"Zhao Chen has made more progress in judging his personal offensive rhythm and his teammates' offensive rhythm."
"G4's changes to Zhao Chen are phenomenal. Zhao Chen is no longer limited to individual singles."
On the court, the Warriors attacked again.
Kobe marked Curry, and Zhao Chen marked Thompson.
Thompson tried to get rid of Zhao Chen, but failed. Zhao Chen's defense was like a death coil.
Seeing that he couldn't get rid of Zhao Chen, Thompson stopped in the bottom corner.
Although Thompson didn't move, it didn't mean he gave up attacking.
Thompson's off-ball movement and catch-and-shoot shooting are too fast. As long as he is not careful, he can tear apart the defense.
Curry continued to change directions and dribble in the face of Kobe's defense.
Kobe puts less pressure on Curry.
After a series of changes of direction, Curry threw away Kobe and rushed in.
With Covington's help on defense, Green stepped forward to cover, and Curry continued to break through with a high-beating throw!
The basketball bounced off the backboard and then into the basket!
"knock!"
"Uh-huh!"
4 to 2.
In order to complete this action, Curry threw his body heavily and fell to the ground.
After lying on the ground for a while, Curry stood up under Green's pull.
Curry's determination also showed everyone that this game at the Oracle Center Arena cannot be lost again.
Lakers offense.
Kobe pushed forward with the ball.
Although Kobe wanted to do it by himself, his reason told him that it was best not to do that. Today, his state in all aspects did not return to G4!
Kobe gave the ball to Zhao Chen on one side.
The Warriors no longer dare to attack Zhao Chen easily. In the last game, the attack was too harsh, resulting in Kobe getting 50 points and Zhao Chen assisting 30 points!
Iguodala came to guard Zhao Chen alone.
In terms of height, weight and strength, Iguodala can match up with Zhao Chen.
Of course, this is only a theoretical matchup. Looking at a season, no one can defend Zhao Chen alone.
Zhao Chen made a gesture, and the Lakers players pulled away one after another.
Opening up a single for Zhao Chen, this round is half successful.
Zhao Chen did not pass the ball immediately, but faced the defense and started dribbling from the hip.
At the same time, Zhao Chen also attacked Iguodala: "Why don't you double attack me? Are you afraid of being beaten by Kobe? To be honest, your defense is not good, it's a bit bad."
When was Iguodala said to be bad defensively, only Zhao Chen would criticize him so unscrupulously.
If ordinary players attack Iguodala, Iguodala won't take it seriously.
But it was Zhao Chen!
This made Iguodala look bad.
Just like the field you work in, it is meaningless to have your work criticized by elite leaders in the field.
After saying that, Zhao Chen moved. A drastic change of direction combined with Iverson's classic "pass God" killing move, easily passed Iguodala.
Zhao Chen attacked the inside line and Green assisted in defense.
Zhao Chen started to speed up and passed Green with a high ball and a jumping step.
At the arc position of the three-second zone, Zhao Chen kicked off and took off, straight into the air, and dunked hard! !
"frame!!"
6 to 2.
After Zhao Chen sent out the assist, he immediately strengthened his personal offensive.
Warriors attack.
Still Curry.
Curry gives the ball to Green.
Then Curry used a series of screens to run from the left corner to a 45-degree position on the right, and after receiving Green's pass, he quickly shot a three-pointer.
After returning to the home court, the rhythm of the Warriors players was obviously better, and their cooperation was smoother.
Curry shot very easily!
"Uh-huh!"
6 to 5.
Lakers offense.
Still singles.
This time Zhao Chen faced Barnes' defense.
The Warriors are constantly trying to use different defenders to guard Zhao Chen to see who has the best defensive effect.
Facing Barnes, Zhao Chen used two changes of direction to get past him, rushed forward from the left, and leaned forward against Barnes.
Barnes was beside Zhao Chen and lost his position, not daring to fight against Zhao Chen vigorously.
Randall cut inside, but Green's help defense didn't dare to come out.
Zhao Chen knocked Barnes away with his shoulder and threw a floater between the free throw line and the three-second zone.
"Uh-huh!"
8 to 5.
The soft feel is fully reflected.
The fan momentum at the Oracle Center Arena was once again halted.
Zhao Chen is like a devil.
Warriors attack.
This time Curry used Green's screen to break through and pass the ball to Barnes.
After Barnes clicked a step, he also scored suddenly to Iguodala.
At a 45-degree position on the oblique side, Iguodala was completely left empty.
If Iguodala didn't shoot, he would still give it to Curry who came around.
Curry quickly shot a three-pointer against the defense of Zhao Chen and Kobe!
This ball Curry was forced into a negative angle position in the bottom corner, but he still found room to shoot!
"Uh-huh!"
8 to 8.
While the Lakers were firing on all cylinders, Curry was not sparing any effort and gritted his teeth and persisted.
"Stephen Curry deserves respect. I don't think anyone can see that this guy was unable to play due to injury." Kenny Smith said.
"Curry's style of play is not very physical, which also means that he can still help the team." Miller said.
On the court, after scoring the goal, Curry shook his head and shoulders at Zhao Chen: "Zhao, you can't guard me, you can't guard me!"
Lakers offense.
Zhao Chen dribbled the ball to the frontcourt.
Zhao Chen motioned for Kobe to cover.
Kobe brought it up, took Green away, and left Curry with Zhao Chen.
Zhao Chen singled out Curry.
Curry's face became a little confused.
Facing Zhao Chen, Curry had no confidence in his defense at all.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
After continuous dribbling, Zhao Chen took a small step back to one meter outside the three-point line and made a jump shot!
Curry's defense was in place, but it did not give Zhao Chen the slightest threat.
The arc of the super long step back is great!
"Uh-huh!"
The heart-piercing arrow is like the flames of hell!
11 to 8.
Zhao Chen and Curry faced off.
Both teams started well and worked hard defensively, but neither team could guard their opponents.
Halfway through the first quarter, the feeling of both sides declined a little, and the game lasted two minutes.
It can be seen that as the series reached G5, the physical fitness of both sides also declined somewhat.
With 2 minutes and 03 seconds left in the first quarter, the score was 25-25, and the two teams were tied!
The two sides entered the second lineup to compete.
Zhao Chen stayed on the court with four rookies on the court. The Warriors put on the second team of Livingston, Barbosa, and Ezeli, and paired with them Iguodala and Green.
Cole also came out at a small cost of five deaths, and they had to adopt more personnel rotations.
After the timeout, the Lakers continue to have the ball.
Zhao Chen holds the ball and pushes forward.
"Defend!"
"Defend!"
"Defend!"
Fans at Oracle Center cheered loudly.
Zhao Chen continued to provide strong output steadily, which made the fans feel like they were facing a formidable enemy.
As long as Zhao Chen holds the ball, Warriors fans will feel flustered. Zhao Chen puts too much pressure on them.
Zhao Chen dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, and Livingston followed Zhao Chen.
Livingston continued to press Zhao Chen and did not give Zhao Chen any chance to make a three-pointer.
Randall stood at the top of the arc and covered the block!
Zhao Chen moved towards Randall, but Livingston failed to follow. Green rushed towards Zhao Chen, but was blocked by Randall.
Zhao Chen took advantage of the space created by Randall's simple screen and immediately made a jump shot!
This shot space is very small.
Zhao Chen's shot was fast enough.
The rhythm is smooth.
After bypassing the screen, Green could only watch the ball fly toward the basket.
"Alas!" Warriors fans sighed heavily.
The moment Zhao Chen took action, they felt something was wrong!
"Uh-huh!"
No surprises.
28 to 25
Zhao Chen continues to suppress the momentum at home!
