.....................
Zhao Chen scored 16 points in the first quarter, sweeping away the haze of the previous game.
Curry and Thompson teamed up to score 22 points, and their firepower remained the same.
"The first quarter of the game was the same as before. Zhao Chen and the Splash Brothers completed the exchange of blows. Rose was also in good condition. We can see that the former MVP has gradually gotten rid of the impact of injuries."
"Yes, the matchup between these two teams is getting better and better."
Barkley and Smith were discussing.
The Oracle Center Arena is full of momentum, and Warriors fans are very loyal and supporting the Warriors.
Warriors bench.
Cole was not in a good mood. Although the score was tied, he was still a little dissatisfied. The Splash Brothers played well, but they just couldn't get the lead.
At the same time, Zhao Chen's touch on the opposite side is returning.
As long as Zhao Chen returns to his normal state, it will be difficult for the Warriors to fight.
This is the consensus.
On the other side, Scott also frowned, and then said: "Guys, everyone performed very well in the first quarter tonight. Of course, it would be better if we could invest more on the defensive end. We cannot let They hit so many three-pointers from the outside. If there is a pick-and-roll on the outside, the big man inside must pounce on him without hesitation. In addition, on the offensive end, Zhao, you play more singles with Stephen. If you can cause him to wear out, I I thought our game wouldn’t be that difficult.”
"OK!"
"no problem!"
"OK!"
The Lakers players responded to Scott seriously.
The Lakers lost in G3, and there was not much suspense about the loss, so no one in the Lakers dared to be careless.
The Warriors are strong, and if they are not careful, they will suffer in the playoffs.
The second quarter started quickly.
The Warriors are led by Curry, Iguodala, and Green.
The Lakers are led by Zhao Chen, Rose, and Booker.
Both teams have clear main points of attack, namely Zhao Chen and Curry.
Lakers offense.
Rose advanced with the ball, and Rose passed halftime smoothly under Livingston's harassment.
Zhao Chen kept running in the direction of Curry, and Zhao Chen went out of his way to engage in physical confrontation with Curry.
Booker also waited for Zhao Chen to come over to see if Curry could be used to defend Zhao Chen.
Rose gave the ball to Zhao Chen.
Curry and Iguodala quickly completed the defense switch.
Iguodala kept an eye on Zhao Chen, while Curry guarded Booker.
Iguodala paid great attention to his movements when defending Zhao Chen, trying not to give Zhao Chen a chance to get past him.
Zhao Chen rushed to Iguodala's right side, then stepped back to open up space and quickly shot a three-pointer.
For Zhao Chen, one-on-one is the best opportunity to attack.
Iguodala's rhythm was a beat slower.
The basketball draws a wonderful arc!
"Shua!!"
Zhao Chen kicked off the second quarter with a step-back three-pointer.
Zhao Chen went crazy in the second quarter. Zhao Chen began to show his offensive arsenal and frequently used personal attacks to bombard the Warriors.
But the entire Warriors team is also in great shape at home. Everyone is very excited and will respond to Zhao Chen's offense.
The Warriors passed the ball very smoothly and played it thoroughly. Iguodala and Green also had great touch tonight. The Lakers encouraged them to take long shots, but they could all make them.
In this case, the score between the two teams will still be close.
At the end of the first half, the score was 65-65, and the two teams were still tied.
The third quarter of the game.
The Warriors began to show the characteristics of the Three Madnesses, and the power of their Five Little Deaths was fully demonstrated.
As for the Lakers, Zhao Chen's touch began to decline. Jokic and Rose both scored, but their scores were all regular scores, which were far less explosive than the Warriors.
The Warriors' third quarter was a terrifying offensive firepower. Their scoring was different from that of ordinary teams. Their explosive power was very strong.
The Lakers' offense isn't bad, but they are still being beaten.
Obviously, after returning to their home court, the Warriors have a lot of confidence.
In the fourth quarter of the game, Zhao Chen led the Lakers to take the lead, but at the critical moment, Iguodala stood up and hit consecutive three-pointers to regain the score advantage again. Then a steady stream of other Warriors stepped forward. Scored, although the Lakers once again had a small climax, they failed to overtake the score at the last moment! !
In the end, the score was settled at 130-135.
The Lakers lost Game 4 away from home, losing consecutive away games, and the series score was tied at 2-2.
The two teams will return to G5 for the Tianwangshan battle! !
After narrowly winning two home games and losing two away games, for the Lakers, their momentum dropped from the peak to the bottom.
Warriors are just the opposite.
"The Lakers need to complete adjustments as soon as possible. They have reached the most dangerous time of the season. Before meeting the Warriors, we thought that no team could pose a threat to them. Even in the first two games against the Warriors, we also thought so. , but the Lakers have lost consecutive games now."
"Yes, the Lakers have encountered perhaps the biggest trouble this season. The Lakers seem to be weaker than the Warriors. Although Zhao Chen scored 72 points in this game, the Lakers lost the game. Such data It doesn’t make any sense, except for Zhao Chen, the other Lakers players don’t seem to have fully adapted to such a high-tempo confrontation.”
"Zhao Chen's excellence has made his teammates habitually rely on him. The Lakers' ball rights have always been concentrated on Zhao Chen, which allows the Warriors to defend well. The Warriors' offense is different. They move the ball very quickly. Igo tonight Darla and Green made a total of 12 three-pointers, which Scott could never have imagined. The Warriors' system resulted in them having many surprise players, while the Lakers did not have such surprise players."
Barkley and Smith were communicating.
An away loss is something every team in the playoffs needs to overcome!
Zhao Chen did not expect that the Lakers would also lose in a row.
The Lakers are very strong, but the Warriors can still beat them.
Tonight, Curry and Thompson are not the Warriors' most shining players. Their most shining players are Green and Iguodala.
The outbreak of the two broke the Lakers' deployment. The Lakers' defense was not perfect, which led to the Lakers' final defeat.
Zhao Chen and Kobe did not let the emotions of defeat spread in the locker room.
Instead, as soon as the game is over, the locker room door is closed and a player meeting is held.
Reporters and even the head coach were locked out.
"I think we should go all out and return to our home court to win Tianwangshan at all costs."
It was the first time that Zhao Chen so solemnly emphasized to everyone that there was no room for error in a game.
"Forget about the loss and focus on the next game, that's what we need to do."
Zhao Chen and Kobe tried their best to help all players forget tonight's defeat.
The Lakers still have the advantage, but they need to show off their strength to overwhelm the Warriors.
G3 and G4 were obviously not fully utilized.
In the away game, everyone was a little timid.
Booker, Rose, Arab League, Jokic and others are all responding to Zhao Chen and Kobe and putting forward their own opinions! !
The players meeting lasted about an hour.
An hour later, Zhao Chen came out for an interview.
The reporter asked about the content of such an urgent closed-door meeting.
Zhao Chen replied: "No one will tell you what happened, but I believe this meeting will affect the trend of the series!"
indeed!
Zhao Chen emphasized at the meeting that he would do his best to help the team, and he also hoped that someone would stand up and help him!
After the meeting, Zhao Chen decided to use fiery touch (advanced), which is one of Zhao Chen's trump cards!
There was no need to use it before, but now it is necessary! !
