In the final quarter, the scores of the two sides rose alternately, and they couldn't prevent each other. The Lakers relied on Guo Xu to attract the ball and share the ball to lead the whole team, and the Spurs relied on the inside twin towers and Leonard.

In the second half, commentators praised Pau Gasol, who was still very efficient, could play alone and play offense, and was the most consistent of the Spurs' interior on the defensive end.

People used to talk about the No. 21 rookie, but Duncan, who is 40 years old, is really old, and his shooting percentage has dropped significantly, shooting only 42% in this year's playoffs, scoring 5.5 points. He averaged 18+11 per game in the playoffs last year, and this year he scored 2 points in the first round and 0 points in one game, so he can't joke about playing dead in the regular season.

On the defensive end, Duncan's movement speed is too slow, and when Guo Xu is resting, he can play positional battles, and Guo Xu launches a run bombardment, so he is not suitable for the court.

The overall speed of the Spurs is not as good as the Lakers, and the star ability is not as good as Guo Xu.

The biggest weakness is the poor defense of the center, Nurkic is too slow, Horford is thin and mainly plays power forward, Thackeray is more suitable to throw a towel on the sidelines in the playoffs, and Bonner is not in the playoff squad.

Thackeray is a free agent after this season, and it is impossible for Lakers management to renew his contract, his strength can be a marginal man in the regular season, and he can't keep up with the rhythm on the offensive end of the playoffs.

The Lakers' center position will have to be changed this summer, and even if they don't trade, Nurkic will be the only one left.

The second weakness is that the Lakers have too many young players and are in a very inconsistent state, with Booker, Josh Richardson, Seth Curry, and Harrell all prone to mistakes. Nurkic, who has made star numbers in this year's playoffs, is only in his second season of career.

The strength of most teams in the regular season can't be compared with the Lakers, just defending Guo Xu has racked his brains, and the young players play the wind and have less responsibility, and they perform well. Entering the playoffs, they had to give Guo Xu more support, and they were a little uncomfortable after the intensity of the confrontation increased.

Especially Curry Jr. and Richardson, who are light in weight and have poor confrontation, can only be responsible for throwing three-pointers, and the defensive end is easy to be targeted by opponents and attack them at this point. The coaching staff has no good way to adjust and can only reduce their playing time.

Under the leadership of Vicky, the Spurs are particularly good at attacking opponents' weaknesses, and when Bowen was there, he could stretch out his feet and pad one without weaknesses......

In short, the competition in the west is very fierce, and even if Guo Xu leads the team, he can't easily beat the Spurs in the second round. The score remained deadlocked until the last two minutes, and the two sides fought to a 113-all draw.

Guo Xu has scored 43 points, 11 assists and 2 steals, and is the best player in the game. The Spurs were successful in his defense, and the role players played mediocre, wasting a lot of Guo Xu's passes.

The Lakers have no reservations, and Horford has played 37 minutes today, which is well above his average playing time. Defensive black hole Boozer and inexperienced Harrell in the No. 4 position will also not be able to play. Harrell played five minutes in the second quarter and scored just two points.

The Lakers had the ball, and Tyrone Lue called a timeout to arrange the tactics, asking the players to help Guo Xu create a chance next, and he would shoot all the balls. At this time, star tactics are the best tactics.

At the critical moment, Tyrone Lue sent Robertson, Tucker, and the Lakers couldn't relax their defense.

Tucker has played 35 minutes, he has only played five seasons in the NBA, but this year he is 31 years old and playing solidly.

The veteran Carter was also sent on the court in the final moments, and Booker served as the bench, which is the trust of the coaching staff in the veteran.

The center is Horford, and Tyrone Lue is still based on infinite rotation defense, leaving only one person on the inside. This is actually to lead the opponent to attack the penalty area and score two points.

The TNT commentator talked about the core of both teams. "Jason was smiling all the time and didn't seem to be panicking at all," Smith said. I'm optimistic that the Lakers get off to a good start, and when he struggles for his individual ability in the final quarter, he rarely disappoints. ”

Barkley analyzed: "I think the Spurs still have to rely on the whole, they lack a super scorer who can take everyone alone, Robertson came up, and it was not a good idea to let Leonard single at this time. ”

Guo Xu is very emotionally stable now, he doesn't feel too much pressure, and he doesn't have any special thoughts. He just intends to use his skills and experience to see the tricks, and he has absolute confidence in his personal ability.

The Spurs also have a player who is not panicked at all, and that is Leonard, who is still expressionless at the end of the game.

When discussing Leonard online, fans felt that the core of the Spurs should be like this, and no one was more suitable to be Duncan's successor than him. In fact, he is different from Duncan, who is paralyzed most of the time, but occasionally has a particularly rich expression and contributes various memes.

The game continued, the Lakers attacked first, and Guo Xu was caught as soon as he passed the half, and passed the ball to Horford, who was pulled to the outside. Leonard rotated to make up for it, and Horford passed the ball to Carter, who was open in the left corner.

Carter had just come on the court, but the Spurs players didn't dare to let him go, and Gasol saved to prevent a three-pointer. Carter duffled a shot to the basket and passed to the basket, Roberson cut to the basket from the right side, and scored a backhand basket in the open position. 115 to 113.

This cooperation did not play according to the tactics arranged by Tyrone Lu, but Guo Xu excitedly applauded his teammates a few times.

will be outside, and the king's order can not be accepted.

Carter's choice for this round was very correct, playing on the veteran's experience. Roberson played well, he didn't have range, and he could still score when he got to the basket.

The Spurs attacked, and the ball was given to Ade, because the man who defended him was Tucker, which looked like a clear misalignment.

Tucker's non-stop close-fitting made it impossible for Ade to receive the ball easily with his face. After he received the ball with his back, Tucker pushed him away from the box as much as possible.

How hard is Tucker? He was completely unafraid of an opponent who was a head taller than him, and his legs were like nails to the ground. He didn't get a big contract because he was short, but his defensive ability was seriously underrated.

Ade turned and made a jumper from a position far from the basket, and Tucker followed him close to him, disrupting the rhythm of the shot and deflecting the ball. The intensity of the playoff confrontation has increased, and Tucker is so much shorter, that the referee can't blow him for a defensive foul just because he's leaning into someone's arms.

Ade has a flaw in that his career playoff performance is inferior to that of the regular season, shooting just 45 percent from the field. He's probably one of the softest interior players in the league, and his shooting percentage drops when he encounters confrontations.

Robertson grabbed the backcourt rebound and passed to Carter, and Carter passed to Guo Xu, and at this time, the point guard on the Spurs court was Mills, who was 183CM tall, and was pushed away by Guo Xu.

Guo Xu took the ball and turned around to play a fast break alone, and made an easy layup before Green came up to make up for it. 117 to 113.

Vicky doesn't need Parker because he can't run anymore and is easy to get out of the air from beyond the three-point line. Mills is better at shooting three-pointers and is very fast, but his confrontation ability is average, and as long as Guo Xu does not use the "iron mountain leaning" when he is stuck in the counterattack, the referee will not blow a foul.

The Spurs attacked, and after passing twice, Leonard gave Ade a drop ball and forced the inside. In this round, Ade looked tougher and went into the penalty area. At this moment, if you don't want to attack for three seconds, the ball has to be passed to him as soon as possible.

As a result, as soon as Leonard's ball was shot, Tucker quickly completed the front circle, and Ade, who was squeezed with his back, couldn't jump, so he jumped up and dialed the ball to Robertson, who was closer, with one hand.

Robertson looked for Guo Xu as soon as he passed, but Mills didn't dare to be close, for fear of being easily pushed away. Guo Xu single-handedly fast-breaking, two meters outside the three-point line on the right side, suddenly stopped and shot three points, facing Mills.

The difference widened......
