Chapter 560: The First Victory in the Western Duel

At halftime, the atmosphere on the Warriors' side was a little awkward, and their performance in this game did not make the team happy, the three-point shot that they have always been proud of was completely inaccurate in this game, and the whole team only had a total of 25% three-point shooting rate, this shooting rate was unqualified from any point of view, plus the number of fouls on the main players was a little out of control, so in the second half, they had to find some ways to curb Ye Xuan's breakthrough, Otherwise, all that awaits them is losing. Fastest updates

The second half of the game started quickly, the Warriors possessed the ball, after the backcourt sent the ball, Curry quickly brought the ball to the frontcourt, and then handed the ball to Durant, let Durant hold the ball alone, and took a break of more than ten minutes halfway, which also allowed Durant to adjust his state a little, this time holding the ball alone Solomon Hill He did not disappoint his teammates again, and after two crotch dribbles, he hit two points with a breakaway pull-up jump shot.

Looking back, the Lakers still implemented the strategy of forcibly killing the opponent's key players, and directly let Wade hold the ball and single Klay Thompson, Thompson's defensive action is actually relatively small, so although Wade wanted to take the initiative to find a foul this round, he couldn't get it, but the foul was not deceived, but the ball was scored directly, which is not bad.

The Warriors saw that Durant's hand had recovered, and immediately handed over the ball to Durant, ready to let him single Hill again, but the Lakers will not let you get the chance to play singles all the time, and immediately let Wade wrap Durant, Durant immediately wanted to pass the ball to Klay Thompson, who was already vacated, but he didn't expect that as soon as his pass was shot, Ye Xuan over there had already started, and a goalkeeper made a steal like a ball and broke the ball directly. And Thompson, who was about to catch the ball, immediately pounced and grabbed Ye Xuan, and finally the referee gave a jump ball.

In terms of bouncing and the like, Klay Thompson is naturally not Ye Xuan's opponent, and he was originally shorter than Ye Xuan, so in the end the ball was slapped to Wade's side, Wade took the ball and took a few steps forward, and passed the ball back to Ye Xuan's hand again, this time due to the chaos of the jump ball just now, so there was a problem with the Warriors' defensive positioning, and Klay Thompson was forced to defend Ye Xuan, and this is also the reason why Wade handed the ball to Ye Xuan, Ye Xuan naturally would not give up this opportunity to attack Thompson alone, immediately opened the formation and prepared to break through the opponent, and Green didn't dare to let Clay Thompson risk a single defense against Ye Xuan at this time, so he immediately pounced over to prepare for the bag, but Ye Xuan's eyes were quick, and he directly sent the ball from Green's fast to Randle's hands, Randle took two steps inward to dunk, and the scum immediately pounced to make up for the defense, but because he started too late, it was useless at this time, and he could only jump up and become Randle's dunk background.

The Warriors' lineup still doesn't look very easy to use, the scumbag's movement speed is a big problem, and this lineup is now playing more average in the face of the Lakers' defense, so the third quarter only started for a minute, and the Warriors directly chose to replace the scum, replacing the scum with David West.

West can provide the Warriors with a certain amount of mid-range shooting ability and interior singles ability after he plays, but if you want him to open up the situation, it is not realistic, after all, West is already older, but at least in terms of offensive ability and his own movement speed, he is indeed a better choice than scum, although the team's rebounding ability will decline after he plays, but with Durant and Green to protect the rebound, it is not a big problem.

But it was this substitution that seemed to have no problem that made the Warriors suffer in the next few rounds, to say that among all his teammates, especially among these teammates played together by the Pacers, Ye Xuan's least favorite was David West, in the second year after winning the championship, Pickled Pepper almost announced the season reimbursement due to injury, but David West's approach made Ye Xuan very unhappy, regardless of the team's record, he directly started the pension mode, With an annual salary of nearly 17 million, but the plus-minus value of a game is minus ten, the most despised point for Ye Xuan is that when he faces the accusations of his teammates and coaches, he is not afraid of boiling water, although soon after leaving the Pacers, he gradually began to look for the state of the game again because of various doubts from the outside world, and rejuvenated in the regular season of this season, but for Ye Xuan, this kind of player is indeed not worthy of respect at all.

So after Ye Xuan was replaced, he made up his mind to give him some color to see. The game continued, the Warriors attacked, and after replacing the scum, their overall running fluidity was improved, but the problems on the feel were still not improved, so in the end their offense in this round ended in iron, but for them, there is also good news, because at least the tactics are successful to run, as long as the feel is up, they can quickly chase the score.

But looking back, Ye Xuan doesn't give you too much time to brew, and directly and quickly advanced to the front court and called Gasol to come forward to help block and dismantle, and the Warriors also used the change of defense tactics in an instant, but after this change of defense, Ye Xuan did not directly force a breakthrough, but pulled back two parts, and retreated to outside the three-point line, and the West who changed the defense could only be forced to follow, Ye Xuan was not polite to him, and directly continued to shake the feints, but it just didn't break in, after several large changes of direction, Ye Xuan started suddenly, but when David West just kept up with the footsteps, he suddenly took another step back, and the basketball was pulled back from behind David West, and the audience at the scene immediately cheered when they saw Ye Xuan's streetball-style action, and Ye Xuan no longer saved face for David West at this time, and directly accelerated his pace to start again, and then took two steps past the opponent's throw and hit the ball.

David West was basically played by Ye Xuan like a stake throughout the whole process, and the audience at the scene obviously liked this kind of arrogant personality player very much, after seeing Ye Xuan teasing the opponent like this, they all cheered wildly, but the referee was also a little overwhelmed, although he didn't directly say that Ye Xuan's ball was a violation or foul, but it also symbolically reminded him not to do this.

In the next few minutes, the Warriors' offense seemed to be stimulated by Ye Xuan's provocation just now, and the shooting rate began to have some momentum of recovery, but now their point difference has been gradually stretched to almost twenty points, and now they are starting to feel warm, and I don't know if they are in a hurry, but the offensive efficiency of the Warriors is really nothing to say, as long as the feeling is normal, their ability to chase points is definitely one of the best in the league, and after a few rounds, Klay Thompson, Curry and Green each hit a three-pointer, although the difference was only narrowed by 4 points, but it also changed direction to tell everyone that the counterattack began.

It's just that as soon as the horn of their counterattack sounded, they were poured a basin of cold water again, Ye Xuan used the breakthrough point to send the ball to Wade's hands, and Wade also chose to break through after receiving the ball, and after entering the penalty area, he caused Klay Thompson's foul again, and the entire Warriors team was quiet in an instant, because this was Clay's fourth foul, and Kerr also complained to the referee helplessly on the sidelines, and then replaced Klay Thompson.

After receiving such a blow, the Warriors' offensive efficiency dropped again, not because Klay Thompson was really critical to the Warriors to the point that he couldn't do it, but because of the feeling of being discouraged after being directly forced down by the opponent, which made the Warriors feel a little desperate.

The next plot has become relatively simple, the Lakers have been playing with the Warriors since the second quarter, although the score seems to have been more than ten points ahead of the Lakers, but these are basically the leads achieved in the first quarter, and in the next quarter of more than one game, the difference between the two teams has not continued to expand much, and the Lakers are now seizing the opportunity of the Warriors' morale decline to give the opponent a fatal blow.

So the offensive Xiao Gao Chao came immediately, and after Gasol blocked and dismantled the outside line, he received Ye Xuan's return pass and hit three points, which opened the second wave of the Lakers' offensive tide in this game, and this time, the Lakers' purpose was to kill the game directly. Gasol hit a three-point shot, and then Solomon Hill also hit a mid-range shot, Wade and Randle also fired one after another, Ye Xuan's side of the assist was simply happy, a few rounds later, although the Warriors still did not give up the game under the tenacious persistence of Durant and Curry, but the score gap has been quietly opened to 21 points.

Wharton Jr. was also very benevolent at this time, choosing to use a dead ball opportunity to replace the main players to rest, but he did not give the opponent too many opportunities to counterattack, but replaced players like Matt Barnes, Clarkson and Felton, although the offensive vitality of this substitute lineup is not very good, but if you want to talk about defense, it is still not too bad, so this lineup can not only ensure that the opponent will not quickly narrow the score gap, but also can effectively consume the physical strength of the opponent's main forces.

Maybe it's because the Lakers should have won this game, so after this lineup was replaced, the Warriors' offense didn't have the effect it should have, and Wharton Jr. felt that he might be gradually forced by the opponent to get the score closer, but what he didn't expect was that Clarkson's two consecutive three-pointers were like precise guidance, hollow into the net, and these two three-pointers basically completely shattered the Warriors' counterattack hopes.

However, since it is a playoffs, even if it is 25 points behind, it is still necessary to work hard to chase points, so the Warriors are still insisting, and they did not directly replace the main force to announce their surrender, they simply made personnel adjustments, and then began to continue to chase points, and their two substitutes also played a decent game, Livingston used his height advantage to single Filton a few times, helping the Warriors gradually narrow the difference to about 20 points.

At the end of the third quarter, the Lakers led the Warriors by 19 points at 89:70, although the Warriors recovered nearly ten points in the later period, but the physical exertion of their main players was also very large, and at the beginning of the fourth quarter, Steve Kerr also had to replace Durant, who played the third quarter, to take a break, and replaced it with Klay Thompson, who had rested for a long time, and Curry, who had just been replaced by Livingston.

In fact, at this time, the Warriors are just relying on their own will to insist, this game has a home court advantage in the opponent, and their team's hand is relatively bad, and the main players have suffered injury troubles, the Warriors can play like this is very good.

And Ye Xuan also knows that the opponent is almost to the limit now, and now what he needs to do is to put the last straw that crushes the camel, so after going on the court, Ye Xuan changed his crazy passing style in the third quarter of the game, and began to attack with the ball in various ways, because he has Kevin Martin's foul-making skill package, so when Ye Xuan wants to cause a foul now, he mostly uses feints to shake the opponent or take the initiative to lean on the opponent after the breakthrough to cheat the foul, and this style of play is very effective. After playing for a few minutes, Ye Xuan caused many fouls on the Warriors again, the most important of which was Ye Xuan's foul on Klay Thompson outside the three-point line, which made the opponent carry the fifth foul and brought the Lakers' lead back to 20 points.

In the end, the Lakers defeated their Western Conference Finals opponent Golden State Warriors 114-98 on their home court, and won the first game of this series. Almost no one could have imagined that the Warriors would lose by so many points, and the outside world's evaluation of the Lakers had to be reevaluated.
