Chapter 663
From being 8 points behind to overtaking by 2 points, it was almost a blink of an eye.
"I still say that, the Lakers' bench lineup is a problem." Reggie Miller said.
"I don't deny that replacing Xu now may bring the situation back, but this still cannot cover up the problem of their weak substitute lineup."
Reggie Miller is being objective.
Indeed, now that Xu Xuan is replaced, the Lakers may recover the score again, but what's the point?
The substitute lineup has scored 3 points so far, and the opponent has played a wave of 13 to 3 advantages. If there is no problem with the substitute lineup, then there is nothing wrong with it.
"Actually, I thought the Lakers would do something during the trade deadline. After all, the record is so good now, and there is still room for salary. They can spend some money on the bench lineup, but they didn't do anything, and they were too calm."
"Do you really think that their lineup does not need to be strengthened? Or is it too confident?"
Everyone thought that the Lakers had to do something before the trade deadline, but they didn't do anything, and they couldn't be calm.
"Perhaps this is their strategy, to respond to all changes with the same."
The game continues.
Frank didn't rush to make substitutions.
He can still see the strengths and weaknesses of his lineup. Although the current situation is in dire straits, he still chooses to trust his players.
On the field.
Lakers offense.
Russell held the ball across half court.
Cheers came from the scene, and Staples fans were cheering for the home team.
This ball, Russell did not disappoint the fans, this is a very beautiful crossover——
Old Manu didn't check for a while, and was directly shaken away. Then, Russell went straight to the penalty area, jumped high, and scored with a domineering two-handed dunk——
Boom!
The Spurs' rims are trembling!
"Good shot! Man!!" Xu Xuan also stood up and cheered for the players on the field with his teammates.
25 to 25, another tie!
The Spurs attack.
The old demon knife attacked by himself.
From the three-point line, a gorgeous snake-shaped breakthrough, continuous turns and changes of direction, forced a bloody path, and scored a throw.
Although I am getting older and my pace has slowed down, the rhythm is still there.
Rhythm is king.
27 is better than 25!
There is still time for the final attack in the first quarter.
16 seconds.
Russell is pressing the rhythm.
This attack is very important.
Because the substitute lineup came up to the present, they only scored 5 points, which can be said to be very pitiful.
If the offense is scored, it’s okay, why, because if it is scored, at least it can be tied, but if it cannot be scored, it will be embarrassing, leading by 8 points, and falling behind, it’s only half a quarter.
frontcourt.
on the three-point line.
The Spurs are already heavily defended.
With a big bald head on his head, Lao Yaodao met Russell.
A battle between two defenders old and new.
"Shh!"
Didn't make people wait much.
Russell's first step has already been taken.
The first step is very fast!
Manu twisted his waist and wanted to keep up, but he was getting older, even if he was heading in the right direction, his speed was too slow.
Russell's first step has basically thrown away Manu.
But it's fine.
The Spurs have defense!
Seeing that his breakthrough attracted the defense, Russell, who had already reached the free throw line, had no head shot, and threw a jump pass to Lou Wei in the bottom corner.
Lu Wei didn't have a chance either, because Manu defended him.
Then pass the top of the arc to Barnes.
Barnes didn't know when he went around the top of the arc, which was an open space.
Catch a three-point shot --
"Shh!"
Barnes shot very calmly, and the ball went straight into the net, very simply!
The first quarter is over.
27 is better than 28!
The Lakers overtook the score again and came back.
"It would be exciting if this game is played like this. It's very anxious, the situation is unpredictable, and no one knows who will win in the end." Kenny Smith said.
"The Spurs didn't play very well in the first half of the quarter, but they came off the bench, especially Manu played really well. A substitute can recover the situation from being 8 points behind. This is simply nothing more that can be asked for." Barkley smiled. Rubbing his head: "If we don't make it right today, the Lakers will lose. Manu is in great shape."
"Charles, it's really not easy to hear the four words that the Lakers are going to lose from your mouth." O'Neal covered his face and said in disbelief.
"Well! Isn't what I said the truth? As far as the state is concerned, the Spurs are really good here." Barkley also laughed.
The two sides continued to make substitutions in the second quarter.
On the Lakers side, Russell was replaced and Nick Young was added, but the other four remained unchanged.
On the Spurs side, Adelaide was mentioned, ready to take the lead.
But as soon as Yang Shaoxia came up here, he hit three three-pointers in a row, which directly disgusted Ade.
Margot!
Didn't you agree that I will come up to take advantage?
Didn't it say that the Lakers' substitutes are all rookies?
What the hell is this three-pointer?
As soon as Nick Young opened, Lu Wei also opened. The two teamed up and scored the first 15 points. The Lakers played a wave of 15 to 6.
33 to 43, in the blink of an eye, the Lakers led by 10 points.
"Look, there are surprises everywhere in life." Barkley said helplessly to Reggie Miller, who had just said boldly but is now silent: "Life is like this, it can always surprise you when you don't expect it, and this surprise , it's hard for you to think about it or not."
What did you say just now?
Just now I said that the Lakers' bench has a big problem, and the state of the Lakers' bench is extremely poor. As a result, Yang Shaoxia immediately taught him to be a man.
This current world news came too fast.
Reggie Miller couldn't think of it either. The key is that the Lakers really didn't play well off the bench just now.
It's okay for him to say that. Who would have thought that Nick Young, who is so depressed, would suddenly go up and hit three three-pointers.
A little speechless.
"Let me just say it, you can't speak so early, right Reggie? Right Charles?" Kenny Smith said with a suppressed smile: "Charles, your mouthful of tainted milk seems to have killed the Lakers, no Could it be that you just took the opportunity to send Nick a message?"
This is of course a joke.
But Reggie Miller was black.
What the hell, is face slap really that fast?
Before I could react, I slapped him down with a slap.
"Even so, I still stick to my point of view just now. This kind of short-lived style of play cannot become the norm, and this kind of style of play is also the most vain. I don't think this can be regarded as their own strength." Reggie Miller insisted.
That said, there is nothing wrong with it.
After all, the matter of scoring three three-pointers in a row does seem quite sci-fi.
"Beep!"
But after all, Popovich still requested a timeout.
This Nick Young is a well-known blower, and he has won three of them. If he doesn't call, he will probably win the fourth one. Popovich doesn't dare to gamble.
All the main players of the Spurs are back.
Parker, Manu, Kaka, Alder and Gasol.
Manu was still on the field, and his sister-in-law also came up.
My sister-in-law averaged just over 20 minutes per game during regular time in the Spurs this season, not much. After all, he is getting older, and Popovich still wants him to save some energy for the playoffs.
On the Lakers side are Xu Xuan, Nick Young, Barnes, Randall and Yi Jianlian.
Yang Shaoxia, who was outstanding just now, was still left on the field.
There are 7 minutes and 05 seconds left in the second quarter.
The Spurs attack.
Parker held the ball across half court.
The Spurs' current lineup should be the lineup they are preparing for the playoffs, and it should also be the most perfect lineup in Popovich's mind. Otherwise, they won't be playing at this time when they are 10 points behind. The lineup to chase points.
on the three-point line.
Ade put up the pick and roll.
The cover works well.
Now the Lakers are still misplaced defense.
That is, the first and second positions are wrongly defended, Xu Xuan defends Manu, and Nick Young defends Parker.
Yang Shaoxia's offense just now was invincible, but his defense... I won't talk about it, a tear of bitterness.
As soon as Ade came up, Yang Shaoxia's footsteps naturally became chaotic.
You don't need to stop it, it will be messed up naturally.
And Randall, limited by his reaction, didn't catch up with this step, and Parker got a chance.
"Shh!"
Three point hit!
36 is better than 43!
A beautiful attack.
The game continues.
Lakers offense.
Xu Xuan held the ball across the half.
on the three-point line.
Yi Jian put on the pick-and-roll.
The Lakers also play the pick and roll.
The pick-and-roll tactic, how should I put it, is the kind of simple, badly played tactic, but no matter how bad it is, the effect is still the best here.
The Spurs switched defenses.
Compared with Randall, sister-in-law's actions and pre-judgment are too high.
As soon as Yi Jianlian brought it up, her sister-in-law was already in place.
Seeing the cautious and prepared sister-in-law in front of him, Xu Xuan chuckled in his heart.
Sister-in-law is still easy to use, just like this ball, defending neither far nor near, just blocked all his offensive angles.
Xu Xuan didn't hit hard.
Hitting his sister-in-law, it is not impossible for him to run into it forcefully, but it is unnecessary, because there is a vacancy in the bottom corner, and Randall is emptied.
Xu Xuan threw the ball over, and Randall caught the ball and shot——
"Shh!"
Three point hit!
Exactly!
36 is better than 46!
Xu Xuan gave Randall a thumbs up.
An excellent insider must have an outside shot, otherwise, it would be too simple.
Although the Spurs adjusted their lineup and came up to score once, the Lakers' scoring rhythm has not been lost.
Just half a catty or two.
Parker dribbled the ball across half court.
This time it's on the left sideline.
Xiaoka catches the ball at the top of the arc, takes a step in and then makes a mid-range jumper——
An unpretentious attack.
When Xiaoka shot, the basket was crowded, but the ball did not rebound and went directly into the net.
38 is better than 46!
"Xiaoka's offense looks really easy, effortless, and it comes as soon as it is said." Kenny Smith praised.
When is such a person the most powerful?
Best in the playoffs!
What the playoffs need most is this extremely stable middle distance!
Lakers offense.
Randall and Nick Young both performed on the outside just now. Suddenly, the Spurs' outside defense suddenly tightened up, and no one dared to let it go now.
It is very troublesome to let anyone who can vote.
Manu single-handedly defends Xu Xuan in the frontcourt.
For a veteran, this is not an easy task.
But during the timeout just now, Popovich also said that Leonard needs to focus more on offense, so Manu needs to be on top of defense.
Just go to the top, and Manu has nothing to say.
However, based on his difficult footsteps to defend against Russell just now, it is naturally more difficult to defend against Xu Xuan.
I saw that Xu Xuan made a simple first step across——
crossover——
The flower-piercing Butterfly Step stepped out subconsciously.
Too deceptive!
But Manu judged the right position, but did not keep up with Xu Xuan's footsteps.
His footsteps were too slow compared to Xu Xuan's. In desperation, he tried to grab Xu Xuan's pants but failed. Xu Xuan sprinted directly to the basket.
There is supplementary defense.
It's Gasol!
Stand under the basket with your hands raised high, blocking the mid-air territory.
But if you are so anti-sister-in-law, you are opening the door wide!
It's hard not to buckle!
Xu Xuan is not polite either.
If Gasol fights and retreats, it's okay to retreat and defend, but if he stands on defense like this, then don't blame the brothers for being rude.
Don't blame the brothers for not being human, just blame the sister-in-law.
Thinking of this, a cruel smile appeared on the corner of Xu Xuan's mouth, facing Gasol's defense, he jumped up -
next second.
"boom!"
"boom!"
There were two loud bangs in a row.
Then, the Lakers irons at the Staples Center were all boiling! ! ! ! !
"Slowly slowly slowly!!! Xuan!!!!!!"
The DJ at the scene captured the picture in an instant, and then hissed and shouted.
"Is it a button? Is it a button?"
"Ahahaha, just as I thought, I just saw Gasol defending, and I knew what was going to happen, and it did."
"I'm Gasol, why was I dunked again! Brothers, why was I dunked again."
"If you want me to say that you shouldn't defend, it's meaningless for you to defend. It's better to let Xu Xuan buckle it. It's two points anyway."
The fans talked a lot, but Gasol himself didn't feel that he had been dunked too many times, and it didn't matter if it was more or less.
Xu Xuan was not too arrogant, because Gasol is a modest gentleman, so he came down directly after the dunk, and there was no physical conflict in the negotiation.
The Spurs counterattacked quickly.
When Xu Xuan just landed, Ade over there had already sent the baseline ball.
Parker led the way through half court and scored a layup.
Returned a ball.
Is this the Spurs?
Such a high level of execution is truly terrifying.
Frank's eyes narrowed.
In his opinion, the Spurs are either unable to solve it, or have no way to deal with it, but their discipline is too good, and the discipline that has lasted for ten years is too deep and thick compared to those upstarts.
40:48.
Lakers offense.
Xu Xuan organized from outside the three-point line, and Yi Jianlian helped with a pick-and-roll in the bottom corner, cut to the basket, received a lob from Xu Xuan, and scored a layup.
40 is better than 50!
There is still a 10-point difference, and it is not easy for the Spurs to catch up.
low.
Ade asked for the ball again.
Still singles Randall, just eat you hard.
42:50.
Turning around, Nick Young missed a three-pointer from the outside, the rebound was accepted by the Spurs, Kaka went straight to the basket, and while the Lakers' defense was not in place, he directly dunked and scored!
44 is better than 50!
The point difference is shrinking!
In the first quarter, the Spurs' main force was very poor, but in the second quarter they slowly recovered.
