Chapter 558: West Decisive West

After watching the sixth game between the Pelicans and the Warriors, the Lakers will return directly to Los Angeles, after all, they still need to make some preparations for the next game, the two tie-breakers in the East and West started as usual, and the one in the East can be said to be extremely fierce. The whole game is a decisive moment, it can be said that there is no urine point in the whole process, the game has been very anxious from the beginning, and at the last moment, the role of the superstar is reflected, come out, Lao Zhan hit the ball with two consecutive backward jumpers, and directly opened the difference to 4 points, and these 4 points have also become a moat to block the progress of the Pacers, after which the Pacers had to start foul tactics because they were four points behind, and at the critical moment, Irving was unrelenting, and hit all four free throws, helping the Cavaliers win the game steadily, so far, Ye Xuan's old club, the Pacers, can only leave the stage of the playoffs, and the Eastern Conference Finals will be played between the Cavaliers and the Celtics.

In the last game, the Pelicans led the whole game, and there were almost no waves, and today's game has become the Warriors' full-court suppression, from the shooting percentage to the number of shots, from defensive efficiency to rebounds, the Warriors are in the lead with almost all statistics, and the Pelicans were able to grab 6 more rebounds per game than the Warriors in the first six games, and the rebounds of the two teams in this game were almost equal. Cousins, who was on the inside, also failed to find his form throughout the game because of foul problems, and finally left the court with six fouls after only 32 minutes.

Although the Lakers did not go to the Warriors' home court to watch the game, they still watched the whole game in the tactical analysis room, and after the third quarter of the game, Wharton Jr. silently tore off the article about the Pelicans in his little notebook, because this situation is basically impossible for the Warriors to give the opponent a chance to turn the tables, just like the current Lakers, once they have an advantage, they will slowly use this advantage to consume the opponent to death.

So after the end of the seven-game between the Warriors and the Pelicans, the battle of the Western Conference has also appeared, as everyone expected, it is the Lakers vs. the Warriors, but the Warriors consumed too much physical strength in the second round, so at present, the Lakers still seem to have a certain advantage.

Time has come to May 14th, the first playoff game between the Lakers and the Warriors is about to start, the Lakers have actually rested for a week on their home court, so at this time, the Lakers should occupy the peak in terms of state and physical fitness, the game started quickly, after several games of research, the Lakers have specially formulated some tactics for Green and Curry, the Warriors' current lineup is actually the most critical is Green, if Green is sent off, The Warriors' combat effectiveness will drop a notch in an instant.

At the beginning of the game, Gasol and the scum Pachulia jumped the ball, in fact, until now, the Lakers generals are still very hateful to the scum, after all, his immoral action almost injured Ye Xuan, in fact, they don't know that Ye Xuan was already injured that time, but he quickly repaired it. Gasol did not have an advantage in the jump ball, but the dregs Pachuria's bounce appeared to be worse, Gasol successfully gave the racket to Wade, Wade handed the ball to Ye Xuan, and then began to run.

Ye Xuan did not prepare to play directly in the face of Green's defense, but passed the ball to Wade, and asked Wade to single Curry, Wade borrowed Ye Xuan's cover to break through inward after receiving the ball, and the Warriors habitually changed the defense directly, but Wade turned around and sent the ball back to Ye Xuan. Curry looked embarrassed, because he suddenly found that Ye Xuan was against him again, the tactics were well formulated before the game, but as soon as they arrived at the game, they found that simply avoiding Ye Xuan and Curry was basically ineffective, Ye Xuan didn't need to call for cover or anything to play Curry with the ball, and directly used his personal physical advantage to eat, Curry could only barely follow the defense and make some interference, and Ye Xuan was also very witty, and did not directly enter the inside line, because this would face the opponent's bag, So he made a quick stop directly near the free throw line, and Curry behind him thought he was going to jump shot, and felt the jump block, but Ye Xuan was waiting for this, his hand hung on Curry, and then threw the ball, not only deceived the foul, but also smashed the ball on the rebound and rebounded in.

Walking to the free throw line, Ye Xuan steadily hit the free throw, and the Lakers took a three-point lead. This start is still very good, after all, it caused a foul in the opponent's core, if there is a chance, a few more strong Curry, and Curry should be able to play half of the opportunities in this game.

Looking back, Curry slowly controlled the ball to the front court, and then hurriedly passed the ball to Green before Ye Xuan was forced up, Green held the ball high and began to direct the team's offense, at the beginning, the Lakers also felt that the opponent's offense might be launched from Durant, but they didn't expect the opponent to take the lead in preparing to play Green, in the face of Randle's defense, Green decisively chose to play the opponent alone, Randle's playoff experience is still not rich enough, and he didn't pay too much attention to the opponent's position and actions when facing Green, As a result, Green passed by two steps, although Gasol made up for the past, but he missed the scum behind him-Pachuria, and Green sent it with a low hand, and the scum was dunked.

This kind of ball should be defensible for the Lakers, but because Randle took the lead in losing position, it will be easily scored by the opponent, looking back, the Lakers once again want Ye Xuan to find Curry, but this time the Warriors learned smart, Curry stared at Wade, and really wanted to change the defense, so he quickly wrapped up after the change of defense, forcing the Lakers to transfer the ball again, and not giving Ye Xuan the opportunity to play Curry single-on-one again, but Ye Xuan's main goal in this game is not Curry's point, but Green's point, The current Green is actually very dangerous, as long as he gets a technical foul in any game, it will mean that he will miss the next game, and Ye Xuan is ready to take advantage of this point, of course, if possible, Durant, who has three technical fouls left and will also accumulate a suspension, can also take advantage of it.

Therefore, Ye Xuan needs to play very aggressively in this game, and at the same time, he must also provoke the opponent at the right time, of course, big moves must not be done, after all, Ye Xuan himself does not want to be sent off the field because of large actions and then added a ban or something. So when attacking again, Ye Xuan began to use provocative actions to deal with Green, fortunately, although Green was a little impulsive, he was not stupid, he naturally knew that he was the opponent's key care, so he was cautious in dealing with the provocations on the court, especially in the face of the Pelicans, in the first game with the Pelicans, he had already received a technical foul that made him call the police, but in the next six games, he controlled it well and did not be provoked and clashed with the opponent.

Ye Xuan saw that Green was indifferent, and he was not impatient, after a large pull, Ye Xuan quickly retreated and bowed to the Buddha and then changed direction to break through, and instantly broke through Green's defense, came to the free throw line and pulled up again to shoot, now when playing alone, almost no one can defend Ye Xuan alone, it can only be said that the intensity of your defense is higher, then Ye Xuan will have to fight harder, besides, although Green is a defensive warrior, and he does have an advantage in height or something, and he is not particularly disadvantaged in terms of speed, But his flexibility still can't be compared with Ye Xuan, so it is naturally a little difficult to defend.

scored five points in the opening two offenses, and the audience at the scene naturally began to cheer for Ye Xuan, and the offense on the Warriors' side was still initiated by Green, who still held the ball at the top of the arc and singled Randle, this time Randle did not lose his position again, but he still couldn't prevent the ball, because Green not only stopped Solomon Hill, who was chasing Durant, while making a mistake with Durant, but also sent the ball to Durant's hands. Durant, who got rid of the defenders, naturally hit the ball with ease.

And the Lakers can only stare dryly, after all, the four players on the opponent's court are all All-Star level, and three of them have strong organizational skills and ball-holding singles, although Klay Thompson's independent offense is a little worse, but this is only relative, after all, he was positioned as a pitcher at the beginning, and Thompson's defense is really good, although he can't prevent Ye Xuan, but the efficiency when defending Wade is good. As for Curry, he is basically a defensive colander, and when he plays other teams, he can still find face on offense, but when facing the Lakers, he also wants to cry without tears in the face of Ye Xuan's defense on the offensive end.

The Lakers served from the bottom line, Ye Xuan held the ball again and singled, Ye Xuan needed to burst out of his strongest state in this game and give the opponent a dismount, but this time the Warriors' defense did a good job, and Ye Xuan did not get a very comfortable shooting position, and due to the interference of Thompson's bag on the side, Ye Xuan's shooting was still a little outrageous.

But it was this outrageously biased ball, but it turned into a pass in disguise, and the basketball fell straight down on the edge of the rebound, without even touching the frame. But at this time, Solomon Hill appeared in that place unknowingly, grabbed the basketball and directly came to a violent dunk, and scored two points, while the audience at the scene cheered again, Ye Xuan also hid his embarrassment very well, and high-fived Solomon Hill.

Solomon Hill, who did not play well in the last game with the Spurs, has been playing very steadily in the subsequent games, and Ye Xuan is also dumbfounded by the hard work in training, this kind of player who is willing to face his shortcomings and work hard to correct them, no matter which team he goes to, will be very popular.

The Lakers' first three offenses were all scored, and the Warriors' third offense was a little bit less interesting, it was still Green who singled Randle with the ball, this time Randle learned smart, and did not defend the opponent closely, but put half a step, so that when Green broke through, he could have time to react, and if the opponent pulled up and shot, although he could not block, but he could also interfere with it, Green's three points were also ineffective, and in this game, obviously his three points were not too bright, After shooting the iron, you can only watch Durant and the scum grab the board on the inside, and this rebound ball finally fell into Ye Xuan's hands, with the help of Gasol, Ye Xuan successfully grabbed the rebound, and then began to move forward quickly, this kind of Ye Xuan grabbed the rebound and then quickly lowered the ball is a regular tactic of Ye Xuan when he was in the Pacers, and the Warriors obviously did not expect Ye Xuan's advance speed to be so fast, although several people tried their best to chase back, but on the one hand, they retreated and pushed forward, naturally Ye Xuan's side was faster, Fortunately, Durant's height and arm span are good, and when Ye Xuan advanced to the front court to prepare to shoot, he still successfully interfered, but after Ye Xuan was disturbed in the air, he decisively put the ball in his arms, and then sent it to the side, and Wade, who was following next to him, grabbed the basketball and hit the ball in a European step, helping the team score two points again.

As soon as the Warriors saw that the team was a little behind, they immediately called a timeout, replaced the scum Pachuria, and replaced it with Iguodala, as the MVP of the finals they won the championship, Iguodala won the MVP by virtue of the restrictions on pickled peppers in the finals, so the responsibility of defending Ye Xuan naturally fell on his head, plus he was also the third position in this lineup, and Green had already gone to the fifth position, so it was naturally impossible to drag the fifth position out to defend the opponent's number one position.

After the pause, the Warriors served in the backcourt, and I don't know if it was because of the reason that they had just finished the tie-break, the Warriors didn't seem to feel particularly good today, and after two conductions, the ball came to Klay Thompson's hands, and he decisively pulled it up with a three-point shot, but the crosshairs were ridiculously off, and the three-point shot from the bottom corner came directly to a rainbow bridge, and the three were not touched.

The rebound was taken by Wade who was nearby, and immediately began to launch a counterattack again, Ye Xuan's running position this time was also very witty, and he did not rush to the opponent's basket, but ran towards the bottom corner, so the player who returned to the defense was not by his side when he fell in position for the first time, Wade's pass naturally would not be crooked, and after the ball was sent to Ye Xuan's hands steadily, Wade raised his hands very arrogantly and began to turn around to celebrate, and Ye Xuan did not live up to Wade, and directly pulled up a three-point shot, and Wade's early turn to celebrate, It also became a classic lens for a period of time afterward.
