The off-court highlights are just highlights.
As soon as the 2-minute break passed, the second quarter began.
As expected, the only players the Spurs played in the second quarter were Kawhi Leonard and Danny Green, who were among the starting five. Aldridge, who only played 3 minutes in the first quarter, was on the court. It seemed that he He was the main force in the second quarter.
It was also Popovich's special move to adjust the Spurs' rhythm.
When Aldridge was young, he could directly compete with Kobe, and then defeated Kobe's super player several times.
Although he is 31 years old, his strength is still there and he can be regarded as a powerful scorer for the Spurs today.
Among the starting players of the Lakers, Kobe Bryant, who played the last 3 minutes of the first quarter, retired, Iverson and Shen Huan both came up, and Nick Young and Royce Williams stepped up. The last candidate is Clarkson, but did not choose backup center Robert Sabre.
Because although the Spurs sent out substitute center Boris Diaw, this substitute center who only started 4 games in the regular season and averaged 6.4 points per game is not a scoring material at all.
Without Duncan's main defense, Shen Huan alone can defeat him.
Without Duncan at the beginning of the second quarter, Shen Huan's breakthroughs and shooting became even sharper.
Neither Aldridge nor Danny Green could stop Shen Huan.
Borisdio was even more pitiful. Within 6 minutes, he was dunked twice by Shen Huan and knocked away once. Every duel with Shen Huan failed. He was so frightened that his face turned pale. Seeing Shen Huan, he was stunned. A little shaky.
While attacking and seizing territory, Shen Huan also displayed his power in defense.
Only then did everyone realize how great Duncan and Ginobili were just now.
Shen Huan stole 3 times in the first 6 minutes of the second quarter, grabbed 7 backcourt rebounds, and blocked 5 shots, which made Aldridge doubt his life.
Aldridge is also a believer in evil.
Since Shen Huan blocked every shot, he came towards Shen Huan every time without passing the ball or avoiding it.
This allowed Shen Huan to demonstrate his defensive comprehensiveness very well, which made the audience excited.
The audience enjoyed it, but Popovich couldn't stand it.
Because after 6 minutes, the score on the court had become 45 points: 29 points.
The Lakers played a 13:2 spurt!
Shen Huan, who owns a professional basketball player (historical level), is so awesome! !
He had no choice but to send Duncan and Ginobili up to continue to put pressure on Shen Huan.
But at this time, the momentum of the Lakers was already showing. Kobe, who took over for Iverson, while Shen Huan was closely guarded, launched a series of impact shots, hitting 3 of 5 in one breath!
Lou Williams also hit a three-pointer and passed a ball to Shen Huan, allowing Shen Huan to knock Ginobili away again and score a layup.
Seeing Ginobili lying on the ground and moaning, the Spurs players were very sad.
They all saw clearly that it was Ginobili who blocked Shen Huan's shooting path, and was knocked away by Shen Huan.
This time Shen Huan did not commit a foul, it was just a physical confrontation. Ginobili lost to Shen Huan.
Moreover, he was too old. Although he had rested for 8 minutes in total, his muscles, bones and movements were still unable to recover properly, and he was injured when he fell to the ground.
Fortunately, Ginobili protected himself well. He just went down and tied a bandage, then came back to pester Shen Huan.
Even Shen Huan admired this man a little.
Even if he was knocked away by himself, even if he was elbowed so many times, Ginobili was still so tough and kept disturbing Shen Huan with various small moves.
Shen Huan elbowed him repeatedly, and this was the reason.
There was even one time when Ginobili rushed to the next lane. Shen Huan was so frightened that she had to elbow the guy again.
If you dare to touch my vitals, my little Shuishui can tear you apart, believe it or not
Whether it was the first quarter or this second quarter, it was precisely because Ginobili was so annoying and Duncan's defense at the basket that Shen Huan's score was so low.
But there are gains and losses.
Just because the two of them restricted Shen Huan to death, they no longer had any energy to attack.
Without the scheduling and rhythm control of the two big guys, can the Spurs play well
Of course not.
Unless Aldridge, Kawhi Leonard and Danny Green are on the court together.
But they are all on the court, so does the second team only have Tony Parker to support it
Definitely not!
Because Shen Huan's physical strength was enough to support him running rampant on the court for 48 minutes.
So the Spurs have no choice!
Amidst this contradiction and pain, they just watched Shen Huan play frantically for 48 minutes alone.
Duncan went down after the third quarter and never came back.
Being able to hold Shen Huan up and fight for about 23 minutes was already his limit, and he was so exhausted that he had no strength at all.
As for Ginobili, he committed six fouls and was sent off before the second quarter was over.
From this we can also see how much pressure Duncan was under in the third quarter.
So the score, which was originally within 15 points, was further increased in the fourth quarter.
Even Aldridge's crazy shooting couldn't wipe out Shen Huan's scores again and again.
Finally, when the final whistle sounded, the Lakers swept the Spurs with a 27-point advantage, 117:90, and won the first game.
"Oh my god! This game was unexpectedly exciting!" Barkley, a loudmouth, burst out at the end of the game. "Duncan and Ginobili's desperate defense made Shen Huan's offense fragmented. It was far less smooth than before. But even so, Shen Huan was not defeated by the two of them.
With abundant physical strength, Shen Huan played the game for 48 minutes in one breath, and it seemed that there was still room for improvement. He also relied on the time when Duncan and Ginobili were off the court to crazyly demonstrate his strength on both offense and defense! He let people know that there is no difference at all between opening up the Spurs and attacking the Trail Blazers without a superstar on defense! "
Kenny Smith also said: "We would like to congratulate the Lakers for their victory! Until they figure out how to deal with Shen Huan, no matter what the Spurs do, it will be ineffective!
Facing such a player who is currently the most powerful player in the league, how to restrain him and how to play a good offense are all issues that future opponents of the Lakers should consider! "
Barkley and Kenny Smith were definitely not praising Shen Huan randomly.
Shen Huan scored a high score of 47 points, 17 assists, 18 rebounds, 33 steals and 11 blocks.
33 steals!
This mad dog-like tackling spirit simply made Ginobili stunned.
It was hard for him to believe that a player who was so entangled with him could actually have such good physical strength to complete so many aspects.
For a time, Ginobili had very subtle worries about the Spurs' future.
Although he was very tired all the time, Duncan, who kept his eyes on Shen Huan for observation, also had a very solemn expression.
A superstar like him could see Shen Huan's strength.
He is even scarier than Iverson in his prime.
This is true whether it is physical strength or the will to fight.
Compared to Kobe, who had a first-class fighting spirit, Shen Huan had more passes, assists and blocks.
In fact, Shen Huan is more like Duncan himself at his peak 15 years ago, but his shooting is more accurate than Duncan and his strength is stronger than Duncan - Duncan knows that he will never be able to lift Davis with one hand.
Tell me, what should you do with such an opponent
If it were 15 years ago, or even 10 years ago, Duncan would have tried his best to win over Shen Huan one-on-one.
But at this age, even if he wanted to, it was beyond his capabilities!
So Duncan feels a bit like a late hero now.
It seems that I should be eliminated by history!
