The Lakers and Spurs game started at 7:30 p.m., which is a focus battle for live broadcasts across the United States.

The season has just begun, and the strong teams have not yet started fighting each other, and the situation is not very clear for the time being.

The two old opponents, the Lakers and Spurs, can be regarded as the most eye-catching game in two weeks.

The Spurs' starting lineup, center Split, power forward Tim Duncan, small forward Kawyne Leonard, shooting guard Danny Green, point guard Tony Parker.

The Lakers' starting lineup has slightly changed from the previous games, and the four-star team will not move, and the starting point guard has become Chris Du Hong.

Blake is temporarily absent from this game due to foot injury. Anyway, his defense and three-pointers made Brown unsatisfied, so just take a break.

Li Liang was still sitting next to Mike Brown as usual, holding his chin waiting for the game to begin.

Steve Nash was wearing a brown-green plaid suit and watched from the wall. His knee injury recovered quickly and had already begun simple recovery training.

The team will put Nash on the injury watch list next week, and Nash can return to the arena if needed.

The Lakers have a big problem in the position of point guards. Morris, Blake, and Du Hong are all embarrassed and useless.

Howard jumped in the middle circle with Split, and the match between the two sides began.

People are almost unable to remember how many matches this is between Duncan's Spurs and Kobe's Lakers.

Every time the two meet, different sparks will be created, and Kobe has special experience every time he plays the Spurs.

He was once a Spurs killer. Among the several matchups in the playoffs, only in 2003, the Lakers lost completely.

Several other times, Kobe used his super strong performance to make Popovich grab his hair in anger.

There is no way, Kobe is indeed very restrained in his playing style, such a scientific and reasonable defensive style.

The Lakers were the first to compete for the ball, and Kobe got the ball. He did not attack, but chose to pass the ball to Howard, who was inside.

You still have to do it at the beginning. If Howard plays, you will continue to play. If you can't play, you won't play. If you can't play, you won't play.

Duncan is playing against Howard in the inside. Duncan could even defend O'Neal back then, could he be afraid of you Howard?

Howard received the ball and took the Sigma step, and before he could squeeze in the three big steps, the ball was exposed and cut off by Duncan!

The first goal of the game, Howard made a mistake, which was not a good sign.

In the last game, Li Liang fed Howard very comfortably on the outside, but it could not change the fact that his offensive end had declined significantly.

The Spurs counterattacked, Tony Parker took the ball and rushed to the basket.

If Duncan became the absolute core of the team's offense after he came to the Spurs in 1997, then by 2005, Ginobili stood up and became the center of the offensive end in the outside world.

By 2007, the younger Tony Parker began to play a more important role.

The Spurs are doing an orderly and unchallenged in the iteration of the tactical core.

Since last season, Tony Parker has been the team's first starting point for offense.

The Spurs' two forwards, Leonard and Danny Green, are both defensive forwards, so the team's first attacker to quickly counterattack is Tony Parker.

The French sports car was extremely fast. After rushing to the basket, Gasol and Ci Shiping followed suit to make up for defense.

Parker circled the baseline and passed the ball to Split who followed him. Split easily made a layup and won the first goal of the game.

Immediately afterwards, the Lakers missed the offensive end, Duncan won the backcourt rebound, and Parker rushed to the frontcourt with the ball.

As a point guard, Parker's goal number at the basket has always been high in the league's top, relying on his speed and superb dribbling skills.

Once he rushed, the Lakers' defensive formation became chaotic, and the Spurs could win in chaos and look for opportunities.

The Spurs had two guns on the outside, one Danny Green and the other Leonard.

Duncan now mentions more about supporting and passing the ball at a high position.

Parker passed the ball to Duncan at the high position, and Danny Green followed, received a pass from Duncan 45 degrees on the right, and made a three-pointer!

Popovich has always said that he hates three-pointers, but the Spurs have never missed three-pointers, and more and more.

"Swish!"

A three-pointer hit, Danny Green hit the first three-pointer.

The Lakers still insist on playing inside, and Howard received the ball from a deeper position on the left this time.

This time he did not dribble in front of the basket, but used a small fake technique to shake the shoulders, and then hit the ball with his right hand hooked.

"You are beautiful! Fantastic footsteps! You are the best! The first center!"

Li Liang followed Thackeray to the towel duo off the court, complimenting Howard so loudly.

The Spurs turned around and Duncan returned one at the low post. After receiving the ball, he quickly started, broke into the inside line in front of the basket, and scored a throw-in with his left hand.

The Spurs' offense is rhythmic and layered, orderly and unchaotic at all.

The feeling is that they will not make mistakes. If you want to beat us, come on and fight seriously.

The Lakers made a mistake again, and Kobe still wanted to lob the ball into the inside, and this time he wanted to hang Gasol.

As a result, Split saw through, the ball was knocked out, and the Spurs turned around and fought back.

The Spurs played a screening tactic on the left side, and Leonard moved from the baseline to the bottom line, blocking the defender with the help of Duncan's cover, and then received a pass from Parker and hit a three-pointer in the bottom corner!

It was 10:2, Mike Brown called a timeout, and the team had a problem with the opening condition.

After several games, the Lakers always play poorly at the start, especially when they want to open from the inside.

Howard's offense is too inefficient and has no way to create the proper connection with the outside. If the inside and outside cannot be combined, the offense will be particularly fragmented.

Gasol had the same problem. In the past, those beautiful high and low post support were less and less passes behind the back and inside the high post.

Now he has been pulled to high positions to shoot, or simply to play hard inside, and his organization's talent has been buried.

When Brown called for a timeout, not only did Li Liang say what he once said pass through his mind, "Let Paul Gasol play the substitute..."

Thinking about it now, this kid is really right, but as an NBA head coach, how can I follow the command of a second round pick?

Besides, the team has been winning, and Brown has no reason to put Gasol on the bench at the moment.

During the timeout, Brown asked the team to shift the offensive center of gravity, increase the offensive rate, and reduce unnecessary passes.

Of course, Brown's words are very obscure, meaning that some passes are unnecessary, and you still have to play success rate and don't deliberately feed the ball to the inside.

The external messengers led by Kobe have not had good results in several times, so he still has to start fighting from him.

Li Liang was on the side and said to Kobe: "Boss, you play by yourself. Teams like the Spurs have played so many times. The most feared is that you are a mid-range shot. You pass the pass, you pass the yarn! You just shoot it yourself! You can't pass the ball, you have to do what you are good at. You see that you made a mistake in passing the ball, Paul will take the blame for you."

Mike Brown and other assistant coaches were frightened by Li Liang's words. How did you talk to Kobe? Are you as straightforward as you?

There is no way, Li Liang has a hair dryer and can do whatever he wants, and what he said makes sense.

The superstars of NBA are often spoiled, with strong abilities, high salaries, and many fans are popular. From bosses to managers to coaches to teammates to fans, they are all coaxing him to deceive him. If there are any mistakes or problems, they don’t just say them, but tell him in a circle.

From the start of the season to now, some changes Kobe has made are indeed obvious. More organizations, passes, and are more selfless and effective.

So he has been praised by many people, believing that Kobe is changing and becoming greater.

But he is not very good at controlling this level. The Lakers are a team that lacks the ability to hold balls on the outside, especially after the absence of Nash, there is no decent ball-holder attacker.

So, sometimes the Lakers need Kobe to take the ball and do it alone, so he needs Bangbang to take action.

A stylist coach like Brown naturally dared not say it. When he was in the Cavaliers, everyone watched the video together. James made up for the defense and Brown didn't say anything. As a result, there was a problem with another ordinary player's defense, so Brown criticized it.

At that time, West of the Cavaliers could not stand it anymore and told Brown that you should be fair and just, rather than favoring some people.

When Brown came to the Lakers, he still did this. There was no way. The head coach was essentially a job and was just making a living. He knew his position in the team.

Li Liang is different. He has something to say, but the Spurs saw through all the things that Kobe passed on the opening game.

The Lakers bench suddenly became a little quiet, and Kobe pouted, expressionless.

He was not angry. It was not the first time Bruce Lee was like this. He was a little used to it as he talked about it.

And what Bruce Lee said seems to make sense. Damn, a team like the Spurs, such as defense, Split and Duncan in the interior, it would be difficult to play if it was O'Neal, let alone Howard?

OK, I don’t care, I’ll do it myself!

Kobe made up his mind to increase his offense next.

On the bench of the Spurs on the other side, Spurs' head coach Popovich subconsciously looked here. He was experienced and seemed to have expected the Lakers' next strategy.
Chapter completed!
