Chapter 554 Choice
Warriors owner Joe Lacob sat on the sidelines, watching the Warriors bench nervously, wondering if the players could recover the point difference.
Steve Kerr designed several tactics for Klay Thompson, allowing him to run and try to open the situation.Now Curry needs to face Xu Tian's defense, so he can only find a way to make him stand up.
Players from both teams walked back to the field as the Warriors cheerleaders exited the field.
Xu Tian looked at the time, and there were 4 minutes and 21 seconds before the end of the game, and the Lakers temporarily led by 6 points!
Steve Kerr was extremely nervous, standing on the sidelines, observing the first attack after the timeout.
Xu Tian continued to defend Curry, not giving him an easy chance to catch the ball.
Klay Thompson receives the serve and returns it to Draymond Green, who dribbles the ball across the court.
Iguodala came to the top of the arc, helped Curry cover, blocked Xu Tian who was fully defending, and let Curry run away.
Clarkson rotated quickly, kept up with Curry who was running without the ball, and defended with slightly suspicious moves.
Curry often encounters this kind of defense and has long been accustomed to it. He used the cover to move laterally and found a small space.
Iguodala had just received a serve from Draymond Green, saw Curry's opportunity, and immediately passed the ball.
Curry made up defense against Nance Jr., collected the ball calmly, faced the defense, and went straight to the middle distance!
The historical level of touch is unsolvable!
107-103!
Xu Tian still didn't catch the ball and ran to the frontcourt without the ball.
George faced Iguodala's defense, dribbled the ball diagonally to the frontcourt, and organized an offense at the top of the arc on the left.
McGee is a point used by Scott to break the Warriors' five small lineups. When it comes to pick-and-rolls at the top of the arc, he leaves Harrison Barnes who defends him to George, and he goes down without the ball.This kind of pick-and-roll quality will be scolded in teams with strong tactical discipline, but in the Lakers who need him to attack, there is no problem at all.
Draymond Green needs to be responsible for assisting Xu Tian in the defense. He does not have an advantage in position, and it has become unfeasible to guard the penalty area.
McGee grabbed the ball with his right hand, raised fire to the sky, and scored a dunk!
109-103, 3 minutes and 56 seconds!
Steve Kerr glanced at Bogut sitting on the bench, hesitating in his heart, wondering if he should be replaced on the court.
Curry dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, passed the ball to Draymond Green, and ran without the ball, pulling the Lakers' defense.
Klay Thompson ran to the right corner on a Harrison Barnes screen and received a pass from Draymond Green.
Josh Smith needed to defend Klay Thompson, did not respond in time, and gave a space close to the open.
Klay Thompson took off gracefully, with a standard posture, and shot a three-pointer!
Swish!
109-106, 3 minutes and 39 seconds!
The momentum of the Oracle Arena, which had been somewhat weakened, instantly increased, even to the point where it was a bit noisy.
"Defense! Defense!"
Listening to the shouts of the fans at the scene, George was unconsciously affected a little bit. He didn't protect the ball when he dribbled, and was cut by Iguodala.
The two scrambled for the ball near the halfway line, and soon both fell to the ground, engaging in a floorball scramble.
Curry and Xu Tian were very close to the two who were grabbing the ball, and they both flew over and joined the ranks of grabbing the ball.
The referee blew the whistle, first stopped the actions of the players on both sides, discussed with the referee, and decided to review the video to determine the ownership of the ball.This is a game that is likely to affect the outcome of the series, and they have to be cautious in making decisions.
The three referees walked to the technical stage, watched the slow-motion replay repeatedly, and after communicating with the staff of the replay center, they made a compromise judgment—the two sides fought for the ball.
George and Iguodala stood on the ground, slightly bent their knees, and their legs were charged, ready to fight for the ball.
Iguodala's athletic talent is good, but he is a little worse than George. He has a quick take-off reaction, but he still failed to win the ball.
Xu Tian got the basketball and passed the ball to Clarkson before the Warriors flanked the defense and let him organize the offense in the frontcourt.
George ran to the frontcourt, received the ball from Clarkson, dribbled the ball to the left, and took advantage of the trend to break through.
Iguodala wanted to help defend Xu Tian just now, but had no time to return to the defense, so he could only retreat to the penalty area, trying to prevent George's breakthrough.
Seeing the Warriors shrink the penalty area, George turned around and passed the ball to Xu Tian who was at the top of the arc.
Curry wanted to steal, but his jumping and height were inferior to Xu Tian's, so the attempt was unsuccessful.
Xu Tian received the pass, crushed by his height advantage, and directly pulled up a jumper.
It feels very soft!
112-106, 3 minutes and 20 seconds!
Xu Tian hit 12 three-pointers in this game, setting a new high for a single playoff game.
Steve Kerr was a little anxious. Before the ball was sent out, he shouted at the players, asking them to defend Xu Tian closely and not to give space for shooting.
Curry struggled to dribble and handed it to Draymond Green again.
Xu Tian clenched his fists and informed his teammates to increase the intensity of physical confrontation.
Klay Thompson ran without the ball and wanted to get to the top of the arc with the help of defense. Unfortunately, the Lakers encountered unlimited defense changes and did not find the offensive space.
Steve Kerr set up a small play big game, stood on the sidelines to see if Draymond Green would execute it.
McGee needs to chase and defend. After several changes, the top of the arc faces Curry who is dribbling.
Xu Tian switched to Klay Thompson, so he couldn't help defending.
Curry dribbled the ball flexibly at the top of the arc, changed directions continuously, and made a fake move to start McGee, moved sideways and retreated, and made a decisive three-pointer!
Answer ball!
112-109, 3 minutes and 01 seconds!
All the fans in the Oracle Arena stood up, shouted "defense" in unison, and cheered the hard-working players on the field with super momentum.
The Warriors' execution ability is considered top-notch. After getting a hint from Steve Kerr, they decisively strengthened their physical confrontation with Xu Tian. As long as he stood outside the three-point line, he would defend closely.
old question!
The defense received by the other four Lakers players was virtually reduced. Two simple cooperations allowed McGee to face Curry who had switched defenses in the low post.
George lobs to McGee!
McGee grabbed the ball with his right hand, put his left body against Curry, turned around and hooked, and shot without a solution!
The basketball draws a perfect arc and hits the net with precision!
114-109, 2 minutes and 48 seconds!
When McGee was waived by the Mavericks, he thought he might be eliminated by the NBA. At that time, he was too confused.Therefore, it is particularly exciting to be able to score a key goal in the Western Conference Finals.
Steve Kerr wanted to replace Bogut, but he was afraid that Xu Tian would take advantage of his slow movement, but at this time the protection of the penalty area was not good, and a big player was urgently needed.The question of how to arrange troops was placed in front of him.
Curry was not confused, and called Iguodala to cover, temporarily delaying Xu Tian's defense, just two steps past the center line, and directly shot a super long three-pointer!
The basketball pierced the night sky and exploded the entire stadium!
114-112, 2 minutes and 41 seconds!
Steve Kerr looked at Curry, who was celebrating enthusiastically, and shook his head helplessly. He really didn't know whether to praise him or blame him for his shot selection.
