Because this means that Popovich gave up Duncan's inside attack!

In addition to the external expansion defensive tactics that the Lakers have been implementing tonight, this means that the Spurs' offense can only be concentrated at mid-range!

Asked, the Spurs will be killed by Kobe's mid-range, so can the Spurs kill the Lakers at mid-range?

Answer: No.

Or more precisely, it cannot be done now.

The Spurs in history relied on Duncan’s inside deterrence in the early stage, and later relied on “hammer tactics” to fight inside and outside tactics.

The meaning of Duncan for 20 years is that their tactics are basically established based on Duncan's deterrence in the inside.

Parker and Ginobili's breakthroughs are both lethal, but their mid-range distance is not as good as Kobe's "killing people".

So it is obviously a bit unrealistic to defeat Sun Hao and O'Neal in the middle distance.

The facts have proved that although Popovich replaced Ginobili in advance to the bench connection to catch up with points, just like last season's playoffs, it did have an effect, but it could not withstand the advantages of the Lakers' double towers in the starting period.

After the game, the Lakers defeated the Spurs 97-87, rewriting the big score to 2-1!

Duncan played a rare sluggish game with only 17 points and 8 rebounds in the game.

On the Lakers, O'Neal scored 17 points, 15 rebounds and 3 blocks, and Mourning scored 9 points, 11 rebounds and 3 blocks.

The two towers scored not much together, but they sent 26 rebounds and 6 blocks! A successful defense that could not be reflected in a large number of data!

Sun Hao scored 42 points and 6 assists on the offensive end.

However, it was also 42 points, and the fans' expressions of seeing Arenas scored 42 points are completely different.

The reason is nothing special, because in their opinion, Sun Hao's score was just a little bit of effort.

After the game, Popovich's expression seemed very frustrated and kept shaking his head.

In sharp contrast, Sun Hao and O'Neal blew at Mo Ning in a post-match press conference.

What are the things "You can call me Bradley, because with Alonzo by my side, I don't have to struggle to play the inside, I just need to hook up," "Moning is simply the most terrifying blocking machine on this planet".

If Mo Ning was on the scene, this iron man would probably be blushed.

After the press conference, Sun Hao and O'Neal went to the locker room to watch the live broadcast of the Warriors and the Mavericks.

Not just because of the bet between the two of them, but they are really concerned about the third game between the Warriors and the Mavericks now.

Just like their game, after the big score is tied, the third game will be the game that determines the "straight" of the entire series.

This is also the reason why Popovich will be so frustrated after the game.
