Chapter five hundred and two Buddha praise
The Lakers' starting lineups are Fisher, Kobe, Weisha, Gasol, and Radmanovic.
The Spurs are basically the same ones.
G, D, P, Bowen, Argentinian Fabricio Oberto.
The Spurs maintained the roster that won the championship last season, but they were once powerful, which does not mean they are strong now.
There have been many flashes of cerebral phylums in the history of the NBA that can name a certain season but cannot continue its dominance. The Spurs have been among the No. 1 group for many years, and it is not completely appropriate and accurate to call it flash of cerebral phylums, but they have never maintained their dominance for two consecutive years.
The reason is that in the small ball market, the free market is powerless to recruit players, and they can only rely on internal drafts to tap potential.
On the other hand, once the management changes to passiveness to activeness and is determined to strengthen, it can attract Paul Gasol, who is "unusual" in the history of the Lakers.
There is only one All-Star inside player, but what changes is the embarrassing situation where the Lakers frequently encounter opponent's grenades after the Sharks travel east.
Gasol was worthy of Duncan when he jumped the ball at the beginning, and also reached a 230 cm wingspan, a similar height, and even a jumping power. Whether he could jump to the ball depends on his own predictions.
Gasol's long arm touched the ball.
The Lakers started.
Wei Xia went to the frontcourt to receive a pass from Fisher. He saw Gasol's momentum at the low position as if he wanted to eat Duncan.
Give the ball over.
Gasol feinted, waiting for Kobe to escape from Bowen's harassment and rushed out of the crowd.
Duncan switched defense to Kobe, he only stood and didn't jump, and only had an impact with his body. The Lakers' first offense was missed by Kobe's jump shot from outside the paint area on the left.
The Spurs performed more patiently than the Lakers.
Parker fought one-on-one on the weak side, and Oberto went online to pick-and-roll, but the Frenchman's bottom line was blocked, and he took a horizontal step but did not take action, giving the ball to Oberto.
Oberto switched to Ginobili again.
Ginobili gave the ball to Bowen, who swept Wei Xia with a fake move and scored a jump shot from the three-point line.
2 to 0
"The Spurs have a good start," the TNT commentator praised.
His partner Doug Collins said: "The style of playing between the two teams can be seen from the first offense and defense. The Lakers advocate personal abilities more, so their tactics are mainly to create offensive opportunities for the stars. The Spurs pay more attention to team cooperation, and even Bruce Bowen has the ability to score at any position."
If Collins' last words were cut off, he would be fine.
Wei Xia opened the bottom corner, Kobe held the ball from the left, and Fisher was assigned to the bottom corner on the other side.
Radmanovic took the ball from the free throw line. He turned around and found that Oberto's defense had opened half a meter and shot decisively.
2 to 2
After Odom was traded, Radmanovic was the Lakers' stable starting inside line. He and Gasol both shot with one hand, which could open up space for the outside line.
Parker quickly attacked the frontcourt with the ball.
Fisher poses as a defensive expert to defend himself as a defensive brick. Parker turned his body and threw Parker's defense to the left like a tail-swinging tail. Since then, the right was cleared. The French dribble deeper, and Wei Xia was about to rush over to assist in the defense. Parker was already prepared, and he threw a one-handed shot and hit a hollow shot.
4 to 2
"Derick, can you hold him up for an extra second?" Weisha thought Fisher was getting rid of too quickly.
Parker has reached the point of being at will after Fisher. No matter how active the defense is, he cannot defend himself.
Fisher's answer was a little sad: "If I could control it..."
That's right. It's like hoping that Fisher will stare at Parker, as if you have expectations for Loeff's ability to protect the basket. The possibility of Kobe upgrading to a legendary beast "Rational Science" is more hopeful than hoping that Fisher will defend Parker's breakthrough.
After all, the obstacle to Kobe's transformation into a reasonable subject is not a problem of ability, but a problem of willingness to "of course I can, but I don't."
Fisher serves Wei Xia.
Under the triangular offensive system, there is no strict regulation on who holds the ball to pass the half.
All three outsiders can be lucky, but Kobe usually doesn't do rough work without singles. So Weisha and Fisher took turns dribbling over halftime.
Just as Wei Xia brought the ball to the frontcourt, he found that the Spurs' formation had changed.
They concentrated their manpower on the left and surrounded the place, mainly in the middle of the paint area, but there were not many people in the restricted area.
Duncan and Oberto were both there - Wei Xia was slightly moved and let Gasol pick-and-roll on the spot.
Wei Xia originally planned to go to Duncan's position and use his speed to kill him.
In every game, Wei Xia will forget the bleak reality that he is now making a foul, which is not as easy as it has been.
But this time, he saw the charming eyes thrown by Paul Gasol.
Gasol turned around and pointed to the basket in front. In order to prevent Wei Xia from breaking through, Duncan and Oberto were blocking the line. The Silver and Black Legion's penalty area turned into a defensive vacuum.
Wei Xia shouted softly, took the initiative to lean on Duncan, took a step back, and further created a posture of preparing for attack, allowing Duncan's defense to continue to move forward. As a result, Shi Fo saw Wei Xia's ball throwing from his head, but the movement and the basketball's flying arc were obviously not heading towards the basket.
Gasol, who had returned to the penalty area from unknown when he jumped up easily and dunked.
"Great Wish! This is the best pass!" Gasol praised all the way.
Wei Xia only slapped him in high fives, accepting all his praise in his heart, but his face looked indifferent with "I'm not good enough".
On the way back to defense, Wei Xia not only heard Gasol's praise in his heart, but also thought about how to help Fisher solve Parker.
Since last year, Parker, who has made rapid progress, has been the Spurs' offensive starting point and main offensive player.
Duncan is still the team's offensive and defensive axis, the backbone of defense, the cornerstone, and the soul of no one can open it, but it is no dispute that his personal offensive influence is not as good as that of the French.
Wei Xia vs. Bowen, Kobe vs. Ginobili, and Fisher vs. Parker. It seems that this match is a bit wrong.
Wei Xia should be asked to defend Parker, that's the only way.
But the Zen master's thinking always slips around like walking on a banana peel. If you want to understand his thoughts, please understand philosophy first.
The Spurs let Bowen catch the ball outside the three-point line.
Out of respect and trust for Bowen's three-point shooting at the top of the arc, Wei Xia put two and a half meters away, stood there without lowering his waist, and opened his hands. Those who understand the ball could see that he was despising Bowen's three-point threat.
Fans who don’t understand football are asking: “Does Wish want to hug Bruce Bowen? Why? Are they not opponents?”
Bao Wen knew the truth that a real man could bend and stretch, so Wei Xia specified that he would put three points on the top of the arc, and he could not let the opponent succeed, even if it was a two and a half meters away.
He stood there awkwardly, without a teammate around him.
Wei Xia was sure that Bowen had only one passer, that was Parker.
Fisher couldn't defend Parker with the ball, and Parker without the ball was even worse. The Frenchman were as fast as lightning. They had a stalemate for a few seconds, and Fisher realized it.
Hey, why do I have to chase him? Why should he walk me perfectly? I won’t chase him anymore. This is called having no moves!
Fisher suddenly stopped, with a look of depressed look on his face, "I'm tired, I'll take a break." Parker ran to the outside of the three-point line on the left corner to catch the ball, and found that Fisher was almost five meters away from him, and he couldn't do it without taking action.
It is definitely wrong to give up chasing and defending people without the ball, but in specific situations, it is not the case when facing a specific group of people.
This season, Parker averaged 18.8 points per game, the Spurs' scoring leader, with a 25% three-point shooting percentage and an average of 0.2.
His shooting percentage at the basket reached 64.5%, which is very threatening, with a 45% level of close shooting. He is first-class efficiency among guards, but his mid-range distance is only 42%, with very few shots, and 40.9% of two-pointers from a long distance. Both shots and hits are far more confident than the mid-range. Does this mean that his long-range two-pointers are more confident? No, confidence is completely given by the opponent.
Because he is not accurate in shooting, his teammates often adopt the strategy of letting him shoot.
That is, Parker shot 40% of the long-distance two points when he was emptied.
Now he shoots only 25% of his three-pointers on average.
Fisher's defensive attitude with his hands on his hips is enough to make every fan who advocates defense curse, but if Parker doesn't make a shot, he will swallow up any dissatisfaction.
"Bang!"
The loud ironstorm proved the correctness of Fisher's abandonment of defense.
The ball fell to the corner, and Weisha picked it up before it was out of bounds, got a rebound and turned back to Fisher.
Fisher is definitely not the one who gets beaten up. He dribbled the ball by himself and went to the frontcourt to fight Parker one-on-one.
Wei Xia came to him without saying a word and gave him a pick-and-roll.
Fisher dared not go in the pick-and-roll direction because he could indeed break through Parker by taking the pick-and-roll, but he had to face Bruce Bowen, who was ten times more difficult than Parker.
He started in the opposite direction. Although Parker's offense was strong, the defense was just that.
Fisher easily overwhelmed his defense, but he rushed outside the paint area and encountered Duncan's defense again.
Duncan used his body wisely as a decoration and put it under the basket, and Fisher made a quick move.
But...
How should Duncan face Wish, which is attacking from the front when he defends the enemy on the side?
"Wish jumps up with all his might!"
"Amazing height, TD has no choice!"
Doug Collins screamed, and Wei Xia grabbed the ball that popped out of the basket, swung all her strength, and smashed it into the basket. Her body with gravity rode on Duncan's neck after successfully buckled.
“!!!”
"Good ball." Duncan said lightly, letting the younger generation ride on his neck and act like a mighty one.
Wei Xia’s original intention was to make up the buttons, and it was an accident to ride Duncan on his head.
After landing, he nodded friendly and then walked back.
Duncan wanted to return a goal, but his signature 45-point shooting was a bit weaker, and he bounced out of the basket, and Wei Xia got the rebound again. Bowen seized the road to defend immediately.
Wei Xia wanted to speed up the pace, and waved her elbow while moving, Bao Wen lay down directly, and the referee whistle sounded.
