The Lakers' defensive strategy is to target people. Guo Xu let Parker go one and a half distance, which can interfere with shooting and prevent breakthroughs. His center of gravity is very low and he is fully focused, which is completely different from the regular season.

Gasol pulled to the middle to play the pick-and-roll. Guo Xu saw someone coming from the side and quickly retreated and walked away from the cover, accurately blocking Parker's breakthrough route without any gaps.

In the last round, Jeremy Lin was completely unable to break through by Guo Xu's defense. He averaged 26 minutes per game, only scored 5 points and 3.5 assists, with a shooting percentage of 25%, and a three-point shooting percentage of 16.7%. When he thought of this data, Parker felt his scalp numb. He did not try to attack strongly, and Guo Xu immediately passed the ball to Gasol.

Horford is more positioned outside and defends closely in the middle. He has the advantage of mobility and is rarely overtaken by the big man with the ball, nor will he allow Gasol to take easy shots from mid to long distance.

Gasol has better physical conditions than Horford. The two have similar styles of playing, so they know how to make the opponent uncomfortable. Since Horford entered the league, the results of the two fighting have basically exploded with each other. Gasol's data is slightly better, and Horford's shooting rate is higher.

Gasol moved one step across and passed the ball to Aldridge, who was one step inside the three-point line on the left. He retreated to this distance to get the ball, and Nurkic did not dare to follow him too far.

Ade immediately jumped straight with a straight arm when he received the ball, Nurkic only had a slight interference and ineffective, and the ball scored.0 to 2.

The Lakers attacked, Guo Xu played pick-and-roll with Nurkic in the half, and Ade defended. Guo Xu beat up slightly with the ball, and played "Worship Buddha" two meters outside the three-point line, and then changed direction to the right, accelerating two steps to get rid of Ade.

Ade can only block Guo Xu from the front. Once Guo Xu accelerates, he cannot follow the defense from the side, and the distance between the two is getting farther and farther away.

Gasol retreated to the penalty area to make up for defense. Guo Xu closed the ball when he was about to run into him. He turned around 360 degrees and flowed around him. He passed the ball close to Horford who cut to the basket at the empty space.

Horford jumped up in one step, and scored a dunk with both hands. 2-2.

The home fans applauded enthusiastically, and the two clapped their hands when they returned to defense.

Horford plays on the floor most of the time, but in fact he is not bad at bounce. He dunks many times in the regular season, including dribbling the ball in the backcourt and passing the opponent's center in the frontcourt with one-handed dunk.

Guo Xu attracts to make up for defense, and inside teammates can easily get dunk performance opportunities, but now the team lacks Feitianliu inside, so the Lakers cannot become the "Air Connection City".

TNT Radio Live broadcast game, commentator Kenny Smith smiled and said, "Facing with strong rivals Spurs Jason, he still performed very relaxedly. He played at the beginning. This time he cooperated, he should be selected as the top five goals today."

O'Neal, a guest, said: "I think the suspense is that he will use several games to eliminate the Spurs, and the Lakers must be the one who advances. His team has not missed the division finals yet."

The Spurs attacked, Parker and Gasol changed direction and broke through after playing pick-and-roll, and moved into the three-point line and were blocked by Guo Xu. Guo Xu could let Parker make three-pointers, but he wanted to easily make mid-range shots and break through.

Since 2012, Parker's mid-range shooting percentage has been very stable. This season, his three-point shooting percentage is 41.5%, but he can only make 0.4 shots per game.

Guo Xu does not need to switch defenses in the interior teammates, which is the key to the Lakers' defense. The Spurs cannot use pick-and-roll to create obvious misalignment opportunities. Most of Parker's breakthroughs are scored by pick-and-roll after scoring at the basket. He is the point guard with the most points in the interior in the active service.

Guo Xu is the nemesis of Parker's defender. Parker couldn't squeeze at his peak and couldn't break through. Now he is even more incapable. He can only dribble backwards and horizontally behind him, opening up space to pass to his teammates.

Gasol cut in an empty cut, leaned against Horford in the middle and took a step back, turned to the right and hooked his hand to score. 2 to 4.

The Spurs' cooperation successfully played, Horford's height and wingspan were both at a disadvantage, and Nurkic was led out of the basket by Ade. Ade must not let go. He was accurate in mid-range shots at the open space, and like Horford, he was a little prince in mid-range shots in the inside.

The Lakers attacked, Guo Xu was double-teamed from outside the three-point line, Horford held the ball with the ball at a high position, waiting for Guo Xu to pass the ball to the right bottom line.

The Spurs did not double-team this round. Booker received and shot three-pointers in the first round of the playoffs, with an average shooting percentage of 50%, and 2.5 three-pointers.

**Vicci is afraid that it will be more difficult for the rookie to show confidence after the short release. He is ready to wait for the second half to relax his defense against Booker, which is a test for the rookie's mentality.

Parker chased and defended, Guo Xu pulled it away at 50 degrees, and continued to dribble the ball under his crotch and took a step forward. Parker did not take the first two fake moves, Guo Xu did not dribble the ball under his crotch in the third move, and held the ball in his left hand and beat him slightly.

Parker thought he could dribble the ball under his crotch, and moved his body a little to the left. He was done with a slight move. Guo Xu held the ball with his left hand and accelerated to the middle. He leaned against Parker and rushed to the ball with his right hand. He avoided Gasol's defense and blocked the ball. 4 to 4.

Barkley said: "The Spurs want to win today, but it is definitely not possible to rely on Parker's single defense. If they don't want Jason to score more than 60 points, it's better to double-team early."

Smith said: "The Spurs double-team Jason in the regular season is very active because they know that he takes a lot of shots, don't pass the ball, and their teammates rarely shoot. Now that they double-team him, the Lakers' triangular offense is likely to be opened. The role players will be invincible as soon as they play."

**Vicci thought so. He sacrificed Parker in the last round to prevent others from fighting against the Pelicans, which was very effective. Stars often play super data against the Spurs, which is a problem they have been having since 1998.

**Vicci asked to try his best to defend Guo Xu's three-pointer, so that he could break through one on one, and he could assist in defending when he broke into the inside.

The Spurs don't expect Parker to break through, they just attack in other positions. Parker dribbled the ball across the halftime and passed it to Leonard. The latter is not suitable for pick-and-roll. His shoulders are particularly wide and look like Artest.

Leonard took the ball from the left and passed it to Ade in the low post, who singled out Nurkic, took a step and turned around and made a jump shot. 4-6.

In today's era of efficiency, the best scorers in the NBA who turn around jump shots in the middle distance are rarely used. Even Kobe has started to shoot three-pointers, averaging 7.1 shots per game, and 6 shots in the low post and mid-range shots.

But Ade still perseveres, just like the last defender in the desolate desert of dystopia, transforming the "worst shooting choice" in basketball into a powerful killer move.

Most of Ade's shots come from outside the three-second zone on the left, and Nurkic is obviously at a disadvantage against him. This is the biggest weakness of the Lakers' defensive end. Nurkic is not suitable for defending Gasol, and it is difficult to switch to defenders when encountering screens.

Kupchek once wanted to trade Nurkic in the middle of the season, using him as a bargaining chip to exchange for someone who can defend against pick-and-roll. Guo Xu suggested that it was cheaper to replace Tucker, so the manager asked him to stay in the team.

This summer, Kupchek will trade Nurkic to replace a big guy who can defend. As long as the center defends well, they will never lose to the Spurs in the regular season, and the Warriors will twice.

Guo Xu dribbled the ball to the three-point line and encountered a double team. He glanced at Booker, paused slightly, and suddenly started at the right position, passing through the gap between Parker and Leonard.

This time, Nurkic did not come out to cover, Horford pulled away, Guo Xu accelerated and passed two people, and easily entered the basketball on the right. This was a civilian layup, Gasol followed Nurkic on the other side, but failed to make up for defense. 6 to 6.
