Face the waves. Povich's pretense is mysterious, but Billups seems very indifferent, and does not respond positively to questions from the media. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The managers of both sides saw the move at this time, which made fans look forward to the next meeting between the two sides more and more.

While the Lakers and Spurs are inseparable, the games of the remaining teams have also entered the white-hot stage.

In the East, the Cavaliers and Knicks were unexpectedly tied 2-1, and the defending champions didn't bargain much in front of Anthony and Rose.

In the other set of matchups, the Celtics, who had just set a record for the tenth team in NBA history to fall behind 1-3 but finally reversed, were unusually stable in the face of the Pacers, with a big score of 3-0 lead, and advancing to the finals was already a certainty.

Compared with the East, the other group of matchups in the West seems to be the most suspenseful, the superior Warriors swept the Jazz 4-0 in the first round, and faced the Clippers who struggled to qualify, playing a strong game, even though the Clippers guard Devin Booker shot 12 three-pointers in the series, but the four peak superstars in the team, they still led 3-0 in the big score.

In an interview with the media, Green, the inside line of the Warriors, admitted that he was looking forward to meeting Tang Shuai again in the next round, if the Lakers could make it to the next round.

This sentence seems simple, but when you read it carefully, you can feel a strong sense of provocation.

First of all, Green said that he was looking forward to Tang Shuai, not the Lakers, which shows that he hopes to avenge the elimination of the Clippers last year, and the second half of the sentence shows his contempt for the strength of the Lakers, although the Lakers pulled back a city at home, but he does not think that the Lakers can finally advance.

This kind of sensitive remark made the reporter catch the point, and then asked if he meant to despise the Lakers.

When the reporter's question was raised, Green's answer was even more speechless.

"No, no, I don't mean to take it lightly, actually, whether it's the Spurs, or the Lakers, or any other opponent, do you think we need to worry about the opponent right now?"

It's a rhetorical question, but it's actually a reinforcing tone, and it's the same feeling as "I'm not saying you're rubbish, I'm saying that everyone here is rubbish."

Of course, Green has such confidence, the Warriors have won 7 games since the playoffs, and they have averaged 15+ net outscores of opponents per game, and after a season of running-in, their strength is not ordinarily strong.

The Lakers didn't deliberately pay attention to these words, and their focus was all on the Spurs.

A big win boosted the team's morale, but after all, the opponent was the old Spurs, and no one dared to take it lightly at this time.

On May 8, U.S. time, the fourth game between the Lakers and the Spurs kicked off at the Staples Center.

Because of the strong counterattack in the last game, the attention of this game is also rising, and the day before yesterday, many TV stations in the United States focused on the focus of the Cavaliers and the Knicks, and in the case of the same game, they coincidentally broadcast the game.

Domestic CCTV 5 and Tencent Sports also broadcast the game at the same time.

There is no doubt that this game is also the most watched game for the Lakers since they entered the playoffs.

The Spurs came to the arena early tonight to practice, and it can be seen that although the performance is of course, the defeat in the last game still caused them a lot of psychological pressure.

In Tencent's broadcast room, Ke Fan and Yang Yi were broadcasting the game.

"Teacher Yang Yi, who do you think is more likely to win this game?" The players on both sides were still in the final warm-up before the game, and before the screen was switched, Ke Fan began the pre-game warm-up.

"Don't, I won't jump into this pit." Yang Yi did not answer Ke Fan's question, but waved his hand and said with a smile.

Ke Fan laughed meaningfully, Yang Yi seemed to have finally learned to be smart after broadcasting so many games in the face.

"Then you will analyze the current situation for the audience and friends." Ke Fan smiled and then asked.

"Hmm." Yang Yi nodded, and then said, "Both sides have a chance in this game, but the key is in Tang Shuai, in the first two games, the Spurs restricted Tang Shuai very well, strangled this point, the Lakers' offense was gone, and the game was basically explained, but in the last game, we also saw that Tang Shuai's state suddenly rose, and the Spurs couldn't hold it down, and then they were killed by Tang Shuai alone." ”

Although he often slaps his face, Yang Yi is a senior commentator after all, and his analysis of the situation is still in place.

"Yes, our Tang Shuai can really be said to be a five-player now, and now he is both a father and a mother, which feels more tiring than in the national team." Ke Fan said with emotion.

"One and a half, Gasol didn't play well against Downs in the first round, but in the second round against the inside line of Duncan Sr. and Aldridge, the performance was still okay." Yang Yi followed.

"Well, if you add half of that, it probably won't change...... Wait, the Lakers made changes to the lineup. Just as Ke Fan was talking, the live broadcast signal was cut, and the starting list over there had already been played.

The Spurs' starting lineup was outstretched, but the Lakers made personnel changes, with Billups putting Deng on the bench with a mediocre second-round performance and Grant who didn't play much before into the defensive lineup.

"This substitution is interesting." Looking at the lineup that came out, Yang Yi couldn't help but speak.

Not long after the two sides started to play, the game between the two sides officially began.

At the beginning of the game, although adjustments were made to the lineup, the style of play was boundless, and Tang Shuai was still the main one when it came up.

After feeling that Tang Shuai's point could form a large enough containment force, Billups chose to respond to all changes with the same.

And after the beginning, the tactics that the old man said were also revealed.

He defended a 2-3 joint defense, completely pressing the defensive center of gravity to the outside, and did not give Tang Shuai the opportunity to attack easily.

This defensive strategy has indeed brought effect to the Spurs, although Tang Shuai has Peter Pan in a single package, facing the bag that exists all the time, it is okay to attack, but it is not so easy to ensure the shooting rate.

In the first two rounds of the game, the Lakers' offense was fruitless, while the Spurs scored in a row, and the game seemed to be moving in favor of the Spurs.

That's when Billups responded, replacing Grant with Mike Dermott.

Mike Dermott for Grant, this substitution may seem inconsequential, but the effect is very obvious.

The placement of a three-point point in the bottom corner made the Spurs dare not be so decisive when defending.

Tang Shuai controlled the ball to the frontcourt, and after encountering the bag, he shook his hand and directly distributed the ball to Mike Dermott, who had just landed in the bottom corner of the right wing.

Mike Dermott also did not hesitate to make a decisive move.

"Huh!"

Three-point hitting, although Mike Dermott didn't play much time before, he has been training with Tang Shuai, and his condition has been quite good.

This three points also made the old man can't help but reach out to support his forehead.

Lasted for a round, and when he came back again, after Mike Dermott hit another three-pointer, the old man hesitated, reached out and called Ginobili from behind, and directly replaced Aldridge off the court, playing a small lineup.

Ginobili's appearance made the Spurs' rhythm in the defensive rotation significantly faster, and when the Spurs scored a goal and turned back to defense, Mike Dermott didn't have such a good chance to shoot.

The old man's response worked, but he still couldn't fully hold down the Lakers' offense.

After realizing that Mike Dermott didn't have such a good chance to shoot, Tang Shuai then chose to pass the ball inside.

Gasol was originally pulled out for Tang Shuai to block and dismantle, seeing Tang Shuai's gesture to go down to the basket, Tang Shuai made a beautiful hit from Leonard and Mills between the ball, and Gasol chose to go to the basket directly after receiving the ball.

Duncan came out to defend, Gasol made a coquettish back-to-back pass to the basket to Noll, and Noll was a violent dunk.

Duncan is also a little weak to defend at this time.

Although he has always been called the No. 21 rookie, Duncan is 40 years old after all, and although the old man has enough trust in him with this lineup, it is impossible for him to block Gasol like he did at his peak, and then turn around to block Noor.

The old man was a little helpless in his eyes at this time, Aldridge is a player who is strong in attack and weak in defense, and it is definitely not possible to put him up, but the Spurs, who are not good at playing a small lineup, can be in the fifth position at this time, and Duncan is alone.

After the Spurs' wave of offense failed, Tang Shuai advanced to the frontcourt, and followed the way in front of him with another high lob ball, Gasol saw that Duncan did not defend and directly chose a mid-range shot.

"Huh!"

Gasol's mid-range shot was hit again, and they had already launched a strong 7-0 attack wave.

The Spurs were forced to call a timeout.

The old man frowned, it seemed that he had really miscalculated.

In contrast, the Lakers' group of young players are getting more and more excited about playing.

The game has completely tilted in favor of the Lakers.

"It seems that the Lakers are basically going to win this game. Wave and his Spurs team ultimately failed to find a good way to limit it. Yang Yi said bluntly in the live broadcast room.

"Teacher Yang Yi, you poisonous milk." Ke Fan said with a smile.

"Haha, I'm not a poisoned milk, I still expect the Spurs to be able to respond when they return to their home court, for many fans, this is likely to be Duncan's last season, and I still hope to see him more on the court." Yang Yi said with a smile.

"Fans should be very entangled, on the one hand, hoping that Tang Shuai and the Lakers can win, but at the same time, they want to see Duncan play a few more games." Ke Fan nodded in agreement, and the two of them had already begun to talk about things outside the game.

At this time, after the timeout came back, the Lakers launched another wave of 10-2 attacks, and they had completely mastered the momentum of the game. (To be continued.) )
