With that timeout, David Robinson quickly walked off the field with the help of his teammates, and before leaving, he cast a grateful glance at Tony.

Tony just shrugged his shoulders and didn't say anything.

Spurs star David Robinson is out injured, but the game has to go on, and now the offensive and defensive pressure on the team's interior is falling on the rookie Duncan.

Although Duncan has begun to gradually show his dominance on the court, the overall strength of the Spurs after losing David Robinson is still inferior to the Lakers, and the Lakers have taken an eight-point lead halfway through the second quarter.

With David Robinson's previous experience, Harris saw that the Lakers had an advantage, so he put Tony and Kobe Bryant and others down early.

Taking advantage of the Lakers' main game, the Spurs recovered a little more points, but they still couldn't regain the score.

Until halftime, the Lakers still led by five points at 48-43.

At halftime, the injury report for David Robinson also came out, fortunately, it was just some bumps, and it didn't hurt the muscles and bones, which made Popovich finally breathe a sigh of relief, but, in today's game, David Robinson has no chance to play again.

As a result, the Spurs are much less likely to win.

After a half-hour break between the two sides, both sides recovered their physical strength and began to enter the second half of the game.

Duncan on the Spurs side took the lead, he faced Campbell's defense at a 45° angle and first hit a board jumper, and then he received the ball in the waist position and hit Campbell, only to see him shake Campbell slightly, and then he broke through and hit Tony with a one-arm smashing frame.

Before stepping forward to defend, Tony was ready for Duncan's offense, he believes that Duncan's kind of player is a very reasonable kind of play, and now he is standing under the basket, he doesn't believe that Duncan will be hard, so Tony's main focus is on defending Duncan's throwing and other offensive means.

Who would have thought that Duncan would be so violent that he would directly deduct Tony.

Tony didn't expect it for a while, so he could only suffer a loss.

And what's even worse is that at the same time as Duncan completed the dunk, the referee also blew out Toney's foul.

In this way, Tony was very unconvinced, just now Tony didn't even have time to reach out to block Duncan to complete the dunk, this foul is obviously a little inexplicable.

Tony hurriedly stepped forward to negotiate with the referee, indicating that there was no foul on the ball just now.

However, the referee quickly told Tony that Duncan had already started when Tony stepped forward to block Duncan's breakthrough route, which was also considered Tony's defensive foul.

It's embarrassing.

Seeing that the negotiation was fruitless, Tony could only reluctantly return to the court to watch Duncan's free throws, Duncan's wave of outbursts can be said to have come without warning, the Lakers originally had a 5-point lead, but with Duncan's continuous offensive play, the difference was narrowed to one point, and there was a free throw waiting for him, if Duncan's free throw could be hit, then the score would be tied.

So it's not surprising that Tony would be so excited.

Fortunately, Duncan's free throw only bounced twice off the basket and fell out again.

missed the equalizer, but Duncan didn't look too excited, he still looked expressionless, silently defending.

And this rebound was easily taken into Tony's arms, and then he passed to Kobe.

The Lakers went on offense.

Kobe Bryant did not compete with Avery Johnson for speed, he steadily controlled the rhythm and advanced through the half, after these games, Kobe Bryant is also more and more experienced in point guard play, and he has his own set of methods to deal with smaller than him.

Outside the three-point line, Bryant didn't choose to start his individual singles directly, he directed his teammates' runs to signal for him to catch the ball, and then he passed the ball out.

This is Harris's request for Kobe, because when Kobe Bryant first began to transform into a point guard, he always liked to dribble directly after half the court, and forgot the task of connecting the team, which made everyone a little dissatisfied, so Harris set a dead rule for Kobe, every time he dribbled over half court, he must give priority to passing the ball to his teammates, and then he can attack selectively.

After the Lakers ran the ball a few times, the ball came to Kobe's hand again, although Avery Johnson was short, but his defensive attitude was very positive, Kobe ran wherever he went, he stuck to Kobe like an appendage, and now Kobe received the ball, Avery Johnson hurriedly stepped back a position.

Kobe's breakthrough has gradually become a killer weapon in the league, and he has to guard against it.

However, Kobe Bryant is not just going to break through.

Seeing Avery Johnson retreat some distance, Kobe Bryant sneered in his heart, and then, he didn't even dribble the ball, and directly pulled up and jumped on the spot to shoot a three-point shot.

Avery Johnson only symbolically reached out to defend himself, but due to his height limitations, he couldn't even do the basic interference.

For this, Avery Johnson thinks very clearly, the height difference of 20 centimeters is destined to have no way to defend as long as Kobe Bryant wants to shoot.

Anyway, Kobe Bryant's main offense still relies on breakthroughs, and his outside shooting ability is not very stable, and Avery Johnson has also made up his mind to let go of his shots.

The instability of shooting is indeed a major weakness of Kobe Bryant, and it is not obvious when playing against some weak opponents, but once the confrontation is fierce, his shooting percentage begins to fluctuate greatly.

However, as I said before, these are the former Kobe.

After a summer of hard work, Bryant's shooting ability has stabilized a lot, and last season's three-minute three-shot shot against the Jazz in the playoffs made him start to practice his three-point prowess like crazy.

The current Kobe Bryant is no longer the serious high school student he was last season.

I saw Kobe Bryant fall with a knife in his hand, and the basketball went directly into the pocket.

The fans at the scene immediately exclaimed.

Kobe Bryant's three-pointer can be said to have played a role in stabilizing the morale of the army, and the Lakers once again stretched the score to four points.

But it's not over yet, in the next round, Tony and Campbell switched defenses, and the Spurs Duncan suddenly felt a sudden increase in pressure when he attacked with the ball, he forced a miss, and the rebound was picked up by Toney.

The Lakers quickly launched a fast-break counterattack, Toni threw the ball to Kobe Bryant, who had already run past half court, Kobe received the ball, and at this time there was no one in front of him, and the basket was almost a flat horse.

However, Bryant stopped about a meter away from the three-point line, then jumped and shot.

"Huh"

The audience roared with a tsunami!
