Popovich doesn't believe veterans like Garnett and Barkley can maintain their excellent form in such a high-intensity defensive battle as the playoffs.

This kind of defensive battle is not about attacking or defending to consume physical strength, but to consume physical strength all the time.

All the time, both teams are fighting against each other, both are attritional.

The physical strength of the veteran is not good, the recovery is not good, it is difficult to last, which is also the reason why many veterans are obviously very strong, but they can only retire and leave the NBA after they are old.

After that, after their physical strength is exhausted, their abilities will fall off a cliff.

In Popovich's view, Garnett and Barkley are not very good veterans who maintain their form like his family Duncan, they are both veterans who are about to retire, and such veterans, as they should be, can be seen soon.

So, Popovich wasn't as scared of Garnett and Barkley's strong start to the game as his assistant Budenholzer was.

"It's going to fall!"

"It's going to fall!"

"Their offensive efficiency will definitely fall, and next, it will be our stage, Kehuai's stage!"

Looking at Popovich, who was chattering a little at this time, Budenholzer felt that the sense of oppression and suffocation brought by this game almost made his whole person fall into the abyss!

Such a garbage Laker, under the leadership of Coach D, can actually bring so much pressure!

Bobo now, it almost feels like the bowstring has been full!

Budenholzer can actually understand the tremendous pressure on Bobo at this time.

If even such a rubbish Laker can't win!

Coach D with such a group of old, weak, sick and disabled can defeat the powerful Spurs he carried!

Then the blow to Bobo can be said to be fatal.

Can't lose!

In this series, Bobo has pressure not to lose!

The eighth in the west was found by Bobo himself!

Black Eight is Bobo's own choice!

Playing the Lakers and revenge Coach D is also Bobo's determination!

In such a situation, Bobo really can't afford to lose!

"Is the Lakers' offensive efficiency really going to drop?"

Budenholzer was not so convinced.

Bobo, in fact, doesn't believe it that much.

In addition to making the Spurs players on the court have more physical contact and confrontation with the Lakers players, Bobo can only wait!

Fortunately, in this game, Leonard's offensive performance was very good.

Although the Lakers got off McCarvey in this game, giving Leonard one less ATM, Pierce clearly felt that he was not very strong defensively in this game.

In this game, Pierce had a lot of offense.

Pierce has clearly chosen to focus most of his energy on the offensive end.

As for the effect, it is certainly not so good.

The Spurs' perimeter defense isn't weak.

Garnett and Barkley's offensive efficiency is against the sky, and Popovich is not inferior to Biyombo, just because he is afraid of losing both inside and out.

When the time comes, it will collapse.

Pierce didn't have a misplaced advantage over the Spurs' Finson, Leonard, Danny Green, and Biyombo.

Without the advantage of misalignment, even if it is a supergiant, it is difficult to ensure that it has a high-efficiency output.

Pierce, of course, is no different.

Therefore, the Lakers' offense in this game is an offensive system driven by singles.

Garnett singles.

Barkley singles.

Pierce singles.

Biyombo, who was trained like a husky in front of Garnett and Barkley, was like a big bad wolf in front of Pierce.

Garnett and Barkley's stamina really can't take turns attacking all the time.

If the two are really at their peak, it is difficult for two people to take turns to play singles and take turns throwing the whole game.

So, Pierce definitely has to step up and give the two enough time to rest.

Even, the rest time of Barkley and Garnett in this game is not short.

Garnett and Barkley were the same for six minutes, which was the time when the two took turns to do the work.

After the two are gone, the rest is left to Pierce.

Therefore, Pierce's playing time, shooting time, and consumption on the field are definitely the most among the players of the two teams in this game.

Pierce's pressure, enormous!

Because, Garnett and Barkley can only maintain the advantage of the inside line, and if they only go on one, they will be targeted by Duncan, and the Lakers' offense will not be so easy to open.

Even if the two only play one, the Spurs can still rest Duncan, and Split can also keep an eye on the two of them.

But the two of them are on at the same time, and the Spurs don't dare to play the combination of Duncan and Split, the two centers are indeed too slow, and in the end they can only play the combination of Duncan and Biyombo.

So that Garnett and Barkley can teach Biyombo a lesson.

So, this game is really watching the Lakers fans on the sidelines have a heart attack!

When Garnett and Barkley were on the court at the same time, the Lakers had the advantage.

After Garnett and Barkley went down, the Spurs had the advantage, after Garnett and Barkley went down, no one could withstand Duncan, McCarvey and Covington were replaced Although the defense is very strong, it is indeed a flaw, Duncan can play inside, and Leonard can also play alone.

So, for Lakers fans on the sidelines, the situation in this game was that Garnett and Barkley led by six points on the court, and then immediately the two went down, and Pierce led the team to lose the lead.

Then, after the Lakers fell behind, Garnett and Barkley came on the court again, led by six points, and then went off the court again, and then, Pierce led the team to lose again, and Barkley and Garnett played again.

Who can stand such a competition situation!

Don't say it's a fan!

Even the average professional can't stand it.

In front of the TV, Kerr, Yi Jianlian, Dream Chasing, Curry, Klay, Brother Yi and Love, the coaches and players of the Warriors, felt that their palms were sweating at this time.

"This is Coach D, even such a rubbish team can bring out such combat effectiveness, this is Coach D, this is the strongest head coach in NBA history!"

Cole's voice trembled.

He was a disciple of Popovich.

However, he admits that Coach D is the GOAT in the history of the NBA, the strength of the coaching world!

In terms of strength, his teacher Popovich was the ceiling he once thought he was, the ceiling of omnipotence, but it wasn't until Coach D appeared!

Compared with Coach D, his teacher Popovich is really not so sharp in offense, even his best defense...... It doesn't seem so invincible anymore!

Even, in such a competition, he is worried about whether his teacher can withstand it!

At this time, Bobo has been squatting on the sidelines from time to time, standing up and shouting a few words from time to time, and then squatting on the sidelines, and the cycle repeats.

Because, at this time, the Spurs fell behind by six points, and Garnett and Barkley went down to rest again.

Next is the Spurs' chasing moment, but can the Spurs really keep catching up with the score like this?

If you keep behind, if your opponent can have a way to be ahead all the time, you're going to be nervous, and anyone will be nervous to the point of shaking.

Especially this game is so meaningful!

Garnett and Barkley came off and Pierce came on.

The Lakers players on the court at this time are Antetokounmpo, Ibanks, Pierce, Covington and McCarvey.

The Lakers were almost a seven-man rotation in this game.

In this game, Du Kang almost took his advantages to the extreme.

Spurs are not a weak team, on the contrary, this team is strong.

Although his Lakers are not weak, if he can't play to his strengths to the extreme, then he can only die Garnett, Barkley and Pierce.

This is definitely not something that Du Kang wants to see.

The dream back to the peak card hanging on Barkley's body, if he fights to the death, he can't recover for three days, so he can only play one game and rest.

This is definitely not going to work.

Without Barkley, Garnett, now Ganett, would definitely not be able to do Duncan.

The Lakers can't beat the Spurs either.

Therefore, you can't die the three old people.

Therefore, you can only give full play to your advantages.

Ross Barkley, Garnett, every minute and every second they were on the court, were effective and they couldn't afford to waste a single thing.

Especially Barkley.

The slightly good news is that Garnett and Barkley playing at the same time not only protect Garnett, but also protect Barkley, both of them play at the same time, the Spurs dare not force the inside, and the pressure on Barkley will be much less.

Otherwise, with Barkley's height, without Garnett, Barkley will definitely be stared at, will be beaten and vomited blood on the defensive end, and when the time comes, let alone attack, he can't do anything, he can only rest and be fucked, and then rest after being fucked, and continue to be fucked after resting.

This one is too miserable.

Therefore, Du Kang has no choice, don't look at him who has always been calm and calm in the team, he has not panicked at all, and he has never put the Spurs in his eyes, but this is too much of a test of micro-exercises.

The Lakers want to beat the Spurs, there's a chance, there's a chance.

It's just that such an opportunity is not for ordinary coaches.

The average coach with this Laker doesn't have any chance to beat the Spurs.

Only Du Kang can, because Du Kang can use the system to continuously simulate the game to micro-manipulate the command of the game.

The simulation results of the playoffs are indeed not credible, but the process of micro-manipulation can be exercised.

When to do what to do, Du Kang can quickly react, he has simulated so many games, basically, any situation, can be prepared.

Whether you can beat others or not, don't talk about it first, the experience of being beaten, Du Kang ranks first, and no one dares to rank second!

"Coach, it's now the fourth quarter, can we let Garnett and Barkley play on the court for 12 minutes in a row, fight for one quarter, we can win, why do you have to change now!"

"At this time, KG and Charles, must be changed! Their stamina is now the most suitable! ”

That's micro-!

In this match, Dukang would like to thank Barkley and Garnett for their efforts.

At the same time, we need to thank Pierce for his efforts.

In this game, the rest of the audience only saw Pierce's iron, just like Kobe's 1747 game.

However, what Dukang saw was that Pierce gave Garnett and Barkley more time to rest.

After Garnett and Barkley went off, the Lakers struggled to even score 60 points based on the experience of the last game.

In the first quarter of the game, Popovich announced in front of Du Kang that the Lakers still couldn't score 60 points in this game, which was not a joke.

The Spurs' defense, if you don't have super singles, really can't get through.

In the face of such a Spurs, offensive efficiency is not important, being able to score is important!

Do you really think that if Dukang wants Garnett and Barkley to rest for six minutes, Popovich will give it?

Garnett and Barkley were able to have these breaks, and he was able to work on Garnett and Barkley's stamina to maximize their recovery, all thanks to Pierce's not so effective, but score-worthy offense!

Without Pierce's persistence and hard work, Garnett and Barkley would not have had such a long rest, they would not have been able to maintain their best physical strength and condition, and they would not have been able to have such high efficiency, and the Lakers would not have had a chance to lead the Spurs, and in the end, the Lakers would have been worn to death by the Spurs!

And not to scare the Spurs to death like they are now!

It won't be like this, shocking the whole world.

Du Kang looked at the court, and at this time, the Lakers attacked again.

As soon as Garnett and Barkley went, the Spurs relied on Duncan's inside shot to score two points and chase the difference to four points.

Therefore, this offense is quite important for the Lakers.

If you score, it's still six points, if you don't score, it's four points, and it may even become two points in the next round!

At this time, the ball once again came to the hands of Pierce, who had just come on the field,

After Pierce received the ball, there were no superfluous thoughts.

Cooperate?

It's almost a waste of time.

"In this game, the Lakers and the Spurs almost didn't make mistakes in defense, if you are a head coach who likes to defend, then this game is definitely the greatest defensive battle in NBA history!"

"Kenny, I agree with you, apart from Garnett and Barkley against Biyombo, this match, not even a single round was a misplaced attack, it's incredible!"

"Shaq, your requirements are too strict, Biyombo is also an inside line, strictly speaking, KG and Charles playing Biyombo are not misplaced!"

"OK, you're right, that's why the shock that Coach D brought to us in this game is so terrifying! If Coach D is given a Wade, he can really beat the Spurs in this game! Replace Wade with Pierce, this game, the Lakers won, even, replace Pierce with Wade, this series, Coach D is really likely to take the Lakers to defeat the Spurs! ”

"Even without Wade's D coach, it scares Popovich out now!"

"The only thing Coach D did wrong in this game was to make Pierce the main point of attack after Garnett and Barkley were off the court, and the contrast between him and Leonard in this game was too strong!"

"I think so too, Coach D can slightly stagger Garnett and Barkley by two or three minutes, so that Pierce doesn't have to shoot so much, play so many irons, or let Garnett and Barkley have an extra minute or two at the same time!"

After Kenny Smith and Barkley finished speaking, on the court, Pierce faced Leonard's close defense, broke through to the right without success, and finally could only turn back and shoot a difficult jumper when the 24-second time was about to come.

Bang!

Strike iron!

The Lakers fans at the scene sighed and exclaimed.

After the Spurs picked up the backcourt rebound, they began to attack, and the Spurs' signature defensive offense was surprisingly slow.

Now Duncan is also resting off the court, and Leonard is the main offense on the court, Leonard did not press the time like Pierce, but played a little faster.

Duncan is not on the court, and the Spurs can be a little less pressing.

Facing Pierce's defense, in the last game, Leonard will block and make substitutions to play McCarvey.

But in this game, Leonard felt that there was no need to change the defense.

Pierce's defensive aggressiveness in this game was average.

Fortune!

Fortune!

Fortune!

Fake Cast!

Fake Cast!

Fake Cast!

Pierce wasn't deceived!

Really cast!

Pierce also failed to judge the success of jumping up early, so he could only take half a step forward and stretch out his right hand to interfere.

Leonard, who was in the air, almost leaned his body back to the extreme!

Sell!

Basketball flying in the air!

At this time, the hearts of the Lakers fans at the scene were already nervous to the point of collapse.

And Popovich, who was squatting on the sidelines, was already shaking with his fists at this time!

Brush it up!

Hit!

The Lakers fans at the scene were silent!

And Popovich, who was on the sidelines, jumped up in an instant from a squatting state, waving his right hand and shouting loudly.

"I knew we could catch up, I knew we could catch up!"

"Coach D, do you see that? We're catching up again, let's make substitutions, bring Garnett and Barkley up! Only then will you have a chance to !! ”

Watching Popovich rush to Coach D again to celebrate wildly, Staples, who had been silent just now, let out a deafening boo.

And Du Kang, who was sprayed by Popovich, was smiling and unmoved.

The game on the pitch continues.

The Lakers attacked, and Pierce singled again, and this time, Pierce still didn't hit.

Bang!

After playing again, Pierce scored two in a row.

Fortunately, Leonard didn't hit this time either.

The difference between the two teams is still 2 points, and the Spurs still haven't tied it.

The Lakers' offense again, still Pierce.

Pierce is in the press time.

Pierce looked at Leonard in front of him and felt his palms sweat.

How much iron did he hit in this match?

He couldn't remember!

But!

"I have to vote!"

"Kobe Bryant can do it, I can do it too!"

Break through, turn around, lean back!

Facing Leonard's long arm, Pierce made another difficult shot!

This time, Pierce's movements are very similar to Kobe!

Even Kobe Bryant, who was clenched with his fists on the sidelines, could see that he was too much like himself!

"Will Pierce possess Kobe Bryant and save the Lakers?!"

O'Neill is shouting loudly!

But!

Bang!

Still didn't hit!

The scene sighed again!

"It's not Kobe after all, Pierce isn't Kobe after all!!"

Didn't hit.

Pierce clenched his fists and silently returned to the defense.

Looking at Pierce's back, Leonard was expressionless and took a deep look.

Spurs attack.

Because he didn't hit before, Leonard didn't attack this time and chose to let his teammate Finsen attack.

That's great, Finson is a three-pointer.

Also didn't hit!

Finson was in a hurry.

"Coach D, did that three points from Finsen just now make your heart twitch, hahahaha......"

Popovich, who has always disliked three-pointers, didn't scold Finson this time.

"Scared, right? Hahahaha...... Coach D, Finson is teasing you! Hahahaha......"

Yes, Finson's three-point point is in a hurry and doesn't meet his requirements, but it's also excellent to scare Coach D.

It's just that to Popovich's slight displeasure, Coach D still has a smile on his face.

Even!

The smile on Coach D's face is a little brighter!

What?

Popovich followed his gaze and looked at the court!

It's still Pierce!

It's still a breakthrough, a turn, a step-back, a step-back jumper, and a mid-range jumper!

It's still so much like Kobe!

This time, the ball is right!

This time, after Pierce throws, he falls directly to the ground, which shows how much he leaned back this time!

Brush it up!

Basketball hits!

After a brief suffocating silence, Staples boiled!

"Oh my God!! Ferric tetroxide!! This familiar ferric tetroxide!! ”

Live Lakers DJs are going crazy!

Kobe Bryant on the sidelines even shouted frantically along with him.

And Popovich on the sidelines of the court was dumbfounded.

And Du Kang ......

"Bobo, you lost, 70 points."
