Super Evolution of Basketball

Chapter 284

Van Gundy: "It's a pity you have so few helpers."

Reggie Miller has no championship in his life and is one of the saddest players in NBA history.

"I don't have too many helpers?" Reggie Miller shook his head: "It should be said that we were not popular in our era."

The word "group" has been a bit sensitive recently, and Van Gundy hastily changed the subject: "Ahem, the timeout is not up yet, let's see how other teams perform."

Van Gundy opens the ESPN homepage.

"The Cavaliers just beat the Clippers. Sadly, the Clippers lost another 20 points. This is the second year that James has left the Heat. He is now eager to harvest his record. I don't know if he can pass the Warriors this year."

Reggie Miller: "It was a pity last year. It would have been nice to have Wade and Bosh cooperate with LeBron in the Cavaliers. In that case, LeBron will definitely win another championship."

Van Gundy said in his heart that if Love and Owen heard what you said, how embarrassing would it be?

So he changed the subject again: "The Raptors are very strong this year, maybe they will cause some trouble for the Cavaliers in the playoffs."

Reggie Miller: "DeRozan and Lowry are a good pair of rubbish brothers. Maybe the playoffs can make the Cavaliers suffer a little bit. After all, if LeBron is now surrounded by Wade and Bosh, it is completely worthwhile."

Van Gundy said in his heart, hey, why did you go around the Heat's Big Three again?

They were chatting, the players walked onto the court one after another, and the fourth quarter began.

Scott finally chose to press down on the starters' playing time, preparing to put them on the field after the next timeout, so adding a few minutes at the end of the third quarter, they should be able to rest for nearly 10 minutes.

The Lakers continued the previous lineup, but the Spurs did not play their cards according to common sense. Popovich replaced all the starting players, from Parker to Duncan, starting outright.

Reggie Miller: "Armageddon?"

Van Gundy: "No, the Lakers are not desperate yet."

Leonard held the ball at the top of the arc, asked for a pull-off single, slammed into Nick Young's right hand, and made a high-post emergency stop jumper.

The Lakers sent out the ball. Frye commanded his teammates to pull away from the right wing and was ready to play a single shot. Aldridge directly defended to the three-point line.

"Run, run!" Scott swung his arms.

It's a pity that these people can't outrun their opponents at all, and the physical strength of the core players of the Spurs has almost recovered.

Frye had no choice but to make a hard three-pointer against Aldridge. If he can get it, dreams must always be there.

pity.

The reality is very skinny, miss, Danny Green and Thackeray compete for rebounds, the whistle blows!
Danny Green was pushed out of the baseline by Thackeray. The referee was unequivocal and called Thackeray a foul.

The Lakers fouled less than the number of times, and the Spurs played the ball in the frontcourt.

Taking advantage of the opponent's inattention, the French sports car cut to the baseline. Duncan sent the ball quickly with his hands and eyes, and Parker made a backhand layup.

Thackeray was almost cheated into another foul, and looked at Scott with helpless eyes.

Scott made a downward motion with his hands in front of him, telling him not to worry, to hold on.

"Coach, let's play." Towns couldn't sit still, and Whiteside also stood up.

Scott ignored him, and it was only two rounds, and the timing was not yet ripe.

In a blink of an eye, Duncan made a wonderful pass to Aldridge, who made an empty cut layup.

In the internal pass, the two towers showed a very creative cooperation, and for a moment it was like the return of the king of the admiral.

"Beautiful! I thought Aldridge would always be acclimatized." Van Gundy said.

Reggie Miller said: "It's not worth showing off. I can't think of anyone who can't get along with a versatile superstar like Duncan."

Towns became more anxious, and grabbed Whiteside's arm: "Can you pass that ball just now? We'll give them one back on the court in a while. As long as you can pass it, I will definitely be able to dunk. Layups like Aldridge's are so weak!"

Whiteside didn't dare to take offense at the first time. Duncan really couldn't do the manual work by himself.

The Spurs caught up with the score in a few rounds, and the fans began to boo. Everyone didn't know when their star would be able to play.

The live broadcast room of TNT headquarters.

O'Neill and Barkley will serve as commentators for the webcast platform tonight.

Barkley: "The Spurs played well. I blame the Lakers for this. They gave the Spurs too many opportunities."

O'Neill: "Coach Scott of the Lakers can't help it. This year's lineup is too bad. If they didn't replace Randle and Louis Williams last summer, they wouldn't have to be so miserable now."

Barkley: "According to what you said, they won't get Downs and Yuan Qingshan."

O'Neill thought about it and said, "You're right, no matter what, it's worth it to get Downs and Yuan Qingshan."

He paused and continued: "It seems that they still have a first round traded from another team?"

Barkley picked up the IPAD to check, and then exclaimed: "My God, I don't know if you don't mention it. It was an unprotected first round traded from the Nuggets last year."

O'Neal's eyes lit up: "Look at the record of the Nuggets. To be honest, I haven't had the patience to watch their games since Iverson left."

Barkley's voice doubled: "No. 12 in the West."

If the Nuggets are ranked 2th in the Western Conference at the end of February, the chances of the Nuggets entering the playoffs may be zero. In other words, this is at least a lottery pick.

O'Neal snatched the IPAD over: "Why didn't anyone remind me that the Lakers still have this baby sign?"

After finishing speaking, he immediately asked and answered: "With the style of Boss Bass and Kupchak, I guess they have forgotten this problem."

Barkley nodded frequently. The performance of the Lakers uniform team this year is unpredictable. You can say that they performed well, but the backup lineup is so bad. If you want to say that the performance is not good, the one-hammer trade of Towns in the summer is really good.

All in all it's fascinating.

The perspective returns to the Staples Center.

The Spurs have overtaken the score by 5 points.

Kobe had already thrown away the ice pack. Tonight's game is related to the playoffs. He wants to win no matter what, let alone the opponent is the Spurs?

Huertas wanted to play the ball for Nick Young at the top of the arc, but Leonard hit the sideline and threw the ball out of bounds.

"Play!" Scott ordered.

Kobe, Yuan Qingshan, Towns, Whiteside, all four stood up at the same time.

Whoa!
The fans are boiling, is the decisive battle finally coming?

Reggie Miller: "There are 8 minutes left in the game, and the Lakers are 5 points behind, but judging from the state of the starters, they will rest longer than the main players of the Spurs."

Van Gundy: "In other words, the Lakers have survived the most difficult period!"

"I will try my best to take Leonard away." Kobe said to Yuan Qingshan, "I will leave the rest to you."

Kobe has to hand over his offensive authority in the decisive stage, which also means that he needs to run more off the ball to lock down a defender of Leonard's level.

Kobe's sacrifice will push Yuan Qingshan to the C position and play the leading role.

The ball came out, and Kobe and Nick Young really took Leonard and Danny Green far away like they did in the first half.

Whiteside and Duncan guarded near the penalty area, and Towns led Aldridge to the weak side.

The four players of the Lakers completely opened up, creating ample space for Yuan Qingshan to single Tony Parker.

Tony Parker's expression was ugly. He could not have seen more clearly how Yuan Qingshan beat Mills in the first half.

He is more experienced than Mills in defense, but his speed and explosive power are far inferior to those of Mills, so the defensive effect may not be as good as Mills.

Although Popovich reserved his physical strength to the end, and used it exclusively to deal with Yuan Qingshan, when Yuan Qingshan really popped up, Tony Parker felt a sense of despair instantly.
