So this season they continue to meet in the playoffs, so that fans are very much looking forward to it, after all, this season's Pacers' performance is eye-catching, if it is not for the early trade pains of the season, it is estimated that the Pacers' regular season record can even be better than the Cavaliers, so everyone is still very much looking forward to their performance.

And the match in the West is even more Mars meets the Earth, the game between the Warriors who are second in the West and the Pelicans who are third in the West, this intensity can even be compared with the finals, after all, the top three in the West who enter the final finals will not be surprising, the combat effectiveness of these three teams can definitely be ranked in the first echelon of the league at present, the Lakers naturally need not say much, sitting on Ye Xuan, the strongest weapon in the league, as long as the other players can play a little better, it is enough to dominate the league, The Warriors are the first team in history to have two peak regular season MVP teams, and this kind of combat effectiveness cannot be ignored, and the same is true for the Pelicans, who are in third place, although they do not have a regular season MVP winner in their team, but their team's combat effectiveness is also very terrifying, and they are also the strongest team in the league.

Of course, it doesn't mean that the Lakers' second-round opponent Spurs are not strong, everyone knows that the Spurs' playoffs are absolutely terrifying, and judging from the fact that they easily defeated the Rockets in the first round, the Spurs' combat effectiveness is definitely inconsistent with his ranking of fifth in the West, which can also be attributed to the various rotations of the old man Zhuge Vic, the main players of the Spurs this season, basically no one can play 75 games, Leonard, who played the most games in the season, only played 72 games, that is, unconsciously, Leonard was rotated for ten games, not to mention that Ade only played 66 games, and Ginobili and Parker also played about 60 games, and the playing time has also decreased significantly compared to previous seasons.

After all, the Lakers swept the Spurs in the regular season, but the Lakers can't take it lightly, after all, the opponent's playoff experience is very rich, and the Lakers' benches have less playoff experience, including Clarkson and others, who basically haven't played in the playoffs.

In the blink of an eye, the first game of the second round of the playoffs between the Lakers and the Spurs kicked off at the Staples Arena in Los Angeles, Lakers fans finally enjoyed the feeling of dominating the league 6 years ago this season, and compared with that year, the Lakers this year still have something new, they also have a future, and now it seems that Ye Xuan's stay is almost confirmed, and the Lakers will definitely propose an early contract extension after the end of this season. And as long as the contract offered by the Lakers is not too bad, Ye Xuan should not refuse, after all, this team is already Ye Xuan's most perfect place.

As long as there is Ye Xuan, who is now considered the strongest player in the league, in the team, then it is not easy for the Lakers to recruit other big-name stars, even if Wade Gasol retires or leaves, the Lakers can still ensure that they are at the forefront of the league, so this year's Lakers fans are even more excited than before, and during the appearance ceremony, the cheers of the fans are also louder and louder, from Artest, who has barely gained playing time, to Hibbert, who was traded to the team, From the bench wonder Ni Young to the Lakers' own draft pick, Randle, the cheers were louder and louder, and of course, when it was Ye Xuan's turn to play, the cheers on the scene also came to the peak.

After the appearance ceremony, the game between the two teams began immediately, the referee threw the ball high, and the inside line of the two teams suddenly jumped towards the basketball together, Aldridge took the lead in touching the basketball and slapped the ball into Parker's hands, Ye Xuan was also active as always, and immediately stepped forward to force and try to make the opponent's mistakes, but Parker's experience is still very rich, and the change of direction after a crotch change of hands avoided Ye Xuan, and then he was about to break inward, The Lakers' defenders didn't know if the game had just started so they were inattentive or what's going on, so they didn't have time to step forward to make up for the defense, Parker rushed to the Lakers' free throw line all the way, at this time Parker didn't think much about it, and was directly ready to make a jump shot here, but he didn't expect that the reason why the Lakers' defense didn't keep up was because Ye Xuan behind him had quietly followed, and at the moment he shot basketball, Ye Xuan jumped high and fanned the ball out of the sideline. At the same time, he also got the first technical stat of this game - a block.

The Spurs served on the sideline, Parker held the ball at the top of the arc again, this time he didn't dare to handle the ball at will, according to the previous tactical arrangement, he hoisted the ball into the inside line and handed it to Jefferson, Jefferson wanted to single Gasol, who is not known for hand-to-hand combat, it is still relatively easy, but the Lakers obviously will not give him a chance to play back, and immediately sent Solomon Hill to wrap up, Jefferson also immediately divided the ball, Leonard on the outside received the ball and shook Wade, who was making up for the defense, and took a step inward to pull it up to shoot in the middle, Hit the ball.

The Lakers serve in the backcourt, Ye Xuan slowly holds the ball and advances to the front court after receiving the serve, and the defensive player he faces is naturally Leonard, in this game, Ye Xuan has already thought about what he needs to do, that is, to try to help his teammates find the feeling of offense, so that at least the team can score steadily, otherwise if he has been attacking with the ball at this point, once the opponent chooses to use other players other than Leonard to wrap me together, and at this time his teammates feel bad, Most of the game was lost, so this time Ye Xuan did not attack by himself, but chose to pass.

The Lakers' tactics were originally relatively few, basically the players on the court played more on the spot, after Gasol received Ye Xuan's pass, he decisively chose to break through Jefferson head-on, if he wanted to play with his back, then he would definitely not be able to carry Jefferson, but if you want to talk about footsteps, Gasol is really more dominant, but the inside duel, there will always be others to interfere, Parker touched it at this time, fortunately, Gasol reacted quickly and directly divided the ball, Wade received the ball from the outside and dipped a shot, then broke through to the inside line, and forced a layup against Aldridge to hit the ball.

The defense of the Spurs side has actually done a good job, but Wade's finishing ability is really strong, this ball can only be said that Wade scored with strength, and the Spurs' offense did not stop, after the backcourt serve, Parker quickly advanced to the frontcourt, and then called Aldridge to block and dismantle, and then looked back at the moon to send the ball back to Ade's hands, at this time Ade was at the top of the arc and took a step inward, the same shot, and hit the ball steadily.

In fact, the Spurs' style of play is much more antique than the Lakers, Warriors, Rockets, and even the Cavaliers, especially the Rockets. This season, under the leadership of D'Antoni, the Rockets ranked first in the league in the number of three-pointers per game, and the number of shots per game was the second in the league, the main reason is that the Rockets' offense has almost only two options, either to break through to the interior and pursue a higher shooting percentage closer to the basket, or to pursue the scoring efficiency of scoring three points with one shot outside the three-point line. The same situation also appears in the Warriors and the Lakers, the Warriors will make mid-range shots, except for Durant who holds the ball alone, only the three-point shooting rate is average, but Livingston has a high back-to-back jump shot rate, and the Lakers are the same, the big three Ye Xuan's mid-range shots are basically pull-up jump shots after breaking through, and the same is true for Wade, Gasol is after blocking and dismantling the first two, and the mid-range shots after receiving the return pass, and rarely hit shots at other times.

The Spurs are different, they will develop some mid-range shooting tactics, such as the goal scored by Ade just now, which is a strategy to run specifically for mid-range shooting. In fact, in the current era when you are embarrassed to say that you are here to play basketball if you score no more than 100, the Spurs' style of play can be said to be a little backward, but their strength lies in their ability to execute tactics very effectively, and the end point is often able to hit the ball stably, so their record can be ranked relatively high.

However, in terms of scoring efficiency, it is better to have a three-point shot, after the Lakers served in the backcourt, Ye Xuan chose a fast three-point shot, and after advancing to the front court, he took advantage of the opportunity of his teammates passing by to the side and pulled a step to the side, pulling it up is a three-point shot, the three-point shot hit steadily, overtaking the score, and the audience cheered, which is why the current team will pursue the three-point shooting rate more. But if you shoot a three-pointer, you will get 1.5 times the benefit of a mid-range shot.

Of course, how to choose the way to attack, it still depends on the team to decide, the Spurs Jefferson has no three-point ability, so they want to open up space to use sudden points to seek empty three-point opportunities will naturally be more difficult, so the old man also took advantage of them and is ready to start from the inside, which is naturally also a correct choice, Jefferson asked for the ball inside, and after receiving the ball, several other people all pulled to the weak side, giving Jefferson a chance to play alone, this time the Lakers did not dare to easily wrap up, After all, the opponent pulled too wide, but fortunately, Jefferson's hand was not very good today, and this time the hook hand after turning his back did not hit the ball.

Randle took the rebound and quickly sent the ball to Wade's hands, Ye Xuan had already rushed to the opponent's half court at full speed at this time, and behind him was Leonard, who was chasing after him, Wade saw that there was no chance to pass the ball, so he could only bring the ball to the front court by himself, Ye Xuan quickly declared a failure this time, but he still came out from the inside again, Wade passed the ball to him and ran inward, Ye Xuan was also very witty, and after receiving the ball, he also broke inward, and used his rhythm to shake off the Leonard who was chasing the defense and then faced Ade to be strong, Ade hurriedly jumped up to block it, but Ye Xuan gently sent the ball away, and sent the ball from Ade's crotch to Wade, who was also inside, and the latter easily layup to score two more points.

In the next round, the Spurs still chose to attack inside, but Jefferson's inside singles still ended in iron, Gasol, who took off the rebound, did not live up to Ye Xuan's fast down this time, and teleported the ball to Ye Xuan's hands with a super long distance, although there was still a Leonard behind him who was chasing after him, but Ye Xuan received the ball and basically announced that this fast attack was completed, two steps into the three-point line, Ye Xuan decisively took a slow three steps, and when Leonard was ready to block, Ye Xuan slowly made a layup action, and deliberately hooked his waist, so that Leonard's hand could not reach the basketball in Ye Xuan's hand at all, but this slap slapped down, hitting Ye Xuan's arm, not only hit quickly, but also caused Leonard's foul, at this time, Wade behind Ye Xuan also ran over and high-fived Ye Xuan to celebrate.

On the Spurs' side, when the old man Zhuge Vic saw that the situation was not good, he immediately called a timeout, ready to rearrange the team's tactics, and at the same time let the momentum that the Lakers just mentioned slow down a little, otherwise if they continue to play, the game is likely to be pulled away by the opponent directly with a wave of high chao.

The audience at the scene naturally cheered during this pause, and the atmosphere was gradually brought up by Ye Xuan's quick down. At the end of the timeout, Wade stepped onto the free throw line and hit the ball safely. The Spurs can only serve in the backcourt, this time the Spurs did not continue to let Jefferson play alone, but Parker broke through with the ball, and then Jefferson blocked and dismantled, after blocking and dismantling, Jefferson took advantage of the situation and attacked the Lakers' basket with Parker's ball, but this time their tactics had problems again, that is, Parker and Jefferson's blocking and dismantling were not able to get rid of Ye Xuan, and as a result, Parker was almost broken by Ye Xuan when he was in charge, and in the end, although Jefferson still held the basketball, he had already grabbed it with Ye Xuan, In the end, the referee awarded a jump ball.

Naturally, you don't have to think much about the jump ball result, although Ye Xuan is the champion of the slam dunk contest, but his bounce power is not good enough without the adjustment of the entertainment system, plus Ye Xuan has no experience in jumping the ball, so the jump ball finally won by Jefferson, but the Spurs have not much offensive time left at this time, Ade can only reluctantly dribble a few steps after receiving the ball, and then shoot, fortunately, his luck is not bad, this three-point shot actually hit directly.
