Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

However, there is also a word, called the last stand. For the Lakers, this game is a back-to-back battle, they are undoubtedly standing on the edge of the cliff at this time, falling behind 1:3 and playing away from home, as long as they are not careful, they have to go home to fish.

'I'm going to give my best in the game and if I need to, I'll play the full 48 minutes. ”

Before the game, Kobe Bryant also expressed his determination that he would lead the Lakers to the end in this game, and the rest of the Lakers players also expressed their determination that the team would not accept the fate of elimination.

And in Game 5, the Lakers players did exactly that.

At this time, the fifth game between the two sides has reached the end of the third quarter, and the Lakers are leading the court.

Unlike the previous game, which didn't start well, Kobe Bryant had a hot hand on the offensive end of the game, scoring 11 points in the first quarter alone.

It wasn't just Kobe Bryant, Howard, Gasol and others played very hard in this game, and under the pressure of losing or eliminating, they showed a completely different energy on both offensive and defensive ends than in previous games.

At this time, the performance of the players is often beyond the scope of skills and tactics, relying on their own ability and fighting spirit in the game.

With the Lakers playing well, in the first quarter of the game, the Lakers had the advantage on the road, and they led by 12 points at 32:20.

In the second quarter, the Spurs played better than the first, they started from defense, began to slowly narrow the score, and after halftime, the Spurs rewrote the score to 57:50, and the margin narrowed to only 7 points.

After the start of the second half, the Spurs continued to put pressure on the Lakers, and now, with less than a minute left in the third quarter, the score has become 80-75, and the difference is 5 points.

In the middle of the third quarter, the Spurs tied the score in one round, but the Lakers then pulled the gap away.

The Spurs did not change their rotation in the lineup because they were behind, and the Spurs at this time except for Split who was the starter, the rest were all substitutes, Bonner, Li Yang, Ginobili, and Joseph.

On the other side, the Lakers still arranged two starters, Kobe Bryant and Gasol, on the court, and then partnered with Jamison, Goodlock, and Blake.

For the Spurs' offense, Ginobili was responsible for organizing the offense, and after Li Yang came out, he handed the ball to Li Yang again, and then ran on his own.

The Lakers did not arrange Kobe to defend Li Yang, Li Yang's impact was too strong, and it was too much physical exertion for Kobe to let Kobe defend him, and Kobe Bryant was against Ginobili, and his defensive experience was more effective.

Goodlock stood in front of Li Yang, at this time his heart was also very complicated, the two had played against each other in the Development League, Goodlock, as a player who had been in the NBA, actually had a psychological advantage over Li Yang.

But Li Yang's performance in that game was brilliant and was favored by the Spurs, and at this time, the status between the two is not the same.

Li Yang has become an important member of the Spurs' bench, and has been able to get very stable playing time in these playoff games, and even plays an important role such as defending Kobe Bryant on the court.

Although Goodlock won the MVP in the Development League, the playing time in the team was very unstable, and he could only get a few minutes of playing time in the transition time of the first or second quarter or the third or fourth quarter, even if it was, it was because of injuries in the team.

Goodlock is also very focused on defense at this time, and after a trip in the Development League, he understands how precious it is to be able to get the opportunity to play in the NBA.

However, compared to a few months ago, Li Yang's improvement is also obvious, Goodlock's defense is very hard, but it still allows Li Yang to break through the defense.

Li Yang's lethality on the inside has been fully proven in these games, seeing Li Yang rushing towards the basket, Gasol immediately moved his feet to make up for the defense, and the Lakers' defense began to shrink.

Li Yang did not rush into the three-second zone to attack directly, and after attracting the defense, the ball in his hand was immediately passed to Split.

After receiving the pass, Split easily passed the ball to Ginobili, who ran to cut in nearby.

The Spurs' successive guides have almost destroyed the Lakers' defense, and most of the Lakers' attention is focused on the restricted area at the moment.

But at this time, the Spurs' passing ball did not end, and Ginobili, who received the ball, rushed forward, and then threw the ball and sent it to Bonner on the outside.

Bonner was well aware of his role on the offensive end, and took a decisive shot after receiving a pass.

Bonner's shot was solid to help the Spurs further narrow the score, but this ball was judged to step on the three-point line, which can only be regarded as two points, but even so, the score of the two teams came to 80:77, and the difference between the two sides was only 3 points.

The Lakers attacked, and the ball was in Kobe's hands, because the Lakers' previous serve was very fast, and at this time, Li Yang and Ginobili had not had time to change their defenses, and it was Ginobili who defended Kobe.

However, Bryant did not attack directly with the ball, and after dribbling to the half, he handed the ball to Gasol in the high post.

Kobe Bryant and Gasol have been partners for many years, and they still know very well about Gasol's ability to play in high positions. Passing the ball out, Kobe immediately started running without the ball, and the rest of the Lakers players also began to cover for Kobe's run.

After turning around on the bottom line, Kobe Bryant returned to the left high post to receive the ball, and Ginobili followed the defense very tightly, almost as soon as Kobe Bryant got the ball, he had already posted it.

After getting the ball, a shooting feint swayed, Kobe Bryant shook Ginobili's center of gravity slightly, and then began to break through with the ball.

At this time, Split and Bonner were pinned down by Gasol and Jamison respectively, and Li Yang quickly abandoned Goodlock in the bottom corner to help Ginobili help defend Kobe.

Kobe Bryant didn't try to attack directly, seeing Li Yang rushing over to help defend, the ball in his hand quickly passed to Goodlock's hands.

Goodlock received the ball in the bottom corner, but didn't make a shot, because at this time, Li Yang had already rushed back quickly, and Bonner also rushed towards the bottom corner at this time.

"Matt, go back!"

Rushing towards Goodlock, Li Yang immediately shouted at Bonner, and by this time he could already see that Goodlock was about to pass the ball.

Bonner also reacted immediately after hearing Li Yang's shouting, and rushed back towards Jamison, but his speed was still a little slower, and Jamison received a pass from Goodlock and hit a three-point shot directly.

In the last round of the third quarter, Ginobili missed a three-point shot, and the score of the two teams stayed at 83:77, and after three quarters, the Lakers led by 6 points.
