: 248. Western Conference Finals III


Attracted to double-teaming! This is what Gasol wanted, he immediately divided the ball to Leonard who should have been defending Liu Ren. ww*w
Liu Ren made a jump shot outside the three-point line and made it very easy. His body naturally made the exercise repeated countless times during training. The ball traversed a beautiful arc and fell into the basket.
6 to 3, the Lakers lead again.
"Liu's three-pointer is already at a very good level. It's amazing to know that the layup was not allowed in the first two seasons. I don't know how much training he has done to improve now." Ford was discussing the game on the sidelines and couldn't help sighing when he saw Liu Ren's light three-pointer.
"At the beginning, if I was decisive and used a ten million annual salary to recruit him, he might be our player." Buford is still regretting this incident.
"Haha, it doesn't matter Richard, we still have a chance, and Liu's personality is too prominent, now let him come to our team to serve as Kawhi or Manu tasks, he may be more fierce than now!" Smiled.
"Greg, don't you believe that the Lakers are really infighting?" Buford asked curiously.
"I don't believe what's the use? It's our players who are playing. Did you really believe it if you didn't see Chris? He is a little unclear about his position now. I think we are going to have something wrong with this game." Said.
"Something is going to happen? Greg, are you not worried at all?" Buford asked anxiously.
"Don't worry, you have to win four games in the series to win. We have no problem." Vicki shrugged and said that he didn't care at all.
Well, Buford can only suppress his anxiety and watch the game.
Looking back on the court, Gasol still didn't stand up to defend this time. He wanted to see if Dior had good luck with the ball just now, or whether he felt really good today.
Gasol didn't want to have a baby, and Dior hit the second three-pointer in a row.
"Did you see..." Dior kept spitting beside Gasol.
Gasol ignored Dior, he was thinking about the defensive end.
On the offensive end, he has no pressure at all. Even if he is different from what he discussed before the game, he suddenly becomes the core of the tactics, he has no problem. The ball was passed to Liu Ren.
Sure enough, Leonard went to double-team Gasol again, and Gasol sent it to Liu Ren.
As the team's strongest defensive player, Leonard not only has to defend the opponent's strongest offensive player alone, but he also has to assist in defense. It doesn't look like it should be done as a core at all. Liu Ren also used this to subordinate Leonard to a victory.
But now it seems that Leonard has come out of that blow and is more determined, making Liu Ren quite lamented that the psychological quality of a person who wants to become a real superstar is not covered!
Liu Ren received the ball and just wanted to make a jump shot easily, when suddenly a stout guy wearing a black jersey No. 2 appeared in front of him.
Leonard! This guy is really positive in making up! The ball came out as soon as he was still inside!
But Liu Ren didn't have any pressure.
"Hi, Kawhi, I'm going to play." Liu Ren didn't pause, and was already dribbling the ball when he spoke.
Liu Ren took the initiative to stick to Leonard with his back, suddenly turned around and squeezed Leonard away with his strength, and quickly rushed into the inside. Duncan was about to make up for the defense and was stubbornly resisted by Green. Liu Ren entered the three-second zone and flew into the basket. , The ball falls steadily into the basket.
Leonard is very active defensively, but sometimes it is useless to be active. His defense does not interfere with Liu Ren at all.
The biggest characteristic of Green is his good consciousness. Whether it is offensive or defensive, he can have a strong consciousness. He deserves to be known as the representative of the most modern insider.
Seeing the intensity and explosiveness of the other party, Leonard felt a deep sense of powerlessness.
"Every time I fight him, I am so weak, I must catch up with him!" Leonard said firmly in his heart.
It's the Spurs offense again.
Dior hit consecutive three-pointers from the outside, forcing Gasol to come out of the inside, not allowing Dior to continue shooting open.
Parker saw that Gasol did not pass the ball to Dior to continue shooting after seeing Gasol following Dior, and beckoned Leonard to come over and pick and roll himself.
The pick-and-roll is a tactic that Leonard used to play with Parker. Leonard's strong body is very strong from point guards to small forwards. Every time, like a weight, he blocked the opposing defensive players.
This time was no exception. Nash's thin body slammed into Leonard, and he was bumped into the ground and almost fell to the ground.
Liu Ren was originally defending Leonard. After Leonard gave Parker a pick and roll, he had to let Leonard go to defend Parker. If Parker succeeded in entering the post, there was no one to defend, and he would be able to throw the shot directly.
Parker's throw is not a joke. He once cast a 4 to o for the Cavaliers led by young James, and beat Duncan and Ginobili to get the most valuable player in the finals.
This time Leonard was empty and cut into the basket. Gasol had already seen Leonard's attempt. Several large strides blocked Leonard to prevent Leonard from cutting into the basket.
At this moment, Parker passed the ball to the inside, who was it?
It's Dior! He rushed to the basket when Gasol went to defend Leonard to run without the ball~EbookFREE.me~.
After receiving the ball, Dior twisted his fat-waisted rolling ball layup, and then gave Gasol a triumphant look.
The game has become a bit troublesome. Today Dior has a good long-range shooting touch. Vicki is a very good coach. His excellence is not only in directing on the spot. He will make a lot of preparations before the game so that every player can be in training. Remember your own strengths and the strengths of your teammates, and then wave them out one by one.
Dior is the same as before. It has always been a meatball that can only run in the playoffs, but he still figured out how to take advantage of Dior.
Dior's strongest advantage is that he can inside and outside, he can make three-pointers, his hands are soft, and he is very accurate inside the basket.
Vicki has put in such a lineup, only Duncan is a real inside player, the purpose is to pull out the opponent's center, and then swing Parker, Leonard, Dior, Ginobili and others to break through the air cut ability .
Duncan is completely acting as a decoy. Although he is not as dazzling as before, his deterrence is still there. The players on the Lakers, like other teams, still habitually treat Duncan as a superstar, defensively. There is always someone next to him.
Gasol really couldn't prevent Dior after he pulled to the perimeter. Dior is very meaty, and the speed is a little faster than Gasol. Gasol can't hold the fake action. If Gasol puts a step to stop Dior, Dior will soon want the ball to shoot a three-pointer, the key is that Dior feels very good today, how to shoot how to have.
The Lakers have no problem with the offense. Gasol’s dominance at the basket, Liu Ren and Kobe’s strong offensive ability, Nash who opens up the space and Green who copes well, don’t worry about scoring.
But the Lakers were in trouble on the defensive end, allowing the Spurs to score consecutively. At the end of the quarter, the Lakers trailed by 6 points 27 to 33.
