The strongest unicorn in basketball

Chapter 329 Advancing to the Finals
On May 5, Game 25 of the Western Conference Finals returned to the Oracle Arena.

Before the game, both Splash and Liba came to the arena for training three hours in advance, and everyone wanted to be fully prepared for this game.

For Splash, this game is a battle of life and death, and for Li Ba, it cannot fail.

After all, if we lose this match, and we reach the tiebreaker, with the support of the referee, it's really hard to say who will win!
The tense preparations before the game were fleeting, and soon came the moment when the game started.

Although the team was in desperation, the cheers of the fans at the scene did not diminish in the slightest.

The Warriors this season turned out to be out of nowhere. Although all the light was overshadowed by the King, the Warriors fans were very satisfied.

The main players of the team are still young, and they will have a lot of time to chase the championship in the future.

However, the Warriors players don't think so. They not only want the future, but also the present!

After the game started, the Warriors took the lead in launching an onslaught.

Tonight, Li Pu seemed to have calmed down a lot. He no longer attacked as he did in the previous game, but reintegrated himself into the team system.

Of course it is right to do this, after all, basketball is a sport of five people, you can win a game by yourself, but it is impossible to win the whole series by one person!

From the beginning of the game, Thompson was the first to stand up for the Warriors.

As soon as he came up, Thompson hit 3 consecutive three-pointers.

G6 soup really lives up to its reputation.

However, Thompson alone could not kill the king!
The other players of the Kings also played well tonight, which is why Li Pu didn't start the unparalleled mode in the first quarter.

At the end of the first quarter, at 30:28, the Kings will lead by 2 points.

Thompson scored 12 points in a single quarter, Curry scored 8 points, and the Kings, Li Pu only scored 4 points.

However, the Kings are still ahead. Of course, it is the strength of the rest of the team.

Butler had 6 points, Middleton had 6 points, Giannis had 4 points, Bledsoe had 5 points, and the starting five scored very evenly.

To be honest, the depth of the Warriors' lineup is already pretty scary in the league.

Thanks to Curry's child labor contract, the Warriors not only have a strong starting lineup, but also have a group of good players such as Iguodala, Livingston, and Barbosa on the bench.

But with such a substitute lineup, when facing the Kings, they were actually at a disadvantage.

Not to mention that the starters are completely suppressed, but on the bench, Thomas Jr., Thornton, Covington, etc., it is difficult for the Warriors to match, let alone Jokic who was DNP in this round of the series!
Even in such an anxious game, Cole did not shorten the rotation. At the beginning of the second quarter, there were still three substitutes on the court.

The Kings are even worse. Except for Butler on the court, the other four are all substitutes.

The feel of the substitute players did not seem to be as hot as that of the starters. After the opening of the second quarter, neither side scored for several consecutive rounds.

It wasn't until Thompson returned to the court and scored another three-pointer that the deadlock was broken.

Thompson tonight is amazing, no matter how Butler defends, Thompson will always have a way to put the ball into the basket!

Seeing that the Warriors were about to take off, Coach Brown quickly brought Li Pu back.

To deal with the glamorous Buddha, you need a young king!
Now the title of king has been quietly given to Li Pu.

As for the last one, it is very difficult to regain this title before winning the championship!

As soon as Li Pu comes back, it will be effective!

He took the ball to the inside and used a drop shot against Bogut to score for the Kings.

Li Pu is really proficient in all kinds of martial arts in the [-]th class on the offensive end. He is capable inside and outside, and his touch is soft. Let alone a warrior without a center, he can't defend him, even any center in the league can't defend him!

With Li Pu back on the court, the scores of the two teams began to get anxious again.

Although Li Pu still didn't score many points in the second quarter, as long as he stands on the court, he can contribute to the team.

At halftime, 61:58, the Kings trailed by 3 points.

In this quarter, Curry and Thompson broke out at the same time, and the two teamed up to hit 5 three-pointers, overtaking the score in one fell swoop.

Li Pu scored 8 points in this quarter. Compared with the first quarter, the number of shots is naturally more, but compared with the previous game, this guy obviously hasn't exerted his strength yet.

Even though the Warriors are at home tonight and the home whistle does exist, judging from the scale of whistleblowing, it is not too much for Li Pu.

Li Pu did this because his teammates performed very well, so he asked them to attack more!
For Li Pu, if he can lie down and win, he will definitely not work hard!
However, in the second half, Li Pu couldn't do it even if he couldn't figure it out!
At the beginning of the second half, Thompson scored two more three-pointers.

At this time, Thompson had hit 7 three-pointers and scored 28 points.

Seeing that the point difference is about to run to 10 points, Li Pu must stand up at this time!
Li Pu held the ball in a high position and played a fake hand-off with Bledsoe, and then quickly turned around and broke through. After facing the help defense, he directly chose to turn around and make a jumper.

"Shh!"

Basketball hollow into the net!

For this ball, the Warriors used Bogut and Green to pinch together, but it was still useless!

With this goal scored, Li Pu once again turned on the dominance mode.

Three-pointers, mid-range shots, and hooks, Li Pu is almost omnipotent. He even scored 18 points in a single quarter, which completely withstood the Splash Brothers' ten thousand arrows.

After the third quarter, the two teams drew 88:88.

In the fourth quarter, both Cole and Coach Brown shortened the rotation time.

There is no way, now that the most critical moment has come, no one dares to continue to show off!
If you still change at this time, it is very likely that you will be taken away by the opponent.

So at the beginning of the fourth quarter, whether it was Curry, Thompson, or Li Pu, they were all on the court.

Compared with the accurate three-pointers in the first three quarters, the Warriors' shooting percentage finally began to decline in this quarter.

The reason is not difficult to understand. Although Cole has been trying to extend the rotation time, tonight's game is doomed that the players will not be able to get enough rest. The intensity of the game is so intense, and the drop in the Splash Brothers' shooting rate is also foreseeable. up.

However, the decline in the Warriors' shooting percentage does not mean that Li Pu's shooting percentage has declined.

We all know that the closer to the basket, the higher the shooting rate!

Is there anyone closer to the basket than Li Pu?

So, I saw Li Pu hit the basket many times in the fourth quarter.

Since he didn't exert much force in the first three quarters, his energy in the fourth quarter was far more abundant than others!
So Li Pu continued to exert force in the fourth quarter, and the Kings completely grasped the rhythm of the entire game.

Although the Warriors did not give up, at the end of the fourth quarter, Curry also hit a three-pointer to narrow the gap.

But in the end, with Li Pu's turnaround jumper, he successfully killed the game!

At 111:108, the Kings successfully eliminated their opponents at the home court of the Warriors, and entered the finals again after 64 years.
