"Toot ......"

When they got back on the court, the Warriors changed their style of play, with Durant holding less of the ball and more of a tandem, somewhat similar to Green's role on the Warriors' lineup last season.
Of course, Durant's ability is by no means comparable to Green's, and even if he doesn't attack with the ball very much, he can still score.
On the Lakers' side, Chen Feng played a few times well, but considering that the fourth quarter was the key, Scott didn't let Chen Feng play for too long.
After a while, with Chen Feng being replaced, the Warriors were getting better and better, and the situation began to deflect, Scott just frowned and didn't do anything.
This is also a helpless thing, from the perspective of the lineup, the Lakers are indeed inferior to the Warriors, to beat the Warriors, you can only rely on the inferior lineup to play an advantageous offense.
To put it bluntly, I just hope that I can play as well as possible and the other party can make more mistakes.
Unfortunately, except for the first few minutes of the third quarter, the Warriors did not give the Lakers a chance, and the score gradually tilted in favor of the Warriors, until the end of the third quarter, when the Lakers trailed the Warriors by 12 points.
The difference of 12 points is not too much, but it is not too much to say less. Scott's brows furrowed, thinking in his heart, how can he overtake the score and win the reversal?
In the end, he set his sights on Chen Feng and Kobe.
Chen Feng played well in this game, but Scott deliberately controlled Chen Feng's playing time so that he could have enough physical energy to explode in the fourth quarter.
In addition, it is Kobe.
Kobe Bryant is older, although his strength is still there, but his physical fitness is irrepressibly declining, and there is no way to compare with young people. Fortunately, Scott has also noticed this problem, and has been paying attention to controlling Kobe's playing time, looking at Kobe's appearance, it should be no problem.
Thinking of this, Scott looked at Chen Feng and Kobe: "Chen, Kobe, it's up to you in the fourth quarter." We are 12 points behind, the form is not in our favour, and to turn the tables around in this situation, you can't rely on tactics alone, but also on your individual ability. ā
At the critical moment, you have to look at the core.
This is not an exaggeration, but a fact, the role of a key player is huge, especially in key moments, can make the difference between winning and losing a game.
"Coach, don't worry."
"We understand."
Chen Feng and Kobe Bryant nodded in unison, and they also knew the importance of the fourth quarter.
Seeing the two nodding, Scott felt a little relieved, and looked at Yu Qian again: "Yu, you did a good job, take a good rest, and continue to play later." ā
"Okay." Yu Qian nodded, sweat dripping big.
He wasn't much inferior to Durant in this game, but it was a huge test of his fitness.
By this time, Yu Qian's physical consumption was already very huge, far exceeding Chen Feng and Kobe, and by the second half of the fourth quarter, his role might be sharply reduced.
Yu Qian looked at Chen Feng, but saw that Chen Feng also looked over, and smiled at him: "Don't worry, there are Kobe Bryant and me." ā
"Hmm." Yu Qian nodded.
......
The whistle blows, and the fourth quarter begins.
At the beginning, the Lakers did not change the main lineup, because this section is a critical one, it will definitely fight fiercely, and the physical consumption of the players is also very large.
If the main players don't play, the Lakers are still losing to each other after all, and although the point difference is not very fast, it still opens up a little after all.
Four minutes into the fourth quarter, the margin was already 15 points.
At this time, Scott called a timeout, arranged tactics for Chen Feng, and then replaced all the main players.
On the side of the Warriors, they also replaced all the main players.
The Lakers attacked, Chen Feng advanced to the front court, first glanced at the situation on the court, and then made a block with Hibbert, suddenly pulled a step to the side, and raised his hand to shoot.
"Huh!"
The goal was scored, and the difference was 13 points.
However, turning around, the Warriors immediately returned the color, Curry passed the ball to Green, assisted Green to score, and also scored a two-point.
Fortunately, at this time, Kobe Bryant stepped up, first scored a breakthrough layup, then singled Thompson, turned over and leaned back, and hit again.
Yu Qian also received a wonderful pass from Chen Feng and scored a three-pointer.
Hibbert didn't score, Randle scored two points on free throws, and the Lakers played pretty well overall, and the margin quickly narrowed, and before they knew it, they were within 10 points.
Seeing this, Coach Kerr called a timeout, and arranged for the players under him, and when the timeout came back, they immediately played a counterattack and gave the Lakers a dismissal.
"The score difference is more than 10 points again." Yu Qian frowned.
"Don't worry, it'll be in the single digits in no time." Chen Feng smiled slightly, a cold light flashed in his eyes, slowly advanced, and after the front court, he and Hibbert made a block, copied the previous style of play, pulled a step to the side, stepped back a little, stood outside the three-point line with both feet, and was about to shoot.
You must not be allowed to succeed this time, Pachulia snorted and jumped quickly.
But at this moment, he found that Chen Feng didn't jump, and his heart suddenly screamed badly, but it was too late, Chen Feng jumped up and hit him, and threw the ball in his hand in the direction of the basket.
"Bang!"
"Toot!"
The ball didn't go in, but it got a foul, or a three-point foul.
"You're sinister." Yu Qian smiled and patted Chen Feng, "But I like it." ā
"I'm not tired of cheating, whoever makes him so simple, he jumps when I have a little foot." Chen Feng walked to the free throw line and steadily hit three free throws, and the difference immediately became 7 points.
This is not the end, after Chen Feng's free throw, Kobe Bryant hit a three-pointer again, and then played a 2+1, which suddenly narrowed the gap to only 1 point.
Seeing this, although Coach Cole was unwilling, he also had to call a timeout, and there were less than three minutes left in the quarter, with a difference of one point, and the outcome was unpredictable.
A group of Lakers players walked off the court and high-fived their teammates in celebration.
Scott also showed a smile on his face, patted Chen Feng, Kobe, and Yu Qian, and said with a smile: "Good job, especially Kobe." ā
"Huh." Kobe Bryant smiled indifferently.
This quarter is indeed Kobe Bryant's greatest credit, he scored 10 points alone, plus two assists, especially a three-pointer, a 2+1, very critical, directly stopped the Warriors.
Driven by Kobe, the Lakers not only chased the difference to only 1 point, but also gradually regained their morale and initiative.
The difference of more than a dozen points was chased to only 1 point, and the morale of the warriors is a big one, and the psychological pressure on them is not small.
