There are no miracles!
The miracle that Lakers fans expected in this game did not happen!
Every goal scored by the Warriors in this game is full of murderous flavor!
Klay Thompson stopped, Stephen Curry started again!
Lakers players are so tired!
A few minutes ago, even if Curry was playing small and big against Antetokounmpo, Antetokounmpo would still be able to post it, without giving 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 shooter in NBA history!
97 to 96!
There are 3 minutes and 30 seconds left in the game. The game has been played until this point in time before the Warriors overtook the score. The Lakers' performance is already very great.
Every player on the Lakers court has tried their best.
"Every player on the court in this game is a hero!"
Curry is roaring!
The Warriors fans at the scene are going crazy!
The magician at the scene came to his senses after being in a trance for a while and began to applaud.
Applaud the Lakers players.
Applaud the Warriors players.
Even more applause for this game.
Not just Magic, but soon Jerry West, other Lakers stars, Warriors stars, Lakers management, Warriors management.
Even, slowly, those crazy Warriors fans and secretly sad Lakers fans slowly joined this team.
"Incredible!"
Seeing the applause erupting from the audience, the audience in front of the TV, the on-site commentators, experts, and reporters were all stunned.
In the NBA, there has never been a saying that competition comes second and friendship comes first. Although this is a business league, victory always comes first.
Any black spots can be washed away in the face of victory. There is no right or wrong here, there is no right or wrong here, there are only wins and losses, there are only winners and losers.
Especially before Coach D entered the NBA, the NBA was a place full of right and wrong.
No one will believe that such applause is the applause that transcends victory and defeat.
Especially for NBA professionals like O'Neal, they are even more disbelieving.
"They are not applauding for victory or defeat, they are applauding for themselves!"
"This game may have a winner and a loser in the end, but for fans and spectators, when they witness such a game, they are all winners!"
"Everyone here, every viewer in front of the TV, witnessed the greatest Western Conference Finals in NBA history tonight!"
"Whether this game is played five years from now, ten years from now, or a hundred years from now, as long as the NBA still exists, this game will be legendary!"
"So, this kind of applause is the most glorious applause for the winner, and the cruelest encouragement for the loser!"
O'Neal didn't know who the source of the applause was or what his purpose was.
However, most likely I didn’t think that much, and most likely I admired it from the bottom of my heart.
Even if it is him, he was full of dark opinions before this game started, isn't he convinced by this game now?
"If the Lakers request a timeout at this time, then the applause will be louder, and the Lakers will receive more encouragement, encouraging them to be honored even if they lose. It is not common for losers in the NBA to enjoy applause, not to mention It was a standing ovation of this magnitude.”
After Curry hit such an incredible three-pointer.
In fact, most people think that Popovich and the Lakers should have requested a timeout, even to take a rest.
It seems that the Lakers are much 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 beaten by his disciples because of the unfavorable situation on the court. He must restore the situation before calling a timeout.
Therefore, this applause at the end of the game may be very disappointing for the Lakers, but for the Lakers at this moment, it is a step-down applause.
Everyone will only pay attention to the applause and the excitement of the game, and will not care that Popovich was beaten by Cole and eventually lost a 10-point lead.
However, just when O'Neal and Kenny Smith felt that the Lakers were finally going to take a timeout...
Popovich on the sidelines clapped his hands and then made a gesture to continue attacking!
Popovich's gesture even stunned Kobe and the others next to him.
Just now, Klay Thompson's touch was so good that he didn't call a timeout to interrupt.
Now Curry's touch is coming again, so don't call it a timeout.
"Bobo..."
"The Warriors can still play without three-pointers. If we don't have this breath, we won't be able to continue to persevere."
After Popovich finished speaking, Kobe, Tracy McGrady, Yao Ming and others next to him instantly understood.
A person who has reached his physical limit may never be able to move again after he stops.
A person who is deep in the ice and snow may never get up again after falling asleep.
Although Popovich was defeated by Cole in terms of tactical system in this game.
However, the Lakers have been able to persist in such an extremely unfavorable game until now. Popovich's judgment of the game and control of the game situation definitely deserve the greatest credit.
Although he does not have Coach D's eyes that can see through time and the future, he does have the sharpest insightful eyes in the NBA besides Coach D.
Popovich's decision not to call a timeout soon paid off.
The Lakers attacked, and at the last moment, the basketball once again hit Westbrook's hands.
Westbrook attacked Curry. This time, Yi Jianlian and Dream Chasing paid attention to Antetokounmpo and Ebanks' rebounds.
It's impossible for players like them to fall into the same ditch twice.
Therefore, Antetokounmpo and Ebanks were stuck outside the basket.
And McAway faced a situation where there were people under the basket. Although he threw the basketball very high after rushing past Curry, with McAway's shooting ability and feel, this kind of high-throwing throw was basically Impossible to hit.
Therefore, neither Yi Jianlian nor Chai Meng were surprised when they heard McAway's throw and strike.
Even Curry, who was rushed by McAway, breathed a sigh of relief and prepared for a fast break.
When Curry turned around, he was already preparing for McAway to chase him back.
but!
What shocked Curry!
The moment he turned around!
From the corner of his eye, he saw McAway standing up again like a spring man!
This kind of sudden stop and jump after throwing is not a question of whether it will hurt the knees.
This style of play itself is full of shock!
It reminds people of the Thunder's super turtle almost subconsciously!
Yi Jianlian and Chai Meng, who were looking at Antetokounmpo and Ibanks at this time, never thought that McAway would be so crazy.
By the time they reacted and were about to get stuck in the middle, it was already too late. McAway's bullet speed was too fast!
And he jumped too high!
In fact, even if Curry does not prepare for a fast break, but instead detours in front of McAway, people will doubt that Curry will be flown directly by McAway!
In the end, Chai Meng could only make up for it by stepping forward and taking a step forward!
At the same time!
Bang!
McAway rode on Dream Chaser and completed this dunk that shocked the world!
McAway's dunk even wiped out the applause from the audience!
97 to 98!
The Lakers once again took the lead by 1 point!
Come off the rim.
McAway escaped the pursuit of his teammates and rushed to the Warriors fans area on the sidelines, shouting as loudly as Curry who had just hit a three-pointer.
"We don't need applause!"
"We don't need sympathy!"
"We just want to win!"
"At the end of the game, I will hear the most beautiful boos in the world!"
OMG! ! !
McAway's operation shocked the entire Oracle Arena.
Including the magician who brought applause.
Magic really felt that the performance of the Lakers players in this game was so great. He actually didn't have much other ideas.
I didn’t expect that!
"These boys!"
"We have the greatest group of young people in the NBA!"
"This is the new Lakers culture created by Coach D for us!"
"This is why we can wash away the shame of the past 40 years!"
“It’s incredible, our team is incredible!!!”
Although they were humiliated, after a moment, Magic, Baylor, and the famous Lakers present were all pleasantly surprised.
"As long as they don't feel the game is over, then the game isn't over yet!!!"
Lakers stars and fans are moved.
The Warriors fans at the scene booed.
After the game is over, there is no need to end the game at all.
Now, we’ll let you hear what the best boos are!
The Warriors attack.
The Lakers' defense is still extremely tight.
Confrontation, pursuit, delay, but it can be seen with the naked eye that the Lakers players' footsteps are not moving so quickly.
Even, in order to pursue Curry and Klay Thompson, even Iguodala, who must not be released before, was slightly released!
Iguodala is revealed!
Iguodala, who had hit countless key shots in this game, was actually exposed at the last moment!
no way!
There is really no way around this!
On the sidelines, Popovich gritted his teeth and chose to believe, and also chose to understand the decisions of the Lakers players on the court.
He won't blame them, he will just applaud the Lakers players on the court for their decisiveness.
Yi, Klay Thompson and Curry, these three people are too difficult to guard!
With 2 minutes and 36 seconds left in the game, Iguodala received a pass from Dream Green, got an opportunity from outside the three-point line, and took a decisive shot.
Pierce, who jumped to block him, actually caused more interference than substance.
but!
Bang!
Blacksmithing!
Iguodala's key three-pointer actually hit the mark! ! !
This surprised Popovich on the sidelines.
"The physical fitness of the Warriors players has reached its limit!!!!"
Iguodala is obviously at his physical limit!
He will be just Iguodala, not a god!
McAway picked up the backcourt rebound and directly pushed for a fast break.
The most energetic player on both sides of the court now is McAway!
"If the Lakers can win this game, then McAway, who has shot 7 of 21 in this game so far, is definitely the biggest contributor!!!"
"The winning and losing shooting percentage of a game is very important, but a player's performance must not just be based on the shooting percentage!"
Mcaway dribbled the ball quickly across half court. Facing Iguodala in front of him, he didn't wait for his teammates to get into position, and took a step directly from the three-point line!
McAway, fast break three-pointer? !
Iguodala was dumbfounded!
However, Warriors head coach Kerr broke into a cold sweat on the sidelines.
"careful!!!"
Cole's reminder from the sidelines was already too late. After McAway's forward-leaning three-pointer was extremely non-standard in shooting posture, as soon as he landed, he rushed directly into the three-point line and towards the basket.
Curry celebrated in advance after shooting a three-pointer just now!
And McAway...
"Oh my God! McAway just grabbed the offensive rebound after shooting the three-pointer!!!"
"Is McAway resigned to his shooting?!!!"
McAway is betting.
He knew that even if he passed Iguodala, with his height, the possibility of a successful layup under Iguodala's pursuit was not very high. It should be said that there was no possibility.
but!
What if I have one more hand?
What about one more hand that no one can think of?
If you can hit the three-pointer, you will definitely make a lot of money. If you can't hit the three-pointer, you will make a lot of money if you grab the offensive rebound and dunk directly under the basket!
This is much better than waiting for teammates to get into position to attack in a position that is destined to be difficult!
This is also the reason why he did not slow down the rhythm when the team was 1 point ahead 98 to 97.
If this operation succeeds, it means the Turtle is invincible; if it fails, it means it is a cancer!
"Coach, I finally understand why you say your favorite player is Westbrook!"
McAway has always wanted to be Coach D's best and favorite player.
Since there is a ready-made template, how could he not learn it!
Although I didn’t know why the coach would say that he likes Westbrook’s duality player the most.
But he has been studying hard, but he just can't use it in the game.
Because there are too many solutions to problems in the Lakers team, there is no need for him to play Westbrook's suicidal offense in the team.
Now!
That's when the team needs him to do this!
"The whole world says you are a cancer, but only the coach sees it. Everything you do is for the team!
The whole world says that you are the most selfish player, but only the coach can see that you are the most selfless player who has shouldered everything! "
“Now, I’m also carrying everything!!!”
McAway stepped on the three-point line and jumped up!
The boos from the audience just now were silenced by McAwee's beating at this moment!
Looking at the Lakers guard flying in the air at this time, Westbrook, who had just been disdainful of imitating himself in front of the TV, suddenly stood up!
He could see that this was no longer an imitation!
This is simply who he is! ! !
Exactly the same! ! !
Westbrook's eyes twinkled.
"Catch it, he was in the air and caught the rebound!"
"Iguodala is powerless!"
"No one can stop him now!"
"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!!!!"
At this moment, what Westbrook sees is not McAway, but himself wearing a Thunder jersey, changing his life for the Thunder, for Durant, and for his brothers!
Dreams are beautiful!
but!
There was a snap!
When Westbrook woke up from his dream, the scene in front of him had changed!
In the air, Yi Jianlian, who was rushing up from behind, slapped McAway, who was dunking, and knocked the basketball out of the baseline!
McAway's hand passed Iguodala.
It also created the possibility of time for Yi Jianlian to pursue the case.
Just a little bit...
Why?
Why is it always just a little bit off?
Westbrook sat down on the sofa slumped.
At this time, the Oracle Center was boiling again!
When Yi Jianlian flew out of the court and was pulled up by his teammates, the whole audience was filled with MVP applause!
"Incredible offense, incredible defense, not just this game, every possession of this game is legendary!!!!"
O'Neal has stood up!
At this time everyone stood up!
The game continues.
The Lakers serve a baseline kick.
The Lakers reorganized their offense.
With 2 minutes and 06 seconds left in the game, the Lakers got the ball into Wade's hands at the last moment, and Wade failed to make a strong mid-range shot.
At this time, the score is still 97 to 98, and the Lakers lead by 1 point.
"Wade's mid-range shot once again proves the correctness of McAway's choice just now!"
The Lakers' offense had better not fall behind now. No one on the Lakers court can score against the Warriors' defense!
It may be possible to be lucky, but Coach D is famous for being the unluckiest person, and the Lakers are also famous for being the unluckiest team!
Wade's rebound fell into Yi Jianlian's hands. If it had been five minutes ago, Lakers fans would have collapsed.
The Warriors' fast break is going crazy again.
But this time, the Warriors didn't go crazy!
"Yi Jianlian's defense just now took a huge toll on him!!!"
"The space suit has now reached its physical limit!!!"
"After the Lakers players took the lead in reaching their physical limits, the Warriors players also reached their physical limits one by one!!!"
The Warriors fell into a positional battle, and the Lakers were not so afraid.
With 1 minute and 42 seconds left in the game, Iguodala once again got a shooting opportunity.
This time Iguodala was not so confident in his three-pointer and chose to take a step into the three-point line, but this move gave Pierce room to block the shot.
Iguodala's shot was blocked directly by Pierce!
Warriors, 24 seconds, turnover!
At this time, there are 1 minute and 42 seconds left in the game, and the Warriors are still 1 point behind 97 to 98!
The Lakers didn't wait for a miracle!
but!
"The Lakers have seen that man can win!!!"
"Man can conquer nature! This is the philosophy that Coach D's Lakers have always practiced!"
"Every victory that Coach D and this Lakers have is not due to God's charity. In fact, it is all obtained by defeating God!"
"They never believe in luck or fate!"
"They are the bravest group of people in the NBA!!!"
The Warriors took the lead at 3 minutes and 30 seconds.
But with 1 minute and 19 seconds left in the game, Wade struck again. Wade struck outside the three-point line. The Lakers actually led by 1 point, 98 to 97!
With 1 minute and 01 seconds left in the game, Curry hit the ball from beyond the three-point line.
With 39 seconds left in the game, Westbrook's breakthrough was intercepted by Iguodala and made a mistake.
At this time, the arena was completely heated up, and the excitement was so intense that it was completely suffocating.
"Can the Lakers really win this game?!"
At this time, Du Kang was running crazily!
Is there enough time?
And right now!
"The Warriors request a timeout!"
