Chapter 125: Killing?!
The Spurs attacked, David Robinson singled Toney inside and missed, but he grabbed the rebound again and played again, but was capped off by Tony, Holly grabbed the basketball that was fanned, he threw it hard, and the Lakers launched a fast break again. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Since David Robinson missed consecutive shots, the voices of the fans in the AT&T Center Arena at the Spurs' home arena have gradually decreased, and as Kobe Bryant scored another fast-break layup, the Spurs Arena suddenly fell silent, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that now their home team is already being beaten by the Lakers.
With the last half minute or so left, Popovich reluctantly called out the last timeout, but he also knew in his heart that now he couldn't find a way to restrain the Lakers' fast break, and they lost this game.
However, even if he was really going to lose, Popovich still arranged some final offensive and defensive tactics, and he still had luck in his heart, hoping that if God forbid, he really had a chance to turn the tables in the end.
Miracles don't happen every day, just like Popovich himself thought, the Lakers didn't give the Spurs a chance, and after this timeout, the Lakers used iron-blooded defense to defend the Spurs' ball, Tony grabbed the rebound, and David Robinson had to take a foul.
Toney missed the first free throw, but he hit the second free throw safely, and he didn't give the Spurs a chance to fight back.
With less than ten seconds left, after the Spurs' final attack was missed by Sean Elliott for a three-point shot, the Spurs finally gave up resistance, and they didn't even bother to foul and let the Lakers pass the half with ease.
Seeing such a move by the Spurs, Joan Barry, who controlled the ball for the Lakers, naturally would not be disappointed to take advantage of the unpreparedness to score again, and the two sides walked through the last few seconds in a peaceful atmosphere.
"Drop"
With the red light on the rebound, the game was over.
In the end, the Lakers managed to win 99-94 at home against the Spurs, and they also managed to extend their winning streak to six games.
In this game, the Lakers here Kobe Bryant scored 24 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists on 10-of-22 shooting, Tony because he was suffering from two people most of the time, his statistics are not very good-looking, 12 points, 15 rebounds and 4 blocks on 5 of 13 shots, but his contribution on the defensive end can not be reflected by data, especially in the last moments, he successfully defended David Robinson in a row, and also sent a block, which directly extinguished the flame of the Spurs' victory.
However, the best performance belonged to Eddie Jones, who made 8 of 16 shots, efficiently cut down 26 points, 4 rebounds, 7 assists, and 3 steals, and he was the MVP of the game.
For the Spurs, although David Robinson scored 27 points, 14 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 blocks and 1 steal on 7-of-17 shooting, he missed consecutive shots in the final minute and directly cut off the Spurs' possible victory.
And this year's top pick Tim Duncan, his performance is also very good, he scored 19 points, 13 boards, 4 assists and 3 blocks on 9-of-17 shooting, the only fly in the ointment is that he made four turnovers, but for a rookie who has only played less than ten NBA regular season games, such a performance is perfect.
However, relying on the twin towers alone is not enough to win, and although the Spurs are now in a big boost, they still have a lot of flaws, and Popovich still has a lot of work to do.

The Purple Gold Battleship Sets Sail Again! 》
"With six consecutive wins in the opening game, who can stop the Lakers?" 》
......
Recently, Tony and Kobe Bryant have been in full swing, after all, the Lakers have been winning now, and winning is the best way to gain popularity, almost all the media have praised the Lakers, and even some of them have directly turned out the remarks made by Tony last year, Tony said that he would be able to reach the Finals in less than three years, and now it seems that it may not take three years, just this season, the Lakers will be able to reach the Finals.
After all, in the six games won, although there are weak teams like the Warriors and Mavericks, there are also strong teams like the Jazz, Knicks and Spurs.
Naturally, this kind of hype sounded so comfortable to the Lakers' players that they were starting to get a little fluttery, but Harris and some experienced veterans were not fooled by the media, and they promptly reminded the youngsters to ignore the outside media and focus on the next game.
The Lakers' next opponent is not a good one, and they will fly to Houston immediately the next day to take on the Rockets.
The Rockets have had a disappointing start to the season, with only three wins and three losses so far, which is a bit of a chill for a team that reached the Western Conference Finals last year.
However, they are still a strong team to be reckoned with, after all, they have three future Hall of Famer level players on their team, and who knows when you will lose if you are not careful.
The current Lakers can't afford to lose.
After such a big hype by the outside media, although it is not easy for the Lakers to play strong teams back-to-back, they still have to win the next game, otherwise they will lose the game the next day after blowing, and the Lakers will not become a joke.
Harris actually doesn't like these media practices very much, and it's right that they found a selling point for themselves in the news, but these guys from the Lakers were directly pushed to the fire by them to roast.
And just after a report, Fisher suffered a slight head concussion and a conservative estimate of a week or two of rest, which means that he will miss at least the next four to seven games.
This is very fatal for the Lakers.
Fisher has been honed for a season, he is now the Lakers' well-deserved main point guard, he is an indispensable part of the Lakers' starting lineup, although the data is not pretty, but some people, their role, can not be measured by data, and Fisher is this type of player.
Fortunately, Matt Maloney, the main controller of the Rockets in tomorrow's game, is not a very strong person, and when the time comes, let Eddie Jones help Joan Barry defend, it is not without the power to fight.
Forget it, if you really can't do it then, you can lose if you lose, those damn media.
Harris's head hurts a little when he thinks about it, and Fisher's absence makes him feel really hurt.
