Chapter 558 Unusual
After all, Tyson Chandler has won the best defensive player award, and his position is quite good, completely blocking Curry's breakthrough route.
Curry remembered the running rotation in his usual training, knowing that Klay Thompson had run to the top of the arc on the right, passing the ball behind his back, and wanted to give him the ball.
Reggie Miller saw Curry's pass selection and immediately said, "What?"
Xu Tian was already standing in front of Klay Thompson, but Curry, who was passing the ball from behind, didn't see it at all.
Mistake!
Steve Kerr put his right hand on his hip and scratched his head awkwardly with his left.
Klay Thompson reacted quickly and wanted to fight back, but he had no choice but to pay for the last foul.By the time he reacted, he couldn't take back his actions.
Xu Tian was sent to the free throw line!
Chris Webber asked: "Reggie, have you ever seen a player throw a random behind-the-back pass in a life-and-death moment?"
Reggie Miller shook his head and said: "Never! The stage of the Western Conference Finals is also a stage that may be related to promotion. Basically, the method of passing the ball behind the back is not used. This method of passing is too risky and prone to mistakes. "
The fans watching the game in the Oracle Arena all stood up and booed neatly, trying to interfere with Xu Tian's free throw rhythm.
Xu Tian's mentality was too stable, he ignored the boos and made two free throws!
124-121, 27.6 seconds!
Steve Kerr had two more timeouts. To be on the safe side, he called one of them and set up a fast attack.
Curry wasn't blamed for his pass selection, didn't realize there was anything wrong with it, and just saw the two teams were down by three and decided to tie the game with a three.
Xu Tian basically didn't sweat much. He took two sips of sports drink and stood on the sidelines, watching Scott's formation.This time his intention is to defend the three-point line, remove McGee, and use five smaller players with more advantages to strengthen the defense of the three-point line.
At the end of the timeout, the cheerleaders trot off the court, and the players from both sides return to the game.
The referee gave the ball to Draymond Green, and he served the frontcourt touchline.
Curry stood in the backcourt, subconsciously glanced at the scoreboard above, and quickly dribbled the ball to the frontcourt with his braces in his mouth.He wants to give the Lakers more time and strive for another offense.
Xu Tian came to the center line, relied on anticipation to block Curry who was trying to speed up and pass him, and forcibly used his strength to prevent him from dribbling to find space.
Curry saw Iguodala standing on the right, turned around to avoid Xu Tian's fight, and passed the ball directly.
Josh Smith was instructed by Xu Tian to keep his attention on Iguodala while defending Draymond Green.See him take off, run with all his strength, and block the ball that Iguodala just shot from the side.
Clarkson is in excellent position, moving quickly laterally and getting the ball from Josh Smith.
Harrison Barnes wanted to foul, but Clarkson had already passed the ball to Xu Tian, so he could only stop the foul and let his teammates use foul tactics.
Xu Tian dribbled away from Klay Thompson, was stopped by Curry near the center line, and was sent to the free throw line.
Josh Smith was very excited to complete the key block, and roared to the sky, releasing the accumulated emotions in his heart.
Xu Tian had already walked to the free throw line in the frontcourt, and asked Warren to replace Josh Smith on the right side of the free throw line, ready to execute the free throw.
The Warriors fans realized that it takes a miracle to win, so they showed enthusiasm, booed Xu Tian, and tried to interfere again.
Xu Tian closed his eyes and took a deep breath, dribbled the ball twice, relaxed his arms, and shot according to his muscle habits!
First penalty, hit!
More than half of the boos from Oracle Arena disappeared in an instant!
Draymond Green took the bounced basketball, tried it, and handed it to the referee.
Xu Tian received the ball from the referee, dribbled it twice, and made a steady shot!
Second free throw, hit!
126-121, 13.1 seconds!
Steve Kerr calls the final timeout!
McGee looked very excited, walked into the court and high-fived Josh Smith, and the two interacted passionately, celebrating the key block just now.
Scott said: "Boys, we are now leading by 5 points. As long as we can hold the advantage, we can win this game. Don't worry, don't make mistakes, play steadily and bring the series back to Los Angeles."
Xu Tian didn't speak for a long time, and said directly: "Penalty kick."
Scott didn't hear clearly, and asked, "What?"
"Give the Warriors a chance to make a free throw." Xu Tian said in a steady tone, "They didn't have a timeout, and they fouled and sent Curry to the free throw line."
"Are you sure?"
"I never do anything I'm not sure about!" Xu Tian was sure.
Scott knew that Xu Tian would be better than himself as a coach, so he didn't dismiss it and let the players implement Xu Tian's strategy.In fact, this is a superfluous move—Xu Tianming's tactics will be resolutely implemented by his teammates.
Steve Kerr has been buzzing in his head, considering many factors, but he never expected that the Lakers would use penalty kicks.
Curry ran out of space with the help of a screen, received the ball, and wanted to pull up to shoot a three-pointer.
George was fairly close to Curry, rushed over and fouled him before he took off.Because the Warriors wanted to bet on three points, a little time wasted.
With 7.2 seconds left in the game, Curry made two free throws on the line.
The first penalty, steady!
McGee and Tyson Chandler were replaced, and the double center protected the defensive rebound and prevented Curry from deliberately missing the free throw.
Before receiving the referee's pass, Curry thought of several possible situations. He could only think of hitting the offensive rebound, deliberately increasing his strength, leveling the arc of the shot, and making unusual free throws.
Xu Tian stood on the left side of the free throw line, saw the arc of the ball, judged its rebound route in advance, and protected the defensive rebound.
Iguodala had a clear mind and fouled directly, wanting to leave a little more time.But the point difference is too big, and such a move basically doesn't make much sense.
Xu Tian grabbed the ball with his right hand and shouted something to the audience, which read, "I'll be back, and win."
When Xu Tian was on the free throw line, Reggie Miller carefully watched the slow-motion replay and interpreted his words. He first explained what Xu Tian said just now, and then said with a smile: "Xu seems very confident."
Chris Webber said: "It's definitely true!"
Xu Tian made two free throws and made a steady hit!
128-122, 5.1 seconds!
The Warriors have no timeout. They want to serve to Curry in the backcourt. After searching for a long time, they can't find a chance, so they can only pass the ball to Iguodala.
Iguodala saw the time go by and threw a super long three-pointer in the backcourt!
The ball hits the rim, bounces back into the air, and hits the floor as the fans watch.
The final whistle sounded, and G5 of the Western Conference Finals was over!
The Lakers made another victory at 128-122, tying the series to 2-3.
Xu Tian didn't shake hands with the Warriors players, and ran straight back to the locker room, excited about the victory of this game.
