Chapter 940: Defeat the Spur's Magic Weapon!
"Toot ......"
The whistle blows, and the fourth quarter begins. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
In the beginning, both sides sent a rotating lineup, and their main players were physically exhausted and needed enough time to rest.
Before coming on the court, Scott glanced at the Spurs and said to Williams: "Wait a minute, you have to play fiercely, we are still ahead, but my request for you is not only 4 points ahead, but at least 8 points, or even 10 points." ”
Taking a deep breath, Scott looked serious: "And, I want you to open up the difference as soon as possible and force the Spurs to replace the main team as soon as possible." They are more physically exerted than we are, and their average age is older than ours, so let them play a little bit earlier and we will fight with them. ”
"Yes. Williams and the others nodded their heads with serious expressions.
They are well aware that this task may seem simple, but it is not easy to accomplish, and Popovich will not make early substitutions unless he has to. If you want to force the Spurs to make early substitutions, you must suppress the Spurs, and you must widen the point difference, and if you can go up by 10 points, it will be the best.
"Come on. Scott waved and the crowd played.
Looking at the court, Scott crossed his hands on his chest, glanced sharply at the Spurs bench, and thought in his heart, although the Lakers are now leading by 4 points, there is still a full quarter left, and the 4-point difference is nothing, not to mention that the opponent is still the Spurs.
Entering the fourth quarter, once the Spurs are relieved, they will inevitably launch a counterattack, and it is still unknown whether the Lakers can withstand it at that time.
So, Scott has to take the initiative and not let the Spurs slow down, at least not physically.
In the first three quarters, the Spurs' physical consumption was already significant, and this was an opportunity, and Scott had a keen insight into it, and there was no reason not to take advantage of it. Because he knows very well that if he uses it well, maybe this will be a magic weapon to beat the Spurs.
"Toot ......"
The whistle blows, and the Spurs attack......
More than two minutes passed in the blink of an eye, and Popovich's face became more and more ugly.
It was only more than two minutes, and the difference had been stretched to 8 points, and the Spurs were completely suppressed by the Lakers in the competition of the rotation lineup.
The Lakers' rotation lineup showed an extremely efficient offense, and the defense was also extremely fierce, and it could even be said that it was desperate, which made the Spurs players a little uncomfortable.
In this case, the Spurs' offensive efficiency declined, and the defense could not be prevented, and the final score almost expanded to 8 points!
"Coach, 8 points. A teaching assistant said next to Popovich.
"I know. Popovich frowned, thought for a moment, looked at the court, and said, "Wait a little longer." ”
On the court, the Spurs attacked, but there was a mistake under the Lakers' almost desperate defense, Williams broke the ball, launched a dragon fast break, and hit a layup in the front court.
The difference is 10 points!
"Hmph!" Popovich snorted, finally couldn't wait any longer, immediately called a timeout, and when the players on the court came down, he scolded his head and face, and then made a substitution, not replacing several main forces together, only Parker and Leonard.
On the Lakers' side, Chen Feng and Clarkson were also replaced.
Both sides are the main team plus the bench lineup, the Spurs are strong in defense, while the Lakers are strong in offense, Chen Feng, Clarkson, Williams can all score, and once opened, the scoring ability of the three is more than the Spurs.
Therefore, after two minutes, the difference did not narrow, but opened up by 3 points to 13 points.
Popovich's heart sank, and he finally replaced all the main forces. Seeing him like this, Scott sneered in his heart, and also replaced Kobe, Hibbert, and Randle with Chen Feng and Clarkson.
There are just over seven minutes left in the end, and the difference is 13 points!
From the start, the Spurs showed a strong defense, putting a lot of pressure on the Lakers, while the Lakers used frequent breakaways and passes to tear apart the Spurs' defense and drain their physical energy.
In terms of scoring, the Lakers are much more single, almost entirely relying on Chen Feng and Kobe, while the Spurs have more and more balanced scorers.
But a few minutes later, looking at the score, the Lakers are still 8 points ahead!
Seeing that time is getting shorter and shorter, the Spurs' rhythm begins to pick up, but this is exactly what the Lakers like.
For a time, the Lakers played a wave of fast-breaking and fast-defending games, suppressing the Spurs in terms of scoring, so that the Spurs could not turn over.
Entering the final three minutes, Popovich called another timeout, intending to fight back.
Unfortunately, by this time, the problem of too much physical consumption of Spurs players was highlighted, and with the decline in physical fitness, the defensive intensity also decreased, and the Lakers no longer needed to rely on Chen Feng and Kobe Bryant to score, and Clarkson, Randle, and Hibbert also opened.
"Well, now the situation is completely tilted in favor of the Lakers. Yao Ming nodded again and again as he watched from the audience.
The physical consumption of Spurs players is too large, and the physical consumption of Chen Feng and Kobe Bryant on the Lakers' side is also very large, as long as the Spurs have a little bit of strength, they don't need to put much defensive pressure on Chen Feng and Kobe in the last few minutes, and their shooting rate will also decline.
But the problem is that there is a problem with the physical fitness of the Spurs, although Chen Feng and Kobe Bryant's shooting rate has declined, Clarkson, Randle, and Hibbert have opened, showing a situation of multi-point flowering, which makes the Spurs depressed.
At this time, the situation on the court seemed a little weird, and the Spurs, who had been playing overall and scoring equally, could only rely on Leonard and Aldridge.
And the Lakers, who had been relying on Chen Feng and Kobe Bryant to score, blossomed more at this time, scored in a balanced manner, and made a reversal with the Spurs.
This kind of reversal is beneficial to the Lakers!
"Alas......" Popovich shook his head, sighing in his heart, there was still more than a minute left, the difference was still 9 points, and there was no hope of turning the tables.
Of course, he won't admit defeat just yet, this is a playoffs, even if there is a thousandth hope, he has to fight.
At the behest of Popovich, the Spurs pressed all over the court, but it didn't work well, and when the time entered the last minute, they immediately switched to foul tactics.
The Lakers were prepared for this, and the players made good free throws, and finally won the game 110-104.
When the final whistle blew, the fans at the stadium let out a sigh of relief.
This game went through several twists and turns, but in the end the Lakers won, which made Spurs fans feel a little unhappy, in the home court of the Spurs, the first playoff game, actually lost to the Lakers!
Of course, Lakers fans didn't think so, and they stood up one after another and began to cheer loudly, shouting the names of Chen Feng and Kobe Bryant, and cheering for the two.
