Chapter 1149: [2 weaknesses! How tough is it? 】

In the last quarter, the scores of the two sides rose alternately, preventing the other side. The Lakers relied on Guo Xu to attract the team to drive the team and the Spurs relied on the inside twin towers and Leonard.
In the second half, the commentators praised Paul Gasol. At 36 years old, he is still very efficient. He can play singles and respond to offenses. He is also the most stable defensive player in the Spurs.
People used to say the No. 21 rookie, but 40-year-old Duncan is really old. His shooting percentage has dropped sharply. This year's playoff shooting rate is only 42%, scoring 5.5 points. He averaged 18 + 11 per game in the playoffs last year. He scored 2 points and 0 points in the first round of this year.
On the defensive end, Duncan's movement speed is too slow. When Guo Xu rests, he can play a positional battle. Guo Xu starts running and he is not suitable for the stage.
The Spurs' overall speed is not as good as the Lakers, and the star's ability is not as good as Guo Xu. The Lakers themselves have exposed two weaknesses.
The biggest weakness is the poor center defense, Nurkic is too slow, Horford is thin and the main power forward, Sackley is still more appropriate to throw towels on the sidelines in the playoffs, and Bonner did not make the playoff roster.
After this season, Sackley is a free agent. The Lakers management can't renew his contract. His strength can be a marginal man in the regular season and can't keep up with the offensive end of the playoffs.
This summer, the Lakers' center position must be exchanged. Even if there is no trade, Nurkic is the only one left.
The second weakness is that the Lakers have too many young players and the state is very unstable. Booker, Josh Richardson, Seth Curry and Harel are all prone to make mistakes. Nurkic, who played star data in the playoffs this year, is only the second season of his career.
The strength of most teams in the regular season cannot be compared with that of the Lakers. Just defending Guo Xu has already racked his brains. The young players have the responsibility of playing downwind and less responsibility, and perform well. In the playoffs, they had to give Guo Xu more support, and the strength of the confrontation was a bit uncomfortable.
Especially Curry and Richardson, who are light-weight and poor in confrontation, can only be responsible for throwing three points. The defensive end is easy to be targeted by opponents and attack them. The coaching staff has no good adjustment methods, only to reduce their playing time.
Under the leadership of Popovich, the Spurs are particularly good at attacking opponents' weaknesses. When Bowen was there, he could stretch out his feet without a weakness ...
In short, the competition in the west is fierce. Even if Guo Xu led the team, he could not easily spur the Spurs in the second round. The score stalemate until the last two minutes, the two sides battled to 113.
Guo Xu has scored 43 points, 11 assists and 2 steals and is the best player in the game. The Spurs called his defense a success. The role players' performance was average, wasting a lot of Guo Xu's passes.
The Lakers have no reservations. Horford has played 37 minutes today, greatly exceeding his average playing time. The defensive black hole Boozer and the inexperienced Harrell, who played hard battles at No. 4, were also unable to play. Harrell played 5 minutes in the second quarter and scored only 2 points.
For the Lakers' ball rights, Tyron Lu called a timeout tactic and asked the players to help Guo Xu create a mobile phone meeting. All the will be cast by him. At this time, star tactics are the best tactics.
At a critical moment, Tyron Lu sent Robertson, Tucker, and the Lakers to relax.
Tucker has been playing for 35 minutes. He has only played 5 seasons in the NBA, but this year is 31 years old, playing very well.
Veteran Carter was also sent on the court at the last moment, Booker made the bench, which is the trust of the coaching staff to the veteran.
The center is Horford, and Tyrone Lu still focuses on unlimited defense, leaving only one person inside. This actually led the opponent to attack the restricted area and scored two points.
TNT commentators talked about the core of the two teams. Smith said: "Jason has always been smiling, and it seems that he is not panic at all. I am optimistic that the Lakers have made a good start, and when they fight for their personal ability in the end, he rarely disappoints.
Barkley analysis said: "I think the Spurs still have to rely on the whole. They lack a super scorer who can single out everyone. Robertson comes up. It is not a good idea to make Leonard singles at this time."
Guo Xu is now in a stable mood, not feeling too much pressure, nor having any special thoughts. He intends to rely on technology and experience to see the tricks, have absolute confidence in his personal abilities.
The Spurs also have a player who doesn't panic, that is Leonard, and he still has no expression at the end.
When discussing Leonard online, fans felt that the core of the Spurs should be like this, no one is more suitable for him to be Duncan's successor. In fact, he is different from Duncan. Duncan is paralyzed most of the time, but occasionally his expression is particularly rich, and he has contributed various expression packages.
The game continued, the Lakers attacked first, Guo Xu was caught after halftime and passed the ball to Horford who pulled to the outside. Leonard made a rotation to supplement the defense, and Horford passed the ball to Carter with a left corner.
Carter had just played, but the Spurs did not dare to empty him, Gasol made a three-pointer. Carter swayed a shot and traversed the ball to the basket. Robertson cut from the right side to the basket, and the empty space backhanded the basketball. 115 to 113.
The cooperation did not follow the tactics arranged by Tyrone Lu, but Guo Xu excitedly applauded his teammates.
Will be outside, the king's destiny can not be affected.
Carter made the right choice this round and played the role of veteran experience. Robertson also played well. He didn't have a range. He could score even if he went to the basket.
The Spurs attacked and the ball was given to Ade, because the defender was Tucker, which seemed to be a clear misalignment.
Tuck's non-stop closeness prevented Ade from catching the ball easily. After he caught the ball on his back, Tucker tried to push it away from the penalty area.
How hard is Tucker? He is not afraid of opponents who are taller than himself, and his two legs do not retreat like nails to the ground. He didn't get a big contract because he was short, but his defensive ability was seriously underestimated.
Ade turned his jumper away from the rim, Tucker followed him closely, disrupting the rhythm of the shot and the ball missed. In the playoffs, the intensity of the confrontation increases, and Tucker is so short. The referee cannot blow him defensive fouls because he leans into the arms.
Ade has a flaw, his career playoffs are inferior to the regular season, and his shooting percentage is only 45%. He is probably one of the softest insiders in the league, and his shooting percentage will decline in confrontation.
Robertson grabbed a backcourt rebound and passed Carter ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Carter passed it to Guo Xu again. At this time, the Spurs' point guard was 183CM Mills, and Guo Xu kicked it out.
Guo Xu took the ball and turned it for a single fast break. He made a layup easily before Green came up for defense. 117 to 113.
Popovich didn't use Parker because he couldn't run anymore and could easily be shorted from the three-point line. Mills is better at shooting three-pointers, and the speed is also very fast, but his confrontation ability is general. Guo Xu will not play a foul as long as he does not play the "iron mountain" when he counters.
After the Spurs attacked, Leonard gave Ade the ball after two passes and attacked the inside. Adelaide looked tough this time and was about to be in the penalty zone. If you do not want to attack a three-second violation at this moment, the ball has to pass to his hand as soon as possible.
As a result, as soon as Leonard's ball was shot, Tucker quickly completed the round. Ade, who was squeezed with his back, couldn't jump, and he jumped one hand and set the ball to Robertson who was closer.
Robertson found Guo Xu in a pass, and Mills dared not get close, fearing that he would be easily pushed away. Guo Xu's single fast break, two meters from the right three-point line, suddenly stopped for a three-pointer, rushing towards Mills.
The difference is widened ...
