Chapter 548

In the following two rounds, the offense of the Lakers also started to hit the iron. First, Wade made a throw after the breakthrough, and then Ye Xuan directly launched a quick counterattack after grabbing the backcourt rebound, but it was a pity that he shot at the end I was interfered by Leonard during the game, so I couldn't get points, but fortunately, the Spurs' offense also had problems. Danny Green's three-pointer hit the iron, which prevented Ye Xuan's fast break Afterwards, Leonard looked back and wanted to force a solo shot, but he was also interrupted by Solomon Hill's interference, but this time the Spurs took the offensive rebound and Jefferson grabbed it. After the offensive rebound, he quickly handed the ball to Aldridge, and Aldridge didn't hesitate this time, and made a direct mid-range shot to even out the point difference.

At this time, Wharton Jr. also took the initiative to call a timeout. He knew that this game would not be won as easily as the game against the Grizzlies, and judging by the opponent's hand feeling today, maybe it will be It is a protracted battle, so he needs to adjust personnel in advance to prepare for a protracted war, so this time he directly replaced Solomon Hill and Wade, replaced Clarkson and the three-pointer Nick Young with a more accurate shooting rate.

The Spurs also made personnel adjustments, replacing Parker with another veteran—Ginobili. Ginobili actually did not perform well in the first round against the Rockets. Not very good. In the first three games, he only scored two points in total, but in the crucial fourth game, he suddenly broke out and scored 17 points, and even gave Harden a hot pot at the last moment. This caused the Rockets to lose the chance of a comeback, so Mr. Zhuge Weiqi trusted Ginobili very much.

The substitution is over, the game restarts, and the Lakers serve from the sideline. This time, the Lakers lineup is more flexible than the starting lineup. First of all, it is naturally because the two players who have been replaced have the ability to play singles with the ball. And the three-point shooting rate will be higher, but the reason why they are placed on the bench is mainly because their defense and teamwork are indeed worse.

Ye Xuan received the serve, immediately called Randall to step forward for a pick-and-roll, and then took two quick steps inward, then passed the ball to Clarkson who was waiting on the left side. The ball found Nick Young who ran out of the open space, and Yang Shaoxia was unambiguous, and when he pulled it up, he made a three-pointer and hit the ball steadily.

Although the Spurs' lineup has good combat effectiveness, their physical strength is obviously a huge problem. After less than 3 minutes of the game, the Spurs had to take advantage of a dead ball to put the already exhausted Jefferson was replaced, and at the same time their substitute lineup was fully on the field. After Mills and others came on the field, the overall strength of the Spurs actually dropped a notch. Unlike the fierce firepower of the Lakers, their lineup has firepower. It is really a bit weak, basically relying on foreign workers to wear out the time of the bench. In the game against the Rockets, their bench lineup lost an average of 7.7 points per game.

After the substitution, the Spurs' loophole was found by the Lakers. The Lakers were also very decisive. They directly replaced Speights and Larry Nance Jr. to force the opponent's inside transition. There are indeed some problems in the interior now. David Lee seems to fill the vacancy after Jefferson was replaced, but in fact his slow pace has become the key target of the Lakers, often through the interior The pick-and-roll counter-running of the two diverted David Lee's attention, which completely disappeared the opponent's inside defense. At the end of the first quarter, the Lakers easily won the first quarter when Ye Xuan played the entire first quarter. With an 8-point lead, of course the Spurs didn't get any good chances to rest. Leonard's mission is still the same as in the last playoff matchup. The whole audience focused on Ye Xuan, but now Ye Xuan's offensive methods are more comprehensive, and his skills are also more comprehensive, so in the case of one-on-one, although the offensive efficiency will be affected, it will not be like the rookie season, when he is defended by Leonard in a game. I got more than ten points.

The second quarter began very soon. The Lakers had Wade leading Gerald Green, Raymond Felton and others to play on the court, while the Spurs had Parker leading the substitutes. Playing ball, the duel between the two veterans, Wade is older than Parker, but obviously the old Wade is still in a very good state, two consecutive singles with the ball against the opponent, instantly helping the Lakers to close the point difference It has expanded to double digits, and the Spurs seem to have been affected by the home audience, and the feel has begun to decline. The most obvious point is that Jonathan Simmons made two shots in a row, and they were shot from the same position. Once it was three non-stick, and the other time it was too powerful, and it came out of the box.

Of course, this is not the most terrible thing about the Spurs. They are still facing a crisis in the rotation. The substitute lineup has only scored 5 points since they came on the field, and the Lakers have already scored 13 points unknowingly. It was unacceptable for the Spurs, so the old man just replaced Leonard, who had only rested for more than two minutes, without saying a word.

However, since the Lakers are in an advantageous period, they will naturally not disrupt their substitution plan because of the opponent's temporary adjustment, so apart from replacing Lai Gasol, who has rested for more than five minutes, there is no more What adjustments have been made? Now both Aldridge and Leonard are on the Spurs field, but Ye Xuan still hasn't returned to the Lakers side, but the Lakers still take the initiative on the field, because this At that moment, Felton suddenly exploded. First, he controlled the ball and suddenly made a three-point attack when Parker was not close to him. Then he received Wade's pass from the bottom corner and lightly After swaying slightly, Green, who flew over to defend, pulled to the side, made another three-pointer, and hit the ball.

The two consecutive three-pointers also successfully helped Ye Xuan win almost 2 minutes of rest time, so the Lakers continued until 4 minutes into the second quarter, and the Spurs chased the score again. At ten minutes, Ye Xuan was replaced. After this substitution, the gap between the two teams became apparent again. After Ye Xuan was replaced, he immediately took control of the situation on the court.

First, he used his own fake action to deceive Leonard's second foul while attacking with the ball, and then gave the old sports car a big cap again on the defensive end. This block also successfully made the Lakers play once Quickly counterattacked. After Ye Xuan was replaced in the second quarter, the momentum of the Spurs chasing points obviously stagnated. After a few rounds, if it weren't for Green and Leonard hitting a life-saving three-pointer, they could barely pass the game. If the point difference is maintained at about ten points, then it is estimated that the Spurs can get off work early now.

However, in terms of the physical strength of the players, the Lakers have obviously taken a certain lead, and judging from the points of the game, the Lakers are also leading, and the Lakers, led by Ye Xuan, control the rhythm of the game. , so the Spurs were in a completely passive situation in this game. This situation also made Mr. Zhuge Weiqi very embarrassed, and this embarrassing situation was finally broken in the second half of the second quarter. The Spurs Jefferson was replaced again, but the Lakers replaced Wade, who had played for more than half a quarter, and replaced him with Clarkson. This lineup, with both Solomon Hill and Clarkson on the court, was obviously sudden. It means to strengthen the defense.

The most directly affected by the substitution this time are Leonard and Parker. It would have been embarrassing enough for the old sports car to be hated by Ye Xuan today, but not long after the substitution, he was replaced by Solomon -Hill made a steal directly after switching defenses. This mistake directly caused the Spurs to be hit by the Lakers with a fast-break three-pointer, which widened the point difference to 15 points. After that, Leonard wanted to play low singles, but he was not only led Solomon Hill defended him against interference, and Clarkson and Randall on the side also made moves to come over to cover the defense from time to time, which made Leonard's offense also poor.

Afterwards, the Spurs tried to open up the situation with an inside attack, and Jefferson was also very competitive inside and singled Gasol twice in a row, but unexpectedly the Lakers called a timeout decisively and replaced Hibbert. Gasol was replaced. Anyway, Gasol was replaced at about the same time as Wade. Now it is time to rest for a while. After this substitution, the Spurs were completely misfired on the offensive end. Only Aldrie Odds can still barely make a sound, and his offensive efficiency today is actually not good enough.

The second quarter ended like this. After the Lakers got an eight-point lead in the first quarter, they won the opponent again by eight points in the second quarter. At the end of the first half, the Lakers led the opponent by ten. Six points into halftime.The atmosphere in the locker room of the Lakers is peaceful. After all, being able to gain so many leads in the playoffs is a huge advantage for the Lakers, both psychologically and situationally. The Spurs are different. Well, after Duncan left the team, the old man felt that the team's configuration was very average. Although in the end he barely made up the team and built the team in a decent shape, but now it seems that Leonard alone can fight against the team. Ye Xuan's move has lost some of its power. Now that Ye Xuan has grown up, defense alone is no longer enough to deal with him. This also makes the Spurs' game situation even more unfavorable, but he doesn't have many cards in his hand now. Unless you use dirty tricks, it is difficult to find a breakthrough, but using dirty tricks made the old man think of the scumbag incident. Anyone with a discerning eye can see the alliance's protection of Ye Xuan, so the dirty tricks are likely to backfire. The old man has nothing to do.

The second half of the game began quickly. The Lakers entered the third quarter with a huge lead of 16 points. For the Spurs, they can no longer stabilize the ball and can only send one A more gamble-style lineup went to the court to chase points, so they didn't play Jefferson, but Aldridge, Simmons, Leonard, Danny Green and Ginobili, but the Lakers didn't play because of their opponents. After falling behind by [-] points, he began to get carried away, but he still sent a relatively strong lineup to deal with it. Ye Xuan, Wade and Gasol still appeared on the court, and the other two positions were Matt Barnes and Stanley. Peetz, Speights' three-point shooting ability, defense and double-team ability are still very good, and can help Barnes make up for the ball when he recklessly goes to catch the ball.

And this lineup also makes the Spurs very uncomfortable, because the opponent's scoring ability is too strong, and without Jefferson on their side, the defense of the inside becomes a problem. Although Simmons can have some deterrence, However, Ye Xuan and Wade still rushed when they should, and layup when they should layup. They didn't pay attention to Simmons' threat at all. Ye Xuan even sent an alley-oop, which was played by Barnes who had just played. This match is complete.

The Lakers are playing more and more happily, but the morale of the Spurs is obviously getting lower. Finally, when they played less than 4 minutes in the third quarter, the Lakers stabilized the point difference at [-] points Above, Ye Xuan and other main players were replaced. This substitution basically meant that the Lakers felt that the game had entered garbage time.

However, the Spurs obviously haven't given up yet. After the Lakers' substitutions, the Spurs still want to seize this opportunity to chase points. They still let Leonard and others continue to play on the court, and there is still time left in the third quarter. In the last two minutes or so, the point difference was successfully narrowed to 13 points, but the Lakers waved their hands at this time and replaced Ye Xuan and Gasol again. On the one side is the old Spurs team that has been fighting for 10 minutes. The result is naturally predictable. With the successful suppression of the Spurs' counterattack this time, the Lakers basically declared victory in this game.

The entire fourth quarter basically turned into garbage time. In the end, the Lakers also relied on their excellent performance in the first two quarters and Ye Xuan's all-around performance on both ends of the offense and defense. Many people did not expect the disparity in the score and the disparity in the situation. They did not expect that the Spurs, which could easily eliminate the Rockets, would appear so powerless in the face of the Lakers. Ye Xuan's 113 points, 98 rebounds, 31 assists, 3 blocks and 8 steals also amazed the media, after all, he only played 3 minutes in this game.
