On the evening of the 16th, the Spurs were at home at ATT Center.

As the announcer shouted out Popovich's name, more than 18,000 viewers shouted in unison, and the sound waves rushed straight to the ceiling.

TNT commentator seat, old coach Huby Brown smiled and said: "San Antonio fans are very excited. They beat the Lakers away the day before yesterday and their confidence in winning the championship has increased significantly. Now when they return to home court, they look forward to playing the same wonderful performance..."

Host Kassel responded: "According to statistics, the Spurs have maintained a complete victory in their home games so far this season!

Steve, what are your predictions about this game?”

Commentator Steve Cole said: "I think the Spurs have a higher probability of winning, because in terms of lineup, the Spurs are stronger and more reasonable than the Lakers, and in terms of tactics, Bobo is more bold than Su Yang, which means he really wants to win.

Honestly, I've never seen Bobo trust a rookie player so much, Kawhi Leonard surprised me.

I thought that Bobo said Kawhi Leonard to remind him of Michael Jordan, just a joke…”

In the field, the sound of long whistles sounded.

The two teams started the entry position. Su Yang looked at the Spurs and found that it was indeed Dejuan Blair who was the Spurs starting power forward again, while Duncan returned to the center position, which was very different from the previous game when Split was the starting center.

Different starting lineups have completely different focus on offense and defense. Su Yang couldn't guess the Spurs' adjustment intention for a while.

But I was too lazy to think too much. Before the referee could whistle, I pulled Kobe and said, "You can make a goal for Gasol first at the beginning."

Then the reason for playing is very simple. Gasol is nearly 12 cm taller than De Juan Blair, who is also a power forward.

Kobe nodded to show his understanding and then entered the field, while the other Lakers starters were only Goodlock to replace Fisher.

drop!

The short whistle sounded, and the Spurs started five-man, Parker, Green, Leonard, Blair and Duncan were also in place.

Amid the cheers of the whole audience, the Lakers won the jump ball.

Seeing Kobe taking the ball and pushing forward, Popovich, who was standing on the sidelines, raised his eyebrows slightly, and then raised his hand to command and make a major delay.

With that command, I obviously realized that something was wrong, but Popovich couldn't figure out what the routine was.

But no matter what, there is absolutely nothing wrong with the big delay. I will give Kobe a round of confrontation first, which will consume energy.

"Woo woo woo woo..." The Spurs fans booed enthusiastically, and Danny Green stepped close to Kobe to intercept.

Kobe's face was calm and dribbled the ball on his back with a move, easily rushing to the top of the frontcourt arc.

Atai also mentioned the right three-point line with Bynum's cover, took the basketball and turned and raised it high to observe. After Kobe passed the ball, he stepped into the paint area and showed an anxious look that he planned to use Bynum's cover to move to the short corner on the right.

Short corners and waist positions are both areas where Kobe is good at scoring. The Spurs have studied it many times, so they were successfully deceived.

Just as Green took a big step to grab the cover, Kobe suddenly stopped and joined hands with Bynum to build a wall.

Gasol took the opportunity to get rid of Blair, and used the cover to cross the paint area and move to the right, leaving no obstacles along the way.

Kobe turned around and ran out, providing a shooting threat to prevent the Spurs from surrounding Gasol.

In a hurry, Duncan chose to switch to Gasol to prepare for delays, Green started to catch up with Kobe again, and Blair wanted to bypass the cover to chase Gasol. The Spurs trio made a mistake in communication and had no time to communicate, and no one was in charge of Bynum.

Seeing this, Atei hangs the ball to the basket. Bynum takes the ball step by step, jumps up and dunks with both hands.

Basketball scored a basket and entered the net. The Lakers scored two points at the beginning, mainly using Kobe's threat to create an excellent one-on-one opportunity for Gasol. In the end, the Spurs' defensive matchup was disrupted, and Bynum completed the end, which was a tie-breaker, making the Spurs unable to defend.

The two teams changed their offense and defense, and the Spurs handed over to Duncan to play singles in the right waist position, turned around and shot the ball to smash the basket and hit the iron.

But De Juan Blair is very powerful and has excellent arm-show. He forced himself to leave Gasol by blocking the position and grabbing the offensive rebound. Unfortunately, his height and weight are a flaw. His continuous jumping speed is slow and his height is average, and he was disturbed by Gasol.

The basketball crashed, Bynum got the rebound, the Lakers launched a counterattack, and Kobe led all the way to the top of the frontcourt arc.

It was still the starting lineup. The Spurs chose to communicate in advance, and the delayed screening of Kobe and Bynum was reduced.

The Spurs' defense was not in chaos, but Gasol still took the ball from the right waist, facing Blair, who was 12 cm shorter than him.

He raised it high and hit it. He turned back and sank the bottom to avoid the interference of double-teams. He jumped with one foot and waved his right arm to exert force, and shot with a hook.

Swish! Hollow into the net, 4 to 0.

The Spurs attacked, Parker looked for Duncan to cover the arc, pretending to go right but actually go left, breaking through Goodlock in an instant, and quickly breaking into the paint area. He deliberately stopped and jumped within Bynum's defense, and rode a horse and shot an archery throw.

Bynum really couldn't block the shot. The basketball hit the net with a thud. The Spurs took only ten seconds to attack.

"yeah..." The fans on the scene cheered and shouted AND     ONE on the Spurs bench.

Su Yang's left eye twitched. Parker's first breakthrough in NBA history made it really difficult for Goodlock to defend.

The offense and defense were converted on the field, Kobe dribbled the ball, and the Lakers continued to open the field tactic, but it had not been cracked anyway.

Seeing that the Lakers were posing in the same tactical formation, Popovich shouted twice on the sidelines, and Leonard did not chase Atai in time.

But Leonard was not idle either, but stayed in the paint area, controlling the running route, and helping Green delay Kobe.

In that case, Kobe cannot move to the right as soon as possible. Whether it is true or false, it will be delayed.

Kobe cannot transfer in time, and even if he wants to continue to provide cover for Gasol, the Spurs have time to make adjustments.

All operations are nothing more than relying on the difficulty of Atei's three-pointer shooting, and even if he catches the ball, Leonard can save and defend in time.

The Lakers' situation suddenly became a little unfavorable, but Kobe's advantage in playing point guard was reflected. Without Su Yang's shout, Kobe decisively gave up the opening tactic with his super high reading and defensive level and directly asked Atae to cooperate with the high pick-and-roll.

Green hurriedly tried to squeeze through the cover to catch up, but Ate was generous and strong, so it was a good time to delay.

Leonard hurriedly started a defense change, but this time the defense change was different from the previous game, Kobe had already taken the ball in advance.

Only Kobe made a big stride and rushed into the three-point line, and without hesitation, he used his signature skill - one step inside the three-point line to snatch the shot.

Leonard's rhythm was not controlled well, his whole center of gravity was too high, and it was difficult to take off the second time. He watched Kobe jump out.

Swish! The basketball is hollow into the net, 6 to 2.

"To be honest, this is a bad shooting choice, Kobe's personal performance has been reduced to C-..." Su Yang casually joked about the 2K personal mode mechanism. Mike Brown and other assistant coaches looked confused, and only Ebanks and Jeremy Lin chuckled and agreed.

In-field offense and defense conversion, the Spurs start with one inside and four outside formations, and conduct eight-character transmission from right to left, and transfer on a large scale.

Leonard then cut into the inside from the left, first provided positioning cover for Blair, then turned around and ran to the top of the arc to try to catch the ball, forming a complex running position with STS screen as the main focus and lower cover and horizontal cover as the auxiliary.

Most people have to look at the overall perspective several times before they understand.

Atai, who was in charge of chasing Leonard, was stunned and stood in the paint area like a fool.

Fortunately, Kobe reacted quickly enough and decisively gave up Green at the right bottom corner, and replaced the defense and chased Leonard who rushed towards the top of the arc.

That choice can be said to be perfect.

However, Parker was prepared and was extremely bold in passing the ball, throwing the ball from the left wing to the right bottom corner.

Atai was still in a downtime state. It was not until Su Yang opened his throat and shouted to remind him that he rushed to the right bottom corner like he woke up from a dream.

But it was too late. Green took the ball and jumped decisively, and he rushed to the cheers of the audience, and made a steadily three-pointer.

The basketball went into the net with a hollow hole, 6 to 5.

Atai turned around and walked towards the frontcourt in a depressed mood. Su Yang clapped and encouraged him when he saw this: "Ron, stay focused!"

With words, Kobe dribbled the ball to the top of the arc and continued to implement the opening tactics. The Spurs still made Leonard delay the switch to defense.

Kobe rushed to the right waist position with the help of Atei's cover, then turned his foot and held Leonard back, and began to sit and fight.

Leonard, who was still young in defense, was unbalanced in the center of gravity, so Green hurriedly narrowed the double-team from the three-point line.

Kobe passed the ball immediately, and Ate didn't hesitate to catch the ball. He raised his hand and scored a three-pointer, and the basketball hit the net.

"Yes!" Su Yang stood up and applauded, happy for Atai's goal, and even more happy for Kobe's success in the point guard strategy.

The Spurs turned around and played the pick-and-roll in the high position, but failed to score.

The two teams went back and forth, and the first quarter quickly reached 3 minutes left, and the Lakers led the Spurs 24-20.

The Spurs requested a timeout. In the commentary seat, Huby Brown said: "The Lakers' adjustment ability is amazing. Kobe's strategy of serving as a point guard has effectively solved the problem that Kobe had difficulty receiving the ball in the last game. Many small-scale tactics cooperate easily."

Kerr nodded seriously: "I underestimate Su Yang's determination, and once again underestimate his ability to make players perform efficiently. The Spurs are currently very difficult to score, mainly relying on Parker's strong breakthrough. It depends on whether the substitute can change the situation..."
