Chapter 534: Lore! We are still number one!
The last two minutes of the game were a bit of a struggle.
After all, the Warriors' hand is not as good as the last game, but in terms of absolute strength, it does surpass the Lakers by a lot.
And although it is not obvious, the Lakers are not as strong as before in terms of mentality after the 15-game winning streak was ended.
So the two teams played until the last two minutes of the fourth quarter, and the score was still 98-96, and the Warriors only led by 2 points.
"The time below is critical! Draymond, after you receive the ball, don't rush to pass, let Klay and KD run first, Stephen, you go to cover, the main attacker of this ball is KD, the secondary attacker is Draymond yourself, once the other party is attracted to the attention of Stephen and Klay, the two of you must seize this opportunity, whether it is two points or three points, the other party should not choose to force a foul, but also to prevent it, absolutely don't hesitate when you can shoot, understand? ”
On the Warriors' bench, Kerr sat in front of the five starters, holding a strategy board to arrange his tactics.
"After this goal is scored, the defense still can't be messed up, Clay, your biggest task next is to guard Xu Xuan, including Draymond, except for Pachulia, the rest of the people are at your disposal to defend Xu Xuan."
Cole said cautiously.
Offense is important, defense is also important!
Otherwise, even if the ball is played and the opponent is not blocked, what is the point?
Clay replied solemnly, two minutes of time, at best, a few rounds, as long as you defend these rounds, there is no problem.
"Come on, everyone, whether you can sit on the first throne in the alliance or not, it's up to you now!"
After arranging the tactics, Cole clasped his hands together and said loudly.
"Come on!!"
"Come on!!"
The Warriors players put their palms together and held their palms high.
At this time, the audience could no longer sit still on the sidelines, and they all stood up to watch the game.
“defend!”
“defend!”
“defend!”
The fans stood up and cheered for the home team.
After standing up, the volume was much louder than when sitting, and the cheers at the scene were deafening.
The Warriors sideline ball is sent out.
Durant received the ball two steps away from the three-point line, did not rush to play after receiving the ball, protected the ball with both hands around his waist, and observed the situation on the court.
Here, Curry quickly came over to answer, the two passed the ball hand to hand, and after the cross run, Curry held the ball at the top of the arc and instantly attracted the attention of the Lakers, and at this time? Has Durant quietly fallen into the corner? Although Barnes didn't get distracted and followed up in time, most of the Lakers' defensive focus was on Curry, who was holding the ball.
"You can't be reckless, Curry doesn't have to be the last end." Xu Xuan raised his vigilance in his heart.
Really? Seeing that there are 14 seconds left in the offensive time, Curry still has no intention of shooting? And Green has already moved from the free throw line to the high post, Curry passed the ball directly with a small high throw, and he took Xu Xuan from the top of the arc to the bottom left corner.
Now the Warriors' Curry and Durant stand in the double bottom corner? Clay at a 45 degree angle on the left? And Green has dropped back to the top of the arc beyond the three-point line.
The location is settled.
At this moment? Curry suddenly accelerated from the left side and cut to the basket.
Xu Xuan followed to death? But he still forcibly rushed out of a way.
"Empty cut! Air cut! Be careful with air cuts! ”
Frank shouted from the sidelines.
Yi Jianlian and Randle also quickly adjusted the direction of their bodies, and Barnes also nervously turned sideways and prepared to go over at any time to make up for the defense? The Lakers' defensive attention was attracted again, and just like that, on the side of the body, Green didn't say a word, and passed the ball directly-
Is it the empty cut of Curry?
Or Clay with an empty seat in front of him at a 45-degree angle on the left?
Neither!
It's Durant in the bottom right corner!
Durant is also very cold-blooded, after receiving the ball, he didn't blink his eyes, and shot directly-
Bang!
Three-point hit!
Kill the game!
"Pretty!!"
In the Warriors' dugout, Kerr waved his hand fiercely, and the corners of his gum-chewing mouth laughed.
This goal did not disappoint him, 101-96, which is a difference of 5 points.
With 5 points, three rounds for a two-point shot and two rounds for a three-point shot, how can the Lakers have so many chances?
The odds of winning this game are huge!
And the Lakers obviously understand, but they can't help it, it's still the same sentence, the Warriors have too many people who can score, which ones can they defend?
This game has been played to this point, allowing the Warriors to score only 101 points, and it can be said that on the defensive end, the Lakers have done their best.
Xu Xuan held the ball across the half court.
The Warriors' defense has obviously improved a notch, and after a block, Green defended in front of Xu Xuan.
To be honest, there really wasn't a good chance, Xu Xuan was forced back by Green.
broke through Klay's first line of defense, but failed to break through Durant and Green in a row.
"Xu, you continue to break through, now I'm alone, maybe I'll break through this time." Green laughed at Xu Xuan.
Low.
Xu Xuan decided to try it with his back.
"What, yellow-skinned kid, are you going to with your big-butt-thigh? Yes! "How else to say that Green is annoying and disgusting, from Xu Xuan to the present, Draymond Green has not stopped talking.
Xu Xuan didn't speak, he hit Green on his back wholeheartedly, this time, Xu Xuan had to use skills to defeat the opponent, after all, Green was also a strong man, and Xu Xuan couldn't have an advantage in strength.
Suddenly, the Green behind him did not move, but Xu Xuan didn't expect this sitting to have any miraculous effect, after the sitting, Xu Xuan turned his back directly, and then squeezed Green, making a gesture to throw.
Green was still worried about Xu Xuan's shot, and when he saw that Xu Xuan was about to make a move, he hurriedly reached out to block it.
"Beep!"
The referee blows the whistle directly! Xu Xuan's forcible shot, the basketball directly threw out a very low arc, and then fell down, not in! But caused a foul on Green!
Two free throws!
And don't earn!
Ideally, he would be fouled from beyond the three-point line, but that would obviously be more difficult.
Under the wave of the audience chanting "MVP", Xu Xuan steadily hit both free throws!
101 to 98, a difference of 3 points.
Curry held the ball to the frontcourt to press time.
This time, he pressed into the attack with only eight seconds left to start.
It's still Xu Xuan's single defense.
Green blocks pick-and-roll.
Xu Xuan was passed.
Curry continued to change direction, and this time he didn't choose the mid-range, but forced the basket.
Yi Jian even Dapeng spreads its wings.
Directly interfered with Curry's layup.
"Boom!"
The basketball bounces high.
But.
A black shadow came out of the oblique side as if it were covering the sky.
It's Durant again!
It's still those unwavering eyes—
"Bang"!
The basketball that bounced high was smashed directly into the net by Durant with one hand!
The scene was restless, and Durant made a bloody achievement in these two rounds!
5 points in a row!
103 to 98!
The Warriors' bench is boiling over now!
No way, Durant is really fierce in these two rounds.
First it was a fatal three-pointer, and then it was this anti-heaven dunk!
It's a blast!
"KD, how many times have I said it, the most successful recruitment the Warriors have made this year, you see, these 5 points, to Curry, to Klay, which of them can get it?"
This is a bit too much, whether it is Curry or Klay, it is not difficult to hold 5 points, but relatively speaking, Durant is too stable and stable!
To put it mildly, 5 points are in hand.
"Seriously, it's really hard for me to believe that there is any other team in the league that is as strong and unbeatable as the Warriors, with an elusive ceiling and a KD bottom line, and this team no longer has any weaknesses!"
The Warriors' side is cheered up!
It's not that they're inflated, but with less than 1 minute left now, the Warriors can basically declare victory in this game.
But the Lakers, for their part, are not prepared to give up.
Frank asked for a timeout.
50 seconds of time.
"If nothing else, the most important thing for us now is to score and hold up, especially the three-point shot, if you can hit a three-pointer at this time, it can definitely play a vital role in the situation." Frank said slowly.
"Now we are at a disadvantage, don't have any psychological burden, shoot when you have the opportunity, don't worry about what happens if you can't shoot, there's no need for that, you have to be decisive."
It doesn't make sense for the backward side to think so much, if you throw it, you have a chance, and it doesn't matter if you don't invest.
Losing 5 points is no different than losing 8 points.
"Xu, you watch the fight, we have one more timeout, and I will be ready to use this timeout at any time."
Xu Xuan nodded.
Pause back.
Lakers sideline ball.
Xu Xuan led the half.
The Warriors' defense was all up, with four of the five men at the three-point line.
This is a three-point defense against the Lakers.
Five people pressed on.
Xu Xuan still broke through first.
The outside line is so defended, let's see if we can find a good opportunity for a breakthrough.
But the Warriors' defense came quickly.
It was Green again, blocking Xu Xuan near the high position.
It was blocked again.
Xu Xuan also lost his temper, and directly waved his hand to signal his teammates to pull away.
"Back-hitting? Does Xu Xuan still have to be beaten back? ”
Many people were surprised, but they didn't expect that at this moment, Xu Xuan used two back-hits in a row.
And Kobe, who was sitting on the sidelines, was happy.
"Boy, have you found out, it's better to memorize it at the critical moment, right?"
What is the characteristic of back play, that is, you can never have a chance to find an opportunity!
It was Xu Xuan's back hit again, Draymond Green showed joy, this was his chance, and he could get back on the field after preventing Xu Xuan's back hit.
So at that moment, Draymond Green stopped talking and began to defend Xu Xuan quietly and seriously.
High back singles, the hit rate is actually not very high, even Xu Xuan, can only ensure a hit rate of more than forty percent, but this hit rate of more than forty percent is already very terrifying, Xu Xuan hit Green with his back, Green defense is also very serious, Xu Xuan is also bottomless, after all, Xu Xuan's body that used to have an advantage in the back body is really not advantageous in front of Green, so he can only play back as much as possible and try to strive for a better chance of scoring.
After a few consecutive sittings, Xu Xuan made some progress slightly, and the two were already standing near the free throw line, so Xu Xuan began to shake from side to side, at this time, it was impossible to go further, so he could only rely on feints to shake Green.
Xu Xuan shook to the left, Green deflected to the left, Xu Xuan stretched out a tentative step to the right, Green also took a small step towards the right, when defending, Green was very cautious, and he was unwilling to give up any space to Xu Xuan.
Suddenly, Xu Xuan's feet accelerated, his left foot supported his entire body, he held the ball in both hands, and his right foot suddenly took two steps, snapping twice, Xu Xuan turned around! Right on the basket!
Green hurriedly took a step across to block, but Xu Xuan immediately dribbled the ball under his crotch, and then retreated directly with his left foot, a step-back jumper! The action was very coherent, Green was shaken by Xu Xuan's turning action, and when he reacted and pounced to block Xu Xuan's shot, the basketball had already shot!
Bang! Basketball in the net!
"Beep!"
At the same time, the referee blew the whistle in his mouth.
“2+1!”
Green shook his hand in annoyance, but still didn't prevent it, Xu Xuan used his back body skills to directly defeat Draymond Green!
"Xu Xuan's ball is beautiful, he singles with his back, shakes a shot after turning around, and then retreats and hits a jump shot! The whole offense, the technical movements are very coherent, it can be seen that Xu Xuan's back body technology has improved greatly, you must know that last season, Xu Xuan did not have the back body technology, but this season has just begun, Xu Xuan's back body can be called the top in the league. "It is Yu Jia who introduces Xu Xuan's back in detail.
Free throw hit.
103 to 101!
"Having said that, Xu Xuan's scoring has not stopped until now, and he and KD complement each other."
Warriors offense.
In the frontcourt, Curry began to press the time after taking half court.
They are still ahead, so there is no need to rush to attack.
Frontcourt.
Curry passes the ball to the Green organization.
Although Green doesn't like Durant very well, he can give up everything in order to win, so the ball is still given to Durant.
Outside the three-point line, after Durant received the ball, he shook past the desperate Barnes with a big loop.
But this time Yi Jian has made a meritorious service!
After Durant shook Barnes, Yi Jian even had to kill from the inside in time - a very risky move, but it helped the Lakers to survive.
[Mimi Read] ()
"Critical tackle! Critical steal! ”
"There are only 17 seconds left! Is it called a timeout? The Lakers have one more chance to take a timeout! With a two-point difference, they have a chance to turn the tables! ”
No timeout!
Frank didn't call a timeout!
At this time, the Warriors strengthened their defense against Xu Xuan, and the entire defensive center of gravity leaned towards him.
Easy to simply lift the upper block.
The Warriors went directly to Xu Xuan on a three-man defense.
Xu Xuanshao dribbled the ball and spent 5 seconds to get out of the encirclement.
Xu Xuan looked at the time, and then looked at the Warriors' defense.
Make up your mind.
Xu Xuan now just wants to kill the game with three points.
Xu Xuan's series of fancy moves caused a commotion among the fans.
After passing people.
Come to the three-point line on the right.
Xu Xuan took a simple step back.
Ethereal, fluttering, graceful like a dragon!
Clay pounced.
Xu Xuan pulled up domineeringly.
Against Clay's defense.
Let's shoot a backward "three-point rocket launcher"!
The ball is shot one.
Still gliding at the same time.
Time is pressed to death.
The lights are on!!!
"Whew!!"
