Chapter 670: Enraged Billups
He first forced a shot against Mike Dermott's defense when the 24 seconds were approaching. Shoot a three-point shot. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
And it seems that it was because of this three-point shot that his self-confidence was greatly increased, and then he hit a buzzer-beating three-pointer in front of Stephenson.
Then, after Iguodala made a steal, he shook Batum on a fast break and hit another three-pointer.
In just one minute, Curry hit three three-pointers in a row, and the score was close at once.
Billups reached out and called a timeout.
Curry was cheered by his teammates when he came off the court, and his explosive performance was obviously a huge morale boost for the team.
After a timeout, the Lakers' offense, Stephenson and Mozgov made a block in the high post, cut to the basket after dismantling, attracted the inside bag, and then distributed the ball to Halix, who was in the low post on the right wing, and Halix started to shoot a two-point shot in the bottom corner.
"Bang!"
Halix hit a mid-range shot, but Stephenson was quick and hit a layup after jumping up to add a score for the home team.
Looking back, the Warriors were running from the outside, Curry was about to shoot another three-pointer, and the Lakers' defense was pinned down at once, and he saw the opportunity and gave a beautiful shot to Iguodala, who cut near the three-point line, who received the ball and scored directly to the basket.
That's not all, waiting for Stephenson's breakthrough on this side, Curry went to the frontcourt, changed direction one meter away from the three-point line to get rid of Grant, and threw the ball out directly.
"Huh!"
Three points back!
Curry has hit 4 three-pointers in a single quarter!
When he was the only core on the court, he seemed to have regained the feeling of playing crazy before.
Although the player's ability is certain, the feel will fluctuate, and once the feel is up, it is not easy to limit.
After Curry hit this three-pointer, Billups replaced Don Shuai on the court, but Curry still felt the same, and used his threat on the offensive end to repeatedly pass good balls to help the Warriors close the point difference a little bit, and by the end of the second quarter, they had tied the score.
The two teams played half and tied at 60, and no one took advantage of it.
Although the draw is a draw, such a result is obviously not what the Lakers want, and when it comes to squad depth, they don't take advantage of it at all.
There was a hiccup at halftime when Warriors owner Joe Lacob went to the visiting locker room to cheer on the Warriors.
Lacob is a basketball fanatic, after Thompson hit 11 three-pointers in a single game in last year's playoffs, the owner once "bowed" to greet him in the players' tunnel, a move that also won him great popularity, this time he was absent because of business affairs, but he didn't expect to run halfway, I believe it will be a huge morale boost for the Warriors.
Coming back in the second half, the Warriors switched back to the regular lineup, playing with a red morale, Curry's hand was still the same, and even the hand feeling with Durant and Thompson was also brought up, and the Lakers relied on Tang Shuai and Gasol to support it, but they couldn't stop the point from being pulled away a little bit.
By the time the game reached about 4 minutes left in the third quarter, the Warriors were leading the Lakers by 11 points, 87-76.
From leading by 11 points to trailing by 11 points, the Lakers have lost by 22 points from the end of the first quarter to the present, not because they didn't play well, but because the Warriors really couldn't stop it after opening it.
The fans at the scene couldn't help but be restless, perhaps no one expected that the situation would suddenly take a turn for the worse, and once the Lakers lost this game, they would be eliminated.
"I think if Mitch runs again next year, the team's competitiveness will definitely go to a higher level." Johnson saw the situation in front of him, turned his head to Kobe Bryant and said that although he also wanted the Lakers to win, he could see the situation on the court at a glance after playing for more than ten years.
"Well, Don's ability to lead the team is quite good, this is only his first year with the Lakers, if Mitch doesn't do anything in the summer, I will definitely rush to his house to make trouble." Bryant said with a smile.
"Perhaps, you can just make a comeback?" Johnson joked.
Bryant burst out laughing.
"Taylor, you said that this kid Don is really pitiful." In the front row of the stands, "big cousin" Lawrence looked at the situation on the field and turned his head to Swift beside him.
Swift nodded, bit his mouth and looked at the field, looking at Tang Shuai, who was out of breath but still insisting, as if he was about to bite his lips.
The Warriors made lineup adjustments at this time, and Curry and Durant were on fire in this quarter, and the physical exertion was considerable.
The Lakers also made personnel adjustments, and veterans such as Gasol and Deng were also replaced.
Billups was also going to replace Tang Shuai for a break, but when he was about to do so, Tang Shuai took the initiative to run over and signal that he could still hold on, and he finally gave up the idea.
In the Lakers' offensive round, Tang Shuai advanced to the front court with the ball, and he looked up at the score on the court.
77 to 90, a 13-point disadvantage, is huge.
When it came to the front, he gasped.
“Let’s.go! lakers! ”
The loud shouts and cheers of the fans at the scene were heard.
He greeted Mozgov on the inside, who ran out to make a pick-and-roll for him, and he took a breath and took a step straight inside.
The Warriors' interior defense came out immediately, and he passed through the bag with a corssover, got up to the basket, attracted the interior defense, and threw the ball directly to the right.
Halix slapped the ball and after receiving the ball was a pull-up score.
Although his physical fitness is relatively average, fortunately, his projection ability is still worth relying on.
Turning back to the Warriors' offense, Green held the ball at the top of the arc and distributed it to Thompson, who shook Mike Dermott and opened his hand to shoot a three-pointer.
"Bang!"
The ball was a little off the angle and eventually popped out of the frame.
The rebound was grabbed by Mozgov.
The Lakers counterattacked, Tang Shuai arrived in the frontcourt, and the whole person was sweating like rain.
At this time, he turned his head to look at Curry and Durant who were chatting off the court, and there was some envy in his heart.
Curry and Durant were on fire in the third quarter, and he didn't fall at all, but now that people are resting off the court, he is still leading the offense on the court, which is somewhat helpless.
However, this thought only flashed through his mind, and he gave the ball to Stephenson, held his breath, and began to accelerate around the three-point line.
Iguodala was in hot pursuit of him, but he quickly got rid of his opponent with Mozgov's block, and then accelerated to the right-wing three-point line, where Stephenson's pass was imminent.
After receiving the ball, he didn't stop and shot directly.
"Huh!"
Basketball is in the pocket with precision.
The difference was chased to 8 points.
Tang Shuai almost didn't catch it in one breath after landing, and stood in place for 3 seconds before recovering his strength.
Running like this in the case of huge physical exertion is really not something that ordinary people can afford.
But listening to the excited roars of the fans at the scene, he gritted his teeth, it was all worth it.
The Warriors' offense, Green handed the ball directly to Livingston in the low post on the right wing.
Although Livingston is a year older than last year, his kung fu in the low post has not become weaker at all, and he is not soft at all by hitting Mike Dermott, and after shaking from side to side, a backward shot hits steadily.
Billups couldn't help but furrow sharply on the sidelines.
Looking back, Tang Shuai held the ball and beckoned Mozgov to block and dismantle, a feint that forced Iguodala to take a step back, and directly made a three-point shot.
"Huh!"
Three points again!
With Peter Pan packing it up, it's obviously easier for him to judge the chance of a shot than before.
On the offense of the Warriors, Green held the ball at the top of the arc, faked a pass, and then accelerated directly to the basket, and used his feet to shake off Mozgov and score a layup.
Billups grimaced on the sidelines.
With the last 18 seconds left in the third quarter, Tang Shuai held the ball to the frontcourt, pressed the time to 10 seconds, beckoned Halix to block and dismantle, and after dismantling the ball, a pass feint caused Green to move to the side, he accelerated to the basket, put the ball into the basket against Vallejo, and caused the latter's beating foul.
"Don ~ Tang ~ Tang ~ Handsome!!"
The DJ at the scene excitedly shouted Tang Shuai's name.
Tang Shuai walked to the free throw line with a snow-white face, holding his knees with his hands and panting, and only when the referee called him did he take a deep breath.
Swift on the sidelines had a worried look on his face and couldn't help but turn his head to look at the Lakers' bench.
Where is this playing, the difference is desperate!
Tang Shuai took two deep breaths in a row to recover his physical fitness, and when the referee reminded him of the free throw time, he glanced at the basket and threw it.
"Huh!"
Penalty hit.
With little time left in the third quarter, Iguodala threw a long-range three-pointer in the second half to hit the iron.
Relying on Tang Shuai's performance of 9 points and 1 assist in the last moment, the Lakers chased the score to 88-94.
The Lakers received warm applause from the audience, but as soon as they walked to the bench, Billups, who was blue in face, roared like an angry lion.
"Look at you, look at yourselves, look at Don, can't you score, can't you defend?! What the hell did you guys do on the field? What the hell can you do on the field?! ”
Billups' sudden outburst scared the fans in the front row, and even Nicholson looked confused.
Billups has always given the public the impression of being gentle and elegant, and judging by the irascible appearance in front of him, it is this contrast that makes people feel shocked like never before.
In fact, not to mention the fans, even the substitutes who came off the field were shocked.
But when they digested Billups's words, they all bowed their heads in shame.
Originally, in the last paragraph, Tang Shuai felt that he was almost trying his best to score, but others not only couldn't help on the offensive end, but also scored continuously on the defensive end.
And Tang Shuai's face that couldn't see the slightest bit of blood may be the reason why Billups went violent.
"If you want me to look up to you, you can prove it to me, prove that you can still play." Billups glanced coldly at the others and said unceremoniously. (To be continued.) )
