The Lakers and Spurs game starts at 7:30 p.m., and it's a battle that will be the focus of a national live broadcast.

Now that the season has just begun, the strong teams have not yet started a battle against each other, and the situation is not very clear for the time being.

The Lakers and Spurs, two old rivals, can be regarded as the most interesting game in two weeks.

The Spurs' starting lineup includes center Split, power forward Tim Duncan, small forward Kawhine Leonard, shooting guard Danny Green, and point guard Tony Parker.

The starting lineup on the Lakers' side has changed slightly from the previous games, the four-star will not move, and the starting point guard has become Chris Duhon.

Blake was temporarily out of the game due to a foot injury, and his defense and three-point shooting didn't satisfy Brown anyway, so he just rested.

Li Liang sat next to Mike Brown as usual, holding his chin and waiting for the match to start.

Steve Nash, who wore a brown-green plaid suit, was recovering quickly from a knee injury and was already working on a simple recovery session.

The team will put Nash on injury watch next week and can return to the game if needed.

The Lakers still have a big problem in the point guard position, and Morris, Blake, and Dujon are all embarrassed.

Howard jumped the ball in the center circle and Split started the game.

People are almost losing track of how many times this is between Duncan's Spurs and Kobe's Lakers.

Every time the two meet, there will be different sparks, and Kobe Bryant has a special experience every time he plays the Spurs.

He was once a Spurs killer, and of several playoff matchups, only the 2003 one in which the Lakers were completely defeated.

On the other occasions, Kobe Bryant used his super performance to make Popovich angrily grab his hair.

There is no way, Kobe Bryant is indeed very restrained by the Spurs' scientific and reasonable defensive play in terms of play.

The Lakers took the lead in winning the ball, and Bryant took the ball, but instead of attacking, he chose to pass the ball to Howard on the inside.

The opening look is still to be done, let Howard fight, and if you can score, you will continue to play, and if you can't score, you won't be played.

On the inside, it was Duncan who was opposite Howard, and Duncan could even defend O'Neal back then, so he could be afraid of you Howard?

After Howard received the ball, the basket Sigma stepped, and before the three steps could be squeezed in, the ball was exposed and cut off by Duncan's slap!

The first goal of the opening game, Howard missed, which was not a good sign.

In the last game, Li Liang fed Howard quite comfortably on the outside, but it didn't change the fact that he had dropped significantly on the offensive end.

The Spurs counterattacked, and Tony Parker held the ball and rushed to the basket.

If Duncan became the absolute core of the team's offense after coming to the Spurs in 1997, then by 2005, Ginobili stepped up and became the center of gravity on the offensive end of the outside era.

By 2007, the younger Tony Parker was taking on a more important role.

The Spurs have done a methodical and meticulous iteration of the tactical core.

Since last season, Tony Parker has been the team's number one offensive starter.

The Spurs' two forwards, Leonard and Danny Green, are both drag-and-drop defensive forwards, so the team's first attacker on a quick counter-attack is Tony Parker.

The French sports car was extremely fast, and after rushing to the basket, Gasol and Ci Shiping, who were following him, doubled up to defend it.

Parker circled from the baseline and distributed the ball to Split, who made an easy layup to score the first shot of the game.

Immediately afterwards, the Lakers missed on the offensive end, Duncan won the backcourt rebound, and Parker rushed to the front court with the ball.

As a point guard, Parker's goals under the basket have been at the top of the league for many years, relying on his speed and superb dribbling skills.

As soon as he rushed, the Lakers' defensive formation was messed up, and the Spurs could win in chaos and look for opportunities.

The Spurs have two shots from the outside, one Danny Green and one Leonard.

Duncan now refers more to the high post to play and pass.

Parker passed the ball to Duncan in the high post, and Danny Green followed, receiving a pass from Duncan at 45 degrees on the right side and making a three-point shot!

Popovich has always said he hates three-point shooting, but the Spurs have never missed three-pointers, and more and more.

"Huh!"

Three-point shot, Danny Green hit the first three.

The Lakers continued to play inside, and Howard received the ball deeper on the left side this time.

This time he didn't dribble to the basket, but instead used a small shoulder shake feint and then hit a hook with his right hand.

"Nice hook! Dream Steps! You are the best! First center! ”

Li Liang followed Thackeray as a towel duo off the court, praising Howard to a straight laugh.

The Spurs turned around, Duncan returned one in the low post, and he quickly started after receiving the ball, bursting into the basket and hitting a left-handed layup.

The Spurs' offense was played with rhythm and layering, methodical and unmistakable.

It gives the impression that they can't make mistakes, and you want to win us, come on, fight seriously.

The Lakers made another mistake on their side, and Kobe Bryant still wanted to drop the ball inside, this time to Gasol.

The result was spotted by Split, the ball was knocked out, and the Spurs turned back to fight back.

The Spurs played a screen on the left side, Leonard moved from baseline to baseline, blocked defenders with Duncan's screen, and then received a pass from Parker and hit a three-pointer in the bottom corner!

At 10:2, Mike Brown called a timeout, and the team's opening form was problematic.

It's been several games and the Lakers have always started badly, especially when they want to open up from the inside.

Howard's offense was too inefficient, and there was no way to connect with the perimeter as it should, and the offense was particularly piecemeal if it couldn't be combined inside and out.

Gasol is also the same problem, in the past, those beautiful high-low and high post strategies, what passes from behind, high passes, are getting less and less.

Now he's being pulled more into the high post to shoot, or simply to the inside to play hard, and the talent of the organization is buried.

When Brown called a timeout, his mind not only crossed over what Li Liang had said, "Let Pau Gasol play as a substitute......"

Now that I think about it, this kid is really right, but how can I, an NBA head coach, obey the command of a second-round show?

Besides, the team is winning all the time, and Brown has no reason to put Gasol on the bench at the moment.

During the timeout, Brown asked the team to shift the center of gravity, increase the speed of the attack, and reduce unnecessary passes.

Brown's words, of course, are very subtle, meaning that some passes are not necessary, or to play the success rate, and do not deliberately feed the ball to the inside.

Kobe Bryant's several led outside passes have not worked well, so he still has to start playing from him.

Li Liang was interpreting for Brown on the side, and said to Kobe: "Boss, you play by yourself, a team like the Spurs has played so many times, and I am most afraid of your mid-range shot." You pass it on, you pass it on a yarn! Vote for yourself and you're done! You don't know how to pass, you have to do what you're good at, you see you make a mistake in passing, and Paul has to take the blame for you. ”

What Li Liang said about Mike Brown and other assistant coaches was shocked, how could he talk to Kobe? Is there anyone as upright as you?

There's no way, Li Liang has a hair dryer and can do whatever he wants, and what he said does make sense.

NBA superstars are also spoiled many times, with strong ability, high salary, and many fans are popular, from owners to managers to coaches to teammates to fans, all of them are coaxing him and deceiving him, and if there are mistakes and problems, they don't say it directly, but tell him around the corner.

From the beginning of the season to the present, some changes made by Kobe Bryant are indeed obvious, more organization, passing, more selflessness, and indeed effective.

So he has been praised by a lot of people for thinking that Kobe Bryant is changing and becoming greater.

But he doesn't have much control over that, and the Lakers are a team that lacks offensive ability on the perimeter, especially without Nash, who doesn't have a decent ball-handling attacker.

Therefore, sometimes the Lakers just need Kobe Bryant to do it alone with the ball, so they need him to shoot bang bang.

Brown is a sycophant coach who naturally doesn't dare to say it, when he was in the Cavaliers, everyone watched the video together, James made a defensive mistake, Brown didn't say anything, and as a result, another ordinary player had a defensive problem, and Brown criticized it.

At that time, the Cavaliers' West couldn't stand it anymore and said to Brown that you should be fair and impartial and not partial to some people.

When it comes to the Lakers, Brown is still like this, there is no way, the head coach is essentially a job, he knows his place on the team.

Li Liang is different, he has something to say anyway, Kobe Bryant's opening was passed around, and it was all seen through by the Spurs.

The Lakers' bench suddenly became a little silent, and Kobe Bryant pouted and expressionless.

He wasn't angry, and it wasn't the first time Bruce Lee had done this, and he was a little used to being talked about.

And what Bruce Lee said seems to have some sense, damn, a team like the Spurs, this kind of defense, one Split and one Duncan on the inside, it's hard to play with O'Neal, let alone Howard?

Okay, no matter, I'm going to do it myself!

Kobe Bryant made up his mind to increase his offense next.

On the other side of the Spurs' bench, Spurs head coach Popovich subconsciously glanced to this side, and he seemed to anticipate the Lakers' next strategy.

But what can be done? After so many years, what can I do?
