After Steve Kerr saw Zhao Chen score the goal, there was a trace of panic on his face.
He never imagined that the Warriors' first two home games would be so difficult.
After losing the first game, there is a risk of not being able to save this one.
Facing Zhao Chen, all the tactics he deployed felt powerless.
Cole saw the shadow of Jordan in Zhao Chen, which was an invincible aura that could score when he got the ball at critical moments.
It's so similar, so similar.
However, Cole still showed his strength as the best coach. Cole encouraged the players: "Don't panic. Play the overtime in the normal way. This is our home court. We have the physical advantage. They are tired. They There’s not much chance left.”
"Increase the frequency of outside attacks and don't be intimidated by their defense."
"OK!"
"no problem!"
The mental quality of the Warriors is much greater than Kerr imagined.
The Lakers didn't make them feel desperate, they just felt that Zhao Chen was in trouble.
Lakers bench.
Scott was irritated.
Zhao Chen had problems with his physical fitness.
You can tell from Zhao Chen's breathing that Zhao Chen is very tired.
Zhao Chen was a little overwhelmed after encountering such crazy confrontations for two consecutive nights.
"Zhao, can you still persist?" Scott asked.
"No problem, I can." Zhao Chen nodded.
The game has already reached overtime, and it is even more impossible for Zhao Chen to sit down.
Zhao Chen also knows his own role. Without him on the court, the Lakers would be no different from surrendering.
Kobe might be able to hold on for a while, but not for long.
"Well, OK, you can't force yourself. Be careful not to get injured. This is a series and our goal has been achieved."
"No need to say anything depressing, we will win." Kobe said firmly from the side.
Overtime began quickly.
In the playoffs, teams that are close in strength are prone to overtime.
The Lakers and Warriors seem to be very close in strength.
Jumping the ball again, Green beat Jokic.
Jokic has almost lost to 29 other teams on jump balls.
"I'm a little curious. Scott knew that Jokic would lose if he jumped the ball, so why didn't he let Boban go up and jump the ball?" Coach Xu asked.
"Boban's speed is too slow. It is estimated that the Warriors will counterattack as soon as they see him. The Lakers will not be able to stand it. Overtime is not a regular time. Every round is important." Director Zhang said.
"Rookie, jump as hard as you can. If you get higher, you will win! Hahaha, you silly guy."
Green talked trash at Jokic on the court, but Jokic ignored him.
Labor and management have lost a lot of jump balls.
Which onion are you?
Curry dribbled the ball forward, and Kobe went up to guard.
Zhao Chen was with Thompson next to him. Whether it was Curry or Thompson, it was difficult to fight against Zhao Chen.
Green put on the screen and Curry got rid of Kobe.
Curry dived in like a swimming fish.
Curry's changes of direction have decreased, but that doesn't mean his lethality has decreased.
Curry's second acceleration got past Jokic, and then he flew up for a layup and hit the board.
The rebound goes in!
110 to 112.
Curry's touch is incredible.
"Steph——Curry!" the DJ at Oracle Center shouted crazily.
Curry did not play outside the way Cole did, but found the gap inside the Lakers and got into it.
Zhao Chen's eyes changed when he looked at Curry.
Curry looks seriously injured, but he can still do these moves.
Zhao Chen was also surprised.
Lakers offense.
Kobe dribbles forward.
Kobe didn't dare to be careless at all, and passed the ball to Zhao Chen after passing the frontcourt.
Zhao Chen kept passing the ball to Jokic.
The Warriors are playing superstar ball, and the Lakers are starting to pass the ball.
Jokic organizes the movement and connection of all Lakers members.
Of course, in the end, the ball returned to Zhao Chen, who hit Iguodala out of position.
Iguodala is called a mini version of LeBron. In addition to looking similar, he also has the same top-notch physical fitness and comprehensive style of play. Another similarity between Iguodala and James is passing. Iguodala is third. The first thing that's very similar to James is defense. But Iguodala can't become James because he is not a real scorer!
Zhao Chen singled out Iguodala, and after shaking continuously, he chose to step back and shoot a three-pointer!
Iguodala was not shaken away by Zhao Chen, but only gave Zhao Chen a little space to take action, but this was enough for Zhao Chen.
only!
"frame!"
The ball hit the front frame. Because his physical energy was nearly exhausted, his skills could no longer be used. Zhao Chen's touch was slightly worse. If he was in an intermediate state, he would have scored.
The rebound was won by Green!
"The Lakers didn't score on their first possession, which is not a good sign for the Lakers."
"No way, Zhao Chen is too tired. Most of the Lakers' scoring and organization revolve around him. As long as he is on the court, he has to pass the ball. Facing such high-intensity games continuously in less than 48 hours, Zhao Chen Even if Chen is an iron man, he will still be tired."
Everyone can see that the Lakers' situation is not good and Zhao Chen is tired.
At this time, someone else needs to step forward to help Zhao Chen.
Warriors attack.
Curry continued to dribble from the outside, passed Kobe with a bow, and then gave the ball to Iguodala, who was cutting through the air. Iguodala made an air cut and dunked.
110 to 114.
Lakers offense.
Zhao Chen broke through Green one-on-one, then turned around and passed Iguodala, and took off through Thompson to dunk! !
"frame!"
Zhao Chen's dunk missed!
Zhao Chen's take-off height was slightly lower!
The Lakers situation is not good! !
Facts have proved that playing overtime with the Warriors also means the Lakers' defeat.
The Warriors' offense went very smoothly in overtime, but no one else could hold on to the Lakers' offense when Zhao Chen was severely exhausted. Although Kobe also scored sporadic points, it was a drop in the bucket!
"The Lakers' defeat has been decided, Zhao Chen is tired."
"The Warriors played the way they are good at, and this is their secret to winning!"
After watching the previous rounds, Barkley and Smith determined the final result tonight.
....
....
finally!
No surprises!
The score of this game was fixed at 116 to 123.
The Warriors defeated the Lakers in overtime.
The Lakers only scored 6 points in overtime, and Zhao Chen only scored 4 points through free throws.
After the game, Zhao Chen sat on the sidelines to catch his breath and sweat. All Lakers fans knew that Zhao Chen tried his best.
Scott's tactics still learned a lesson, and he still tried to use only Zhao Chen's card to fight G2.
Cole was very smart, Curry was just the initiator, and the Warriors finally won in overtime through the strength of the team, defeating Zhao Chen!
Even though the last 67-point game was exciting, it took too much of a toll on Zhao Chen!
The interval between the two games was less than 48 hours, and Zhao Chen was not in full physical condition before playing this game.
After the game, Zhao Chen squatted on the ground for a long time before he regained his composure.
He was really tired from this game.
Zhao Chen scored 54 points, 15 rebounds and 6 assists in the whole game. Including G1, the total points scored in the two games exceeded 120 points, averaging 60 points per game!
High scores also mean high consumption.
This is no ordinary game!
But the Western Conference Finals!
After taking a break, Zhao Chen refused all interviews and walked directly to the locker room.
The score was tied at 1-1, but the low-level hot touch still could not prevent the team from losing.
Zhao Chen needs to spend more time studying his opponents, even if he returns to Los Angeles next.
These two home courts are difficult to defend!
