Chapter 359: The first round of needle tip against Mai Mang
Judging from the results, the Spurs' approach is really correct, and Wharton, Odom, and Parker are really a little far behind Wang Zhizhi's stable three-point ability.
Another point is that the Spurs are making a fuss in the bench lineup, don't you Kwame and Kobe Bryant have long playing time? Then my Spurs veterans are much stronger than your Lakers, and my core lineup is one more than yours.
Parker, Manu, and Duncan must have one of the three on the court, although in terms of comprehensive ability, Manu and Parker have certain 'defects', but in terms of offensive ability alone, as long as it is not due to unexpected factors, Parker and Manu's offense is also an unsolvable existence in the entire league.
The design of many of the Spurs' systems and the selection of players are to make the offensive mode of these two people an inexplicable existence.
But if the Lakers have only one person on the court, other players can't support the team's strong system, although Odom's overall ability is good, but his offense is definitely not a kind of existence that can be trusted in a defensive team like the Spurs.
From this game, the Spurs began to occupy the initiative in this round of the playoffs, and the Lakers slowly lost all their advantages from this game.
Although the adjustment of the Spurs is relatively large, the Lakers have no good way to deal with it, the Spurs' offense is the kind that is bright and bright, as long as you Wang Zhizhi go on the court to play, the Spurs' first target is you Wang Zhizhi.
David Lee's defense is a poor team for Odom and Kwamei, but it is not easy for Wang Zhizhi to play against David Lee in singles.
Kwame's defense, the Spurs handed over Duncan alone, in this league except Duncan, no matter who faces the current Kwame's offense one-on-one, they will feel extremely uncomfortable, but even if Duncan will feel uncomfortable, it is also the person who feels the lightest in this league.
If that's not enough, when the Spurs' bench starts to play, it's really a nightmare for the Lakers.
The Spurs and the Knicks are the two teams in the league that have the most effort to build the bench, but there is also a clear difference in the bench ability between the two.
If the benches of the Knicks bench are desperate for their future, then the Spurs' bench is for their own honor and for a certain goal.
However, in terms of stability alone, except for some talented players, the stability of the Knicks bench is really not as good as that of the Spurs, but I believe that Popovich will be very jealous of some people on the Knicks bench.
The rapid development of the Lakers has no corresponding matching measures, and players like Parker who have not even been selected in the draft have become the main strength of the team, which can be seen from the helplessness of the Lakers many times.
Since losing the second game, the Lakers' next offensive mode has become extremely simple, Kobe, Kwame and Odom, the strong offensive ability of the three has formed a stalemate with the Spurs, and Collins has begun to make corresponding decisions.
Adjust the playing time of players, strengthen the existence of three-point shooters, and strictly implement their own strategies even if they reduce their defense to the extreme.
This kind of competition is beautiful, so good-looking!
Even if you are a neutral fan, as long as you like to watch the NBA a little, you have the feeling of watching the finals! Kobe Bryant won the scoring title of 35 points per game this season, which is rare in the NBA records in the last two decades, although it is related to the league to modify some important defensive rules, but who else in the league can win the season scoring title with an average of 35 points per game in the season?
For such a player, his or her own form can sometimes really determine the victory of a few games or even a certain round.
This is the second duel between Kwame and Duncan, and this is also a duel between the two champions, in fact, for players of this level, the same point, their own form determines everything, and the managers of both teams have absolute confidence in each other's interior core, in this case, there are more heads-up, and more of each other is not so unexpected.
This kind of game 'seems' is the game that many fans are looking forward to, from the third game of the Lakers' death to the strong stability of the Spurs, and finally to the seventh game, the Lakers ran out of ammunition, and fans really experienced a fierce playoff game, and such a game is destined to be cherished forever in the memory of fans.
"Collins officially reached a settlement agreement with the Lakers, and after the Lakers paid liquidated damages for Collins, Collins reached a new coaching agreement with the Trail Blazers!"
Before the second round started, there was such a blockbuster news in the league.
"Are the Lakers crossing the river and demolishing the bridge?" After Gong Feng learned the news, he called Collins as soon as possible, and asked in an unusually angry tone.
"Crossing the river and demolishing the bridge? It's not so decisive, it's really that I feel too many obstacles and tired with the Lakers, and the Lakers can be regarded as a peaceful resolution of the dispute between each other, and besides, don't I find a new job right away? On the other side of the phone, the voice didn't sound so uncomfortable, and it did seem that there was some reason.
Listening to the silent voice on the other end of the phone, Collins said with a smile: "In the Trail Blazers, I don't have as much pressure as in the Lakers, and besides, my age is not too young, and the two years of Lakers career have really made me realize that I am not as good as Jackson, slowly cultivate rookie players, and then slowly do what I have to do, in fact, this is very good for me!" ”
"Gong Feng, are you interested in coming to my team?"
Just when Gong Feng didn't know what to say, Collins suddenly gave Gong Feng a heavy blow.
"Don't be so anxious to reply to me, I also know your answer at this time, but I know a little about you, for the future Trail Blazers, you must know that I have reached a six-year coaching contract with the Trail Blazers, if they terminate me, I will get a lot of liquidated damages? But one thing I do want to say hello in advance, your position as a Trailblazer is not just the only core! ”
"If one day, when I do face another choice, I will consider the Trailblazers as soon as possible, as long as you are still there!"
"This is the best news I've heard today! Well, let's concentrate on preparing for the second round! Our old rivals are not easy to deal with! ”
Neither of them said Kwame's position on this matter, and Kwame, who had just signed a six-year contract with the Lakers, couldn't say anything more at this time, and besides, it was Jackson who took over the Lakers, and Kwame was the most embarrassing moment at this time.
If there's one game in this series that's more intriguing than the Spurs vs. the Lakers, it's that only the Cavaliers vs. the Magic can deserve that honor.
This is the first collision between Iverson and Maddie in the playoffs, and it is also LeBron's first trip to the playoffs, and the two teams have been extremely clear about what they want from the beginning and know where their strengths are.
Whether LeBron can defend Maddy, and whether the Cavaliers' relatively weak interior can withstand Howard's impact, are the focus of fans' attention.
But the Magic team underestimated one person too much, which directly led to the final loss of the Magic team, his name is Chris? Weber.
This season, or in the past three years, almost everyone thinks that Webber has "fallen into the mortal world", because of serious injuries can no longer bear the burden, last season in the 76ers did not even enter the playoffs, this season is directly rested nearly 40 games, such Webber is not enough to fear.
But compared to Howard, who has not really matured, and relative to Lewis of the Magic, Webb's ability is not something they can easily underestimate, if it weren't for Maddie and Lewis breaking out collectively in a certain game, and the rise of the Magic team, the game between the Cavaliers and the Magic would not have ended in six games.
