Brush~

Another three-pointer hit, and the score difference between the two sides was only 15 points.

There are 39 seconds left before halftime ends.

The Spurs only scored a measly 2 points in recent minutes, and a 17-2 spurt took shape in an instant.

But Popovich didn't call a timeout because he was still leading by 15 points. At least on the scene, the situation was not obviously out of control.

The San Antonio Spurs are not last year's Oklahoma City Thunder. As a "veteran", there will always be someone who will step on the brakes in critical moments. The Spurs No. 21 holds the ball inside, turns around, and shoots. Tang Qian is naturally ready.

He jumped to block the shot, but the trajectory of this basketball was a bit strange. It actually flew to the ground.

But Tang Qian now, unlike before, reacted quickly, turned around, and faced Manu Ginobili who came in through an air cut. Ginobili forced a layup? Let alone now.

, even at the peak moment, it is difficult to break through the iron wall defense of Lakers No. 29 at this moment. Therefore, he did not choose to shoot, but quickly released the ball, and the basketball flew near the free throw line.

And the person standing there is Tim Duncan.

Duncan quickly retreated after passing the ball, then caught the ball and shot, brush~

The Spurs got a precious 2-pointer.

The score difference became 17 points again.

Duncan's support for this ball was obvious, and the effect was obvious. He disrupted the Lakers' internal defense.

When Tang Qian wanted to move, Manu Ginobili in front of him just delayed it, allowing the Spurs to take the ball calmly on the 21st. The Lakers attacked and handed the ball to Gasol, but I don't know how.

Damn it, Gasol failed to hit Matt Bonner hard, the entire basketball was cut off, and then the Spurs got the last chance to attack.

The Spurs chose a positional battle, and 14 seconds was enough time to complete the positioning of all members, so the entire Lakers team was highly concentrated. It was still left to Tim Duncan who was near the free throw line to provide support. You can see that

The more critical the moment, the more prominent Duncan's status in the team becomes. The role of the core and the soul of the team is sometimes not just an offense, but as the starting point of the offense, it is also a university question.

This is also a high-level basic skill that top insiders must master.

Duncan's support with the ball is of course top-notch, but compared to his...

"Tim passed the ball to Manu, and Manu broke into the paint. Meeks of the Lakers couldn't guard him, but be careful of the Lakers' No. 5 position. The Easterners' defensive strength tonight was explosive!

"The Spurs on-site commentator spoke very quickly: "Oh? Without taking a direct shot, Manu crossed from the bottom line of the basket, and then made a long pass from the bottom line. The basketball flew to the right corner, where stood Ma Nu.

Bonner, this is also one of Bonner’s shooting hotspots!”

Small tactical ball???

Tang Qian reacted instantly and rushed out from the inside and rushed towards the right corner.

In his current state, Tang Qian had a good chance of catching up, but within a few steps, he was... blocked by him.

Blocked? Who blocked me???

Brush~

After a delay, the Spurs' Matt Bonner's shot was taken.

An open three-pointer was made hollow.

There was only 1.4 seconds left in the half for the Lakers.

Duncan looked back at Tang Qian. Although he didn't say anything, his meaning was very clear: Boy, don't think that you can overtake him easily. With me here, it won't be that easy.

The Lakers took a three-point shot from the backcourt, missed the ball, and then landed helplessly.

At the end of the half, the Spurs led the Lakers by 65-45 again by a full 20 points!

"Hey! Oriental guy! It's garbage time again! It's garbage time again!" When Tang Qian walked to the players' tunnel, the "real fan" of the Spurs suddenly shouted arrogantly and proudly.

T.N.T live broadcast room.

"The Lakers fought back, but in the end they were defeated by Duncan and the Spurs. It's a pity. Now it's 20 points again. There's not much suspense left." After Kenny Smith finished speaking, O'Neal

He continued: "This is the gap between hard power and hard power. The hard power of the Lakers and Spurs is too far apart. Losing is almost something that has been decided long ago. I personally am not surprised."

"However, Tong performed well in the first half of this game, with 6 points, 17 rebounds, 6 blocks and 2 assists, 3 of which were blocks, and he directly contributed 3 rebounds + 3 blocks. To be honest, it is

The Lakers lost, and I think this is one of the biggest highlights of this series." Reggie Miller said: "If the Lakers want to keep him next season, prepare for an annual salary of tens of millions. I think

This is not excessive, because even if his performance is very inconsistent, it is worth the price."

"Charles, is there anything else you want to say?"

Barkley didn't say anything, but he felt a lot wilted, and he no longer seemed optimistic about the current situation of the Lakers.

After all, the Spurs are the Spurs, a strong team for nearly 20 years, and a strong contender for this year's championship. When they really get serious, the Lakers can't resist. This is not a problem of one person, this is one team and another team

The problem.

Basketball...is still for five people after all, isn't it?

At the beginning of the second half, Tang Qian looked at Duncan, with strong sparks in his eyes. He didn't think that in his current state, he could not suppress the old Duncan. The Lakers missed the attack, Tang Qian grabbed the rebound, and the basket

He got up strong and caused a personal defensive foul on Tim Duncan. This was also Duncan's second personal foul in this game.

Free throws...of course there is no guarantee of hit rate, because neither "demigod" or "wrath" has any blessing effect on free throws.

Made 1 of 2 free throws and the Lakers scored 1 point.

65-46, the Lakers trailed by 19 points.

The Spurs continue to execute small tactics. Compared with the big tactical rotations and complex movements of 4 to 5 people, small tactics can usually be handled by 2 to 3 people. Moreover, the energy and physical consumption of the players is much less when executed.

Execution of big tactics. As mentioned before, tactical balls are extremely consuming of physical energy, especially complex big tactics. Even the Spurs cannot play like this for 48 points per ball. It is difficult for people to support their energy and physical strength.

When regular offense and singles play are unfavorable, small tactical offense and defense is a relatively compromise method.

But when it comes to small tactics, it is not as easy to execute as simple movement. For example, the Spurs run these mid-to-high posts to intersperse the ball with screens. It looks good, but if you really want to execute it well and show your power,

The person who is the supporter and the pivot is particularly critical. If this person does not grasp the situation well, then the whole set of tactics will be ineffective, all previous efforts will be wasted, and the players' energy and physical strength will be wasted.

Many people mistakenly think that support ability and pivot ability are equal to direct assist or passing ability.

Indeed, assists and passing ability must be taken into account, but this is not all support and support. When it comes to support ability alone, there are two categories: support with the ball and support without the ball. For example, Gasol of the Lakers is

A type with outstanding support with the ball, but Duncan is a pass-killer. Looking at a game, you will see why the Spurs' offense is simple and efficient. A large part of it is because of Duncan, a top expert in off-ball support.

He can make the Spurs' offense simple and concise, and complete fatal attacks from the opponent's weak points.

This is the reason why Duncan and Garnett will become the core defensive core of any team even if they are not the main attacker. Because this ability is so important, the improvement of personal data is insignificant, but for the team

The overall improvement is no less than a collective rebirth. And this is what Van Gundy said, Dwight Howard is not as good as Duncan in terms of defense.

Compared with his hard defense ability, Howard's support ability is so far behind that it's simply appalling.

In the first few games of the series, the Spurs underestimated their opponents, thinking that they could easily sweep the Lakers with only 50% to 60% of their strength. However, starting from the last game, the pressure of elimination made them completely sober. Duncan's "Devil Attributes"

", began to gradually recover.

This made the Spurs' offense suddenly sharp and sharp, completely different from the previous games.

Tang Qian was stabbed in the back again. Spurs Parker scored a layup. Duncan's super off-ball support made Tang Qian understand even more why he is the number one PF man in history and why he can rely on someone who is not outstanding.

His physical fitness has led him to dominate the basketball world for 20 years. This is definitely not an accident. His personal ability has long been at the level of proficiency.

The personal abilities mentioned here are not only offensive and defensive abilities, but also the most important point, the ability to understand the game and read the game. This is also an area that Tang Qian has no in-depth contact with at the moment.

67-46, the Lakers dribbled the ball, but were intercepted by Tony Parker. Since it was just past halftime, Tang Qian returned to defense in time and restrained the Spurs from scoring in this sports battle. However, in the position battle, Duncan caused

He received a defensive foul from Pau Gasol and made 2 of 2 free throws, allowing the Spurs to score another 2 points.

69-46.

"Boy, have you thought about it? The Holy City welcomes you~" After Spurs No. 21 made the second free throw, he grinned at Lakers No. 29. This made Tang Qian's expression suddenly sink.

In the Lakers' offensive round, the outside shot still missed, and Tang Qian collected the rebound again. I have to say that the Spurs' lineup's rebound protection ability is really poor. Except for Duncan, even one rebound per game averaged more than 4

There are no + people.

If you want to fight against the current Tang Qian, there is no 1% chance of winning, and there is no 1% chance of winning.

Tang Qian took action, and Duncan also extended his hand, and relying on years of game experience, Duncan's right hand was accurate and touched the basketball in the former's hand. It looked like he was going to block a shot? No, Tang Qian did not let him succeed, but instead

The whole person forcibly bumped into the latter, and then used his rage to violently break away from the right hand of Spurs No. 21 and throw the basketball randomly.

It doesn't matter whether the basketball goes in or not. His goal is to have strong body contact and arm contact with Duncan.

Just like Duncan did to Gasol just now.

The referee blew the whistle and awarded Spurs No. 21 his third personal foul of the game.

Popovich saw the purpose of Lakers No. 29 off the court, but he did not call a timeout because Spurs No. 21 had no intention of leaving the game. Duncan looked at the former and said: "Little guy, how fast you learn.

It’s not slow, but do you think you can still succeed next time?”

Tang Qian didn't answer, but just walked to the free throw line and shot a free throw. Unfortunately, he made 0 of 2 free throws, and the basketball became the Spurs' possession.

"Haha~ Oriental guy~ 0 out of 2 free throws is equal to an offensive error~ Thank you for being so generous~ With you in your team, it will be difficult not to lose!!!" The "real fan" in the front row took the opportunity to shout again

He yelled that this is also a kind of court culture in the NBA playoffs. In order to interfere with Bird's free throws, some fans from the opposing team even "seduced" him by placing multiple life-size "sexy girl pictures" under the basket.

.Relatively speaking, using interference sticks and verbal teasing are relatively normal behaviors.

Anyway, according to NBA regulations, as long as you don't enter the court, you can interfere in any way you want off the court.
