Meanwhile, the other semifinals continued, with the Trail Blazers and the 73-win team meeting the Warriors, who defeated the former in their first game at Oracle Arena. Even though Damian. Lillard's 30-point cut didn't work. Because Thompson scored 37 points on the opposite side, and Green also scored a triple-double of 23 points, 13 rebounds, 11 assists, 1 steal and 3 blocks, even if Curry didn't play, he won. Lillard was defended as an iron dog, shooting 8-of-26 from the field, shooting 30.8 percent from the field, and almost fell below 3 percent. In this way, there is a ghost who can win. At 118-106, the Warriors scored 12 points to win their first division semifinals. On May 2, the Cavaliers met the Hawks again. James, as last year, easily led the team to defeat the opponent, and the Cypriot giants played steadily and combined to exceed 60 points again. 104-93, the Hawks had no hope of winning. The outside world said that if Atalanta can win one game this time, it will be considered a victory.

On May 2, the Lakers ushered in Game 2 of the division semifinals. Because the Lakers were the first team to play in the semifinals, they played the fastest this time. Because of the home field advantage, this game was held in the Staples Center in Los Angeles. The Spurs also made some pre-game adjustments, but Popovich also knew from the last game that this round of the series is not easy to play. Larry. Brown will certainly not let go of his team's cover door and force singles.

This kind of game can become very fluid, with a lot of singles, but it does work against the Spurs.

The Spurs are known as the era of the "two-German combination" this season, but Leonard is the first year to take the lead, averaging 21 points per game. This scoring ability is similar to that of Butler of the Lakers. You could say he's a little more efficient than Butler, but the stability isn't suitable, because the Lakers are a slow-paced team, and if you look at the percentage of points, you'll see the magic. Leonard's team is not as good as Butler's 20+ points per game.

Aldridge, this is the only reliance, he has to play the No. 4 position to play, and playing the No. 5 position is basically wasted. However, in this case, Duncan's off-ball play and off-ball blocking must be sacrificed on the offensive end. Without Duncan's intangible contributions, the overall operation of the Spurs' offensive end would be suppressed, which is a dilemma at all. How to solve it, Popovich himself suddenly did not think of a perfect solution.

At first, I was a little conservative, trying to see if my off-ball offensive operation really couldn't open the opponent, but the result was really the same as the last game. Really, it can't be opened. The Lakers are now making it clear that I'm not talking nonsense with you, everyone doesn't play anything smooth and off-ball, it's better than superstars and singles. Popovich is also very clear about why the Lakers are doing this, although they all know that air cutting and defensive switching are more efficient, but this is the strongest point for the Spurs. Although the Lakers will, they are obviously not doing as well as the Spurs. So, simply Larry. Brown gave up on this and played the Thunder's style and way of playing. It's the kind of thing that he kept saying in the last round that it was a "primitive style of play" and "a tactic".

Because, this is a strong point for the Lakers, at least better than the Spurs.

Learning from strengths and avoiding weaknesses is also a basic rule in basketball.

As long as you can win, it doesn't matter if you are "primitive" or "advanced", it is not bad. In competitive sports, winning is the ultimate way to everything. I said this before, and that's because of the Lakers and Larry. Brown was the winner. If they lose, you see who else says the Lakers played as a team? Don't you all praise the thunder and the two young ghosts!

Even the so-called James system, how amazing and mysterious do you think it is? Isn't it just that James can win with this big package? Otherwise, he would have been scolded as a grandson by people a long time ago. Therefore, if you can win, you can do it.

The rest is just a matter of the butt deciding the head.

The Spurs still made changes, D1, and strengthened their defense for the low post. As for the Lakers, after Tang Qian played a few bad feelings, he quickly changed to attract passes, a setter for outside players, and Rondo made a three-point shot at the top of the arc. It's a big vacancy, so the hit rate is okay. Rondo has also improved a lot of open three-point points now, although his shots are limited, and he definitely doesn't shoot if there is no big vacancy, but once he has it, he will not be as timid as he was a few seasons ago, and he doesn't dare to shoot.

This is progress.

Forget a few balls, the Spurs defense took a sudden online pinch attack this time, forcing Rondo to play the ball, but Rondo reacted quickly and threw it in, Tang Qian cut in without the ball to get the ball, and hit it when he went up. The Spurs still relied on Duncan and made an offensive foul. However, Tang Qian is not very angry now. Because of the last game, he was given a way. Duncan is indeed the strongest level of interior position perception in history, and his footwork and stance are also recognized as perverted, otherwise he is a matchbox bouncing, where could he still maintain this ability to protect the basket for so many years? Duncan has the intention of creating offensive fouls, and there must be a few in a game.

However, Duncan's physical strength is not good now, and he has invested too much energy to defend Tang Qian, so he has no energy left to shine in the rest of the place. Such a Spurs team, in fact, the sacrifice is also huge. But the problem is, if you don't sacrifice, you can't! The Lakers No. 29 will blow it up! Did you see it in the last round? How did the Lakers rely on No. 29 to blow the Thunder step by step? 58 points in the second game of the series, except for the first game, the tactical need is only 22 points, and the rest, has there been a game that has scored 30 points? With an average of 37 points per game, I ask you if you are afraid!

So the Spurs can't afford not to do it. Can't help but sacrifice No. 21, Tim. Duncan.

What Tang Qian has to do now is to adjust his mentality, how to play, and when it comes to the second half, naturally, the goddess of victory will let herself "lift her skirt". Duncan also knew what the other side was going to do, but he really couldn't help it. The difference in strength is too big, and he is too old, and if he wants to go to the No. 5 position to defend No. 29, he really needs to concentrate all the time. Otherwise, it will inevitably be pierced.

The Spurs' offense is less Duncan, and the overall off-ball power has dropped a lot. Let the rest of the team split the attack, and the Lakers' defensive point is strong, so the Spurs are in a dilemma. can only take advantage of the fact that Duncan can still drag on a little in the first half, and try to increase the score as much as possible, otherwise, when Duncan is tired, it will be the time when the interior defense collapses.

No way, in order to open up more points, now it can only be a wave of points, how to grab it? It's still the way to do it from the last game! Use the "Violent Heavenly Thing" style of play to grab points! Grab as much as you can! Let's figure it out in the second half. But this time, Larry. Brown already had a setup, so when he saw the Spurs doing this, he immediately changed his move and used the method of shrinking the basket to block the opposite breakout. Spurs played a bit after it didn't feel very good. Popovich got on a bunch of shooters. Even if this old man says "I don't like three-point shots" and "I hate three-point shots", if he really wants to use it, he is not ambiguous. What a duplicitous guy!

I can't believe his nonsense!

So hit? It's also as simple as blocking the star's receiving lane, then continuing to shrink and consolidate the penalty area, so that your attacks can be concentrated in the two-point area. Playing like this, it is not so easy to pass the ball to the star, and it is easy to make mistakes and be tackled halfway. If you don't give it, then only the defense of the 2-point area is looser. In this way, are you going to fight or not? Don't fight? It's even harder to do it any other way! Hit, the Spurs now have no role players in the mid-pitch masters. Again, three points can rely on muscle memory exercises, forcibly pile up, and progress quickly, but mid-range shooting is different! There are so many shots in the mid-range that you can't roughly strengthen them all. Take a look at the Spurs' three-point master, the strong 3D player Danny. Green. The career three-point shooting rate is close to 4 percent, and the career three-point shooting rate in the playoffs is more than 4 to 1! An absolute three-point master! But CIC: I'm sorry! In the regular season career, 10~16 feet, the shooting rate is less than 3 percent, 16~23 feet, that is, 3 into 8. And at this distance this season, his shooting percentage is less than 35%, only 34%! It's lower! Not to mention the playoffs, they are only in the early 3 percent, which is completely untrustworthy! If you want to kill people at a medium distance, it's even more of a pipe dream!

It's the same with Ginobili, it's also better than a mid-range shot with a 3-pointer! His mid-distance regular season career is about 3 into 8, and the middle and long distance is 16~23 feet, just over 3 into 4 points. The playoffs are even worse, less than three out of tenth! So he, the Spurs' ace sixth man for many years, is not up to the task! The French fat Dior is good in the middle distance, but in the playoffs in the regular season, he immediately slipped in the middle distance, and he also had 2 points and 3 points in the middle distance to 8, and 2 points and 3 points in the middle distance to 5. But David. West and Andre. A veteran like Miller is solid in mid-range. However, these two people are too slow, and they are both very old, and they have nothing to say about their body strength, but they can't move anymore. In the past, the Lakers still have a good chance to make up for it again.

The main reason is that after being entangled for so long, the score difference still can't be opened, and the main players have been making wedding dresses, which can't be comfortable for a long time. As soon as the mentality changes, there will be unpredictable situations for the entire offense and defense. Moreover, the Lakers' side is not without scoring, and the Spurs are more tired defending them. In the first substitute time, the Spurs' Ginobili did not feel good, so the Spurs finally opened up a little bit in the main time, and when it came to the bench time, it all came to naught. The Lakers' bench firepower was too strong, and Nick. Yang + Pierce + Lance. Stephenson is a man who still has a lot of firepower on the bench. When you are separated from different teams, everyone is on the bench and averaging double-digit points per game is not a problem. In addition, there is no shortage of defensive masters in the Lakers' bench lineup, so it will be very difficult for the opposite side to fight.

Before you know it, Larry. Brown increased the Lakers' bench scoring firepower to an extremely strong situation, and the overall thickness of the Lakers team improved again. This team is really not so easy to beat. There are too many pieces that can be used, too many lineups that can be combined, and there are especially people who are not expensive. It's really, infuriating.

The most eye-catching aspects of the Lakers' operations over the years have been swept under the rug, Bosh is very strong, a star player, but what really makes this team rise strongly. It's still these deals that were not very promising when they were signed. These people form a seemingly inconspicuous, but already strong Laker with strong internal strength. Why say Larry. Brown is ambitious this season, and that's not a slogan. That's what he's going to do.

In the third quarter, after re-replacing the main team, the Spurs had problems again, and they began to gradually lose their ability to defend the Lakers' No. 29. As Duncan's fatigue and physical strength ran out, Tang Qian's attack pressure became less and less, in this case, there was nothing to say, just start fighting. One person scored 9 points in one go, and directly forced the score difference to 2 digits. What about the Spurs in this section, because the shooting rate of the mid-range shot declined, and as soon as they loosened up a little, they were seized and directly pressed.

In order to prevent a repeat of the previous game, Spurs coach Popovich quickly called a timeout.

As soon as he began to arrange the offensive end and strengthen the depth of details, the Lakers made a lot of mistakes because they were making it clear that they wanted to pass the ball and run without the ball in these games. Forcing a pass doesn't work well. In response to this, Popovich immediately made an adjustment: Don't play the ball directly on the spot before passing, look here, dribble a few times before the ball! Got it? This can properly distract the Lakers' defensive attention and open up the gap in the Lakers' defensive lineup! So, don't pass the ball so directly! The Lakers are a team with strong defense, and the overall interference is absolutely first-class.

As for the defensive end, Tim is also tired, everyone is going to help! Don't let him be left alone anymore! Otherwise, the situation of the last game is a reenactment! He will be taken away by him alone again to win! Help Tim! Get the time to do it! Do you understand???

Popovich was really anxious, so he started picking out the details. Otherwise, he knows very well that this ball can't be played. The opponent's overall response, the overall restraint, was very aimed at the Spurs, and if he didn't make adjustments, he would fail.

He can't afford to watch his team lose 2 in a row!
