The game between the Lakers and the Spurs began at 7:30 in the evening. This is a nationally broadcast focus battle.

Now the season has just started, and the strong teams have not started fighting each other, and the situation is not very clear for the time being.

The two old rivals, the Lakers and the Spurs, can be regarded as the most interesting game in the past two weeks.

The Spurs' starting lineup includes center Splitter, power forward Tim Duncan, small forward Kawhien Leonard, shooting guard Danny Green, and point guard Tony Parker.

The Lakers' starting lineup has changed slightly from the previous games. The four-star will not move, and the starting point guard has become Chris Duhon.

Blake is temporarily absent from this game due to a foot injury. Anyway, his defense and three-pointers make Brown dissatisfied, so let's just rest.

Li Liang was still the same as usual, sitting next to Mike Brown, holding his chin and waiting for the game to start.

Steve Nash wore a brown-green plaid suit as a sideline. His knee injury recovered quickly and he has started simple recovery training.

The team will put Nash on the injury watch list next week, and Nash can return to the game if needed.

The Lakers still have a relatively big problem at the point guard position. Morris, Blake, and Duhon are all embarrassed.

Howard jumped the ball with Splitter in the middle circle, and the game between the two sides began.

People can hardly remember, this is the first time Duncan's Spurs and Kobe's Lakers have faced each other.

Every time the two meet, there will be different sparks, and every time Kobe plays the Spurs, he also has special experience.

He was once a Spurs killer. Among the several matchups in the playoffs, only the Lakers in 2003 were completely defeated.

On other occasions, Bryant used his superior performance to make Popovich scratch his hair in anger.

No way, Kobe's style of play is indeed restrained by the Spurs' scientific and reasonable defensive style of play.

The Lakers won the ball first, Kobe took the ball, he did not attack, but chose to pass the ball to Howard inside.

The opening looks still have to be done, let Howard play, if you can score, then let you play, if you can't score, you won't play.

It was Duncan who faced Howard on the inside. Back then, Duncan could even defend O'Neal. How could you be afraid of Howard?

Howard took the sigma step behind the basket after receiving the ball. Before the three big steps could squeeze in, the ball was exposed and was cut off by Duncan's slap!

Howard made a mistake on the first ball in the opening game, which is not a good sign.

In the last game, Li Liang fed Howard quite comfortably on the perimeter, but that didn't change the fact that his offense had declined sharply.

The Spurs counterattacked, Tony Parker took the ball and rushed to the basket.

If Duncan became the absolute core of the team's offense after he came to the Spurs in 1997, then in 2005, Ginobili stood up and became the center of gravity of the offense in the perimeter era.

By 2007, a younger Tony Parker began to play a more important role.

The Spurs have done an orderly and undisturbed iteration of the core tactics.

Since last season, Tony Parker has become the team's first offensive starting point.

The Spurs' two strikers, Leonard and Danny Green, are both lagging defensive strikers, so the team's first attacker for a quick counterattack is Tony Parker.

The small French sports car was extremely fast. After rushing to the basket, Gasol and Ci Shiping followed up to make up the defense.

Parker made a circle from the bottom line and gave the ball to Split, who followed behind. Split made an easy layup and scored the first goal of the game.

Immediately afterwards, the Lakers missed again on the offensive end. Duncan took the backcourt rebound, and it was Parker who charged the ball to the frontcourt again.

As a point guard, Parker's number of goals under the basket has been at the forefront of the league all year round, relying on his speed and superb ball control and dribbling skills.

As soon as he rushed, the Lakers' defensive formation was chaotic, and the Spurs could win in chaos and look for opportunities.

The Spurs have two shots from the outside, one Danny Green and one Leonard.

Duncan now refers more to the high position to support and pass the ball.

Parker passed the ball to Duncan in the high position, Danny Green followed, received a pass from Duncan at 45 degrees on the right, and made a three-pointer!

Popovich has always said that he hates three-pointers, but the Spurs' three-pointers have never been less, and more and more.

"Shua!"

A three-pointer was hit, and Danny Green hit the first three-pointer.

The Lakers still insisted on playing inside, and Howard received the ball in a deeper position on the left this time.

This time he didn't dribble facing the basket, but used a small shoulder-shaking fake trick and hit a right-handed hook.

"The hook is beautiful! Dreamy steps! You are the best! The number one center forward!"

Li Liang followed Thackeray to form a towel duo off the court, complimenting Howard with joy.

The Spurs turned around, and Duncan returned one in the low post. After receiving the ball, he quickly started, facing the basket and breaking into the inside line, and made a throw with his left hand.

The Spurs' offense is very rhythmic and layered, methodical and not chaotic.

The feeling is that they can't make mistakes, you want to beat us, come on, play hard.

The Lakers made another mistake here. Kobe still wanted to lob the ball inside, this time to Pau Gasol.

As a result, Splitter saw through, the ball was knocked out, and the Spurs turned around and counterattacked.

The Spurs played a screen tactic on the left side. Leonard moved from the bottom line to the bottom line, blocked the defender with Duncan's screen, and then received a pass from Parker and made a three-pointer from the bottom corner!

At 10:2, Mike Brown called a timeout, and the team's opening state was problematic.

It's been several games, and the Lakers have always started off badly, especially when they want to open from the inside.

Howard's offense is too inefficient, and there is no way to have the proper connection with the outside line. The inside and outside cannot be combined, and the offense is particularly fragmented.

Gasol also has the same problem. In the past, those beautiful high and low post supports, behind-the-back passes, and high-post internal passes are becoming less and less.

Now he is being pulled to the high position to shoot more, or simply go to the inside to play hard, and his organizational talent has been buried.

When Brown called a timeout, not only what Li Liang once said crossed his mind, "Let Pau Gasol play as a substitute..."

Thinking about it now, what this kid said is really quite right, but how can I, a dignified NBA head coach, obey the command of a second-round pick?

Besides, the team has been winning, Brown has no reason to put Gasol on the bench.

During the timeout, Brown asked the team to shift the focus of offense, increase the speed of offense, and reduce unnecessary passes.

Of course, Brown's words are very cryptic, meaning that some passes are unnecessary, and the success rate must be played, and don't deliberately feed the ball to the inside.

Kobe Bryant's several times of leading outside pass and inside effect are not good, we still have to start playing from him.

Li Liang was interpreting for Brown and said to Kobe: "Boss, you play by yourself. The Spurs have played so many times, and I am most afraid of your mid-range shot. You pass the pass, you pass the wool. You’re done shooting by yourself! You don’t know how to pass the ball, so you have to do what you are good at. You see, if you make a pass error, Paul will help you take the blame.”

What Li Liang said to Mike Brown and other assistant coaches was frightening. How could he talk to Kobe? Are you as straightforward as you?

There is no way, Li Liang can do whatever he wants with a hair dryer, and what he said is indeed reasonable.

Superstars in the NBA are often spoiled. They have strong abilities and high salaries. Many fans are very popular. From the boss to the manager to the coach to the teammates to the fans, they are all coaxing him and lying to him. When there are mistakes and problems, they don’t speak directly. Instead, tell him in a detour.

From the beginning of the season to the present, some of the changes Kobe has made are indeed obvious. More organization, passing, and more selflessness have indeed worked.

So he has been praised by many people, who think that Kobe is changing and becoming greater.

But he is not very good at controlling this speed. The Lakers are a team that lacks the ability to attack the ball from outside, especially without Nash, there is not a decent attacker with the ball.

Therefore, sometimes the Lakers just need Kobe to hold the ball and do it alone, and they need him to make a big shot.

Naturally, a sycophant coach like Brown dare not say that. When he was in the Cavaliers, everyone watched the video together. James made a defensive error, and Brown didn’t say anything. In the end, another ordinary player had a defensive problem, and Brown criticized him. .

At that time, West of the Cavaliers couldn't stand it anymore, and told Brown that you should be fair and just, not partial to some people.

When it came to the Lakers, Brown was still the same. There was no way. The head coach was essentially a job. He knew his position in the team.

Li Liang is different. Anyway, he has something to say. The Spurs saw through Kobe's passing around at the beginning of the game.

The Lakers bench suddenly became a little silent, Kobe pouted, expressionless.

He wasn't angry, and it wasn't the first time Bruce Lee had been like this, and he got used to talking about it.

And what Bruce Lee said seems to make sense. Damn, a team like the Spurs, with this kind of defense, with a Splitter and a Duncan inside, it would be difficult for O'Neal to play, let alone Howard?

Okay, never mind, I'm going to do it myself!

Kobe made up his mind to increase his offense next.

On the other side of the Spurs' bench, the Spurs coach Popovich subconsciously glanced at this side. He seemed to have expected the Lakers' next strategy due to his experience.

But what can be done? After so many years, what can we do?
