When the Spurs attack, the players pass back and forth on the perimeter, looking for opportunities in a leisurely manner.

Muhammad was responsible for the pick-and-roll in the middle. Parker broke through with the ball, attracted Rasheed's defense and passed to Duncan on the right.

Duncan was far away from the basket. He held the ball with both hands at a 45-degree angle and feinted. Yao Ming came out to interfere with the shot. Duncan changed direction and broke through from the baseline. He passed Yao Ming and went to the basket, attracting Rasheed to cover up. The ball was sent from the opponent's side to the left. Muhammad received the ball in an open position, jumped up and dunked with one hand. 0 to 4.

Blue Collar scored 4 points in a row in the opening game, and the Spurs' offense took an unusual path.

When the Lakers attacked, the "drug combination" played a pick-and-roll in the middle. Duncan used the same defensive method. He blocked Kobe first, so that he could not easily break through and could only jump. As soon as Bowen caught up, Duncan moved to the middle to block Yao Ming. Break the route, or stay away to interfere with shots.

In the first two rounds, Garnett and O'Neal would defend like this, but the effect was not as good.

Garnett can't guard against Yao Ming's strong attack and has poor confrontation ability; O'Neal does not have Duncan's sense of defensive distance.

When switching defenders on the inside, taking one more step may expose a flaw. The Spurs have no such obvious flaws on the defensive end. Therefore, Bowen and Duncan are both regulars in the best defensive team. They have a tacit understanding on the defensive end.

Yao Ming felt a little uncomfortable holding the ball in front of Duncan and couldn't shoot.

Now Duncan is still at his peak, his body is superior to others, and he has an abnormal wingspan of 230cm. Shooting in front of him will definitely be interfered with. What Duncan hates most is Stoudemire's type of insider. He cuts very fast after the pick-and-roll, leaving him too late to get stuck on the cutting route. Yao Ming lacks that kind of mobility.

No star in the league is perfect. One thing is better than another. Yao Ming is not easy to play against Duncan.

Mohamed ran to catch the ball from the side and was blocked by Muhammad. He passed the ball to Rashid. The latter squeezed Parker and took the ball to the basket. Seeing Duncan retreating to cover, he distributed the ball to Yao Ming in the middle. As a result, Bowen suddenly came from the side. Fight out and cut off the basketball.

Bowen's physical fitness has declined slightly compared to when he was in the Knicks, and his defensive predictions are getting better and better.

Ginobili rushed out from the left side, received a pass from Bowen, and started a solo fast break.

Iguodala quickly returned to defense. Ginobili pulled the ball near the free throw line, took a step to the left first, approached Iguodala, quickly changed direction to the right while running, and twisted his body to run away from the opponent. He passed by, jumped up and picked up the basketball with his low hand. 0 to 6.

Against the Spurs, Yang Rui was not so relaxed on the sidelines. He did not carry a bag of snacks to eat on the sidelines, thinking about how to better suppress the Spurs.

In the opening period, Popovich was very well prepared, and the players performed well on both offense and defense.

Kobe was still playing a pick-and-roll with Yao Ming. This time, he chose to do it himself, dribbling the ball to the right baseline. Bowen caught up with him. Yao Ming made an air cut and was followed by Duncan. Kobe gave up the idea of ​​passing the ball to the middle.

He turned his back to Bowen at a 45-degree angle, turned toward the baseline, and avoided the blocked shot. The move was very beautiful, but the arc of the ball was a bit flat and it bounced out of the frame. Duncan got stuck and grabbed a backcourt rebound.

The Spurs attacked in position and passed the ball back and forth several times. Duncan transferred the ball to Ginobili in the right corner.

The "Argentine Demon Sword" faced Iguodala, feinted with the ball, and then changed direction to 45 degrees. After attracting Iguodala to move laterally, he dribbled the ball from behind to his right hand, quickly changed direction to break through the baseline, and succeeded in passing again. .

Ginobili's movement is very unique. It seems that the center of gravity is unstable, but it is very effective.

Iguodala has the body to become a super defensive player, with good explosive power, lateral speed, and strength, but after all, he is only a rookie and lacks experience, so his defensive skills are less effective. In the zone defense system, players are position-oriented. He cannot always defend Bowen and must meet more challenges.

Yao Ming made a defense under the basket. Ginobili jumped up and gently passed the ball to the left. Muhammad cut to the basket, took the ball and shot from close range. 0 to 8.

Yao Ming couldn't turn around, and even with his height, he couldn't defend one against two at the basket.

Muhammad smiled happily when he returned to defense.

I clapped hands with Ginobili. He can score 6 points in a game, which is considered a normal offensive performance. He is expected to score in double figures today.

Kobe broke away from Yao Ming's screen, received the ball on the left and faced three threats from the frame. He suddenly made a 60-degree mid-range shot to avoid Bowen's block, and the ball went in! 2 to 8.

Although the goal was scored, the Lakers did not cooperate and only relied on the individual abilities of the stars.

When the Spurs attacked, Duncan provided a screen for Ginobili and helped him get rid of the pass from Parker. He feinted with the ball, attracting Kobe to increase his defensive focus. He broke through with the ball and made a jump shot in the middle. 2 to 10.

Yao Ming failed to defend at the bottom line, and Rasheed followed Duncan and did not defend from the side. Ginobili's opening performance was the most eye-catching, combining sudden points and shots.

Yang Rui was the first to request a timeout. If they continue to use zone defense, it will be difficult for the Lakers to defend.

Spurs players will continue to use screens to create opportunities, and even Muhammad also played a role. He cut inside to receive the pass, and he could score from close range.

Through competition in the regular season, Popovich clearly understands the strengths and weaknesses of the Lakers, and requires players to focus on breakthroughs, reduce jump shots, and go to the basket to score. Even if he can't score, he will try his best to cause Yao Ming to foul.

Yang Rui made a substitution, Rashid came off the field early and sent on Diaw, adding a short forward.

Zhang Lili said puzzledly: "Yang Rui's substitution this time is a bit confusing. Why should he play Diaw, who can't shoot three-pointers? Now Yao Ming is the only one inside, with the big one leading the four little ones."

Partner Yu Jia said: "He should be to strengthen the defense against breakthroughs. Spurs insider Muhammad is a blue-collar man and can only attack in the low post. Yao Ming does not need to defend. But if Duncan receives the ball from the outside and lets Diaw defend it, it would be a bit too much. Hardly. "

Regardless of Duncan, Yang Rui first wanted to guard Ginobili.

Duncan is the cornerstone of the Spurs. He can score more than 20 points quietly on the offensive end, but usually only has more than 20 points, and rarely takes consecutive shots.

Ginobili is the team's sharp knife. He is the most powerful offensive player with the ball, and he has a strong explosive scoring ability. Once he is in trouble, he is unstoppable.

This season, Ginobili's strength has reached the peak of his career. In Yang Rui's previous life, the Spurs were able to defeat the strong Pistons in the 2005 Finals. Ginobili was the number one contributor from the perimeter and could compete with Duncan for the Finals MVP, averaging 18.7 points, 5.9 rebounds and 4 assists per game.

Yang Rui was deeply impressed by that series and knew what would happen if he didn't focus on taking care of Ginobili. In games 1, 2, and 7 of the 2005 Finals, Ginobili performed brilliantly, breaking out after pick-and-rolls and toying with many Pistons defensive experts. At that time, it was Rasheed Wallace who was responsible for guarding the pick-and-roll inside the Pistons. He couldn't guard it.

Unable to cooperate at the critical moment in that series, the Spurs relied on Ginobili to attack. The Pistons knew he was going to attack, but they just couldn't prevent it. The Pistons' defense can be recorded in history.

In the few games the Pistons defended, they used Hamilton to pester Ginobili and Prince to defend the pick-and-roll. Ginobili performed poorly in games 3, 4, and 5, and was questioned as an away bug because of this.

Yang Rui firmly believes that sending a small man to enhance mobility is the right choice at this time.

The game continued. Diaw showed off his power when he came on the court. He took on the important organizational responsibility in the middle. Yao Ming went to the right to cover Mo Williams and helped him get rid of Parker. Duncan went to the side to defend and was distracted.

Diaw didn't pass the ball to his teammates. He took the ball and looked to the side. He suddenly changed direction and passed Muhammad with the ball, and scored a layup. 4 to 10.
