The score is as much as 15 points behind.
Although everyone felt it was a bit big, they were not panicked.
The Lakers have encountered too many difficulties this season.
Kobe looked at Zhao Chen with joy in his eyes. Zhao Chen was different from when he first came at the beginning of the season.
He loves the Lakers even more and is more willing to take on the responsibility of a leader instead of remaining silent when they fall behind.
Trailing by 15 points, if Zhao Chen didn't play hard, this series might really enter a tiebreaker.
No one can guarantee whether Stephen Curry will risk his comeback in the tiebreaker!
After the speech in the locker room ended, Zhao Chen walked out of the locker room alone.
"Zhao, lead the team to complete the reversal and eliminate them!"
"You're better than Jordan because you haven't played in a tiebreaker in your career."
"Come on, come on! You are the MVP!"
At the entrance of the players' tunnel, countless Lakers fans shouted, screamed and cheered towards Zhao Chen.
These voices encouraged Zhao Chen not to give up.
Hearing these encouraging voices, Zhao Chen waved towards them.
Zhao Chen's confidence is getting stronger and stronger!
The support of fans also gives him confidence.
Of course, greater confidence still comes from one's own strength!
The third quarter started quickly.
Lakers starting lineup: Zhao Chen, Kobe, Covington, Tucker, Randall.
Today's second unit is basically digging holes, and Scott doesn't trust them.
Warriors starting lineup: Barbosa, Thompson, Barnes, Iguodala, Green.
Barbosa's offensive style is more balanced than Livingston's and can also open up space. He was quickly used by Cole.
"Hey, Shaq, how many points do you think Kobe will score in the third quarter?" Barkley asked.
"10 points, this guy is not in good shape today." O'Neal said.
"I think he scored more than 10 points. He broke out in the third quarter of the first two games. He looked eager to try today." Barkley said.
"This is impossible." O'Neill shook his head.
"You two can make a bet." Reggie Miller smiled.
"Pole dancing, Shaq dances if it's above 10 points, Charles dances if it's below 10 points." Kenny Smith was also fanning the flames.
"OK!"
"no problem."
Although O'Neal and Barkley both knew that the two men were digging a hole, they still jumped down willingly.
On the one hand, I think my judgment is okay, and on the other hand, it is also for the effect of the program.
............
Warriors ball.
Barbosa controlled the ball across half court and gave it to Green.
Zhao Chen is guarding Barbosa, and Kobe is chasing Thompson.
This defensive arrangement is also to a certain extent to allow Zhao Chen to focus more on offense.
Green played the ball very decisively and passed the ball directly to Thompson who ran around the screen.
Thompson caught the ball and made a crisp drift shot against Kobe's defense.
Why is it so difficult?
Thompson's touch was hot in the first half and he was confident in his shooting.
And with more points ahead, there aren't too many worries about shot selection.
"Uh-huh!"
Although Kobe's defense was in place, Thompson's hands were hot tonight!
70 to 52.
The Lakers reached their largest point difference tonight, 18 points!
The fans at Staples Center were a little downbeat. No one could have imagined that without Stephen Curry, the Warriors would still have Klay Thompson out to score three-pointers.
This guy's three-point shooting ability is not that strong!
After Thompson scored, he glared hard at Zhao Chen.
Back to Golden State for the tiebreaker, it’s decided!
Zhao Chen ignored Thompson's provocative look and started to accelerate after receiving Randall's baseline ball.
If Zhao Chen hadn't stopped him at the same speed, it would have been difficult to guard against him.
Thompson wanted to stop Zhao Chen, but Zhao Chen dribbled the ball at high speed without slowing down and directly changed direction!
Thompson was passed.
Green and Barbosa wanted to trap Zhao Chen, but Zhao Chen's impact was too fast and they couldn't trap him.
Zhao Chen went straight to the basket! !
Take three steps and fly into the air! !
James style tomahawk dunk! !
"frame!"
70 to 54.
Zhao Chen doesn't care whether it's three points or two points, just score first!
Zhao Chen's touch was not very good today, so Zhao Chen tried his best to hit the inside.
"Zhao Chen was beaten very hard today."
"This ball is a beautiful one-stop shot. The Warriors wanted to defend but couldn't."
"Zhao Chen's speed is very strong!"
"The Warriors' defense is like paper."
The fans at the scene continued to cheer. Lakers fans wanted to see Zhao Chen play like this.
On the court, Zhao Chen signaled his teammates to strengthen their defense.
The Lakers pressed the whole court, and every Lakers player was using their body to fight the defender.
Zhao Chen's attitude is their attitude.
The Lakers' full-court press soon had an effect. Barbosa was not a traditional point guard after all. When he passed the long ball to Green, he was too strong and passed it directly out of bounds.
"nice shot!"
"Nice defense!"
"Just play with him."
"The offense relies on Zhao Chen and defense working together. This is how the Lakers win."
Director Zhang from the CCTV studio kept shouting.
The Lakers have the ball, and Randall continues to give the ball to Zhao Chen.
Zhao Chen had just passed halftime when he suddenly felt the rhythm and feeling coming.
Without any hesitation, he stepped on the LOGO position to collect the ball and push.
The Warriors players are still discussing with each other how to flank Zhao Chen.
Zhao Chen's touch was not good tonight. In their opinion, Zhao Chen will mainly rush to the inside, and they must always be prepared to attack from a flank.
Zhao Chen’s choice of LOGO is very unreasonable!
Super long three-pointer directly! !
Although Green and Iguodala both rushed over, they were a beat too slow.
Zhao Chen's action was very resolute and decisive!
to the cheers of fans at Staples Center.
"Uh-huh!"
Super long three-pointer!
70 to 57.
Zhao Chen's touch came back again.
Fans at Staples Center cheered and screamed.
"As long as Zhao Chen can quickly recover his long-range shot, this point difference won't be a problem!"
"Yes, Zhao's long-range shooting performance in the first half was probably his worst in this series."
"Hong Kong, that's right."
The commentators were screaming and shouting.
On the field, Zhao Chen also patted his chest after scoring the goal.
It's not that he didn't score three points in the first half, it was just that he scored too few.
Zhao Chen also needs to adjust his rhythm when shooting three-pointers. As long as the rhythm is adjusted correctly and the muscle memory is readjusted, the basket will become very, very big! !
Zhao Chen's long-range cannons dealt the Warriors a heavy blow.
Curry was worried off the court.
He could feel that the Warriors were far from feeling reassured enough in this game.
After scoring the goal, Zhao Chen briefly celebrated and then immediately led the Lakers to press the Warriors.
Curry's absence has caused some trouble for the Warriors' point guard line, and the full-court pressure puts high demands on the point guard.
Barbosa is a good scorer, but not a very good point guard.
Barbosa carefully protected the ball across the half court. When Barbosa wanted to pass the ball, he found that he could not find the ball release point.
Green was smart enough to see Barbosa's predicament and immediately put up a cover.
Zhao Chen was blocked, and Barbosa found a breakthrough space to break through.
Zhao Chen did not give up his defense, but pursued Barbosa directly.
Barbosa was very confident in his speed and thought that after getting rid of Zhao Chen, he was about to hit the target! !
The moment he flew to hit the board!
"Snapped!"
Zhao Chen stretched out his long arm and nailed the ball to the backboard!
Then Zhao Chen directly grabbed the ball with one hand.
"When did he come here?" Barbossa broke into a cold sweat.
Replays told Barbosa the answer!
Barbossa is very fast, but Zhao Chen is even faster!
Barbosa never completely let go of Zhao Chen from beginning to end.
Zhao Chen bypassed the cover and pursued him!
