After scoring consecutively, Zhao Chen completely boosted the momentum of the Lakers.
Cole's eyes on the sidelines became more and more serious. It was difficult for him to imagine how Zhao Chen could maintain such sustained attack power in such a high-intensity confrontation.
Curry chewed his braces through halftime.
Curry's competitive spirit was also aroused by Zhao Chen.
Zhao Chen still pressed Curry, but he was too hasty.
Curry passed Zhao Chen with a back dribble.
Curry's dribbling skills are still very reliable. When he is paying attention, it is difficult for Zhao Chen to intercept his ball.
After Zhao Chen was passed, Covington, who was assisting in defense, quickly came over.
The Lakers' focus is still on the waterproof flower brothers, and Thompson has always been guarded by Rose.
Curry changed directions and dribbled, turned and passed Covington, and quickly shot two points from a long distance between the free throw line and the three-point line.
"Uh-huh!"
22 to 18.
When Curry was restricted from three-pointers, he decisively took long shots to help the Warriors score points.
Zhao Chen signaled to his teammates that the ball was out of position.
It's not that Zhao Chen doesn't make mistakes. He does make mistakes occasionally. At this time, he just needs to admit it decisively.
Curry shook his head and shouted at Zhao Chen: "Your defense is so easy to pass."
Zhao Chen responded: "You don't even dare to defend me."
Curry said: "Who said that?"
Zhao Chen said: "Let's try one-on-one defense in the next round?"
When Curry heard that Zhao Chen was going to be serious, he spit out his braces and ran away.
Defend against Zhao Chen alone?
Just kidding.
Lakers offense.
Zhao Chen dribbled the ball over, and Thompson's one-on-one defense.
Facing Thompson, Zhao Chen dribbled the ball continuously and then changed directions.
Although Thompson guarded against Zhao Chen's retreat, Zhao Chen still succeeded in successive retreats.
Make space for life.
The ball looked like a walk, but the referee didn't call it.
Zhao Chen gained huge space to take action.
Step back and take a decisive three-pointer.
The basketball draws a gorgeous arc.
Amid the early cheers of the fans at the scene, the basketball hit the net!
"Uh-huh!"
22 to 21.
Only 1 point away from catching up.
Curry and Thompson both signaled to the referee.
"Didn't the ball move?" Curry asked.
"This ball is definitely a walk." Thompson questioned.
Thompson felt that Zhao Chen could only open a small distance at most. If he could open such a large distance, it would be like taking a shot from an open position.
"He just went back for a layup in three steps." The referee explained to the two in simple words.
"If you want to say that, I can do the same." Curry said depressedly.
Three steps to the back for a layup?
I can too...
The referee didn't look back at Curry, just rolled his eyes at him.
Curry went back to catch the ball halfway across the court.
Frontcourt position.
Facing Zhao Chen, Curry made consecutive changes of direction and also rushed to Zhao Chen's right side.
Zhao Chen followed closely.
Curry double steps back with the ball...
"Beep!!!"
The referee decisively signaled to go!
Curry obviously wanted to imitate Zhao Chen's technical moves just now, but his steps were not adjusted neatly.
Zhao Chen wanted to laugh when he saw it.
Curry chewed his braces at the referee and made a hand gesture of No. 10 in the face of boos.
It is clear.
Curry mocked the referee for favoring Zhao Chen.
The referee did not call Curry a technical foul, and this kind of ridicule was not enough.
"Haha, I laughed so hard."
"Curry is really cute. He thought the referee wouldn't call such a step back."
"To be honest, I don't see the difference between Curry's step back and Zhao Chen's step back."
"Pay attention to Zhao Chen's step-back movement. When he collects the ball, he uses his right foot as the supporting foot, takes one step back with his left foot, then uses his left foot as the supporting foot, takes one step back with his right foot, and completes three steps back. When Zhao Chen made such a step-back shooting action, it looked like he took two steps after collecting the ball, like walking. In fact, he only took one step during the whole process, and there was no walking violation."
Indeed, as the fans said, when Zhao Chen takes a step back, he first uses his right foot as the supporting foot and pivot foot to collect the ball, then takes a small step with his left foot, and the right pivot foot does not move, so This small step with your left foot does not count as a movement step.
After Zhao Chen finished stepping back with his left foot, he used his left foot as a supporting foot and took a step back with his right foot. This was a step back during his entire shooting process. It was completely in line with the rules and did not count as a step.
A long time ago, technical experts analyzed Zhao Chen's iconic step back three-pointer.
They will find that this is a very difficult technical action, which requires observing the defender's position, grasping the timing of collecting the ball and stepping back, controlling the pivot foot to avoid walking, and controlling body balance before shooting a three-pointer.
Zhao Chen has mastered this step-back technique to a very high level, making it difficult for defenders to guard against him.
This kind of step-back three-pointer has enough space to shoot after the step-back. If he does not defend, Zhao Chen is open and fully capable of making the shot.
Lakers offense.
Rose dribbled past half court.
When Zhao Chen passed by Curry, he said, "If you want to step back without getting whistled, come to my training camp in the summer and I'll give you a 20% discount on your tuition."
Curry shrugged and replied: "I'm not going to get help from the referees to do this step back."
Curry always thinks this is a double standard from the referee
Zhao Chen said: "You can go back and slow down my movements. Just because you can't do it doesn't mean others can't do it."
Curry showed a good student attitude: "I will go back and watch."
Rose dribbled over and played a pick-and-roll with Jokic.
After the pick-and-roll, Rose broke through. The Warriors' defensive attention was all on Zhao Chen, and Rose broke through easily.
Successful layup!
22 to 23.
In the next game, the two sides entered a moment of confrontation.
Both the Lakers' role players and the Warriors' role players began to show off their power.
The offensive efficiency of both sides is very high, and almost every goal will be met by a response from the opponent.
"Uh-huh!"
"Uh-huh!"
"Uh-huh!"
"Uh-huh!"
The sounds of basketballs hitting the net continued one after another.
The defenses of the Warriors and Lakers were both blown away.
After the first quarter, the score was 38-38.
Zhao Chen scored 22 points in a single quarter, Curry scored 14 points in a single quarter, and Thompson scored 9 points in a single quarter.
Even though many players scored, Zhao Chen and the Splash Brothers are still the brightest rising stars of their respective teams.
"This is beautiful."
"The Warriors have a stronger offense than the Lakers this year."
"The Lakers have encountered the most difficult opponent this year. Their condition is pretty good, but they still don't have much advantage against the Warriors."
"The Warriors didn't show much fear of the Lakers. Instead, they got better and better as they played, showing off their own style."
"Zhao Chen's score is still the highest in the game, and it is really easy for him to score."
"Zhao Chen's game is more like a performance. Every time he attacks with the ball, he can arouse cheers from the audience."
Indeed, in the first quarter of the game, every time Zhao Chen held the ball, the crowd would cheer and the fans would applaud and shout.
Even if the camera only gives a close-up of Zhao Chen, the fans at the scene will get excited.
Zhao Chen’s influence can be seen everywhere.
