Beijing time on March 8, the NBA regular season continued, today the Spurs sat at home to usher in the Challenge of the Lakers, James, who scored 56 points in the last game, was absent today because of sore knees, which is an opportunity for Wei Shao to prove himself, and Vogel, who was rumored to be out of class, also urgently needed to take this to consolidate his position, and as a result, both of them were disappointed, and the Lakers lost to the Spurs 110-117.
1335 wins tied the first in history! Popovich's legend continues
The Spurs side of the most scored in this campaign is Murray, he shot 12 of 20, 1 of 5 three-pointers, 26 points, 10 rebounds, 8 assists, 3 steals and 1 block of the quasi-triple-double, now Murray is full of peak Wei Shao shadow, scoring organization rebounds a grab, and a good defensive ability, he entered the All-Star is well deserved. In Murray's tandem, Kyleden had 13 points and six rebounds, Bortel had 18 points, eight rebounds and four assists, McDermott had 11 points and three assists, and Richardson had 18 points, five rebounds and two assists.
After winning the game, Popovich's coaching career wins came to 1335 games, so far he also equaled the old Nelson tied for the first place in history, after winning this game, the Spurs have 17 games left in the regular season, this season Popovich surpassed the old Nelson to become the first in history, it should be a foregone conclusion, but in the offseason, the US media has revealed that if Popovich surpasses the old Nelson, he will retire, I believe this is the last thing Spurs fans want to see, after the GDP left Popovich is indeed not as magical as before, But the Spurs have him as a Spurs, and he is the real team soul.
Now Popovich is 73 years old, although he has reached retirement age, but his on-the-spot adaptability and control of the form of the game is still among the top managers in the league, and in today's match with Vogel, it can be said that Popovich won completely, and in the fourth quarter Popovich insisted on not replacing Bortel, and finally let the Spurs laugh to the end in the fourth quarter.
Five points, Vogel really deserves to be cut
The Lakers lost in the fourth quarter, it can be said that his five small hands can get the victory in hand to give people, the beginning of the fourth quarter Vogel sent a lineup: Westbrook, Tucker, Stanley Johnson, Rivers and Munch, the highest of the five is 1.98 meters Stanley Johnson, the result of which allowed the Spurs to explode on the inside line, catching up with the score, and then Vogel finally changed sides.
And guess what? He replaced Stanley Johnson with Anthony, the team still has no interior line, and then he saw a scene of Bolt turning the river upside down on the inside line, in the fourth quarter, Bolter scored 11 points and 4 rebounds in 4 shots in a single quarter, the Spurs team only had 22 points in the fourth quarter, rebounds could not grab the opponent, the Lakers' five small were exploded, Anthony really tried his best, lying on Bolter for the card position, but it was still useless.
Anthony shot 6-of-12 from the field, 1 of 4-of-3 points, 17 points, 7 rebounds, 1 assist and 2 blocks, it's really hard for you to let this 37-year-old veteran do something else, he's just a base-pay player, Tucker Jr. scored 18 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists, tucker Jr. played well today, Munch didn't have the efficiency of the past, 8 of 22 shots, 1 of 7 three-pointers, 17 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists, Rivers is still stable, 6 of 8 shots, 1 of 1 of 3 points, 1 of 13 points and 6 rebounds.
The most anticipated Westbrook, this campaign 14 shots 5 of 14, three points 2-of-0 to take 17 points, 10 rebounds and 6 assists data, originally thought that this game Westbrook in the absence of James will be a big kill, the result is that he still does not have more tactical status, Vogel for What requirements Westbrook made I do not know, but the most important person to lose this game must be Vogel, he has Howard but does not reuse.
This campaign Howard played 17 minutes 5 shots 4 to get 9 points, 6 rebounds and 1 assist data, and Howard was not bothered by fouls, the whole game only fouled 1 time, the result of the fourth quarter was directly refrigerated, if in the fourth quarter there is Howard and Bortel in the inside line, maybe the Lakers will not lose so badly in the fourth quarter, after the loss of the Lakers still have 18 regular season games, although the play-off place is likely to be saved, but want to reach the top six in the West is basically hopeless, it is estimated that this is also the reason for the old Zhan truce.
