Chapter 574 The old and stronger spurt

In the first game at the beginning of the new year, Li Tian returned to the arena, making up for the team's lack of offense and defense against the front line and greatly strengthened the front line defense.

He narrowly defeated the Kings at home with 102:109.

Then we had a wave of winning streaks, defeating the Mavericks 96:131; then won the mosaic at 79:88; and won the same city Clippers at 89:103.

Two days later, he challenged the Portland Trail Blazers away. The young Trail Blazers went through the trials of the playoffs last season. Roy and Ade became more mature. The Lakers lost the game 102:104, and Kobe finally

At all times, I missed the chance to win the finals outside the three-point line, made a three-pointer and finally lost regretfully!

Back at home, since the last time, Jennings was crushed strongly, it has been much more calm. The Bucks have no interest in playing against the Lakers. The Lakers checked in in three quarters, easily defeated the Bucks, and then kept working hard.

Flying to Santon Anho, it will challenge the Spurs away.

The Spurs' performance this season is still quite stable. Even if they have experienced big deals, Richard Jefferson and Bowen retired. The three troikas who are as stable as old dogs still have a more stable performance. The Spurs are still performing more than stable.

The record firmly occupies the top six in the West.

Everyone sighed that time is a killer, but for some reason, there was no sign of aging in the Spurs and Popovich.

The performance of the Spurs three is still so stable. Popovich is still as calm as before when he is on the sidelines, and will always bring unexpected "surprise" to his opponent!

For a team like the Spurs, it is really not that easy to win if you make a surprise move, but more often you are in positional battles and win them.

*******

Pre-match interview.

"Popovich, what do you think about Li signing a sky-high endorsement contract?" The reporter asked. Although this question has been badly asked, it has been discussed by the media and the team recently. The main thing is this news.

A little big.

"What can I think? Even if I have any objections, Li won't. Even if I share a dollar, I don't expect to share the money. He can give me a bottle of red wine." It's still humorous as usual.

What can he express? This is a reflection of the player's commercial value. If someone plays well and the brand is willing to pay, what can you do? There is no temper at all.

The reporter was caught off guard and asked other teams, either sending blessings or just talking about him. When he arrived at Popovich, he asked for gifts directly, and there was no one else.

"Duncan, do you think Lee deserves this endorsement contract?" The reporter could only settle for the second best and handed the microphone to Duncan.

"I'll ask, if I say he is not worthy, can you discuss with them and give me such an endorsement contract?" Duncan was even more slutty, and the reporter wanted to die.

No matter what the reporter's face was, Duncan always remained the same, without any change. The nickname "Stone Buddha" is really well deserved.

There was a burst of laughter in the visiting team's locker room!

"Hahaha! I'm so laughing. I didn't expect that Duncan, who is serious, could still joke with reporters like this!" Artai laughed. This answer was already the highest level in his IQ.

"What happened again?" Odom leaned over to Ate.

The day Atai entered the team, after being beaten up, he became much more honest. The communication with his teammates was completely different from his previous attitude of bandits.

Odom also had a good relationship with Ate because of this.

"See, take a look at the interview between Popovich and Duncan, and you will know why I laughed like this."

Arte handed the interview video to Odom.

As expected, Odom also laughed so hard that he leaned back and forth.

"Baoba!" Phil patted a few times in a row, signaling the players to calm down.

Everyone walked to Phil and listened carefully to the tactics he arranged.

Through Phil's tone of speaking, you can feel his importance to this game. Because some time ago, the Lakers lost to the Cavaliers, Kings, and Suns and experienced a three-game losing streak. Many media believe that the Lakers this season

, unable to fight a strong team, this is the biggest insult.

Now facing the Spurs, although Arte is injured and cannot continue to play, the Lakers will also have to win the game.

"Do you understand?" After finishing the tactical arrangement, Phil asked as usual.

"I understand! (No problem!)" The answer was quite unified, only Bynum seemed a little stunned.

After the tactical arrangement was completed, everyone consciously organized their equipment.

"Brother Tian, ​​do I have a chance today?" Famal asked.

The gap between the two is getting bigger and bigger, and the corresponding intersection between the two is getting less. The main reason is that Famal rarely comes to train early, so the intersection will definitely decrease.

"Whether you have a chance, it's useless to ask me, it depends more on your strength." Regarding Famal's question, Li Tian had long wanted to tell him that when he first arrived at the Lakers, the two had a good relationship and would do it.

He is often reminded to strengthen his training.

Unfortunately, this guy seems to be a sperm and he wants to find a girlfriend every day, but he has very little improvement in football skills.

"Brother Tian, ​​can you take me with me next time in training?"

"You can just arrive early in the morning. If you have any questions, please ask Kobe and me." Hearing Famal's words, he thought he wanted to get up early to train with them.

"No, no, Brother Tian, ​​what I want to say is the offseason training camp!" Famal had been holding this in his heart for a long time.

Because he could see that Sun Yue's improvement in the new season was a big improvement, which could be said to have a qualitative improvement. Phil would rather allow Kobe to occupy most of his playing time when he was off the court. Even if he was garbage, Sun Yue's appearance frequency would be reduced.

.This is not a lack of attention to him, but a performance of improving his position in the team.

"There is no problem to participate in the training camp, as long as you have to be able to persist and train with us until the end of the season, otherwise I will not invite you to participate in my training camp."

Last season, he invited all the Lakers players, but no one was willing to participate. At that time, you didn’t participate, and now if you want to participate, it’s not so easy to participate. Training camps don’t need people who like to be lazy, this is the case.

If you don’t have perseverance, it’s better not to invite me.

"Okay, I will get up early every day to train." Famal was a little disappointed because Li Tian did not agree directly, but after thinking about it, I felt that it was nothing wrong to do so.

Half an hour later, the game between the two teams began.

Spurs starters: Parker, Bogans, Jefferson, Blair, Duncan.

Bynum won the jump ball, and Li Tian took the ball and came outside the three-point line to launch his first attack.

Before the game, Popovich arranged for Jefferson to defend Li Tian, ​​but at the same time, his teammates had not arranged for assisting defense. There was no way for the team to find someone to assist in defense.

Before the Spurs players were placed, they started to attack.

Continuous dribbling under the crotch, and the left side changed direction and accelerated to break through. Richardson's speed was not as fast as the previous two seasons, not to mention that they were facing Li Tian, ​​who was more abnormal in speed.

Pass the defense in one step!

Europe rushed to the basket, carrying Richardson behind his back and scoring a layup.

It took only 5 seconds to attack the Lakers for the first time, and it has the same effect as the Suns' bombardment tactics. They are both so fast, but the reasons for the fast are different.

The Lakers played very quickly, and the Spurs were not in a hurry at all.

Parker slowly carried the ball forward. When Duncan finished his position, he still did not rush to attack. He passed the ball several times in a row, and the attack time had taken 10 seconds, but the Spurs still did not launch an attack.

Seeing that the Spurs had not yet launched an attack, Li Tian couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "It's so stable!"

The basketball turned around and returned to Parker's hand again. Duncan also took advantage of the situation to raise the high position and launched a pick-and-roll for the offense.

Parker broke through the defense with the help of pick-and-roll. After Duncan completed the pick-and-roll, he also took advantage of the situation to make an all-in-one connection, and Gasol was also attracted by the breakthrough.

Seeing Duncan go astray, Bynum immediately met. Last time he was yelled by Kobe, he secretly swore to prove himself that he would tell Kobe that he was lighter, and this time he was against Duncan, it was a good thing

An opportunity, an opportunity to show your own might.

Parker made a sudden score and gave the ball to Duncan, who was down. After receiving the ball, he formed a local one-to-one attack at the basket.

"Touch!" Duncan was about to fight. The first time he exerted his strength, Bynum's center of gravity changed.

Duncan once again accumulated strength and hit Bynum, turned over and hit the board and made a mid-range shot.

Seeing Duncan's performance, I wanted a word "old and stronger". This word is really appropriate to describe the Spurs.

The Lakers attacked, Li Tian used Gasol's pick-and-roll to score a sudden goal and returned the ball to Gasol, making a mid-range shot!

"Defense! Defense! Defense!" Popovich shouted on the sidelines that the Spurs are famous for their overall situation. They have never relied on their individual skills, both offense and defense.

Popovich made a gesture, which was not an offensive tactical gesture, but a defensive tactical gesture. He asked the team to conduct joint defense, and at the same time delayed the Lakers' offensive speed.

Parker held the ball, called his teammates to his side, and then whispered, "Defense, delay the attack, be sure to defend well, and remember to call someone if you need help!"

Everyone understands the simple advice. The most puzzling thing is that no matter who arrives at the Spurs, it feels like they can integrate into the Spurs' system in an instant.

Of course, there are exceptions, that is Rodman, a player who will have a headache when he sees the Bulls.

Parker reorganized the offense, and there was no breakthrough this time, nor did he pick and roll, and he directly gave the ball to Duncan in the inside. This is their advantage, and starting an attack from the inside is the best choice.

The Spurs' offense was in an orderly manner. Parker and Bogans on the outside were running wildly, and Fisher and Kobe could only chase after him.

Blair moved sideways, blocking Fisher, who was chasing him and Parker. After more than ten seconds of running, Parker finally got a chance to get a mobile phone.

Duncan also passed the ball at the first time.

Parker catches the ball and hits the mid-range shot!

4:4 The two teams tied.

Li Tian saw Blar back to defense. This guy was not as irritable as some rookies in the rookie season. Although he lacked defensive experience, his defensive attitude was still good.

Seeing this situation, Li Tian felt that the Spurs were not only Duncan, but the entire team was like this.
Chapter completed!
