Chapter 1150 (1/2)
At the end of the game, the score of both sides rose alternately, unable to defend the other side. The Lakers rely on Guo Xu to attract the ball to drive the team, and the Spurs rely on the inside twin towers and Leonard.
In the second half, the commentators praised Pau Gasol. At 36, he was still very efficient, able to play solo and respond to attack, and was the most stable performance in the Spurs' interior line on the defensive end.
People used to talk about rookie No. 21, but this year's 40 year old Duncan is really old. His shooting percentage dropped sharply. This year's playoff shooting rate was only 42%, with 5.5 points. Last year, he averaged 18 + 11 in the playoffs. In the first round of this year, he scored 2 points and 0 points per game in the first round.
On the defensive end, Duncan's moving speed is too slow. When Guo Xu is resting, he can play positional warfare. If Guo Xu starts to run and blast, he is not suitable for the stage.
The overall speed of the Spurs is not as fast as that of the Lakers, and the star's ability is not as good as Guo Xu.
The biggest weakness is that the center defense is poor, nurkic is too slow, hofford is too thin to play power forward, Thackeray playoffs is better to throw towel on the sidelines, Bonner was not included in the playoff list.
After the end of this season, Thackeray is a free agent. The management of the Lakers can't renew his contract with him. He can be a marginal player in the regular season and can't keep up with the rhythm in the playoffs.
This summer, the center position of the Lakers must be changed, even if not trade, only nurkic is left.
The second weakness is that the Lakers have too many young players and are in an unstable state. Booker, Josh Richardson, Seth curry and Harrell are prone to mistakes. This year's playoffs hit star data nurkic is only the second season of his career.
The strength of most teams in the regular season can't compare with that of the Laker. Just defending Guo Xu has racked his brains. The young players play the downwind ball with less responsibility and perform well. Entering the playoffs, they have to give Guo Xu more support, the strength of the confrontation after a bit of maladjustment.
In particular, small curry and Richardson, who are light in 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 fiercely. There is no good adjustment method for the coaching team, which can only reduce their playing time.
Under the leadership of Popovich, the Spurs are particularly good at attacking the weaknesses of their opponents. When Bowen was here, he could stretch his feet and put out one
In short, the competition in the west is very fierce. Even if Guo Xu leads the team, he can't easily hang the Spurs in the second round. The score was deadlocked until the last two minutes, with 113 draws.
Guo Xu, who has scored 43 points, 11 assists and 2 steals, is the best player in the game. The Spurs can call his defense a success, the role players play in general, wasted a lot of Guo Xu's pass.
The Lakers have no reservations. Hofford has played 37 minutes today, which is far beyond his average playing time. No. 4 defensive black hole Boozer and inexperienced Harrell will not be able to play. Harrell played five minutes in the second quarter and scored only two points.
For the right of the Lakers, Talon Lu called a pause to arrange the tactics, and asked the players to help Guo Xu create a mobile phone club, and he would throw all the balls. At this time, star tactics are the best.
At the critical moment, Talon Lu sent Robertson, Tucker, and the Lakers couldn't relax their defense.
Tucker has been playing for 35 minutes. He has only played five seasons in the NBA, but he is 31 years old this year, playing very steadily.
Veteran Carter was also sent to the last minute, Booker as the bench, this is the coach group's trust in veteran.
Centre forward is hofford, Talon Lu or infinite change of defense based, the interior line only left one person. In fact, this is to lead the other side to attack the forbidden area and score two points.
The TNT commentator talked about the core of the two teams. ”Jason didn't look flustered when he looked straight and smiling,” Smith said. I'm optimistic that the Lakers get off to a good start. When they try their best at the end of the season, they seldom let people down
