The first quarter was so relaxed that Ji Feng felt a bit fake. At the end of the game, Ji Feng also turned his head to see Popovich\'s expression. He wanted to see if Popovich was playing them in this game!

In the first quarter, Feng got 10 points and 5 assists, and he only played 6 minutes and 45 seconds. Without the data, the most different thing is actually the feeling on the field.

I still remember Ji Feng\'s first foul against the Spurs, Bowen\'s black elbow, Ginobili\'s snake step, and Oberto\'s fouls on the court impressed him deeply. Although the Lakers were very strong at that time, they still fought against the Spurs for 48 minutes, relying on his spiritual make-up at the last moment to win.

at that time, Ji Feng felt that the Spurs really deserved their reputation, and their defensive ability and strength were indeed the biggest opponents of the Lakers in 10 years.

But tonight, it all changed. Although the GDP is in, Bonner is still the same Bonner, but the Spurs always make him feel that he has not the taste of the original spurs.

What\'s more, the number of fouls in the first quarter of the season is zero, which is unimaginable in the past. Is it that the Spurs decided to transform this season?

"The Spurs let the Lakers get 36 points in the first quarter, but they only got 20 points. To be honest, this is not the Spurs team that I am familiar with. They don\'t have the fighting spirit and defensive retrogression in the past. They can hardly create defensive numbness for the Lakers. The defensive system Popovich built was completely gone." Buckley\'s words pointed to the Spurs\' problems in a nutshell.

Defense!

No matter how many wonderful performances the Spurs have performed on the field, whether you like Duncan\'s high board, Parker\'s spinning top, or Ginobili\'s smart snake step, you can\'t deny one thing, that is, the Spurs rely on defense to eat. If there is no defense, there will be no Spurs\' honors.

Think about how the Spurs won the pistons and won the championship in 2005, and you will understand that if they didn\'t rely on the abnormal defense than the iron and blood pistons, they would not have won the championship. Similarly, without defense, they would not be able to beat down the sun, which is gorgeous to the extreme, so that the latter has not tasted the taste of the Western championship.

Since Popovich took over the team in 1997, the Spurs\' defensive ability has always been in the forefront of the league. Relying on Duncan\'s deterrent ability in the interior and the defensive talents such as Bowen on the outside line, they have played their defense to win the championship in recent years.

It can be said that to single round defense ability, the Spurs in the last 10 years are definitely the first in the league, and there is no dispute.

Under the premise of giving full play to personal strength, we emphasize absolute integrity and absolute obedience. Everyone operates like a machine when defending. There are few loopholes in positional warfare. Even if there is one, it can be made up with extremely fast speed.

This is the secret of the Spurs vertical and horizontal alliance.

However, today\'s Spurs on the court, you can\'t see the shadow of the original iron and blood defensive spurs. There are loopholes in the field from inside to outside. The moving speed and speed are slow, and there is almost no supplementary defense. In short, the defensive ability of the Spurs has nearly doubled this season.

"It\'s true that the Spurs\' defensive ability has declined, but you have to be considerate of Popovich. After all, they changed three players in the first round of the game. Just one summer later, even Popovich can\'t quickly crush the team. They need more time." Smith had a fair word for the Spurs.

This is an indisputable fact. The Spurs\' lineup has indeed completed a great change in the last two years. Bowen, Holly and Finley have retired from the service, and the trade has been made. The inside double substitutes, Oberto and Thomas, have also left. In addition to GDP, the Spurs and the two years ago are no longer a team.

Large scale personnel changes will make the Spurs not run smoothly, and some problems will arise, but this is not the most critical, because the core GDP of the Spurs team building is still there. No matter how the role players change, the core will not change, and the system will not change. Therefore, there are other more key reasons for the Spurs to play like this.

In fact, the answer is at the beginning of the second quarter, the Spurs replaced Mason to replace Ginobili, rookie Blair replaced Duncan, leaving only Parker and Jefferson two main players.

This array, Buckley is ready to leave work, 16 points behind to change the main force, Popovich this is clearly do not want to win.

Although the Laker side also under season peak and Kobe, but others lead 16 points, that and you can be the same!

The camera is also directly aimed at Popovich, only to see the old coach is still calm, just pulling Jefferson constantly saying something.

"Popovich, this is to put all the Mafia on Jefferson." Zhang said.

It looks like this, but Popovich knows in his heart that he has never put his treasure on anyone except Duncan, so he has no choice but to change people.

He would like to replace Duncan, but he really can\'t, because 12 years of "stone Buddha" Duncan is is really old. Although this summer, the responsible player chose to gain weight to maintain his competitiveness, no doubt, the effect is not significant. On the contrary, in the face of the impact of the young inside line of other teams, Duncan\'s pace can not keep up with them, The deterrent power of stone Buddha has been greatly reduced.Similarly, on the offensive side, Duncan\'s strength can still compete with those young muscle sticks, but it\'s already quite difficult. As a 32 year old veteran, Duncan\'s body can\'t keep up with his consciousness. In the game, we can often see that when the outside players give the ball to Duncan, stone Buddha tries his best to catch the ball, but because of the interference of the defensive players and his own strength, Duncan can\'t keep up with his consciousness, Touch the ball out of bounds.

Although many people are still ridiculing rookie No. 23, as the core, Duncan\'s power is not as strong as before, and weight gain may be the worst decision this summer, which not only does not let Duncan occupy an advantage in the interior, but also makes him consume faster, which makes him have to rest for a long time to ensure the state of the second half.

So he can only hope in Jefferson, he hopes Jefferson can resist, maintain the difference.

However, after seeing that you didn\'t mean to go to Duncan, the Zen master played another round and replaced Ji Feng. This not only made Jefferson explode again, but also made Duncan\'s rest plan bankrupt.

Because Jifeng had two buckles on Bonner\'s head, and if he goes on like this, the Spurs\' inside line will be completely smashed!

As for Jefferson, his ability is not worth mentioning in front of Ji Feng. Moreover, the Laker sent Ji Feng and Artest to take turns in defense, which directly broke his mind. Before half-time, he also got a technical foul because of abusing the referee

At half-time, 65-40, the Lakers confirmed the victory.
