NBA: Strongest In The History Of Holding A Large Ball

The Lakers fans at the scene couldn't help but sigh. And the five people on the court of the Lakers also took off the breath that had been tense just like the audience at the scene.

James has tried his best to lead the Lakers to overtake the score, but Chang Tiancheng pulled the score back.

As the saying goes: one blow, then decline, three and exhaustion.

If the Lakers want to bounce back now, they can only count on someone other than James to step up.

But the rest of the Lakers team didn't feel good today, and although Davis, another superstar on the inside, performed commendably in the face of the small lineup sent by the Spurs, but now when facing Drummond, who is a circle older than him, the whole person is limited.

Seeing that the score difference had reached 10 points, Hamm quickly called a timeout.

Popovich looked at the Lakers' bench and smiled meaningfully.

He replaced Chang Tiancheng, Wembanyama and Drummond, leaving only Keldon and Sochan, the core duo of last season, on the court, and sending Collins + Sandro on the inside, supplemented by Graham as another outside firepower point and completing the team's organizational tasks.

After the break, the Lakers replaced James, who had previously consumed a lot of energy, re-sent Bamba to the court, and moved Hachimura to the No. 3 position.

Doing so will put the thick eyebrows back in the fourth position, hoping that the thick eyebrows can use their advantages to play the score back by a dozen.

But Collins originally played as a center in the Spurs, and now he is standing in the No. 4 position facing thick eyebrows, and his figure is not at a loss. Although Bushy Eyebrow used his mobility to complete two dunks under the basket, he did not achieve anything else on the offensive end.

The third quarter ended in a depressing atmosphere, and the Lakers fans gradually lost their initial enthusiasm, and some fans have even begun to pack up their things and prepare to leave the court.

James looked up at the scoreboard on the court, and the score of 72:85 made him sigh.

Although he had already had plenty of rest in the second half of the third quarter, Chang Tiancheng and Wembanyama on the opposite side went off the court at the same time as him, while his own Davis played the whole third quarter.

In the fourth quarter, if you play by yourself, you will have to face the Spurs' inside and outside twin stars alone, and it may be difficult to recover the disadvantage.

At this moment, Thick Eyebrows came to James's side, sat down and asked, "LeBron, I think we have to win this game today." "

Do you want to keep playing?" James was a little surprised, "You've got a lot of minutes today, it's just a regular season game." I care more about your health than about victory.

Davis shook his head: "LeBron, my body is fine. Big deal, I can apply for a rotation rest for the next game, but today's game, I want to win!"

"Why?" James wondered.

But Davis didn't say anything more, instead stood up and went to talk to Coach Hamm. It can be seen that he is bound to win today's game, even if his team is still 15 points behind.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Lakers sent James + Davis, and the Spurs also sent their own starting lineup to respond.

Popovich wanted to use his starting lineup at the beginning of the fourth quarter to directly end the suspense of the game, but what he didn't expect was that Davis actually chose to continue playing. In his planning, the Lakers' lineup at the beginning of the fourth quarter should have been James with a group of rotations to play his one-star shot, but he didn't expect Davis to also come on the court to continue the game.

However, Popovich did not make any further personnel changes, and he did not think that a Davis who had already consumed a lot of energy in the first three quarters could bring anything to this Lakers team.

James came to the top of the Spurs' arc with the ball, and saw Davis holding Wembanyama behind him and reaching for the ball, so he passed the ball with a ground-hitting pass.

However, the pass was still dangerous, and Wembanyama's outstretched long arm almost ruined it.

After Davis held the ball steady, he went straight down to the back of the game, forced Wembanyama away with his broad shoulders, and then straightened his arm to dangle Drummond.

Drummond naturally couldn't watch himself being dunked like this, so he jumped up between Davis and the basket, reaching out to try to block Davis.

The interference had a big effect, as Davis completed the dunk but failed to dunk the ball into the basket.

However, Drummond's action was also whistled for a foul by the referee, and Davis stood on the free throw line, adjusted for a long time, and scored both free throws.

In the next round, Wembanyama wanted to get back on the field, so he stretched out his long arm to ask Chang Tiancheng for the ball.

In Chang Tiancheng's view, giving the ball to Wembanyama at this time is not the best solution. Because the Lakers, especially Davis, are obviously going to catch Wembanyama when they get on the court in the fourth quarter, but the Spurs are still leading by as many as 13 points, and it is not impossible to play Wembanyama two.

After careful consideration, Chang Tiancheng still passed the ball high to Wembanyama.

After Wembanyama received the ball, he faced Davis, first turned his back to it, and found that Davis was not moving, so he switched to the face frame and prepared to break through Davis.

Unexpectedly, Davis's position was very dead, and his footsteps tightly sealed Wembanyama's breakthrough route. After Wembanyama broke through twice and found that he couldn't break through, he had to twist his body and forcibly complete the shot, which naturally ended in iron.

The Lakers immediately grabbed the rebound and launched a fast-break attack, and before the Spurs could finish their defense, James completed a fast-break layup and nearly caused another defensive foul on Vassell.

Wembanyama was constrained by the Lakers on both offensive and defensive ends in a row, and he continued to ask Chang Tiancheng for the ball, hoping to make up for the embarrassment of the first two rounds through his personal ability.

But the moment Wembanyama received the ball, Vanderbilt was quick and steals the ball directly and continued to give it to James.

And Chang Tiancheng had expected it this time, and stood in a good position on James' breakthrough route in advance, ready to make James an offensive foul at any time.

But after James rushed to Chang Tiancheng's face, he threw the ball directly behind his head. Behind him, Davis soared into the air and completed an aerial relay dunk.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Lakers directly played a wave of 6-0 offensive mini-climax, which had the momentum to reverse the situation of the game.
