Chapter 516: Upgrade with the World War II Warriors Again
After losing the game with the Thunder, the Lakers' record also slipped to the third place in the West, although the record is the same as the Warriors, but the Lakers are still behind in terms of winning and losing. And in the next two games, the Lakers will play directly against the Warriors, which is very critical for the Lakers.
Of course, if these two games are also very important for the Warriors, and the luxury battleship they formed is going for the championship, and now they can't even win the first place in the West, wouldn't it make everyone laugh? So in the next game, the Warriors are naturally trying to achieve a good result, on the one hand, in order to be able to shut up those who doubt, on the other hand, it is naturally to be able to gain an advantage from the psychological level, after all, in this current form, the Lakers will be a strong opponent in their playoffs, if they can kill the Lakers three times in the regular season, even if they lose in the last meeting, it will be a 3:1 lead, and there is definitely a certain psychological advantage in the playoffs.
The Warriors' side reflects the degree of attention, which is reflected through the team's closed training, and Ye Xuan's side is reflected through the pre-game preparation, after the Thunder team's game, Ye Xuan sat on the plane back to Los Angeles and began to brew a lottery to improve his combat effectiveness, although the lottery may not be able to improve his strength immediately, but it is better to cramm temporarily than to do nothing.
Although the season has only started a short time, and he has been banned for 6 games in the middle, his income is relatively low, and he only has a total of less than 200 days of survival time, but Ye Xuan is ready to use his reserves at this time. What Ye Xuan didn't expect was that this time he actually directly drew a skill that he was lacking.
"Ding. . . Bite.. Bite. Ding Ding Ding... Bite! Congratulations to the master for drawing the 'Tracy McCready's Dry Pull Jump Shot Talent' talent level S" Ye Xuan instantly turned over after drawing this skill, after all, this skill can help him get a good hit rate when he is facing the hand-to-hand defense, which is very critical for Ye Xuan, who has always used to open up space and then shoot as the main means of attack, at least in this way, when he is strictly guarded by the opponent, the hit rate will not be reduced too much.
In a blink of an eye, the next day, the Lakers will face the Warriors on their home court, this game is actually a challenge for the Lakers, after all, they are back-to-back games, although they are fighting at home, but the physical strength will still be affected, and this impact is also reflected in the first quarter of the game.
Soon after the game started, the physical strength of the Lakers began to have problems, Wade is a veteran after all, and a game still lets him play for more than 30 minutes, which is already a little unbearable, but yesterday's game was lost, and the physical consumption is still large, but today's opponent is still a team like the Warriors who rotate quickly, and the defensive pressure is great, and running naturally consumes more physical strength, so soon after the start of the first quarter of the game, the old Wade began to be a little unable to keep up with the rhythm, And Wharton Jr. was also very decisive, replacing Wade with Nick Young during the first TV pause. Ye Xuan also felt that this game might be a tough battle, so he directly took the opportunity to use the scope.
The Warriors were originally going to use this game to hit the opponent's self-confidence, so they went all out from the beginning, Durant's projection and Green's organization were very reliable, but Curry, who is the soul of the Warriors, was a little out of shape today, and he continued to shoot inaccurately on the offensive end, so in the first quarter of the game, the Lakers were not too wide of the opponent's point difference.
However, this game is destined to become Ye Xuan's show, in the second quarter of the game, Ye Xuan began to break out, after the second quarter of the game was replaced, Ye Xuan suddenly turned on his own singles mode, and singled Thompson for two consecutive rounds, Steve Kerr obviously had some headaches Ye Xuan's offense, so he simply let Durant, a small forward with tall and long arms, defend Ye Xuan, but what he didn't expect was that Ye Xuan's breakthrough skills were still kept playing singles. Although Durant is tall and has long arms, his defensive pace seems to be a little unable to keep up with Ye Xuan, and he scored two goals in a row, and the Lakers quietly rewrote the score to 38:34, leading by 4 points.
At this time, the Warriors had no choice but to let Green, who was originally responsible for defending Gasol, defend Ye Xuan, Green's defensive ability is indeed very good, a player who plays big forward is very good in terms of foot movement and reaction speed, but Ye Xuan drew a magic skill today, and after a little training for half a day, he has ' With the blessing of Nick Young's high-difficulty shooting talents, although Ye Xuan did not fully master Maddie's dry pulling skills, he was already able to enjoy the shooting effect brought by this talent skill, so in the face of Green's defense, Ye Xuan finally used this picturesque shooting action, the first time, the Warriors still felt that Ye Xuan was just taking advantage of Green's unpreparedness, so he sneaked up on it, but he didn't expect that Ye Xuan would hit a ball again in the same place in the next round.
The score gap between the two releases was also gradually opened by Ye Xuan in these rounds, and Ye Xuan unconsciously also created a record, because in his game today, he only had 4 shots in the first quarter, all of which were hit, and in the second quarter, he made 8 consecutive shots, and all of them were hit, and now he actually shot 12 of 12 and has scored 31 points, and the game in the second quarter is not over yet, it can be seen that as long as the opponent can bear this game, then the super score show has become inevitable.
And in fact, this game is the weaker stage of the Lakers, the first quarter of the game is halfway through the game old Wade is a little powerless, and in the middle of the second quarter, Gasol began to gradually lose up with the rhythm, everything can only rely on Ye Xuan alone, and Ye Xuan is indeed carrying this banner, as if returning to last season when he won the regular season MVP, not to mention all kinds of fancy singles, and the efficiency is much higher than at that time.
Of course, it is impossible not to shoot a few goals in a game, Ye Xuan hit 14 goals in a row and scored 36 points, and finally hit the iron on the 15th shot, but what he didn't expect was that Larry Nance Jr., who came off the bench, actually grabbed the rebound in the front court, and the Warriors were ready to quickly counterattack to play one, but Larry Nance Jr. grabbed the rebound and shook it lightly, and sent the ball directly to Ye Xuan, Ye Xuan pulled it up and shot it again, shooting the ball into the ball.
The Warriors are also losing and retreating, if it weren't for the fact that the team was barely able to use their All-Star level team combat power to score the ball on the offensive end, then it is estimated that the Warriors would have chosen to surrender directly after this quarter, and what finally saved them was the whistle at halftime, and Ye Xuan scored 31 points and only 1 assist in the second quarter of the game after only 10 minutes, and the Lakers also won the Warriors by 6 points with 38:32 in this quarter.
At halftime, Ye Xuan's statistics were as high as 42 points and 4 assists, almost all of the Lakers' goals were basically related to him, only in the few minutes when he was replaced and rested, the Lakers' goals were not directly or indirectly completed by him. The Lakers entered the third quarter of the game with a 9-point difference, so it was relatively relaxed at halftime, and because of Ye Xuan's super scoring data at this time, everyone was ridiculing Ye Xuan, saying that Ye Xuan was ready to brush another 82 points.
Different from the laughter and laughter on the Lakers' side, the Warriors' side was full of sadness, and they didn't expect that the opponent would be able to burst out with such powerful energy in the case of back-to-back battles, especially what they didn't expect was that Ye Xuan's hand would be so good today, which made the Warriors unexpected, of course, the main reason was that they themselves were not able to seize all the opportunities on the offensive end, so some empty three-point shots were missed, which led to the team obviously being in the situation of the advantage of the field. Ye Xuan single-handedly brought the game to the way it is now.
At halftime, Cole also learned from the pain, in the second half of the game, he still felt that he should simply let Ye Xuan attack, since the defense can't, then the best way is to replace defense with offense, thinking that his team has so many offensive points, he should not lose to Ye Xuan alone in offensive firepower. Besides, after Ye Xuan's back-to-back games and the madness of the first half, his physical strength will definitely not be particularly sufficient, his team's offensive firepower is more, and he can also consume Ye Xuan's energy on the offensive end.
This idea is indeed good, but they don't know that Ye Xuan's physical strength is not a problem at all, at halftime, Ye Xuan decisively used a bottle of large physical recovery elixir to restore his state, and there is also a bottle of small physical strength recovery elixir that can be used for backup. So in the third quarter of the game, the Warriors were a little bit of shooting themselves in the foot, it was originally Ye Xuan's main offense, but they also gave up their defense against Ye Xuan, and let Ye Xuan play Thompson in various singles, although Tang Shen's defensive ability is already relatively good in the position of scoring guard, but it has not yet been able to reach the level of defending Ye Xuan alone, and the result is naturally beaten into a sieve.
As for the offense on the Warriors' side, there is not much of a problem, except for Curry, Durant, Thompson and Green's offensive firepower is relatively good, plus the combat effectiveness of the benches is also very good, so in the third quarter of the game, although the Lakers scored 33 points in a single quarter (Ye Xuan slashed 29 points again), they still lost to the Warriors by 2 points in a single quarter, and the Warriors narrowed the difference to 7 points.
Just when they thought that at the beginning of the fourth quarter, they could take advantage of the opportunity of Ye Xuan being replaced to start chasing points frantically, and suddenly found that Ye Xuan was still on the court, you must know that Ye Xuan only had a 3-point break in the first half of this game, could Ye Xuan still play the whole game? But Ye Xuan's thoughts are different, his current physical strength is actually only 40% after the consumption of crazy attacks, but he still applies to continue to play, just to be able to completely open up the point difference during the absence of the opponent's main forces, and then even if his physical strength decreases after that, he can still contribute to the defensive end.
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Warriors sent Durant to lead David West, Livingston and others to play, but Durant was in the position of power forward, so he faced Randle, who was black and hard, and although there was no pressure on defense, it was not as easy to play as imagined when attacking, and Ye Xuan's side was still in a state of rage, and Ye Xuan, who had already increased his score to 71 points at the end of the first three quarters, At the beginning of the fourth quarter of the game, he told everyone with practical actions that his record of 82 points in a single game today was broken, first hitting a three-pointer with a pick-and-roll, and then hitting a throw after using his personal ability to get rid of Iguodala's defense.
The Warriors were also in a panic, and after Ye Xuan bombarded for a minute and a half, the difference had been stretched to 11 points, and then Steve Kerr woke up, and immediately called a timeout to replace all the main players who had only rested for less than two minutes, wanting to continue to entangle with Ye Xuan for a while. But what he didn't expect was that Ye Xuan didn't appear to be in a state of exhaustion, but became more and more energetic, in fact, Ye Xuan knew that he had used up the small physical recovery potion, so he became more energetic, but in this way, the Warriors' counteroffensive frenzy was also defeated under Ye Xuan's furious brush mode, although the Warriors woke up in the last five minutes and wanted to start to trap Ye Xuan, but it was too late.
At the end of the game, the Lakers defeated the visiting Warriors 120-114 on their home court, raising their ranking to the second place in the West, and there is also good news, the Pelicans overturned in the game with the Rockets, so they are only 1 win away from the Pelicans, as long as their team can perform better in the next few games, then it is not impossible to return to the first place in the West.
