Chapter 207: Mike. Brown's Stubbornness (Epitaph)

Seeing that the Spurs changed to the main lineup, Mike. Brown didn't dare to hesitate much, and immediately asked Bynum, Ci Shiping, and Ramon. Sessions was on the court at the same time. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info the second quarter of the game, the Lakers 48-43, leading the opponent by 5 points.

Domestically, this game is jointly narrated by Meteor Shower and Zhang Weiping.

"Coach Zhang, the Lakers led by 5 points at halftime, does this mean that the Lakers played well tonight?" The meteor shower took advantage of the intermission to ask Zhang Weiping a question.

"I don't think the Lakers are playing well." Zhang Weiping said.

"Oh? Can Director Zhang explain why? "Meteor shower road.

On the court, the Lakers temporarily led the Spurs by 5 points, but looking over the technical statistics of the Lakers, the team's shooting percentage in the entire second quarter was only 40.9%, which was far behind the Spurs' 48%. Actually, if you remove Matt. Barnes' shooting percentage is just 19.2 percent for the Lakers. With this kind of sluggish shooting percentage, if you want to win, the situation is actually not optimistic. ”

"But the Lakers are still leading the score." Meteor shower tracts.

Zhang Weiping shook his head and said, "For the time being, I am still ahead, one is because of Matt. Barnes's extraordinary play is second because of Andrew. Bynum's rebound. Maybe you didn't notice, Andrew. Bynum had already grabbed 19 rebounds in the first half, including 8 frontcourt rebounds and 11 backcourt rebounds, and if it weren't for this, the Spurs would have suppressed the Lakers in terms of points. Zhang Weiping took a breath and continued: "But it's strange to say, Duncan actually grabbed 1 rebound in the entire first half, which is obviously unreasonable. ”

"Yes, I also saw that this kind of rebounding data is obviously not the real level of 'Shifo' Duncan." Meteor shower tracts.

"So." Zhang Weiping said: "Don't look at the Lakers who are still leading by 5 points, but you can't keep pointing at Matt. Barnes' shot and Andrew. Bynum's rebound! Once the two of them are back to normal, that's when the Spurs turn the tables around. ”

"Oh~ two gentlemen, it seems that your predictions are inaccurate." Rachel. Nick Dow.

"It's just over halfway through the game now, and I don't think the Lakers are lucky enough to keep the game all the time." Bill. Walton said.

"yes, I think so too." Dana. Altman agreed: "And the five-point advantage is not too big, is it? ”

"Well, since both of them are holding their own shots, let's wait and see." Rachel. Nick Dow.

San Antonio locker room.

"People don't have to care about the score, it's just the luck of the Lakers." Greg. Popovich said in a calm tone: "We just need to continue to attack and defend according to the usual training, and when their luck runs out, that's when we overtake." ”

"Also, Tim ......" Greg. Popovich turned to San Antonio No. 21 and said, "Your rebound, it's time to grab the gun." ”

"yes, I see." The Spurs No. 21 only nodded faintly when he heard this, neither shouting nor being silent.

The Lakers' locker room is a different story.

"Everybody's doing well, keep up the good work, let's win the team that is the first in the West!" Mike. Brown's words were addressed to the Lakers' starters, who have been under a lot of pressure lately, so they urgently need a "weak over strong" victory to calm the outside rhetoric.

There's nothing to say, he doesn't have the concentration of "Zen Master" Jackson who is not surprised and calm.

So in the "maelstrom" of Los Angeles, his mentality is extremely susceptible.

Anyway, Mike. Brown arranged some "inconsequential" tactics again, but Tang Qian heard it in his ears, and it was just one sentence:

That is to continue to die. the first striker!

At the beginning of the third quarter, both sides slowly got into shape, and with Tim. Duncan's play, the An's rebounding skills plummeted, and most of the quarter passed, but he only got a pitiful 1 rebound. On the other hand, "Stone Buddha" Duncan exploded 9, and his personal rebounding data instantly came to 2 digits. In fact, the Spurs, like the Lakers, have a trend of "aging". Parker, the rest of the age is older than Kobe. But luckily, their head coach is Greg. Popovich. Popovich's 12-man rotation strategy began to work in the second half of the third quarter, and when the GDP combination returned to the court after a long break, the Lakers starters were a little overwhelmed.

Why?

Because the physical strength is a little lacking.

Kobe Bryant and Gasol needless to say, this game has hardly been rested until now, Bynum is too heavy, he is not a person with good personal strength, Ci Shiping was also Kehuai. Leonard got entangled, consuming a lot of stamina. Therefore, in this way, it belongs to Ramon. Sessions is a little more energetic. But his opponent is Tony. Parker, a prospective superstar who has won 3 championships, 1 FMVP, and 4 All-Stars. Against Parker, Sessions didn't dare to distract at all, and he couldn't talk about supporting other teammates. As a result, the Lakers' ball is getting harder and harder to play.

The leading score was quickly eroded.

75-75, this is the total score of the two teams after three quarters, it seems to be a tie, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Lakers' momentum is no longer as good as the San Antonio Spurs. In fact, if it weren't for Kobe Bryant's last-minute three-pointer, the Lakers would have been in a trailing position right now.

The situation, for Los Angeles, is becoming more and more unfavorable.

Mike. Of course, Brown found out about it, but what could he do? Removing key players to rest? That would definitely be carried away by a wave of games, so he had to bite the bullet and continue to keep the starting lineup on the field.

This is the difference between a 12-man lineup rotation and an 8-man lineup rotation, if the starting team is still young, it is nothing, but once you get older, the disadvantages will quickly appear. Physical problems, on the Lakers' body, gradually turned into a heavy pimple. Brown didn't have the ability, or guts, to cut it off.

ESPN Live Room.

"I've said it a long time ago, the Lakers will be difficult to win tonight, and their starting players all have varying degrees of fitness problems." Bill. Walton said.

"That's right." Dana. Altman nodded: "Look at the main playing time of the two teams, Lakers Kobe Bryant 31 minutes, Gasol 30 minutes, Bynum 28 minutes, Ci Shiping 25 minutes, Sessions 24 minutes." And what about the Spurs, Tim. Duncan 19 min, Tony. Parker 20 min, Danny. Green 19 min, Kawai. Leonard 16 min, De Juan. Blair 11 min. The rest is the fourth quarter, the tiebreaker, and the starting lineup will definitely increase their playing strength, so that most of the Lakers' main players will break through the 35-minute barrier. Even Kobe Bryant and Gasol will break the 40-minute mark. Said Dana. Altman shook his head and said, "If this is a young man in his 20s, I don't think it hurts, but Kobe Bryant will be 34 years old in 4 months, and Gasol will be 32 years old soon, so I don't think it's wise to squeeze them desperately." It's just a regular season game, after all, right? ”

"It's too late." Bill. Walton said: "You're a college coach, and you probably don't spend much time watching the NBA regular season, but I've been following the Lakers this season and found that their records are almost all based on overdrafts. Why do you say that, first look at the Lakers' average playing time of Kobe Bryant, 38.5 minutes. Looking at the rest of the game, Gasol averaged 37.4 minutes per game, Bynum 35.2, Ciseping 26.9 and Ramon Sessions 30.5. In the entire starting lineup, there were 4 players who played more than 30 minutes and 3 who played more than 35 minutes. Look at the Spurs again, except for Tony. Parker played 32+ minutes and the rest were under 30 minutes. From the perspective of a game, it may just be a question of whether the starting lineup is tired or not, but looking at a season, it is the disadvantage of the team's overdraft and injury. If this toss continues, the Lakers will run out of energy reserves before they make the playoffs. ”

Bill. Walton said: "So it's not unfounded for ESPN to look down on them this year. ”

"Mike. Brown was bound hand and foot by the external force of Los Angeles. "Dana, who is also the head coach. Altman said suddenly.

AT&T Center Arena, Lakers bench.

"Everyone cheered up, and now the two sides are tied, but it's just a matter of getting back to the starting line! As long as we defend well and contain the opponent's attack, we will definitely win the away victory! "Mike. Brown cheered for him "wantonly", but Tang Qian sounded, but the level of nutrition was not very high. Because now the Lakers have to solve not on the defensive end, but on the offensive end, the offensive success rate is too low, which is the key to the team's difficult play.

"Coach Brown, I think it's time to take off the main players and give them a little rest, otherwise the last five minutes, everybody will be exhausted." Tang Qian couldn't stand it, so he interjected.

But the effect is "unexpected".

Mike. After Brown heard this, he turned his head to look at Tang Qian, pushed his glasses and said: "Hot, now is the critical moment, the main lineup has been replaced, who will go up to compete with the Spurs?" Could it be ...... Is it up to you? ”

"I didn't mean that, Coach Brown, it's just the physical distribution of the main players......" Tang Qian didn't finish speaking, and was attacked by Mike. Brown interrupted sharply, "Enough! I'm the manager of the team and I know how to allocate my playing time! ”

"The lineup for the upcoming meeting is, Bryant, Sessions, Pease, Gasol, Bynum."

"The big guys are working hard! Tonight's game, you have to win! "Mike. Brown looked at the scorer above his head, his expression a little stubbornly hideous.
