Chapter 410

"Whatever, I have no objection to who I partner with."

Duncan said lightly.

"Well done, Duncan, I appreciate your all-encompassing temperament."

Popovich nodded in satisfaction.

In order to contain Ginobili's "snake breakthrough", the Lakers changed their defensive formation from "one-on-one" defense to "two-three" defense.

Ginobili's breakthrough was quickly blocked, and he frequently distributed the ball to the outside "little general" Johnson and Elliott.

The two moved the ball in a wide range and formed a good interaction with Robinson and Rose inside. The Spurs still played in an orderly manner.

In contrast, the Lakers' firepower was mostly concentrated on Kobe and "Madman". While the two played singles with the ball on both sides, they did not forget to distribute the ball to Van Exel and Horry who were running in the air. Yu went on to mention that the high position acts as a "transfer station" and transfers the ball to a teammate in a better position in time.

The Lakers' style of play is more focused on the outside, which is in stark contrast to the Spurs' "blooming inside and outside".

Fortunately, Kobe and "Madman" had a good touch, and their mid-range shots were fairly stable, causing the scores of the two sides to rise alternately. At the end of the third quarter, the score of the two teams was finally fixed at "77:76". Slightly ahead of the Spurs.

"Director Zhang, I found that the staffing of the Lakers and the Spurs is very similar. On the inside, the Lakers have Zhou Yu and O'Neal, while the Spurs have Duncan and Robinson; on the outside, the Lakers have Kobe, and the Spurs have super rookie Manu Ginobili. This team is like a pair of 'twin brothers'."

Su Qun, who was on the commentary seat, said with emotion.

"Yeah, both teams have a balanced internal and external strength, can be fast or slow, that's why the game is so intense and anxious."

Zhang Weiping nodded.

"Director Zhang, the reason why Da Zhi didn't perform well in the third quarter is probably because he was preparing for the final decisive stage."

Su Qun guessed.

"I think so too. The strengths of the two sides are evenly matched. It is difficult to tell the difference in the first three quarters of the game. Only in the second half of the fourth quarter can we see the difference."

Zhang Weiping said.

"In this way, our Big Zhi can show the drama of 'Heroes and Saviors' again."

Su Qun rubbed his palms and said excitedly.

"Xiao Su, don't be too happy too early. In my opinion, the real threat to the Spurs is not Robinson and Ginobili, but Tim Duncan with a dull gaze. His basic skills are really good, better than textbooks. To regulate, it's breathtaking."

Zhang Weiping sighed.

"Director Zhang, with all due respect, that Duncan's skills are indeed not bad, but our Big Zhi's skills are even cooler. Moreover, Duncan looks a bit stupid, not as smart as Da Zhi, so how can he be Big Zhi's opponent."

Su Qun smiled indifferently.

"Xiao Su, your knowledge is still a little superficial. In a basketball game, sometimes the simpler the offensive method is, the more effective it is. Duncan probably belongs to the kind of player who is 'simple but not simple'."

Zhang Weiping spoke earnestly.

"Director Zhang, the more you talk about it, the more confused I become. Can you be more specific?"

Su Qun was a little confused.

"You don't need to understand it too thoroughly, your reflex arc is more suitable for a little taste."

Zhang Weiping said coldly.

"Director Zhang, the length of my reflex arc doesn't mean I'm stupid."

Su Qun said angrily.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Lakers and Spurs changed again, with O'Neal and Robinson playing with a group of substitutes, and the game evolved into a duel between the "four major centers".

Although Robinson is not as powerful as O'Neill, his experience and attack range exceed O'Neill.

Therefore, instead of smacking against O'Neal at the basket, he mentioned the middle distance, fully opened up the room for movement, and played sports with O'Neal.

After two consecutive probing steps, Robinson immediately accelerated with the ball. Under O'Neal's strong top defense, Robinson had to move laterally first, and when he saw the opportunity, he suddenly turned around and cut inward, heading straight for the basket.

O'Neill, who was flashed past, became furious, and immediately followed. When Robinson made a shot, a powerful chasing cap came from behind.

As a result, the referee's whistle sounded suddenly, and O'Neal was sentenced to a thug foul, and Robinson made two free throws.

"Coach, isn't Brother Robinson very bloody in playing football? Why do you always say that he is not bloody enough to play?"

Duncan turned his head and looked at Popovich blankly, a little puzzled.

"Because he doesn't bleed a lot when he plays, is that enough reason?"

Popovich glared at Duncan angrily, and said angrily.

"Coach, to tell you the truth, I have watched the game videos of the 'Four Major Centers'. Brother Robinson is not as bad as you describe. He should be the most comprehensive skill among the 'Four Major Centers', but he was reprimanded by you. It's just a lack of self-confidence, which leads to a little timidity on the court and a little restraint in playing."

Duncan was blunt.

"Duncan, do you feel that you are getting less scolded, and deliberately find faults to provoke me?"

Popovich gritted his teeth.

"Coach, you may have forgotten one thing. I majored in psychology in college, and my mental quality is quite strong, and I am basically not disturbed by external factors."

Duncan said.

When Popovich heard the words, he almost fainted from the anger. He had seen "ignorant" people, but he had never seen a guy like Duncan who was "so angry that people don't pay for his life".

Duncan was right. Robinson did have comprehensive skills, and he made both free throws steadily.

"78:77", the Spurs achieved a go-ahead!
How could O'Neal be willing to let it go, and then took the ball in the low post and launched a crazy attack on Robinson.

Robinson, who has always liked to avoid reality and ignore reality, tried his best to reshape the "big brother" demeanor in front of the rookies, and fought hard against O'Neill.

The collision between the two center forwards sparked everywhere and screamed again and again. After some close hand-to-hand combat, O'Neal didn't take advantage of it, and was blocked by Robinson outside the penalty area.

Seeing that the attacking time was about to run out, O'Neill suddenly turned around in desperation, flashing a little room for shooting, intending to use his good little hook to solve the battle.

It's a pity that he still ignored Robinson's extraordinary jumping ability, and the instant he made the shot, he was covered by Robinson's fingertips. At the same time, the attack time ran out and the Spurs got the ball.

"Wang, did you see that your 'Brother Shark' is still a little impulsive in playing, and hasn't made much progress."

Harris was so angry that he rested his forehead with one hand, and said helplessly.

"Coach, 'Brother Shark' is also eager to make contributions, and his mood is understandable. Robinson is a center forward of the same level as him. It is normal for him to be blocked once."

Zhou Yu tried to persuade him.

"Wang, the rest of the game is up to you. The Spurs seem to be quite difficult to deal with. Before the game, I did underestimate their strength."

Harris looked at Zhou Yudao expectantly.

"Coach, you don't need to panic. The Spurs are indeed very strong, but they are not so strong that they are invulnerable. Compared with them, we have an advantage on the outside. Kobe, Sprewell and me are enough for them to drink It's too late, after I play for a while, I will organize a few more fast-break counterattacks and try to take them down as soon as possible."

Zhou Yu suspected that Harris might have had a nightmare last night, and immediately comforted him with kind words.

Robinson may be too excited, and he is playing more and more confidently. After getting the ball near the free throw line, facing O'Neal's staring defense, he didn't even make a step. A beautiful arc, crisp sound into the net!
