The Lakers lost this game completely, which everyone admitted, although the difference between the last two was only 15 points, but almost from the first quarter of the game, the Lakers fell into passivity. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

In this game, whether it is the positional offense or the running and bombing that D'Antoni is good at, it is completely limited by the Spurs' defense, and on the defensive end, the Lakers have no way to take the Spurs' offense.

This also allows everyone to see the gap between the two teams, which is not the difference in the strength of the players on both sides, but the gap in the overall tactical coordination.

After the game, the local media in Los Angeles commented one after another, on the one hand, to put pressure on the Lakers, and on the other hand, to support D'Antoni.

Of course, there are also some Lakers fans who are a little pessimistic, they think that the Spurs are too strong this year, although there is no Ginobili and Dio in the team now, the overall strength is affected, but it is still stronger than the Lakers.

Many fans and media also publicly criticized D'Antoni's tactics in the first game, and the Lakers had a rare lineup, but D'Antoni took a good hand, but he was not able to play a good game.

In the face of these reactions from the outside world, the Lakers can naturally feel the pressure, and the next game is still in San Donnio, if the second game is not won, and returning to Los Angeles with a score of 0:2 will undoubtedly be very passive.

The Lakers are preparing urgently, and the same is true for the Spurs on the other side, and the Spurs coaching staff wants to deal with the Lakers as quickly as possible, so that there will be more time for older players like Duncan and Parker.

The good news for the Spurs is that Ginobili's recovery is going very well and is expected to be back in another 5-7 days.

A day later, the two teams once again appeared at the home of Spurs for the second game.

Before the game, the Lakers also seemed to have gone through some arrangement, considering that Nash's state was not so good when he just returned, after the opening, D'Antoni let Kobe Bryant and Gasol in the high position organize the offense.

This is actually very similar to the tactics of Phil Jackson when he coached the Lakers to win the championship, but at this time D'Antoni can't control so much, and being able to win is the last word.

The Lakers' offense after the opening game did play much better than the previous game, and on the defensive end, Kobe Bryant took the initiative to ask his teammates to defend actively, and he also did a good job.

In contrast, the Spurs' offense didn't go too well today, Green and Leonard didn't feel very good today, and the team's offense at the start of the game mainly relied on Parker's scoring.

At 15:8, after half a quarter of the first quarter, the Spurs trailed by 7 points.

Seeing that the situation was not right, Popovich called a timeout, and directly made tactical adjustments, replacing Split with Bonner, and replacing Green with Li Yang.

In terms of tactical adjustments, Popovich also reduced Parker's ball handling, allowing Duncan to take the ball more and respond in the high post.

In this way, Bonner was ambushed outside the three-point line, and Duncan pulled high again, forcing the Lakers to stretch the defense, while Li Yang, Leonard, and Parker were waiting for the opportunity to cut into the basket without the ball.

Popovich's adjustment effect is very obvious, after the pause back to the court, Parker cut into the layup once, Li Yang slipped the bottom line to catch the ball and dunk, quickly stabilized the Spurs' offense.

Although the Lakers also know at this time that they should pay attention to defending the Spurs' off-ball cuts, it is one thing to know and another thing to be able to prevent it.

Defensively, there has been a noticeable reduction in practice since D'Antoni took over, and against the Spurs' efficient offensive and co-ordination tactics, their defense has always been leaky.

D'Antoni also tried to make some adjustments, such as keeping Howard on the inside and waiting for opportunities to make up for the defense, but Duncan's two mid-range shots directly cracked this defensive tactic.

At 27:25, after the first quarter, the Spurs narrowed the gap to just 2 points.

At the beginning of the second quarter of the game, Kobe Bryant, who had been on the court for a whole quarter, was replaced to rest, and with Kobe Bryant's departure, the defensive quality of the Lakers players who had no one to supervise on the court immediately declined, seizing the opportunity, and the Spurs played a wave of 6:0 small climax, directly overtaking the score.

In desperation, D'Antoni had no choice but to replace several main players, but at this time, the Spurs' outside shooting gradually found a feeling, and the situation was once again firmly controlled by the Spurs.

At 50:53, the first half ended, and the lead became Spurs.

Compared to the previous game, this game was relatively close, at least the Lakers overtook the score from time to time, and did not let the Spurs play too many offensive climaxes, and after the third quarter of the game, the two teams even tied the game.

However, in the crucial fourth quarter, the Spurs' advantage of paying more attention to overall coordination once again appeared, as the players on both sides were more engaged on the defensive end, the Spurs relied on cooperation to get the offensive style of play more easily, and the Lakers' lack of cooperation can only rely on the individual ability of the star The success rate is significantly lower.

Soon, the Spurs took another five-point lead, and the situation was once again in Spurs' control.

At the end of the fourth quarter, the Lakers caused some trouble for the Spurs, Kobe Bryant scored 5 points in a row, and Howard also grabbed a rebound in the front court to complete the offense, narrowing the gap between the two sides to only 1 point.

But the Lakers' defense buried the game, and the Spurs arranged a Danny Green strategy of running without the ball and then catching the ball and shooting, and in the face of this tactic, Kobe and Howard's defensive coordination mistakes led to Green getting an open shot from the outside.

Green also competed, shooting straight from beyond the three-point line, widening the gap to 4 points again.

In the final minute or so, Popovich lined up Split, Duncan, Leonard, Lee Yang, and Green, which is the Spurs' strongest defensive lineup right now.

Even if the Lakers have a top star like Kobe Bryant, under the defense of the Spurs, they have not been able to score for more than a minute, although in the end, after using foul tactics, Kobe Bryant hit a three-point shot, but after the difference has widened to 6 points, such a three-point came a little late.

96:101, the game ended, and the Spurs won the game again with a 5-point advantage, winning both home games and rewriting the score to 2:0!

Li Yang's statistics in this game are not as bright as the previous game, mainly because the Lakers paid attention to his counterattack, but after the whole game, Li Yang still had 6 shots and 4 shots, 2 free throws and 1 of 2 free throws, 9 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists.
