Elliott is not slow, but his body is not strong enough, and his confrontation ability is at least one and a half grades worse than Zhang Zhu, which is a very fatal disadvantage. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Last year, Elliott played against Drexler in the playoffs, and although it can't be said to be blown up, it was also an all-round inferior.

Now he is even more unreasonable, and he won't let go of Zhang Yu who grabs his sore feet, he is really a little bit beaten.

Although Drexler is better than Elliott in all aspects, the two are about the same age, so there are not many links that can really crush it, so Elliott's counterpoint glider can also resist a little bit and not be swept away.

Zhang is different, he may not be better than the experienced Elliott in some areas, but he shows a crushing stance in a number of areas, such as the physical parts.

This creates an opponent that Drexler can't beat, but can make Zhang Fu play a crushing situation.

The Spurs are not without personnel at the No. 3 position, and Chuck Person was a star shooter who could be compared to Reggie Miller in previous seasons, and was an All-Star at his peak, but the problem is that he was not a good defensive player at his peak.

Apart from these two, the Spurs have no reliable players, and there are no players who can be considered good defensively in the second position, and it is an extravagant hope to find a player who can defend Zhang Mao in a misplaced position at this moment.

In the second half of the first quarter, Zhang Mao, who played a feeling, kept attacking with the ball. With Magic and Cebaros on the floor anyway, the Spurs didn't dare to wrap themselves up, and he just went crazy scoring points on Elliott and Chuck Person.

Harris nodded, it seems that dealing with the Spurs can make Cebaros play a dozen more, Finley's athleticism and defensive superiority cannot be maximized against the Spurs, and no one in the Spurs team has the ability to handle the ball to reach the second or third position of the All-Star, and no matter how good the defense is, it will not be of much use.

The Spurs' main scoring guard Vinnie De Nagro is a shooter, Chuck Person is also a shooter, and even Elliott is a good projection player.

With such an outside lineup, the Lakers can cope with the combination of Sebaros + Zhang Mao.

Bob Hill is a little helpless about this, these perimeter shots are all configured to help David Robinson open up space, and now they are a bit cocooned.

At the end of the first quarter, the score was 29:26, and the Lakers relied on Zhang Mao's second half to go crazy, leading the Spurs by 3 points in the first quarter.

It's not a big lead, but the Lakers are firmly in control of the situation on the court and have been pressing the Spurs to play.

The Spurs are now just three points behind, relying on David Robinson's red-hot touch and some long-range ballooning from other players.

But if you count on the explosion of the team's core and these unreliable long-range shots, the Spurs will be taken away sooner or later after encountering a scoring drought, and the game of relying on the sky will not last a whole game.

Bob Hill was more concerned about the situation with the Lakers, Zhang only exploded in the second half of the first quarter, and the Lakers relied on his teammates in the first half.

Even, even if he doesn't stand up in the second half, the Lakers should have players who can stand up.

This means that the Lakers are not putting their eggs in one basket, and the Spurs can only put their hopes on David Robinson and make a high judgment.

He couldn't imagine that if David Robinson couldn't continue to play well on both ends of the floor, who else would be able to step up and carry the flag?

Zhang Qi only relied on the second half of the first quarter to get 9 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists.

Lakers fans are naturally excited, because when Zhang can get such an all-around performance in the first quarter, he usually goes in the direction of a "triple-double". And some media have made a statistic for him - when Zhang Mao got a triple-double, the Lakers' winning rate reached 90.9%.

This season, Zhang has a total of 11 triple-doubles, and the Lakers have only lost one game in these 11 games, and the winning percentage is very easy to calculate, even if the United States does not have a ninety-nine multiplication formula.

In the second quarter, neither team overused their core.

The Spurs didn't keep Robinson, who scored 13 points, on the court, and Zhang sat on the sidelines to watch the game, and neither team plans to pay for this game to increase the risk of core injuries.

Harris and Bob will also have to watch the performance of their own rotation, and the Lakers have the advantage in this regard.

The strength of the Spurs' main players is inferior to that of the Lakers, and the bench is even worse.

Lakers fans are also a little puzzled when they see their team still pressing the Spurs in rotation time, why can the Spurs keep ranking above their team for most of the season? It can be seen from this game that the strength of their own team is stronger.

That's right, the Lakers did not have a Magic at the beginning of the season, and there were some battles within the team, mainly because Zhang Yu had not yet clarified his status at the beginning of the season, and the chemistry of the Lakers was far worse than now, and it was at that time that the Spurs and the SuperSonics opened up some gaps, and they had to catch up after the run-in at the moment.

The Lakers' real explosion came after the All-Star breakout, when the Magic were fully integrated into the team and the rest of the team found their niche, and the team was able to build excellent chemistry to catch up with the gap that was pulled down at the beginning.

If the Lakers are at their current strength from the beginning of the season, it is unknown whether the SuperSonics can guarantee their first spot in the West.

Under the Bulls' unnatural performance this season, many people have ignored that Magic + Zhang Qi is also a historical-level combination, which is enough to leave a page of its own in the long history of the NBA.

At 6:05 in the second quarter, the Lakers replaced Zhang after the dead ball.

David Robinson was brought on two minutes ago, and the Spurs couldn't play without the "general" who turned over the middle and in the box, and blocked the Lakers' offense in the box on the defensive end.

The score was 39:37, and the Lakers didn't need Zhang Qiu to go up as an arrow, and they could still maintain the lead in the first quarter, but they looked good when Zhang Qiu was not on the court.

After Zhang Yu came on the court, he needed to let Lakers fans deepen their impression of himself, and some people in the province really thought that they could win without themselves, which did not exist......

So, the first touch of the ball after coming on the field, Chuck Person found that Zhang Qi had disappeared from his eyes?

The former All-Star is very much in line with the law of degradation in this era, most players decline in a straight line after the age of 30, and this man began to degrade significantly in the 93-94 season, this season is basically only the ability to shoot three-pointers, the pace is at least two notches behind Zhang Zhu, and his defense is much worse than Elliott, at least the latter's pace can barely keep up.

David Robinson was not only the backbone of the team on the offensive end today, but also on the defensive end, otherwise the Spurs would still not have to play.

This time, his defense was a step slower, and Zhang Zhu showed his reaction and wit, deliberately slowing down and leaning towards the "Admiral", wanting to use the rhythm and his strong body to make a foul.

David Robinson has a lot of experience, he knows that his reaction and action speed are still far behind those of Jordan and Zhang Mao, and if his brain rushes up as soon as it is hot, he will be fouled once, and he has already had this kind of lesson many times.

Zhang Yu saw that the other party was not fooled, and felt a little pity in his heart, so he raised his hand and threw it casually, and the basketball fell into the ball frame.

"Flying in our airspace!"

The Lakers have been going well lately, and Zhang Qi rarely shouts such words.

But the playoffs are just around the corner, and if that's the kind of morale boost and can hit the opponent at the same time, he'll have to shout two words after scoring a great goal.

This sentence is very annoying, especially Zhang Qi also took advantage of the situation to make a plane gliding celebration posture after scoring the goal, which hit the opponent's mentality even more and improved his morale.

The "Plane Glide" celebration pose is not unique to him, and it is one of the most common celebratory poses in the NBA.

But at this moment, it is made by Zhang Zhu, which is even more beautiful in the eyes of fans, which is his personal charm.

Zhang Zhu's goal greatly boosted the team's morale, and the Lakers then used a wide range of pressing to defend the Spurs' offense, and then quickly launched a three-line fast attack, and Zhang Qi scored another goal.

David Robinson was so angry that Zhang Yi deliberately broke through in his direction, as if he was a weakness in the Spurs' defense.

The reason why Zhang Zhu did this is very simple, he doesn't care if David Robinson is a big four center, and he doesn't care if his defense is good or bad, since the last time you gave in to me in defense, then I have to inch in, keep hitting you until I can't play anymore.

This time he scored again, and next time he will come again, just endlessly.

This aggressive attitude made David Robinson's mentality a little broken, and then he also missed on the offensive end.

Zhang Qi really attacked Robinson again, and finally assisted Bison to score a basket in the front and back, and the Spurs will have signs of blood collapse.

Bob Hill saw that Zhang Qi scored points on Robinson twice in a row, but the latter missed Bison alone, and immediately called a timeout to let the "Admiral" calm down.

In just a few rounds, the Lakers turned the score to 45:37, Zhang Yu was completely Jordan-like in this minute, and if he didn't call a timeout, the Spurs would be taken away by this guy in a wave.

"That's too strong, isn't it?"

Bob Hill and many people who were secretly following this game were amazed at Zhang Mao's amazing performance in this minute.

This guy is really as terrifying as a poisonous snake, as long as he seizes the opportunity, even Robinson dares to use it as a breakthrough, and almost let him bite to death.

It's really not like a 19-year-old rookie, it's more like a 29-year-old Jordan, who exudes a lethal aura all over his body.

Thankfully, David Robinson was able to calm down in time after a lot of battles.

At this time, if it is replaced by O'Neill, it is estimated that the fat man's mentality will be blown up by at least half, and it is no wonder that he can't play Zhang Qi.

Zhang Mao's mentality has always been very good, he likes to find ways to provoke other big names, but he doesn't bother to compete with these guys. He's too cunning, and he knows that even if he is defeated, it won't be a shame against these long-established stars.

In fact, at the end of the day, he is just a rookie, so there is no need to be nervous at all, which allows him to play his full ability in every big scene, and many times can make the opposite star mentality unbalanced.

After David Robinson calmed down, he also began to increase the number of points he gave to his teammates.

The "Admiral" knew very well at this moment that his pressure was much greater than that of Zhang Mao.

Even if that kid doesn't attack with the ball, he can rely on his teammates to create opportunities for him.

But he has to create opportunities for his teammates by himself, so strictly speaking, if the highlight of this game is his matchup with Zhang Mao, it will be really unfair to him.

However, in the NBA, there is no such thing as "fairness".

Even if it is two evenly matched teams, the referee's decision will make fans on both sides feel unfair.

The only competitive games that can be called fair in this world should be tennis and chess, basketball and football are the most unfair games, and they are all sports in which a referee's misjudgment can determine the outcome of a game.

The Spurs are inferior in terms of overall strength, but relying on Robinson's strength and the characteristics of being good at playing against the wind, even if they have been at a disadvantage, they will not be easily defeated and still have the ability to counterattack.

Playing against the wind is the main part of measuring the strength of a team, and all strong teams have a resilience.

Bob Hill used a first half to determine that if the Spurs want to beat the Lakers, they must not fight with the other side to attack, and must press down the rhythm to play defensive counterattacks to have hope, and try to let every round fall into the rhythm of positional battles, which can cover up the lack of athletic talent of their team to a certain extent.

The strength of the Spurs lies in their integrity, execution, and experience, and they must use their strengths to play to their strengths and avoid their weaknesses as much as possible in order to beat the Lakers.

At the end of the first half, the Spurs finally managed to keep the margin within 10 points, and the Lakers led the Spurs by nine points at 58:49.

Zhang contributed 16 points, 5 rebounds and 7 assists in the first half, compared to David Robinson's 21 points, 7 rebounds and 2 assists.

The data of the two is actually similar, Zhang Fuqiang is more explosive in scoring, and most of his 16 points are explosive in a short period of time. David Robinson doesn't have that strong scoring streak, but he's been scoring, giving the Spurs blood.

At the start of the third quarter, the Spurs' offensive and defensive tempo became slower than in the first half, and they were the first to make changes.

These old guys love this super slow pace, and the slower they play, the more their experience and execution can be used. And the veteran players can generally calm down, and they won't see that there are only five or six seconds left in the offensive time, and they will panic in their hearts. They were able to play a series of moving combinations in the final seconds of attacking time to create better scoring opportunities for themselves.

The NBA doesn't know when it starts, and some teams like to shoot in the last 8 seconds, always delaying the offense until the end.

This seems to be similar to the later CS tactics, when playing the attacker, that game also has a "fast attack flow" and a "slow attack flow", but most of the world's strong teams like to play slow attack, and weak teams mostly like to play fast attack.

These strong teams always have to stick their guns for more than a minute in the whole game, constantly releasing all kinds of feints and fake movements to lure you to death, and then drag the attack until the last tens of seconds.

A lot of times, when they bury the C4, they have less than ten seconds left, but these guys always succeed in burying the C4.

The Spurs played a similar tactic in the second half, and their first 14 seconds were more like an aimless transfer of the ball, more of a drain on the Lakers' patience. They won't really start their tactics until the last ten seconds, but they still don't rush to shoot, they still keep passing and managing, leading you to make mistakes, even if it's two or three seconds before attacking.

"What ink!"

After playing a few minutes in the third quarter, Zhang Mao's patience was a little worn out, and the Lakers also played more aggressively on the offensive end than in the first half.

However, after five minutes, the Lakers players found that the margin had been narrowed to 3 points?

Harris naturally knows what the reason is on the sidelines, the rhythm of the Spurs is indeed inked, and the Lakers except for old players like Magic and Cebaros, no one can really calm down to play Tai Chi with the Spurs.

The most annoying thing is that the Spurs' offense is so inked, but the success rate is not low.

The Lakers' concentration is often not able to concentrate until the final seconds, and the Spurs' moving ball can create good shooting opportunities even if they don't create open opportunities, which is more than enough for a team that excels at outside shooting.

They are not only affected on the defensive end, stimulated by the chain reaction, they are always beaten by the opponent in the last few seconds, and the Lakers themselves are becoming more and more impatient when attacking.

And in contrast to the Spurs, Lakers players hardly put the clock into the last ten seconds, and eight percent of them made shots.

But under the interference of the opponent's slow pace, the Lakers' fast offense is becoming more and more uncomfortable, and the success rate is getting lower and lower.

In the second half, the Spurs put more emphasis on retreat on the defensive end, don't look at the ink they played after they fell into position, but they were very fast when retreating, and the defense was the Lakers' attack, which was a bit of a bit of a fire defense rush at the beginning of the CT side in CS.

"Why can't you attack it?"

Zhang Qi really didn't understand in his heart, how smooth they played in the first half, why did they feel like they were choked in the second half?

This is why he is too young, defense is not just about "single defense" and "assistant defense", nor is it "more steals" and "more blocks".

Although the Spurs players are not as fast as them in terms of speed, they will take the shortcuts, block your fast-break route in advance, put the formation in place after the position, and do not give you room to show your personal ability, in addition to strengthening small movements and static physical confrontations, and finally adding rich experience and coordination skills, this is really good defense.

Even if the Spurs are not well-known, they can use rhythm and detail to limit the Lakers' offense, and they play to all their strengths.

This is the current flaw of the Lakers and Zhang Mao, and the more they play, the more they will expose the problem.

When the NBA gets to the playoffs, it's all about who plays more on both sides, who has more small cooperation skills, and more small details, but these all take time to accumulate.

Zhang found that he was a little out of pace in the second half, and after the game came to the second half, it seemed that he had exceeded the intensity of the regular season and entered an area that he was very uncomfortable with.

"We have to find the way we play, we have to find the rhythm of the attack that we are good at!"

Harris asked for a timeout, but he didn't think his words might be useful. This disadvantage can't be reversed in a few words, everyone will gradually grow up by being abused countless times, Jordan is also a three-in-a-row championship from losing, there is no large number of failures in previous years, and there is no crazy ravaging others that he is now.

The Magic came on the court in the middle of the third quarter, and it was only at this point that the Lakers and Zhang made the discomfort in their hearts a little less.

Obviously, at this time, the veteran can hold the field, and Zhang Qi is already a little helpless.

During this time, he didn't know what to do with the ball, and the passing routes on the court became much less than in the first half, and his breakthrough space was the same, which made him find that whether he went to play alone or break through the ball, the efficiency was much lower than in the first half, and he couldn't think of a way to break the game for a while.

After the magician came on the court, Zhang Fu hurriedly handed the ball to him, and resumed his off-ball play, while secretly observing how the magician would handle the ball at such a time.

"Don't be in a hurry, look at the way I look!"

When the magician comes on the court, he encourages his teammates first, and that's pretty much what he says.

David Robinson had already scored 6 points in the third quarter, and Zhang Wei only scored 2 points, and it took 3 shots, during which time he was finally compared to the "Admiral".

After the Magic came on the court, David Robinson continued to maintain his strong offensive firepower, facing the Lakers' interior bag to score another 2 points, and it was also a speed-changing offense, completing the shot in the 9th second of offensive time.

The Spurs are playing an abrasive slow offense right now, but it doesn't mean that they will play like this every round, and they will still have a fast offense when they have the chance, which is more unexpected and can hit the mentality of the Lakers players more.

Especially after the Magic came on the court, they suddenly came to such a sudden, it is estimated that the mentality of the Lakers players is really about to collapse, right?

"Calm down! The more this time, the more we have to be calm! ”

The magician was a little unhappy, but he was also a veteran of a hundred battles, and he had never seen any scenes and suffered any blows?

Now this little meaning doesn't affect him.

The Magic can stabilize the rhythm than Zhang Zhu, but he is not ready to let the young players on the team be like him, and the Lakers' style of play has become very strange for a while - Magic and Cebaros are braking quietly, Zhang Zhu is moving around the court at high speed, still playing the fast pace that he should have at his age, Van Exel continues to play in the jungle, and Campbell is ready to cover his teammates at any time.

So is this a positional offense, or a star single, or is it a fixed-point shot and pick-and-roll?

Also, who is the main attack point of the current Lakers?

The Spurs players are also a question mark in their heads, no matter how the Lakers look at it, it looks like they are playing separately, and everyone's rhythm of the game is a strong personal style, not like a whole at all.

"That's right!"

Harris is so happy that they play their own style of the Lakers, so they don't need so many routines, as long as they play everyone's style, and then hand over the passing task to Magic or Zhang Mao, they don't have to worry about them really going their own way.

Because they have two axes, they are dual-core, enough to create an eerie balance and order in this seemingly chaotic situation.

If you use Chinese to describe it, this is a way of playing without a move, and it is the highest level in all competitive fields.

The pressure on Zhang Zhu's body finally lightened, although there was no specific tactical arrangement, but he could run on his own according to the opponent's formation and position, so he was not really fighting nonsense.

But he will be very demanding of the passer when he plays like this, because he is running according to the defense he interprets, and if the passer can't guess his intentions, it is basically impossible to make a threatening pass to him.

However, it is the magician who is holding the ball at the moment, so there is naturally no need to worry about this.

Zhang Qian only needs to use his own consciousness to run, and the task of passing the ball is completely handed over to the magician - as long as others run out of the opportunity, it is the magician's responsibility to pass the ball, and this pot magician dares to carry it.

"Huh!"

At 5 minutes and 36 seconds in the third quarter, the long-lost voice of Lakers fans finally sounded.

Zhang found space by running off the ball, and hit a long-range shot to score two points after receiving a pass from the magic.

The Spurs' defensive formation was flawed by Zhang Zhu's off-ball running, and it was the cooperation of Zhang Zhu and the Magic.

From this point of view, if the Lakers want to kill the Spurs, they really have to put these two people on the court together to have a play, and at this stage, they play alone, and they all have their own flaws.

If Magic didn't have Zhang Mao and Cebaros to help him pull the defense, it would be impossible for him to hold the ball in the middle with his current size, and it would be easy to be dumpled.

Zhang Mao's problem is that he is inexperienced, once the game is too fine, he will show his shortcomings, and he still owes a lot of fire for those real fine work.

But when the two are united, they can not only complement their respective shortcomings, but also magnify their strengths.

This makes the single-core Spurs a little unbearable, but they are all relying on David Robinson alone, and the "Admiral" is now in a state where two fists are hard to beat with four hands.

At 3:44 in the third quarter, Zhang Fu once again used his running position to receive a pass, this time he attracted the defense and passed the ball to Cebaros in the air to help the baseline mouse score a 3-pointer successfully, and the Lakers regained the score at 72:70.

"It's not okay to play like this, we have to control Johnson in the middle!"

Bob Hill can't stand it anymore, Magic is too easy to hold the ball near the free throw line and two low posts after the Magic comes on the court, the Spurs can no longer let him take the ball in these positions without pressure to organize the offense, really want to play small with small details, the nickname of "Magic" itself has said everything, the Spurs really can't play this master.

But the question is, how do they make it impossible for the Magic to easily hold the ball?

Don't look at the current Magician who weighs 260 pounds, but with his ball sense and basic skills, it is impossible to interfere with his ball control and blocking one-on-one, and even the bag may not make him make a mistake, but how can they have the strength to cover the bag?

It's a tricky question, but you can't do nothing.

The Spurs still chose to move the formation closer to the Magic's position, hoping to squeeze his ball-holding space with a shrinking formation.

The Lakers' solution was simpler, they added outside offense, spread out the offensive lineup, and then added Zhang and Van Exel's ball-handling offense on the weak side, which was the equivalent of using the Magic as bait.

If the Spurs really care too much about the Magic, the two of them have more room to play.

Zhang Wei really adjusted the formation of the Spurs and continued to attack on the weak side.

The Spurs were passive for a while, they seemed to be in the embarrassment of the first half again, no one could defend Zhang Yi one-on-one, and the entire defense was once again torn apart by his brutal breakthrough violence.

At the end of the third quarter, the score was 81:74, and the Lakers once again took a seven-point lead and regained the advantage on the court.
