Chapter 394: Warriors Ask for a Pause!
There are no miracles!
The miracle that Lakers fans were expecting in this game did not happen!
Every goal of the Warriors in this game is full of murderous flavor!
Klay Thompson stopped, and Stephen Curry continued!
The Lakers players are so tired!
A few minutes ago, even if Curry played Antetokounmpo in a small fight, Antetokounmpo could have posted it and wouldn't give Curry any space at all.
But now, Antetokounmpo, who was a little hesitant, gave Curry a chance.
Curry's shooting speed is too fast!
This is the fastest Clippers in NBA history!
97 to 96!
With 3 minutes and 30 seconds left in the game, the game was played until now before the Warriors overtook the score, and the Lakers' performance was already very great.
Every player on the Lakers court has given it their all.
"Every player on the pitch is a hero in this game!"
Curry is roaring!
The Warriors fans at the scene are going crazy!
After a moment of trance, the magician at the scene came back to his senses and began to applaud.
A round of applause for the Lakers players.
A round of applause for the Warriors' players.
Even more applause for this game.
Not just the Magic, soon, Jerry West, other Lakers celebrities, Warriors celebrities, Lakers management, Warriors management.
Even, slowly, those crazy Warriors fans, and secretly sad Lakers fans, slowly joined the team.
"Incredible!"
Seeing such applause from the audience at this time, the audience in front of the TV, the on-site commentators, experts, and reporters were all dumbfounded.
In the NBA, there is never a saying that the game is second and friendship is first, although it is a business league, but victory is always first.
Any black spot, in the face of victory, can be whitewashed, there is no right and wrong here, there is no right or wrong here, there are only winners and losers here.
Especially before Coach D entered the NBA, the NBA was more of a place full of right and wrong.
No one would believe that such applause is a round of applause that transcends victory and defeat.
Especially for NBA professionals like O'Neal, it's even more disbelieving.
"They're not applauding for detachment, they're applauding for themselves!"
"There may be winners and losers in this game, but for the fans and spectators, when they witness a game like this, they are all winners!"
"Everyone here, everyone in front of the TV, witnessed the greatest Western Conference Finals in NBA history tonight!"
"Whether this game is five years from now, ten years from now, or a hundred years from now, there is only one day when the NBA still exists, this game will be a legend!"
"Therefore, such applause is the most glorious applause for the victor and the cruelest encouragement for the loser!"
O'Neill didn't know who the applause was coming from, or what his purpose was.
However, there is a high probability that I didn't think about it so much, and it is probably a heartfelt admiration.
Even if it's him, he was full of black honey before the start of this game, and now he is not convinced by this game?
"If the Lakers ask for a timeout at this time, then the applause will be louder, and the Lakers will get more encouragement to encourage them to enjoy the applause even if they are defeated, and the underdogs in the NBA can enjoy the applause, which is not very common, let alone a standing ovation of this level."
After Curry hit such an incredible three-pointer.
In fact, most people think that Popovich and the Lakers should have asked for a timeout, even if it was a rest.
It looks like the Lakers are more tired than the Warriors.
This applause can be regarded as giving Popovich a step down, so that he will not be unwilling to be pressed and beaten by his disciples because of the unfavorable situation on the field, and he must bring back the situation before calling a timeout.
Therefore, this applause may be very desperate for the Lakers at the end of the game, but for the Lakers at this moment, it is a downward applause.
Everyone will only focus on the applause and the excitement of the game, and will not care that Popovich is pressed and beaten by Kerr, and finally loses the 10-point lead.
However, just when O'Neal and Kenny Smith felt the Lakers were finally going to take a timeout......
Popovich on the sidelines clapped his palms and then made a gesture to continue the attack!
Popovich's gesture stunned even Kobe Bryant next to him.
Klay Thompson's hand just now was just right, and he didn't call a timeout to interrupt.
Now Curry's touch is coming again, and he doesn't call a timeout to interrupt.
"Bobo ......"
"The Warriors don't have three points, they can still play, and if we don't have that, we can't keep going."
After Popovich finished speaking, Kobe, Maddie, Yao Ming and others next to him instantly realized.
A person who has reached the limit of physical fitness, after stopping, I am afraid that he will no longer be able to move.
A person who is deep in the ice and snow, after falling asleep, I am afraid that he will never be able to get up again.
Popovich was defeated by Kerr in terms of tactical system in this game.
However, the Lakers have been able to hold on to such an extremely unfavorable game until now, and Popovich's judgment of the game and control of the game situation are absolutely creditable.
Although he doesn't have the eyes of Coach D who can see through time and the future, he has the sharpest eyes in the NBA besides Coach D.
Soon, Popovich's decision not to ask for a timeout paid off.
The Lakers attacked, and in the final moments, the basketball was once again in the hands of Westbrook.
Westbrook forced Curry, and this time Yi Jianlian and Dream both paid attention to Antetokounmpo and Ibanks' grabbing boards.
It's impossible for a player like them to fall into a ditch twice.
So, Antetokounmpo and Ibanks were stuck out of the basket.
And McCarvey faced the situation that the basket was full of people, although after rushing past Curry, he threw the basketball very high, but with McCarvey's shooting ability and feel, this kind of high-throw throw is basically impossible to hit.
Therefore, hearing McCarvey's throwing iron, Yi Jianlian and Dream Chasing had no surprises.
Even Curry, who was rushed by McCarvey, breathed a sigh of relief and was ready to attack quickly.
When Curry turned around, he was ready for McCarvey to chase him back.
But!
What shocked Curry!
The moment he turned around!
He saw McCarvey like a spring man, and with a bang, he got up again!
This kind of sudden stop and jump after the throw does not talk about the problem of hurting the knee or not.
The very nature of this style of play is full of shock!
It reminds people almost subconsciously of the super turtle of the Thunder team again!
At this time, Yi Jianlian and Dream Chaser, who were in Kaadetokounmpo and Ibanks, never thought that McCarvey would be so crazy.
It was too late for them to react to the mid lane, and McCarvey was so fast!
And jumping too high!
Even, even if Curry is not ready to attack quickly, but detours in front of McCarvey, it will make people suspect that Curry will be directly flown by McCarvey!
In the end, the side of the dream chaser could only make up for the loss and grabbed a step!
At the same time!
Bang!
McCarvey rode on Dream Chaser and completed this world-shattering dunk!
McCarvey's dunk even directly deducted the applause from the scene!
97 to 98!
The Lakers once again overtook by 1 point!
Get off the basket.
McCarvey evaded the chase of his teammates and rushed to the Warriors fan area on the sidelines, screaming like Curry who had just shot a three-pointer.
"We don't need applause!"
"We don't need sympathy!"
"We just want to win!"
"When the game is over, I'll hear the best boos in the world!"
Oh my God!!!
McCarvey's operation directly shocked the entire Oracle Arena.
Including the magician who gave a round of applause.
The Magic really felt that the Lakers players were so great in this game that he didn't really have much else to think about.
I didn't expect it!
"These boys!"
"We have some of the greatest bunch of young guys in the NBA!"
"This is the new Lakers culture that Coach D has created for us!"
"That's why we've been able to wash away 40 years of shame!"
"It's incredible, our team is incredible!!"
Although he was wiped face, after a while, the magician, Baylor, and the Lakers celebrities on the scene were all pleasantly surprised.
"As long as they don't feel like the game is over, then the game isn't over!!"
Lakers celebrities and fans are moving.
And the Warriors fans at the scene directly booed.
After the game is over, there is no need to end the game at all.
Now, we're going to let you hear what the most beautiful boos are!
Warriors offense.
The Lakers' defense is still extremely tight.
Confrontation, pursuit, delay, however, the footsteps of the Lakers players visible to the naked eye are not so fast.
Even, in order to pursue Curry and Klay Thompson, even Iguodala, who could never be put before, was released a little!
Iguodala is revealed!
Iguodala, who has shot an unknown number of key shots in this game, actually showed up at the last moment!
No way!
This is really no way!
Popovich on the sidelines gritted his teeth and chose to believe and understand the decisions of the Lakers' players on the court.
He won't blame them, he'll just applaud the decisiveness of the Lakers players on the court.
Yi, Klay Thompson and Curry, these three guys are too hard to guard!
With 2 minutes and 36 seconds left in the game, Iguodala received a shot from Dream Green, got a chance outside the three-point line, and made a decisive shot.
Pierce, who jumped over and sealed it, actually interfered more than substance.
But!
Bang!
Strike iron!
Iguodala's key three points actually hit the iron!!
This surprised Popovich on the sidelines.
"The Warriors' players are also at their limits!!!
Iguodala is clearly at the limit of her fitness!
He must only be Iguodala, not God!
McCarvey picked up the backcourt rebound and pushed the fast break directly.
The player on both sides of the pitch at the moment is the most energetic one on the pitch!
"If the Lakers can win this game, then McCarvey, who is 7-of-21 in this game so far, will definitely be the biggest contributor!!"
"The number of hits in a game is important, but a player's performance must not be just based on the percentage of hits!"
McCarvey, who quickly pushed the ball across the half court, faced Iguodala who was blocking him, did not wait for his teammates to settle down, and shot directly outside the three-point line in one step!
McCarvey, fast-break three-point shot?!
Iguodala was dumbfounded!
However, Warriors head coach Kerr on the sidelines broke out in a cold sweat.
"Be careful!!
Kerr's reminder on the sidelines was too late, McCarvey finished his three-point shot with an extremely non-standard forward posture, and as soon as he landed, he rushed directly to the three-point line and rushed to the basket.
Curry just shot a three-pointer to celebrate in advance!
And McCarvey ......
"Oh my God! McCarvey shot three points and grabbed the rebounds directly in the frontcourt!! ”
"Did McCarvey himself resign himself to his shot?!!!
McCarvey is gambling.
He knew that even if he passed Iguodala, it was unlikely that he would succeed in a layup under Iguodala's chase with his height, and it should be said that there was no possibility.
But!
What if you have an extra hand?
One more hand that no one can think of?
If you can hit the three-point game, you must make a lot of money, if you can't hit it, you can grab the frontcourt rebound and dunk it directly, and you can earn it!
This is much better than waiting for teammates to settle down and play a difficult positional attack!
That's why he didn't press the tempo when his team led by one point at 98-97.
This kind of operation, if it succeeds, it is the invincible turtle, and if it fails, it is a tumor!
"Coach, I finally understand why you say your favorite player is Westbrook!"
McCarvey has always wanted to be the best, favorite player in Coach D's heart.
Since there is a ready-made template, how could he not learn!
Although I didn't know why the coach would say that he liked Wei Shao's dichotomy the most.
But he's been studying hard, but he can't use it in the game.
Because there are so many solutions to problems in the Lakers that there is no need for him to play Westbrook's suicidal offense on the team.
Right now!
That's when the team needs him to do it!
"The whole world says that you are a cancer, only the coach can see it, everything you do is for the team!
The whole world says that you are the most selfish player, only the coach can see that you are the most selfless player who has carried everything! ”
"Now, I'm carrying everything !! too"
McCarvey stepped on the three-point line and jumped straight up!
The whole audience booed just now, and at this moment, he was beaten by McCarvey again!
Looking at the Lakers guard flying in the air at this time, Wei Shao, who was very disdainful of imitating himself in front of the TV just now, stood up at this time!
He could see that this was no longer an imitation!
This is simply him!!
Same!!!
Westbrook's eyes flickered.
"Got it, he's in the air, got that rebound!"
"Iguodala can't do anything about it!"
"Now, no one can stop him!"
"I have never changed my life for the Thunder, and he wants to use my style of play to change his life for the Lakers and !!!"
At this moment, Westbrook's eyes are not McCarvey, but wearing a Thunder jersey, for the Thunder, for Durant, and for his brothers to change their lives!
The dream is beautiful!
But!
There was a snap!
When Westbrook woke up from his dream, the picture in front of him had changed!
In the air, McCarvey, who was dunking, was directly slapped by Yi Jianlian, who rushed up behind him, and slapped the basketball out of the bottom line!
McCarvey's hand shook over Iguodala.
It also created the possibility of time for Yi Jianlian to chase back.
Just a little bit ......
Why?
Why is it only a little bit shorter?
Westbrook sat down on the couch in a daze.
At this time, the Oracle Center is boiling again!
When Yi Jianlian, who flew off the court, was pulled up by his teammates, the audience was applauded by the MVP!
"Incredible offense, incredible defense, not just this game, every round of this game is legendary!!!"
O'Neill has stood up!
At this point, everyone is on their feet!
The game continued.
The Lakers serve the baseline ball.
The Lakers reorganized their offense.
With 2:06 left in the game, the Lakers hit the ball to Wade in the final moments, and Wade missed the shot.
At this time, the score was still 97-98, and the Lakers led by one point.
"Wade's mid-range iron once again proves the correctness of McCarvey's choice just now!"
It's best for the Lakers to attack now and not fall into position, and now there is no one on the Lakers court who can score under a defense like the Warriors!
Good luck may be possible, but Coach D is famously the luckiest guy, and the Lakers are also famously the luckiest team!
Wade's rebound fell into Yi Jianlian's hands, and if it had been five minutes ago, Lakers fans would have collapsed by this time.
The Warriors' fast break is going crazy again.
However, this time, the Warriors didn't go crazy!
"Yi Jianlian's defense just now consumed him a lot!!"
"Space Yi has also reached the limit of physical strength now!!"
"After the Lakers players took the lead in entering the physical limit, the Warriors players also entered the physical limit one by one!!"
The Warriors fell into a positional battle, and this Lakers team was not so afraid.
With 1:42 left in the game, Iguodala had another chance to shoot.
This time, Iguodala was not so confident in his three-point line and chose to dribble one step into the three-point line, but this one step gave Pierce space to block.
Iguodala's shot was actually blocked directly by Pierce!
Warriors, 24 seconds, turnover!
With 1 minute and 42 seconds left in the game, the Warriors were still 97-98 trailing by one point!
The Lakers didn't wait for a miracle!
But!
"The Lakers saw that man wins the !!"
"Man conquers heaven! That's the philosophy that this D-Coach Lakers have been practicing all along! ”
"Every victory of Coach D and this Laker is not by God's handout, and even, it is obtained by defeating God!"
"They don't believe in luck or fate!"
"They are the bravest bunch of people in the NBA!!"
At 3:30, the Warriors took the lead.
But the game lasted until there was 1 minute and 19 seconds left, Wade hit the iron again, and Wade hit the iron outside the three-point line, and the Lakers actually led by 1 point 98-97!
With 1:01 left in the game, Curry hit an iron from beyond the three-point line.
With 39 seconds left in the game, Westbrook broke through and was tackled by Iguodala and missed.
At this time, the arena has been completely white-hot, and the stimulation is completely suffocating.
"Can the Lakers really bite into the win of this game?!"
And at this time, Du Kang is running wildly!
Is there enough time?
And right now!
"The Warriors request a timeout!"
