Chapter 551 A Difficult Victory

The forced substitution of the Spurs also gave the Lakers some respite, but correspondingly, they also need to repay the team on the offensive end. After all, liberating them is not to let them relax. , Now that the pressure on the defensive end has decreased, it should make corresponding contributions on the offensive end, and in the next round, Gasol will stand up.

Since the Spurs didn't adapt to the rhythm of losing Jefferson for a while, after Ye Xuan's shot was shot, they were ready to start a fast break. As a result, the rebound was snatched by Gasol. Aldridge, who was grabbing a rebound from Sol, immediately pounced on him to defend him. Seeing that he had no chance of a second attack, Gasol immediately passed the ball back to Ye Xuan. After Ye Xuan received the ball Use Solomon Hill next to him to make a pick-and-roll, then take two steps inside and hit the ball with a throw.

The point difference between the two teams was further narrowed, and the Spurs' lead had been basically wiped out by the Lakers. However, at this moment, Leonard also broke out, first facing Solomon Hill's defensive force and hitting At the same time as two points, it caused the latter to foul, and then used the help of his teammates to force Ye Xuan to make a mistake in the defense, and this mistake also gave the Spurs a chance to counterattack, although in the end this counterattack ended. Ye Xuan made up for it by chasing Parker, but at least it shocked the Lakers, and in terms of physical strength, this kind of physical exertion of chasing back will also have some impact on Ye Xuan.

However, in the next few minutes, Ye Xuan was not affected by the mistake just now. He completely dominated the game. He scored 8 points with [-] offenses and [-] shots. Although the only pass was sent to Solomon- Hill's hands, and then the latter hit the iron, but scored eight points in four rounds, which is already considered a very efficient offensive Xiao Gaochao.

And Solomon Hill's state today is obviously a bit bad. With a few shots in the first quarter, he has made 5 of 0 shots from beyond the three-point line today. This is why the Lakers have not taken the lead so far today. As long as he can hit two of these five goals, the current situation of the Lakers will not be so passive, and most importantly, if he can make some contributions on the offensive end, it will also make the opponent's attack on Ye Xuan Double-teaming is not so rampant, at least there will be some scruples, not like now, not only Leonard will lead the defense of Ye Xuan, but also players are always ready to deal with double-teaming after Ye Xuan's forced breakthrough.

Soon Ye Xuan began to feel that his physical strength was declining significantly. Although his physical condition now chooses to undergo a repair before the start of each game, there is no way to replenish the loss of physical strength through these methods. If he wanted to continue to have plenty of physical strength in the second half, then Ye Xuan could only choose to use the physical strength recovery potion during the intermission.

But he also knows that if this game is still the same as it is now, then even if he can replenish his physical fitness and continue to help the team bite the score, but if his state starts to decline after a long time, then the team will still be able to win. would be in a disadvantageous situation.Going on like this is not a solution. The only thing I can look forward to is that my teammates can find their status in time. At least Solomon Hill can no longer be such a soft-footed shrimp on the offensive end.

The first half ended like this. In the first half of the game, the Lakers trailed by nearly 4 points at the beginning, and then gradually smoothed the point difference. In the end, the Lakers still had one point left in the second quarter. Half an hour later, Ye Xuan hit another three-pointer and successfully overtook the score. This is good news for the Lakers, but in the next minute and a half, the Spurs' offense suddenly fell apart. As if he had been shot, David Lee made a three-pointer, Leonard made a three-pointer, and Ginobili made a three-pointer. In one and a half minutes, the Spurs had a total of four shots, and they made three. The three-pointer made the Lakers fall behind again in an instant. Although there was a mid-range shot by Ye Xuan and a layup by Wade in the middle, they still trailed by [-] points at the end of the first half.

59:63, this score is very unsatisfactory for the Lakers, not because they did not do a good job on the offensive end. In fact, although 59 points is not high, it also reached the Lakers' halftime average in the regular season. , but allowed the opponent to score 63 points in the first half, and it is still an offensive team like the Spurs that is not very good at scoring high points. This is a shame for the Lakers. You must know that the Spurs routinely The average score per game is only 101.6 points, which ranks 6th from the bottom in the league. As a result, in front of the Lakers, who have always been proud of their personal defensive ability, they scored 63 points in the halftime, and they were simply beating the Lakers. Face.

During the halftime break, Ye Xuan also expressed his dissatisfaction with the team's defense in the locker room. Of course, this was not to throw the blame, but to remind his teammates that everyone's attention to this game was obviously not enough, so he decided to When this happened, of course, Ye Xuan reprimanded Solomon Hill, a younger brother who was already familiar with Ye Xuan. His poor performance of 8-of-0 shooting in the first half today was simply like the Lakers team. The black hole in the middle, if these eight balls can even be scored two goals, the Lakers are now the leading side, and although he seems to have no problems on the defensive end today, but in double-teaming and double-teaming of inside players. In terms of protection, Solomon Hill did not show the fighting power he should have, so Ye Xuan called Solomon Hill aside after Little Wharton finished arranging tactics, and then taught him a few words.

The second half of the game started quickly. In the third quarter, the Lakers still had some problems on the offensive end. For example, Ye Xuan had to pass the ball when facing the opponent's double-team, but his teammates still wasted. The team's offensive opportunities, such as Gasol and Randle's internal cooperation, were directly disconnected. The two's internal cooperation did not appear once in this game. This is not a good thing for the Lakers' offense. The news, fortunately, the entire Lakers team is not sleepwalking today. Walton Jr. saw that Solomon Hill did not improve after playing for more than four minutes in the second half, so he decisively replaced him. Clarkson was replaced.

Solomon Hill probably also knew that he played very badly in this game, and he looked very frustrated after being replaced, while Walton Jr. was constantly comforting him. After all, this series is more than just the one in front of him. For a game, the Lakers still need Solomon Hill to cheer up as soon as possible.

The game on the court continued. After Clarkson came on the court, the offense of the Lakers did get some improvement. Ye Xuan directly played a tactic to create an offensive opportunity for him in the first round after he was replaced, and Unlike Solomon Hill, Clarkson's autonomous offensive ability is much better than the former, so Solomon Hill can only make fixed-point shots most of the time, while Clarkson can quickly cut inside after receiving a pass, etc. , This round is like this, Clarkson feinted a shot after receiving the ball at the top of the arc, then took two quick steps inward, and then hit the ball with a throw.

The next attack was the cooperation of Ye Xuan and Clarkson again. This time Clarkson didn't choose to break through, but shot directly on the spot. Although the Spurs players who defended him this time had already been blocked in front of him, they were still Let Clarkson hit this shot. After this shot, the Lakers successfully narrowed the point difference to 4 points, and this three-pointer also made the Spurs start to feel a little timid, although they are still in Ye Xuan. After a forced breakthrough, he resolutely chose to double-team, but on the other side he had to worry about Clarkson's cold arrow at this point, so he didn't seem so confident when defending the run tactics.

Naturally, Ye Xuan would not miss this opportunity. He immediately took advantage of the opponent's doubts about the tactics to break through the singles several times in a row, and instantly equalized the score. This is also the first time since the first quarter that the Lakers will The score catches up, but the following will bring huge pressure to the Spurs. They knew it in the last game. Once the Lakers enter their own offensive rhythm, they are likely to be led by their opponents. After leaving, there was no chance of fighting back, so the old man was very witty and immediately called a timeout.

After returning from the timeout, they also immediately adjusted their personnel, replacing Jefferson with Simmons. Although this lineup is short, it will not be at a disadvantage against the Lakers inside. What's more, Simmons' movement speed can support him in a wide range of double-teaming and other actions, which can somewhat help the Spurs relieve some pressure on defense.

However, the gap in offensive points and the gap in the team's physical fitness prevented the Spurs from being able to re-open the score. For the rest of the third quarter, the two teams basically took the lead alternately. This time the Lakers The team will not give the opponent a chance to widen the score again.

At the end of the third quarter, the Lakers were temporarily behind by one point and entered the last quarter. However, at this time, their substitutions and operations have gained certain advantages. First of all, Gasol and Wade, two experienced veterans The physical consumption during the game is not too much, which allows them to play for a long time in the fourth quarter. Secondly, Ye Xuan's playing time at this point did not suddenly soar to more than 40 minutes, because About 9 minutes into the third quarter, the Lakers replaced Ye Xuan to rest, and Felton also made a contribution at this time. In more than 4 minutes of substitute time, he hit a three-pointer And two free throws, at least in terms of offensive firepower, the Lakers did not fall too much because of Ye Xuan's rest.

In the first half of the fourth quarter, Nick Young and Speights also had a good performance. When facing the Spurs substitutes headed by Mills and Ginobili, they did not lose the wind at all, and even Yang Shaoxia staged a halfway It was a good show of 3+1 to play four points. This action and this location reminded Zhuge Weiqi and Parker off the court of the three plus that McGrady hit against Duncan when he was chasing consecutive points in the game. one.

Since then, the main players of the two teams have been replaced one after another. At this time, the generals of the Lakers have gradually recovered their status, especially Randall and Wade, who did not perform very well in the first half of the game. , In the final moment of the decisive battle, first Randall received Ye Xuan's alley-oop pass and dunked directly, scoring two points, and then Wade successfully intercepted Parker's cross pass, which made the Spurs' offense come to nothing. Back, when pushing to counterattack, Randall stood up again, quickly reached the front line of the battlefield, and then received Wade's through ball near the free throw line, followed by two steps and hit the ball again with a dunk.

This time the Spurs fell behind by 4 points, and Mr. Zhuge Weiqi had to call a timeout immediately to adjust the state and mentality of the players on the field.The timeout ended, and the Spurs started to attack from the sideline. This time they chose to let Leonard, the core of the team, play a single. After a few people opened up, Clarkson faced Leonard's back single. What I thought was that Clarkson would actually use the back-up stool to deal with the inside players at this time. As a result, the Spurs made another mistake, and this mistake also gave Ye Xuan a chance to chase a three-pointer and hit a three-pointer. , The Spurs fell behind by seven points in an instant. So far, the Lakers generals have finally eased up. After all, the difficulty of this game is something they did not expect before the game. It is indeed the case. The Lakers this season This journey went so smoothly that they habitually played with the wind. As a result, they were forced to play against the wind when the game started unfavorably. If Ye Xuan hadn't withstood the pressure in this game , then the Spurs may have won this game long ago.

After this three-pointer, the Lakers have basically taken control of the situation. Originally, the Spurs were slowly grinding against the Lakers by relying on a war of attrition. At this time, the physical strength of the Spurs, especially Jefferson The stamina of some veterans such as Parker has dropped to freezing point, and they are all fighting on the court with a sigh of relief. Now they are suddenly hit by two counterattacks by their opponents, and the breath is vented in an instant. After that, the state of the Spurs appeared. The obvious decline, and finally can only watch the Lakers slowly open the score. In the last quarter of the game, the Lakers finally hit a 31:19 counterattack in a single quarter, successfully reversing the score and winning won this match.
