AT&T Center Arena, the Spurs' home court is unsurprisingly full, this is the Spurs' first game of this year's playoffs, and the opponent Lakers is also a team that the league is very concerned about. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

This game is not only very popular in the San East Anio area, but also in the whole United States, after all, these two teams have a bunch of stars, so this game is scheduled to be broadcast live in the United States.

At this time, two of ESPN's famous commentators, former Rockets head coach Jeff Van Gundy and Mike Brin who is a big name in the commentary world, are broadcasting the lineups of both teams.

"The Lakers' starting centers are Dwight Howard, Pau Gasol, Ci Shiping, Kobe Bryant, Steve Nash. ”

After being plagued by injuries this season, Steve Nash returned before the playoffs and finally got the Lakers' roster together, which is undoubtedly very luxurious at first glance.

On the Spurs' side, Ginobili and Dio are still hampered by injuries and are unable to play, but the rest of the team has not been affected.

The previous clash with the Kings was reviewed by the league after the game and penalties were added, but the board did not fall on the rest of the Spurs, so it did not affect the game.

Split, Duncan, Leonard, Green, Parker, the Spurs are using their usual starting lineup.

"The game is officially on!"

With the referee's whistle, the game officially began, Howard and Split jumped the ball, and Howard helped the Lakers take the lead in the offense.

After Nash had possession of the ball to halfcourt, Gasol lifted it up to block and the ball was immediately in the hands of Gasol, who hit a direct shot to help the Lakers open the scoring.

On the other end, the Spurs' offense was similarly successful, with Danny Green finding an outside shot through his run, receiving a pass from Parker and hitting a three-pointer.

Judging from the first round of the two, it seems that both sides are getting into the groove very quickly, but it is only the first round.

The Spurs have been setting up their defense against the Lakers for the past two or three days, and the same is true for the Lakers, with both sides not getting used to it in the first round, but after only two or three rounds, the defense has followed.

On the Lakers' side, they have had run-in problems all season, because the team has been injured, these five have hardly really played a few games together, and in the face of the Spurs' prepared defense, their offensive coordination cannot play.

So, after losing the offense in the second and third rounds, Kobe Bryant began to take the initiative to ask for the ball to attack, and he took the lead, and the Lakers' offense immediately became a single majority.

There is no doubt that several of the Lakers' starters are very good at playing alone, but the Spurs are equally good defensively, and although the Lakers can score, they don't shoot very well.

On the contrary, the Spurs continued their regular season style, running aggressively, playing more passing, and finding offensive opportunities through the ball.

It's not that the Lakers are unaware of the Spurs' offense, but their preparation on the defensive end is obviously not so adequate, after all, Lakers head coach D'Antoni is not a coach who is good at defense.

As with offense, the Lakers are more siloed on the defensive end, which is obviously difficult to prevent the Spurs' overall offense.

"The Spurs are obviously more prepared for this game, and they are always able to find the Lakers' holes to score. ”

When the score came to 6:13 and the Lakers called a timeout, Jeff Van Gundy, who was in the courtside commentary box, said to Mike Brin.

"Yes, the Lakers need to make adjustments. Mike Brin agreed.

The Lakers did need to make adjustments, they made adjustments on the offensive end, the ball was back in Nash's hands, and by playing more pick-and-roll combinations, they ended their previous separate state.

The rebound in offense helped the Lakers stabilize the situation again, but the Spurs did not give the Lakers a chance to turn the situation around, and the margin remained around 4 to 7 points.

The game had come to the final four minutes of the first quarter in the blink of an eye, and Popovich began to make personnel adjustments at this time, which is in the playoffs, if in the regular season, Popovich began to make substitutions more than a minute ago.

Popovich replaced Duncan with Bonner and Lee Young for Green.

"Yang, pay attention to Kobe's defense, he's a tough guy!"

Before Li Yang came on the court, Popovich specially told Li Yang.

Hearing Popovich's words, Li Yang nodded, although Kobe Bryant is getting older and no longer in his prime, but the other party is still one of the best scorers in the league.

I only saw that Green tried his best to defend on the court just now, but he still let Kobe get 7 points, and it can be seen that Kobe Bryant is indeed extremely difficult.

"The Spurs made roster changes, and they brought on Matt Bonner and Young. ”

On the sidelines, after Mike Brin finished speaking, Jeff Van Gundy immediately said: "If I were Griger, I would choose to use Kawhi Leonard to defend Kobe Bryant instead of letting Yang who just came on the court play to match, of course, I have seen Young's defense before, he did a great job, but it will obviously be safer with Kowynd." ”

As a coach who is very good at defense, Van Gundy has laid out a lot of defense against Kobe, and he is also well aware of Kobe's lethality on the offensive end.

While the two commentators on the sidelines were discussing, on the court, Li Yang was bending down to defend Kobe.

Nash had already gone off the court and the ball was in Bryant's hands at this point.

This is the first time Li Yang has played against Kobe, and the two teams played each other in March, but Li Yang did not play in that game.

Kobe Bryant is obviously not the Kobe Bryant of his youth, if before, after seeing a young defensive player, he may directly single out the offense and hit the defensive player.

At this time, Kobe Bryant directly reached out and signaled Gasol to step forward to block and dismantle, hoping to score in an easier way.

Gasol and Kobe have been partners for many years, and they have a very good tacit understanding with each other, and the quality of his blocking and dismantling is also very high.

Quickly moved sideways, Li Yang followed Kobe's side, but Kobe did not give him a chance to defend.

Dribbling and rushing two steps to the right front, when Li Yang was not completely pasted, Kobe Bryant directly dialed up and shot.

At this time, Li Yang and Kobe Bryant were still some distance, and Kobe's shot was still a little backward, although Li Yang jumped up quickly, but he was not able to stop the opponent's shot.

"It's really difficult. ”

Immediately afterwards, Li Yang muttered to himself in his heart, Kobe's shooting arc was not high, but the ball still hit, Li Yang had just come on the court to face the upper position, and Kobe Bryant came to the dismount.
