After the first quarter of the game, the Lakers were in very bad shape.

With Kobe and Li Feng on the court, the final score was fixed at 26:17.

Obviously the Lakers performed lower than the Spurs.

Popovich's expression looked worse than that of the Lakers.

He was very dissatisfied with his team's performance in the first quarter.

Spurs players: "..."

The Lakers are obviously lagging behind, but that's the way the head coach of the Spurs is.

He would watch the players' performance on the field. If it did not meet his expectations, the old man would be unhappy.

In the old man's opinion, the Lakers' game rhythm this season has become very complicated.

This makes it more difficult for them to win against their opponents.

So the old man requires his team to be very strict.

Although they can almost crush the Lakers in terms of combat power!

But you still have to be extra careful!

Kobe was not satisfied with the team's and his own performance in the first quarter.

Walton didn't plan to let him play in the second quarter, which also made the Black Mamba angry.

He and Walton talked a lot on the sidelines!

In the end, Walton could only interrupt Kobe and walked directly towards the others.

There is not much time in the first and second quarters of the game.

Walton: "Mozgov goes up! There are Lou Williams and Ingram, and Li Feng continues the game!"

Lan Dou, what are you doing? You won’t end up."

Randall, who thought Zubac would replace him at power forward, immediately turned around and walked back after hearing Walton's words.

Walton now regrets the lineup in the first quarter.

The Lakers sent their best lineup ahead of time, but fell behind the Spurs by 9 points.

The team's morale is not high right now. But we can't just give up.

So now Wharton feels quite embarrassed.

The Spurs sent Mills and Danny Green to play. Yaodao played the third position.

The current situation is that Walton needs to see how hard his team can fight.

If it really doesn't work, then we have to give up tonight's game.

In terms of tactical arrangements, the Lakers still had problems today.

Maybe there's nothing wrong with it, it's just that the Spurs are too strong...

But at this juncture, Walton doesn't think so. He has full confidence in his team!

At the beginning of the game, Li Feng held the ball for half the game. Facing the strong Mills, he immediately switched defenses with Lu Wei.

But in the end he was guarded by Danny Green!

After Randall got the ball, he passed the ball to Ingram, who easily hit a three-pointer against Yaodao's defense!

Popovich was not as serious in this quarter as he was in the first quarter, and the basic framework of the tactics was also laid out.

I was on the bench, sitting and watching the game.

Mills dribbled the ball past halftime, and now the Spurs have begun to gradually revolve around Leonard in terms of overall cooperation.

But in the past few seasons, the relationship between the team and Kawhi has been very tense, so Parker and Ginobili have not retired, and the team is still two groups.

Popovich has known this for a long time, but since he still controls the team, he naturally won't take it too seriously.

In terms of tactics and player development, Popovich is very strong!

Ginobili received the basketball shortly after, but he did not choose to break through when facing Yingge.

Instead, he hit the ball to the ground and passed it to Kawhi. Facing Randall's defense, the latter quickly adjusted his steps and then hit a 2-point jump shot!

Mozgov ran over in small steps and passed the ball to Lu Wei.

Then Mikey took a step and rushed forward.

Whether it is Spurs defender Green or Mills, their defensive capabilities are very good.

Li Feng had no choice but to confront his opponent head-on!

Recently, the orange-level exclusive skill pack in his system will be released!

By then, he will always have orange packs available in the competition arena!

When facing Mills, Li Feng no longer chose to pass the ball this time, but directly broke through!

When the opponent mistakenly thought that Li Feng was going for a layup, he immediately stepped back and shot a three-pointer at his own pace and into the net!

Then Leonard quickly caught the ball and rushed forward, then hit a three-pointer!

Randall's serve was snatched by Xiaoka, and he immediately ran out of the three-point line and jumped up to hit a three-pointer!

Ingram got the ball from his teammate and fouled Ginobili, then made 1 of 2 free throws!

34:24! As soon as the game started, the Spurs firmly controlled the score difference.

The Lakers can only passively bear the Spurs' attack!

When the Spurs players were attacking, what Li Feng was thinking was that if they wanted to win the opponent now, they would have to fight to the death!

The Spurs are a team with high defense and high operation. Facing such a team, the Lakers can only use shooting to suppress their opponents!

When I thought of this, Gasol got the ball and hit Mozgov in a post-up and succeeded!

Li Feng immediately received a pass from his teammate, but was double-teamed by Green and Mills!

In the end, there was no choice but to pass the ball to Lou Williams. The latter also followed Walton's words and ran directly to the three-point line and jumped up!

But Xiaoka felt it in time and immediately rushed towards the backboard after disturbing the ball!

Gasol and Mozgov collided. Yaodao saw his own player get the rebound and immediately took Kawaii's pass and passed Yingge!

Li Feng couldn't guard Ginobili either. Under Lu Wei's fierce pursuit, Mills caught the ball behind him and hit a jumper and hit a three-pointer!

Although Popovich doesn't want his players to shoot more three-pointers, which would destroy the beauty of the game.

But shooting 3-pointers in key games does work...

The Spurs also have some players who specialize in shooting three-pointers.

This time Lu Wei held the ball for half the game, and he saw from the corner of his eye that Li Feng was being double-teamed.

So he directly dribbled the ball across half court, but saw Ginobili and Leonard staring at him...

The Spurs have long thought of this kind of defense, which is to guard the opponent's key players and only leave one person inside.

In the second quarter of the match between Mozgov and Randall, both felt quite panicked.

Because they have almost no effect at the basket.

Gasol and Leonard can always get rebounds early. But they can't keep up.

Not long after, Ingram wanted to attack, but found that there was little chance, so he decisively passed the ball in the direction of Li Feng.

As a result, it was cut off by Ginobili!

Kawhi suddenly rushed over! Ginobili was about to pass the ball to Mills, but Kawhi directly grabbed the ball from Yaodao and rushed to the frontcourt to get up and hit another three-pointer!

Ginobili: "You scared me to death..."

Leonard: "Good cooperation. Aren't you going to pass the ball to me?"

Ginobili: "...That's right..."

Leonard: "I knew we had a connection."

Ginobili: "Well..."

Yaodao was stunned for a moment when Kawaii said, "You obviously stole the basketball directly, okay?"

At this time, Lakers coach Walton signaled for a timeout.

Kobe immediately took off his jacket and walked over.

Walton: "Kobe mainly guards Leonard alone. When it comes to the inside, he mainly focuses on defense. The scoring is left to Kobe and Li Feng."

There is no other way now, Wharton can only do this.

The Lakers played at the Spurs' home court today, and they didn't play well from the beginning.

Zubac immediately ran over and replaced Randall.

So far, the one who is very good at defending under the rebound is Zubac.
