Chapter 532 The wrong choice
The timeout was short, and players from both sides returned to the court, and continued the final stage of the game amidst the enthusiastic "defensive" cheers from the fans.
Xu Tian received the ball while running in the backcourt, and under the leadership of Iguodala, he slowly advanced to the frontcourt.
Josh Smith mentioned the top of the arc and played a pick-and-roll with Xu Tian who was dribbling.
The Warriors paid a lot of attention to Xu Tian's defense. They gave up their defense against Josh Smith and went up to attack Xu Tian.
Xu Tiangao passed the ball to Josh Smith, allowing him to launch the next attack in the tactic.
Josh Smith's three-point threat was not big enough, causing Steve Kerr to fail to take care of him in his defensive tactics, and there was an open space, and he could only hope that he would not dare to shoot.
The Warriors played a small lineup of five, and the rotation was fast. When Josh Smith hesitated, the defense was in place, forcing him to split the ball.
Josh Smith hadn't played a key ball all season. He wanted to pass a cross to Xu Tian, but found that he was entangled by two Warriors players, so he had to change his choice and pass the ball to George.
Draymond Green is in charge of marking George, lowering his center of gravity and watching his movements.
George's dribbling level is much better than that of the Pacers. He made a fake dribble with his left hand, slightly deceived Draymond Green, changed his front to the right, and stepped on the three-point line to make a shot!
Swish!
105-106, 1 minutes and 32 seconds!
Curry receives the serve from the backcourt, dribbles the ball to the frontcourt at a slow speed, faces the tight defense of the Lakers' outside players, moves the ball laterally, and looks for suitable offensive opportunities.
Xu Tian is in charge of defending Curry. He basically does not suffer in terms of moving speed. He is fully focused and pays attention to his every movement.
Curry is a superstar in the league. He has the ability to play singles indiscriminately, change directions in front of the continuum, and find an offensive space.
Xu Tian's footsteps and defensive positioning are exceptionally good. No matter how much Curry shakes, he never loses his position, relying on his higher height to limit him.
Curry had a clear mind and did not rush to attack. He hit the ground with his left hand and passed it to Klay Thompson who came out of the right pocket.
George wanted to chase, but unfortunately he was blocked by Bogut who formed a cover halfway, and he couldn't defend at all.
Klay Thompson turned around and took off, making an iconic three-pointer!
Bin Go!
105-109, 1 minutes and 14 seconds!
The strongest sound wave erupted in the Oracle Center Arena, and it was given to Klay Thompson who hit a key three-pointer.
Xu Tian received the ball in the backcourt and dribbled the ball slowly to the frontcourt.
The Lakers players spread out their positions, opened up the Warriors' defense, and created space for Xu Tian to play singles.
Iguodala lowers his center of gravity and extends his right hand slightly forward, waiting for a cut and steal.This is his special skill, which is very useful against offensive players.
Xu Tian deliberately flashed the ball to Iguodala, lowered his dribble height when he was about to cut the ball, changed his rhythm twice in a row, and got rid of Iguodala's defense.
Klay Thompson quickly came out to help defend, but his position was a bit far away, so he could only stretch out his right hand to tentatively defend.
Xu Tian faced Klay Thompson, took off on the spot, and directly scored a three-pointer!
Answer ball!
108-109, 1 minutes!
The fans watching the game at the Oracle Center all stood up, and some female fans were too nervous to watch the ongoing game on the field.
Curry dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, faced Xu Tian's single defense, and tried to dribble again.
Xu Tian's defense was flawless and did not give Curry a chance to attack.
Klay Thompson was tightly entangled by George and did not run out of the offensive space.
Draymond Green mentioned catching the ball at the top of the arc, holding the ball with both hands, watching teammates run.He saw Iguodala, who was going down without the ball, and wanted to give him a through pass.
Nick Young predicted Draymond Green's choice, shot out horizontally, and stopped the basketball on the move.
Xu Tian was chasing and defending Curry. When he saw Nick Young complete the steal, he reacted instantly and ran forward at full speed.
The basketball followed Xu Tian's movement like a shadow, and completed the rendezvous in the frontcourt.
Xu Tian jumped from the free throw line with both feet, grabbed the ball with his right hand, and ended the offense with a one-handed dunk!
Overtake the score!
110-109, 39.3 seconds!
Steve Kerr called a timeout, replaced Bogut and sent Harrison Barnes to increase the offensive threat.
The Lakers also replaced McGee and let Josh Smith go to the fifth position, also playing in the five small lineups.
As soon as Xu Tian wiped off the sweat on his face, a new layer of sweat appeared immediately.That's enough to show how tired he is, but that's the way NBA games are, you can only rest at the end of the game.
Players from both sides return to the field to continue the game.
Curry dribbles upfield, allowing Draymond Green to the top of the key, and the two play a pick-and-roll, turning the defender in front of him into Josh Smith.
Josh Smith moved a bit slowly compared to Xu Tian, unable to keep up with the dexterous Curry, and was once again found to attack space.This is fatal enough for the Lakers.
Curry took off from outside the three-point line, seized this opportunity, and shot a three-pointer directly!
Shoot!
110-112, 23.6 seconds!
The atmosphere in the Oracle Center Arena is completely boiling!
Kobe called a timeout and replaced Josh Smith, who was replaced by McGee.
The question before the Lakers now is whether they want two points or three points.Now the Lakers have no timeout. They can tie the game by scoring two points, and then find a way to defend a round. However, it takes time to fight for three points. If you score, you win, and if you don’t score, you lose.
Kobe handed over the choice to Xu Tian.
Xu Tian didn't make a decision directly, but wanted to wait until he saw the Warriors' defensive formation before adapting to the situation.
The Lakers coaching staff believed in Xu Tian's judgment, did not impose tactics, and gave him full freedom.
The timeout ends and players from both teams return to the field to play.
Xu Tian received the serve from the backcourt and dribbled the ball to the frontcourt at a slow speed. Seeing that the Warriors' defense in the penalty area and outside defense were well arranged, he knew that they wanted to risk two points, dribbled laterally, and looked for opportunities to break through.
Draymond Green lowered his center of gravity at the top of the arc, looked at Xu Tian, and also guessed how he would attack.
Xu Tian dribbled the ball with his left hand, changed direction in front of his body, and pretended to break through the penalty area.After deceiving the Warriors' defense, step back and return to the three-point line, and raise your hand for a three-pointer!
Three points, hit!
113-112, 11.7 seconds!
The Warriors didn't call a timeout, and sent the ball to Curry, who took the ball to the frontcourt.
Xu Tian waited for Curry near the center line, defending from halftime, never giving him any room to attack.
Curry could see the timer on the backboard and knew that there was not much time left. He wanted to complete a shot, but was afraid of being blocked from the front, so he chose to pass to Klay Thompson on the right.
George was entangled by Iguodala and couldn't defend himself.
Klay Thompson took a step outside the three-point line, raised his hand confidently, and made a three-pointer at the buzzer!
Hit, lore!
113-115!
The red light on the edge of the backboard comes on and the game is over!
The Warriors won the game and turned the big score into 2-0!
