Chapter 74 Although there are thousands of people, I will go
At the beginning of the second quarter, the Spurs put on the bench, with Murray taking Radar's place, and DeRozan finally got a chance to play.
Facing the Lakers' second lineup, the depressed DeRozan worked hard today and continuously hit the inside and mid-range shots. People finally remembered that this was the Dragon King of the North for countless generations.
DeRozan's outstanding performance actually gave the Spurs the lead in the first five minutes of the second quarter. It turned out that Popovich was using DeRozan as Manu Ginobili.
Halfway through the second quarter, Radar came on the scene and DeRozan was assigned to the third position.
As soon as the radar came on the court, they knew that DeRozan was very expressive today. He made a long pass in the half and guided it accurately. DeRozan received the ball and rushed inside. Even if it was the basket guarded by Warcraft, DeRozan was still beaten by DeRozan for a layup.
Enter.
Who said DeRozan was no longer at his peak? Who said DeRozan was a drag on the Spurs? DeRozan used his strength to fight back one by one.
With Radar controlling the field, DeRozan's offense went more smoothly. The Lakers' second lineup was comparable to the starting lineups of the Hawks, Cavaliers and other teams, but it was easily beaten by Radar and DeRozan.
40 to 34, the Lakers saw that the situation was not going well and immediately replaced Danny Green and Big Eyebrow.
Danny Green is indeed a very good 3D player. He can move countless positions in the offense and can take shots after receiving the ball. Although he often strikes, he takes action when it is time to take action. If he does not occupy the ball, he only takes a few shots.
Danny Green on defense restricted DeRozan very well. His unstoppable breakthrough was forced to stop by Real Madrid, and DeRozan could only choose to take a mid-range shot.
In today's NBA, small balls are prevalent, and three-pointers and running and gunning have gradually become the mainstream. I don't know if DeRozan is not a high-QI enough or thinks he doesn't need to make changes. He just needs to develop his own three-point shot.
With his ability, he will be able to gain a good foothold in the league. Coupled with his stable mid-range shooting and fairly sharp breakthroughs, as long as he works hard, he can still hope to become an All-Star... as a substitute.
DeRozan was restricted, and it was Radar's turn to take action. He first hit a three-pointer from outside, then assisted Murray for a layup, and then hit another fadeaway jumper in front of the thick-eyebrow brother.
As for the Lakers, the thick-eyebrow brother is indeed the best player in the current team in terms of ability to get close to the basket. He continuously attacks the basket and takes mid-range shots, beating the Spurs' inside to pieces.
After halftime, the Spurs trailed the Lakers by just one point, 57-58.
During the halftime break, perhaps today's Lakers' picturesque retreat by Radar brought back memories of the past, and Kobe Bryant's past videos began to play on the big screen again. The atmosphere at Staples, which was originally enthusiastic, became a little...
Sad.
Moreover, during the halftime break, the Lakers cheerleading team did not perform again. Today is not a special day, but I saw the shadow of that person on the radar.
The sadness ended with the start of the second half. The Lakers were terrible in the third quarter. Everyone was scoring points, and the Spurs' defensive formation was completely shattered.
LeBron James finally stopped recuperating and turned into a heavy tank, unstoppable along the way. His breakthroughs were overwhelming and he dunked heavily, again and again.
Danny Green also felt very good today. He hit two three-pointers and a mid-range shot in the third quarter, scoring 8 points alone.
And Cousins under the basket is like an ancient beast. He catches the ball, turns around, rebounds, and dunks after catching the ball.
The older cousin who was restless also played some tricks. He received a pass from LeBron James in the half-court circle. Facing Gay's blockage, he dribbled with his back and rushed to the basket. Although Boltel was against him,
They interfered and caused his shot to miss, but the unstoppable cousin took the shot and grabbed it, completing the dunk, which shocked everyone.
The Spurs' offense suddenly stalled, and they didn't score a point in the first three minutes of the third quarter. It was at this time that the Lakers reopened the score.
In the second half of the third quarter, Radar still relied on breakthroughs and three-pointers to chase points. Among them, Aldridge shared some of the pressure for Radar, scoring two goals and one free throw.
At the end of the third quarter, the Lakers led 88-76, and with a score of 30-19 in a single quarter, the game seemed to have no suspense.
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Lakers' starting five were still on the court. Radar scored 6 points alone, helping the Spurs start to chase points. However, it was difficult for the Spurs to catch up with six hands. The three superstars of the Lakers were more powerful than the other.
James broke through the high throw and assisted his cousin with a one-handed dunk, which scared Boltel's little heart.
Then the little emperor hit a three-pointer from the outside. Not to be outdone, the thick-eyebrow brother stared at Ade's defense and hit a layup. After receiving a pass from Rondo from the outside, he scored another three-pointer.
98 to 82, the game is over!
When the Lakers rested James, Rondo and Danny Green, who were in their thirties, they thought the Spurs were giving up.
But...
Radar doesn’t agree!
How difficult it is to recover 16 points from the five-star Lakers.
Even though there are thousands of people who have gone to me, even though the difference is huge, I still won’t give up.
Super aiming has been deployed, please bring your level 3 heads and wear body armor!
Now on the court, Lakers guards Bradley and JR Smith are unable to limit the radar and hit three-pointers!
The all-out thunder mode has been turned on. Radar did not hesitate to consume physical energy, led the defense at half-court, and stole the ball from Bradley in one fell swoop.
Radar rushed towards the basket, Bradley and Nongmei were chasing after him. His cousin was still serving just now, but before halftime, he suddenly heard Nongmei shouting: "Stop him, stop him..."
My eldest cousin doesn’t know why, what, what did you say...
Older cousin: Hey, did you see something swishing past just now? What are you chasing?
Big cousin: I’m going, so fast, layup! (The big cousin’s inner drama is really full)
Murray and others on the Spurs bench were already jumping up, the radar was too fast.
The Spurs started foul tactics. Mills fouled J.R. Smith. Since the number of accumulated fouls had not yet reached the free throw time, the Lakers continued to serve the frontcourt ball.
The eldest cousin caught the ball inside, and Boltel fouled again. The continuous fouls made the eldest cousin's mentality unstable. He had already shot the ball just now, but Boltel held his hand abruptly.
Cousins stepped to the free throw line, and God helped the Spurs. Cousins missed both free throws. Now the cousin was completely uneasy and began to mutter some unknown words.
The Spurs pushed for a counterattack, but the radar did not look at Bradley who was defending in front of him. He hit a three-pointer one meter away from the three-point line.
The foul tactics continued, and Boltel attacked Cousins again.
Bortle was still looking at Cousins with a smile. Even though the angry Cousins saw Bortle's innocent smile, he had no choice but to reach out and not hit the smiling man.
Boltel: You can hit people, but be gentle, cousin, but you can't score free throws.
Cousins's missed first free throw made the Lakers dare not be careless, and they immediately replaced James and Danny Green.
The second free throw was made, and the Spurs continued to attack. This time the radar was guarding Danny Green, but the super aiming was turned on. The radar was double-teamed by Green and Bradley and still made this unsolvable three-pointer.
Just like this, the Spurs foul tactics, specifically looking for one person to set the mentality. During the offense, the radar has unlimited firing rights, and the other four are willing to accompany him.
The Lakers have been unable to find opportunities to play sports. Bortle left the game with six fouls and Carroll continued. No, Cousins was also replaced.
It's not that Cousins can't shoot free throws, but that he has continuous fouls. The two points that cost him either a dunk or a rebound under the basket are just lost. Instead, he has to rely on free throws to score. What kind of unstable scoring is this?
There is a dunk that is stable.
When the radar's super targeting ended, there were 3 minutes left in the game, and the Spurs miraculously led by two points.
112 to 110!
During the timeout, James looked at Radar's back and remembered that Radar had just fought against five Lakers by himself and did not give up even in the face of a 16-point difference. Isn't this the Mamba mentality?
Chapter completed!
