Chapter 157 Second Half
Before the end of the first half, the scene of Curry and Xu Tian throwing a three-pointer against each other is still replaying in the fans' minds.This feeling is very unreal, but it is an objective thing, which makes the fans have to sigh-Xu Tian's immediate combat power is really strong!
The intermission time is only 15 minutes, but in the hearts of the anxiously waiting fans, these 15 minutes seem extremely long.Fortunately, there is such an interesting link as Kiss Cam, so it's not hard to bear.
Kiss Cam is an interactive game for spectators after NBA games, and it has always been very popular.As the "kissing game" of the NBA, when the big screen is aimed at the fans in the auditorium, two people sitting next to each other will kiss each other. This game is usually played by fans sitting next to each other.When James and Wade were partners in the Heat, they were molested by this game session.
The halftime break is more important for players. They can use this time to avoid unfavorable factors, adjust their physical and mental state, and respond to the second half of the game in the best state.
George and Nick Young are always playful people, trying to control the scale, laughing and teasing Xu Tian's confrontation with Curry in the first half.
Xu Tianlai rarely shot three-pointers in the NBA before, but now he can be regarded as doing as the Romans do, playing with Curry.
Kobe didn't like the atmosphere in the locker room to be too active, but he knew that it was not good to be too strict, so he simply sat next to the coaching staff and discussed tactics with Scott and Madsen.
Madsen was a teammate with Kobe during the Lakers' three consecutive championships. He respected this star with outstanding personal ability, and described in detail the tactical ideas he considered.
Scott was speechless, listening to the chief assistant's report-style explanation, carefully analyzing the pros and cons of the tactical system.
Xu Tian only talked and laughed with George and Nick Young for a while, and quickly ended this meaningless activity and participated in the discussion of the coaching staff.
The atmosphere in the Warriors locker room is much more relaxed than that of the Lakers.Curry and head coach Steve Kerr sat together, laughing and talking about the scene of the confrontation with Xu Tian just now.
Steve Kerr is not a person with a strict personality. He is very loose in controlling the players under his opponents. He even made a decision to relax the shooting options for Curry, so he naturally became one with the players.
Curry has an introverted personality. Some sports media once commented on him as "restrained fighting spirit", and his competitive spirit is no worse than any fierce-looking player.After only joking for a moment, they began to prepare for the second half of the game.
Luke Wharton has a dull personality compared to these two, holding the tactical board in his hand, silently planning the offensive and defensive tactics for the second half.
The 15 minutes passed quickly, and the players from both sides returned to the court warmed up by the cheerleaders and continued to play the second half of the game.
Nance Jr. went to the bottom line to serve, handed it over to Xu Tian, and ran forward.
Kobe and Xu Tian mainly attack with the ball, while George is balanced off the ball and with the ball. The roles of the three overlap to a certain extent, but they are far from the level of James and Wade.
Xu Tian dribbled the ball across the half court, observed his teammates' running positions at the top of the arc, and patiently organized the attack.
Kobe and George lined up at a 45-degree angle on the left and right sides, which invisibly put pressure on the Warriors, forcing their defense to expand to near the three-point line, opening up space on the field for breakthroughs.
After the head-on confrontation at the end of the first half, Curry knew that he could not guard Xu Tian, so he took the initiative to avoid him on the defensive end.
Harrison Barnes is the least famous of the Warriors' starting five, and correspondingly he has to do the hardest job, defending Xu Tian alone at the top of the arc.
Xu Tian looked at the timer above the backboard and found that there were only 12 seconds left in the attack time, so he quickly threw the ball to George on the left wing.
George mainly defended Curry in the first half and devoted a lot of energy on the defensive end, resulting in basically no shots.The defensive task was reduced in the second half, so they naturally wanted to show off on the offensive end.
After all, Kobe had just returned, so he didn't move his place just to be on the safe side, standing outside the right-wing three-point line to watch George singles Curry.
Curry thought to himself, "It's really beeping the dog, whoever gets the ball will hit me!" After thinking about it, the defense still needs to be done well, and the defense must be done in a decent manner.
Draymond Green didn't need to defend Xu Tian, and immediately felt a lot better on his body, and quickly rushed to Curry's side to help this seemingly thin guard defend.
George's organizational skills are not good, so compared to Xu Tian, simple passing is still no problem.
Nance Jr. received a pass from George, started outside the penalty area on the left side, and was about to dunk against Bogut.
Bogut has the self-esteem of an old-school center, and he is determined not to let Nance Jr. complete the dunk, pushing him hard.
Nance Jr.'s body is not considered strong among power forwards, but after all, he is a strong man who often lifts iron, and he still tries his best to complete dunks.
Bogut couldn't help but increase the strength at hand to stop Nance Jr.'s forward momentum, so that this dunk was successfully blocked by the basket, so that he would not make a big fool.
The referee blew his whistle in time and sentenced Bogut to push for a foul.
Bogut is an old stick. Even for such a blatant foul, he still has to talk to the referee and try his best to get a more favorable penalty.
The referee ignored the protest and upheld the original sentence.
As the saying goes, don't forget the well digger when you drink water, Nance Jr. walked near the free throw line and high-fived George who passed the ball to him.
After Kobe, Xu Tian and the others finished high-fiving, they walked over to high-five Xiao Nance.This is the established rule of the NBA, it has always been the case.
Scott sat comfortably on the bench, looked at the scoreboard above the stadium, and saw that with 11 minutes and 41 seconds left in the third quarter, the Lakers trailed the Warriors by 76 points 82-6.
Nance Jr. made free throws on the line, and with his exceptionally good touch, he made both free throws.
78-82!
Curry received the serve from Green, took the half court slowly, and organized the team's offense at the top of the arc.
Klay Thompson slid back from the baseline, leaving Kobe behind him and getting an open shot.
Curry hit the ground in place instantly, helping the Splash Brothers take off.
Klay Thompson catches the ball and makes an open turnaround jump shot!
Bin Go!
84-78!
Kobe was a little annoyed at not being able to guard Klay Thompson, but he was a seasoned veteran after all, so he quickly adjusted his mentality and ran to the frontcourt to attack and run.
Xu Tian observed the Warriors' running position, passed the ball to Kobe, and let this veteran superstar with super single-point ability attack.
Klay Thompson stretched out his right hand in front of Kobe, using the way of interfering with the line of sight to defend Kobe, who was attacking Kaleidoscope.
Kobe played countless critical moments in his life, big and small. Klay Thompson's strong defense was useless in his opinion and could not affect his offensive rhythm at all.
The basketball, the basket and Kobe form a triangle invisibly, forming the triangle offense in Kohei's mind.
Kobe didn't bother to get rid of Clay, so he stood back and shot confidently.
The arc of the basketball's flight was very low, failing to exceed the height of the basket, and hitting the front directly.
Bogut grabs a close rebound and sprints it to Green, who dribbles the ball across half court.
