The scores of both sides rose alternately in the last quarter, and they could not defend against each other. The Lakers rely on Guo Xu to attract double-teams to drive the entire team, while the Spurs rely on the inside double towers and Leonard.

In the second half, the commentators praised Paul Gasol. At the age of 36, he is still very efficient, can play singles and support offense, and is also the most stable performance in the Spurs' inside line on the defensive end.

In the past, people always said that No. 21 rookie, but Duncan, who is 40 years old this year, is really old. His shooting percentage has dropped sharply. This year's playoff shooting percentage is only 42%, scoring 5.5 points. Last year, he averaged 18+11 per game. He averaged 2 points in the first round of this year and 0 points in one game. He can't joke about pretending to be dead in the regular season.

On the defensive end, Duncan's movement speed is too slow. Guo Xu can fight positional battles when he is resting. Guo Xu launches running and bombing, so he is not suitable for appearance.

The Spurs' overall speed is not as fast as the Lakers, and the star's ability is not as good as Guo Xu. The Lakers themselves have exposed two weaknesses to be able to hold on to the score.

The biggest weakness is that the center is poor defense, Nurkic is too slow, Horford is thin and plays power forward, and Thackeray is more suitable to throw towels on the sidelines in the playoffs, and Bonner has not made it to the playoffs roster.

After the end of this season, Thackeray is a free agent, and the Lakers management cannot renew his contract with him. His strength can be a fringeman in the regular season, and his offensive end can't keep up with the rhythm when playing in the playoffs.

This summer, the Lakers' center position must be changed a lot. Even if they don't trade, only Nurkic will be left.

The second weakness is that the Lakers have too many young players and their condition is unstable. Booker, Josh Richardson, Seth Curry, and Harrell are all prone to make mistakes. Nurkic, who played star data this year, is only the second season of his career.

The strength of most teams in the regular season cannot be compared with the Lakers. Guo Xu has racked his brains when defending the defense. Young players play with the wind and bear few responsibilities and perform well. They have to give Guo Xu more support to enter the playoffs, and they are a little uncomfortable after the intensity of the confrontation is improved.

Especially Curry, Richardson, who is light in weight and poor in the confrontation, can only be responsible for throwing three points. The defensive end is easily targeted by the opponent and attacking them hard. The coaching staff has no good adjustment method, so they can only reduce their playing time.

Under the leadership of **Vic, the Spurs are particularly good at attacking the opponent's weaknesses. When Bao Wen was there, he could even stretch out his feet to put out one of them without weaknesses...

In short, the competition in the West is very fierce. Even if Guo Xu leads the team, he cannot easily beat the Spurs in the second round. The score has been stalemate until the last two minutes, and the two sides tied 113.

Guo Xu has scored 43 points, 11 assists and 2 steals, making him the best player in this game. The Spurs can be regarded as a success in his defense, and the role player's performance is average, wasting a lot of Guo Xu's passes.

The Lakers have no reservations. Horford has played 37 minutes today, which is much beyond his average playing time. Boozer, the defensive black hole at No. 4, and Harrell, who lacks experience, cannot play. Harrell played for 5 minutes in the second quarter and only scored 2 points.

For Lakers' ball rights, Tyrone Lu called for a timeout to arrange tactics, requiring the players to help Guo Xu create mobile phone calls, and he will shoot all the balls. At this time, star tactics are the best tactics.

At the critical moment, Tyronlu sent Robertson and Tucker, and the Lakers could not relax their defense.

Tucker has played for 35 minutes. He has only played for 5 seasons in the NBA, but this year he is 31 years old and has performed very steadily.

Veteran Carter was also sent to the court at the last moment, and Booker was on the bench, which was the coaching staff's trust in the veterans.

The center is Horford, and Tyrone Lu is still mainly using unlimited defense replacements, leaving only one person in the interior. This actually led the opponent to attack the penalty area and scored two points.

The tnt narrator talked about the core of the two teams. Smith said: "Jason always smiled and didn't seem to be panicked at all. I'm optimistic that the Lakers will have a good start and rarely disappoint when competing for their personal abilities in the final quarter."

Barkley analyzed: "I think the Spurs still have to rely on the overall situation. They lack a super scorer who can fight everyone alone. Robertson came up, and it was not a good idea to let Leonard play singles at this time."

Guo Xu is in a stable mood now, he doesn't feel too much pressure, nor has any special ideas. He just plans to use his skills and experience to deal with it, and has absolute confidence in his personal abilities.

The Spurs also have a player who is completely unhappy, that is Leonard. He still has no expression on his face until the end of the game.

When discussing Leonard online, fans thought that the core of the Spurs should be like this, and no one is more suitable to be Duncan's successor than him. In fact, he is different from Duncan. Duncan has facial paralysis most of the time, but occasionally his expression is particularly rich and he contributes various emoticons.

The game continued, the Lakers attacked first, and Guo Xu was double-teamed as soon as he passed the ball to Horford who was pulled to the outside line. Leonard rotated to make up for defense, and Horford passed the ball to Carter in the open position on the left bottom corner.

Carter had just started playing, but the Spurs players did not dare to empty him. Gasol saved to defend a three-pointer. Carter swung a shot and passed the ball to the basket. Robertson cut from the right side to the basket, and the empty space was backwards and the basketball was entered. 115 to 113.

This time, the cooperation did not follow the tactical tactics arranged by Taylon Lu, but Guo Xu excitedly gave his teammates a few hands.

If you are outside, the king will not accept the order.

Carter's choice this round was very correct and played the role of veteran's experience. Robertson played well, and he had no range and could still score when he entered the basket.

The Spurs attacked and handed the ball to Ad, because the person who defended him was Tucker, which seemed to be an obvious misalignment.

Tucker kept close to him, making it impossible for Ade to easily catch the ball in the face. After he received the ball from behind, Tucker tried to push him away from the penalty area as much as possible.

How hard is Tucker? He is not afraid of his opponent who is taller than him. His legs do not retreat like a nail to the ground. He has never won a big contract because he is short, but his defensive ability is seriously underestimated.

Ade turned around and jumped from a distance from the basket. Tucker followed him to fight closely, disrupting the shooting rhythm, and the ball was off. The intensity of the playoffs increased, and Tucker was so shorter, so the referee could not make a defensive foul just because he leaned in his arms.

Ade has a flaw. His career playoff performance is inferior to the regular season, with a shooting percentage of only 45%. He is probably one of the softest inside players in the league, and his shooting percentage will drop when he encounters confrontation.

Robertson grabbed the backcourt rebound and passed it to Carter, and Carter passed it to Guo Xu. At this time, the point guard on the Spurs was Mills, who was 183cm tall, and was pushed away by Guo Xu.

Guo Xu took the ball and turned to a single fast break, making an easy layup before Green made a comeback. 117 to 113.

**Vicci doesn't use Parker because he can no longer run and is easily empty outside the three-point line. Mills is better at shooting three-pointers and is very fast, but his ability to confrontation is average. When counterattacking, Guo Xu does not use the "Iron Mountain Behind" when he is stuck, the referee will not call a foul.

The Spurs attacked, and after passing it twice, Leonard gave Ade another lob to Ade and attacked the inside. This round, Ade looked tough and deeply entered the penalty area. If he didn't want to attack for three seconds at this moment, the ball had to be passed to him as soon as possible.

As a result, as soon as Leonard's ball was shot, Tucker quickly completed the rounding. Ade, who was squeezed with his back, couldn't jump up, so he jumped up with one hand and transferred the ball to Robertson, who was closer.

Robertson made a pass to look for Guo Xu, but Mills didn't dare to be close to him, for fear of being easily pushed away. Guo Xu made a single fast attack, and suddenly stopped two meters outside the three-point line on the right side and shot three-pointers, facing Mills.
