The Spurs took the lead.

The Lakers' offense, Nash burst into Myers, who seized the opportunity and hit a three-point shot.

This defensive and offensive, Miles fully reflects his value.

However, as soon as he made a three-point shot, he came back and received a foul while defending Leonard's air cut.

His offense and defense are above the league average, but he's average at controlling fouls.

The Lakers' offense, Howard played Split with his back under the basket.

Split was much harder than Howard had imagined.

And Howard's back shot still looks as rough as before, straight up and down, and the ball jumps out of the basket.

Split grabbed another defensive rebound.

The Spurs didn't push the fast break either, and Parker went to the frontcourt to signal to continue playing the Zip hammer, and Tang Tian rounded up a three-point opportunity to catch the ball.

"Huh!"

He hit the shot against Artest's belated defense.

The Spurs went back 5-3.

"Speed! Velocity! ”

D'Antoni got up and went to the sidelines, waving his hands and shouting at his teammates on the field.

With the Spurs fighting so hard, the Lakers' advantage can't be played at all.

Nash began to pick up the pace, and Bryant came out of the front court to catch the ball.

Tang Tian's ball put pressure.

Still, Bryant's trademark back-back earned himself room to shoot.

Compared to the regular season, he really didn't come under much defensive pressure.

The ball is shot in a picturesque position.

"Bang!"

Basketball is out of the hoop again!

Tang Tian's expression was stunned for a moment at this time.

These two balls, to be honest, because Kobe Bryant sped up his shots, he didn't get used to it all of a sudden, and the defense was not very good.

But Kobe Bryant actually hit the iron with two consecutive shots!

This can only show one thing, Kobe Bryant didn't feel good in this game.

The Spurs' frontcourt offense didn't go in, and the Lakers played fast offense directly.

Bryant received a long pass from Nash on the fast break and made a three-pointer.

It was also his third shot of the quarter.

The chances are good.

"Bang!"

It's a pity that the basketball still jumps out of the basket!

Tang Tian's judgment was right, Kobe Bryant's hand tonight is not bad, it is very cold!

After the Spurs grabbed the rebounds, they began to slow down again.

This time Duncan turned and hit Artest's shot.

The Spurs lead 8-3.

Nash took advantage of the Spurs' defensive misposition and passed the ball to Artest for a layup.

Popovich walked to the sidelines at this time and yelled at the players.

Obviously he wasn't happy with the defense he had played in the round.

Parker's throw interfered with Howard's missed shot, and Howard protected the defensive rebound.

The two teams played for more than four minutes, and the score on the field was 8-5.

Compared to the last meeting between the two teams, the strength of the Lakers has indeed improved significantly.

However, the Lakers attacked the frontcourt again, and the Spurs' defensive intensity on the court increased significantly.

There was no defensive misalignment, and the defensive pressure on Nash, Kobe Bryant and Howard was particularly high.

Popovich's roar had an immediate effect.

There was no chance, Kobe Bryant directly leaned on Tang Tian to stretch out his hand to fight.

Nash puts the ball in.

Tang Tian put pressure on him this time.

The previous kind of moving and beating him didn't get used to it, but he can still do it in this kind of one-on-one.

Kobe Bryant's frontal breakthrough was blocked by Tang Tian, and the turn of the back hit was also stuck, and when he was about to be forced to stop, he chose to forcibly lean back and shoot.

Tang Tian stretched out his hand at this time, almost touching his face.

Kobe raised the arc of the shot, which was really a forced shot.

"Bang!"

The basketball smashed out of the frame again.

Four signature step-back shots.

Four familiar sounds of striking iron.

This is the four Yanghua four irons!

Perhaps to prove that Tang Tian's previous speech at the award was true, he proved it with his actions!

Kobe's operation, Tang Tian unconsciously appeared in his mind the figure of Kobe's daughter.

If he remembers correctly, Kobe Bryant should have given birth to 4 daughters in a row in his previous life, and the fourth was forced to not enter.

This is really the providence of the underworld.

The Lakers were able to score 5-8 with the Spurs in the opening game, which shows that they are not in bad shape on both offensive and defensive ends, but Kobe Bryant is really bad tonight.

Over the course of the game, he made 30 shots, but only scored seven goals and hit 23 irons, one more than he did in the regular season.

Without Kobe's output, the Lakers looked lacklustre on the offensive end.

They also lost 86-103.

Duncan had 18 points, 11 rebounds and 3 blocks, Ginobili had 15 points, Parker had 13 points and 11 assists, Leonard had 12 points, 5 rebounds and 3 steals, and Dio had 10 points.

All six of the Spurs scored in double figures.

Tang Tian felt good tonight, shooting 6 of 8 from beyond the three-point line, scoring a team-high 20 points, plus 4 assists, 2 steals and 1 block.

After the game, he was interviewed by Saige on the sidelines as the best player of the tournament.

Saige is a well-known reporter in the NBA, because he always likes to wear some fancy clothes, and is the object of Popovich's royal ridicule.

However, Tang Tian still respected this kind of reputation very much, and he didn't want to have any negative impact on himself at this juncture.

"Don, first of all, congratulations on winning the Defensive Player of the Year."

SEG was still very polite, he didn't ask any questions at first, but he congratulated Tang Tian first.

"Thank you, your outfit tonight is also very stylish."

Tang Tian also came to a wave of business blowing.

Saige was amused by Tang Tian and laughed.

"You were very successful defending Kobe Bryant tonight, how did you do that?"

After Saige finished politely, he then asked.

How did he defend Kobe Bryant tonight?

He didn't defend much!

Even because of Kobe's change in shooting speed, his defense tonight is actually not perfect compared to the past.

That's the answer.

"No, my defense is average, it's just Kobe Bryant's own bad hand tonight."

Tang Tian chose to tell the truth.

After listening to what Tang Tian said, Saige gave him a thumbs up, and gave him a very favorable look.

Modest!

Young people are so modest!

Tang Tian was a little embarrassed, Saige really misunderstood what he meant.

But at this point, it seems that no explanation is useless.

He didn't bother to explain.

Tang Tian was too lazy to explain, but the news report of ESPN after the game made him cry and laugh.

"The most humble best defensive player, the best defender."

This news headline makes people want to complain.

"He shot 7 of 30 from Kobe Bryant in the Western Conference semifinals, but he modestly said that his defense still has room for improvement, and said that it was just because Kobe Bryant didn't feel good, and when a sophomore rookie can have such a mentality, his future is worth looking forward to......

Looking at the content of the news report, Tang Tian could only smile wryly and shake his head.

This is really the first time he's been in this situation.

I don't let people tell the truth.

It makes him look really humble!

Although he is indeed relatively low-key, this time he really didn't want to be deliberately low-key!
