The Lakers changed three starters, which was the result of discussions between Yang Rui and the assistant coaches, wanting to maximize the offensive power, open up space, and the defensive method has also changed from joint defense to man-marking.

Assistant coach Hollins has a lot of complaints about this, he is a defensive coach who has not been able to change his mind, hoping to strengthen the offense while maintaining the defense. Hojberg and Jones started the game, and their individual defense ability was much worse.

Yang Rui explained his idea and sent pitchers to make the "drug combination" play better. The Lakers won several big wins in the regular season, and Iguodala played as a substitute, and the Lakers' offensive opponents couldn't defend at all.

And the Spurs put Ginobili off the bench, and the Lakers should save Iguodala's physical strength and strengthen their defense in the second quarter.

With data as an example, Hollins can't help it.

Odom's starting mobility and ability to control rebounds are better than Rashid's, so he started so that when Duncan catches the ball on the side, Yao Ming can also follow out to interfere.

Yang Rui found that Yao Ming's defense of Duncan was more efficient than others, and he would no longer let the short man defend Duncan inside.

In his previous life, Duncan was able to beat Jordan Jr. in the 2015 playoffs with a low back to cut 20+10, and if he wanted to limit his jump shot, he had to interfere with the big man. Duncan may have carried the ball past Yao Ming, but that is not his strong point, and it is tantamount to disrupting the rhythm of the offense.

Spurs starters: Parker, Barry, Bowen, Duncan, Muhammad.

Popovich felt that Parker also relied on breakthrough offense, and Ginobili overlapped a little, and wanted to maximize the breakthrough ability of the two, so he split the playing time, so that Ginobili could save some physical strength.

There are pros and cons to doing so, and the Lakers can have a lot easier defensively.

Duncan jumped the ball to win, the Spurs attacked first, and the players had their hands on it. Kobe Bryant defends Parker, Jones stares at Barry, Hojberg defends Bowen, Odom defends Muhammad, and Yao Ming defends Duncan, with the heaviest task.

The Spurs players pulled away, Duncan and Parker played blocking and dismantling in the middle, Yao Ming was one and a half steps away, and he couldn't prevent the breakout, Parker forced a breakthrough, and relied on his speed to change direction and go right to pass Yao Ming.

Odom let go of Muhammad's basket defense, and in the previous two games, Lakers players also often let Muhammad go short, which is the Spurs' weakest offensive point.

Parker knew what level his teammates were shooting, and he couldn't pass far from the basket, so he threw the ball high with his right hand on the run, dodged Odom's block, and the ball landed accurately into the basket. 0 to 2.

Everyone in the GDP combination has their own tricks, Duncan wipes, Ginobili European step, and Parker's trick is throwing, he has an unparalleled throwing touch, can often score in the box, and is one of the most point guards in the box.

For this kind of ball, Yang Rui will not criticize the players, do his best, and the defense is in place.

The Lakers attacked, Jones took the ball to the front court and passed to Kobe, and then ran to the left side, Hojberg went to the bottom corner on the right side, Odom was 70 degrees on the right side, all pulled away, and Yao Ming covered Kobe Bryant outside the three-point line.

Kobe Bryant broke through on the left side, shook off Bowen at full speed to the baseline, and distanced himself from Yao Ming. Duncan saw that Kobe Bryant had thrown Bowen away and hurried to follow.

Bryant couldn't break directly to the basket, dribbled under the crotch and took a step back with his right hand to open up the distance with Duncan, attracting Bowen to chase after him at 45 degrees, and quickly transferred the ball to the middle.

In the previous game, Yao Ming would cut to the basket or take a step inside the three-point line to catch the ball in the high post, and the receiving position he chose gave Duncan the possibility to catch up, and now he is standing outside the three-point line and waiting for the ball to be returned, which is farther away from Duncan.

Yao Ming was well prepared and immediately shot, Duncan pounced for slight interference, did not jump, the ball was thrown very positively, and he hit the basket! 3 to 2.

The fans were boiling, and Yao Ming scored three points, which attracted fans more than his dunks. There are many people who are more beautiful than Yao Ming's dunks, and people who are taller than Yao Ming and can shoot three-pointers, there is no one on this earth, and scarcity is expensive.

The Spurs offense and then blocked and dismantled, and it was two big men who defended Parker together, he passed the ball to the middle, and Duncan faced Kobe Bryant with a height advantage, and did not shoot, but held high and watched his teammates run.

On the side, Muhammad gave Barry no ball cover, the ball passed, Odor pounced to defend and interfered with the shot, the ball was deflected, and Yao Ming grabbed the rebound.

Yang Rui took the lead on the sidelines to applaud Odom, this kind of defense will not add data to Odom, the role is very critical, Rashid did not start, just because the speed of this kind of ball is not as fast as Odom.

If the Spurs are allowed to shoot three-pointers, the Lakers will not be able to win, and defending three-pointers is more critical than defending Duncan.

In Yang Rui's previous life, many people were dissatisfied with the development trend of the NBA, saying that the game had become a game for players to shoot three-pointers, which was not as enthusiastic as the original and not good-looking.

The reason why it became like this is because those teams that are hot-blooded and rely on strong offense under the basket are forced to transform by the three-point team.

Everyone understands that three-point shooting is more efficient than a two-point jumper and a strong shot in the low post. As long as they can defend in the future, players who shoot more than 40% from three-point range will not have to worry about finding a job, and all teams will welcome them and get more playing time.

The interior line has also been forced to change, and the stumbling centers such as Ostertag and Jerome James have gradually disappeared, and the interior line with strong mobility and good at defending three-point points has become very popular.

Pure blue-collar workers like Tristan Thompson and Bi Yongbo can get an annual salary of 20 million yuan in the future by relying on their blocking and pick-and-roll ability and grabbing a few frontcourt rebounds, which is unthinkable in this era.

From this point of view, Odom is really a pity, if he enters the NBA 10 years later, he will definitely become an All-Star and receive high praise. Not only can he defend pick-and-rolls, grab rebounds, but he can also shoot three-pointers and organize passes.

The Lakers attacked the position, the three of them pulled away, Kobe Bryant took the low post after blocking and dismantling, Yao Ming did not cut in the air, and waited for opportunities outside the three-point line.

Duncan followed Kobe Bryant away from Yao Ming, and Bowen didn't chase the defense anymore, and it was not okay to always let Yao Ming shoot easily.

Kobe Bryant observed the situation on the court with his peripheral vision, calmly singled at 45 degrees, dribbled to his left hand, took a step towards the bottom line, gently probed his shoulder, and attracted Duncan to move sideways, he quickly dribbled behind his back to change direction with his right hand to the middle, and walked three steps to the basket with Duncan, and pulled the basketball into the basket. 5 to 2.

Even Duncan couldn't defend Kobe Bryant one-on-one. This is a misalignment, Kobe Bryant plays a lot of inside breakthrough tricks, layups can make feints in the air, and Duncan can't cover it if he turns a little slower.

Popovich was a little upset on the sidelines and yelled at Bowen twice, asking him to be more aggressive in getting around the screen. Kobe Bryant just scored well, but if he forced a foul, put Duncan in foul trouble, and reduced playing time, the Spurs would not be able to play.

The Spurs attacked, Parker continued to play with Duncan, but still couldn't easily get rid of the layup, he passed to Barry, Hojberg bypassed the cover to catch up, and Barry dribbled a step and passed to Duncan.

Duncan responded in the middle, and then passed to Parker who ran out of position, and Bryant ran to keep up with Parker.

After a few passes, seeing that the 24 seconds were about to run out, Barry forced Hoiberg, made a one-step pull-up jump shot, missed under interference, and the rebound was obtained by Yao Ming.

Popovich frowned, realizing that the Spurs' offensive routine had been adapted to by the Lakers. The weakness of this lineup is that there are only two offensive points with the ball in Parker and Duncan, and it is easy to make targeted defenses. The Lakers' two weaker defenders to target players with weak offense won't be a hole.
