The Pope of Basketball Community

Yang Rui made a very timely substitution. If Hoiberg is allowed to defend for a few more rounds, Ginobili is likely to lead the team to recover the score, at least not allowing the point difference to continue to widen.

After Iguodala came on the court, he spared no effort to defend Ginobili and constantly confronted him, making it difficult for him to catch the ball.

In the future, Iguodala will be called "real thighs" and "poor man's version of James". His physical fitness is among the best in the league, and it will be difficult for Ginobili to get rid of him without relying on screens.

Duncan covered, and Iguodala switched to guard Duncan and continued to stay close. Yao Ming and Odom blocked the defender from breaking through near the penalty area. Popovich didn't arrange for Muhammad to cover, so he just stayed on the baseline and cut to the basket at any time. He could catch the ball and miss it. If a person like him who misses the shot goes out to cover, he will cheat his own people.

Ginobili is no longer as cool and comfortable as he was in the previous games under tight protection. Even though he still has a cape, his head is just a little thinner, which is hard to detect.

In the second half, the Spurs couldn't find a feeling on the outside. Odom went down to rest for 5 minutes. Diaw came on to ensure the intensity of defense on the outside. All five of the Spurs' three-point shots missed the basket. Duncan was defended by Yao Ming. The performance was also poor, only 2 points.

The Lakers are determined to beat Kobe, and their offense is smoother.

In the quarter, Kobe scored 18 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists. Yao Ming scored 7 points and 5 rebounds. The Lakers led 32 to 16. This was the largest point difference in a single quarter in the series.

In the second quarter, the Lakers' offense was led by Mo Williams, and the other four were Iguodala, Diaw, Odom, and Rasheed.

If there is a reborn person like Yang Rui, his blood will definitely boil when he sees the Lakers lineup.

What the hell is this a substitute? If these five people are all at their peak, with a few pitchers and role players, they can definitely win the championship.

Of course, they can't beat most championship teams because they lack superstars. If you meet the 2007 Cavaliers, you can definitely give it a try, even if someone on the other side can take four steps for a layup.

The Spurs' five substitutes: Tinsley, Ginobili, Robinson, Malone, and Nesterovich, remain unchanged from the previous games.

The Lakers' tactic is that Diaw organizes the forwards in the middle, and the two inside players cover the defenders on both sides. The defenders catch the ball and shoot, or attract the inside players to switch defenses and break through, and distribute the ball to the inside players who are cutting in the air.

Iguodala finally showed his power, playing the Hawks' offensive style, cutting inside, relying on his body to hit the basket after receiving the pass from Diaw. The Spurs' two substitutes were not quick to switch defenses inside.

When Mo Williams looks for cover, he runs along the three-point line. If the defense changes slowly, he will throw a three-pointer after catching the ball. If the defense changes quickly, he will distance himself and break through with the ball.

Yang Rui's tactics in the first four games were not so comprehensive. Although he has studied the Spurs lineup, in actual operation, the players have to find a feel on the court. Today he ran tactics around two newcomers, Mo Williams and Iguodala, catching the Spurs off guard.

The Lakers' tactics have been adjusted, but the Spurs' defense has remained unchanged. The same people are still on the bench, how can they not suffer a loss? The mobility of the two insiders alone is worse than that of the Lakers.

Popovich realized that this was not going to work, so he brought back Duncan in advance and replaced the old Malone who was slow on his feet, but the team was already 23 points behind.

Six minutes later, Yang Rui replaced Diaw and replaced Kobe. The other four continued to play, man-to-man defense, and strictly guarded against outside breakthroughs. This is what the Spurs are good at, and the Lakers will do the same.

Rebirth has given Yang Rui an extraordinary vision. Not only does he know that player has potential and is worth cultivating, he also has many offensive and defensive tactics that people don't know about that he can learn from.

His style of play today is based on the tactics used by the Nets vs. Spurs in the 2003 Finals. The Nets' defense was very solid in that series. Although they lost the game 2-4, they didn't lose much in each game and had a chance to win. The most important thing about their defense is to defend Duncan alone and prevent three-pointers.

Duncan's statistics in that series were very good, and he scored a near-quadruple-double in the last game, but the team's overall score was not very high. The Nets mainly lost because of their poor offense. The team's best offensive players are Kidd and Kenyon Martin. This is really a tragedy.

While the Lakers defended solidly, Kobe Bryant was able to challenge one-on-one, and his ability to evacuate from the inside completely overwhelmed Martin and Collins.

At halftime, the Lakers led 66 to 38 by 28 points.

In the third quarter, Yao Ming, who had rested for a whole quarter, returned to the court. He led four small players, Diaw played as a guest at the 4th position, and Kobe, Ariza, and Jones were on the outside.

Ariza hadn't played in the previous minute. He came out for defense at this time, pestering Ginobili like Iguodala did, using the method of preventing the ball and constantly looking for confrontation.

This defensive method consumes energy. The Lakers have many excellent swingmen, but both of them are exhausted. Diaw can also play small forward. Yang Rui doesn't need Kobe to defend Ginobili, so he can focus on the offensive end.

In this quarter, the Spurs relied on the performance of the GDP combination to chase the point difference to 18 points entering the fourth quarter, retaining the hope of winning.

However, Ginobili had physical problems in the final quarter and his scoring efficiency dropped. He only entered the nba at the age of 25. Physical fitness is an important reason that limits him from becoming a giant. No giant averages less than 30 minutes per game.

Muhammad also came off the court to rest for a while, and the Spurs' defensive system collapsed.

To be precise, the person who collapsed was Malone. He suffered a knee injury during the regular season and played in many games in the playoffs. His performance was not bad, but in this series, he averaged 27 minutes per game, which was substandard.

Popovich reused Malone and it was a helpless move to not use Nesterovich.

Nesterovic is a conscientious and unpretentious player, a strong, fearless and stable meat center center. On the offensive end, he has solid cover, accurate half-volleys and hook skills, but he is not good at guarding the pick-and-roll, so he will not be of much use in the playoffs.

Malone is experienced, but has reached his limit and cannot keep up with the defensive defenders.

Kobe didn't have the habit of respecting the old and caring for the young. He could even take his own mother to court. In the final quarter, he would attack whichever side Malone was on, and he cooperated very actively with his teammates. "Come here for a pick-and-roll, I want to duel with Malone!"

Malone is far away, and Kobe makes a jump shot when he is close. If Bowen pursues the defense, Kobe attracts double-teams and distributes the ball, and Rasheed will get an open shot.

Rashid also practiced extra three-pointers in the morning, and he did not disappoint. He hit two in a row, and he and Kobe widened the point difference to 30 points in one breath, entering garbage time.

Staples Center turned into a sea of ​​joy.

Yang Rui replaced all the stars after 5 minutes and sent in the combination of Mo Williams, Ariza, Walton, Diaw, and Diop. The offense can no longer be attacked, but the defensive intensity is still there, especially Diop is also a master of defending the penalty area.

Yang Rui's plan is to let the core conserve energy, strive to win at the Spurs' home court, and end the battle in 6 games.

Popovich saw what Yang Rui was thinking and replaced all the main players. It would be foolish to leave the main players on the court just to lose less in a game you know you can't win.

After Popovich saw Malone's situation, it was clear that the balance of victory had begun to tilt toward the Lakers. The Lakers' tactics in the first half gave him a headache, especially in the second quarter. If he wants to withstand it, Duncan will have to increase his playing time.

Kobe played only 35 minutes and scored 39 points, 3 rebounds and 6 assists. Yao Ming played 29 minutes. He didn't take many shots and had a high shooting percentage. He made 7 of 10 shots, 1 of 2 three-pointers, and 2 of 2 free throws. He scored 17 points and 8 rebounds.

At the end of the game, 118-85, the Lakers won by 33 points and gained the match point.
