Chapter 103: Victory in the first battle
Looking at the point difference that has been stretched to 12 points, D'Antoni is very entangled, he changed this lineup to prepare to play fast, but he didn't expect that the Spurs were faster than them. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
However, the tactic of calling out the pause just now is now going to veto it?
D'Antoni felt the need to wait and see, because for the time being, he didn't find a good way to close the score, and D'Antoni was slightly comforted that the Lakers finally scored at this time.
Without launching a fast break, the Lakers were forced to fall to the halfcourt, and Bryant's offense attracted the defense, giving the ball to Ci Shiping, and both hit a long-range two-point after the assist.
The Spurs' offense was relaunched, and the ball was controlled by Parker in this round, and he and Duncan split the ball after blocking and dismantling, and Duncan received the ball in the three-second zone for a layup, but it was blocked by Howard.
The ball was snatched directly by Howard, and then it was in the hands of Kobe.
The Lakers also launched a quick counterattack at this time, but after Nash failed to fight back in the first two rounds of possession of the ball, this round, Kobe, who has stronger rushing and attacking power, came to control the ball.
In terms of defensive counterattacks, the Spurs, who are more defense-oriented, are obviously more prepared, and the Spurs players are keeping up with their opponents very well.
In such a full-court range, it was a little difficult for Leonard to stop Kobe's impact, but under Leonard's interference, although Kobe kept changing direction and adjusting the rhythm to keep rushing forward, his speed was obviously affected to a certain extent.
This gave the Spurs more time to step back, and by the time Bryant dribbled to the half, the Spurs were basically out of position.
As one of the four players on the court with the least defensive pressure, Li Yang kept an eye on Blake in his opposite position, and on the other hand, he was staring at Kobe Bryant, who was in possession at this time, and was ready to help defend at any time.
Kobe Bryant saw that his teammates had no chance to attack directly, and he paused slightly outside the three-point line, then started dribbling and started to break through directly.
Kobe Bryant's breakthrough is not as much physical as when he was younger, he pays more attention to the rhythm at this time, although the first step did not throw Leonard away, but, using the rhythm adjustment, Kobe Bryant still found a breakthrough space from Leonard's defense and went straight to the basket.
Leonard's defense is good, but Kobe's offensive lethality is obviously not something he can limit alone, although he leans on Kobe's side and actively moves his feet, but Kobe is getting closer and closer to the basket.
Duncan followed Howard and fell behind slightly, and could not come over to help defend at the first time, Kobe Bryant immediately leaned directly on Leonard and rushed into the three-second zone, and then jumped up to the basket with the ball.
Kobe Bryant has a lot of experience, and he knows how to use his body to interfere with defenders when he goes to the basket, so although Leonard is also close to Kobe's side and has an advantage in terms of reach, at this time, he can't pose a direct threat to Kobe's shot.
"Kobe forced a defensive layup by Kawhi Leonard...... Watch out for the Spurs' defense!"
Mike Brin's comments were relatively fair, and he would shout when the Spurs players had a good performance before, and at this time, Kobe Bryant took the ball and went to the basket, and he began to explain from Kobe's point of view again.
Kobe Bryant leaned on Leonard for a layup, and at this time, a figure was rapidly approaching, and on his back, a big No. 19 was written, Li Yang!
When Kobe Bryant broke through, Li Yang was ready to assist in defense early, although because he was afraid of Kobe's ball, he couldn't appear in front of him to block Kobe's shot at the first time, but at this time, Li Yang arrived in time.
rushed to the basket and jumped behind Leonard and Kobe's sides, Li Yang fanned directly after the basketball flew out of Kobe's hands!
"Smack!"
Under the shroud of Li Yang's giant palm, the ball was ruthlessly instigated directly on the rebound, and the nailboard hat!
"Oh! Block! Young blocked Kobe's layup, beautiful block!"
After Mike Brin shouted, Van Gundy, who was on the side, immediately shouted: "The Lakers need to pay attention to the Spurs' counterattack, here comes ......"
The Spurs' counterattack is here again!
Li Yang, who had completed the block, turned his head to take a look after landing on the ground, and did not grab the rebound again, but rushed to the front court quickly.
Leonard and Kobe Bryant scramble for the ball, and the ball was eventually snatched up by Leonard, who was better positioned and had a better reach, and then reappeared in Parker's hands.
Parker took the ball on the run, so it didn't affect his speed too much at this time, and when he received the ball, Parker rushed to the front court with the ball.
At this time, there was a person who was faster than Parker.
In the previous two rounds, Li Yang had the ball in his hand, but at this time, there was no ball in his hand, and he did not attract the defense so much, which made his impact not hindered in the slightest.
Although it was started from the bottom line, Li Yang quickly rushed to the front and caught up with Parker, Green and others.
At this time, the Lakers had several players retreat to the halfcourt, but Ci Shiping was attracted by Green to stay near the three-point line, and Nash still needed to defend Parker, and only Blake was the only one who defended Li Yang.
When Li Yang had the ball, Blake couldn't stop Li Yang's impact from approaching the basket, not to mention that Li Yang didn't have the ball in his hand at this time.
With a dodge accelerating, Li Yang directly overtook Blake, and then went straight to the basket from the right side.
While running to the basket quickly, Li Yang's eyes looked at Parker, there were no Lakers defenders in front of him at this time, and this was a very good opportunity to attack the basket.
Parker immediately understood the meaning in Li Yang's gaze, and just rushed to the three-point line, he pushed the ball out with both hands and sent it to the right side of the basket.
"Tony passes, Young, air relay ......"
"Young's cut was beautiful, Toney's pass was great, chance!"
Amid the shouts of Mike Brin and Van Gundy, Li Yang jumped high in the air, took the basketball in the air with his giant palm, and quickly smashed it into the basket!
"Bang!"
"Coax!"
The excitement of the Spurs fans has been completely ignited, and the huge cheers almost set off the entire arena!
"Tick!" and the referee's whistle sounded, and the Lakers called a timeout again.
Although D'Antoni didn't want to, he still had to call this timeout, and after a few rounds he could see that the lineup he was now on the court had no advantage over the Spurs' lineup in terms of playing "fast".
D'Antoni worked hard to adjust in the hope of turning the situation around, but with positional battles and running and bombing restrained by the Spurs, it is undoubtedly a fool's dream for the Lakers to do this.
At 90:105, the game was over, and the Spurs won the first game with a 15-point advantage and got off to a good start.
Li Yang became the best player on the Spurs bench in this game, and in the whole game, Li Yang got 23 minutes of playing time, got 13 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists.
