After the first two games, the score was 2-0, and the third game was not easy to play as Spurs expected before the game.

Although the Lakers still did not have many unpredictable changes in their tactical coordination, in the third game, several stars of the Lakers played well, and even the Spurs could not stop it.

In the third game, the Lakers, who had their backs to the water, played a strong fighting ability, and several stars played very well in the game, Kobe Bryant played almost the whole game, scoring a game-high 37 points in 47 minutes, and Gasol and Howard also got a double-double.

It was not easy to score 37 points in the Spurs game, which was obtained under the rotation defense of Leonard, Green, and Li Yang, and Kobe's performance in this game also made many Lakers fans excited.

Of course, there are also many Lakers fans who are very worried about this, because even when Kobe Bryant is fighting hard, the Lakers only won by 7 points, and they still let the Spurs score 103 in this game.

Lakers fans are worried that in the face of the Spurs' defensive intensity, even Kobe Bryant will not be able to perform like this every game, and defense is still a problem for the Lakers to face.

The fears of Lakers fans soon became a reality, and after the start of Game 4, the Lakers' performance was not as strong as the previous game, especially Kobe, who played almost the full court in the previous game, Kobe's feel in this game dropped significantly.

With Leonard and Green on the Spurs' roster, coupled with excellent overall defensive rotation, Kobe Bryant will face huge defensive pressure almost every time he gets the ball.

After all, Kobe Bryant is no longer young, and his physical function still has a certain decline in all aspects, and it is not easy to score under the basket with such defensive intensity.

No, there are still 2 minutes left in the first quarter of the fourth game, but Kobe Bryant only scored 4 points, and 2 points were still free throws.

The starters on the Spurs' side have already rested one after another, and on the Lakers' side, Kobe Bryant and Howard are still on the court at this time, not that D'Antoni doesn't want Kobe to rest, but the score between the two sides at this time is really not allowed.

At 20:17, the Lakers fell into passivity from the start of the game and are still trailing by 3 points, and this is because Steve Blake just shot a three-pointer from the outside, and the difference between the two teams was 6 points before.

At this time, the offensive power belongs to the Spurs, and the Spurs' current lineup on the court is Split, Bonner, Li Yang, Ginobili, and Mills.

Ginobili was allowed to return by the team doctor before the game, but Popovich didn't let him on too early, with Li Yang being the first Spurs to be substituted on the bench, and Ginobili had just been on the court when he had a dead ball in the previous round.

Obviously, Popovich is still very cautious about Ginobili's use.

Similarly, Popovich also has a lot of trust in Ginobili, and Mills brought the ball to the court, and the ball was immediately handed over to Ginobili.

After Ginobili's comeback, even if there are two players who can control the ball on the court, Li Yang and Mills, the task of organizing the offense still belongs to Ginobili.

The Lakers' lineup on the court is Howard, Antoine Jamison, Andrew Goodlock, Kobe, Blake, because Li Yang has always been opposite Kobe Bryant before, so at this time it is Goodlock who is defending against Ginobili.

This Goodlock was the opposite player for Li Yang in the final game of the Development League against the Vipers, and he won the MVP of the Development League this season before being re-signed by the Lakers.

Although Goodlock is known as a mini mamba, it is clear that his ability is much worse than Kobe Bryant in all aspects, both offensive and defensive.

Ginobili dribbled the ball to the halfcourt and broke through with Split's pick-and-roll, Goodlock couldn't keep up, and Ginobili rushed straight to the basket with the ball.

Ginobili's breakthrough successfully attracted the Lakers' defense, however, Ginobili saw that there was no chance, and the ball was immediately thrown into Li Yang's hands.

After receiving Ginobili's pass, Li Yang did not rush to dribble and attack, because he found that Ginobili ran quickly after passing the ball, and Goodlock did not react to follow in time.

Ginobili ran out to the left three-point line, and Li Yang immediately passed the ball back, and at this time, Goodlock was two meters away from Ginobili.

Of course, Ginobili will not let go of such a good opportunity, and after receiving the ball, he shot directly outside the three-point line and hit the shot!

At 23:17, the margin that had just narrowed returned to 6 points again.

The Lakers' ball is undoubtedly in Kobe's hands, Li Yang bent down to stop Kobe, he did not relax his vigilance because Kobe's previous offensive efficiency was not high, Kobe Bryant may find his touch when.

Moreover, Kobe Bryant will not shoot less because of his own feel, on the contrary, he will sometimes even have more shots, Li Yang does not want to let the opponent find his feel because he does not give enough defensive pressure.

Li Yang's vigilance was not unreasonable, with the ball outside the three-point line, Kobe Bryant looked up at the basket, did not pass the ball, and directly pulled up the shot to shoot.

In the eyes of many, Kobe Bryant's excellent shot was not wise, because he didn't feel good today, and the team was still 7 points behind at this time, but this is Kobe's style.

At this time, Li Yang didn't have time to think about whether Kobe's shot was wise, and after seeing Kobe jump to defend, Li Yang quickly jumped up to interfere.

"Bang!" Li Yang's interference was indeed effective, and Kobe Bryant's hand was indeed not very good today, the ball smashed on the basket and popped up, and the ball was taken by Split.

The Spurs did not play a counterattack, and Li Yang had a lot of counterattacks in the first two games, so Kobe Bryant also paid attention to Li Yang's counterattack, and after the shot missed, Kobe Bryant directly pasted Li Yang.

Mills dribbled the ball to half court, and the ball was once again in Ginobili's hands, and Ginobili opened his hand to shoot.

Ginobili This is just a shooting feint, but this feint is so realistic that Goodlock immediately raised his center of gravity to jump up and defend, and seized this opportunity, Ginobili dribbled the ball directly to the basket.

Goodlock's defense had been completely broken through at this time, and seeing this, Kobe Bryant immediately abandoned Li Yang and stepped forward to make up for it.

Li Yang's current shortcomings have gradually been figured out, and Kobe Bryant also knows that Li Yang's shooting is very bad, so he can rest assured to make up for the defense at this time.

However, Li Yang also knew that his shooting was terrible, so he didn't stand there stupidly and wait, and he quickly rushed to the basket after Kobe Bryant left.

Ginobili spotted Li Yang's breakthrough and made a ground-hitting pass, and the ball was handed over to Li Yang in time.

After receiving the ball, he took a step forward and jumped back, Li Yang easily dunked and scored two points.
