"Gary Harris, 6 feet 4 inches (193 cm) tall, 210 pounds, born 9/94/14, 20 years old. He played as a shooting guard/point guard, and was selected by the Spurs with the 25th pick in the first round of the '14 draft. A graduate of the University of Michigan, he is slightly shorter, but has excellent arm span and athleticism, and is good both offensively and defensively.

In the 14~15 season, he played 53 games for the Spurs, averaging 26.8 minutes per game, averaging 8.5 points, 3.8 boards, 4.9 assists, 0.8 steals and 0.4 blocks per game, shooting 37.6% from the field, 37.3% from three-point range, and 75.8% from the free throw line.

The assist rate of 32.4 is even higher than Parker's 28.8, ranking first among the Spurs.

Probably won 3.3, second only to Kawhi Kawhi Kawhi Kawhi at 15.1 for the Spurs. ”

At halftime, the Staples Center gave a personal profile of rookie Harris.

In this game, Harris's defense of LaVine or Kobe Bryant is a more important link, and it is also one of the hot spots of attention of the fans.

Harris's defense, excellent team mentality, and tactical execution allowed him to quickly establish himself with the Spurs, and he was gradually used by Popovich. After the All-Star break, Popovich once let Harris play as a starter, while Danny Green and Ginobili could only be used as substitutes, which shows the importance of Harris in Popovich's tactics.

Harris' offensive ability and ball-handling skills may seem a bit weak, but the Spurs' integrity can make up for it. That's why Harris was able to play so well in his first season. Today, Harris is considered Parker's successor and will be one of the Spurs' new Big Three after GDP recedes.

It's not an exaggeration at all, Harris is still young, and he can grow to the limit under Popovich's coaching, becoming a Spurs point guard who is much better than Parker's defense. However, at 32 years old, Parker is still playing at a very high level. So Harris has only been able to play as Parker's backcourt partner in recent years. However, for Harris, his height puts him at a disadvantage in the No. 2 position is too great.

Especially in today's game, against LaVine, who is more athletic and flexible, Harris's defense was completely unremarkable, which is one of the reasons why the Spurs fell behind in the first half.

After all, Harris is 7/8 centimeters lower than LaVine, which makes him not particularly effective when defending LaVine.

Considering the situation of the game, everyone can't help but wonder if Popovich will reduce Harris's playing time and give Danny Green and Ginobili more opportunities.

Chu Xuan is also paying attention to this, because if Harris is not there, he will need to reconsider the issue of offensive tactics. After all, Harris' height and lack of playoff experience are big breakthroughs in this game.

After a brief break, the Lakers returned to the court from the locker room.

Amid the noise, the game continued.

"Bobo even let Harris play on the court, which is kind of funny." Chu Xuan held his chin, and a strong interest rose in his heart. It seems that this rookie has a really high status in Popovich's heart, which makes Chu Xuan look forward to Harris's potential...... Could it be that this guy can really become the future backcourt iron triangle of the Spurs?

Needless to say, Leonard will definitely be the best five-man group in the NBA in two years. And Danny Green, the league's best 3-and-D player, does have the potential to be a quasi-star. But, Harris, can really be a player on par with Leonard? Spurs' future point guard? Chu Xuan expressed great doubts!

"Bryant fell into the low post, Zach LaVine's pass, oh, was stealed, Gary Harris fast-breaked, passed to Kawaii Leonard......"

In the midst of a burst of competition in the arena, Chu Xuan's attention was also attracted.

Leonard scored an easy one-handed dunk and high-fived Harris in celebration as he returned.

Harris's interception was so accurate that he seemed to know when LaVine was going to pass.

Chu Xuan glanced at Popovich, and the Spurs' defensive strategy seemed to have changed a little: "Could it be that Bobo wants to increase his defense on the outside?" ”

Chu Xuan's guess was quickly confirmed, and for three consecutive rounds, the Lakers' offense on the outside was obviously in great trouble, while the Spurs also strengthened their shooting outside the three-point line. Although the shooting percentage was not high, Leonard and Parker each hit a goal to narrow the score.

"Since they want to shoot threes, let them keep shooting. Norris and Giannis, you're going to have to shrink the line on either side of the free-throw line and in the horns so they can't get through. Pushing their offense as close to the three-point line as possible, Lin and Zach played some assistive defense. As for Hassan, when Norris and Giannis were shrinking the line, you stretched out and put pressure on their shots......"

Chu Xuan shouted a pause and said what he thought in his heart.

He's going to follow Popovich's train of thought, but he's never going to give Popovich a chance to succeed tactically.

Such a quick change of position defense requires a lot of physical fitness and physical reflexes. For the sake of insurance, Chu Xuan took Kobe Bryant down to rest and let Jeremy Lin play as a point guard.

Chu Xuan designed offensive tactics for Jeremy Lin, Antetokounmpo organized on the flanks, and Jeremy Lin and LaVine killed separately. This arrangement has had a relatively good effect. Because when Noll pulls out the inside, Duncan has to follow, after all, Noll has a mid-range shot. And only the slow-moving Oden is left on the inside, which gives the Lakers a chance to score on the inside......

Harris has woken up defensively, and he's pinning down LaVine a lot. In this way, Jeremy Lin took on more offensive roles.

This was also a bit unexpected for the Spurs, because judging from the lineup on the court, it was not Jeremy Lin's turn to attack, after all, the four starters were all on it.

Caught the Spurs off guard, Jeremy Lin scored two consecutive driving layups and hit a three-pointer. At the same time, the Lakers forced the Spurs to shoot from mid-to-long range to a certain extent. At one point, the Lakers took a nearly 20-point lead......

The headwinds immediately alerted Popovich, and the Spurs then focused on Duncan and Leonard and planted three shooters on the perimeter...... The small lineup rotates quickly, and the Spurs' tactical execution is already very strong. So, led by Leonard and Duncan, the Spurs played a wave of counterattacks.

In the third quarter, both sides were highly efficient offensively, with the score at 30:34.

The two teams fought evenly, and the Spurs did not take advantage, so the hole in the first half was still not filled.

When entering the final quarter, the Lakers led the Spurs by 20 points at 86:66, and the situation can be said to be very favorable for the Lakers.

"We have a good chance of winning. Be sure to protect the rebounds and defend them to shoot three-pointers......"

Chu Xuan's arrangement was simple, and he focused his defense on preventing the Spurs from counterattacking.

Today's game, judging from the first three quarters, the Lakers grabbed the rebounds very well, and the three-point defense against the Spurs was also very good.

Whiteside was great today, although his stats weren't particularly good. However, his hand-to-hand fight with Oden under the basket was definitely the highlight of the game and also had a very favorable impact on the Lakers' victory.

In the final quarter, Popovich's tactics were clearly more inclined to shoot three-pointers.

The Spurs did a very good job of moving the ball, but the Lakers' defense didn't give the Spurs a chance to blossom in full.

The Lakers defended other points and forced more shooting opportunities to Leonard. As a result, in the first half of the game, Leonard can always be seen shooting three-pointers......

Oden was completely strangled by Whiteside, and Duncan was old enough to dominate the rebounding ball around a bunch of youngsters.

There was no guarantee of rebounding, and the offensive end did not blossom more, so the Spurs soon had a big momentum, and the Lakers won the game...... However, just before Chu Xuan was about to call a timeout to replace the substitute on the court, an accident happened, Kobe Bryant injured his leg and fell to the ground, and was pulled into the medical room under unknown circumstances.

"Damn, who can tell me what's going on, it's fucking terrible."

Chu Xuan couldn't help but curse, this was really too unexpected. He can only hope that nothing will happen to Kobe......

Kobe Bryant left the stadium early, and the Staples Center suddenly exploded, and the fans made all kinds of noises frantically, but the emotions expressed were completely worried.

You must know that Kobe Bryant is completely the soul of this team, and he is the backbone and support of everyone. Although he is about to be 37 years old, his individual performance is still the best and most consistent for the Lakers, and he is definitely the most trustworthy and reliable player in key games. Therefore, with the playoffs in full swing, Kobe Bryant definitely can't afford to lose. Otherwise, it will be a huge blow to the Lakers, and the prospect of winning the championship will be overshadowed by it.

"God willing, Kobe Bryant will be fine."

Nash and Payton were teammates with Kobe, and the two immediately prayed for Kobe.

Everyone's hearts were completely touched by Kobe, until the game was won 116-87, and the sound of celebration at the Staples Center was indeed almost nonexistent, and there was not much joy, but the atmosphere became dull.

Kobe, who scored 25 points, 5 rebounds, 10 assists and 2 steals, became the best player of the game without any suspense, but because of the sudden injury and retirement, it was obviously impossible to interview him.

Jeremy Lin, who scored 12 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists as a surprise soldier, became the subject of an interview. Others returned to the players' tunnel as soon as the game was over, visiting Kobe Bryant in the medical room.

After the game, Popovich was a little emotional: "Chu, it's really a pity that something like this happened suddenly." ”

In this game, the Lakers broke out in full swing, and the Spurs were not opponents at all, if it weren't for Leonard and Duncan both scoring 20+, then the Spurs would undoubtedly lose even more.

This reflects that there may still be some gaps between the strength of the Spurs and the Lakers.

However, Bryant's sudden injury turned the tide and the Spurs had the advantage.

"Hehe, Bobo, this is just a little test from God, not a chance for you to win." (To be continued.) )
