NBA: The Talent Burst from the Start

If Kobe is a fist, then the five members of the Spurs team are like five pieces of cloth forming an invisible big net, no matter how powerful his fist is, it just hits the cotton.

This is also a play that Popovich has laid out in advance. The Spurs' zone defense is also very efficient in the entire league, plus they have the best perimeter defender in the league.

As a result, the Lakers without Lin Lei have become somewhat deformed both offensively and defensively.

Looking at Kobe in front of him, Phil Jackson didn't have too many tactics.

"Is it better than your physical strength? Is there any physical discomfort!"

On the contrary, Kobe's physical condition is what Phil Jackson is most worried about now.

Unexpectedly, when Kobe heard the words, he shook his head very firmly: "Coach, I feel very good, there is no need to make substitutions until the end of the third quarter.

Let our team continue to fight, I believe we will be able to recover the score!

When Kobe said these words, his eyes were very firm, and he also had an irresistible attitude.

It is precisely because of his attitude that Kobe has been able to stand at the top of the league for so many years.

And the original champion lineup that appeared with Kobe Bryant, after this game, was completely returned to its original shape, and everyone found their own shortcomings.

So Phil Jackson picked up the tactical board and began to arrange some very precise and rigorous tactics for everyone as he did during the finals last season.

And these tactics revolve around Kobe Gasol and Bynum, the main triangle offense.

After the timeout, Bryant continued his strong performance and scored under Leonard's defense, and the Spurs also responded.

The situation on the field began to stalemate, and no one could continue to expand the lead or catch up with the score.

When the third quarter ended, the score came to 100:92.

The Lakers are still 8 points behind.

In the third quarter, the Spurs have played their highest performance in nearly half a season, not only restricting the Lakers very seriously on the defensive end, but also making the Lakers somewhat difficult to parry on the offensive end.

The Spurs have always played team basketball, and their defense can limit opponents to a great extent.

There are not many times when the score exceeds 100, and it is extremely rare to break 100 in three quarters. This has indeed exceeded their previous performance.

So the two commentators on the scene also began to discuss there, how does Popovich use the tactics of the current Spurs team, and what does a head coach mean to a team?

If only on the surface, Popovich is not on the field, but he can make his teammates play better than on the field.

For the discussion of this commentator, Van Gundy denied it on the spot. As a former head coach, he naturally knew what it would mean if a team did not have a head coach?

"If there is no head coach, there is no way to open the tactics on the field, and there will be big problems in the coordination and scheduling between players.

While it may seem like the Spurs are playing really well when Popovich isn't on the floor, don't overlook the fact that Popovich has worked so hard for so many years that the Spurs are what they are now. .

Moreover, the Spurs have already performed exceptionally. This state may only be played in the playoffs and even the finals. Now that they are showing this state, it means that they are inspired by Popovich.”||!

It has to be said that Van Gundy's analysis of the problem is still very profound.

The two commentators discussed this kind of issue in the third quarter, nothing more than to delay the time, and at the same time let everyone have a little interesting conversation, not to disrespect Popovich.

Just as the commentator was in full swing on the stage, the Lakers' bench was a little gloomy.

In the third quarter, when their championship team showed their full strength, they still did not tie with the Spurs, which also made everyone lose a lot in terms of momentum.

Looking at the players who were a little depressed, Phil Jackson immediately made a decision.

"Since the opponent has already sent the strongest lineup, we will also send the same lineup in the fourth quarter.

Point guard Beverley.

Shooting guard Kobe Bryant.

Small forward Lin Lei.

Power forward Gasol.

Center Dayao!"

As soon as this lineup came out, it was also all the trump cards of the Lakers.

The Spurs still continued the lineup from the previous quarter, and Duncan almost played the third quarter, which was also a huge drain on the veteran's stamina.

Seeing this, their substitute coach also took the initiative to come forward to inquire.

Duncan, do you feel like your stamina can still hold up? Why don't you rest for a while in Section 4..."

"I'm fine!""

Facing the proposal of the substitute coach, Tim Duncan shook his head directly, his tone full of firmness.

"I can still play and feel like I'm in very good shape!

Although Duncan said so, his forehead was full of sweat, and the whole person looked indescribably tired.

The reason why Duncan attaches so much importance to this game is very clear to him, this is no longer a simple contest between the two teams, but more with Popovich's expectations.

In this case, the Spurs will also face a lot of trouble if they don't try their best to make it to the playoffs.

Seeing Duncan insisting again and again, the substitute coach naturally didn't say much. He turned his head and saw Tony Parker and others, and found that the rest of the players were also very determined.

Even Yi (De Nuo Zhao) burst into a strong flame in the unsmiling Leonard's eyes.

Since returning to the bench, Leonard's eyes have always stayed on the Lakers side.

He has been observing Lin Lei's movements. After realizing that Lin Lei is about to debut, Leonard's heart is also full of expectations.

Although the Spurs made today's big reversal in the third quarter and had a nearly ten-point advantage, Leonard's defense also contributed, and it made Kobe and a perimeter feel a headache.

But there is also a premise that Lin Lei does not appear.

If Lin Lei comes on stage, this is the top league superstar, the Lakers will become more difficult to play, but through the third quarter, Leonard has a little confidence, he decided to face his inner demons and sent Lin Lei again challenge.

"Lin Lei, come on, this time I must beat you on defense!
