Wang Shuang sweated a little on the court.
During the timeout, Scott praised Wang Shuang.
"Wang, good job, great passing, keep it up."
Byron Scott is expressionless most of the time.
It is not easy for him to boast about people.
Wang Shuang took a sip of water and stood aside to listen to Scott's tactics.
Originally, everyone thought that there was no hope for this game.
But after fighting, the difference in score was within 10 points.
It seems that you can still spell it.
Of course, Scott just meant it.
With a 9-31 record, a playoff game is only theoretically possible.
The Lakers' mission this season is not to win.
Instead, he accompanied Kobe Bryant through his last season.
The morale of the young players is not very high.
Scott held the tactical board for a long time, and he didn't know how much they listened.
The timeout ends and the game resumes.
Scott replaced Hibbert with Clarkson.
The Lakers played a small lineup that fought for their lives.

This ball is the last live game of the day.
All other games are over.
Originally, the fans were a little excited.
The first in the league is the last one, and there is no suspense.

"I thought it was tied, but it turned out that there was still 9 points left, and there was no play."
"Curry and Thompson are both on the line, a couple of three-pointers and a few one-pointers, and they take away the game."

Because Curry, Thompson and others have been too explosive this season.
Curry has shot 8-of-16 from three-point range so far this game.
Fifty percent of the horror hits.
He threw the three-pointer to mid-range effect.
Warriors offensive round.
Curry controls the ball and attacks by himself, and after a block, he finds an opportunity and shoots directly!
The shot is not high, but the shot is extremely fast and very smooth.
Wang Shuang stood under the basket and prayed in his heart: "Don't enter, don't enter, don't enter!" ”
This kind of ball, there is no other good way to defend it except to pray that he doesn't score.
Fortunately, Curry sat a little bit off the court for a bit of a while.
It felt cooler and the ball didn't hit.
Wang Shuang's judgment of the rebound landing point is quite accurate.
He stuck in position, jumped up and tapped lightly with his hand.
Gave the ball to Kobe Bryant and got the rebound.
The Lakers push the chance to fight back.
Seeing Kobe Bryant get the ball, Wang Shuang was a little panicked.
8 points, you can't score any more goals.
If you score more than 10 points and then score more than 10 points, the hidden mission will fail.
Fortunately, Kobe Bryant's desire to attack was not strong tonight.
He's always creating chances for his teammates.

And Randall has always been blue.
Illustrates Clarkson's offensive feel is better than Randle's.
The same in-cut pass.
Kobe Bryant's pass to Randle just now, didn't go in.
This time it was passed back to Clarkson and a foul free throw.
Hit both!
At 94:101, the margin narrowed to 7 points.
There were three minutes left until the end of the game.
The game suddenly had a bit of suspense.
The warrior got a little serious.
Curry tore apart the Lakers' defense with pick-and-rolls on the outside.

The referee blows the whistle, Wang Shuang's foul!
Wang Shuang immediately raised his hand to signal that he had committed a foul.
But the Green who can be pulled down is a grumpy.
He jumped up from the ground and yelled at Wang Shuang: "You idiot! This is Oracle! You play like this! I'm going to kick your balls! ”
When Wang Shuang heard Green say this, he felt that the opportunity had come.
He took the initiative to lean in and said, "Oh, why, because I have balls and you don't have them?" ”
This irritated Green.
He pushed Wang Shuang with his hands.
Wang Shuang immediately fell to the ground.
Players from both sides immediately stepped forward and there was a little skirmish.

Bryant shrugged his shoulders and gave the ball to Wang Shuang.
"It's okay for you to punish the foul you caused. Also, just did a good job. ”
Kobe Bryant smiled evilly at Wang Shuang, very satisfied with Wang Shuang's methods.
And Wang Shuang thought to himself, it's not that I want to score, it's that I don't want you to score!
Fortunately, Kobe Bryant's desire to score in this game is really not strong.
If it weren't for the close score, Bryant would have been replaced by Scott by now.
Wang Shuang's free throws hit steadily.
At 95:102, Curry's beautiful pass just now was offset.
The Lakers also have the ball.
Wang Shuang spent a few minutes helping the Lakers close the score.
In addition to relying on props, but also on his brain.
