NBA: The start beat Kobe Bryant in his old age

Chapter 227 Block Ginobili's European step layup!

Lin Tianyi has scored 7 points in a row at the beginning.

After returning, he followed Leonard closely.

Tony Parker held the ball, and when Nick Young was distracted, he rushed into the inside with a fake fax and used a familiar rhythm to make a successful layup.

Kobe was very dissatisfied with Nick Young's defense this time, and said to Nick Young: "Nick! Keep an eye on your people!"

Nick Young stuck out his tongue, showing an embarrassed expression.

In the next few minutes, the offensive firepower of both sides was very fierce.

Since the Spurs have twin towers inside, the Lakers often attack from the outside, while the Spurs mainly attack the inside.

Lin Tian didn't get double-teamed in the first quarter either. After all, it's impossible for the Spurs to serve hard food as soon as they come up.

This also led to Lin Tian scoring 10 points on 7 of 16 shots after the first quarter, including two three-pointers.

Although he still didn't have a free throw, his shooting percentage was as high as 70%!

Stronger than Leonard, when defending Lin Tian alone, there is no way to attack Lin Tian's kaleidoscope.

Taking advantage of the break during the festival, the head coaches of the two teams are busy arranging the tactics for the next quarter.

Scott's tactics are extremely simple.

Now that Lin Tian and Kobe are resting, the main ball in the second quarter is in Howard's hands.

Although Howard scored the second highest score of the team in the last game, his performance was not outstanding, and he was even suppressed by a veteran player like Duncan.

He didn't have much chance to make a shot in the first quarter today, so we can only see how he performed at the beginning of the second quarter.

The Spurs announced the lineup after the start of the second quarter, and Popovich always emphasized the need to move.

Among them, not only people but also balls need to move.

The Spurs have played team basketball and selflessness to the extreme these years. No player has ever surpassed the head coach of the team!

Duncan, the number one power forward in history, can't do it!Leonard, the current face-level player in the league, can't do it either!

There were rumors that a Spurs player scored high points in a single game and was scolded by Popovich, which shows how important the Spurs value selflessness.

After the start of the second quarter, the most important players on both sides took a break temporarily.

The Spurs played Manu Ginobili and Patrick Mills at the back.

On the Lakers side, Nick Young and Clarkson are partners.

As soon as the game started, Mills, who was only 1.83 meters tall, scored a three-pointer.

After Clarkson came back from the Lakers dribble, both Nick Young and Howard were reaching for the ball.

Facing Mills' defense, when Clarkson was hesitant to pass the ball, Ginobili suddenly sneaked up behind him and took the ball away, playing an extremely fast fast break.

This scene was seen by Lin Tian, ​​and he couldn't help scratching his head.

Clarkson averaged more than 10 points per game in the regular season this season, and even appeared on many media's best sixth man lists.

However, in the playoffs where the defensive intensity has been raised to a higher level, his performance can no longer be described as bad.

Kobe also sighed: "They are not the opponents of the old guys like the Spurs, and the point difference will be opened soon."

As expected, Clarkson passed the ball to Nick Young after dribbling the ball for half court.

After Nick Yang showed off his gorgeous operation, he directly made a mid-range shot.

This CIC hit the iron.

The Spurs grabbed the rebound and it went to Ginobili.

After Ginolibi rushed to the frontcourt of the Spurs, he began to organize the offense.

After all the Spurs players settled down, he passed to the inside, and the inside passed to Boris Diaw on the wing. Diaw passed the ball to Mills.

After this series of passes, the achievements of the Lakers' defensive players were extremely scattered.

Ginobili even had plenty of time to adjust the angle.

He took a deep breath, raised his hand and threw the ball!The three-pointer fell firmly into the box.

DJ yelled, "Open three-pointer! Gino...Billy!"

Popovich, who had been scowling throughout the first quarter, also laughed.

This is the way he wants the Spurs to play, everyone is selfless!The odds are great.

In just over a minute, the Spurs beat the Lakers 8:0, and the point difference also widened to double digits.

Scott didn't want to call a timeout, but seeing the expression on Lin Tian's face on the bench, he could only call a timeout.

It's a short pause of only 30 seconds.

After the timeout ended, Lin Tian went into battle and replaced Nick Young.

Nick Yang's nerve knife is not very effective today, and he should be given a rest for the time being.

Lin Tian's appearance at this time period is the weakest link of the Spurs' defense. He must recover the point difference.

Danny Green also returned to the court at this time.

Lin Tian thought that the Spurs arranged for Danny Green to defend himself alone.

When he was about to attack with the ball, he realized that Dior had also double-teamed him.

They also knew very well that it would be difficult to defend Lin Tian just by relying on Danny Green.

Facing the double-teaming of two players, Lin Tian didn't play singles. He passed a pass without looking at people and passed the ball to Channing Frye.

Channing Frye made a light jump and made an unguarded [-]-pointer.

"Shh!"

The basketball entered the frame and made a pleasant sound of wiping the net.

After the three-pointer went in, he looked at Lin Tian and raised his index and middle fingers, indicating that it was a wonderful pass.

Lin Tian also understood, Channing Frye came on stage, and this is what he did!

After the Spurs serve, Mills has the ball.

Clarkson watched Mills with a level of focus he had never felt before.

After Mills broke through, he didn't have a good chance to shoot, so he could only make an emergency stop and pass the ball to Ginobili.

Ginobili received the ball, cleverly swayed past the defender and went straight to the inside.

Seeing this, Howard hurriedly chose to make up the defense.

Facing Howard, Ginobili resorted to his signature killer move Eurostep.

The so-called European step is that during the layup process, the direction of the continuation is greatly changed, making it impossible for the defensive player to judge the next step of the ball holder.

This trick is very useful when dealing with tall players inside, because big players are often less mobile.

The developer of the Eurostep is not Ginobili, but Ginobili has carried forward this trick, which is more representative than Wade and Harden's Eurostep. When people talk about the Eurostep, the first thing that comes to mind is Ginobili.

Howard was completely blown away by Ginobili.

After running the third step, Ginobili had just reached the basket, and he lightly threw the ball to the basket. Not surprisingly, the ball will probably be scored in all likelihood.

However, Lin Tian, ​​who has been in ambush for a long time on the weak side!Out of nowhere!

Facing Ginobili's layup, he slapped it out!

"Snapped!"

Ginobili's European step layup!It was ruthlessly blocked by Lin Tian!
