Even so, the Warriors did not apply for another timeout, and continued to play their quick counterattacks. However, their quick counterattack finally worked this time, and after Curry and Klay pulled the Lakers' defensive formation, Iguodala easily cut inside to catch the ball and complete a pull-up layup.

At this time, Shashewski took the initiative to apply for a timeout, which Popovich often does, in order to stifle the momentum of the opponent's counterattack in the cradle and not give the opponent a chance.

"Good guys, keep it up, just play three more quarters like this, and go home with victory!" Shashewski high-fived the players on the bench in turn, and when he high-fived Haugist, he specifically asked: "Is your physical strength still up to date?" Do you need a break? ”

"It's okay, but there are two and a half minutes left, and if I go down, it should be okay to keep the lead until the end of the first quarter, right?" Hoogist didn't feel tired yet, but he felt that there was going to be a tough fight in the latter part of the day, so he did plan ahead and take a break.

However, the Lakers withdrew their main team, and the Warriors only replaced Klay, leaving Curry and Green on the court, and Horgist sat on the court worriedly watching his teammates struggle against the onslaught of the splash. In the final two-and-a-half minutes, the Warriors went on a 6-2 run, but the Lakers eventually held on to a double-digit lead to end the first quarter at 30-20.

In the second quarter, Haugist couldn't sit still, and the opponent could play a wave of offensive climax to catch up with the score at the beginning of the second quarter, so Haugist replaced Jeremy Lin at the beginning of the second quarter and returned to the court. Young, Hoggist, Black, Nance Jr., and the Warriors also have a lineup that can be changed endlessly, Livingston, Barbosa, Iguodala, Barnes, Ezeli.

With a whistle, the second quarter of the game kicked off, the Warriors attacked the ball, Iguodala ran out of the wing to catch the ball and shoot a three-point jumper, angrily sent a tie, Hougist took off the rebound and dribbled back, and came to the top of the arc and was about to shoot back to chase three points, but the referee's whistle sounded in advance, and it turned out that Nance Jr. and Azeli were pushing people for a foul when they were fighting for position under the basket. This wave of ball possession was given out in vain.

The Warriors pushed back, and Barnes hit a jumper in the low post, and the margin returned to single digits. Reed dribbled to the frontcourt, and before he could organize an offensive referee's whistle sounded again, but this time the foul was committed by Aizeli when he was scrambling for position under the basket.

The Lakers sent the ball to the sideline, and Hougist ran to the strong elbow area to catch the ball and turned over directly to shoot the ball, Iguodala hugged Hoggist behind him, and ate the foul again, and also sent Hoggist to the free throw line. Hoggist stabilized his mood and continued his playful performance at the free-throw line since the start of the season, hitting 66 consecutive free throws after hitting both free throws.

Going back and up again, the Warriors continued to be efficient on the offensive end, with Livingston assisting Barbosa to hit a jumper in the high post against the defense. Haugist dribbled the ball over the half court and handed the ball to the reed who came to the top of the arc and ran to the side camera to move, the reed dribbled the ball to Barbosa, and suddenly made an emergency stop on the inside line to lift the ball and shook it, but the veteran Barbosa was experienced and did not come up to send warmth, so he hesitated and returned the ball to Haugist on the flank.

Haugist shook in the face of Iguodala's three threats with the ball, began to dribble from outside the three-point line, and suddenly pulled the ball with his left hand to his right side from behind when he advanced to the paint area, quickly turned and cut through Iguodala along the baseline and rushed to the basket with both hands to score, and the speed of action brought by strong core strength even Iguodala who was strong defensively had no time to react.

It's a pity that Reed's defense is also full of holes, even in the positional battle, he couldn't prevent Barbossa, and the Brazilian old lightning once again leaned on the reed to burst to the basket and hit the basket with a layup. Hoggist picked up the ball and sent it directly to Nick in the front court. Young, however, fought back against the eager Nick. Young failed to miss the jump shot under Livingston's interference, the Lakers frontcourt was not yet full, and the rebound was naturally easily accepted by the Warriors. Let's put it this way, the ball smashed directly out of the little white box on the rebound and bounced into Haugist's face.

For the first time in his career, Hoggist grabbed a rebound with his face, collected the ball and threw it to the reeds, rubbing his sore nose as he ran forward. The Reeds didn't wait for Hougist, and when he came to the frontcourt, he saw an opportunity to throw the ball to the basket, and Nance Jr. scored with a one-handed catch and an empty dunk from the diagonal spur.

The Warriors continued to attack, Livingston controlled the ball at the top of the arc and waited for his teammates to run, Barnes borrowed Vallejo to cover in the bottom corner and ran back to the line, cut inside after receiving the ball, dribbled the ball and moved laterally, took two big steps and jumped up from the other side of the basket to throw the ball to the basket. The ball slammed into the neck of the basket and bounced high above the timer, and then the ball luckily landed vertically and landed in the basket.

"Damn! It's a lot of luck, so you can get in! "Nick in the game against Barnes. Yang cursed in a low voice.

"Focus on Saggy, there's no need to be angry about this ball!" Hoggist reassured.

The Lakers patiently passed the ball in the frontcourt, looking for the most reasonable opportunity, but the reeds brushed out the basket in the open three-point position on the wing, but this time Barbosa's fast-break counterattack layup was successfully interfered with by the reeds, Horgist picked up the rebound and turned around to push the quick counterattack, but accidentally bumped into Iguodala who was standing behind him and tried to make a foul, the two fell to the ground at the same time, but the referee did not blow anyone for a foul, Livingston picked up the floor ball and rushed to the Lakers basket, jumped high and scored a low-handed basket through the reeds. At 36:30, the Warriors had chased the deficit to six points, and Shawzewski hurriedly called a timeout.

From a 10-point lead at the start of the second quarter to a six-point lead with eight minutes remaining, the Warriors' bench lineup is close to four points, and this is the first time that Hoggist has led the bench lineup to fail to suppress the opponent's bench lineup. Shashewski saw that the main players who had rested off the field were almost recovered, so he replaced them all back, and Coach K sent out a starting lineup at this juncture, hoping to stabilize the situation.

And the opposite Warriors acting head coach, Kobe's old teammate Luke Bryant. Wharton, however, played a trick and didn't let Splash or Green return to the court, just letting Speights replace Azeli.

After the timeout, Horgist played a pick-and-roll screen with Turner at the top of the arc, which they had done countless times but made a mistake when Horgist split the ball to Turner, and Turner suddenly buttered his hand possessed and threw the ball out of the baseline in the process of lifting the ball to the basket.

The Warriors got the ball to organize the offense, Livingston hit Jeremy Lin with his back in the low post, and attacked the basket with his trademark roll-over and back-to-back jumper, but the ball smashed on the side of the basket and rebounded back, Jeremy Lin received the rebound and dribbled forward, because no one ran a good opportunity, so it ended in a positional battle, Kobe Bryant asked for the ball in the front court, also hit Livingston in the low post, and also turned over and leaned back, but Kobe, who wanted to teach a man, also missed the basket with this shot, and the ball also turned over the rebound and fell outside the bottom line.

The Warriors used the dead ball to bring on Klay, while Curry and Green were still sitting on the sidelines to rest. The Warriors attacked the frontcourt, and Klay, who held the ball on the wing, drew the attention of the Lakers' defense, but he gave the ball to Speights in the low post. Speights was not even as tall as Hoogist and Randle, and such a short interior Turner was not taken into account at all, Speights made a jump shot one step away from Turner, but the ball was taken straight out of the air by Turner.

Haugist received the ball in the half court and quickly counterattacked and forced the basket, Barnes stood in the position and prepared to make Haugist's offensive foul, Haugist smiled slightly, and directly used the European step to pass Barnes, but he didn't expect Iguodala to predict Hoggist's route, and also blocked there one step ahead, Haugist couldn't avoid knocking over Iguodala again, and this time the referee did not hesitate to blow him for an offensive foul.

"I'm the best in the league in offense, and I'm not bad defensively! Hougist has frequently fallen into the defensive trap of the Warriors today, and it seems that Walton has made targeted arrangements! That's what defense is all about! Look at what the Raptors defense that day is called, the bag clip is not as good as our FMVP Iguodala one-man defense! The Warriors fans on the sidelines began to tremble, but it is also a fact that the Warriors' defense is indeed very different from the previous 13 teams, their defensive system is very complete, although Hougist opened the opening in the positional battle single Barnes and Iguodala were easily played, but once the speed was raised, the Warriors' defensive level was more three-dimensional, and in the process of fast operation, Hoggist did not have time to distinguish whether the opponent's defense was a trap or a flaw, so there were several mistakes in the fast break.

Kobe Bryant stepped forward and whispered while pulling Haugist: "Hey, Haugie, slow down, we're the leading side, you can't be more impatient than them!" ”

"They're chasing points very quickly, and that's not even the whole main force! , we want to take advantage of the gap now! Hougist muttered.

"Don't worry, we'll win! In positional warfare, you are a big killer with no solution, and when the speed slows down, we have more chances, even if you fight them infinitely, they can't withstand it! Bryant was relieved.

Hougist didn't have time to answer, the Warriors didn't wait for him to exchange tactics with Kobe Bryant and had already served and counterattacked, Hoggist listened to Kobe's words and began to force the Warriors to play positional offense, Klay missed Kobe Bryant in the paint area, and angrily swiped a three-way shot. Turner picked up a rebound under the basket and passed the ball to Jeremy Lin, who dribbled past half court and hit a two-point jumper in the elbow area with Kobe Bryant's cover, ending the Lakers captain's three-minute scoring drought.

Looking back, the Lakers continued to force the Warriors to play position, although Klay kept running back and forth along the baseline without the ball, but he couldn't run under Kobe's marking, Barnes in the bottom corner stopped the ball in front of Randle and hesitated for a long time, and finally made a strong shot, this kind of out-of-rhythm play is difficult to get a good result unless it is a superstar, and the rebound finally fell into Turner's hands after the ball hit the iron.

Jeremy Lin dribbled to the front court and found Hoggist, Hoggist held the ball from the wing and shook off Iguodala to break through to the low post, Klay who was marking Kobe Bryant in the bottom corner contracted to help the defense and tried to cut the ball, but Hoggist hit the ball through Klay's crotch with a backhand and gave it to Kobe Bryant in the bottom corner, Kobe stepped on the three-point line and shot an open two long points, easily hit the basket, and pulled the difference back to 10 points again.

This time it was Luke's turn. Wharton couldn't sit still, and he called a timeout to bring on Curry and Green to chase the points. The Lakers returned to the bench to rest, and Hoggist looked at Kobe Bryant with admiration, "The boss is really experienced, and slowing down to play the position has opened up the point difference." ”

Kobe Bryant smiled and explained: "I hit more iron than you fight, can I not have a lot of experience?" However, it is not that it is easier to score when you slow down and play the position faster than with the Warriors, but because we have taken the initiative to master the rhythm, if the rhythm of the game is in our hands, and the opponent does not know whether we want to be fast or slow, then their ability to predict in defense will be greatly reduced, and the opponent can't guess how we want to play, and the opportunity will naturally come out, which is the same as when you use the rhythm change when you break through 1 to 1, and everyone can figure it out. It's just that sometimes when you face a strong opponent, the more you get excited, the more you get excited, you forget a lot of things in your head, and patience is the key to winning! ”

Seeing that his teammates were all thoughtful, Kobe Bryant continued: "In fact, the Warriors are playing so strongly, not only because of their strength, but also because of their mentality, you see that they are behind at the beginning until now, but they have been unhurried in terms of personnel rotation, if other teams have been behind by 10 points, it is absolutely impossible to let their two main players rest off the court for so long, of course, except for the Spurs, Popovich's brain circuit is very weird, he can even let the five main players sit from behind to losing." ”

The joke about Popovich made the Lakers players laugh for a while, and their mentality unconsciously relaxed, and Shashewski added in a timely manner: "Kobe Bryant is right, we want to win the game, we can't keep an eye on the scoreboard, we care too much about the gains and losses of one or two goals, the first thing to win is the paper, and the second to win is the money, even if they overtake the score, it doesn't matter, as long as we can master the rhythm of the game, the victory will be ours in the end!" ”

"In the face of the weak team before, we can maintain a calm mentality even if we are behind, playing the Raptors and playing the Magic, we all won the game after falling behind at the beginning, and today we are facing the Warriors the same, even if we are overtaken later, don't be too impatient, you should hone everyone's mentality! Even if I'm 20 points behind, it's only a difference of 7 three-pointers, and don't forget that I'm the man who has made 17 three-pointers in a single game! The more the opponent wants us to be impatient, the more we have to be calm and see who can grind whom! Hoggist quickly adjusted his mindset and turned around to encourage everyone.
