NBA: I am a master dealer

Chapter 471 The boomerang flies to me!

Chapter 471 The boomerang flies to me!
As soon as the game started, Mike Brown discovered that he was wrong.

Durant and Curry's method of dealing with big men can definitely be regarded as standard military training. They cross steps, probe forward, and then pull back, either to take a direct shot, or to wait for Zubac to take off and catch him for a foul.

Such a simple trick made Zubac doubt his life.

The main reason is that Zubac's speed and movements are too slow and cannot match the rhythm of Curry and Durant.

This caused the Lakers to have a bad start and were beaten 16:6.

When they calmed down, the Warriors' running and cutting system began to take effect. In addition, the Warriors' transition level was very high, and Marvin Williams, who came from the Lakers, was really limited in defense and frame protection, causing the Lakers to They lost by 22 points at 34:12 in the first quarter.

The situation is not optimistic.

Mike Brown also realized the seriousness of the matter and kept encouraging during the break: "This point difference is nothing. Next, as long as we go down at our own pace, then all problems will not be a problem. I believe everyone With such strength, as long as we win this game, it will be 2:0. We return to the home court with a 2:0 advantage. What this means, I think all of you know better than me."

But Xue Liancheng knew that it was useless to just talk. He had to show his own level and narrow the score difference. This was the most convincing way.

So after the second quarter started, he used the plan he had already prepared.

The half-time score was fixed at 50:58. The two sides were still fighting, but the Lakers were slightly behind.

This is the current situation of the Warriors.

Curry + Thompson + Durant are playing the game under such huge pressure. Can they not work hard?
The reason why Curry's shots are frequently deformed is also caused by the huge pressure.

Without the super firepower of Curry, the Warriors' offense has indeed been weakened a lot.

The commentator agreed: "Yes, they are a 70-win team with Durant! In terms of paper strength, this year's Warriors can definitely be called a super battleship in the history of the NBA. If they fail, I I can’t imagine what kind of storm they will face.”

The words were full of disdain, and the sarcasm was very obvious.

But Xue Liancheng smiled.

Curry seemed to be really affected. He made 5 of 1 in a single quarter, 3 of 0 three-pointers, and only scored 4 points. His performance was unsatisfactory.

Xue Liancheng occasionally performed, but compared with the crazy goals scored in the previous game, the difference was really not even a little bit worse.

The host of the live broadcast made a summary: "The Warriors really worked hard in this game. Their assist defense and supplementary defense responses were really not very fast. The Lakers' offense was seriously affected, especially in terms of fast break transitions. Compared with the previous game It’s like two different teams.”

The commentator laughed: "If you don't fight hard, you will fall behind 0:2. If you go to Los Angeles with such a big score, you will basically escape death. Therefore, the Warriors have no retreat. They must win this game. There is no other choice."

Xue's statement just now that "power is being injected into the body" was obviously damaging to Curry.

Xue Liancheng, however, did not hesitate: "If I step over you, it is really no different from directly awarding the award."

In the finals last year and the year before last, Xue Liancheng defeated the Warriors consecutively and climbed to the top by stepping on the Warriors' corpses, which seemed to be destiny.

Xue Liancheng: "I think now is the right time to talk about it, because I can already vaguely feel the power being injected into my body. It will help me release energy and win this game."

The mid-range is very stable, and the hard-clearance ability is undoubtedly the top in the league today. It can ignore your defense and confrontation, thereby killing you.

Xue Liancheng did not continue teasing, he knew enough was enough.

Curry sneered even more, "Ha! I'll just give you the award."

The Lakers regained some ground with 28:24 in a single quarter.

It's psychological warfare.

As soon as he came up, while defending Curry, he said with a smile: "Stephen, I said the victory in this game still belongs to me, do you believe it?"

Curry's overreaction just illustrates the problem.

Curry had a cold face, obviously not that fragile: "Catch up with the score first, and then talk to me about this issue."

Curry snorted coldly, stopped answering, and started running as soon as he became frustrated.

After hearing this, Curry finally had some reaction and raised his eyebrows lightly: "Haha! I am very much looking forward to your next performance."

On the other hand, if you fail to win the championship, it means failure and you will be ridiculed by the whole world!

And the most important thing is, Durant is really a killer!

They are regarded as a historically strong team and winning the championship is the most basic requirement.

soon.

When Curry felt the impact on his hand, Thompson replaced part of Curry's functions.

In fatalistic terms, that mysterious force is like providence.

Obviously.

The third quarter begins.

Curry still failed to recover, and his shooting efficiency was very average, but he is a superstar after all. His ability to move and create space is still retained, and he can also connect the ball and make connections in a decent manner.

Thompson turned into a support player, occasionally making air cuts, occasionally taking the ball to kill, and occasionally shooting a three-pointer.

The game still continues so fiercely.

But Thompson is not a ball handler after all, and his vision is not that wide. When Courtney Lee fights against Thompson, he can sometimes force people to stop and bring the Warriors' offense to a standstill.

That's right.

Xue Liancheng struck while the iron was hot: "And once I return to Los Angeles with 2:0, does that mean the countdown to this series has entered?"

If he continues to tease, it will be noisy, which will distract Curry and release the psychological pressure he just formed.

Therefore, his words were extremely harsh to Curry, and he had obvious mood swings.

The Lakers also have many problems.

Under the Warriors' crazy assist defense, their main transitions and fast breaks failed to have the desired effect.

And George fell into a slump, which directly caused Xue Liancheng's offensive pressure to hit him like a tidal wave.

Once Xue Liancheng's breakthrough was blocked, the Lakers' offensive rhythm was forced to change, and the ball carrier changed from Xue Liancheng to George.

But the problem is that George's own condition is really bad, mainly when facing Durant, there is no way to gain an advantage.

The two are both "four small forwards", but there is still a clear gap in strength. One is at the MVP level and the other is at the All-Star level. The difference is really clear at a glance.

And despite how skinny Durant is, in fact, his ability to protect the frame and assist defense is absolutely top-notch.

With George holding the ball, it becomes even more difficult to open the ball.

This resulted in their overall offensive space being constantly eroded, and Randall, Marvin Williams, and Courtney Lee no longer had the opportunity to score easily.

Throughout the third quarter, the two sides entered into a desperate melee rhythm, finally feeling like they were suffocating in the playoffs.

The Lakers scored 22 points and the Warriors only scored 23 points.

At the end of the third quarter, 72:81, the Lakers trailed by 9 points.

If it were normal times, this point difference would be nothing at all.

But the pace of the game today was very slow for both sides. They only scored 20+ points in a whole quarter. It was not easy to tie up the 9-point difference.

As the league's top offensive team, the game between the Warriors and the Lakers was indeed shocking.

After three quarters, one only scored 72 points and the other only scored 81 points, which looked very shabby.

But this is the familiar rhythm of the playoffs.

It's just that the visual impact of the first round series between the two teams was so great that people unconsciously thought that if they couldn't score 110+ points, they were not performing well...

The big showdown in the fourth quarter has arrived.

The commentator was the first to express his opinion: "The Lakers are definitely tenacious enough in this game. It is really not easy to maintain the point difference under such crazy attacks."

Commentator: "Next, the Lakers can only count on Xue Liancheng. If he can't step up, the Lakers will definitely be in danger."

The host joked: "Yes, George was disappointing in the first game. After this game, I feel that his performance in the first game was acceptable."

The commentator echoed: "I feel that his offensive cooperation is not even as good as Oladipo."

Commentator: "So, this is the biggest question. How far the Lakers can go depends on George's performance, and George's two performances really feel a bit weak."

The words just fell. George rushed in and forced a layup, taking the ultimate shot before falling to the ground.

The action looked gorgeous, but it was useless, the ball failed to enter the frame, everything was in vain...

And an important sign of softness is "falling to the ground". It looks very hard when you force the shot, but when you fall to the ground, you look a little embarrassed.

The Warriors protected the rebounds and quickly counterattacked with fast breaks.

But the Lakers are the best at this kind of offensive strategy, so they retreat very quickly and don't give the Warriors a chance at all.

When it comes to positional combat, the Warriors actually have no good solution.

Since Green was injured and unavailable, their passing and cutting tactics have been greatly affected. When the offense is at a deadlock, the Big Three usually take turns to play in singles to see if they can create some opportunities in singles.

And because Curry is in poor condition, the Warriors only have Durant and Thompson to count on for their offense.

Therefore, the offensive status of the Lakers and Warriors can be said to be evenly matched. No one can kill the other at once, but no one is willing to give up. They have entered the most difficult mode.

Time quickly passed to the last two minutes, and the Lakers trailed the Warriors by 90 points, 98:8.

In the next round, the Warriors attack.

Curry, who had not played for a long time, suddenly ran out of the three-point line to catch the ball after going around, and then shot a three-pointer without hesitation.

Never imagined.

It actually went in.

The score is 90:101.

The Warriors finally led by double digits, and the scene was filled with excitement.

The host was so excited that he almost jumped up: "Curry, who had been silent for a whole game, finally woke up and hit an extremely crucial three-pointer. This three-pointer can basically help the Warriors seal the victory. "

Commentator: "This three-pointer is really timely! Let's see if Xue Liancheng can respond..."

But the words have not yet fallen.

Xue Liancheng ran over to borrow a pick-and-roll cover, and suddenly retreated to shoot a three-pointer.

in!
The scene instantly became quiet again.

It felt like being poured cold water on someone who had just started to get excited.

The commentator immediately changed his tune: "It's coming! It's coming! Xue Liancheng is also coming. This is the exciting battle that people have been waiting for."

Narrator: "Is this the rhythm of a fight?"

Look back.

Curry is really awesome.

But, it didn’t hit the mark again.

I missed my tenth three-pointer in this game, and my state is really hard to describe.

For the fans at the scene, this is equivalent to the foreplay just beginning, and everything is over, which is very depressing.

Off-site attack and defense.

Xue Liancheng pushed the ball over and paused slightly this time.

After handing over the ball and running around, there is still little chance to see his teammates.

He can only run outside the three-point line and reach for the ball, and then activate the 100% hit skill to finish.

Another three-pointer.

This time, the scene was completely silent.

The commentator also jumped up, "Two consecutive three-pointers, the familiar Xue Liancheng is back."

Commentator: "It's too strong! It's really too strong. Everyone knows that Xue Liancheng is going to explode next, but no one can hold him down."

The score also reached 96:101, with 1 minute and 21 seconds remaining, and the situation became subtle at this time.

Cole immediately called a timeout to make arrangements.

After I came back, it really worked.

The two superstars Curry and Durant used a pick-and-roll. After a hand-off, Curry helped block the ball, and Durant suddenly took a high step and shot a long two-pointer.

A solid hit!

The Warriors finally stabilized again.

96:103, the Lakers are still 7 points behind.

Lakers offense.

George pushed hard again, but fell to the ground and missed again.

General Joe was really disappointing in this game.

But his teammates were chosen by himself, and Xue Liancheng didn’t want to blame his teammates.

Fortunately, the Warriors' Thompson didn't make a shot either.

But going back and forth consumed a huge amount of time, and with 48 seconds left before the end of the game, Xue Liancheng decided not to wait any longer.

Push it over, suddenly accelerate into the three-point line, then pull back suddenly, raise your hand directly and get a three-pointer.

As soon as he made a move, he knew it was over and quickly activated the 100% hit skill.

hit.

99: 103.

There are still 36 seconds left, and Xue Liancheng's life-saving skills are only available for the last time.

But the point difference is still 4 points.

In this case, we can only rely on God’s will.

But others don't know that Xue Liancheng is so powerless!
The commentator was already shouting hysterically, "Xue, another three-pointer! Oh my God! The omnipotent God has arrived."

Commentator: "So, people think that the Lakers are the biggest opponents of the Golden State Warriors. There is no problem with this conclusion at all, because the Lakers have Xue Liancheng!"

Host: "If the Warriors can't withstand the pressure, it will be really dangerous..."

Everyone was frightened by Xue Liancheng's crazy three-point rain.

Even the Warriors players looked pale.

But Durant is not a vegetarian after all. He used the pick-and-roll to rush in, and then turned around in a cool way.

He stood up lightly and put the basket in for a goal.

105:99, still 6 points difference.

Xue Liancheng, who saw Durant's goal, smiled helplessly.

After all, he was still unable to defeat four hands with two fists.

After using the last 100% skill, he still couldn't turn the tide.

The Lakers ultimately lost this crucial game 102:107.

After the game, Xue Liancheng hid his face helplessly, very frustrated.

The commentator shouted: "Xue really tried his best, but his teammates really didn't do their best!"
