Chapter 122: The Last Three Minutes

The two sides entered the fourth quarter of the game, and after entering the game, Kobe Bryant obviously restrained his desire to attack, and instead took the initiative to take the lead in defense. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

He worked hard to keep an eye on Monty Williams, and then from time to time he also helped other teammates to make up for the out-of-position people, and Kobe Bryant's doing so undoubtedly made Harris very pleased, he drove the defensive enthusiasm of the Lakers team, and Harris seemed to see the Lakers team that defended hard last season.

With the improvement of defense, the advantage of the Lakers gradually appeared, and in the fourth quarter, the Spurs' lineup consumed significantly more physical strength than the Lakers, and several of them were about to enter the end of their careers.

In this situation, the Lakers increased the intensity of their defense, and the Spurs gradually began to make mistakes.

The advantage they built up in the third quarter was gradually eaten away by the Lakers.

Popovich was a little anxious to see the score gradually being recovered, but he didn't have a good way, the game they lost to the Bulls before, it also collapsed because of physical exhaustion in the fourth quarter, which is the weakness of the Spurs, even if Popovich called a timeout, it only slightly slowed down the speed of the score being chased closer.

The Spurs failed on the outside, and their entire team's offensive responsibilities were placed on their twin towers. The only thing to be thankful for is that although the Spurs outside the gang of guys lost their lazy touch, they at least did not lose the defense together, so that the Lakers' offense gradually returned to flat, after all, relying on mistakes to counterattack This kind of thing is not every round can be obtained, the Spurs can start with five wins and one loss, they are naturally not fools, they gradually adapted to it after the initial chaos.

The Lakers have Jones who still feels good on the outside and Kobe Bryant, whose efficiency is steadily improving, Fisher also does his job well, and the Lakers can ensure offensive firepower after this puts a lot of pressure on the inside, and in the fourth quarter, Harris replaced the disappointing Campbell with Hawley, Hawley only needs to go outside when attacking, Duncan no longer dares to come forward unscrupulously.

Since then, Tony has gone from a one-on-two to a single-player David Robinson, which has really eased the difficulty a lot.

Toney's offensive efficiency has also increased, and he also played David Robinson with a spun and dreamy foot, which caused a wave of exclamation even on the Spurs' home court.

In fact, Tony's movements still have some flaws, which are also some gaps compared to the authentic footsteps founder Olajuwon, but fortunately, Tony has excellent physical fitness, he is flexible enough, and his movements are also very fast, David Robinson did not react for a while and was deceived by him.

And Duncan, he could only watch Tony and David Robinson from a distance, and he didn't dare to step forward again.

In fact, he also tried to continue to use his body to block Toney's view so that he could not pass the ball to Hawley, but this was too risky, and he was beaten by Holey in the bottom corner of the three-point line after two unguarded three-pointers, and then gave up this method and honestly followed out to defend.

Fortunately, although David Robinson can't limit Tony well, Tony still has nothing to do with David Robinson, and Tony, who has been taken care of by the Spurs' twin towers and hamburgers, is actually the most physically exerted of all the people on the court.

But fortunately, for the time being, he did not suffer from physical exhaustion because of this, which made David Robinson admire in his heart.

With the last three minutes of the fourth quarter, the Lakers finally managed to tie the score with a mid-range shot from Fisher, and for most of the quarter, although the Lakers had the initiative, they could only close the score, and whenever they wanted to launch a more aggressive attack to equalize or overtake the score, the Spurs' Tim Duncan and David Robinson always stepped up in time to renew the team's life.

As a result, as the game time became less and less, the Lakers players unconsciously became a little anxious, and if the Lakers still couldn't make a comeback until the end of the game, their efforts for the whole quarter of the game would be meaningless.

After all, the final outcome of a game depends on which side has the highest score, not which side plays with momentum.

Fortunately, Fisher's mid-shot shot finally stabilized the morale of the army.

As soon as the score was tied, Popovich called a timeout, and he finally felt the fear of losing control of the game.

Now the Spurs don't have any way to solve the physical problem, Popovich can play the cards are almost the same, although he feels resourceful, but with the depth of the Spurs' current roster, it is not enough to compete with those strong teams in the league, don't look at the Lakers is just a young team, but they have won 50 wins last season, and this season after reinforcement and solved the problem of bench firepower, it can be said that they are now a team that tends to be perfect.

The Spurs can still fight with the Lakers while the main energy is still there, but until now, the problem of squad depth has come out, the Lakers can not be replaced, and the bench lineup led by Fox can also maintain a stable performance, but here in the Spurs, Popovich can only be ruthless and the main players, playing so far, Duncan has played 41 minutes, he has only rested for 3 minutes in the whole game so far, and his playing time is the highest on the team, which is the highest for a rookie, That's quite an achievement.

David Robinson played 40 minutes, and the Spurs' twin-tower duo had little time to rest.

And even the old guys on the outside played for 35 to 40 minutes.

Looking at the situation, in the next four minutes, the Spurs are estimated to have a lineup to go black.

The coaches on both sides did not waste this timeout.

Popovich and Harris are each cheering for their own players, and let them strengthen their defense, at this time, it no longer makes sense to arrange any complex tactics, what hole cards everyone has have also come out of their own appearance, and now the two sides are fighting, that is, whose defense is more resolute, whose offense can score.

The players of both teams also took this opportunity to seize the time to rest and try to regain some strength for the final battle.
