Chapter 390: Lakers, Not Dead Yet!
The Lakers and Warriors had a breathless break in the third quarter.
After the Warriors took the lead in sending the final lineup, the Lakers' desperate five also played.
Popovich and the Lakers don't have any options.
As O'Neill yelled, even if Coach D was here, there was no other choice.
Because the Warriors' five small, it's perfect!
Because the Warriors' five small, playing Falk basketball, are too strong!
The Lakers only have these five players who can withstand it.
It's not about winning, it's about withstanding!
And the premise that the Lakers can withstand it is that Wade's miracle of three three-pointers and three-of-threes in a single quarter is a miracle like a 100% shooting rate of other Lakers players.
You can say that Klay Thompson's 10 three-pointers in the third quarter of this game is a miracle, but the offensive performance of the Lakers in this game, with 84 points in the third quarter under the crazy defense of the five smalls, is it not a miracle that cannot be repeated?
The Lakers have no future!
"Even if the next game of the Lakers is a home game, even if the losing tiebreaker Lakers will face the Warriors in Los Angeles, they will not have any chance, the Lakers only have this one chance to advance, only this one!"
Everyone saw the gap between the Lakers and the Warriors, even Teacher Zhang Lili.
Even in front of the TV, Chinese fans on the Internet can see it.
So, everyone was nervously staring at the big screen.
Kobe Bryant, Garnett, Yes, Maddy, Yao Ming, everyone on the sidelines were staring at the attacking Lakers players on the court at this time.
At the start of the game, the Lakers attacked first.
In the third quarter of the game, Wade, who stood on the court and rested a little, did not flinch at this moment, nor did he shake the pot, leading by eight points, and once again stretched the difference to 10 points, which is a huge psychological hint and psychological advantage.
There is no reason for him to leave this ball to the rest of the team.
After McCarvey dribbled across the halfcourt, Vedra came out to catch the ball and didn't block Curry because he was bound to be trapped.
Playing this little five, if you're not surrounded by a round of three-point shooters, you have to play unlimited singles!
But!
Wade gritted his teeth!
This group of forwards of the Warriors is too strong!
Yi Jianlian pushed Green out!
This time, it was Dream Green who chased out to defend Wade.
Green is better than Iguodala to break through.
However, Green's defensive shooting was even better than Iguodala's.
The Warriors are betting, betting that Wade will not dare to rush as soon as he comes up in the fourth quarter!
Because Wade is more important than everyone else in the Lakers, his physical strength must not collapse before the end.
Because the Lakers don't just need him offensively, they also need him defensively.
"Yi, you've won!"
Wade glanced at Yi Jianlian deeply.
The last step back to break to the right stepped on the three-point line and pulled up!
Bang!
Wade was the Lakers' first offense in the fourth quarter.
It was 11 minutes and 45 seconds left in the fourth quarter.
After Yi Jianlian grabbed the rebound in the backcourt, he didn't hesitate and rushed out to the front court with the ball.
Antetokounmpo wanted to cut off Yi Jianlian in the middle.
But!
Facing Antetokounmpo who rushed over, Yi Jianlian made an emergency stop and a look, and directly flew Antetokounmpo.
That expressionless look in the eyes feints.
Spurs fans in front of the TV almost subconsciously thought of a certain team celebrity.
"Duncan!!"
And the Clippers fans in front of the TV subconsciously thought of their star Griffin.
"It's too strong!"
"Yi is too strong!!"
Even O'Neill on the sidelines was stunned.
Duncan!
As Duncan's lifelong enemy, he has seen many so-called Duncan II, such as Bogut, such as Auden, and so on.
Even Maddie.
The one most like Duncan will definitely not be Yi Jianlian.
Maddie is more like Yi Jianlian.
But!
Yi Jianlian 2.13 meters!
Compared with Maddie, Yi Jianlian is really blessed!
If Maddie does such a move, Antetokounmpo will definitely not fly, even if Maddie really passes, Antetokounmpo's height and arm length can cover it, and there is no need to jump.
But Yi Jianlian, no.
After being flown by Yi Jianlian, Antetokounmpo was desperate.
I could only watch Yi Jianlian get up sharply and accelerate forward.
Sudden stop, eyes, hurry, all in one go, except for Antetokounmpo who flew up, even no one else felt that Yi Jianlian had any pause.
A short five-on-four in the frontcourt.
Antetokounmpo is already chasing very hard.
However, Yi Jianlian's long legs and super acceleration are equally endowed with it, and he came to the attack area in three big steps.
Antetokounmpo is also three steps away from catching up.
But in front of Yi Jianlian, Antetokounmpo was only a little bit short in the end.
The Lakers' defense, whose formation was completely chaotic, finally exposed Klay.
There is no way, Yi Jianlian has reached the three-point line, defends nearby, and must not let Yi Jianlian shoot empty three-pointers.
Wade, no choice!
And Klay Thompson received a pass from Yi Jianlian, did not hesitate, and shot in the open space.
Brush it up!
Three-point hit!
79 to 84!
A difference of eight points becomes 5 points in an instant!
“Bang!!!! It was Klay Thompson's 11th three-pointer of the game! This is Klay Thompson's personal 40th point in this game! Our splashes have been made and the waves have been formed, unstoppable!! ”
Live Warrior DJ is going crazy!
The Warriors fans at the scene are going crazy!
The Lakers fans at the scene were in despair!
The Lakers celebrities on the scene are also desperate!
And Popovich on the sidelines, with his hands behind his back at this time, closed his eyes, and couldn't see any expression, but his clenched fists and trembling fists betrayed his mood.
It only took 9 seconds for Wade to hit the iron, and the Warriors' offense took only 9 seconds!
It's unbelievably fast, it's unbelievably powerful!
Nervous!
Everyone is nervous!
Including the Lakers players on the court!
Everyone knows that the Lakers' second and third quarters withstood the Warriors' offense as a miracle, a miracle more than Klay Thompson's 10 three-pointers in the third quarter.
Miracles have already occurred once, twice, and it is impossible to happen a third time.
The Lakers went on offense.
This time the Lakers offense was more patient.
"In the face of such pressure, the Lakers can calm down, these young people are really good, and these young people trained by Coach D are really good!"
Wade didn't dare to run out of physical strength at the beginning.
So in the face of the Warriors' strongest defensive pressure, it is actually not wise to let Wade attack, Wade is now more suitable to be a shooter on the offensive end and work the defensive end.
Having said that, it's really rare for a role player, a young player, to dare to take responsibility under so much pressure.
In the third quarter, McCarvey took the initiative to assume the responsibility of the Lakers' attack.
This time, McCarvey stepped up.
Against Curry's defense, he's actually the one with the best chances of any Lakers player on the court.
Breakthrough!
Antagonism!
After knocking Curry into the air, McCarvey made a quick stop to shoot from mid-range!
Bang the iron!
Dream Green grabs the backcourt rebound!
Dream Chaser Green wants to push the fast attack directly like Yi Jianlian just now.
Fast, that's the Warriors' thinking in the fourth quarter!
It's about playing more rounds, more attrition to the Lakers.
But!
Dream Chaser Green turned around!
"Dream Chasing!"
What?!
Hearing Curry's voice, Green was stunned for a moment!
And then!
He saw McCarvey, who had just struck the iron, and had already pounced in front of him!!
This is a way of playing?!
Fark !!
How did this Thunder Turtle get on a Lakers jersey!!
Even Westbrook himself in front of the TV was shocked.
This style is indeed like, very like!
"I'm shooting a lot better than him!"
Wei Shao pouted.
And on the court, after being tackled by McCarvey's sudden and energetic steal, Dream Green could only choose to foul.
Pick up the McCarvey who has already jumped up!
McCarvey shot only 20 percent from three-point range and 40 percent from the field in the playoffs this season, but he shot 70 percent from the free-throw line.
A 70 percent free throw shooting percentage isn't low, but it's not high either.
It's better to get a defender to play than to have McCarvey dunk it directly.
It can only be said that Dream Chaser Green reacted really quickly after making a mistake.
And this time, McCarvey, who was standing at the free throw line with a blank face, took a deep breath.
"The Lakers can't afford to waste any chances!"
"I didn't waste any capital of chance!"
Hit both penalties!
“Yes! Yes!! Yes!!! ”
McCarvey, who hit both free throws, could no longer maintain a expressionless posture and swung three punches in a row!
Dream Chaser Green, who was watching next to him, gritted his teeth and looked at the Lakers players who were celebrating wildly around McCarvey, with a look of indignation.
79 to 86!
Once again, the difference between the two teams has reached 7 points.
"The Lakers are persevering, the Lakers are still stubbornly scrambling, and they are still stubbornly persevering! McCarvey's chance is his chance to spell out with the Lakers!! ”
When McCarvey hit both free throws and the five players on the Lakers court formed a punch to motivate each other, Mr. Zhang Li really cried.
"I was so impressed! The performance of the Lakers players in this game was so impressive! ”
Even Yang Huahua had to admit at this time that the performance of the Lakers' group of players was too unbelievable.
"We could have been better! We can be stronger! Only we make others despair, and we never despair! ”
"We never despair!"
"Wow~!!"
Under Wade's leadership, the Lakers players quickly returned to defensive positions after motivating each other.
Look at the five Lakers players on the court at this time.
Antetokounmpo, McCarvey, Covington, Ebanks, Wade, no one is unmoved!
Even Warriors fans.
Even Cole was extremely moved.
"This is the greatest opponent!"
"Maybe the Finals are waiting for us as the strongest opponent, and the greatest opponent is the Lakers we meet now!"
"Beating Coach D's team is never easy, it's always so hard!"
Kerr feels like he'll give the Laker the utmost respect.
But!
Cole smiled.
They, or die!
Then, the smile on Cole's face froze.
On the court, Klay Thompson was stuck by Wade, and as long as he passed the ball and continued to run and continue to organize.
However, this time, Wade directly gave Thompson a breakthrough route, and Thompson did not pass the ball and actually broke through!!
Thompson outside the three-point line is the best Thompson!
Nima, the breakthrough of LingTM!
It's a trap!!
If Klay Thompson, who shoots off the pass button from outside the three-point line, is the second player in the world who drives fans crazy, then Klay, who holds the ball, is definitely the player who drives Warriors fans crazy in the world!
No surprises!
Bang!
Klay Thompson's pull-up jump shot was directly blocked by Wade next to him!
And it's the kind of extremely humiliating hat!
After catching Klay, Wade went straight to the fast attack.
In six seconds, he completed all the actions to kill the opponent's half and shoot.
In an ordinary team, with an offensive fast attack speed like Wade, it must be able to go straight to the basket!
But!
Fack!
Iguodala was already blocking Wade's path at the free-throw line.
Wade had no choice but to make a pull-up jumper.
In the face of Iguodala's defense, it is difficult to make a pull-up jump shot against people, but at least it is better than the opportunity to play a positional battle.
The current physical strength of the Lakers players, playing positional battles, is basically no play.
Bang!
Wade's pull-up jump shot hits the iron.
Wade, who was 3-of-3 from three-point range in the third quarter, has already hit two irons in a row in the fourth quarter in the more skilled mid-range.
"Wade has too much consumption on the defensive end to defend Curry and Klay!"
Wade hit a two-point iron, and Antetokounmpo, who followed up, grabbed the rebound in the front court, and the dunk was directly blocked by Yi Jianlian, who caught up behind him!
The Lakers attacked two times in a row, but they all failed!
What is Despair?
This is despair!
"In this game, Wade needs to attack and defend, while Yi and Dream Green only need to defend!"
"That's the biggest difference between the Lakers and the Warriors, the Warriors rely too much on Wade for this game!"
Anyone with a discerning eye can see the real difference between the Lakers and the Warriors in this game.
Yi Jianlian and Dream Chasing were responsible for defending this game, and Popovich and the Lakers did not give them the opportunity to be responsible for the offense, because they were on the court, and all the wins were five small matchups, and they had no chance to attack.
Curry and Klay, on the other hand, are responsible for the offense throughout the whole process, and their defensive opponents are McCarvey or Covington, and there is no shooting threat.
Especially Covington, Klay's defense is not too easy, which is the underlying reason why his offense is so fierce.
Curry is still tired of defending McCarvey, so he's been playing Klay with support.
And Iguodala, except for a few in the second quarter, locked Wade and fought against Wade throughout the whole process.
Ten players on the entire pitch.
Wade alone is responsible for both offensive and defensive ends.
Each round is to play the most difficult defender on the offensive end and the most accurate offensive player on the defensive end.
"This is also Cole's scheme! In this Lakers, only Wade can attack the Warriors alone, and the defense can chase Klay and Curry! ”
Wade, who was two consecutive irons on the court, was distressed to see O'Neal!
The basketball blocked by Yi Jianlian finally fell into the hands of Dream Chaser.
This time, Dream Chaser Green was a little more careful, and he was still pushing the fast attack.
This time the Warriors offense took a total of nine seconds.
Dream Green quickly advanced to the front court and then passed the ball to Klay Thompson.
There are no other passes in between.
Klay Thompson didn't break through again this time, mainly because the quality of the cover from the hand-to-hand pass of Dream Green was too good this time.
Wade is blocked!
Ibanks' tall figure can't be snatched, and he can only rely on his long hands to seal it, so there is less pressure on Thompson.
The most important thing is that Dream Chaser Green moved to cover, one person stuck two, do you really think it's that easy?
Brush it up!
Klay Thompson hits a three-point shot!
82 to 86!
"Oh my God! Klay Thompson is still hitting! Incredible night! Unbelievable performance! It was Klay Thompson's twelfth three-pointer of the game, and it was Klay Thompson's personal 43rd point!! ”
"The Lakers and Warriors are only four points apart now!"
"The Lakers are going to collapse, this time, are the Lakers finally going to collapse?!"
O'Neill's words just fell.
On the court, McCarvey threw his body into the air!
Just like Wade back then!
It's just that, this time it's different, there's no whistle!
McCarvey is not Wade!
Even if it is Wade, the current Lakers will not have a whistle!
"McCarvey broke through Curry, but the Warriors' defense under the basket was too good, and the iron, McCarvey's layup even went straight to the !!"
The Chinese fans in front of the TV have heard the cry of Teacher Zhang Lili!
And just when Teacher Zhang was about to cry when he was already being chased by the warriors!
McCarvey's three-way shot, the backcourt rebound that was about to be grabbed by Iguodala, was actually jumped high from behind and grabbed it early!!
Lakers!
Number Three!
Ibanks, who picked up this frontcourt rebound on Iguodala's head, did not hesitate, rode directly on Iguodala's neck, and smashed it with one hand!
I don't have that great skills, and I don't have that great abilities.
But!
Offense, defense, ball control, shooting, three-pointers, and even grabbing frontcourt rebounds!
I'll !! anything
Devon !! Ibanx !!! ”
Clang!!
Ibanks' one-handed split!
82 to 88!
"Oh my God!!
Lakers, not dead yet!! ”
