Chapter 233: A Painful Tug of War (3/3)
At the beginning of the second quarter, the game was fine, and the Warriors players felt nothing, and they were all full of fighting spirit!
But in the second half of the quarter, it was clear that the players were feeling powerless.
This is mainly due to the fact that in the last game, the Warriors' players and opponents have not fully recovered their physical fitness.
I came to Toronto the next day, didn't make any adjustments, just warmed up in the opponent's stadium and started the game.
It was fine at first, but then it became really difficult for them.
Curry then went up and played 3 minutes of the game, and the first half ended in the end!
Green was fine, but his teammates were mostly miserable.
Some of them didn't recover from their physical fitness, and some of them didn't sleep well last night.
After winning the last game, the players were more excited.
At this time, it is usually okay to rest the next day, but they are directly here by plane, and some players simply don't come to the mental state.
And the problems on the scene during today's game also made some players uncomfortable.
......
! The performance of the Raptors made the home fans at the scene very excited!
Curry was substituted in the third quarter of the game. But in the end, it still left the team 12 points behind.
In the last few minutes of the second quarter, Li Feng was replaced.
Because the system can't get in now, Li Feng can't go to the lottery house immediately to exchange for physical strength candy.
This caused Li Feng's physical fitness to decline very quickly in the second quarter of the game!
As soon as Wharton saw Li Feng's appearance, he immediately asked him to come down and rest. After Li Feng was missing on the field, the rhythm of the game immediately became uncontrollable!
In the third quarter of the game, Li Feng also slept a little.
It's really tired, no. The players didn't pay much attention to Li Feng either.
Wharton: "But now I think Iguodala should go up, the team can't defend against the opposition players now!"
That's key, and the Warriors' main offense is at guard, I think ......."
The general consensus on the coaching staff's side at this point was that Barnes should go up and play the final quarter.
Although he has been on the court in the third quarter, although his physical fitness has declined significantly, since he has to fight with the opponent, he must replace as many players as possible who can score.
But this point diverges with Wharton's view.
Wharton felt that Iguodal should be pulled up.
Wharton: "Alright! I'm the manager of the team now, that's it! Barnes went down to rest, and he might not continue to let him play.
In the final quarter, Vallejo, Green, Iguodala, Li Feng and Curry were the combinations.
Li Feng: How are you feeling now? ”
Li Feng: "Physical fitness is no problem"
Wharton: "That's it, no more discussions!" ”
That's all there is to it. Wharton made a quick decision. This made the coaches on the Warriors coaching staff a little uncomfortable.
You're a young man, but now you're quite a leader, right?
But they could only listen to Wharton's words and couldn't refute him, because Coach Kerr personally said in the hospital that he asked Wharton to lead the Warriors.
These coaches already wanted to see Wharton's jokes at this point.
Hehe, don't they all say you're good?
It depends on how many wins you can get when Coach Kerr isn't in charge of the team.
The lineup for the final quarter of the game on the Raptors' side has come out. They are Valanciunas, Biyombo, Carroll, DeRozan and Lowry.
These are the top five players tonight!
Both Biyombo and Carol have great physical fitness!
The Raptors feel like they are strong at this time!
The final quarter is a game, and if all goes well, they might beat the Warriors by a big beat, on their home court tonight!
Curry: "The Raptors are really tough, the team needs you at this time, Li Feng"
Li Feng: "I will try to organize the competition as well as possible. I'm going to organize the game with Green, Green, you're going to have less defense, and you're going to organize the team with me.
I just watched it off the pitch and it was mainly about the rhythm. If we have a good rhythm and accurate shooting, there will be basically no problem! ”
Greene: "Okay. I listen to your Li Feng! Spend less time defending and more time organising your team. ”
The team has won so far, and naturally every player doesn't want to lose in their hearts. They want to keep on winning streaks!
At this time, the faces of the opposing players showed confident smiles.
No matter how strong the team is, in Toronto, it may not be easy to win against the Raptors. Probably losing this game.
Even the Warriors.
Li Feng took over the basketball, and at this time he was really going to fight with the Raptors.
The main use is your own dribbling ability and organizational skills! This skill will make the Kidd Blue Pass Pack work.
But because of the limitations of the Raptors' combat power, Li Feng is not fully sure that he can play the next game well.
Curry suddenly received a pass from Li Feng, and then he threw the ball in the air to Vallejo, who turned and scored points with a close-range jumper!
Vallejo let out a sigh. At this time, what can support the players on the floor for the Warriors is that there is still one quarter of the game, and the game is over.
The vacation that Wharton promised could sleep well, and the various arrangements for the vacation were too late to think about now.
Other than that, the rest is not taken into account.
When will Kerr come back and whether or not Wharton's coaching ability will work or not, these questions have been thrown aside.
Lowry got his teammate's serve and rushed directly across the halfcourt, and DeRozan hit a three-point shot after receiving his pass!
Green received the ball and motioned for Li Feng to hurry over as well. After the two said a word, Li Feng immediately ran over.
Then Dream Chaser was caught by DeRozan and Carroll, but in the end he broke through in the backcourt!
Greene: "You two want to keep me at bay too?" What a joke! Let you practice for another 5 years, maybe you can prevent me! ”
Carol: "Do you have what it takes to attack on your own?" Look how we give you a blood cap, you self-defeating one! ”
Green laughed at Carroll's sudden response.
So he pretended to be really attacking himself, and passed the ball to Curry when he attracted three defenders. The latter got up and hit a three-point hollow hit!
Carroll: "Don't you dare to shoot, do you?" Green, you can't get past my defense at all! ”
Greene: "Hey I say, kid. Don't challenge my abilities. I was just giving you the stairs down, bro."
Carroll: "If you can't score, you can't score!" Less special nonsense there! ”
As he was talking about the basketball passing, Carroll wanted to dunk on the Dream Chaser, but Green stiffly pressed the ball down in the air!
Carroll didn't have time to panic, Green had already dribbled the ball past.
Carol, who was immediately annoyed, chased after her. Green also deliberately slowed down.
Seeing Biyombo coming over, Green took a step back.
Carol had a mocking smile on her face at this point.
But the smile disappeared from his face in less than five seconds.
Green rushed over, knocked Biyombo to the ground and dunked with one hand to score points!
When the referee blew the whistle, Green looked at Carroll, shook his head with a smile, and then walked to the free throw line to score the ball.
Lowry: "Carroll, don't fight him, just pass the ball over when the time comes." Pass it to me or DeRozan, don't go it alone."
Carol nodded immediately. Didn't say anything more.
He felt as if he had really underestimated Green's abilities just now.
DeRozan quickly went to the frontcourt and scored a jumper after passing Curry and Li Feng!
Curry also dribbled and slowed down after halftime. So far in this game, except for Green, the rest of their players are playing by willpower.
Moe God feels better. But Iguodala and Li Feng around him were already tired.
But at this time, the two of them can't rest. And Vallejo.
You can only fight with your opponent to the end and win the victory.
Curry was heavily guarded by his opponent at this point. Li Feng got his pass, faced Carroll's help defense, and the basketball came to Iguodala, whose jumper was covered by Biyombo!
At this time, Carroll and Biyombo are mainly responsible for the defense of the interior line, including the defenders who rush in.
Lowry hit a three-pointer this time, Green immediately got the rebound, and then passed the ball straight to Li Feng.
Li Feng received a pass from Dream Chasing, and immediately jumped up after half time and hit a three-point shot!
......
The Raptors are back on the court after the final timeout of the game. The Warriors, like them, didn't make any substitutions.
! At this time, the Raptors still lead the Warriors.
It feels like victory is still not far from them.
With a score difference of 4 points, even if he is chased by the other party in the end, he is still 1 point away. But as long as they can stay ahead until the end, the game is won!
The Warriors are still too strong. The other teams in the league are now strong and want to win against them to prove their team's strength!
The way the players here bared their teeth one by one made the Raptors feel very comfortable after watching it.
Vallejo's state at this time remembers what he was like when he played in the playoffs with the Cavaliers.
At that time, the whole team was counting on James, and although the rest of the players were also working hard, they just couldn't play the data of the team's first brother.
Vallejo was fighting side by side with LeBron at that time to fight every game!
Lowry dribbled over half the court at this time, and DeRozan missed a three-point jumper after receiving the ball!
After Li Feng got the rebound, he turned around and wanted to accelerate, but was stopped by the small steel cannon.
Not long after the two of them, Li Feng fell to the ground!
Lowry immediately pounced and grabbed the ball with Li Feng!
The referee immediately came to stop them. Because Lori and Li Feng's actions are very intense!
In the end, it was Lori who pushed Li Feng hard. Then Li Feng slid directly out two meters away.
Green: "Are you okay, Li Feng?" I'm fine, I won't quarrel with him~"
Seeing that Li Feng was afraid that he would reason with Lowry, Dream Chaser immediately comforted Li Feng and directly dragged him up.
The two guards were there to prepare, the referee threw the ball, and Li Feng slapped the ball directly to Green!
At this point, Curry has been waiting for a long time!
Seeing Green's ball passing, Curry turned around directly and hit a long-distance three-point shot for a jumper!!
! After seeing the shot, the fans at the scene began to chant!
"Defend! Defend! Defending ......"
DeRozan then dribbled and faced the Warriors' defense, allowing Iguodala to pick up his sixth foul of the game.
Barnes was called over by Wharton and then replaced Iguodala, who was sent off.
The margin is back to 4 points.
Green quickly dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, this time Curry was sandwiched by the opponent's two, and Li Feng got the ball and passed it to Barnes.
looked for players who defended themselves twice, and finally saw that Carol of the opponent deliberately did not guard himself......
Barnes didn't think much of it, got up and hit a three-point shot!
Then the Raptors made a mistake in a hurry! Cut off by Green on serve! Li Feng catches the ball in the bottom corner and hits a three-point shot!
At this point, the on-site game time is almost over.
DeRozan: "Lowry, do you pass the ball?" Or give it to me. Good"
Look at Lori's appearance. DeRozan already had a number in mind at this time.
Xiao Gangcannon rushed to the front court with the ball himself, faced the bag of Green and Barnes, and finally hit a very difficult step on the line 2 points!
There are 3.9 seconds left in the game! Wharton looked at the time, and then immediately called a timeout.
Wharton: "One to be aware of. Who does basketball end up for? In this way, Li Feng will finally make the last shot!
Green, you serve, just throw it directly to Li Feng. Rest everyone. ”
Although he was basically running back and forth in the fourth quarter of the game, the sweat on Li Feng's face was flowing vigorously at this time.
Greene: "Kill them!" ”
Dream chasing said that he came back again, took the basketball on the sidelines, and immediately passed the ball to Li Feng.
But Green feels bad! The Raptors' prediction turned out not to be Curry!
As soon as Li Feng got the ball, he was caught by four people!
But apparently the Asian player didn't panic. He got the basketball and made a shot with a lot of movement!
Then he was "beaten" to the ground by the Raptors player!
Green and Iguodala were in a hurry! Players from both sides immediately went over to pull the fight.
What is somewhat surprising is that the referee did not blow any penalty in the end, and perhaps the game is almost over. So it can be seen clearly in terms of blowing penalties.
Li Feng wanted to go to the free throw line, but was finally stopped by the team doctor.
Blood slid down Li Feng's hair.
Team Medic: "Minor injuries." Li Feng: How do you feel? He was taken to the hospital as soon as the match was over. I just don't feel like there's anything wrong with it. But it has to be checked. ”
The wound was treated simply.
Li Feng came to the court again and missed the first two free throws. The fans at the scene were cheering enthusiastically!
Fortunately, Li Feng didn't seem to feel good at this time.
Two free throws, one basketball iron, one brush in the basket three laps and then out.
Taking a deep breath, Li Feng dribbled the ball in his hand a few more times......
At this time, Li Feng thought that the game would end immediately.
This time, Li Feng's free throw basket hit the board and went to the basket! The faces of the players on the Raptors' side changed all of a sudden.
It was just a draw. As long as Li Feng hit 3 free throws and 0 hits, the Raptors will definitely find a way to win the Warriors in overtime!
But there were still 0.7 seconds left in the race time......
Valanciunas arrived on the sidelines, his eyes a little dazed. Lowry quickly rushed to a position not far from midfield.
After the basketball was released, the small steel cannon turned directly in the air and threw the ball!
The basketball slammed into the hoop!
Wharton holds his hands in the air, thank goodness! This game was won by their Warriors!
Li Feng was immediately escorted out by the team doctor and two staff members.
Green didn't celebrate too much, he walked briskly in the direction of Li Feng, ignoring his teammates around him.
