Chapter 524 [Twists and turns, no light on the face]

In addition to the record, the coach's coaching ability can also be shown in some details.

People who are nimble and good at adapting on the spot have the potential to become super coaches.A person with a rigid mind, even if he knows more about tactics, will not be able to lead the team to win the championship.

Yang Rui sent Dior to strictly guard against three-point shooting, and also left Lamar Odom, who was in good condition, to defend Duncan from low post.

On the Spurs side, Popovich sent in Barry, Tinsley, and replaced Parker and Bowen, who had no physical strength.Mohamed inside the Spurs can't shoot three-pointers, can't maximize the space, and it's still difficult to create scoring opportunities just relying on pick-and-rolls.

Unfortunately, facing Ginobili's main defense, Kobe failed to score 50+ in the end, and Popovich arranged to double-team him, forcing him to pass the ball.The Spurs also failed to catch up with the score. The three-point bet on the outside failed. Only Duncan and Tinsley scored 4 points.

On the Lakers side, Diaw hit Mohamed in a dislocation, broke through and made a foul and made two free throws.He also launched a counterattack on the team's final attack, assisting Ariza for a layup.

132 to 124, the Lakers had the last laugh at home.

Yao Ming sat on the sidelines for a whole quarter and was not depressed because of it. Winning is more important than anything else.As soon as the final whistle sounded, he and his teammates walked onto the court to cheer and celebrate.

Zhang Lili sighed: "Yang Rui didn't use Yao Ming in the second overtime. He defended the perimeter against the Spurs' tactics. Today's tactical arrangement is very critical."

Yu Jia said: "The process has twists and turns, and this is the most exciting game of the season."

At the press conference, Popovich was full of praise for Yao Ming. "He's 7-foot-6 and has amazing shooting talent, and he's getting more outings now and he's a great player. He's discovered where he can be the most powerful. Although he didn't play in the second overtime, the buzzer he hit was the key to the Lakers' victory."

The reporter also asked Popovich to evaluate Yang Rui.

Popovich looked a little helpless: "He may be the best coach in history. Even if he is not now, he will be in the future, because he is young and enviable."

The Lakers "drug-addicting combination" and Yang Rui were the focus of the reporters' interviews.

Kobe first thanked Yao Ming. "Jerry said when he arranged the final attack that Yao was more likely to get a shot, and the opponent couldn't block the shot. I agree with this and I am willing to believe in Yao. Fortunately, he did not disappoint me. When he shot, my heart skipped a beat. It popped out of my throat."

The reporter asked: "Do you regret not getting 50 points?"

Kobe shook his head: "No, there are opportunities in the future, and winning is the key."

Yao Ming was very excited when he said his impression of hitting the equalizer. "I'll always remember that goal, one of the most important shots I've ever made in my life."

Yang Rui commented on the game: "This is not just a victory. We overwhelmed the Spurs in morale. I firmly believe that the Lakers will definitely win the next game. Losing in two overtimes is very demoralizing. And our team The players are younger and more energetic, and the Spurs’ important rotation inside is the veteran. In one day, Malone may not be able to rest, which will allow us to take the initiative.”

The reporter asked: "What chance do you think the Lakers have to eliminate the Spurs and make it to the Finals?"

"Now the Lakers are very popular. As long as they win the game and go away with a 2-0 advantage, the Spurs players will be under more psychological pressure. I firmly believe that the Lakers will win the championship. Don't forget, we won 71 games in the regular season!"

Yang Rui said this to increase the psychological pressure on the Spurs. Today, the Lakers won't be easy, and the Spurs will have a chance in the end.Facing media interviews, his performance is very relaxed, which will make the team's young players more dare to play.

今天莫威廉姆斯和迪奥都打的非常好，前者19分2助攻，后者12分6篮板4助攻。

After the game, the media reported the game, and most people were optimistic about the Lakers advancing to the finals.

After a day off, the second battle between the two sides started, but Yang Rui was slapped in the face.

The Spurs placed an iron barrel in the first half, reducing the Lakers' offensive efficiency, but the team's offense was even worse, trailing by 11 points.In the third quarter, both sides attached great importance to defense, and the Lakers continued to maintain the lead, 89 to 77 entering the distal quarter.

Then, Tony Parker suddenly broke out, broke through the pick-and-roll in positional battles, made a one-on-one breakthrough on the counterattack, scored consecutive points and attracted backup assists. Ginobili hit a three-pointer.The Spurs broke the zone defense and played a wave of 13 to 2 to catch up with the score.

Yao Ming unfortunately became a weak point. He was slow to defend and couldn't keep up with Parker's counterattack. "French Sports Car" was the fastest man in the field, and Mo Williams struggled to follow.

Yang Rui hurriedly replaced Yao Ming, sent a swingman lineup to limit breakthroughs, and Duncan carried the flag again.

When Yao Ming was there, Duncan pulled out to support him and made a jumper. Yao Ming took a shot, and the other insiders were single-handedly defending Duncan.

Kobe wanted to lead the team to stabilize the situation, but this game felt very bad. He hit 5 irons in a row and performed 9 of 2 shots in the fourth quarter.

The Spurs blossomed more, and finally won the game 113-109, and the total score was tied 1-1.

Yang Rui's face is dull, and he has to take the blame for the players, because he shouted the slogan of winning in an interview in the last game, and now he is slapped in the face.

Players are strong, and it is useless to arrange any tactics. What can the coach do if they can't make shots?The coach can't cast magic on the sidelines to add BUFF to them.

The only thing to be thankful for is that the Lakers fought their first game. If they lost two home games in a row, it would definitely be a dead end.

Now just by losing home-court advantage, many people think the Spurs have a better chance of qualifying.

The third game between the two sides is at the Spurs home.

Popovich made a surprise move, letting Barry start and Ginobili as a substitute.

首节姚名表现很好，8投6中，三分球2中1，罚球2中1，得到14分5篮板。

If it wasn't for Parker's outstanding performance, scoring 8 points and 3 assists in a single quarter, and assisting Bowen's three-pointer at the last minute, the Spurs would be behind by double digits.

The situation changed abruptly in the second quarter. Two breakthrough masters, Ginobili and Tinsley, led the team together, suppressing the Lakers' bench. Yang Rui's tried-and-true Odom and Rasheed combination failed to prevent the Spurs' counterattack. Two guards over.

At halftime, the Lakers were 49 points behind 62-13.

In the second half, the Spurs "GDP combination" showed their power, playing a wave of 14 to 3, widening the point difference.

In the last quarter, Yao Ming had no touch at all and was blocked by Duncan. Kobe took the offensive flag and hit three three-pointers. Unfortunately, he fell behind too much and failed to catch up.

99 to 112, the Lakers lost another game, trailing 1-2 on aggregate.

The game caused a lot of controversy on the Internet. Lakers fans were dissatisfied with the Spurs' home whistle, and some people suggested to investigate the referee, suspecting that the referee blew the black whistle.

科比23投13中，三分球9中4，罚球1中0，得到30分5篮板3助攻。联盟得分王整场居然就只有1次罚球，并且不是通过打2+1，而是马刺吃T，湖人罚球一次。

姚明20投10中，三分3中1，罚球2中1，得到22分9篮板2助攻，数据同样让人不敢相信。

The "drug combo" isn't shooting outside all the time. There are a lot of drives and empty cuts. It adds up to 3 free throws. Are you kidding me?

In fact, the Lakers made 17 free throws as a whole, but Odom played too shit, 11 of 2 shots, 8 of 3 free throws, 7 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists, and went undercover in the second half.

马刺一边罚球也不算多，只有23次，他们赢球靠的是“GDP组合”，邓肯22分21篮板5助攻，帕克20分3篮板7助攻，吉诺比利30分2篮板1助攻。

Regardless, the Lakers are in trouble.
