's attack, just shook his shoulders and went inside, Duncan shook off Lamar and rushed to the inside to score a layup.
Lamar picked up the ball and slapped it with his big hand, his anger was incomparable, and he felt that defending Duncan was much harder than defending Garnett.
Seeing Lamar about to drop the ball on the floor, Chauncy hurriedly went up and grabbed the ball and threw it to Shaw, if the ball fell to the ground, then Lamar might have to eat a technical foul.
"Attack!Lamar, you have to calm down for me, don't do anything stupid!" Chauncy scolded as he ran, Lamar delayed his serve, and this fast break was not going to work.
The Spurs players were on the inside, Chauncey tried to break inside, and he shook off Daniels, but Duncan and Anderson were caught together, and Chauncy had to pass the ball back.
Chauncey's pass was seen through by Daniels, who had been waiting for him behind him, passing the ball, so that as soon as the ball came out, Daniels immediately stole the ball.
This time it was the Spurs' turn to break fast, Johnson and Daniels teamed up to go fast, Daniels just played a role in blocking the opponent, in fact, Johnson was alone with the ball after receiving the pass in the whole process.
Rushing into the restricted area, jumping, and scoring baskets, Johnson's fast break is called fast attack, fast and faster.
"It's okay, just be careful, this guy's steals are really fast. Lamar shrugged at Chauncy and said, "Keep attacking, there's no way he's going to steal every pass you make." ”
Lamar followed up and picked up the ball and threw it back to Chauncey, trusting it is not just words, it relies more on action.
Chauncy had a smile on his face when he received the ball, it really feels good to be trusted, that's what it feels like to be a partner, Lamar is really his brother.
Chauncey kept running with the ball, Lamar looked calm, and Tim Duncan smiled and said, "It seems like your teammates have deprived you of the right to control the ball, but to be honest, his playmaking skills are still not as good as yours." Why don't you take the ball into your own hands?"
Lamar glanced at Tim Duncan lazily, thought for a moment, and finally said: "Tim, to be honest, your trash talk is really bad! Don't try to provoke me with trash talk, you don't deserve it! Let's focus on the game, when I was a rookie, I would never do such stupid things, I always use my strength to teach my opponents." ”
In the end, Lamar added contemptuously: "Of course, to be honest, your strength is really strong, but I still want to rely on my real strength to destroy you, and I will surpass you sooner or later." ”
Tim looked at Lamar with a determined face in front of him, bit his lip and didn't speak. In fact, in Tim's heart, he still approves of Lamar!
At this time, Derrick Anderson happened to run after Ramon Murray, and when he heard Lamar's words, he cried and laughed: "Lamar, aren't you talking nonsense? Everyone knows that in your rookie season you are best at talking trash." ”
It's not easy to look away from the game, for example, now, as soon as Anderson turned around and taunted Lamar, Ramon Murray shook him off and rushed to the free throw line, and Chauncey passed the ball at the right time.
Anderson and Daniels were shocked at the same time, and the two chased after each other until they were close that Ramon passed the ball back to Chauncey.
Chauncy had no one in front of him at the moment, he looked down at the distance between the three-point line and himself, adjusted his shooting posture, and finally raised his hand to throw the ball out, and pierced his heart with an arrow.
Rammond waved his finger and smirked, "Guys, another assist!" I feel like I've become John Stockton, don't you think my passing is extremely penetrating?"
Hearing this, even Lamar couldn't help but want to beat him, what nonsense is this? But fortunately, this guy didn't claim to be Magic Johnson, otherwise maybe the players would really come up and beat him up after hearing this.
The Spurs' offense is still a simple interior tactic.
Daniels threw the ball to Thiem, and with Tim on the inside, he was a lot more relaxed, and of course, his stats were a little bleaker.
Tim took the ball around three times and two times to shake off Grant, Grant has not faced such a difficult opponent since entering the NBA! Tim Duncan did not fight with him, but kept going around in circles on the outside with the ball. As soon as he gets an offensive gap, he will take the initiative to score, or he will pass the ball to his teammates and help them score.
Robinson turned and shook Lamar away, received a pass from Thiem and made a layup, and Lamar hurriedly jumped to block it. Seeing Lamar jump, Robinson had a satisfied smile on his face, and he bumped directly into Lamar.
Shaq sat on the sidelines and sighed, he already knew Robinson's intentions, this guy just wanted to make a foul. Although his free throws are not very reliable, if he can send Lamar off the court, then his offensive ability will undoubtedly be liberated to the greatest extent.
