Soon, after Zhao Chen came on the stage, the game turned into a battle between Zhao Chen and Shuang Shao.
Zhao Chen's hand felt slightly cooler, and he didn't press Shuang Shao all the time.
Soon, time came to the last 30 seconds again.
The score was 130 to 130, and the two sides were tied again.
Lakers timeout!
Zhao Chen also didn't expect that Westbrook and Durant would fight to this extent.
Durant had cramps, but he still stayed on the court and persisted.
Zhao Chen had scored 92 points in the game, but he still couldn't kill the game.
Westbrook and Durant also attacked the Lakers defense like crazy, both throwing their bodies out to draw fouls.
None of them can guard anyone.
Westbrook and Durant both had red eyes and were breathing heavily.
The two of them proved with their actions that they did not want to be eliminated easily.
.......
CCTV studio.
"Director Zhang, Zhao Chen has already scored 92 points. Do you think he still has a chance to score 100 points tonight?" Xu Jicheng asked.
"Of course, the premise is that both sides have to play overtime. If there is no overtime, it probably won't work." Zhang Weiping said.
"Zhao Chen tried his best in this game. Of course, Westbrook and Durant also tried their best. They wanted to take the game back to Ohio State. Durant was unwilling to leave the game even though he was cramping."
"Yes, the Thunder's spirit is worthy of admiration. Let's see how the next two teams play in the final moments."
.........
On the sidelines, Lakers coach Scott knelt down on one knee to Zhao Chen to lay out the tactics: "Zhao, you play by yourself, don't pass the ball!"
Zhao Chen sat on the bench and listened while drinking water.
At this time, the competition became intense, and neither of them cared about their movements and etiquette.
Although the whole world knew what tactics the coach was planning, Scott never thought about changing.
As he said in an interview: "You know my tactics are useless. You have to defend them. Zhao is in the team and he is the tactic himself."
Scott has never shied away from saying that he only gives the ball to Zhao Chen's tactics.
This tactic helped him win 75 games, help him get the best coach, and help him win the championship.
Isn’t this tactic good?
They are just jealous.
Although Zhao Chen was there, the atmosphere among the Lakers was relatively tense at this moment.
No one wants to play G6 in Oklahoma City.
30 seconds.
The Lakers had a complete offensive possession.
So the next success rate is the key to the game.
Soon, the pause ends.
Zhao Chen led the starting lineup back to the court.
At critical moments, Scott trusts the veterans more.
The fans at Staples Center were on their feet.
The camera also focused its close-up on Zhao Chen.
Everyone wants to know how Zhao Chen will handle this round of offense next.
Enna also looked at Zhao Chen nervously. She could see that Zhao Chen had tried his best for this night.
If she loses this game, Zhao Chen will probably be in a bad mood. She doesn't want to see Zhao Chen unhappy.
On the court, Zhao Chen successfully brought the ball to the frontcourt.
Lakers players try to spread the space as much as possible.
It is still Robertson who defends Zhao Chen.
Zhao Chen was in no mood to talk trash to Robertson Biao. He didn't want to say anything now.
Zhao Chen concentrated on the ball and tried his best to score the ball.
Durant is on the left and Westbrook is on the right, both trying to defend Zhao Chen at any time.
At 20 seconds, Zhao Chen raised his hand and Jokic came up.
Ibaka was also brought up at the same time.
There were too many people, and Zhao Chen failed to break through smoothly. Zhao Chen dribbled the ball and retreated quickly.
Ibaka and Robertson had a tacit understanding. They gave up Jokic to attack Zhao Chen, and then blocked Zhao Chen's passing route.
Zhao Chen continued to retreat to the LOGO position, and the space instantly opened up. Zhao Chen did not take a long three-pointer. The rhythm of the ball was wrong.
Zhao Chen immediately passed the ball to Kobe, and then ran over while Kobe attracted the defense.
Kobe made a hand-to-hand pass to Zhao Chen, and then screened Zhao Chen.
Zhao Chen immediately took a step forward with the ball.
A little further from the three-point line, Zhao Chen dropped the ball and forced a retreat.
Durant rushed over.
Zhao Chen stopped suddenly, kicked off the ground, and leaned back with all his strength! !
The step back from the three-point line is very difficult.
Zhao Chen's body tilted greatly, and Durant also tried his best to block the shot forward.
but.
In the end, the basketball flew past Durant's fingertips and toward the basket.
"Shua!!"
130 to 133.
The goal was scored cleanly.
After scoring the goal, Zhao Chen himself breathed a sigh of relief.
The fans at Staples Center burst into cheers instantly.
8 seconds.
The Thunder requests a timeout!
"For Zhao Chen, it is really easy and stress-free for him to play key goals."
"Zhao Chen is awesome, another sure-shot kill!"
"Are we going to have two consecutive wins?"
"Damn it, 95 points in a single game, that's incredible!"
Fans watching TV were talking a lot.
They all looked excited.
The fans are cheering for Zhao Chen's goal.
"Zhao, Chen!!" DJ called out Zhao Chen's name in brief Chinese, which meant that the player scored.
After scoring the goal, Zhao Chen also walked off the court with his hands raised and started celebrating.
Zhao Chen felt very hot today, and it is not surprising to score such a goal.
Pause back.
The Lakers' defensive attention is all on Durant.
The Thunder are now three points behind, and there is no point in scoring two points.
Durant seemed calm.
Soon, the game resumed.
Everyone's attention was on Durant's side, but it turned out that Westbrook received the ball and started the offense.
Westbrook received Ibaka's free throw, and when everyone thought he was going to pass the ball, he attacked.
Westbrook shook off Kobe and hit the basket.
Jokic raised his hands to help defend Westbrook.
Westbrook started, holding the ball and rushing.
Westbrook carried Jokic and scored the ball!
"Beep!!"
At the same time, the referee still considered Jokic's hand to be pressing down, and the ball was still subject to an additional penalty.
From pretending to pass to rushing in, it only took Westbrook 4 seconds.
Jokic held his head in his hands, looking very innocent.
But the referee's decision cannot be changed.
This was also Jokic's sixth foul, and Jokic was ejected.
After Westbrook stood up, he roared to the sky.
This ball was too difficult, and he was just going for two plus one.
Everyone knows that Durant is the one who shoots three-pointers for the Thunder, but not many people think that Westbrook is the one who makes the impact.
Because there is too little time left for the Thunder.
"The Thunder's strategy worked, they were great, they confused the Lakers!"
"Yes, this is a difficult two plus one. If Westbrook can make the free throw, then the game will be good to watch. The Lakers have one last timeout, let's see when they use it."
While Barkley was discussing with Smith, Westbrook on the court also made the free throw steadily.
133 to 133.
