Rest between sessions.
Warriors bench.
Warriors players are under tremendous psychological pressure.
Throughout the third quarter, the offensive brought by Zhao Chen was too powerful, which made them unable to withstand it.
Now they don't have Curry. Although the score is not behind, they are really panicking.
Curry wanted to take off his suit and go up to help the team on the sidelines, but he couldn't.
Big Mouth Green also fell silent at this time.
He still can't say that without Curry, we are still a championship team.
He is also pursuing his first championship!
Thompson took the initiative and said: "Give me the ball and I will finish it."
Thompson is the only player on the Warriors who still maintains his confidence.
His rhythm and feel were great tonight.
Cole also discovered this. Cole said: "Try to give the ball to Clay as much as possible, and others will create opportunities for him."
Kerr pinned his hopes on Thompson.
Green, Iguodala and others nodded.
"Hey, man, it's time for you to pole dance," O'Neal teased Barkley.
"Kobe, why can't you score two more points? You let me down so much." Barkley complained.
"Haha, Zhao worked very hard to provide assists to Kobe, but Kobe missed one dunk today, which was just not enough." Reggie Miller laughed.
Several commentators made fun of Barkley.
Online, fans also expressed their expectations.
"Haha, Buckley is going to pole dance."
"Kobe is not the protagonist in this quarter, Zhao Chen is. Barkley is too confident."
"Watching pole dancing! It's so exciting for your eyes."
.............
Fans like to watch high-scoring games, and Zhao Chen scored high scores again and again, which also contributed to Zhao Chen's high popularity.
Zhao Chen playing in the NBA is like a college student entering a junior high school game and scoring points like crazy.
50+ points in three quarters may not be possible for other players in a lifetime, but for Zhao Chen, it is an ordinary game.
Zhao Chen's historical status is achieved through these super high scores.
Even Jordan fans have to admit that Zhao Chen is the player most likely to surpass Jordan in scoring.
As long as Zhao Chen stays healthy, it won't be too difficult for Zhao Chen to win the scoring title every season.
On the Lakers bench, the team doctors continued to massage Zhao Chen to relax his muscles.
For six consecutive games, he faced the highest defensive intensity, and his playing time far exceeded that of the regular season, which put a huge burden on Zhao Chen's body.
Zhao Chen's muscles were tight and hard.
All the team doctor can do is try to let Zhao Chen relax and rest to regain his physical fitness.
Scott knelt down on one knee, and then all the Lakers players stood while Zhao Chen sat and listened to Scott's tactics.
No one paid attention to these gestures, but the media captured it all.
It is estimated that Zhao Chen is the only one in the entire league who can enjoy this kind of treatment.
The head coach lowered his head and arranged the tactics just to let Zhao Chen sit down and rest...
Scott shouted: "Zhao, if you keep playing like this, we can win this game."
Scott doesn't care about Zhao Chen's lack of physical fitness. Now the Lakers need Zhao Chen, and the Lakers can't do it without Zhao Chen.
Zhao Chen nodded!
In the fourth quarter of the game, both sides maintained their starting lineups from the third quarter.
Both sides did not rotate much in this game, and there were not many players outside the rotation who could stand up.
Not much has changed for either team.
Curry was an important part of the Warriors' five-hour loss, and his absence also caused the Warriors to be beaten by the Lakers in the third quarter.
The Warriors didn't have any advantage at all.
Lakers ball.
Zhao Chen took the ball and advanced, and the fans at the scene continued to cheer.
Lakers fans are already convinced that the Lakers are capable of ending the series tonight.
The Warriors were prepared, and Zhao Chen's holding the ball made them feel numb!
To the frontcourt, Randall put on the screen.
Zhao Chen took advantage of the opportunity to get rid of Iguodala, and then Thompson and Green's flanking attack, Zhao Chen accelerated for the second time.
Green and Iguodala chased back. When everyone thought Zhao Chen was going to fly for a layup, Zhao Chen sent the ball to Randall in the middle.
Randall took the ball with both hands and dunked with one step!
"frame!"
94 to 96
Zhao Chen is now playing more and more freely, and he is no longer limited to scoring by himself.
Green's move just now was already very big. Zhao Chen had no doubt that if he made a layup, Green would even dribble the ball down.
"The Lakers easily overtook the score." Xu Jicheng shouted.
"Zhao Chen is getting more and more relaxed on the court, and the Lakers have passed the most difficult moment." Zhang Weiping shouted.
On the court, Green smashed the ball angrily, and the referee warned Green with his eyes without saying much.
Green passes the ball to Barbosa.
The Lakers didn't press the defense.
The full-court press is too physically demanding.
Barbosa gave the ball to Barnes in the low post.
Tucker defended Barnes. Tucker was stronger than Covington, and he withstood Barnes' back hit.
Barnes gave the ball to Thompson, who was cutting.
Zhao Chen gave up Barbosa to help defend Thompson. Thompson leaned on Zhao Chen and tried to make a layup but was interfered with! !
Thompson's layup missed.
Zhao Chen got the rebound.
After getting the rebound, Zhao Chen threw the ball to Covington in the frontcourt.
The long pass passed through the defense and found Covington accurately.
Covington singled out Barbosa in the frontcourt
When NBA-level players attack one-on-one, the offensive players have an absolute advantage.
Covington European-stepped to avoid Barbosa and succeeded in a layup!
94 to 98.
As soon as the fourth quarter started, Zhao Chen assisted his teammates one after another to open up the score.
Zhao Chen's state and rhythm look too relaxed!
Dominance, this is the impression Zhao Chen left on all commentators and fans.
Now Zhao Chen seems to be dominating the game.
"Zhao Chen's long fax is accurate."
"Nothing to say, two consecutive assists made the Warriors' defense useless."
"The Warriors must have thought that Zhao Chen would take over the offense, but they didn't expect Zhao Chen to pass the ball."
"Zhao Chen's pass penetrated the defense!!"
Zhao Chen high-fived Covington who returned to the backcourt to celebrate.
Warriors attack.
Thompson also has a huge pressure!
This is a kind of pressure that never kills the Lakers.
The Lakers' offense is too powerful.
Barbosa dribbled across half court, and Thompson tried to get rid of the defense, but failed.
Kobe was delayed by Green, and Randall chased him out.
The Lakers only had one defensive goal in the fourth quarter.
It's to limit Thompson's long shots.
Infinite defense switching, this is the defensive strategy used by the Warriors to deal with the Lakers, and now the Lakers use it to deal with the Warriors.
Thompson never found his chance.
Barbosa gave the ball to Green, and Green chose his own arrogant breakthrough.
Green's breakthrough stumbled, and Tucker's defense was very tough, but Green still got a foul!
Green stands on the free throw line!
The first free throw was made, the second one was missed.
The rebound was protected by Tucker.
95 to 98.
The Warriors became the one chasing points.
The Lakers have taken the absolute initiative!
