Chapter 576: The Battle of Tianwang Mountain (3)
Big McGee completely stole the limelight from all the players on the court in these two rounds, whether it was teasing to serve on the sideline, or the subsequent inward aerial relay, it was very eye-catching. However, there is probably something wrong with Big McGee's brain circuit, this is obviously the home court of the Lakers, but he actually made an Iverson-style listening action, and the scene was booed.
The Lakers served in the backcourt, after Ye Xuan controlled the ball and came to the front court, he also decisively called Hibbert to help block and dismantle, after the block, the Warriors directly changed the defense, Ye Xuan broke through a few steps inward, and faced McGee's supplementary defense again, but this time Ye Xuan did not directly strengthen it, but shook a shot, McGee was also stunned and jumped up directly to block, but not only was he not able to block successfully, but also paid a foul, Ye Xuan successfully hit the ball and deceived 2+1.
Walking on the free throw line, the audience at the scene immediately began to cheer, Ye Xuan's free throw can be said to be the most accurate one in history, and sure enough, Ye Xuan hit the free throw again to stabilize the point difference. The Warriors players were also a little anxious at this time, first Durant tried a dry three-point shot on the outside, but he didn't feel good and popped up directly. Later, although the Lakers also played iron, the Warriors' fast-break counterattack still chose to chase down the three-point, and the result was iron again.
After the rebound was caught by Ye Xuan, who was back to defense, Ye Xuan also launched a counterattack in an instant, quickly controlled the ball and rushed to the front court, facing Durant's defense Ye Xuan was not false at all, and directly used a butterfly step to shake off some of his body, and then it was a quick inward cut, and after coming to the inside, the elementary school student made up for it, but his body obviously wanted to prevent Ye Xuan from only being able to bet on an offensive foul, but Ye Xuan was not a fool, seeing Curry standing there with a look of death, he knew that he was going to cheat the foul, So Ye Xuan also came to him directly when he came to a stop-and-back jumper, but Curry still fell, and the referee naturally saw it clearly and motioned Curry to get up by himself.
After Curry got up, he also scratched his head in embarrassment, and the audience at the scene also booed Curry warmly. However, Curry is also one of the few players in the Warriors who has no enemies, so the audience at the scene stopped after a little boo, after all, he has a baby face, and everyone is not good at bullying elementary school students, right?
The Warriors served in the backcourt, Curry controlled the ball and passed the ball to Durant after coming to the frontcourt, and the schoolbag Du finally did not continue to relent, shaking off Solomon-Hill's defense with continuous cross-steps at the top of the arc, and then hitting the long-range two-point shot steadily.
After that, the Lakers' offense finally broke down, Ye Xuan controlled the ball and came to the frontcourt, first using Hibbert's block to continue to play inside, but after breaking through, the Warriors immediately formed a bag by McGee and Durant, Ye Xuan didn't find a teammate to answer for a while, and was finally completed by the opponent, and then McGee came up to snatch the basketball with Ye Xuan, and finally sentenced the scrum, this is simply a scrum with no chance of winning, although Ye Xuan won the dunk king, But that was obtained with the help of various props and entertainment systems, so this time he jumped the ball with a real slam dunk contestant, and Ye Xuan really had no chance of winning.
But just when he was about to jump the ball, Ye Xuan began to break it again, when the referee was about to throw the ball, Ye Xuan actually made a feint, and put his toes up, only to see McGee on the opposite side rising from the ground, and the referee could only take the ball back again, and then let McGee calm down. McGee looked at Ye Xuan's smile at this time, and immediately knew that he had been tricked again, and secretly decided to pay attention to it at the moment, and he couldn't be teased by his opponent anymore.
As a result, the second time, Ye Xuan made a feint again, McGee really didn't move again, but when the referee threw the ball up, he didn't know what McGee was thinking, and after seeing Ye Xuan's foot, he still stood in place and didn't jump, but Ye Xuan grabbed the opportunity, jumped up and gave the racket to Solomon Hill, who was standing on the outside.
Hill was about to break through after receiving the ball, but unfortunately Durant's defense still followed very tightly and did not give Solomon Hill a chance to sneak attack, but Curry, who was thinking about the fast break just now, was embarrassed, and his defensive Nick Young directly got a big gap, and Solomon Hill immediately sent the ball to Nick Young, Yang Shaoxia received the ball and faced Klay Thompson's supplementary defense, and directly handed the ball to Ye Xuan, and at this time, it was Curry who had just run back who was responsible for defending Ye Xuan. Ye Xuan was naturally not polite, and ate Curry twice and then threw the ball into the ball.
At this time, maybe Kerr had had enough of Big McKee's clumsy performance, so he directly handed over a timeout to replace him and replace him with Green, at this time Green is actually a bit risky to play, after all, he has already had three fouls, if he is whistled for a foul again in the last minute or so of the second quarter, then the Warriors will be particularly passive in the third quarter.
However, Cole was indeed bold, and he actually replaced Green at this time, Ye Xuan's eyes lit up, and he immediately gave Nick Yang a look, Yang Shaoxia also understood in seconds, when Ye Xuan led Curry who controlled the ball, Yang Shaoxia hurriedly said to the remaining three teammates, "Block and dismantle!" Change the guard! Make a foul! I don't know if the rest of the people understood, but after all, it was still the opponent's offensive round, so Nick Young immediately returned to his defensive position.
Curry with the help of Green, who had just been replaced, broke through a step to the inside line and quickly passed back to the high post Green, Green picked up the ball and pulled it up as a three-point shot, and I don't know if it was because of the emotions that had been brewing off the court for a long time, so Green hit the ball steadily, and hit a three-point shot as soon as he came up, and it can be seen that Kerr's substitution is right.
But looking back, Green was immediately targeted. After Hibbert came up to help Ye Xuan make a block, he quickly pulled away, and after the Warriors changed defenses, it immediately became Ye Xuan singled out Green, while Hibbert was in a key position on the inside ready to catch the ball and beat Iguodala at any time. The Warriors thought that the Lakers were preparing to play the inside line in a misplaced position, but they didn't expect that the Lakers were to make Green foul again, so Ye Xuan kept making fake moves in front of Green, doing a sudden Buddha worship action, shaking Green away, and then broke through a step inside, and immediately stopped to shoot, although Green was very restrained from his actions, but he was still shaken up by this one, after all, it was impossible to give up defense directly because he had a few fouls. As a result, Ye Xuan also leaned towards Green, who pounced on him, and deceived the foul again.
The crowd cheered, and Green picked up his fourth foul of the game with the final minute of the second quarter remaining, which was nothing short of bad news for the Warriors. Ye Xuan walked to the free throw line and steadily hit both free throws, which not only expanded the difference to 7 points, but also made the Warriors a little confused.
And the Warriors continued to attack, this time it was Durant who stood up and hit a three-point chase after receiving the ball, although there were some suspicions of walking in this ball, but in the end the Lakers still didn't go to the referee to make trouble, they don't want to give the Warriors a chance to clear their minds now, and they immediately want to use the block and dismantle to change positions, and then beat Green this point, but the Warriors are also smart, you block and dismantle I immediately came from the side to make up for the defense, instead of changing the defense, But they forgot that Hibbert also had the ability to hold the ball alone on the inside before, and after the block was dismantled, Hibbert quickly asked for the ball on the inside, and Ye Xuan saw that it was Green who defended Hibbert, so he immediately passed the ball over, and then immediately pulled the defender away.
Hibbert held the ball and singled Green, Green was a little afraid to cut the ball at this time, so he could only be carried in step by step by Hibbert, and then watched the opponent turn over and hook the ball into the ball. And after Hibbert hit this ball, he also enjoyed the cheers of the fans at the scene, which is very important to him, it was because of personality reasons, coupled with lack of self-confidence, so he gradually declined, and now he has regained his confidence in the Pacers, which is also good news for the Lakers.
After that, the Warriors began to organize their last offense in the first half, after using Green's blocking and Klay Thompson's cross run, Curry got a chance to shoot at a 45-degree angle on the left side, but the Lakers' defense was very fast, Curry just received a pass Matt Barnes immediately made up for it, Curry could only return the ball to Durant, and after Durant received the ball, there was little offensive time left, and finally he could only force his hand, but the ball actually went in when Ye Xuan's eyes were sealed, This made the Lakers' mood not very beautiful in an instant, and they entered the third quarter with a 6-point difference, but now they have a 4-point lead.
At the end of the first half of the game, the Lakers relied on the excellent play of several offensive points in the first half of the second quarter and Ye Xuan's continuous scoring by relying on his personal ability, barely leading the opponent by 4 points, and this quarter of the game also fully demonstrated the role of the star, on the Lakers' side, Ye Xuan shot 5 of 7 and scored 14 points in a single quarter, and Wade and others also continued to use their personal ability to score points for the team after they played. That's why he was able to ensure his team's lead even though the opponent hit the fairy ball crazy in the last two minutes or so.
Time flew to the start of the third quarter, the score was temporarily 54:58, and the Lakers temporarily led the opponent by 4 points at home. Entering the second half with a 4-point advantage, the Lakers will seem relatively relaxed, on the other hand, on the Warriors' side, it is estimated that they were taught a hard lesson by Steve Kerr at halftime, so everyone's faces are not good-looking.
The second half of the game officially began, and the Lakers continued to play the starting lineup in the first half, and Hibbert still appeared on the court, because the Lakers also knew that Green would not let him play at the beginning of the third quarter when he had already committed four fouls, so the only person who could make up for the Warriors' interior defensive holes was the scum Pachuria, who would affect their counterattack efficiency. And the lineup on the Warriors' side is not as expected by the Lakers, and they directly sent scum Pachulia to play center, and the position of the big forward is not Durant, but David West, and the other three have not changed, they are still Durant, Curry and Thompson.
The Warriors served in the backcourt, and as soon as he came up, Curry continued the Warriors' super touch in the last moments, using the scumbag Pachuria's blocking and dismantling to directly step back and hit a difficult three-pointer, which instantly narrowed the difference to one point, and the Warriors' bench immediately cheered.
And the Lakers didn't make the opponent happy for too long, Ye Xuan immediately used the ball after the breakthrough to find Solomon Hill who was ambushed in the bottom corner, the opponent's movement speed wanted to pull out the defensive shooting players It was really difficult, plus the scumbag's defense also ran in the wrong direction, the result was naturally only able to watch Solomon Hill shoot the ball steadily, this opening was only 20 seconds, there were various three-pointers on both sides, and the atmosphere on the scene gradually became warmer.
In the next two rounds, the two teams are still fighting fast, but although fast can improve the rotation speed of the ball, it also improves the error rate, and both sides also have a mistake in each of these two rounds, Ye Xuan controlled the ball and came to the front court after losing the empty catch and was destroyed by the scum, and in retrospect, Klay Thompson actually made a dribbling error, and the ball was directly dribbled on his feet and smashed out of the sideline.
The two teams, which had been pitted against each other by two three-pointers in the second half, also became a little calmer after a series of mistakes. Ye Xuan once again controlled the ball and came to the frontcourt, this time he did not choose to continue to grab three points, but steadily called Hibbert to help block and dismantle, and then after the opponent changed defenses, he suddenly stepped back and returned to the three-point line, and the worship Buddha action deceived David West, who was supplementing the defense, and then started to break through again, and finally hit this shot at the free throw line.
The Warriors are still a little dizzy, on the one hand, because of the lack of Green, the usual high-level point, and on the other hand, because they were beaten by Ye Xuan on the defensive end, this round Durant received the ball at the top of the arc, but the pull-up jump shot after turning his back past Solomon Hill did not hit, but gave the Lakers a chance to counterattack quickly, and finally was scored two points again by the opponent's fast break, and the difference was stretched to 6 points again, Kerr was also forced to call the first timeout of the second half.
