Chapter 170, Little Trouble!
The referee threw the ball high up.
Gasol and Duncan took off almost at the same time.
Duncan won the jump, and Duncan gave the ball to Ginobili.
Ginobili gives the ball to Parker.
"Defense!"
"Defense!"
"Defense!"
Lakers fans shouted loudly in the arena.
Zhou Hang could also feel the frenzy of the atmosphere. It has been a long time since Lakers fans have seen the Western Conference Finals at home.
The Spurs' pace was very slow, and Parker was patiently directing tactics after he arrived in the frontcourt.
Zhou Hang marked Ginobili, and the two faced off directly. The Zen master's arrangement for Zhou Hang was also to continuously consume Ginobili on both ends of the offense and defense.
Ginobili is dangling, and it doesn't seem to be the main offensive point of this tactic.
Ginobili said to Zhou Hang: "Zhou, relax, I usually don't attack in the first team."
Zhou Hang said: "Manu, I'm curious, did Tim touch your hair? Last time I asked him, he actually said no. I think it's because of his hands touching it all the time."
Ginobili felt a little speechless about Zhou Hang's topic.
Ginobili said, "Zhou, I understand that this is provocation?"
Zhou Hang smiled and said, "Sorry, I'm just curious."
Ginobili said: "When you reach middle age, you will understand when the time comes."
After Ginobili said this, he immediately raised his hand for the ball. At this time, the Spurs' ball had already been guided to Duncan.
Zhou Hang didn't give Ginobili a chance to catch the ball, and kept appearing in the passing route between Duncan and Ginobili.
Duncan saw that Ginobili was entangled by Zhou Hang, so he didn't give the ball anymore, but started to observe other teammates.
The Spurs' play is complicated, with a lot of cuts and off-ball screens.
Duncan hit the ground to Parker who cut inside. Kobe didn't keep up with Parker's running position, and Parker slipped in.
Parker drives up the ball against Gasol.
2:0.
It was a difficult goal, but it was scored.
Parker's shooting rate at the basket is very high, which is close to the level of a big man, which is incredible for a guard.
As long as he gets to the basket, he will always have various ways to send the ball into the basket, which is hard to guard against.
The Lakers attack.
Zhou Hang dribbled the ball to the frontcourt.
Zhou Hang is becoming more and more used to the role of point guard, and now no defender feels that his dribbling ability is not good.
After Zhou Hang shipped to the frontcourt, he gave it to Kobe, and then he ran off the ball himself.
The Spurs' defense is stronger than that of the Jazz, mainly reflected in their insider Duncan.
Duncan is the Spurs' defensive system. Almost as long as he enters the three-point line, Duncan can help defend.
Gasol is very strong, but he didn't dare to single Duncan in the paint.
Zhou Hang has been entangled by Ginobili, and Zhou Hang is not allowed to catch the ball.
The Spurs' tactics are very smart. They know that to defend Zhou Hang, they must start defending from receiving the ball.
Bryant himself dribbles to the low post with Bowen defending him.
The two are old rivals, and they are very familiar with each other's offensive and defensive rhythms.
After Kobe came to the low post, he used a turnaround jumper after consecutive impacts.
Bowen gave enough confrontation, and Kobe's touch in the first round didn't open up, and the basketball hit the basket heavily and bounced out.
Ottobo controls the rebound.
The Spurs' offense still uses Duncan as the fulcrum, passing and cutting.
This time, it was Ginobili who slipped in with the help of Ottobo's anti-running, received a pass from Duncan, staggered Odom's rhythm with a European step, and made a layup.
4:0.
The two guards of the Spurs are different from other guards who don't like to go inside. They like to attack the basket, and there are also a lot of changes in the footsteps and skills under the basket, which makes Odom and Gasol a headache.
After all, Gasol and Odom are not orthodox centers. Both of them play power forwards and small forwards. This kind of defense at the basket is a bit worse.
Facing other guards, this kind of frame protection has little impact, but facing two top guards, Ginobili and Parker, it seems a bit passive.
The momentum in the Staples Arena was a little quiet.
The Lakers' offense is back.
The Spurs' defense is very strong, which the Nuggets have never brought to the Lakers for the Jazz.
The Spurs' defense made the Lakers players feel very uncomfortable, and Zhou Hang gave the ball to Kobe.
The Lakers' tactics can't run away.
Zhou Hang felt the strength of GDP. They are both strong on offense and defense. This game will look difficult.
Kobe is very experienced and didn't mess around. He gave the ball to Gasol on the right side of the free throw line.
Duncan consciously let Gasol take a small step. Gasol saw that his teammates did not run out of space, so he also chose his mid-range shot.
Gasol's hand did not throw away.
"frame!"
The basketball hit the rim hard.
The rebound was controlled by Duncan.
In the next few rounds, the Lakers' offense was in trouble. They didn't score in the first three minutes of the opening.
Zhou Hang also tried a three-pointer from the outside, but he failed.
Bryant missed all three possessions on offense.
The Lakers are in rare offensive trouble.
The Spurs' shooting percentage is not high, but their scoring is very stable.
Duncan continued to screen pick-and-roll or pass to Parker and Ginobili.
Their offense was smooth and steady under Duncan's support.
After the game time came to 7 minutes and 34 seconds, the score of the two sides came to 12 to 4.
Zen Master called to stop the game.
In the Lakers bench.
Zhou Hang raised his head to drink water. Ginobili's defense is not very good, mainly because his own rhythm is a bit poor, and he needs to adjust next.
Zen Master also knows the predicament the Lakers are facing. The bitter fruit of sweeping the opponent has begun to appear. The rest is good, but the player's state is gone.
Zen master decided to start with Zhou Hang: "Zhou, after you go to the frontcourt and play alone, you will face less defensive pressure. Paul, you should find a good opportunity to cover for Zhou."
"Zhou, if you can't play alone, play pick-and-roll with Kobe."
What Zen Master thinks now is to score first.
"OK!"
"it is good!"
Everyone in the Lakers nodded.
This round of competition is destined to not be as easy as the previous two rounds.
O'Neal said: "The Lakers encountered trouble at the beginning. It can be seen that due to not playing for a long time, their touch is a bit rusty, and the Spurs have just finished the tiebreaker. The rhythm of their players is still in the rhythm of the game."
Smith said: "Zen Master is also a little anxious, his opening tactics have been completely defeated!"
Barkley said: "The Lakers, who have always been going smoothly, are not feeling well now. They have encountered opponents of the same level as them."
Miller said: "The strength of the Lakers is still stronger, but the rhythm is now on the Spurs side, and the rhythm of the Spurs makes the Lakers uncomfortable."
Indeed, the Lakers have not encountered a hard stubble for two consecutive rounds, which makes them look a little uncomfortable on the scene.
