On the second day after the first match of the Eastern Conference Finals.

The first game of the Western Conference Finals was also played in Los Angeles.

An hour before the game, the stadium was filled with crowds.

The fans were noisy and excited to wait for the start of the game.

After the Lakers experienced the second round of tiebreak battle, all media and basketball experts were optimistic that the Lakers could make it to the finals.

It’s not that the Spurs are not strong, but because the strength shown by the Lakers in full lineup is really terrifying!

beep.

With a whistle on the scene.

Starting players from both sides appear.

The Lakers' starting lineup is Gasol, Fry, Jiang Chen, Kobe and Curry;

The Spurs' starting lineup is Antonio McDyce, Tim Duncan, Richard Jefferson, George Hill, and Tony Parker.

McDace jumped the ball with Gasol, who racked the basketball out.

The Lakers took the lead in attacking.

After Curry dribbled through half the game, he immediately hung the basketball high to Gasol in the penalty area.

The first goal in the game was still to the penalty area.

After receiving the ball, Gasol leaned against Mike Daisy and made continuous false moves to shake his shoulders. With the swaying of a golden hair, he shook off Mike Daisy and half turned around and hit the hook.

There were immediately warm cheers at the scene.

Spurs offense.

After halfway through the dribble, Parker played a high pick-and-roll with McDace. After breaking through to the penalty area, he originally wanted to use his unique secret to spin the top to make a layup, but when he was doing the move, he saw that Jiang Chen had already run towards the penalty area.

If you continue to use the gyro to rotate, it will definitely be blocked.

Parker reacted quickly and threw the basketball out when the top was halfway through.

Jefferson accurately connected the basketball outside the three-point line in the bottom corner on the left, and then raised his hand and shot a three-pointer.

The basketball drew a high arc.

Swish.

Hollow into the net!

The Spurs did not follow the regular style of play and hit a three-pointer at the beginning.

Mr. Popovich stood on the sidelines with a gloomy face, as if he was a little unhappy.

As a representative of the old-school coach, Popovich has no favoritism for three-pointers, and he doesn't even like to let players use the three-pointer basketball technique.

However, entering the three-point era is the general trend. Even if Popovich is unwilling, it still allows the team to strengthen its offense outside the three-point line.

Of course, under normal circumstances, you still have to think about completing the attack outside the three-point line.

This is Popovich's current philosophy.

If you can, don’t shoot three points.

Therefore, the Spurs are the team that scored three-pointers in the league in the regular season and the number of three-point shots is also at the bottom.

In other words, two or three years later, the Popovich had a great enlightenment and began to increase the team's three-point shooting times, and cultivated many 3D players who can shoot three-pointers and have defensive ability.

The most typical one is second-round pick Danny Green.

Danny Green is already in the Spurs team, but he is just a water dispenser player and does not have many opportunities to play.

Get back to the point.

Lakers offense.

After Curry dribbled through half the game, he passed the basketball to Jiang Chen, who held the ball at the top of the arc and changed backwards to break through to the penalty area.

Mr. Duncan had a strong sense of defense and immediately made a layup.

But after all, as I was older, my body could no longer keep up with my consciousness, and the speed of movement under my feet was still a little slower.

That's it.

Jiang Chen seized the opportunity and scored a basket.

After falling to the ground, Jiang Chen also patted Mr. Duncan on the shoulder to show comfort.

Duncan still turned around and ran towards the frontcourt.

After Parker dribbled through half the game, he hung the basketball high to Duncan, who was standing in the penalty area.

undoubtedly.

On the Spurs, the most obvious advantage in position is Duncan and Fry.

The two are completely different from the same level.

The strength of the No. 1 power forward in NBA history is not a joke.

Duncan attacked in the penalty area with a basket, but made a shaking fake move and directly raised his hand to shoot.

Frye jumped up and blocked it, but to no avail.

Basketballs are wiped into the basket.

A steady hit.

This is Mr. Duncan's unique skill, so he is naturally very good at it.

Lakers offense.

Curry played a high pick-and-roll with Gasol again, then passed the ball to Jiang Chen, and then ran around the cover to run wildly.

After running out of the open position at the bottom corner on the left, he also received a pass from Jiang Chen as soon as possible, and then raised his hand and shot a three-pointer.

The basketball drew a perfect arc.

Swish.

Hollow into the net.

Spurs offense.

Parker made another mid-range jump shot with the cover.

Both sides fought back and forth, and they played very fiercely at the opening stage, and both maintained very efficient attacks.

"I didn't expect it! The Spurs were able to keep up with the Lakers' rhythm on the offensive end, which was really unexpected!"

Mike Bryn, a live commentator, said in surprise.

As we all know, the Spurs have never been a team that is good at offense, and what they are more powerful is defense.

However, it was really unbelievable that this game was able to play comparable to the NBA's historical offensive team Lakers, which was really good.

"Yes! It seems that the Spurs have prepared for a long time, but the game has just begun. Let's see how long the Spurs can last?"

"If I can persist in spending halftime and not let the Lakers open the score, I think the Spurs have a chance to win this game in the second half."

Another commentator, Smith, said seriously.

No one is optimistic about the Spurs now, but how could a strong team that has been standing in the league for 20 years be easily defeated?

In the past few minutes, the Spurs showed their tenacity to the fullest.

After playing for more than half a quarter, the head coaches of both sides began to change players.

Phil replaced Curry and Jiang Chen and left the court to rest, and replaced Artest and Fisher.

In this way, the Lakers' offensive core became Kobe and Gasol, the two old partners were the basis for the rise of the Lakers a few years ago.

And this lineup Phil can also allow players to play triangular offensive tactics again.

The Spurs side.

Mr. Popovich replaced McDace and George Hill, replaced Bonner and Ginobili, and continued to increase the three-point shooting points.

After halfway through the dribble, Parker passed the basketball to Ginobili, who organized the team's offense.

Ginobili faced Kobe's iron-clad defense without any fear. He used his signature skill to break through and threw away Kobe, jumped high after reaching the penalty area, and completed a difficult layup.

Lakers offense.

Kobe directly received the ball from the bottom corner and dribbled through the half, then signaled the players to open up space and play singles by himself!
Chapter completed!
