Chapter 573 Even
The Lakers have a higher offensive efficiency, but the Warriors hit more three-pointers, keeping the scores of the two sides at the same level, and no one can widen the gap.
During the intermission, the coaches of both sides mobilized. Although it was effective, the opponent also refused to give up and kept biting the score.The alternate leading situation made the fans hoarse.
At the end of the third quarter, the two sides entered the fourth quarter with a 96 tie.
There are seven timeouts per game in the NBA, and Steve Kerr was left with three timeouts just to be on the safe side.
The Lakers have Xu Tian dispatched on the court, and the number of timeouts is very small, and there are still four timeouts.
Scott called Josh Smith to his side and said: "Josh, when you were waived by the Pistons, Xu and Kobe firmly believed that you could contribute to the Lakers, so they spared no effort to recruit you. Now the team I need you, play the performance you deserve, and don't live up to the trust."
After listening to Scott's words, Josh Smith understood that he might have to play first in the fourth quarter, and nodded in response: "I am here to help the team compete for the championship, and no matter what I need to do, I will do my best." Finish."
"Defense. I need you to defend well. You have the ability." Scott looked directly at Josh Smith, as if to see through him.
Seeing the referee start to walk towards the court, Xu Tian realized that the fourth quarter was about to start, handed the towel and sports drink to Thackeray, and returned to the court to continue the game.
In this game, the two sides have been attacking each other, and the score is higher than the regular season, but everything is not over yet.This offensive battle must continue.
Xu Tian received the serve, dribbled the ball to the front court slowly, passed the ball to Kobe at the top of the arc, and took advantage of the trend to run without the ball.He has exceptional stamina and can sustain long jogs.
Harrison Barnes performed poorly and was replaced by Iguodala, who still defended Xu Tian.
Xu Tian ran to get rid of Iguodala's defense, received a pass from the right side of the free throw line, and shot directly from the open space.
Hollow into the network!
98-96!
Bogut picked up the ball, stepped out of the baseline, and served it to Curry.
Curry dribbled the ball to a position close to the center line, and passed the ball to Draymond Green before Xu Tian didn't stick to the defense.
Xu Tian followed Curry, who was running without the ball, and crossed the court horizontally, refusing to give him a chance.
Draymond Green looked at Josh Smith who was defending in front of him, changed his mind, and decided to break through directly.
Josh Smith's athletic ability is better than Draymond Green's. He always sticks to the side and does not give him room to attack.
Draymond Green thought he had a strength advantage, but this was just his illusion. He made a strong breakthrough and ended up being blocked.
Bogut picked up the offensive rebound, ignored McGee's defense, turned around and put the basket!
McGee looked at the right time, pressed the basketball with his right hand, and directly blocked the shot!
The referee whistles, and the defense interferes with the ball!
98-98!
Xu Tian served the ball in the backcourt, and then served it to Kobe.
Bryant dribbles up the court, looks at the Warriors' defensive formation, and realizes that this is a good opportunity to attack.It was too late and then too fast, dribbling the ball forward, passing Curry who was in charge of defense, and directly hitting the penalty area.
Curry didn't want to be passed, turned around and grabbed Kobe, and used fouls to stop him.Counting this time, he has committed four fouls.
The offensive time returned to 14 seconds, and the Lakers continued to attack.
Xu Tian sent the sideline ball to Kobe and continued to let him single-play Curry.This is the most effective way to limit Curry and reduce his vitality on the offensive end.
Curry's defensive habits are very good, but he suffered from physical confrontation, and was pushed near the free throw line by Kobe.
Klay Thompson couldn't stand it anymore, and ran to help defend, trying to help Curry relieve the defensive pressure.
Kobe often encountered double-teams when he was young, and it was common for two-man defense, turning around and taking off, and jumping back!
The basketball draws a perfect arc and hits the net with precision!
Tonight, he feels very good!
100-98!
Steve Kerr crossed his hips and looked at Kobe who turned and retreated, not knowing how much energy the legendary star still had in his body.What he doesn't know is that Kobe has tried his best.
Curry dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, and pushed Xu Tian slightly away as if struggling, trying to break through with the ball, but the space he squeezed out was not big enough to break through the defense.
Klay Thompson came out to meet, took the ball, dribbled to the three-point line, directly faced the defense, and tried a three-pointer!
The arc of the basketball is perfect, it just spins a little too fast and eventually pops out of the frame.
Bogut pushed McGee away with a small move, got an offensive rebound from the basket, and made another tip-up attempt.
Josh Smith gave up his defense on Draymond Green and sprinted to the lane to pin Bogut's layup on the backboard.
McGee reacted, caught the defensive rebound, and handed it directly to Xu Tian.
Xu Tian saw that George was about to go down, and without waiting for the Warriors to react, he made a long pass to the frontcourt.
George turned his head to look at the basketball, caught it with his right hand, adjusted his dribble, and dunked hard with both hands!
102-98!
Steve Kerr yelled at the players: "Hey! Be patient, don't rush to attack!" Before the sentence was finished, Curry's shot had already been shot!
Swish!
Three points!
102-101!
Curry felt the enthusiasm of the fans at the scene, took out the braces, and roared passionately.He seldom expresses his emotions like this, and he does so in order to reduce the pressure.
Scott looked at Curry, a little in awe of his [-]-point prowess.Just now he didn't have any shooting space at all, and it was difficult to see the basket, but he could score the ball in a few tenths of a second.This made him very impressed.
Xu Tian passed the ball to Kobe and continued to run without the ball.
Kobe advanced to the frontcourt, took the initiative to find a physical confrontation, and singled out Curry behind him.
Klay Thompson thought that Kobe would shoot himself again, give up the marking on George, and ran to double-team Kobe.
Kobe was not obsessed with offense, passed the ball laterally, and gave it to George who was emptied.
The fans in Oracle Arena unconsciously held their breath to see if George's throw could go in!
The basketball bounced three times on the hoop, and finally hit the net hollow!
105-101!
Mike Breen said: "The Big Three of the Lakers all showed their power tonight."
Mark Jackson said: "This is a point that people often overlook. The Lakers have three top perimeter players, and their strength is at the top level of the league. They are not challengers at all, but championship contenders."
Jeff Van Gundy said: "At present, the strength of the Warriors is almost the same as that of the Lakers, but I think the Lakers are slightly stronger. After all, their perimeter players are taller, and it is more difficult to deal with both offense and defense."
Curry connected Klay Thompson and responded with a three-pointer!
Answer Ball!
105-104!
After broadcasting the goal, Mike Breen teased the two partners: "It seems that your words were heard by the players on the field, so they responded to your remarks with your performance."
Xu Tian had already guessed that the game would not end easily, so he remained patient and ran out of the baseline to serve.
