Chapter 110: Spurs' Strategy

If Li Yang's block before angered Kobe Bryant, then Li Yang's dunk this time completely angered Kobe!

Li Yang actually broke through to complete the dunk under his defense, and shouted to demonstrate to him, Kobe's gaze changed from cold to ...... Well, even colder, he's going to fight back. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

After coming to the half, Kobe took the initiative to ask for the ball, and he was taking the ball in the front, and at the same time signaling all the other players to pull away, and he wanted to play alone.

Dribbling breakthrough, because Li Yang was a breakthrough before, so at this time, Kobe Bryant also chose to break through and fight back.

In terms of speed and explosiveness, the current Kobe Bryant is indeed not Li Yang's opponent, but in terms of controlling the rhythm of the breakthrough, Kobe Bryant has done a better job.

Li Yang also reacted quickly to keep up with the defense, and jumped up at the end to try to interfere with Kobe's layup, but was still fouled by Kobe.

Kobe Bryant made two free throws, and the ball returned to the Spurs again, and he had just been fouled by Kobe, and Li Yang was naturally unconvinced.

After receiving a pass outside the three-point line, there was another large shaking change, and Li Yang once again found space to break through from Kobe's side.

Li Yang's large shaking combined with his sharp first step is really too incomprehensible, even Kobe's defensive experience, in the face of Li Yang's absolute speed and explosiveness advantage, it is difficult to make effect.

Unlike Kobe Bryant's time difference when attacking Li Yang, using his absolute advantage in impact, Li Yang directly left Kobe behind him and rushed into the basket.

"Stop him!

Looking at this scene on the court, the Lakers fans on the sidelines shouted, and Gasol did move his steps to make up for the defense, but he still couldn't stop Li Yang's offense.

"Tick!"

With the referee's whistle, Li Yang leaned on Gasol and hit a layup after jumping!2+1!

"sh*it!" The Lakers fans who were still shouting excitedly just now directly burst out into foul language at this time.

Kobe Bryant scored a goal, Li Yang hit back with a violent dunk, Kobe Bryant's offense caused a foul, Li Yang simply came to 2+1, what a hell!

Kobe Bryant controlled the ball past half court, and at this time, Popovich stood up on the court, and it was clear that he was worried that the young Li Yang would go to Kobe Bryant again.

Li Yang singled out Kobe Bryant on the offensive end, Popovich naturally has no opinion, Li Yang's breakthrough is sharp now, if only Kobe Bryant defends alone, it is not easy to completely stop Li Yang.

However, Li Yang alone defended Kobe Bryant on the court, which Popovich did not allow, especially when other players pulled it so open.

Popovich didn't want Kobe Bryant to find an offensive touch through such a heads-up, and for Popovich, who has been in the league for many years, he knew very well that once a super scorer found an offensive feeling, it would definitely not be a good thing for the team.

"Bag Clip!"

On the sidelines, Popovich shouted into the court, and at the same time made gestures, signaling that the Spurs players could not let Li Yang go alone to defend Kobe.

Li Yang knew that Popovich's gesture was mainly done to himself, so he immediately nodded, indicating that he was very calm now and would do a good job of covering Kobe.

At the same time, after coming to the half, Li Yang quickly gestured to his teammates, signaling his teammates to help defend the attack.

Li Yang really wanted to go head-to-head with Kobe Bryant, but it was enough to have the few rounds just now, he not only blocked Kobe's turnaround and step-back jumper, but also completed a breakthrough dunk under Kobe's defense, and then made a layup.

At least, in the first few rounds, he didn't fall behind, and was even able to gain the upper hand.

Of course, Li Yang also knows that if he is really head-to-head with Kobe, he has no chance of winning, after all, Kobe's offensive skills are much better than him, but Li Yang knows better that preventing Kobe Bryant and helping the team win the game is his victory.

The Spurs began to pinch Kobe, Kobe Bryant's shooting touch today was not very good, even if he scored 4 points in the last two rounds, it was not enough to make his hand suddenly very good.

So at this time, once the Spurs started to pinch and didn't let him have a chance to hit the inside, Kobe Bryant's scoring became difficult again.

If the Spurs decide to pinch a player, their pinch is absolutely decisive, as long as Kobe Bryant gets the ball in the half, whether it is outside the three-point line or the back of the baseline, they do not hesitate, and in such a situation, Kobe Bryant often does not even have a chance to shoot.

Bryant's split ball after being caught did create some opportunities for the rest of the Lakers, but the Spurs didn't make it too easy for other players to score thanks to their excellent rotation defense.

That's where Spurs have been strong this season, and they've done a great job of working together as a team, both offensively and defensively.

The margin began to fluctuate between 5 and 10 points, and then the main players of both sides returned to the court, and the Spurs were unable to pull the score away, but the Lakers were also unable to close the gap further.

At 53:46, after the first half, the Spurs led by seven points.

At halftime, in the away team's locker room, Li Yang and others began to rest and recover according to their own habits, while in the middle of the locker room, Popovich was discussing the tactics of the second half with the assistant coaches.

It wasn't until about five minutes before the re-entry that Popovich began to gather all the Spurs players to set up their tactics.

"We did a good job in the first half, but in the third quarter, we needed to control the tempo, keep the offensive efficiency, and the goal was to keep the margin above six points and then force the opposition to stay on the court after the fourth quarter. ”

Speaking of this, Popovich made a point of emphasizing: "Especially Kobe, who played 47 minutes in the previous game, played half a full game today, and if the difference is 6 points or more after the third quarter, he may continue to stay on the court." ”

"In the fourth quarter of the game, Manu and Yang, you need to bring up the rhythm, especially when Kobe Bryant is there, bring the rhythm up and let them run! If you can do this, in the last half of the game, Kobe's physical strength will not be able to keep up, that is, we will directly win the opportunity to win the game!"

Popovich took the lead in the overall arrangement of the second half of the game, Li Yang and the other players listened to Popovich's arrangement, although the second half of the game had not yet started, Li Yang already felt that the Spurs had a great chance of winning.

If the Spurs can really stabilize the point difference at more than 6 points in the third quarter of the game, or even greater, then Kobe Bryant is very likely to continue to stay on the court.

As for whether the Spurs can keep the margin at 6 points or higher after the third quarter of the game, it depends on the Spurs players playing in the third quarter.

So at this time, Popovich began to make detailed arrangements for the tactics at the beginning of the third quarter to ensure that his team's advantage could continue to be maintained.
