...........
After the G2 game started, the two sides engaged in a very fierce confrontation.
Zhao Chen enjoyed various small-action confrontations with Warriors players constantly pushing, harassing, and impacting.
Green, Iguodala, even Thompson and Curry are doing this.
It's just that Zhao Chen is used to big winds and waves, and is very experienced in handling these small actions.
Pass the ball when it's time to pass the ball.
Zhao Chen did not score by himself, but passed the ball to his teammates with scalpel-like precision passing.
On the defensive end, Zhao Chen also stepped up his steals and blocking, constantly putting pressure on the Warriors' perimeter.
After the first quarter, Zhao Chen scored 12 points, 6 assists, 4 steals and 3 blocks.
Although Zhao Chen's scoring seems to be less, Zhao Chen's influence remains the same. Other Lakers players are able to get the ball more and more, and their offense becomes smoother and smoother.
Zhao Chen is now becoming more and more free to control the situation on the court.
The same was true in the second quarter. The game situation was firmly under Zhao Chen's control.
The Lakers players are blooming more, and Rose, Kobe, Booker, and Jokic are all scoring continuously.
The Warriors did want to strangle Zhao Chen's offense, but they did not strangle the Lakers' offense.
The whistle blew in the first half and the score was fixed at 74-60.
The Lakers take the initiative.
Zhao Chen scored 18 points, 10 assists, 10 steals and 10 blocks in the first half. Everyone thought that Zhao Chen would get a quadruple-double at the end of the game. No one expected that he would complete a quadruple-double in the first half.
This is the first half-time quadruple-double in NBA history.
"Zhao Chen got four pairs, damn."
"Just a quadruple-double in the first half, and the Warriors were stunned. If their three-pointers weren't accurate enough, the score would have been wide open."
"This is too exaggerated, a quadruple-double at halftime."
Barkley in the commentary box continued to scream loudly.
Barkley can no longer remember how many times Zhao Chen has broken NBA records. Every time he breaks a record, Zhao Chen always raises the record to a level that is difficult to break.
Under Zhao Chen's crazy performance, it looked like Warriors G2 was about to collapse.
But the Warriors still made adjustments in the third quarter.
Yong San went crazy.
The Warriors' death five rhythm came out, and Curry and Thompson's three-pointers could no longer be held down by Iguodala and Green.
As for the Lakers, Zhao Chen's long-term non-attack caused some problems with his touch, while other Lakers players were a little panicked in the face of the Warriors' crazy pursuit of points.
Frequent low-level mistakes.
Almost within a few rounds, the Warriors quickly caught up with the score.
At the end of the third quarter, the Warriors had already taken the lead.
The fans at Staples Center never imagined that this game would turn into this situation.
In the first half, everything seemed to be under the control of the Lakers, but the Warriors' offense couldn't be suppressed.
Curry and Thompson's three-pointers are so accurate that as long as there is a small opening, they will definitely hit the shot.
In the fourth quarter of the game, after a short adjustment, Zhao Chen led the Lakers to counterattack.
The score between the two sides has been anxious, taking the lead alternately.
Once again, the game came to the last minute, and both sides still couldn't tell who was winning.
Last 40 seconds.
The score is 122 to 120.
The Lakers trailed by 2 points.
A shot that looked familiar from the previous game reappeared again tonight.
After Curry passed the ball to Green to destroy the out of bounds, Scott took advantage of the situation and called a timeout. The Lakers only had 9 seconds to attack in this round.
If it gets beaten again, the game will become very difficult.
"Damn it, these two teams are so close in strength."
"The Lakers are in big trouble tonight."
"The Lakers' strength is Zhao Chen. Other positions, including Jokic, are still a bit weak compared to Green. Jokic is only in his second year after all."
"The same goes for Rose and Kobe. After all, they have been injured before. They are getting older. When they meet the Splash Brothers, they really can't catch up."
"This series is really exciting. The Lakers are not as strong as the outside world predicts, and the Warriors are not as weak as the outside world thinks."
"Whoever wins the Western Conference championship is likely to win the championship. Both teams will play hard."
"This series is very likely to be a tiebreaker."
"The Lakers are more likely to lose tonight."
During the pause.
Scott first emphasized guarding this round, and then emphasized calling the big man to cover Zhao Chen during the last attack.
At the last moment, every key ball needs to be played around Zhao Chen without making any mistakes.
The Warriors' handling of the ball in the last three minutes of this game was much better than in the previous game, otherwise the Lakers would not have gone ahead by now.
Pause back.
Still the Warriors have the ball.
Curry dribbles at the top of the arc.
Still leading at the last moment made Curry feel less pressure.
In the first half, he was really scared by Zhao Chen.
Zhao Chen kept an eye on Curry.
Green and Jokic are struggling inside.
Both sides tried their best in this game, and their physical energy was very high.
The Warriors' tactic is for Curry to play with the ball, rather than passing the ball to Green and counting on Green to attack.
Green tenaciously got rid of Jokic's entanglement and went to the line as a screen.
Zhao Chen was blocked, and Kobe Bryant quickly gave up his defense and Barnes came over to help defend.
Facing Kobe's defense, Curry still passed the ball out at the critical moment. He had no space.
It was Barnes who received the pass from Curry.
Barnes is at the free throw line, and Barnes makes a mid-range jumper.
Tucker flew over to interfere.
Tucker's height is a disadvantage on the defensive end, but the reason why he can occupy the starting lineup is that he knows enough about every offensive player and has a good enough awareness.
Tucker's timely appearance made Barnes nervous when he shot the ball...
"frame!"
The basketball hit the back frame and bounced high.
Jokic got stuck in Green's position and grabbed the rebound.
European big men have good positioning awareness and rarely miss defensive rebounds.
"Nicholas, look here!"
While Zhao Chen shouted, Jokic also looked up and observed.
Almost at the same time, Jokic threw the ball.
Zhao Chen came down suddenly.
Although time allowed the Lakers to stabilize and play slowly, Zhao Chen did not play slowly.
This kind of long pass is very prone to passing errors, but Jokic dared to pass it.
Of course, Zhao Chen also dared to accept it.
This pass was fast, accurate and stable, and it showed the level of Jokic.
Zhao Chen jumped up high and successfully caught the ball!
"oh!!!"
Zhao Chen took the ball and sprinted, with all the Warriors chasing after him crazily.
Zhao Chen simply counterattacked and threw everyone away.
There was no dunk from the three-point line, so Zhao Chen chose a steady tomahawk dunk and dunked the ball in! !
"frame!"
122 to 122.
Zhao Chen used this fast break to tie the score at the last moment.
27 seconds of time.
Zhao Chen only took about 4 seconds to complete the attack.
The Warriors are all aware that this game may become troublesome.
At this moment, the fans at Staples Center were in a climax.
