Chapter 288 Breaking the record?
Wharton has been observing Su Tian's state. When something went wrong on Su Tian's side, Wharton called a timeout in time.

At this time, half of the third quarter has passed, and the Warriors have already led the Lakers by 8 points, and there is a tendency to continue to widen the gap.

Taking advantage of the pause, Su Tian sat on the bench panting heavily, and there was a data recorder beside him explaining his data to Su Tian.

“苏，目前为止你的数据是，51分4助攻7篮板2抢断。距离乔丹的季后赛单场得分记录63分还有12分。”

But at this moment, Su Tian couldn't hear what the recorder was saying clearly, he just kept panting heavily, watching the beads of sweat fall drop by drop.

"Su, you can't play anymore, you need to rest, otherwise your body will have problems, don't worry, leave the next few minutes to your teammates, trust them."

Su Tian recognized that it was the voice of head coach Wharton, but Su Tian didn't raise his head, but just nodded slightly.

Seeing Su Tian's exhaustion, the other teammates also took a deep breath, especially Ingram and Randall.

Randall had chatted with Su Tian before, and he would leave after the end of this season, but Randall didn't want to just leave in such a disgruntled manner.

Ingram has always admired Su Tian, ​​and at the same time thinks highly of himself. Now that the team is in crisis, he can't do his best. This feeling makes Ingram feel ashamed.

The timeout ends quickly and the game continues.

When the two sides played again, both sides had already made substitution adjustments.

On the Lakers side, Su Tian really couldn't hold on anymore, while on the Warriors side, they were letting the main players accumulate energy to deal with Su Tian in the fourth quarter.

"Even if he was so tired, Cole didn't underestimate Su in the fourth quarter." Barkley couldn't help sighing.

After the two sides played again, Ingram and Randall were highly motivated, and the two frequently cooperated to play some wonderful performances.

On the Warriors' side, there are Livingston and Iguodala in the bottom line. Although they are a substitute lineup, they are comparable to the Lakers' semi-main lineup.

Soon, the third quarter ended and the score came to 80-88. Ingram and Randall were so tired that they managed to barely live with the 8-point difference.

During the break between festivals, Wharton looked at Su Tian who had almost slowed down, and said, "Su, how do you feel, are you going to play directly in the fourth quarter?"

Su Tian felt the remaining physical strength in his body, pulled himself together and said, "No problem, you can play."

Wharton nodded when he heard it, then picked up the tactical board and began to arrange tactics for the fourth quarter.

The tactics of the Lakers in the fourth quarter have always been simple, that is, give the ball to Su Tian, ​​and the others try to create a good offensive environment for Su Tian.

At the same time, the Warriors' bench is not idle.

"Su Tian's physical strength has been exhausted, and it's unknown whether he can display his previous fighting strength in the fourth quarter, but we still can't take it lightly. We must show all our strength at the beginning of the fourth quarter. This time we not only want to win, but also want a big victory!"

Cole had high expectations for this game. In order to study Su Tian thoroughly, Cole didn't sleep well for several days.

Intersection ends and the fourth quarter begins.

"Okay, now that the fourth quarter is starting, we see that both sides have taken the full main lineup again, and the Lakers have also taken their fifth team, but I am still more optimistic about the cooperation of the Warriors." Kenny Smith explained.

The first ball in the fourth quarter was given to the Lakers. Ball advanced to the frontcourt with the ball and passed the ball directly to Su Tian.

Su Tian got the ball and felt the recovery of the "King of the Last Quarters", but this time Su Tian consumed too much in the first three quarters, and he didn't recover to the peak as before, but almost recovered to [-]%.

"Is it [-]% physical strength? It's enough."

After getting the ball, Su Tian didn't rush to attack, first signaled to everyone to pull away, and then began to cross dribble to mobilize Iguodala to the defensive center of gravity.

Just as the two teams were confronting each other, Su Tian suddenly broke through.

Su Tian's breakthrough was too sudden, and Iguodala was a bit slower, and quickly chased after him.

The two came to the penalty area all the way, and Iguodala finally caught up with Su Tian, ​​but immediately after Su Tian made an emergency stop followed by a retreat step, he shot directly.

Swah——

After Su Tian stepped back, there was a lot of room to open up. Before Iguodala changed his center of gravity, Su Tian had already shot.

82-88
Although the two-point hit did not quench his thirst, it was the first step after all.

At this time, Cole folded his arms and stood on the sidelines, staring at Su Tian tightly.

"I expected it a long time ago, you in the fourth quarter are not so simple."

Cole studied a lot of videos about Su Tian, ​​and Cole found that no matter how mediocre Su Tian was in the first three quarters, he could always explode beyond his usual level in the fourth quarter.

Not only that, but even the physical strength will be restored a lot, but Cole has not researched the specific reason, and can only attribute these to mental attributes.

Although I don't know why, Cole can make some targeted arrangements for this.

After Su Tian made a two-pointer, Curry turned around and returned a three-pointer directly.

The ball was given to the Lakers again. This time, Su Tian held the ball and advanced to the frontcourt. It was still the same as the previous round, and his teammates opened up his singles.

But this time after Su Tian broke in, the Warriors double-teamed for the first time in the game.

After Su Tian broke through Iguodala, he took the ball and went straight to the basket. Green, who was ready to go, let go of Randall and came towards Su Tian.

Green and Iguodala directly double-teamed Su Tian!
"Two-team! The Warriors are double-teaming!" Seeing the Warriors start to double-team Su Tian, ​​Barkley couldn't help saying loudly.

This was the first time the Warriors double-teamed in this game. Su Tian was also a little caught off guard by the Warriors' double-team, but he still reacted before the double-team formed and barely passed the ball to Randall in the bottom corner.

This is also the first time Randall has received such a bad pass from Su Tian since Su Tian came to the Lakers.

So after Randall got the ball, he adjusted a little and made a shot.

boom--

Randall still missed and missed an open shot.

Seeing the basketball hit the iron, Green didn't rush to grab the rebound, but first blocked Su Tian and prevented Su Tian from jumping.

Green's approach is very smart. Su Tian's ability to grab rebounds is clear to Green. He is already the best rebounder in the Lakers present. As long as Su Tian is not allowed to grab the rebound, the ball will probably belong to the Warriors.

Sure enough, Green's judgment was correct. The rebound was taken by Durant, who was the highest on the scene, and he passed the ball directly to Curry. Curry ran forward with the ball and launched a fast break.

Curry is fast, but Ball's retreat is not slow, and he followed up in time. Just when Ball thought he was going to defend successfully, Curry suddenly passed the ball to Durant who was following behind.

Durant caught the ball and dunked directly with both hands.

82-93
The Warriors scored 5 points in a row at the beginning of the fourth quarter and successfully played a defensive counterattack. The Staples scene was silent.

At this time, the morale of the Lakers was severely hit. Walton thought about it and called a timeout. After all, the timeout will not be kept until the next game.

The Lakers came to the bench, and Walton pretended to encourage everyone and cheered the players on.

After a timeout, the morale of the Lakers recovered a lot, but the actual problem was not solved much.

Before going on stage, Wharton still grabbed Su Tian and said, "Su, I completely trust you and do what you think you should do."

Su Tian nodded, looking at the Warriors' bench with firmer eyes.

The ball still belongs to the Lakers. Su Tian took the ball to the frontcourt. This time, Su Tian didn't play singles, but called Ball for a pick-and-roll.

Su Tian wanted to see if the Warriors had really changed their defensive strategy and were going to double-team him again.

Soon Ball came over and made a pick-and-roll cooperation, and Su Tian pretended to use the pick-and-roll to break through.

But the Warriors did not double-team as they imagined, but quickly switched defenses.

Seeing this scene, Su Tian was a little puzzled, but he didn't have time to think about it. At least the matchup with Curry now is an opportunity.

So Su Tian broke out again and directly broke through Curry's defense line, holding the ball and preparing to go to the basket.

But just when Su Tian was about to collect the ball for a layup, the Warriors changed again. Green let go of Randall again and came towards Su Tian to double-team.

Seeing Green's double-teaming again, Su Tian didn't have time to think about it, and before Green's double-teaming arrived, he directly threw the shot.

bang - swish -

The basketball hits the backboard and bounces into the net.

The Warriors failed to double-team.

84-93
Although Su Tian scored the goal, Su Tian's doubts were still not resolved.

"What the hell are the Warriors trying to do?"

The Warriors' defense gave Su Tian the feeling that he was wandering between double-teaming and not double-teaming, both double-teaming and not double-teaming.

The only thing in common is that the people who stepped forward to double-team were all Green, and they were all when they were about to make a shot.

"Green, shoot, double-team,"

"I see."

Su Tian went through the information in his mind, and he figured it out in a blink of an eye.

Cole knew that he would increase the proportion of his shots in the fourth quarter, so he deliberately arranged for Green to double-team himself when he shot.

This kind of judgment on the moment of double-teaming is not simple, but Green's defensive judgment ability, which is currently at its peak, is good enough for this job.

"It's not easy to fight now."

Su Tian guessed the Warriors' defensive strategy, but the game was still difficult to play because the Lakers' fundamental problems had not been resolved.

In the next few rounds, Su Tian continued to increase the proportion of his shots regardless. Unless his teammates had a particularly good opportunity, Su Tian would not pass the ball.

Halfway through the fourth quarter, Kerr called a timeout.

At this time, Su Tian's personal score has reached 61 points, only two points away from breaking Jordan's record, but Su Tian is not happy, because the Lakers are still 8 points behind the Warriors at this time.

"The point difference is 8 points, and the time is only 5 minutes. Guys, put all your passion into this game! Victory will eventually belong to Los Angeles!"

Wharton is still actively encouraging the fighting spirit of the players, because Wharton has no better way tactically.

At this time, Su Tian's physical strength was less than 6%, but the team's momentum of chasing points was getting weaker and weaker.

At this time, Harden, who was watching the Huyong battle, was also observing Su Tian's state. He knew that Su Tian was almost at his limit.

"The Lakers have also fallen into the trap of the Warriors after all. You can't beat the Warriors alone."

The timeout ended quickly, and the two sides played again.

After playing again, Su Tian discovered that the Warriors actually made a substitution adjustment, taking Curry down and replacing him with Livingston.

Su Tian frowned. At such a critical moment, the Warriors actually took Curry?

Does this look down on the Lakers?Think the Lakers can't catch up?Or just let Curry recover his strength?
Su Tian didn't have time to think too much, so he devoted himself to the game when he returned to the court.

Livingston advanced to the frontcourt with the ball and passed the ball directly to Durant. Durant received the ball and faced Ingram.

Swah——

Durant made a steady mid-range shot.

At this time, the point difference came to 10 points, but at this time, no audience paid attention to the point difference, because at this time Barkley was shouting passionately in the commentary booth.

"Friends in the audience! Su has already scored 61 points, and there are only 2 points left to tie Michael Jordan's record! And with so much time, Su Tian has no problem breaking Jordan's record!"

"Come on, everyone is optimistic about Su's next move. The next move is likely to be a record-breaking goal! It is also very likely to be the photo on the headlines tomorrow!"

"Okay, Su made a breakthrough with the ball! Iguodala seemed to be air! Su came to the inside and made a layup!"

"No, he didn't make a shot, Su passed the ball!"

"Very good, Randall received a pass from Su and scored a three-pointer, which did not disappoint Su's wonderful pass, but it's a pity, Su should have played this ball himself!"

"Obviously it's about to break through, but Su just dawdled and didn't score this goal. This may be the reason why Su is single until now."

Barkley's passionate commentary ended anticlimactically, which made the audience in front of the TV feel very uncomfortable.

But there is no way, the initiative is in Su Tian's hands, and Su Tian will only fight if he wants to.

At this time on the court, the Lakers returned a three-pointer, and the point difference came to 7 points, but the Warriors' offense was not over yet.

Livingston pushed forward again with the ball, this time first passing the ball to Green, and then Livingston took Ball to the low post, Green followed by passing the ball in.

After Livingston got the ball, he directly started hitting Ball with his back.

Ball has indeed improved this season, but facing a veteran like Livingston, he still has more than enough energy.

After consecutive post-ups, Livingston turned over and shot a jumper.

bang - swish -

The basketball bumped against the rim and fell into the net.

Veteran Livingston successfully scored this goal, and the point difference returned to 9 points.

In the transfer of the ball, Su Tian still holds the ball and advances to the frontcourt. Facing Iguodala's defense, he calls Ball for a pick-and-roll, and uses the pick-and-roll to make a breakthrough.

Seeing Su Tian break through again, Barkley became excited again.

"That's it for once man! Stop dawdling!"
