Curry is injured, but as long as he is on the court, the Warriors are a complete championship lineup!
.At this time, the Lakers' decisive lineup is Zhao Chen, Kobe, Covington, Tucker and Jokic.
Without Bogut, Tucker's inside pressure is not great. This is also a lineup that can match the position of the Warriors' death five.
After Boban played for 10 minutes, his routine was figured out. The Warriors would often beat him at this point, and Scott did not dare to continue to reach this level.
The Warriors' offensive and defensive capabilities are very strong, and they meet all the elements of a championship team.
As for the Lakers, their momentum has dropped significantly.
Zhao Chen broke out for a long time, but they still didn't get the lead. This situation itself was very damaging to the momentum.
After arriving in the frontcourt, Curry chewed on his braces and opened his hands to greet Zhao Chen.
Barnes also immediately came over to attack, with Thompson watching eagerly from one side.
At the critical moment, Zhao Chen did not consider playing the ball, but chose to do it himself.
Continuously dribbling to avoid the double attack, Zhao Chen broke the double attack with an underhand dribble and stepped in.
From the high post and mid-range, Zhao Chen collects the ball and drops the rhythm and pulls up domineeringly!
Neither Barnes nor Curry had a chance to pounce on Zhao Chen.
Zhao Chen's jump shot is very high and has a very high release point. After reaching the highest point, he dials the ball and releases it!
The basketball draws a wonderful arc.
Green rushed over. Green's movement was very big. He couldn't block this ball. He was obviously coming for Zhao Chen.
Zhao Chen immediately spread his legs apart, making another protective move.
When Green saw Zhao Chen kicking his legs, he immediately moved away.
If he went up to meet him, he would be cut off from his descendants.
Zhao Chen perfectly transferred CBA Marbury's upper-leg spirit back to the NBA.
"Uh-huh!"
112 to 114.
Zhao Chen did not force a three-pointer, there was still time, and what he needed to ensure was his offensive efficiency.
"Zhao, your actions are too dirty, I know what you want to do!" Green shouted at Zhao Chen.
"You don't know what you are going to do? Are you afraid too? Come on, you coward!" Zhao Chen shouted back at Green.
"You will regret your actions." Green was filled with hatred, but there was nothing he could do against Zhao Chen.
When Zhao Chen attacked, he basically took all kinds of precautions.
Even if Green wants to intentionally hurt someone with this kind of defense, he may not be able to hurt him.
Seeing Green and Zhao Chen quarreling again, the referee decisively came over and warned the two again.
The fans at Oracle Center booed!
Warriors fans really wanted to expel Zhao Chen, but the referee really wouldn't do that.
"Zhao, your style of play is very shameless." Green's wife shouted at Zhao Chen.
As a wife, she naturally knew what Zhao Chen's actions meant.
Zhao Chen doesn't have the same experience as women.
Zhao Chen will not intentionally hurt his opponent, but he will not be maliciously hurt either.
Warriors attack.
Green advanced with the ball.
Green is responsible for the core organizational role in this lineup.
Green is also very clear-headed. He will not easily be filled with emotions and attack on his own.
Zhao Chen did not guard Curry this time, but asked Kobe to deal with it, while Zhao Chen guarded Green who was dribbling.
Green often helps Curry cover, and Zhao Chen will complete the defense the first moment Curry uses the screen.
"You come to attack, you loser!" Zhao Chen shouted at Green.
Green was unmoved, he knew that Zhao Chen was eager to let him attack.
Green motioned for Curry to run out.
Curry came out to receive Green's hand-to-hand pass, and then prepared to use Green's screen to continue pulling out!
But Zhao Chen's defense was in place. After Curry jumped up, he found that he had not completely gotten rid of Zhao Chen.
Curry had to throw the ball to Iguodala in the air.
Iguodala drove to the basket, attracted Jokic's defense, and then gave the ball to Thompson on the cut.
Thompson's movement without the ball is top-notch. He got rid of Covington and easily scored the ball! !
112 to 116.
This scene is also a microcosm of the beginning of the fourth quarter. Every time the Lakers rely on Zhao Chen's personal ability to score a goal, the Warriors immediately rely on various teamwork to score the ball.
The characteristics of both teams were demonstrated in this game.
Zhao Chen’s individual singles, the Warriors’ overall tactics!
After Thompson scored from an air cut, Jokic also hit the ball hard on the floor. It was a pity to defend this ball.
Zhao Chen dribbled the ball and advanced to the frontcourt.
As time goes by, the Lakers are in an increasingly dangerous situation.
The Lakers can't have any chance to make mistakes.
Zhao Chen passed the ball to Jokic in a double attack, and then led the defensive player to the corner on the right.
Jokic passed the ball to Zhao Chen, who leaned against Barnes with his back and made continuous probing steps. Thompson wanted to flank him, but Covington's inward cut scared him back.
"Defend!"
"Defend!"
"Defend!"
The fans at the Oracle Center Arena kept shouting, they hoped that the team could guard Zhao Chen and eventually win the game!
Zhao Chen is the only player they are afraid of.
After Zhao Chen took a test step with his back turned, he chose to turn around and hold the ball in front of the frame.
Barnes didn't dare to be careless and immediately grabbed Zhao Chen's waist and tried to restrain Zhao Chen.
Zhao Chen released the ball to dribble. Zhao Chen first pretended to dribble outside the three-point line, and Barnes immediately pressed forward.
Barnes' defense was too forward. Zhao Chen quickly leaned on Barnes and used his torso as the axis to complete the pass.
Thompson didn't hesitate now and rushed over immediately.
After Zhao Chen fought against Thompson, he directly challenged Green with a high ball! !
Green was instantly passed by Zhao Chen's high ball.
"Snapped!"
Green waved his hand from behind and hit Zhao Chen hard on the arm!
Zhao Chen threw the ball when he lost body control.
The basketball bounced on the rim twice before finally falling in!
"Beep!!" The referee blew the whistle to signal Green's foul.
Andewan!
114 to 116.
Zhao Chen scored this goal and got an extra penalty!
Zhao Chen gasped and touched his arm.
Green's attacks are so dark and hard to guard against.
The guy Green was still shaking his head in frustration. He regretted not using more force, so that Zhao Chen didn't even have a chance to get two plus one.
Zhao Chen didn't say anything, but stood on the free throw line with the ball.
"Uh-huh!"
Zhao Chen stably put the ball in despite the abuse and boos.
115 to 116.
The time has entered less than one minute.
Curry dribbles to the frontcourt.
Curry felt bursts of pain in his ankle, which made Curry frown.
The Lakers' defense was very intense in the final moments, and Kobe kept confronting Curry physically.
Curry did not dare to shoot the ball easily at the last moment. If a mistake was made, it would be fatal.
In a high-intensity duel, the physical fitness of the two teams has now reached its limit.
Green set up another screen for Curry, and Zhao Chen continued to attack Curry.
Curry's weakness is that if he can't get open on key balls, it will be difficult for him to hit hard.
Curry had no chance and immediately hit the ball to the downhill Green.
Green attacked the basket, and Jokic raised his hands to help defend.
"Bang!"
There was a physical confrontation between Jokic and Green, and Green was at a disadvantage!
Green lost his balance, but when everyone thought the ball was going to be successfully defended, the referee blew the whistle.
"Beep!"
"Blocking foul, two free throws."
OMG!
This whistle was critical. Jokic held his head in disbelief.
Scott walked over to the referee: "He didn't press his hands down. This was a clean defensive move!"
Zhao Chen also walked towards the referee: "This ball is not a foul, you made a mistake."
The referee sounded like he was blowing a T when he heard Zhao Chen's question, but he held back, and he also knew that he might have made a wrong decision.
But the penalty cannot be changed
Green stood on the free throw line with a smile!
The first penalty, no goal!
The second penalty was scored!
115 to 117.
35 seconds! !
It’s a decisive battle!
