“Take it Back！”

The slogan of revenge against the Spurs sounded again in the Staples Center, and the Western Conference Finals G2 between the Lakers and the Spurs also began.

At the beginning of the game, Rasu Nesterovic, who had been soft for a long time, finally hardened for a while and helped the Spurs jump the ball.

However, the Spurs, who won the ball, could not make good use of this offensive opportunity.

Like G1, the Spurs were limited by who was supposed to hold the ball on the outside, and the rest of the players were lackluster.

It is also because there is no threat from the point of possession, and the Spurs' passing and cutting cannot be played.

The Spurs need Bowen to step up and play Fisher with his back, which shows how poor the Spurs are.

On the contrary, Fisher's top defense ability is okay! You must know that before Doon came to the Lakers, Fisher often made guest appearances as Kobe's singles trainer.

Jordan tweaked Pippen's defense, and Bryant also strengthened Fisher's physical confrontation and top defense.

Heat James can be blocked by Fisher's unicorn arm when he runs, but James stumbles, which shows the strength of Fisher's confrontation.

After Bowen found that Fisher didn't move much on the top of his back, he could only turn around and break through, but his old arms and legs couldn't run fast, and he couldn't get rid of Fisher's defense, so he could only make a jump shot.

The Spurs let Bowen play alone, which is like the Pistons letting Big Ben carry the ball.

Under Fisher's interference, Bowen's goal lived up to expectations and ended in iron.

O'Neal under the basket used Malone to jam Duncan, protected the backcourt rebound, and then passed the ball to Doon.

Because it's a Spurs, the Lakers don't have to play too fast.

After Douane took the ball, he held the ball in the top arc, and waited for O'Neal to take a slow walk to the front court, and then he started to block and dismantle his hand.

Obviously, Popovich still did some research and adjustments to Doon and O'Neal's blocking.

At this time, Duncan was seen standing at the free throw line, and Rasu Nesterovic was crouching under the basket.

Doon used O'Neal's cover to run along the three-point line to the left, and then used Malone to cover from the low post to the horn position to break through from a 45-degree angle to the basket.

Two screens in a row made Duncan's help defense completely ineffective.

When Doon burst to the basket, Parker and Lasu Nesterovic came over one after the other, and Doon was not afraid at all, just a simple high lob ball, and passed the ball to Malone who slipped down to the bottom of the basket.

Malone received the ball and sent it forward slightly and put the ball in the basket.

The Spurs, who were supposed to play passing, did not play the effect of passing, and the Lakers, who mainly played superstar basketball, completed a pass-cutting cooperation under the tandem of Doon.

There is no doubt that if this continues to play, the Spurs will definitely not have the slightest chance of beating the Lakers.

The first quarter played more than 5 minutes, and the score on the court came to 9-14, although the difference of 5 points in the first quarter was not much, but it is also a fact that the Spurs could not prevent the Lakers' blocking.

There was no way, Popovich could only call a timeout to adjust.

Ginobili replaced Parker on the court, and the Spurs' defense improved slightly, but the problem was that the Spurs were more difficult to score under the Lakers' defense.

Duncan can force three or forty points in other games, but against the current Lakers, he can only contribute 20+ points steadily, and no more.

Because the Lakers don't need Malone's offense, Malone's strength can also be used to defend Duncan.

Even, there is an O'Neill behind Malone.

Duncan, on the other hand, needs to help his teammates on the perimeter while maintaining an efficient scoring rate, and occasionally needs to carry O'Neal on the inside.

The burden on both offensive and defensive ends was pressed on Duncan's shoulders, causing Duncan to only show a heavy sword without a blade and an unpretentious appearance.

No one in the Spurs can score high points, and there is no way to effectively limit the Lakers' scoring, so in the end, they can only watch the Lakers complete their revenge and advance to the Finals.

So, is there an effective way to limit the Lakers' scoring?

Naturally, there is!

Although the Spurs didn't pay the luxury tax, they did spend a lot of money, and Duncan's contract is not particularly large, so where did all that money go?

Spurs don't raise idlers!

After more than 7 minutes in the first quarter, Doon and O'Neal were tired, and Doon chose to pass the ball to Kobe, and Kobe did not hesitate to take it all.

At this time, Bowen, who had been waiting for a long time, finally made a move on Kobe, oh no more!

Fortunately, Kobe Bryant was prepared, and although Bowen's stepping made Kobe fall down, Kobe was not injured, but had one more chance to make a free throw.

However, while Kobe Bryant stood on the free throw line without saying a word, Malone took the initiative to come to Bowen's side, pretending to compete for rebounds, but actually took the opportunity to hold Bowen's arm.

"You listen to me, if you dare to pad Kobe Bryant again, then I will abolish Duncan!"

Hearing Malone's whispered threat, Bowen's heartbeat seemed to slow down by a second.

However, at this time, Kobe Bryant actually missed the front hoof and hit the iron with free throws!

Malone's attention returned to the basketball, and he was about to jump, not wanting his arm to be caught.

That is, Malone is experienced in the game and has a quick enough reaction to turn around and unload the force directly, and at the same time raise the other arm to elbow towards the opponent's position, and then fall down, pretending that they are fighting against each other.

In other words, Horry, who used anti-joint techniques to remove Ma Long's arm, is also a little weak-hearted.

In order to prevent the situation of stealing chickens and rice, Horry always pays attention to Ma Long's movements.

Horry noticed that Malone suddenly broke free, and then used his special move, Marlon's elbow, to attack him fiercely, which immediately turned his head and turned to avoid it.

I didn't want to, but I was hit in the elbow by the experienced Ma Long, and I was hit hard in the chest, and the pain was incomparable, as if the bones were cracked.

Boom –

Horry couldn't bear it and fell to the ground first, and Malone pressed on him and launched a second attack on Horry.

It can only be said that the wicked have their own wicked grinding!

You know, Rodman couldn't help Malone back then, let alone a young man like Horry!

Horry is indeed dirty when he plays, and he is willing to do dirty work with his face, but when it comes to dirty, where can he compare to Carl Malone, one of the two evils of Utah?

Those who play with fire will burn themselves!

Horry received three championship rings with the Lakers by doing dirty work, and after finding out that the Lakers couldn't beat the Spurs, he chose the most difficult path - joining if he couldn't beat and became Popovich's right-hand man.

Now he wants to show his skills to help Duncan solve the trouble of Malone.

Who would have thought, in front of Ma Long, Ma Long is not used to it, and he teaches him to be a man with a slap on Ma Long's elbow.

It is worth mentioning that the referee only paid attention to the movement of the rebound, and did not notice the small movements under the basket, and unexpectedly some conflicts broke out during the period.

In the playoffs, it's normal to have action! I didn't care too much when I saw someone falling to the ground in a scramble for a rebound.

Besides, this was the home of the Lakers!

If there is no home whistle in the playoffs, is it still called the home field?

Therefore, even if the referees on the scene see it clearly, they will be biased in favor of Ma Long, after all, they also look down on players like Horry!

obviously has some incense with the Lakers, but he chose to be a traitor to the rival Spurs, and today he put on a posture of killing his relatives with righteousness, and in turn attacked the Lakers' players.

This kind of mad dog who bites everyone and eats by biting people indiscriminately, no matter where he goes, he will not be liked by real fans.

And it is impossible for the on-site referee not to understand the ball, even if they have a home team, there will be subjective emotions, but people like Horry basically don't look at it with serious eyes.

Having said that, the referee didn't blow the whistle, and the game was not interrupted.

Malone said that he was very familiar with this, and in the finals that year, he and Rodman hugged each other, pretending that nothing had happened.

This time too, choose to get up as if nothing happened, go to the backcourt to meet up with your teammates, and do a good job of defense.

After Ma Long returned to the defense, Horry could only endure the sharp pain in his chest and slowly get up from the ground.

Horry didn't expect in advance that his original intention was to abolish Malone and relieve Duncan's pressure, but he didn't want to be killed by Malone by taking the opportunity.

"Alas, trouble!" Horry could only cry out in vain and resign himself to fate.

The Lakers have a villain like Malone in charge, and the Spurs really can't use the conventional ones, and they can't make off-the-shelf moves on big scenes.

Therefore, if the Spurs want to win, the only thing they can rely on is Duncan's personal strength.

However, the Spurs only have one Duncan, the Lakers have a two-team OK combination, and Doon, the best rookie who was not selected to the best team, but played more fiercely than the best team players!

"Didn't you say that Shaq was injured and couldn't get back to the top?

Didn't it be said that Kobe Bryant was going to compete for the boss, and he was also affected by off-court factors?

Why did the Lakers win the championship as soon as I left the Lakers? ”

Horry can't understand why this year's Lakers have suddenly become so strong, and it seems that the Lakers in previous years did not have such dominance!
