Chapter 389: The Lakers' Last Line of Defense!

Oracle Arena, at this time the entire arena can already be described as crazy.

The crazy performance of the Lakers and Warriors in this game made the Warriors fans of the home team and the Lakers fans of the away team fall into an unbelievable mood.

"Even in the NBA, it's extremely rare to have such an unbelievably crazy game!"

Even the well-informed O'Neill was already shaking his head excitedly at this time.

"Who would have thought that the player who decided the game in the end of the Warriors was not Yi Jianlian, not Curry, but Klay Thompson!!"

"Who would have thought that the Lakers' final players who decided the game were not Garnett, not Wade, but Ibanaks, Antetokounmpo and Covington, McCarvey, these all-round wings who can fight and grab!!"

At the end of the third quarter, O'Neal was really excited!

In the second quarter of the game, Klay Thompson scored five three-pointers alone in the second half of the game, and after the timeout, with the support of the Warriors, he once again scored four three-pointers in a single quarter.

In the first quarter, Klay was 3-of-10 from the field, 1-of-3 from three-point range, and only hit 1 three-pointer with 7 points in a single quarter, in the second quarter, Klay was 5-of-9 from the field and 5-of-9 from three-point range, with 15 points in a single quarter, and in the third quarter, Klay shot 4-of-9 from three-point range, and scored 15 points in a single quarter.

After a bad quarter and a half, Klay, who was supported by the whole Warriors, actually scored 30 points in the next quarter and a half games!

"Klay Thompson's terrifying scoring explosiveness in the past period of time, I have only seen Kobe Bryant's body, and even, even Kobe Bryant's scoring explosiveness has not been so fast and terrifying!!"

"Constant running, constant catching, constant shooting, oh my God! Tonight's Klay Thompson is more like a basketball god than Kobe Bryant, and even more than Jordan! ”

Ever since Coach D entered the league, the world has known that O'Neal's commentary style is crazy when it comes to commenting on the Lakers.

However, after so many years, it is rare for O'Neill to be as crazy as he is now.

It can be seen how shocking Klay Thompson's performance was in this game.

"I've seen many, many good role players who shoot accurately, Steve Kerr, Robert Horry, but there's absolutely no way they're going to shoot so many threes in one game!"

"Hit 10 three-pointers in the third quarter, scored 37 points like crazy, and it didn't look like it was stopping at all!"

"How unbelievable, how incredible!"

"Klay Thompson tonight is God, Satan, the Jade Emperor, and Buddha, and he seems to be able to do everything!!"

"And such a player, with such a fast pace and crazy tide, is actually the lagging side on the field!"

"If the Warriors' Klay Thompson is the basketball god supported by the Warriors, then tonight's Lakers are everyone who is using all their energy to support the Los Angeles Lakers!"

"Keep scrambling, keep falling, keep getting up, keep fighting, continue to charge, they don't have the incredible offensive energy of the Warriors and Klay Thompson, but they have their love for the game and sacrifice for the team to the extreme!"

"In the second quarter of the game, the Warriors hit 5 more three-pointers than the Lakers, while the Lakers had 6 more shots, 3 more steals, and 1 more block than the Warriors!"

In the third quarter of the game, the Warriors hit three more three-pointers than the Lakers, but the Lakers had six more rebounds than the Warriors, who had an advantage on the inside! They all play five small, and the smaller Lakers are not only faster and more able to run in the third quarter, but also more able to grab and jump higher! ”

The first quarter was 20-24!

28-30 in the second quarter!

The third quarter was 28-30!

"That's what makes this game so crazy!"

"That's what makes this game so impressive!"

"In the face of the god-like Klay Thompson, the Lakers used their mortal body to make the Warriors still trail by 8 points, and there is not even any quarter, the Warriors are ahead!"

76 to 84!

Yes, at the end of the third quarter, the Lakers still led by 8 points!

In Garnett, he was completely sealed by Yi Jianlian.

Wounded in Barkley.

When Seth Curry was shaken by fellow shooter Klay Thompson's soul.

In Pierce, he couldn't keep up with the rhythm of attack and defense.

In the case that only Wade can be the main attacker.

The Lakers stubbornly withstood Klay Thompson's crazy impact as if a god had descended in every quarter!

In the second quarter, the game was able to withstand Klay Thompson and the Warriors, not only Wade's basketball god-level mid-range shot, but also Antetokounmpo's five points, Covington's five points, McCarvey and Ibanks' four points.

Their successive impacts and scrambles allowed Yi Jianlian and Dream Green to finish half-time, and the jerseys have been changed twice.

In the third quarter of the Lakers' 30 points, Wade only accounted for 9 points, and Wade, who was frantically consumed, was not even the one with the most shots from the Lakers.

The one with the most shots from the Lakers was McCarvey.

He took 10 shots in the first quarter, 4-of-10 in the quarter and 2-of-4 from the free-throw line, all of which were suicidal offenses in the same style as Wade.

Crazy burning knees, crazy impact under the basket, he does not have Wade's excellent finishing ability under the basket, but relying on his own efforts, he supported the Lakers' offensive system and compressed the Warriors' defense.

And his teammates around him lived up to his efforts.

Wade was 3-of-4 in a single quarter, 3-of-3 on three-pointers, and even hit 3 three-pointers in a single quarter!

Wade hit three three-pointers in a single quarter!

There is also Covington 2-of-2, Antetokounmpo 1-of-1, and Ibanks 2-of-2.

These five players of the Lakers withstood the crazy impact of the second wave of the Warriors with their all in the third quarter!

Everyone was shocked by the sweaty appearance of the Warriors' players as they collectively changed their jerseys at the end of the third quarter.

But!

The Lakers are even more tired!

Even if a physical monster like Wade needs to rest in the third quarter at such intensity, he can only hand over the offense to McCarvey and be a shooter on the offensive end.

Because, since the second half of the second quarter of this game, the Lakers have only had a five-man rotation, and they have always been these five players on the court.

The Warriors, on the other hand, have always been in a seven-man rotation, although the Warriors' Lefu has also been blocked.

But Barbosa and Livingston could give Curry and Klay and even Iguodala time to rest.

What the Warriors are really tired of is Yi Jianlian and Dream Chasing.

Only the two of them have stayed on the court, because the two of them are the key and core of the Warriors who can suppress the Lakers, and as long as they are there, the Warriors can suppress the Lakers.

Therefore, even Yi Jianlian and Dream Chasing are very tired, but the two always stay on the court.

Cole's purpose is very clear!

It's the whole process of pressure, the limit of pressure!

It's consumption!

It's to consume the Lakers, it's to make the Lakers' physical strength collapse!

And now, the physical strength of the Lakers has been visible to the naked eye to the brink of collapse!

Now, the whole world is waiting for the lineup of the fourth quarter on both sides.

The Warriors, playing at home, were the first to play.

Under the encouragement of Klay Thompson's frantically waving hands, the Warriors fans at the scene let out a deafening cheer.

Yi Jianlian, Dream Green, Iguodala, Curry and Klay.

Seeing the Warriors' lineup for this fourth-quarter showdown, O'Neal had no surprises.

"The Warriors replaced Klay Thompson and Curry at the end of the fourth quarter at the beginning of the fourth quarter!!

The Warriors actually allowed Curry and Klay to stay on the court in the fourth quarter to chase points and tie the gap before the fourth quarter.

That's Curry and Klay are in good offensive form.

But Cole actually chose to change people at the point!

Even if he was 8 points behind, Kerr chose to make a substitution!

Kerr's shocking choice has allowed many professional coaches in the NBA and NCAA to see his potential and brilliance.

Even Popovich was shocked by his disciple's calmness and decisiveness at this time.

After playing Cole in the West Final G1, Popovich never thought that his disciple would grow so rapidly and have such a huge potential!

If it weren't for Coach D, he would have even felt that Kerr would be the strongest rookie head coach in NBA history, the fastest growing and improving rookie head coach!

Playing such a rookie head coach in the playoffs, he didn't even take advantage of it except for G1 to have the absolute upper hand.

It's not just Popovich.

Cole's other teacher, Phil Jackson, was also full of praise for Cole at this time.

"The Lakers are going to be unbearable in the fourth quarter!"

"The third wave of the Warriors will be even more rapid than the first two waves!"

"Steve used Yi and Dream Green to leave the Lakers' five little ones on the court and completely exhausted them!"

This hand is indeed strong!

If the Lakers don't play together, the inside combination of Yi Jianlian and Dream Chasing can be killed at will, whether it is Garnett who was played by Yi Jianlian as a classic car toy, or other Lakers players, they can't break the Warriors' offense at all, and they can't prevent it.

As long as Yi Jianlian and Dream Chaser are on the court at the same time, and Popovich is not on the court at the same time, they may collapse at any time!

Popovich definitely can't afford the Lakers to collapse.

The Lakers' offense is not strong, and the Lakers' offense relies on a breath to resist and bite.

The Warriors can fall behind because the Warriors have a lot of offensive ways to chase points.

However, the Lakers must not be left behind, and the Lakers' offense can be seen and touched by everyone, and there is nothing magical about it.

If you can see it and touch it, it means that you can prevent it.

Therefore, Popovich knew Cole's purpose, but in the end he could only follow Cole's plan.

Because, Popovich has no choice!

"In Steve's body, I even saw the shadow of Coach D!"

"Hahahaha, this old guy must be in a very uncomfortable mood now, hahahaha......"

Is Popovich in a very uncomfortable mood right now?

It's definitely not that happy.

The Warriors were on the lineup early for the fourth quarter.

This is the pressure Cole gave, and it is also Cole's show-off.

In this game, he was indeed suppressed by Cole.

I am played by myself from G1.

to G6 to suppress themselves.

Kerr's coaching in this game really made him see the shadow of Coach D!

Coach D!

Coach D!

Coach D!

Popovich closed his eyes.

"Yes, I'm the toughest head coach in the world who has been humiliated by Coach D."

"I'm also the worst head coach in front of Coach D."

"Even, one look from Coach D can keep me awake all night, thinking about what conspiracy he has in that look."

"They said I had a D-Coach phobia, and that's right."

Popovich, in the midst of everyone's astonished gaze, opened his eyes.

"That's why I'm the only person in the world who has the potential to beat Coach D head-on!

Because, no one knows better than me how powerful Coach D is! ”

"Now, what I want to tell you is that the warriors in front of us are not so invincible!

And you, in the hands of Coach D, have shown me what a truly invincible team looks like!

You can be even stronger!

In this world, except for Coach D, only I know your potential!

Only I know how perfect and powerful Coach D's work is! ”

There was silence all around!

Popovich's categorical remarks silenced all the Lakers players, coaches, and staff around him.

Silence doesn't mean lifeless!

Silence can also be a prelude to an outburst!

Even Seth Curry, at this time, was full of blood, his hands clenched into fists, and he wanted to shout, I want to play!

However, in the end, Seth Curry still gloomily let go of his clenched hands.

He knew that he would never get a chance to play again in this game.

If the opportunity is lost, it may never come back.

His hesitation and confusion ruined his chance.

So.

He could only watch his teammates play.

After seeing his teammates on the court, Seth Curry wanted to sit back in his seat in gloom.

Almost as he sat down in despair, a flash of lightning flashed in his mind.

γ€ŠYes! 》

For him, it's more than just a movie!

He is also the author of Yes! Witnesses!

He was also a witness to one of basketball's greatest moments!

He's a Yes teammate!

Yes is also his competitor, and mentor!

That was his first race with Yes!

"Why do you keep warming up?"

"Seth, maybe I've never given up on myself."

Never give up on yourself!

My coach has been teaching me to always believe in my shots.

Yes has been teaching me to never give up on myself.

And I, on the other hand, never really learned.

"This time, I want to try again......"

Seth Curry had never felt so calm.

This season's 10,000 people are tied, a team of guards, MVP contenders, lost in the flowers, lost in self-doubt.

Finally, he regained his former peace.

It's just that, this time, in such a great game, no one will see the former defender and MVP candidate who is silently warming up in the corner next to him.

All eyes are on the field!

"Oh my God!! Is Popovich really planning to rotate all five men for the next three quarters of this game?!!! ”

"Can't Popovich see how tired they are now?"

"No, I guess Popovich must have seen it! But he didn't have a choice!! ”

"In the face of the Warriors who are in this game, even if Coach D comes, it won't make any difference!!"

In the Auckland night, a speeding car is approaching its destination.

And in the car, what is playing is O'Neill's roar!

In the face of such a Warriors, it is useless for Coach D to come!

The driver in front looked in the rearview mirror.

Because, sitting in the back, is the ......

Legend!

Our Lakers' last defense!
