Two days later, at the ATT Center Arena, home of the San Antonio Spurs, Popovich gave his answer.

Although the starting lineup has not changed, his tactics have undergone tremendous changes, especially on the defensive end.

After the game started, the Lakers got the ball for the first attack of the game, and Rondo handed the ball to Ye Fei inside. The Spurs immediately shrunk their defense, and Duncan double-teamed over immediately. Facing the defense of the two, Ye Fei was not afraid, and still wanted to do it by himself.

But what surprised Ye Fei was that there were more than two players wearing white jerseys around him.

Soon another white figure came over.

But this is not the end.

On Ye Fei's side, another white player surrounded him, and immediately there were four defensive players, coming to target Ye Fei.

In addition, the fifth player also walked towards Ye Fei, and five Spurs players instantly appeared in front of him, behind him, on the left and right sides.

The Spurs are really crazy.

Popovich once again resorted to a shocking tactic, actually using five players to defend Ye Fei. Block his position, I see how you still show off your footwork, it is difficult to even get off the ball, Ye Fei did not force it, and immediately collected the ball and passed it to the open Casspi, who Missed a three-pointer.

The rebound was taken by Aldridge. This round was double-teamed by five players. They successfully defended against Ye Fei and limited the Lakers' offense.

But the price they paid was not small, and they also took great risks. If Casspi hadn't imagined that he would have such a big gap, the Spurs would probably lose three points first.

Ye Fei knows their defense and won't last long.

But he didn't expect that Popovich would be so stubborn. Before the first official suspension of the game, he had been defending Ye Fei with five players. As soon as Ye Fei got the ball, the players who appeared beside him , It must not be less than three, and the other two players will double-team at any time.

Under the crazy five-man defense of the Spurs, Ye Fei only scored two points in these few minutes.

The Lakers' offensive rhythm was completely disrupted by the Spurs "he (cdbjs) took the opportunity to play a wave of 15-7 offensive climax.

The rest of the Lakers' players didn't feel good, and they were a little uncomfortable with the sudden change of the Spurs. After all, in the previous three games, the Spurs relied on overall defense, which put a lot of pressure on the rest of the Lakers players. Suddenly there was no sense of oppression, and they were not used to it.

But after returning from the timeout, Bryant was the first to stand up and forced the Spurs to make a change.

Kobe shot from inside and outside, scoring 7 points in a row, closing the gap.

The Spurs finally paid the price for their five-man defense against Ye Fei. Popovich immediately made adjustments and changed his defensive strategy. He also understood that he couldn't defend Ye Fei like this all the time.

But when the Spurs lowered their defensive strength against Ye Fei, Ye Fei was invincible on the offensive end and couldn't be stopped at all.

Ye Fei turned on the invincible offensive state, and the Spurs' defense line collapsed instantly, vulnerable to a single blow in front of Ye Fei.

In just 2 minutes, Ye Fei scored 8 points, forcing Popovich to change players again and adopt the tactic of five players defending Ye Fei again.

The Spurs took the initiative to seek change and wanted to take the initiative on the court, but they were led by the nose by Ye Fei instead.

The Lakers, adapting to the Spurs' five-man defense, no longer wasted opportunities. Kobe, Nick Young, Stephenson and others stepped forward one after another, looking for the Spurs' defensive space, creating easy scoring opportunities, and did not give the Spurs a chance to catch up. The point difference between the two sides did not widen, and the Spurs still relied on offense to firmly bite the score.

But when the Spurs changed their defense and did not put enough pressure on Ye Fei, he would stand up and lead the team to open the score.

He completely angered Popovich, and after the last five minutes of the second quarter, he never changed his defensive strategy.

Constantly changing players, maintaining the team's firepower on the field, and resolutely using the five-man defense of Ye Fei's tactics.

Although they managed to hold Ye Fei down, they were not dominant in the scene, and they were constantly being suppressed by the Lakers.

The cooperation between Kobe and Ye Fei has become more and more tacit, and the linkage between the two on the court has driven the entire team. Although it is not easy for Ye Fei to score, with the help of Condor Eye, Ye Fei's passing and coping skills are brought into full play, and he helps his teammates score easily with beautiful assists time after time.

Ye Fei, who was suppressed by five opponents on the offensive end, put most of his energy on defense, which caused great trouble for the Spurs' offense.

With their excellent five-man defense, the Spurs limited Ye Fei for more than three quarters, but at the end of the fourth quarter, they had physical problems and began to lose pace.

The Lakers seized the opportunity and played several beautiful defensive counterattacks to widen the score.

As the opponent's defensive pressure weakened, Ye Fei began to make more contributions on the offensive end, scoring several beautiful points, giving the Spurs a fatal attack.

In the end, they failed to withstand the pressure. Although relying on five-man defense to limit Ye Fei's scoring, they still failed to win the game.

They lost to the Lakers 92 to 101 at home, regrettably, and had no choice but to swallow the bitter fruit of failure.

This is the end of the Spurs' home journey this season, and the Lakers are 4-1 close to the Western Conference Finals.

Popovich was very helpless, but he still took the initiative to shake hands with coach Mike Brown, and also shook hands with Ye Fei. With a bitter smile, he said to Ye Fei: Boy, you are simply a big trouble. Five people can't guard against you. But I don’t need any more headaches, I’ll leave it to the head coach of your next opponent to worry about, remember to give more trouble to my student Steve.

Ye Fei responded with a smile, and said to him with a smile: "Old man, you are so cruel, you actually used five people to defend against me."

"But you kid can still get 25 points, you are such a terrifying monster."

Ye Fei laughed.

The Spurs players came over to shake hands with Ye Fei to show that although they lost to the Lakers and Ye Fei, they were convinced.

In this round of the series, Ye Fei performed really well. In the last game, five people defended him, and he still scored 25 points, 17 rebounds, 13 assists, 9 blocks and 8 steals.

Duncan was the last one who came to shake hands with Ye Fei. After chatting with him for a few words, he said to Ye Fei at the end: "I can now officially announce that the future will be yours. I'm really not joking this time."
