NBA: I really just want to make money

After returning from the halftime break, the physical fitness of the players on both sides has all recovered, so they both fielded full lineups.

At the beginning of the game, the demon knife was unsheathed and he relied on pick-and-rolls to get shooting opportunities. Without any hesitation, Ginobili raised his hand from outside the three-point line and took a three-pointer. The basketball whirled into the basket and passed through the net.

"Swish~"

~5559!

The point difference widened to 4 points

, giving the Spurs no chance to completely defend. The Lakers advanced quickly, and Chen Hao took the lead. His speed directly increased to the fastest. After rushing through the half court, the European step left and couldn't help but step forward. Parker, who was pressing, did not choose to do it himself, but threw the ball directly into the air.

Kobe caught up and jumped high to score an alley-oop dunk.

~5759!

Offensive and defensive transition.

The Spurs played steadily and immediately moved the ball into the penalty area. Duncan turned around, stepped back and jumped, hitting the mid-range shot from a 45-degree angle. Chris Mihm was completely unable to defend and could only watch Duncan score.

This is the difference between Mr. Almost and a historical power forward. It is really impossible to guard against him.

Kwame Brown serves quickly from the baseline.

Oh no, to be precise, he threw the basketball away with great force, the ball speed was very fast. After receiving the pass from outside the three-point line, Chen Hao grinned. His palms felt a little numb, but his movements were very agile. He turned his back neatly and dribbled under his hips to avoid Parker's gambling steal...

After exerting his strength, his speed quickly increased to the extreme. Taking advantage of Ginobili's defense against Kobe, he did not have the opportunity to step forward to cover up the defense. He went straight into the Spurs penalty area and smashed Mount Kilimanjaro to score.

After being scored by the Lakers' fast-paced offense in two consecutive rounds, Popovich, who looked calm at first, immediately frowned, feeling that things were not simple.

In the next few rounds, the Lakers continued this strategy of fast break and fast defense, raising the pace of the game by several levels. Even the Spurs also accelerated the pace of the game under the leadership of Tony Parker. It was a run-and-gun battle.

Because the energy invested on the defensive end was relatively average, the success rate of both sides was quite good. The audience and fans were dizzy and cheered from time to time.

Judging from the scene, the competition seemed very fierce and exciting.

This kind of game state is considered normal for the Lakers. Because they have average strength inside and have Chen Hao and Kobe Bryant, the league's top defenders, on the outside, they often use this tactic and use fast-paced offense and defense. Destroy your opponent.

After all, one's own insiders are unreliable.

But it's a bit unwise for the Spurs, who have a killer inside like Duncan, to just follow the Lakers, even though they have two outstanding All-Star-level outsiders in Ginobili and Tony Parker.

Although both have excellent offensive abilities and have a high success rate in fast breaks, it is undeniable that Duncan is the core of GDP and the essential advantage of this Cavaliers team.

Once Duncan's physical energy is wasted too much on the return run, the Spurs' internal deterrence and containment will be greatly reduced, which will directly affect the performance of the outside players. In the final analysis, the current Spurs team only has Duncan. It's just an excellent inside player who needs to take action!

As the game continues, the Lakers' purpose has already become clear. As mentioned above, it is to use fast-paced offense and defense to wear down the Spurs' physical fitness, specifically Shifu Duncan's physical fitness. After all, Daidai is 30 years old!

Although the Spurs' tactical system still maintains peak competitiveness this season, it can be seen from his playing time that Duncan is about to begin to decline, at least in terms of physical fitness.

Duncan's playing time has been declining since the 0-02 season. Last season, it dropped directly from 36.6 minutes to 33.4 minutes. This season, it improved slightly, reaching 34.8 minutes.

Although the time has improved, his personal data is the worst since he joined the league in 1997. The average points per game dropped to 20+ for the first time. The overall shooting percentage is also at the original level, only 48.4%, for an inside player. , this hit rate is really not high.

Compared with the Timberwolves' Kevin Garnett's 52%, the Rockets' Dayao's 51%, and even the Heat's Shark, who is already in decline,'s 6% shooting percentage, Shifo's efficiency has undoubtedly dropped significantly. few.

Even so, the Spurs are still a team with Duncan as the core, and his role is extremely important, like a needle in the sea.

Whether or not Duncan is there will have a huge impact on the Spurs.

It would be difficult for the Lakers' plan to succeed if Duncan was in his twenties, but if Duncan is in his current state, the success rate is still high.

As long as Duncan's physical fitness can be worn down, the Lakers' winning rate in this game can be increased by at least 20%.

Regarding the Lakers' plan, Popovich's golf savvy may not have noticed it at first, but as the game continued, the old man quickly understood it, but he did not take action immediately, but he had something different in his heart. idea.

Since the Lakers can try to target them in this way, other teams can do the same.

It's just a regular season game anyway, it doesn't matter whether they win or lose. Popovich really wants to see how much trouble this tactic can cause them. During the timeout, he didn't say anything about pressing the tempo, he just arranged some things. Usual tactics.

I just want to experiment.

The head coach didn't say anything. Tony Parker, who was running crazy, didn't say anything. He couldn't care less about it. It was rare to encounter such a fun game. How could he not enjoy it? Every round was a rush......

As a result, Duncan was dragged to the back of the team every time, running past and back with his teammates with a cute look on his face.

Run over again, and back again!

It was bearable once or twice, but once more times, Duncan had some expression on his face, but his eyes changed from a bit confused to a dissatisfied look at his point guard, clearly expressing his doubts......

Are you sure it's not a waste of manpower to have one of the top two power forwards in the league running back and forth all the time?

In this regard, only 24, the still-vigorous French sports car did not notice it, but Ginobili quickly noticed the situation. After an attack, he walked to Parker's side:"Tony, slow down the pace."

"kindness~？"

Tony Parker, who was not yet satisfied with running, looked over with some confusion and found that Ginobili was telling him to look around. He immediately looked around the court and found that Tim Duncan, Bruce Bowen and Muhammad looked out of breath

"No, the force is too strong."Tony Parker glanced at his bench with a guilty conscience.

Realizing that his head coach was not paying attention to him, he immediately let out a breath, and then looked at Ginobili with gratitude:

"Thank you, Manu, if you hadn’t reminded me, I might have been in the trap of the Lakers."

"Don't say such things, we are teammates"

"Well~"

There was no chance for the two of them to continue to show off the affectionate drama of teammates. Chen Hao controlled the ball and rushed forward. He cooperated with Kobe tacitly. After cutting inside, he raised his hand to receive the pass. Facing Duncan's mountain-like figure, he controlled the ball with his right hand. With a sudden flick, the basketball flew past his crotch. He subconsciously closed his legs, but did not clamp the basketball. Duncan's expression changed slightly.

Chris Mihm, who was stuck behind him, caught the ball and made an easy layup. Score

"The reaction has indeed slowed down, and it seems that the tactics are still effective."

Looking meaningfully at the sweaty Duncan, Chen Hao turned around and ran back to his own half.

He thought the Spurs would launch a fast break according to the previous rhythm, but the opponent did not do so. Parker steadily controlled the ball and consciously The rhythm slowed down, which made Chen Hao squint his eyes....He looked up at the score, 75:76, and there were two minutes and thirty-seven seconds left in the game.

I breathed a sigh of relief. Although the opponent began to control the rhythm, the game was about to end, and their tactics were still successful.

Thinking of this, Chen Hao did not hesitate and ran straight to Parker, closely guarding him. His body was constantly actively seeking confrontation, and his defensive intensity was directly one level stronger than before.

The continuous fast-paced attack and defense lasted for nearly ten minutes. Even for the young and energetic Parker, the fast-attack rhythm was still okay. Suddenly the rhythm slowed down and he was no longer so focused on the game. The physical fatigue can be said to increase exponentially.

Speed alone can no longer easily get rid of Chen Hao.

"Isn't this guy tired?!"

Just now, Chen Hao was just like him, running wildly throughout the field, and even ran farther than him, but now with his flexible and vigorous steps, it doesn't look like he has been attacking and defending at a fast pace for ten minutes.

Monster!

Not intending to tangle with Chen Hao, Parker passed the ball directly. As soon as Ginobili got the ball, Kobe was in tune with Chen Hao and suddenly increased his defensive intensity. This made Ginobili Nobili was very uncomfortable. He was so anxious that he couldn't get rid of it, so he hurriedly passed the ball to Duncan.

The latter hit Chris Mihm twice with the ball, turned around and stepped into the penalty area, grabbed the ball with one hand and was preparing for a dunk. , but was stabbed diagonally by Kwame Brown and blocked the ball directly....

Chris Mihm reacted quickly and jumped up to pick off the basketball and threw it directly to the frontcourt. Chen Hao took the lead. After receiving the ball, he didn't stick to the ball at all and transferred the ball to Kobe's hands.

The Black Mamba only advanced five or six meters, attracted the defense, and then passed the ball back.

"Bang~"

After catching the ball, he stopped suddenly and stepped back to the three-point line. There was no one around. After Chen Hao was able to adjust, he jumped up and shot a three-pointer.

A sword came from the west, and a fairy flew from the sky!

The basketball was like a ball. Like a sharp blade, it pierced into the basket and brought up a cloud of flowers.

""Shua~"

Hearing the familiar crisp sound, Chen Hao couldn't help but reveal a faint smile.

Relying on this three-pointer, the Lakers, who had been lagging behind since the first quarter, finally overtook the score 78:76.

So. Under the circumstances, the Spurs' tactical quality prevented them from being chaotic, nor did they eagerly launch a fast break. Instead, they continued to play steadily and handed the ball into Duncan's hands.

This time, Duncan was obviously much calmer and no longer as aggressive as before. Eager to score, he moved very quickly, without giving Chris Mihm and Kwame Brown a chance to double-team, and steadily hit a two-pointer.

~7878!

The two sides ended in a draw.

The Spurs quickly returned to defense. After halftime, Chen Hao passed the ball without looking at anyone behind his back. The basketball fell into Kobe's hands. Without getting rid of Ginobili's defense, the latter directly forced a three-pointer.

DUANG!

The basketball collapsed and popped out of the rim, but Odom was lucky enough to pick up the rebound and take advantage of the situation to make a mid-range shot.

"Swish~"

~8078!

The Spurs attacked and almost completely exhausted the 24-hour attack time. Duncan suddenly passed the ball to the outside. Ginobili appeared at the passing point at the right time. Facing Kobe's tenacious defense, he had no time to adjust and took a quick shot. Three points.

DUANG!

He also failed to hit three-pointers, but his teammates failed to grab rebounds.

Kwame Brown showed great concentration, protected the backboard, and only passed the ball after making sure there was no threat.

With 20 seconds left in the game, the Lakers made their final attack.

After halftime, the basketball was passed to Kobe. Chen Hao and other Lakers on the court moved out of position, allowing Kobe to play Ginobili alone.

It wasn't until the last 5 seconds of the game that Kobe started to launch an offensive, flashing and moving, constantly changing his rhythm, stepping on the edge of the free throw line, turning over and shooting a fadeaway jumper. Manu reacted quickly and tried his best. blocking Kobe's view.

It's a pity that this kind of defensive method, which Chen Hao used so badly on Kobe, how could it be effective?

""Wow~"

The sound of hitting the net said it all.

Sometimes Chen Hao even doubted whether Kobe could still make a shot if he put a blindfold on him.

~8278!

To everyone's surprise, the starting players of both sides all played the entire third quarter. The Lakers overtook the point difference and led the Spurs by 4 points entering the final quarter.

In the final quarter of the game, both sides sent in substitute lineups.

Unlike Nick Van Exel, who is far from the Spurs' expected effect, Michael Finley has undoubtedly become a sharp blade on the Spurs' bench, giving the team both offense and defense. Great help.

With both teams coming on the bench, and with the added bonus of the Spurs' tactical system, Michael Finley made full use of his off-the-ball ability, closing the gap to one point with a three-pointer as soon as he came on the field.

At the critical moment, Smush Parker, who had been shrouded in Chen Hao's light and whose presence had not been very strong all season, suddenly broke out. Facing Nick Van Exel's defense, he made sudden shots. Scored five points in a row to help the team maintain a weak score advantage on the field.

He also assisted Devin George and Luke Walton to score consecutive mid-range shots.

It gave the main players more than four minutes of rest time, which can be said to be a significant contribution.

The score was maintained at 93:91, and the Lakers led by two points.

"Well done."

Looking at Smush Parker walking off the field with his head held high, Chen Hao praised him.

He was slightly stunned, and Smush said seriously:"I have completed my task, and the next step is up to you."

"Don't worry, we won't lose."Chen Hao said seriously.

Kobe and Odom on the side also nodded solemnly.

The game continued to start, with the Lakers and Spurs both fielding full lineups. _
