On April 7, the Great Western Forum Arena played a game that could largely determine the second and third places in the West, and whoever wins the head-to-head battle between the two sides will have the initiative in the playoffs home advantage. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"The Lakers and Spurs are both on 53 wins at the moment, and whoever can stand up and walk out of this arena today is second in the West." Zhang said at the pre-match press conference, "But this is our home stadium, and if they want to stand until the end, I'm afraid it's a little difficult, and I will let them lie down comfortably and go out." ”

"Our defensive goal today is to get him to shoot below 40 percent from the field and by the way let him not score 20 points, of course, if he doesn't believe it, he can try it!"

David Robinson also made a provocation at the pre-game press conference, which was to provoke Zhang Zhu and make him fall more into a solo fight, even if his shooting rate was higher than 40%, but compared to letting Zhang Zhu play 25+6+6 such all-round data, the Spurs can be regarded as limiting his play.

Zhang Wei is not stunned, this kind of little trick will not work for him, the "agitation method" has always been used by him for others, and it is too difficult to make his mentality collapse.

It's the end of the season and both teams are in good health, with no serious injuries in the squad, especially the main players who are mostly healthy.

The Spurs have been a rotation-conscious team at this time, and even David Robinson's playing time has been limited to 36 minutes by head coach Bob Hill this season, and his playing time is lower than that of older Olajuwon and Ewing, and only half a minute more than O'Neal, who has played less than 50 games.

Lakers starting lineup: Van Exel, Finley, Zhang Mao, Bison, Campbell.

Spurs starting lineup: Avery Johnson, Vinnie DeNagro, Sean Elliott, Charles Smith, David Robinson.

Harris has been increasingly fond of using Finley as the team's starter since March, and while the rookie doesn't have Cebaros' erratic movement and brilliant baseline cuts, he has better athleticism, helps Zhang Mao more defensively, and has three-point shooting and mid-range shooting ability on the offensive end, as well as good off-ball cutting ability, and is much better than Cebaros who is starting to decline in physical potential.

Cebaros can still play at All-Star level this season, but his athleticism has been declining, and he relies more on Zhang and Magic to draw him defensively. If his body continues to decline, he will likely fall below a tipping point in a season or two, when no amount of weird cuts will be able to shake off defenders.

Therefore, Harris and the Lakers management are basically in agreement, and they both want to trade Seballos while he is still valuable, which will not only make him a beautiful bargaining chip to trade other stars, but also free up a spot for Finley, and by the way, reduce the pressure on the team's salary space.

That's the way the NBA is, except for the team's cornerstone, which can't be moved, everyone else can be traded at any time.

A good team management should not only think about the present, but also think about the layout in a few years, and if a player's contract is likely to be a drag on the team in a few years, the team may still consider trading him even if he is doing well now.

Those teams that do not have a vision, or teams that are too human, can hardly remain competitive, and regular turnover is one of the essential team building secrets.

Once the game started, the Spurs used a wrap-and-wrap defense against Zhang from the start.

"To wrap or not to pack?"

Bob Hill pondered this question for several days, and finally decided to give it a try?

If it doesn't work well, then think of something else.

He's going to have to try everything he can think of, and it's better to make mistakes now than to make mistakes in the playoffs.

Therefore, the Spurs' defensive tactics are: as long as Zhang Zhen, a bastard, dares to hold the ball into the area within the three-point line, the defenders on both sides have to rush over to wrap one of them. If the players on both sides are too late, then hand over the task of the bag to the inside, in short, they must be pinched, and even Robinson has to participate in the encirclement and interception.

The purpose of the Spurs' defense is very clear, that is, to prevent Zhang Yan from having the opportunity to score directly and assist directly, if he wants not to make a mistake, he can only pass the basketball out in advance, otherwise he will try to attack under the net, and the Spurs will be happy to see him do this.

Zhang Yu looked at the fierce defense of the Spurs after the opening, and knew in his heart that it was not cost-effective to fight hard at this time, and the best choice was to secretly observe a wave first, and don't fall for any tricks.

At the same time, the Lakers' defense was a one-man defense of David Robinson, and they chose not to wrap it up.

Harris and the Spurs are the same idea, about the bag or not, Harris thought about it for several days and had no idea, and finally decided that regardless of the black cat and white cat, all the methods that can be thought of can be used to see which effect is better.

If Campbell's single defense is too bad, they can try to make substitutions, and if no one can prevent it, they can try to wrap it up, but they must try everything to gain more experience for possible encounters in the playoffs.

"I don't believe you're going to keep wrapping me up!"

Zhang Qi was not in a hurry to shoot in the face of the bag, handed the ball to Van Exel's attack first, and used his off-ball run to pull, while waiting for the opportunity to catch the ball and shoot, while observing the Spurs' determination to wrap up.

David Robinson took the lead in breaking through the layup after the opening, and the Lakers focused on the outside, Fan Maniac used the block to pass and shoot, and in the case of Zhang Zhu's start a little stealth, the Lakers still played a score of 6:6, which shows that this team is really not his one-man show, and the other players are also powerful, which can be used.

Bob Hill frowned more and more as he looked on the sidelines, and it was really difficult to deal with this kind of guy who had an explosion of physical talent and was willing to play with his brain.

As a coach, he knows very well that the hidden koala baby is more terrifying than the one who holds the ball, especially when this guy is watching the excitement, the Lakers have not fallen behind, which means that the Lakers have not done their best, they may break out at any time!

Zhang Qian didn't touch the ball much after the opening, but he used off-ball movement to effectively involve the Spurs' defensive formation, giving the Lakers other players a lot of offensive space, otherwise how could Van Exel burst into the hinterland so easily? .

The Spurs don't have this type of player like Zhang Zhu, David Robinson has to stay in the area where he can threaten the basket to attract the defense, he has to use his offense to reduce the pressure on his teammates, but compared to Zhang Zhu, who can attract the bag while watching the excitement, the two are obviously much higher in terms of tactical threat, which is a bit of a non-fight.

Miss Naomi Watts also came to the scene to watch the game today, but Zhang Mao didn't look at the fan system before the game, and ignored the young lady who was 9 years older than herself.

This young lady, who is almost ten years older than Zhang Zhu, is his real fan, but it's a pity that the card that Zhang Zhu has been hanging has always affected the two.

But the cards will never have a negative effect, but because the more they miss, the faster the young lady's favor for him increases, and this will be the case that Naomi Watts will become an interstellar player as soon as he appears next to Zhang Yu.

It sounds a bit like a, but that's Naomi Watts' personality.

The more Zhang Qian couldn't see her, the more she missed her, the more this young lady longed to meet Zhang Qi in her heart, so after using the card, this weird effect would appear.

Koala baby belongs to the moonlight clan in terms of consumption, in addition to the function of needing to save money to buy, he generally does not leave more than 10,000 points of savings, so he has always maintained the amount of equipment of six or seven cards, and after the card expires, he will buy a new one to use, which is very tyrant.

Just like now, he has as many as eight cards equipped on his body - Gold-level [Lily Laraka], Gold-level [Golden Peach Blossom Card], Gold-level [Love at First Sight Card], Gold-level [Rainy Day Card], Gold-level [Bad Luck Card], Gold-level [Unexpected Encounter Card], Platinum-level [Trick Card], Platinum-level [Invisible Wings Card].

His father's ability to run the non-ferrous and non-ferrous products of the Dragonborn Company is inseparable from the fact that Zhang Fu has always been equipped with the [Trick Card].

This card has been activated by him on his father, and after upgrading to the level 3 shop and being able to buy the platinum-level [Trick Card], Zhang Mo will come up with so many new tricks at once on April Fool's Day, and it seems that the power of the platinum-level card is obviously much stronger.

Back in the game, after five minutes in the first quarter, Zhang was always drilling around the court, but these moves were not without purpose, he had two assists and two rebounds, although the score was still zero.

Now that the score is stalemate, neither side has taken the initiative to adjust, and someone will come to the nearest bag wherever Zhang Wei goes.

This also gave other Lakers players a lot of opportunities, but the Spurs still insisted on wrapping Zhang because it was also a trial for them.

But when the Magic came on, the Spurs immediately canceled the pack, and they didn't dare to continue playing this game when Zhang and the Magic were on the court at the same time.

As soon as "Magic" Johnson came on the court, the Lakers' ability to shoot the ball in the middle and low post instantly reached the S level.

After the Magic who plays the No. 4 position receives the basketball in the middle or low post, whether it is a Lakers player cutting from the baseline or Zhang Qin Wang running around the pillar, as long as there is a split-second opportunity, the Magic can pass the ball over, thus opening a gap.

The Lakers will also replace Cebaros after the Magic comes on the court, and now Cebaros is basically the same as the Magic, so that the Lakers will become a threat in the upper, middle and lower three lanes, maximizing the advantage of the lineup.

The Spurs naturally know this routine of the Lakers, and at this time they must concentrate on dealing with everyone on the Lakers team, and they can no longer easily contain a single player.

There is information to refer to: The Lakers took the lead in the game, and most of the time was when Zhang Fu, Magic, and Cebaroz were on the floor at the same time.

At this time, the Lakers will become more cunning and pervasive, and the style of the starting lineup will be completely different, and it is difficult for the general team to quickly adapt to the two different styles of the Lakers, and it is easy to be hit by an attack wave after conceding a few goals in a row, so as to fall behind by a large score in a short period of time.

Zhang Zhu's side began to attack, and in the 7th minute and 26 seconds, he finally received a pass from the Magic, and shot a 12-foot mid-range shot under Elliott's defense to score his first point of the day.

Spurs fans' favorite Elliott isn't a bad player, but he's an overrated All-Star, although he has a range and can attack the basket, which earned him a role as David Robinson's deputy in San Antonio.

But when he was traded to the Pistons by the Spurs in '93, without Robinson to open up space for him, Elliott's stats suddenly exploded, his shooting percentage dropped by 4 percentage points, and he could only score 13 points per 36 minutes, even lower than his rookie year, and his efficiency value dropped from 15.6 to 11.3, and his contribution to victory dropped from 6.1 to 1.4.

Now back to the Spurs, but Elliott, who has kidney injuries, doesn't know how long he can play, he has always had flaws in defense, and today he can still cope with Zhang Zhu's off-ball movement, but once Zhang Qiu starts to attack, he feels a little weak.

"Good, just look at your limits."

Zhang Yu is obviously a big advantage against Elliott, but it remains to be seen what kind of guy he can make this guy.

Today he also wants to take the opportunity to get to the bottom of it, because the more he hurts Elliott, the better it will be for the Lakers to meet the Spurs in the playoffs.
