Chapter 565: The West Sees Blood

However, Wharton Jr. was obviously not ready to call a timeout immediately after the opponent called a timeout, so he did not replace Hibbert immediately, but still let him play with Ye Xuan on the court. Ye Xuan also used this tactic as usual, calling Hibbert at the top of the arc to block and dismantle, and then breaking through to the inside, but this time Ye Xuan did not continue to return the ball to Hibbert, but directly leaned on Iguodala to force the ball up, this is also because the Warriors did not let other players come over to cover themselves, so Ye Xuan chose to play by himself, after all, if you pick up one person, Ye Xuan's shooting rate is still very good.

In retrospect, the Warriors were not able to use Hibbert's movement speed to make a fuss as they imagined, because their offense ended directly without even a chance to shoot, and the reason was that Steve Kerr was furious off the court, because this attack Curry passed the ball to Klay Thompson just after halftime, and as a result, Thompson dribbled and dribbled his feet, and directly sent a mistake, giving the ball to the Lakers.

The Lakers continued to attack, Ye Xuan saw that the tactical opponent in the first few rounds still hadn't cracked, so he decisively continued to hold the ball at the top of the arc and called Hibbert to come over to block and dismantle, this time the Warriors finally learned to be obedient, and directly changed the defense after the block, and by the way, there were players who came from the side to prepare the bag, which made Ye Xuan unable to pass the ball to Hibbert for him to play alone, and he couldn't find an empty player to pass the ball, so he could only choose to deal with it himself, and after dribbling it twice, Ye Xuan decisively came out again, Coming to the three-point line, a Buddha worship action and then continuing to break through inward, this feint also successfully shook Iguodala a little, so that he was not able to keep up with Ye Xuan's footsteps, and Ye Xuan was not ready to continue to rush inward, after all, the inside Green and Durant were still there to fight with their teammates, so Ye Xuan came to an emergency stop near the free throw line and hit the ball again.

In just over 3 minutes of the opening game, Ye Xuan used this 14-15 season Pacers tactics to help the team score a lot of points in a row, and the Warriors naturally couldn't call a timeout again to adjust, so they could only let the players continue to play. At this time, the Lakers' lead has gradually emerged, and the explosive touch of the Warriors in the last game is also slightly worse in this game, so the pressure on the Lakers on the defensive end is also less.

The game continued, Curry once again controlled the ball and came to the front court, in the face of Ye Xuan's defense, he can only be a pitcher without the ball, with Ye Xuan's non-stop running, so that at least Ye Xuan's physical strength can be consumed, Ye Xuan's offensive options in this game are very simple, there has never been a kind of action that requires difficult feints and other physical strength consumption actions to complete, after all, in the last game, he used up all the two bottles of physical strength recovery potion, if he consumes too much physical energy in this game, By the time of the last session, it is estimated that the food will be closed again.

In the next two rounds, the Warriors gradually regained their touch, from Curry to Durant breaking through the ball, and after receiving the ball, Schoolbag Du made a feint to shake off the pounced Solomon Hill, and then directly hit the inside line and forced him to pull up and dunk, Gasol obviously knew that he couldn't cover the opponent, so he simply hugged the opponent directly.

In this way, it is better to cut off the opponent's hope of dunking on his head, and although he made two free throws, it is better than letting the opponent dunk at home and then take advantage of the momentum. And it just so happened that Hibbert had been playing for a while, and the Lakers took advantage of this dead-ball opportunity to replace Hibbert, after all, he did lag a little behind on the defensive end, although the offensive end was really good.

At the end of the Lakers' substitution, Durant also hit his second free throw to narrow the gap to six points. The Lakers serve in the backcourt, and the Lakers who replaced Clarkson don't have to worry about anything in defense, but in this way, the Warriors have no disadvantage on the inside, and the Lakers did a good job of protecting rebounds in this game, and the opponent was not given the opportunity to rush to grab the frontcourt rebounds for a few minutes after the substitution, and it was precisely because the backcourt rebounds were well protected that the Lakers' offensive shots were several more times than the opponent.

The game has been going on for more than 7 minutes in a blink of an eye, and the Lakers are taking advantage of Ye Xuan, Solomon Hill and Hibbert in the early stage of the game to slowly consume the opponent, although Ye Xuan has reduced the kind of breakthrough that kills in the opponent's restricted area in this game, but he still used the feint action of shooting to cheat 5 free throws, one of which is 2+1.

At this time, the Lakers finally called out their first timeout of the game, after all, the score and situation were ahead of the opponent in the whole game, and Clarkson hit all two shots after he came on the court today, and he seemed to be in good shape, so Wharton Jr. was also very relieved to replace all the other main forces except Gasol, and replaced them with Randle, Nick Young and Raymond Felton.

After the pause, the Lakers controlled the ball, and after Felton received the sideline serve, he quickly passed the ball to Clarkson, at this time the defender in front of Clarkson had become Ian Clark, the names of these two people always feel a little weird, fortunately, Clarkson's name is longer than the opponent, and his personal ability is better than the opponent, using Gasol's blocking to easily get rid of Clark's defense, and then hit a shot steadily, I have to say that Clarkson's shooting rate today is indeed very good, Since the beginning of the game, he has scored 7 points on three shots and three shots, which is the player with the most points except for Ye Xuan.

And in this second lineup on the Warriors' side, although there are still Durant and Curry, the way the two of them handle the ball in the face of the bag is not as good as the last game, which has led to the Warriors playing until now The shooting rate has not improved in the slightest, plus David West and McGee on the inside are moving slowly, and the other is a little bit of a bad brain, and they were dizzy by Gasol alone, but when Ye Xuan was replaced again in the last minute of the first quarter, The Warriors have unknowingly trailed by 10 points, and Gasol hit three consecutive low shots in the middle of the few minutes that Ye Xuan was off the court, which was the main reason why the Lakers were able to extend their lead.

Ye Xuan was replaced, Gasol, who was tired of the whole game, retired, and Clarkson also completed his mission as a substitute and was replaced to rest with Gasol, while the court became Ye Xuan with Solomon Hill, Nick Young, Randle and Speights. In fact, if you want to talk about offensive firepower, maybe this lineup is stronger than the firepower of today's starting lineup, after all, there is a Hibbert in the starter, and his projection ability is indeed a little weak, but the defensive ability of this lineup is much worse.

And this weak defensive weakness was also seized by the opponent, Klay Thompson used his running position to avoid Nick Young's pursuit for two consecutive rounds, and then received a pass from his teammates to shoot, which made the Lakers' defensive formation look a little vulnerable, but fortunately, after these two shots, the first quarter of the game was over, and in the middle Nick Young also made up for it and hit an accurate three-pointer, so the score was not much narrowed by the opponent.

However, at the end of the first quarter of the game, Wharton Jr. also grabbed Nick Young aside and trained a few words, after all, the team has been having a headache for his defensive problems this season, and he himself has improved his defense a little through training and hard work in the regular season, but I don't know why this game suddenly got dizzy, and now Wharton Jr. can't just abandon him because of his defense, so I can only hope that he cheers up a little in the second quarter.

The second quarter of the game started quickly, the Warriors served the ball in the backcourt, Green slowly controlled the basketball from the backcourt to the frontcourt, Durant began to prepare to hold the ball and play alone after receiving the ball, first using Green's blocking to avoid Speights's defense, and then two steps into the restricted area to directly split the dunk with one hand, this ball made Randle a little unresponsive, so there was no one on the inside to interfere with Durant. This made little Wharton on the sidelines thunderous, and he almost had to learn from Old Man Zhuge to come to a wave of hair dryers.

But fortunately, the Lakers' offensive tacit understanding is still very good, the Lakers' offense in this round fully illustrates their tacit understanding, Nick Young used Ye Xuan's running without the ball to raise the cover, and directly pocketed out to the left 45-degree angle to catch the ball, Iguodala on the side hurried over to make up for the defense, but Iguodala didn't expect that Speight's passing action was just a false shot, Iguodala went over to make up for the defense and directly leaked Ye Xuan, Ye Xuan directly held the ball and rushed to the opponent's penalty area.

Green was about to come over to make up for the defense, but unfortunately Ye Xuan sent it very calmly with a low hand, and directly handed the ball to Randle, who was opposite Green, and Randle no longer hesitated after receiving the ball, and directly pulled up a two-point shot and hit the ball. Curry brought the ball to the Pacers' halfcourt, and then passed the ball to Durant, hoping that Durant would score points on the outside single, but at this time, Speights, who was responsible for defending him, was like a defensive master, stuck Durant's position, and under the stalemate, Durant could only choose to pass the ball to Green on the inside again, hoping that Green could win the single on the inside, but when Green was still entangled with Gasol, Ye Xuan quietly touched it, directly knifed the ball in Green's hand, and then grabbed the basketball he snatched, and quickly rushed towards the opponent's half.

Iguodala and Curry and others hurriedly returned to defense, but Ye Xuan was obviously not ready to give up the opportunity to break quickly, after rushing through the halfcourt, the speed was still unabated, and he rushed directly towards Curry, who had retreated to the three-point line, and then burst into an emergency stop outside the three-point line, which scared Curry and immediately pounced to block it, but Ye Xuan was just a Buddha worship action, after shaking off Curry, Ye Xuan easily entered the Warriors' restricted area in two steps and smashed the ball into the opponent's basket with one hand.

Ye Xuan's fast-break one-stop dunk also caused a boo from the audience, Ye Xuan followed up and made his own signature celebration move, and the audience's boos were getting louder and louder, but Ye Xuan didn't care about the attitude of these fans in Golden State, after all, since the last time he came here to play, after the conflict with the Warriors broke out, Ye Xuan had already regarded the Warriors as his sworn enemy in the NBA, and Ye Xuan's indifferent expression also made the players on the Warriors' side very depressed.

But they had no choice but to helplessly watch Ye Xuan pretend to be crazy on the field. But as the saying goes, pretending to be forced by lightning, Ye Xuan was still pretending to be forced here, and he was immediately slapped in the face by Durant, after getting the ball in the front court, he made a block with Iguodala, and then quickly cut into the inside, Ye Xuan was forced to change the defense to make up for Randle's vacancy, but Durant saw that it was Ye Xuan in front of him, and decisively chose to hit the back directly, and after carrying it twice, Ye Xuan was still knocked away, and Leonard turned around and threw at this time to easily score two points. If Ye Xuan is asked to defend Curry or Thompson or the like, Ye Xuan can still do it, but Durant's height and arm span are much better than Ye Xuan's, plus the weight disadvantage, so he has no good way to face Durant's offense.

Ye Xuan was also very unconvinced, and immediately ran to the frontcourt, and then came to the low position to prepare to hit Iguodala with the back of the ball, but Iguodala directly saw through Ye Xuan's plan, and a defense around the front directly made Ye Xuan unable to even receive the ball, no way, Ye Xuan could only start running again. Then he went to the top of the arc and received Speight's pass, and directly pulled it up as a three-point shot, the Warriors' defense was already in place, but they could still only watch Ye Xuan shoot the ball quickly.

Then came the offensive round of the Warriors, this time the Warriors firmly chose to forcibly hit the Lakers' interior, after all, the Lakers' internal line is not very strong now, so Durant once again handed the ball to Green, who asked for the ball inside, and asked him to eat Randle, but Randle also played very tough, and directly collided with Green, when the two were deadlocked, Ye Xuan quietly touched it again, but Green would not give Ye Xuan a chance to steal this time, and immediately jumped up and passed the ball out, Ye Xuan, who was in charge of defense, Curry received the ball and hit a three-point shot directly, and at this time, he suddenly saw the referee stop the game, it turned out that he hit Randle's elbow when he jumped up and passed the ball just now, and his nose was bleeding, and the referee could only stop the game and let him go off the court to deal with it.
