Zhao Chen also figured out why the veteran's youth was only a single-quarter skill.
After too much time, the veteran's body cannot withstand it, and neither can his opponent.
This skill is crazy.
Zhao Chen is now wondering if it is time to encourage Dayao to come back...
So what will it be like to have your chubby body return to its peak?
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, although the fans at Staples Arena shouted Kobe's name many times, Kobe still sat on the court and had no intention of playing.
The camera was shown to Zhao Chen.
"Haha, Zhao Chen is here to play garbage time."
"Twenty-five points is not considered garbage time. The Warriors are very capable of chasing points. Zhao Chen paddled for a whole quarter. It's time to make an effort."
"Kobe is awesome!!"
"It's been a long time since I've seen Kobe so fierce."
In the third quarter, Kobe allowed people to re-see how he played at his peak.
This kind of Kobe makes Lakers fans more confident in winning the championship!
Zhao Chen is so terrifying, and then comes Kobe, who explodes from time to time. Can the Warriors hold on?
[Veteran’s Youth] The butterfly impact brought by this skill is much greater than Zhao Chen imagined.
The psychological blow to the Warriors players was also huge.
The Warriors still had five dead players on the court in the fourth quarter. This was the Western Conference Finals, and Kerr couldn't give up easily.
In order to catch up with the score, Cole also increased the playing time of the main rotation players.
The fourth quarter was all about the Lakers.
Zhao Chen dribbled the ball past half court.
Although Zhao Chen was watching the show in the third quarter, it was also very taxing on him.
However, Zhao Chen is in great shape right now. Even if he doesn't need any skills, he still has a hot mid-level touch.
Top of the frontcourt arc.
Zhao Chen greeted Randall's pick-and-roll.
Randall goes to cover.
The kiss with Green did not affect his state, and Randall was still very positive.
Zhao Chen used the screen to get rid of Thompson's defense.
Iguodala and Green attacked Zhao Chen at the same time.
Kobe's absence finally allowed them to find their familiar defensive tactics.
Just guard against Zhao Chen with all your strength.
Zhao Chen sent the ball to Iguodala and Green in the middle!
"Bang!"
The basketball bounced into the hands of Randall who followed up.
Randall grabbed the ball with his left hand, and with no one in front of him, he made a one-handed dunk! !
"frame!"
94 to 121
Randall pulled the frame hard after dunking.
The sway of the body made the basket shake a little.
Randall's emotions were vented.
Warriors attack.
Curry advances at a fast pace.
Zhao Chen mainly defended Curry and did not let Curry have a chance to shoot a three-pointer.
Thompson used Green's screen on the right to escape Joe Harris' pursuit.
An opportunity was obtained at a 45-degree position on the oblique side, and Curry's pass was in place.
Thompson catches the ball and shoots! !
Textbook shooter's movement, jump shot, and shooting posture!
"Uh-huh!"
97 to 121.
Lakers offense.
The Warriors did not flank Zhao Chen this time.
Zhao Chen's assists tonight were already 20+, and the price he paid for flanking him was too heavy.
Harris came over to cover with Zhao Chen.
After the screen, Thompson was taken away, leaving Curry for Zhao Chen.
The Lakers all pulled apart to watch Zhao Chen challenge Curry.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
Facing Curry's hard defense, Zhao Chen first made two changes of direction, then leaned over to the right and sprinted past him.
Zhao Chen's breakthrough easily tore through the defense, and with Barnes' help, Zhao Chen changed direction at high speed to the left and continued past Barnes.
Green and Iguodala attacked Zhao Chen at the same time.
Zhao Chen jumped up to score the ball and hit it to the right at a 45-degree three-point position!
Harris caught the ball and there was no one two meters in front of him.
Joe Harris is the quintessential tailwind player.
What is a tailwind player?
It's just the icing on the cake when you're leading. Don't expect him to come out and save the team when you're behind.
Leading by 20+ points allowed Harris to shoot without any pressure.
Three-point shot!
"Uh-huh!"
97 to 124.
"Boss, that's a beautiful pass." Harris waved to Zhao Chen.
"Keep up the good work." Zhao Chen smiled.
The fans at Staples Center cheered.
Zhao Chen's assists come from his own extremely high efficiency. If the opponent does not flank him, Zhao Chen will hit the ball by himself.
Zhao Chen's shooting percentage may be higher than Harris's open three-pointers.
Warriors attack.
This time it's Thompson.
Green was organizing on the line, and after a series of reverse runs, Thompson and Curry's cross-screens left an open space in the bottom corner.
Green's pass arrived quickly.
Thompson didn't take a shot the first time he got the ball. Instead, he took a step, shook off Harris who was rushing towards him, and took a step up!
There's absolutely no space left, so let's raise the knife and drop it!
"Uh-huh!"
100 to 124.
At the critical moment, the warrior Buddha showed his power.
Lakers offense.
It is Iguodala who defends Zhao Chen.
The entire Warriors team is trying to avoid letting Curry defend Zhao Chen alone. Such a matchup is too deadly.
Iguodala's defense was really good, and Zhao Chen didn't let Zhao Chen break through on his first pass.
Randall quickly brought it up, and Zhao Chen used the cover to get rid of Iguodala.
With Green's help, Zhao Chen hit the ball to Green's crotch. Green's crotch felt cold, and Zhao Chen got past him on the right.
The defense was torn apart by Zhao Chen.
Green turned around and attacked Zhao Chen. Zhao Chen easily passed the ball from behind to Clarkson who was cutting through the air.
Green tried his best to guard against Zhao Chen, but he didn't spare any effort at all.
Clarkson didn't expect it to be so easy and pressure-free when he cut inside to the basket.
Clarkson scored an easy layup!
100 to 126.
The Warriors continued to chase points, but the Lakers did not stop scoring.
Zhao Chen has always been able to tear apart the Warriors' defense, making the Warriors players feel helpless.
"Zhao Chen's passing is really sharp."
"Whether it's a personal breakthrough or a pass with the help of cover, Zhao Chen uses it like an artistic performance."
"Greene actually got crotched on the highway, haha."
"Bogut's absence still poses a big problem for the Warriors' interior protection."
"Oh my god, before I knew it, Zhao Chen's assists were about to reach 30!"
“Crazy!!”
Fans are buzzing.
On the court, Thompson was expressionless and did not change because of Zhao Chen's assist.
This time, Thompson received Curry's pass. The original tactic was for Thompson to continue to transfer the ball, but Thompson did not. He raised his hand and threw a super long three-pointer from Harris one meter away from the right three-point line. ! !
The arc of the basketball rushes toward the basket.
"Uh-huh!"
103 to 126
The Buddha showed his sage and hit three points in a row!
If it were at the Warriors' home court, Thompson's ball would cause the entire audience to riot.
But this was an away game, and Thompson's three-pointer didn't make too many waves among the fans at Staples Arena.
At most, Lakers fans think this guy's three-pointers are really accurate...
Because the Lakers were scoring consecutively, Scott had no intention of calling a timeout.
The Warriors went full court and pressed.
Facing Iguodala's tackle, Zhao Chen calmly made a large change of direction and dived to break the press.
Zhao Chen rushed to the frontcourt.
When many people thought that Zhao Chen would press the pace, Zhao Chen directly attacked the Warriors' defense before it was fully in place.
The consequence of the full-court press is that the half-court defense takes time to prepare.
Zhao Chen rushed inside, Green rushed to stop him, and Zhao Chen threw the ball into the sky.
Randall's magic weapon on the right comes from the sky! ! !
"frame!"
The Lakers' alley-oop easily broke the defense! !
103 to 128.
At this moment, Thompson's expression finally changed.
He never imagined that three three-pointers would have no effect on chasing points.
The Lakers' offense is coming like a tide!
The Lakers led by Zhao Chen gave the Warriors no hope in the final quarter!
