Chapter 734 Bobo Knows the Art of War

But don't underestimate this point. This is the first time the Spurs have led the Lakers, and this go-ahead goal came from someone whom the commentators and fans were not optimistic about.

Uduka!

It was he who picked up the rebound at the end of the first quarter and then scored on a throw, allowing the Spurs to take the lead into the interval.

The goal was also praised by the San Antonio media, who believed that Udoka had lived up to Popovich's trust in him.

"As we all know, it is not easy to get a rebound above Ji Feng's head. Uduka did it, and it is worth noting that Ji Feng looked a little tired!" the local commentator in St. Anthony said in the live broadcast room.

His tone was filled with excitement, trembling, and even a hint of disbelief.

Ji Feng was actually tired. He didn't notice where the basketball landed at the end, so Uduka next to him missed it. This would be considered a normal minor mistake for others, but It's different when it comes to Ji Feng.

Because Ji Feng has a strong ability to protect rebounds, he can always judge the basketball's landing point and position it in advance. As we all know, the most important thing in grabbing rebounds is to be in the main position rather than being taller and stronger. As long as the position is blocked, it will be difficult for others to fight for it. rebounds, and Ji Feng is a master of positioning.

But the season peak is slow!

This is a sign that Ji Feng is really tired!

Ji Feng also knew that the goal was his fault. He took the initiative to reach out to his teammates. Because of the previous physical exertion, he was indeed a little careless.

"Good job, take a good rest in the second quarter." Popovich patted Uduka's butt and said, looking at Uduka who was sweating and panting.

Defending Ji Feng was never easy. Now Yuduka felt like he was fished out of the water. He was the man who followed Ji Feng desperately for 12 minutes, and Ji Feng did not sit still during these 12 minutes. .

Ji Feng made 3 of 5 in the first quarter, as well as 3 free throws and a three-pointer. He scored 10 points, 5 assists and 4 rebounds. The statistics were very good.

But Pop was very satisfied with Uduka's hard work. Although he suffered a few fouls, this is what a Spurs player should be like in his heart.

You just have to fight!

And regardless of Ji Feng's current scoring data, Bobo knows in his heart that Ji Feng consumes a lot of physical energy. Although Uduka is obviously more tired, the effect is fully achieved. He is not worth anything anyway, and there are a group of people off the court. There is no one who can replace him, but there is no one who can replace Ji Feng in the Lakers!

This is why Bobo started Uduka!

He wants to fight a fierce war of attrition with the Lakers and Ji Feng!

Now it can be said that we have achieved initial results!

And in the second quarter, he has a new weapon!

"It's not bad!" Zen Master patted Ji Feng's shoulder. This was probably the first quarter in which Ji Feng was the most tiring, and the defense he encountered was also the most uncomfortable. Those who had been there before would not have done it in the first quarter. Such a desperate effort regardless of physical strength.

"No problem!" Ji Feng said slowly. He also understood Bobo's intention. This guy Uduka came to him to expose himself. When he was tired, Bobo used Bowen and Horry to defend him. .

I have to say, this idea is really good.

However, Ji Feng is not so easy to be completely consumed, nor is he so easy to be targeted. Since you want to come, Ji Feng will be with you at any time!

But Ji Feng really needs a break...

In fact, after the analysis of hindsight commentators, Pop's three moves were all targeted. He used Manu to compete with Kobe and attract Kobe's defensive attention. He first used Bonner inside to open up space and create opportunities for the two outside players. By the way, increase the outside shooting range, then use Duncan to come up as your inside substitute, and add Uduka to target Ji Feng.

Three consecutive hits, each hit the mark.

Popovich is indeed not something ordinary people can see through.

"Udoka performed very well and completed his role." Barkley said.

He and Smith jointly awarded the first-quarter surprise to Uduka. This player who tried out with the Lakers in 2004 went through many changes and was later hired by the Spurs. He finally repaid their trust in the playoffs.

In fact, if you study this person, you will find that although his overall quality is mediocre and his offense has no outstanding characteristics, his biggest advantage is his nubuck-style defense.

He has always been good at defense. During the regular season, Bobo used him to defend the opponent's top players during his substitute time, which produced pretty good results.

It's just that he doesn't have much fame in the Spurs.

But through this quarter, he made many fans realize that he can really run.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Ji Feng sat on the bench, Vujacic came on as a substitute, and Kobe came on with Farmar, Turiaf, and Mbenga.

The Spurs thought about Udoka and Bonner's role. They replaced Duncan on the inside, Bowen on the outside, plus Finley, Barry and Stoudemire on the inside.

Then the Spurs' advantage came instantly!

For the first goal, Barry passed to Duncan, who hit him with a back-up inside, knocking Turiaf into confusion. Although Duncan didn't look strong, his physical confrontation ability was really strong. A black man like Turiaf The strong man just can't hit him!

The point difference widened to 3 points!

Then came Finley's defense against Kobe. After practicing for a while, Finley was full of energy and followed Kobe to the letter.

Kobe forced a breakthrough, and the Spurs instantly double-teamed three people. Kobe failed to score, and the Spurs counterattacked!

Finley assisted Barry and scored two points!

Here Kobe breaks through, double-teams and then distributes the ball. As a result, Vujacic is restricted by Bowen on the wing. He is about to force a breakthrough but Bowen directly blocks him. With only 6 seconds left, he throws the ball to Kobe. Kobe can only Strong shot and two points!

The ball goes in!

Lakers fans breathed a sigh of relief. It finally came in and the bleeding was stopped.

However, Kobe Bryant is obviously very dissatisfied with Vujacic. He is used to seeing Ji Feng's breakthroughs and catching Ji Feng's passes. Vujacic is really useless except for his long hair!

Kobe used the Death Stare, and Vujacic spread his hands with a guilty conscience. This guy Bowen is really difficult to deal with. I'm not a pervert like Ji Feng!

However, the 3-point difference was not maintained. Barry received Bowen's pass from the outside and hit a three-pointer. The point difference expanded to 6 points. This was the Spurs' largest lead!

"GO SPURS GO!"

"GO SPURS GO!"

Spurs fans shouted excitedly at Staples. Although there were few people, they were excited!

"The Lakers' lineup has too few offensive points. Except for Kobe, everyone else's offensive firepower is too poor. It would be great if there was Bynum at this time. The Spurs' rotation is like Tian Ji's horse racing, making the Lakers' rotation very uncomfortable." Yu Jia said.

"We still need to rest. Ji Feng played for 12 minutes. If we force him to play, Ji Feng will not be able to play in the second half." Director Zhang said.

"Yes, at this time, the Lakers' bench hopes to last longer, and the point difference is widened." Yu Jia said.

I have to say that Bobo’s skills are really good. The military academy was not in vain!
