Chapter 159

Xu Tian played too long in the first half and was replaced by Nick Young when George made a free throw. He temporarily went to the sidelines to rest and adjust.

Black also came on the field and replaced Hibbert.

Steve Kerr didn't know the purpose of Scott's rotation this time, but he didn't plan to replace the main players, and wanted to use this lineup to take the opportunity to expand the point difference.

Xu Tian took the towel and hot water cup from the caddy, sat on the empty bench, covered his legs with the towel, drank some water, and watched the game quietly.

George made an extra free throw, 85-90!

Curry took the serve, put the braces in his mouth while dribbling, and dribbled across half court as relaxed as possible.

Nick Young's defensive ability is far inferior to Kobe and George, and he can only defend Harrison Barnes on the flank.

Bryant was still following Klay Thompson, who was running off the ball.

George lowered his center of gravity and faced Curry at the top of the arc for a single-point defense.

Curry is not a sharp spear, perhaps it is more appropriate to describe it as a musket.He is like a passerby who suddenly appeared in the cold weapon era. He caught off guard with a three-pointer and stunned people who were obsessed with mid-range shooting, making the beaten people follow his footsteps one by one.

George's defensive ability is good enough, but facing Curry's shot in less than 0.4 seconds, he still can only sigh.

BANG!

93-85, the point difference returned to 8 points.

Xu Tian watched Curry's statistics and game highlights last night, and knew how hot he was. He took a sip of water indifferently and continued to watch the game calmly.

ESPN had a hunch that Curry felt good tonight, and released the highest number of three-pointers in a single game, which was 12 three-pointers in a single game maintained by Kobe and Marshall.And Curry has hit 6 three-pointers so far, which is halfway from the single-game record.

Kobe failed to influence Xu Tian during training in the summer, but was influenced by this player with solid basic skills. On the offensive end, he really considered the option of assists.

Nance Jr. became the lucky one and received a pass from Kobe, who has always liked singles.

Draymond Green is a high-spirited player, stepping steadily against Nance Jr., leaving him no offensive space.

Xu Tian averaged only 10.1 shots per game, which is a bit reckless compared to his 61.2% shooting rate, but as long as he is on the court, he is a huge threat, and no team dares to let him go easily.Now that he is sitting off the court, Green's defensive pressure is naturally much less, and defending Nance Jr. alone is a piece of cake.

No matter how you say it, Nance Jr. is still a rookie. He doesn't have the solid basic skills and calm mind of Xu Tian. His blind shot was blocked by the strong defensive Green, and he ended the offensive round in disgrace.

Director Zhang saw that Nance was blocked, and said: "Hey! Look at these teammates, they are really playing nonsense! There are two stars standing outside the three-point line, and you are fighting here by yourself. You are not just waiting for mistakes! "

Yang Jian didn't favor the Lakers that much, but he also knew that Director Zhang was right. He said, "Just now, Nance Jr. should return the ball to Kobe, and play a high-low combination, so as to generate opportunities. Like him directly challenging Green's defense, It's really unwise."

"That's the reason! Anyway, Green was the one who competed for the best defensive player award last year. It's not easy to beat him."

Curry took the ball from Harrison Barnes, started the dribble at the top of the arc, and easily broke through George, who was too tight in the rhythm change.

Nick Young left behind Harrison Barnes, who was in charge of defense, and rushed to Curry's side desperately, filling the defensive gap in time.

Curry's playing style is light and agile, dribbling the ball to avoid the pincer attack of Nick Young and George, and passing the ball from behind to the open Harrison Barnes.

Harrison Barnes' shooting ability is not as good as that of Curry and Klay Thompson, but he is an NBA-level starter after all. He does not adjust the catch and pulls up to shoot.

George's defensive sense is much more sensitive than Nick Young's, and he quickly rushed to Harrison Barnes, reaching out to try to interfere with his shot.

Harrison Barnes didn't expect George to be able to keep up with the defense in this situation. His hands trembled when he shot, and he successfully made a three-point shot.

Draymond Green stuck Nance Jr. behind him with a small movement, reached out to catch the dropped basketball, and wanted to make a tip-up.

Black's movement speed is not very fast, but the short distance makes his defense in place in time, blocking Green's shot.

With sharp eyes and quick hands, Green quickly got the shot down basketball and made another tip-up.

Nance Jr. was behind Green and wanted to destroy the shot, but he didn't take off enough and hit him with his right hand.

BI!

The referee held his right wrist with his left hand and called him a thug foul, sending Green to the free throw line.

The basketball spun a few times on the rim and fell into the net by coincidence, making this foul a 2+1!

Green didn't want to celebrate at first, but seeing that the goal was scored and a penalty was added, he couldn't help showing his strong biceps to the fans.

Seeing Green's clumsy celebration, Xu Tian couldn't help smiling, and almost spit out the water in his mouth.

The referee was completely unaffected by Green's celebration. He walked to his side with his left hand on his shoulder, and pointed to the free throw line with his right hand, signaling him to go free throw.

McGrady finished a day of public welfare activities and returned to her home in Houston.He had the impression that the game between the Warriors and the Lakers was still playing, so he turned on the TV tentatively.

McGrady has played in many teams. The peak of his career was in the Magic, but he really gained a large number of domestic fans in the Rockets.And he loves this city very much, and settled in Houston after retiring.

The score of the two sides displayed at the bottom of the TV was 95-85, which gave McGrady the illusion that it was the fourth quarter. When he saw clearly that the third quarter had just started, he couldn't help murmuring: "My God! What happened to this team, why such a high score?"

He was alone in the living room, so naturally no one came to answer this question.

Green's penalty was missed, and Black grabbed a defensive rebound.

Bryant dribbles across half court, points his left hand to the right of the free throw line, and lets George run there.

George didn't understand what Kobe meant, but he followed suit.

Kobe used the stunned George as a wall, brought Klay Thompson to him, and quickly broke through to the inside.

Nance Jr. stood inside the left three-point line and pulled Green out.

Only then did George realize that Kobe was calling a screen just now, so he simply followed along, preparing to go in and make a tip.

Kobe took the ball to the penalty area, attracted the defense of Bogut and Green, and passed the ball to Nance Jr. with his left hand. After deceiving Green's defensive attention, he received the ball and passed it to George.

George's athletic ability is much stronger than that of Nance Jr., he took off the ball strongly, and forced a dunk against Bogut's block.

Mike Brin was surprised when he saw the ball, and said: "What kind of goal is this! Paul George's dunk is very Kobe Bryant's youthful demeanor!"

Thackeray stood up excitedly, accidentally knocked over the cup in Xu Tian's hand, and the remaining water in it spilled all over the floor.
