Linda went to the neighborhood to buy a lottery ticket after Zhou Yang played with the team~ She thinks the Lakers will win tonight! So there should be no mistake this time. She bought it once in Pennsylvania during the regular season.

However, the odds were 1:3 that time, and she lost 600 at once after investing $200. Fortunately, Linda's living expenses were enough to spend at that time.

She doesn't buy it every game. Just for fun~ I bought a note when I thought it was interesting. Today she suddenly remembered this and bought another bet. 1:2, invested $500.

The kind of Linda with big odds of hundreds doesn't dare to play. You can only play this relatively low. The rest of the time, Linda went to the supermarket and bought a lot of snacks and came back~ The $500 is her living expenses~ and all the expenses of coming to Los Angeles are reimbursed by Zhou Yang~

......

"As you can see, the Lakers are a lot better on the front line right now. While defending Kobe, pay more attention to Odom, the players on Cook's side ......" Popovich immediately walked over and said a few words to the players as if he had thought of something.

The Lakers aren't an Odom right now. Their two players, Zhou Yang and Wharton, do have some ability. And in the playoffs, the Lakers don't need to play too well, as long as they can pass or shoot at critical times!

In the playoffs, sometimes some details are eliminated without noticing! The Lakers have really been as some media outlets have said this season. They're back!

Not long after, the old man suddenly looked at the arena with some surprise. The Lakers' starters for tonight have been confirmed. They are O'Neal, Zhou Yang, Wharton, Kobe and Smush!

Zhou Yang actually played the first game today! So is Wharton! Jackson actually asked Zhou Yang to come up in preparation for Odom to quickly defeat the Spurs in the back! Let's make the team's overall combat power not so strong first. Then slowly come up and defeat the opponent when you are in the back!

"Then the station is...... Isn't that the position of a power forward? Phil understood immediately after he said nonchalantly to Vincent. The starters on the Spurs' side are Nazre, Duncan, Ginobili, Brent, Parker!

Duncan: If Jackson guessed correctly, he started playing power forward tonight!! At this time, the Zen master is ready to pause! At the beginning, Zhou Yang didn't joke when he faced the other party's Duncan.

Nazr took the lead and got the rebound and passed to Ginobili!

San Antonio made a lot of adjustments in this game. First of all, Ginobili came to the number three position! Then Duncan defends the opposing power forward! Anyway, letting the stone Buddha defend against O'Neill sometimes still doesn't have much effect.

Then in this case, the Lakers will not be so easy on the side of the big and small forwards in the first place! If something goes wrong with them, the Spurs can also fight back quickly! The Spurs are also the team that has experienced the Finals and won the championship!

They are still very calm on the field!

Parker took advantage of Brandt's body to take advantage of the basketball on the outside and immediately jumped to the net from a long distance!

"Defend him! Lakers! Zhou Yang! Linda in the room grabbed a handful of snacks and stuffed them into her mouth and shouted~ Several footprints immediately appeared on the bed.

Kobe Bryant asked for the ball directly, and immediately after half time, he got up and passed Brent directly, and saw Zhou Yang immediately run over and laughed, and then hit a three-point shot next to him!!

In these playoffs, Kobe Bryant already trusted Zhou Yang more. For the Lakers, Kobe Bryant won't think of him for a while. However, Zhou Yang, who played as a substitute in the game, was still more powerful.

Especially in the previous game, after Zhou Yang was strictly guarded by the Spurs, the next game used a more unique way to prove that he was capable. From this point of view, Kobe Bryant thinks that he still has more personality.

If the Lakers come to a player who can only play silently and does not have good results, he will naturally not feel that the other party has any advantages. You can choose to play silently, but with good results. For example, Yao Ming of the Rocket Team.

And now he has also discovered that Zhou Yang is the third player among the Lakers players who dares to spray with him on the court and in the locker room! This is interesting~ Who gave him courage? Does the team have a three-plus $10 million contract?

"Relax," Kobe Bryant patted Zhou Yang on the shoulder and ran over.

Zhou Yang didn't talk. Kobe Bryant's sudden smile just now made him not react for a while. For Kobe, who is usually used to being cold, he suddenly smiled, and people were always defenseless.

Just like yourself in a previous life. Every time I see Kobe Bryant smiling, I feel so handsome!

The heart that mentioned the throat and eyes went back at this time. Jackson wanted to see how far Zhou Yang and Wharton could play. Just now, all my attention was on the stone Buddha. Only now did I notice that Luke's defender is a demon knife!

Ginobili suddenly broke free of Wharton's defense, and immediately after getting Parker's pass, he made a feint to deceive Zhou Yang and scored points after a jumper! The Spurs feel like this adjustment is making them much more comfortable in the game right now!

Smush didn't shoot a three-point jump shot after halftime! O'Neill, Duncan, Nazel and Zhou Yang almost jumped together! After Zhou Yang got the rebound, he immediately made a shooting move and passed the ball to O'Neal!

Ao Fat almost didn't react, and the basketball almost hit him in the face...... Duncan found out that he couldn't take it back! Immediately, he and Zhou Yang fell out! The big shark seized the opportunity to rush to Nazr for a powerful and heavy buckle!

The ensuing scene stunned the audience! O'Neal actually made a free throw! He immediately ran over and high-fived Kobe Bryant after playing 2+1~

With Brent scoring on a jumper. Phil was about to ask for a timeout.

"Zhou Yang played the third position. Odom and O'Neal defend rebounds. For the opponent's current style of play, it is necessary to properly wrap the clip. Zhou Yang, this point, Smush and Kobe Bryant should pay more attention......"

The Zen master knew that such a situation was only short-lived. Immediately, the opponent's Duncan and Ginobili will use their advantages to break through quickly! After listening to a few words, Luke returned to the bench after the coach finished speaking.

At the moment, the Lakers don't have a fast No. 3 spot! If you compare, Zhou Yang is the second striker with good speed besides Odom! And he seems to be slightly faster than Odom in terms of speed.

But the data is not as good and stable as Odom. These teams can understand, after all, they are newcomers who have just entered their first year in the NBA. If you want to suppress the other party's demon knife, you have to rely on Zhou Yang now!

And if you add the help of the defenders, it is estimated that there will be no problem in Ginobili.

As for the No. 4 position, Odom himself is now the main player of the team.

After returning from the game, Ginobili immediately felt nervous when he saw Zhou Yang playing. In the playoffs, Zhou Yang's several caps are still fresh in his memory. This kid is different from the average player!

A lot of times it seems like he or his teammates are going to have the wrong predictions...... And this kid is not slow. It's really uncomfortable to think about.

Zhou Yang's movements slowed down! His eyes were always on the running of Odom and Shaq! The demon knife understood, Zhou Yang is now pretending to shoot and then passing!!

He cheated Duncan just now! It's time for me to cap you this time!!

After pulling it out, Odom also found that Zhou Yang was constantly determining his and O'Neal's current position! At this moment, Zhou Yang suddenly jumped up, but Ginobili did not meet the defense, but jumped on the spot!

At this time, just when the demon knife thought that Zhou Yang would suddenly pass the ball, he found that his body leaned back and threw the ball out......

Three points in the account! 9：6！ Ginobili shook his head and smiled when he saw Parker. Brent held the ball across the half, and Duncan got his pass and jumped directly to be defended by Odom!

After Zhou Yang got the basketball, he passed the ball directly to Kobe. When the ball reached the hands of the Black Mamba, the hearts of the Spurs players sank directly. Kobe Bryant quickly rushed to the front court and directly pulled out a jumper and hit a three-point shot into the basket!

After a few rounds, the Spurs players exchanged ideas with each other. Duncan went back to play center, and Nazr returned to the No. 4 position.

This is Popovich's plan B!

After Ginobili got the basketball, he used Nazel's body to pass Zhou Yang directly, and immediately passed the ball in the air to Duncan. The latter passed the ball again to Parker, who was already in the bottom corner, and Parker hit a direct three-point shot when no one was guarded!

The Zen master saw the Spurs' score in this round and suddenly took his hand off his chin. Attention is also a little more focused. This round, the opponent's style of play seems to have changed. The offense will not be biased towards the forwards anymore.

The Spurs' speed, number of matches and patience to find opportunities have all increased at this time! The Lakers, for their part, haven't noticed that yet.

Kobe Bryant was a little weak-hearted...... He should have been there just now. Odom scored a jumper after getting a pass from Smush! Parker caught the ball and sped up!

After the demon knife ran a few steps and got the basketball, a feint shook off Zhou Yang who had just come over, and then rushed to the basket and passed the ball to Duncan. The latter seemed to know that he was going to pass the ball, and before the Lakers could react, he jumped up and dunked in the air to score points!

After that, the stone Buddha pointed at Ginobili and ran over. When I passed by him, I didn't forget to touch Ginobili's head......

Bryant took the basketball and didn't shoot a three-point jump shot from Parker! Nazr gets the ball next to Odom and passes to the Knife. Parker received the basketball and rushed straight to the frontcourt, but suddenly stopped.

Duncan took the basketball behind him and ran a few steps hard before scoring a one-handed dunk! This is the last game against the Spurs. The coaches of both sides are not forced to do so, and they will not take a timeout easily.

Jackson was already walking on the sidelines by this time. If the other party continues to play like this, the Lakers will soon fall into passivity.

After Zhou Yang got Kobe's pass, he directly hit the ground and passed to Ao Fat. The big shark still dunked and scored points under the defense of the two!

......

At 26:23 in the first quarter, the Spurs temporarily took the lead. The score at the end of the first half was 50:45! Both teams had a good offense today! The defense is also ok. The Lakers' defense is a little tougher. Because the Spurs feel like they're playing better and better now!

In the second quarter, Zhou Yang was replaced by Cook, and Mime replaced O'Neal. Until the end of the first half, the score could not be equalized.

"It's important not to chase the other person's rhythm. And we're going to slow it down. Always waiting for the opponent's pass and the attack of other players. Offensively, if you can't open the inside, teach the ball to Kobe and Fisher......"

The game came to the third quarter. Will the Lakers take the opportunity to overtake or will the Spurs continue to pull the score apart in this quarter? The Zen master felt that this competition was very important for them.

"The two main things you have to remember are to make fewer mistakes and score more! The players who didn't play in the first half also saw it. With this kind of cooperation, you can basically win the game with the Lakers. Be careful of Odom on the inside, and pay more attention to his defense if Shaq doesn't come back......"

Popovich was quite satisfied with his team's performance in the first half. Against such a lineup, it will not be easy for them to keep the lead around 5 points.

Besides, the Lakers played well at the beginning of the game. When they led the team by six points, the Spurs simply overtook the score and held the lead until now.

After returning, the Spurs' lineup is Nazre, Bowen, Finley, Brent, Parker. The Lakers are Meme, Odom, Wharton, Kobe and Fisher!

Zhou Yang sat on the sidelines at this time and watched the game quietly. The players on both sides are calmer now. They are still in a different mood than they are on the field.

Wharton got Odom's serve and slowly moved up to the frontcourt. After seeing Luke's movements, Meme immediately rushed out, got the basketball, turned around and jumped shot, and was given a solid hot pot by Bowen!

Finley jumps up for the basketball and saves the ball! Brent ran over to get the basketball and rushed to the front court with the ball. Finley, who had just flown off the field to save the ball, got up from the ground and immediately followed up!

Parker got the basketball and passed the ball to Finley, who was playing with the Lakers when suddenly Nazr took the ball and scored a jumper! 52：45！ The Lakers' players on the scene were a little messed up.

And the Spurs just made all kinds of passes like they were training there! The movements are smooth and tacit. Kobe Bryant was going to basketball, facing Parker and Brent's three-point jumper!

Nazel and Bowen both jumped at the same time next to Mime! Brent got a pass from Bowen in basketball. When you feel that it is not the right time to pass the ball twice, you can shoot a three-point shot by yourself!

The difference has suddenly widened to 10 points! The Zen master looked back at Zhou Yang and O'Neill on the bench at this time, and finally did not want to pause.

Kobe Bryant still wanted the ball, rushed to the basket under the bag of the two, and let Nazr receive the fourth foul of the game and then played 2+1!

The Lakers are already a bit of a mess at this point. Odom couldn't get the ball there, and when O'Neal came on, everyone was still a little bit bottom. Whether it's a pass to the big sharks or an offense, there's a big guy waiting there under the basket.

At this time, it seems that they can only rely on Kobe Bryant on the field. The Spurs are so fluid right now!
