Chapter 175: Lock Me

"Buckle me? Dream on you! Odom jumped up and slammed down on Margeti.

Margeti 1.96m, Odom 2.04m.

The height difference is here, of course Odom can't let the little man separate himself, how can he mix it up!

Margeti didn't jump, he just flapped his toes and pulled the ball back.

Odom was shocked and knew he had been fooled again.

Poof!

Odom's large physique crushed Margeti to the ground.

Honk!

The referee's whistle blows and Odom is fouled for the second time!

The Lakers players were dumbfounded.

With less than four minutes into the game, Gasol and Odom, the two Lakers offensive playmakers, were fouled in quick succession.

Today the Warriors' tactics worked!

The Zen master had no choice but to replace Odom as well.

Margeti stood at the free throw line and hit two free throws!

The Warriors not only took the lead, but also punished the two generals on the other side, which is simply a miraculous operation!

Warriors fans cheered, knowing how important these two men are to the Lakers.

Now the Lakers can only rely on Kobe Bryant to attack.

Kobe Bryant gritted his teeth, he was going to shoot early!

In the next round, Kobe Bryant received a pass from Meta near the sideline, struggled to get rid of Zhou Yang's defense, and threw a backward jumper, hey!

Two points in hand!

Although the ball was scored, Bryant's style of play was destined to be hard.

Because Gasol and Odom were both fouled, in the first quarter, the Lakers only relied on Kobe Bryant for offense, scoring only 26 points.

And the Warriors, led by the Splash Brothers, played a wave and scored 34 points in the first quarter.

The Warriors are finally playing with momentum at home.

Oracle Arena becomes a sea of joy.

The Warriors finally played their own tactics at home and suppressed the Lakers.

The second quarter of the game was similar, because Odom did not dare to play, so the Lakers bench lost its backbone.

And Zhou Yang worked hard again today, did not rest for a minute in the second quarter, and continued to appear.

Under the leadership of Zhou Yang, the Warriors bench also gained an advantage, further widening the point difference.

At the end of the first half, the score of the two teams was 64:52, and the Warriors led by 12 points.

If it weren't for the second half of the second quarter, Kobe Bryant frantically cut points, and the score difference would have gone to 20+.

At halftime, Barkley praised the Warriors' tactics.

"Old Nelson really has something, he obviously deliberately knocked out Gasol and Odom today."

"yes, Gasol moves slowly, Odom likes to jump, these are weaknesses, and he was caught."

"The playoffs are like this, no matter how strong your offense is, the team can't have weaknesses, and if you have weaknesses, you will be caught and beaten by the opponent, which is difficult to top."

"It depends on whether the Lakers adjust in the second half, and if the adjustment is not in place, the Warriors may really get one back."

……

The second half began, and Gasol was back on the pitch.

It should have been affected by the first half, and Gasol, who was carrying three fouls, played extremely cautiously.

Basketball is a fierce game, and many opportunities are fought for.

Often, taking a step back will allow the opponent to play a pressing attack.

Therefore, Gasol's hesitation put the Lakers' offense and defense at a disadvantage.

For example, Jackson rushed to Gasol, but Gasol didn't dare to face the hard steel at all, so he could only retreat and reach out to stop him.

In this case, Jackson has more options, he can attack on his own or pass to his teammates.

Swish!

At the moment when Gasol retreated, Jackson suddenly shot and threw to score!

You must know that Gasol is taller and has long arms, and he is stronger than Jackson, and it is because he chose to retreat that he gave Jackson a wide offensive line.

Everybody's NBA players, the best talent in the world, given space and scoring with ease.

The Zen master can't help it, Gasol has committed three fouls, so he really has to be cautious.

Since Gasol came to the Lakers, he has become the central axis of the offense, and his position is very important.

Who would have thought that in this game, he would become a burden to the Lakers.

In such a situation, the warriors became more and more courageous, and the score gap slowly widened again.

The third quarter played more than eight minutes, and the score came to 86:70, and the Warriors led by 16 points.

The atmosphere in the Oracle Arena reached a climax, and the roofs were about to be torn open by a loud noise.

Kobe Bryant really fought, and in the third quarter, the Lakers relied on Kobe's singles to barely maintain the offense.

But as his physical strength declined, Kobe's shooting percentage began to decline, and the point difference was widened.

Although the score was ahead, Zhou Yang was not careless.

He knew very well in his heart that the fourth quarter was the decisive battle, because Gasol had no worries about fouling in the fourth quarter.

Gasol is back to normal, and the Lakers are still strong.

The fourth quarter was 4:26, and the score was 97:87, and the Warriors led by 10 points.

Zhou Yang took a break in the fourth quarter and re-appeared.

The Lakers also switched to an all-main lineup.

The fans were excited, they knew that the best time slot of the game was coming!

Bryant also rested for a few minutes, full of energy.

Warriors offense.

Zhou Yang did not hold the ball, and after half the court, he stood near the sideline.

Curry slowly dribbled the ball and called in for cover, and Jackson was in front of Fisher again.

Curry vs. Gasol and wants to fight one.

But Gasol only had 3 fouls, and at this point, he wasn't scared at all, so he stuck very fiercely and tightly covered Curry under him.

Curry rushed left and right, and in desperation, the offensive time was almost up, so he had to reluctantly shoot, and the result was deflected.

Bynum grabbed the rebound, made a long pass, and passed it to Bryant.

Kobe Bryant quickly passed the half, and seeing that the Warriors players returned to defense quickly, he also came to chase three points!

This is Kobe Bryant, never soft at the critical moment, three-point goal!

The margin returned to 7 points.

In the next two rounds, the Warriors didn't score on offense, but allowed the Lakers to score five points in a row.

The Warriors' lead is just two points away.

The fans at Oracle Arena were stunned.

What's the situation?

In the blink of an eye, the 10-point advantage was gone!

Old Nelson yelled angrily on the sidelines.

But he also knew in his heart that this was the difference in strength between the two sides.

As long as Gasol is no longer troubled by foul trouble, the Lakers are still the formidable uncrowned champions!

Unless...... Unless Zhou Yang can break out......

Zhou Yang really broke out.

He knows that as a leading star, at the last moment, don't think about your teammates, don't think about responsibility, you have to carry it yourself!

Zhou Yang held the ball in the backcourt, and when the opponent didn't consider whether to wrap up, he dribbled through the half.

Kobe Bryant struggled to chase and defend, but Zhou Yang accelerated and came to the paint area, and then shook Kobe Bryant, and then made a difficult shot!

In the air, he dodged Meta's cover again.

Just as his body was about to hit the ground, he threw the ball out.
