Ginobili and Kobe Bryant went head-to-head.
The reporters on the scene have already focused their cameras on these two people.
At this moment, the media seemed to have returned to more than ten years ago, when Kobe, who was still an explosive head, and Ginobili, who was still with long hair, also faced each other like this.
Time has passed, the most ruthless thing is the years, in a blink of an eye, both of them are old, this kind of showdown in the playoffs, who knows how long it will last.
The next time the Lakers and Spurs meet in the playoffs, I don't know what year or month it will be.
In fact, Qin Yan can answer this question, that is, there will be no drama for at least 5 years......
Ginobili guarded the ball, cautiously looking for possible breakthroughs.
Bryant let Ginobili take half a step, then spread his arms to block the route that Ginobili might break.
Ginobili dribbled for a while, then suddenly slammed into a cross-dribble in front of him, and Bryant felt someone coming up from behind his right.
"Huh? I want to block and dismantle. Kobe Bryant sneered in his heart, is this level of blocking useful in a duel between us?
Ginobili moved, and it seemed that he was going in the direction of the pick-and-roll, and Bryant also moved his feet quickly, ready to dodge the pick-and-roll.
It is estimated that when he was about to hit the block, Kobe Bryant made a very beautiful turn and swept past Dior who came to block and dismantle!
This dodge is beautiful, but the problem is that after Kobe flashed Dior, there was no one in front of him!
Ginobili!
Kobe Bryant subconsciously looked to the other side of his body, and he could only see a figure flashing from the other side of himself!
Ginobili!
It turned out that Ginobili didn't plan to use the block just now, and his and Dior's block and pick were just a cover.
After changing direction in front of the body, Ginobili looked like he wanted to break through from Dior, but when Kobe Bryant used that turn to get out of Dior, Ginobili directly accelerated and changed direction and killed directly from the other direction!
"Fooled!" Kobe Bryant reacted immediately, and then turned around to chase back!
"Bang-" At this time, Kobe Bryant suddenly found that Dior's classmate was strictly blocking his way back! It turns out that the role of Dior is this!
"Kobe, you can't get by." Dior also had the kung fu to go back and chat with Kobe.
"......" Kobe didn't speak, this time he was really fooled, Ginobili stepped into the interior with a serpentine step, although Howard wanted to guard him, but Ginobili has always been out of order, a realistic feint shook Howard jumped up, Ginobili simply scored a backhand layup.
"Back to the defense." Ginobili commands his teammates to return to defense, and now the Spurs are in this lineup, and it may be easy to say that offense is good, but defense is a big problem, and if you don't defend well, you may be beaten into a sieve.
Split was the worst because he faced Howard directly, and Howard, who was in good form today, asked for the ball directly, which put Split under a lot of pressure.
"Bend over! Squat down! Kata's waist eyes! "Dio has no way to support him because he has a young force to deal with, Jordan Hill. This guy is young and has good power and jumping, and Dio can't hold him down if he doesn't rely on experience.
Even so, Dio could only temporarily suppress his opponent, and as for freeing his hands to help Split, it was impossible, so he could only say help.
Split heard his brother's words and immediately bent down to get Howard ready.
But the guy's movements were not flexible enough, and before he could jam himself, Howard used a soul turn to get to the basket and then dunk to score.
"Don't be discouraged, just block it next time." Ginobili, Dior and others all came over to comfort Split, who looked a little remorseful.
Ginobili controlled the ball again, and this time, before he could get past half court, Kobe Bryant got entangled!
The whole court is pressing? Ginobili was a little depressed, Kobe, as for you, isn't it just past you, as for being so desperate, you have to fight back?
Of course, for Kobe, he is like this, he doesn't admit defeat, whoever is scored must return one, otherwise he will feel uncomfortable.
Since Kobe Bryant first entered the league when he was young, he has always been like this, even when facing Jordan back then, Kobe Bryant must return the color.
So Ginobili passed him just now, Kobe Bryant must fight back, otherwise it will be too faceless.
Ginobili was really not ready to be pressed by the whole court for a while, he was a little in a hurry at the time, and he was really stopped by Kobe Bryant in his own half for a while!
After all, Kobe's defense is also good, and it is normal for Ginobili to suffer.
"Smack!" Kobe Bryant broke the ball, the ball broke beautifully, and Ginobili had nothing to say, and then Kobe grabbed the ball and rushed to the basket with Ginobili on his shoulder!
Ginobili did not panic after being cut off, but immediately raised his hands high and directly blocked Kobe's side who was about to rush inside!
Kobe Bryant was blocked by Ginobili, and the original acceleration plan could not be realized, so he could only carry Ginobili to the inside line.
"Hey, Manu, you can't stop me like this!" Kobe Bryant was awakened by Ginobili's defense to memories many years ago, but he did not show mercy to his subordinates, but accelerated to the inside!
Of course, Ginobili knew that he couldn't stop Kobe Bryant, and he only hoped that someone could rush back to help.
Kobe Bryant will not give the Spurs this opportunity, squeeze two more steps to the inside, directly reach out, a pull-up backhand layup, avoid Ginobili's block and score the ball!
"Now we're even." Kobe Bryant nodded at Ginobili after seeing the ball scored, he actually just cared about the record with the opponent......
Ginobili also smiled, the two played against not only Kobe Bryant just now, Ginobili also remembered the old days, when the two of them were still in their prime, they had played each other like this in the playoffs.
In a blink of an eye, they are all old.
Although the Spurs' bench is very ferocious, the three main players of the Lakers are not dry, and the two teams come and go, and they are very happy.
In particular, the Spurs have been fighting with them all the time, consuming a lot of their physical strength.
But the Lakers' will not to lose made them stick to it, and even wanted to turn over and suppress the Spurs at one point, but the Spurs' benches tried their best, biting the score to the death, and did not let the point difference be pulled away, and then Popovich replaced again when the three main players of the Lakers were a little tired.
Of course, this substitution, the Lakers will suffer immediately, although Kobe Bryant and others want to stay on the court despite their fatigue, but the physical fatigue cannot be changed, especially Qin Yan, Duncan Parker and the like are slow-heating types, and they have just warmed up after resting off the court for so long, and they are full of firepower as soon as they come up!
The Lakers' hard-fought point difference has finally been pulled away! Although it didn't reach double digits, the 7-8 point difference was not easy for the Lakers to chase!
And this pull was directly maintained until the half and the third quarter!
and the first quarter of the Lakers' lead, it is completely two extremes!
The Spurs are only one fourth quarter away from advancement!
