Chapter 847: The First Battle After All-Star (5)
A group of Spurs players, especially several substitute players, nodded with serious faces. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
They were a little frustrated in the past few minutes, and the pride in their hearts made them not allow this kind of thing to continue, they had to beat each other, and they had to let the Lakers' rotation know that with a lineup like the Lakers, it was impossible to compete with them, and the few minutes just now were just an accident.
But was it really just an accident?
At this time, the second quarter was already halfway through, the physical consumption of the rotation lineup was relatively large, and the score was still behind the Lakers, so Popovich simply made a substitution.
And it was a drastic move, directly replacing the entire rotation lineup, replacing five starters, Duncan, Aldridge, Leonard, Green, and Parker.
"With five minutes left in the quarter, I only have one request, and that is to take the lead before the end of the first half. Popovich's face was full of seriousness, "Now, I'll talk about the next tactics, first ......"
Same as here, on the Lakers' side, Scott also directly replaced the rotation lineup.
However, he still gave full credit to the performance of the rotation lineup in the past few minutes: "Williams, you did a good job, very beautiful. Nick Young, Bass, Kelly, Hultas, you're not bad, remember that feeling, and continue to play like that later. ”
"Yes. Williams agreed in unison, encouraged.
Scott nodded, looked at Chen Feng and Kobe, and his expression became serious: "Wait a minute, the other party will definitely fight more fiercely, especially in defense." Defence itself is what Spurs are good at, and they will certainly do their best defensively and will be hoping to keep us at bay with defence in the hope of catching up before half-time. ”
Everyone looked at Scott with sharp eyes, and the Spurs wanted to catch up with the score, so let them go.
Seeing that everyone was not a little timid, but had high morale, Scott was relieved, and his tone was aggravated, and he said: "However, we will never let them succeed, this is in Staples, this is our Lakers' territory, and we must not let them get their way." ”
"Chen, Kobe. He looked at the two, "I don't need to say much about the Spurs' defense, but I trust you, and you will be our sharp knives and break through the opponent's defense." Only if the two of you open it up, the others will find a chance, understand?"
"Hmm. Bryant nodded.
"Understood. Chen Feng also said.
It's what they have to do as a core player, and it's a responsibility they have to take on, just as Williams has to carry the second team.
Scott added, "Randle, Larry Nance Jr., Clarkson, you're all going to get me running, you're going to get up to speed." The Spurs have the advantage on the inside, but we have the advantage in terms of speed, and we have to let them follow our rhythm. ”
"Yes. The three of them roared in unison.
While the tactics were being laid out here, the fans in the audience were also discussing.
People are not very surprised by the current score, but everyone knows that the score is so tight, and the two sides will definitely start and fight fiercely. After all, there are five minutes left in the first half, and everyone wants to take the initiative.
"Can't wait. ”
"What will happen later?"
People look at the stadium and can't take their eyes off it.
Finally, the whistle blew, the timeout ended, and the players on both sides returned to the field, and sure enough, they were all starters, which made the fans excited and excited again.
......
Spurs attack.
"Go!" Parker picked up the ball on the baseline, shouted at his teammates, and began to push forward quickly, and in the blink of an eye, he was in the front court.
Duncan came up to do the pick-and-roll, but Chen Feng reacted quickly, quickly bypassed Duncan, and re-blocked in front of Parker, making Parker frown and passing the ball to Leonard.
Leonard took the ball, and the figure in front of him flashed, which surprised him: "It was Kobe Bryant who defended me." ”
In the blink of an eye, Kobe and Clarkson made a switch, Clarkson went to defend Green, and Kobe Bryant came to defend Leonard.
This is also one of Scott's arrangements, the Spurs will inevitably come up with the strongest defense to deal with the Lakers, and the Lakers naturally can't be polite, but also have to come up with the most targeted defense to deal with the Spurs, and the core of Kobe Bryant to defend the Spurs Leonard is one of them.
"Come on. Bryant narrowed his eyes.
"Whew......" Leonard took a deep breath, the momentum on Kobe Bryant's body gave him a lot of pressure, but he would not back down.
At the core, he had to rise to the challenge.
The next moment, Leonard dribbled the ball to the left, depressed the center of gravity, accelerated suddenly, broke through from the left side, and Kobe Bryant quickly stuck to the position.
"Sure enough, it wasn't so easy to pass Kobe. Leonard said secretly in his heart, his speed slowed down slightly, half turned, turned his back against Kobe, squeezed it in with his back against Kobe, and then suddenly centered on his right foot, turned around with the ball, jumped up at the same time, and leaned back.
"Leaning back?" Kobe Bryant's heart skipped a beat, and he tried his best to pounce.
It's a pity that the ball still couldn't touch it after all, and Kobe didn't dare to pounce too fiercely, otherwise it wouldn't be cost-effective to eat a foul.
With a "bang", the basketball steadily drilled into the net and hit the hollow.
Popovich nodded and gave Leonard an encouraging look, the ball was great, not only to score two points, but also to let everyone know that he Leonard was not afraid of Kobe, even under Kobe's defense, he couldn't stop him from scoring.
Turning around, the Lakers attacked.
Chen Feng soon arrived at the frontcourt, saw Kobe Bryant coming to ask for the ball, quickly passed the ball to Kobe, and then slipped to the bottom line by himself and pulled the person away.
Seeing Kobe get the ball, Leonard shouted "I'll come" at Green, quickly stepped forward, and opened his hand to block Kobe Bryant. Since Kobe Bryant defends against him, he simply defends Kobe, whether it is offensive or defensive, he has to be-for-tat.
Kobe Bryant snorted, began to dribble, went to the right side of the crotch, suddenly exerted force, broke through from the right side, and after stepping out, he was blocked by Leonard.
Kobe Bryant was prepared in his heart, and suddenly turned around with the ball, but he didn't pull up or lean back like Leonard just now, but paused in place, the pivot foot remained the same, the retreating foot collapsed forward, both feet exerted force at the same time, bowed slightly, and jumped up from under Leonard's arm.
"Think it's that simple?"
With a cold snort, Aldridge had already pounced and jumped up quickly, blocking Kobe Bryant's front like a human wall.
Behind, Leonard also quickly adjusted his pace, jumped up, and together with Aldridge, completely blocked Kobe.
"Oops!"
"Completely surrounded. ”
The home fans couldn't help frowning, and on the court, the corners of Kobe's mouth went up, the ball in his hand was slammed away, and then the ball was passed out and flew outside the three-point line in the bottom corner.
