Chapter 359 Four Yang Transformation Into Four Irons (Fifth Update!)
The Spurs took the lead.
In the Lakers' offense, Nash gave Myers a sudden point, and the latter seized the opportunity to hit a three-pointer.
In this defense and one offense, Miles fully embodies his value.
But as soon as he made a three-pointer, he got fouled when defending Leonard's air cut when he came back.
His offense and defense are above the league average, but he is not good at controlling fouls.
In the offense of the Lakers, Howard played Splitter behind the basket.
Splitter is much tougher than Howard imagined.
And Howard's back hit still looks as rough as before, straight up and down, and the ball bounced out of the basket.
Splitter grabs another defensive rebound.
The Spurs didn't push for a fast break either. Parker went to the frontcourt and signaled to continue hitting the Zip Hammer. Tang Tian made a three-pointer with the ball.
"Shua!"
He met Artest's belated help defense shot and hit.
The Spurs lead 5-3.
"Speed! Speed!"
D'Antoni got up to the sidelines at this time, waved his hands and shouted at his teammates on the court.
In such a battle with the Spurs, the Lakers' advantage can't be played out at all.
Nash began to speed up, and Kobe caught the ball out of the frontcourt and shot.
Tang Tian put pressure on the ball.
However, Kobe's iconic fadeaway still won him room to shoot.
Compared with the regular season, the defensive pressure he received is really not that great.
The ball is released, and the posture is picturesque.
"boom!"
The basketball bounced out of the hoop again!
Tang Tian was stunned for a moment.
These two balls, to be honest, Kobe couldn't get used to it because he accelerated his shot speed, and he didn't do a good job defending.
But Kobe hit the iron twice in a row!
This can only show one thing, Kobe didn't feel good in this game.
The Spurs failed to score in the frontcourt, and the Lakers played fast breaks directly.
Kobe received a long pass from Nash in the fast break and chased for a three-pointer.
It was also his third shot of the quarter.
The chances are good.
"boom!"
It's a pity that the basketball still jumped out of the basket!
Tang Tian's judgment was right. Kobe's hand feeling tonight was not bad, but rather cold!
After the Spurs took the rebound, they began to slow down and press the position.
This time Duncan turned and hit Artest's shot.
The Spurs lead 8-3.
Nash seized the opportunity of the Spurs' defensive miss in the frontcourt and passed the ball to Artest for a layup.
At this time, Popovich walked to the sidelines and yelled at the players.
Obviously he was very dissatisfied with the defense just this round.
Parker's throw was interfered by Howard and missed, and Howard protected the defensive rebound.
The two teams played for more than four minutes, and the score on the court was 8-5.
Compared with the last time the two teams played against each other, the strength of the Lakers has indeed improved significantly.
However, the Lakers attacked the frontcourt again, and the Spurs' defensive strength on the field became obvious.
There is no defensive loss, and the defensive pressure on Nash, Kobe and Howard is also particularly high.
Popovich's roar had an immediate effect.
Without a chance, Kobe directly relied on Tang Tian to reach out to force him.
Nash puts the ball in.
Tang Tian put pressure on him this time.
He didn't get used to the previous kind of moving and hitting him, but he can still do this kind of one-on-one.
Kobe's frontal breakthrough was blocked by Tang Tian, and his back turn was also blocked. When he was about to be forced to stop, he chose to forcibly lean back and shoot.
At this moment, Tang Tian stretched out his hand almost to his face.
Kobe raised the arc of his shot, which was really forced.
"boom!"
The basketball hit the frame again.
Four signature fadeaways.
Four familiar sounds of iron strikes.
This is the four Yang Hua four iron ah!
Perhaps it was to prove that Tang Tian's speeches during the award presentation were true, and he proved it with his actions!
Kobe Bryant's operation, Tang Tian unconsciously appeared the figure of Kobe Bryant's daughter.
If he remembered correctly, Kobe should have given birth to 4 daughters in a row in his previous life, and the fourth one was forcibly shot.
This is really God's will in the dark.
The Lakers were able to score 5-8 with the Spurs in the opening game, which shows that their offensive and defensive conditions are not bad, but Kobe's touch tonight is really bad.
After the whole game, he took 30 shots, but only scored 7 goals and hit 23 irons, one iron more than in the regular season.
Without Kobe's output, the Lakers looked weak on the offensive end.
They also ended up losing 86-103.
Duncan had 18 points, 11 rebounds and 3 blocks, Ginobili had 15 points, Parker had 13 points and 11 assists, Leonard had 12 points, 5 rebounds and 3 steals, and Diaw had 10 points.
Six of the Spurs scored in double figures.
Tang Tian felt good tonight. He made 6 of 8 shots from beyond the three-point line and scored a team-high 20 points, plus 4 assists, 2 steals and 1 block.
After the game, as the best player of the game, he was interviewed by Seg on the sidelines.
Saiger is a well-known reporter in the NBA, because he always likes to wear some colorful clothes, and he is Popovich's queen teasing target.
However, Tang Tian respected this kind of name very much, and he didn't want to have any negative influence on himself at this juncture.
"Don, first of all congratulations on winning the best defensive player."
Saige was still very polite. He didn't ask any questions at first, so he congratulated Tang Tian first.
"Thank you, your clothes tonight are also very fashionable."
Tang Tian also had a wave of business bragging.
Saige was amused by Tang Tian and laughed.
"You defended Kobe tonight very well, how did you do it?"
After Sager finished his courtesy, he asked again.
How did he defend Kobe tonight?
This, he didn't defend much!
Even because of the change in Kobe's shot speed, his defense tonight is actually not perfect compared to the past.
How to answer this.
"No, my defense is mediocre. It's just that Kobe didn't feel good tonight."
Tang Tian chose to tell the truth.
After hearing what Tang Tian said, Saige gave him a thumbs up and gave him a very appreciative look.
modesty!
Young people are so humble!
Tang Tian was a little embarrassed, Sege really misunderstood what he meant.
But at this time, it seems that there is no use in explaining it.
He simply didn't bother to explain.
Tang Tian was too lazy to explain, but the ESPN news report after the game made him dumbfounded.
"Most humble best defensive player, best defender."
This news headline makes people want to complain.
"He defended Kobe in the Western Conference semifinals with 7 of 30 shots, but he modestly said that his defense still has room for improvement, and said that it was just because Kobe didn't feel good. When a second-year rookie can have such a mentality, he The future is worth looking forward to…”
Looking at the content of the news report, Tang Tian could only smile wryly and shake his head.
This was really the first time he encountered such a situation.
It also prevents people from telling the truth.
It made him seem really humble!
Although he is indeed relatively low-key, but this time he really didn't want to deliberately low-key!
ps: Ask for a monthly pass!
