Chapter 257 Defeating the Spurs!

"How did this happen? The Spurs wanted to avenge the Lakers so much. At the end of the first half of the first game, why didn't they lead by a big score, but fell behind by one point? Where did the problem come from?"

Artest really didn't understand. Although it was only halftime, the Spurs still had a better chance of winning in the second half, but Artest had to be cautious because he had already found the donkey.

Of course Popovich knew where the problem came from. He was chased by the Lakers in the second quarter because the two superstars of the Lakers showed their strength.

"Muhammad, didn't you eat today? Why did you lose your backcourt rebound several times in a row and was snatched by Sun?" Popovich felt that it was necessary to beat Muhammad.

Muhammad was also very frustrated. Sun Zhuo's bounce speed was too fast. Even if he had the advantage of height, he couldn't touch the ball immediately.

"I'm sorry, coach, I must control the rebound in the second half and prevent him from grabbing it again." Muhammad said.

At this time, Ginobili said: "Actually, you can't blame Muhammad. Sun's rebounding is indeed much better than in the matchup last season."

Duncan also nodded, he also realized this problem.

Popovich was a little annoyed: "I don't care how much this guy has improved, in short, we can't let him steal our backcourt rebounds as he likes, and we must not let the Lakers fight back. This victory belongs to us!"

In the second half, at the beginning, the Spurs united and quickly overtook the score.

The Spurs' offensive was terrible, and the Lakers couldn't resist it at all, so Sun Zhuo had to stop the Spurs' offensive in the second half.

Sun Zhuo has long believed that Tony Parker will be the breakthrough point of this game. Parker is not in a good state today. If he wants to make more shots, he has to burn his emotions.

Very strong, Parker made a pass error, Sun Zhuo immediately stepped forward, and deliberately said: "Tony, I have always wanted to tell you that you are more suitable to be a coach than a player. Sometimes your thoughts It's nice, but you just can't get it done."

"Hahaha." Parker didn't look at Sun Zhuo, and laughed twice, but he heard these words in his heart.

Sun Zhuo knew that Parker had a high EQ and would not easily talk trash to him, so he just said what he wanted to say that would affect him.

"I think the best point guard in the NBA should not only have good organizational skills, but also have good three-point ability and breakthrough layup ability. Your scoring is too lacking. In a few years, you will be eliminated. .”

Parker knew that Sun Zhuo was talking rubbish to him on purpose, but these words did affect him. After all, Sun Zhuo is now an All-Star player. It is a shameful thing to be looked down upon by a player of this level. Parker doesn't think so. His own three-pointers and breakthrough layups are not good.

Therefore, in the next attack, Parker chose to attack by himself when his teammates had no chance. Due to Parker's poor form today, the Spurs' success rate was far lower than in the third quarter. Was bitten by the Lakers very tightly.

"Tony is really not in good shape today. Why did he still shoot such a ball?" Popovich was slightly worried off the court, but he has always trusted Tony Parker and believed that Parker could handle it well.

In the last minute of the third quarter, after Parker missed another shot, Sun Zhuo grabbed a rebound and quickly played against Kobe. Sun Zhuo and Kobe's twin star fast break threat can be said to be the most terrifying existence in the league. Both of them have extremely strong finishing ability, and both can fly and dunk. The opponent doesn't know who to focus on defensively.

Kobe dribbled the ball first, and after attracting the defense, Kobe passed the ball to Sun Zhuo who was following up. After Sun Zhuo received the ball, he took off and dunked directly, completely ignoring the Spurs players in front of him. The Spurs players were also very helpless. They knew that Sun Zhuo How powerful is his dunk. With such a ball, as long as he rushes to block it, it will be 2+1.

"The Lakers' fast break is still very powerful." Artest sighed, and suddenly glanced at the score, and the Spurs fell behind again!

"Damn! Why are the Spurs behind again! How the hell did they do it? It's almost the fourth quarter!"

Sun Zhuo fought for his honor today, and he didn’t rest for the entire third quarter, because he knew that this quarter was very important. Now the Lakers lead by 2 points, and the Lakers defended another goal from the Spurs. Sun Zhuo will then attack the Lakers for the last time Among them, he used the BUG again to hit a goal steadily, extending the advantage to 4 points.

After three quarters, the Lakers still lead the Spurs.

"Leading at halftime and still leading in three quarters, the Lakers can't really win..." Artest's face was already sweating.

In the Spurs bench, Popovich also said to Tony Parker, telling him to reduce the number of shots, and told Ginobili that you can play more. It seems to be up to Ginobili in the fourth quarter.

"Ginobili's form today is really good. Just now, I have defended him for a game, but in the next three quarters, he still scored a lot of points, but his three-point long-range shot is really not good today. It didn’t work just now, it still doesn’t work now, you can let it go.”

Sun Zhuo has been marking Ginobili all the time, because he didn't dare to make too many fouls, and he still allowed Ginobili to score a lot. Next, he still won't stop Ginobili with too strong a way, but use A more laissez-faire attitude.

Ginobili received the ball from the right corner and took a tentative step to test Sun Zhuo. Sun Zhuo pretended to be deceived and took a step back. Ginobili immediately took advantage of this gap to shoot a three-pointer.

boom.

Shots hit the iron.

Soon, Ginobili faced Sun Zhuo at the top of the arc and wanted to break through, but Sun Zhuo gave him space to shoot a three-pointer. Ginobili hesitated for a while, thinking that it would be safer to shoot a three-pointer, although he was not affected What a disturbance, but the goal was missed again!And it pops out of bounds directly.

"Damn it!" Ginobili wanted to hit himself so much that the Spurs were lagging behind, and he wasted so many shots.

Artest was so angry that he wanted to rush to the court to play Manu Ginobili. Artest shouted from the sidelines: "You are 6 of 1 on the three-point line! Did you do it on purpose, you bastard? You are an actor!"

The Lakers have expanded their advantage to 8 points. Popovich suddenly didn't know what to do, as if he had the feeling of powerlessness when facing the Lakers last year.

"Tony Parker wasted too many offensive opportunities, Manu Ginobili took too many outside shots, Muhammad lost several offensive rebounds, our defense against the Lakers was successful, but we made too many mistakes. If If you lose, you can’t blame others.”

Sun Zhuo also began to relax. He doesn't need to score too many points, and he doesn't need to make too much effort on the offensive end. As long as the Spurs' offense is contained, winning is a matter of course.

Next time, Sun Zhuo misplaced to guard against Bruce Bowen. Bowen only took one shot in the whole game today. Sun Zhuo didn't believe that he could feel it, so he completely let him shoot!
"Don't guard against me?" Bo Wen also shot immediately. This was a gamble, but Sun Zhuo won again.

Bowen missed the shot and the ball bounced far away. Sun Zhuo and Kobe cooperated again and scored a fast break.

The Spurs were not defeated by the Lakers, but by themselves. The more they played, the less motivated they became, and finally lost the game!

Artest felt a little hot all over his body, sat there with a blank expression on his face, and secretly said in his heart: "Fortunately, Sun didn't know there was a donkey outside."
