Chapter 221 Lakers VS Spurs G1!(2/2)
However, due to his different personality from Kobe, and the fact that San Antonio has always advocated team basketball, his exposure has not been high. His number of fans around the world is not on the same level as Kobe's, but he still has many die-hard fans.
Fans who like Duncan often call him stupid. These fans tend to have low-key and humble personalities.
The Spurs have undoubtedly been the most successful team in the NBA since the new century. They have not missed the playoffs for many years.
This also allowed the Spurs to accumulate a large number of loyal fans.
And as the playoffs become more and more intense, the number of viewers watching the live broadcasts of the Lakers and Spurs will only increase.
"After waiting for several days, the Lakers' second-round game finally started! I'm in tears!"
"The Lakers have already created a miracle in the first round! If they beat the Spurs again, they will become gods!"
"Lin Tianchong! He defeated the Thunder! Why are you afraid of the Spurs!"
"I've been a Spurs fan for 20 years, but I'm rooting for the Lakers tonight!"
"As long as you support the Lakers! We are good friends!"
The support rate next to the live broadcast interface shows that for this game, the Lakers' support rate is 95%, while the Spurs' support rate is only 5%.
This is very different from the support rating the Spurs had in their last game against the Mavericks.
…
After the warm-up, the starting players from both sides took off their warm-up clothes and returned to the court.
The home Spurs' starters today are: Tony Parker, Danny Green, Kawhi Leonard, LaMarcus Aldridge, and Tim Duncan.
The starting lineup for the Lakers in the away game is: Nick Young, Kobe Bryant, Lin Tian, PJ Tucker, Howard.
At the beginning of the game, Howard and Duncan competed for a jump ball, and the ball was snatched by the Lakers without much suspense.
Lin Tian directed his teammates' movements while dribbling the ball across half the court.
When he reached the top of the arc, he stopped and Leonard stood in front of him.
The biggest difference between Leonard and other players is his big hands.
Even in an NBA filled with weirdos, his big hands still look unique.
It can be said that a large part of the reason why he can become the best defensive basketball player in the world today is because of his hands.
No player will be wary of Leonard's death coil when facing him, including Lin Tian.
Lin Tian did not rush to break through, but quietly waited for his teammates to get into position.
Tucker has attracted Aldridge to the outside, and only Howard and Duncan are stuck inside.
Kobe is also on the wing ready to catch the ball.
Facing Leonard, Lin Tianlai changed direction in front of him, but he did not shake Leonard, who was experienced in defense.
He could only bite the bullet and force a breakthrough inside.
Leonard defended very well and never lost his position.
When Lin Tian suddenly reached the free throw line, Leonard stretched out his hand, and the ball almost escaped with his huge palm, which shocked Lin Tian into a cold sweat.
But it was this time that Lin Tian had a good shot.
He simply took advantage of the situation and made a sudden stop. After collecting the ball, he quickly took off and made a sudden stop jump shot.
The ball accurately hit the basket and became the first goal of this series.
The Spurs serve quickly and the 1.88-meter French sports car Tony Parker controls the ball.
Tony Parker is the P in GDP. The reason why he has such a nickname comes from the names of three of their players.
Nick Young is much higher than Tony Parker, but he doesn't dare to underestimate the No. 1 point guard in the history of the Spurs.
Tony Parker's physical talent has never been top-notch, and coupled with his age, his condition has continued to decline in the past two years.
Facing Nick Young, he just feinted and broke through directly.
Nick Young saw through such a simple offensive method at a glance and followed up in time.
When Tony Parker rushed inside, he made another fake shot and passed the ball to Danny Green on the outside.
After Danny Green received the ball, he shot a three-pointer against Kobe's defense.
Whoosh!
The three-pointer hit directly ignited the entire audience.
Danny Green's three-point shooting percentage exceeded 40% for five seasons in his career. He can be said to be one of the most typical 3D players in the NBA.
Although he was called Tielin by fans because he often hit three-pointers in the past, fans who know him know that his three-pointers are not iron-clad.
The Spurs have never been a team that likes to shoot three-pointers, and their head coach even publicly criticized three-pointers for ruining the NBA.
Their number of three-pointers this season is one of the fewest in the league. However, their three-point shooting percentage has reached 37.5%, ranking second! Second only to the Warriors!
