.........
As for why the veteran's youth was not used before.
Zhao Chen has his own judgment.
Against the Warriors, the youth of a veteran can only have a certain effect when used on Kobe.
But Kobe's style of play is too self-centered and a bit out of touch with the team. In just one quarter, it is difficult to completely change the situation of both sides. It is better for Zhao Chen to maintain his physical fitness and stay on the court.
At Zhao Chen's stage, Zhao Chen is very confident that his strength will not be inferior to anyone at their peak.
After the meeting, be interviewed.
The reporter asked Zhao Chen how he felt after losing two games in a row.
Zhao Chen said: "This feeling of losing streak is uncomfortable, but it does not mean that I will be defeated easily. I have already adjusted. See you in Los Angeles!"
Because of the meeting, Zhao Chen did not stay in the Oakland news interview hall for long. He quickly returned to the bus and took the bus to the airport with his teammates.
The "Battle of Tianwang Mountain" is very important for both teams.
Whoever can win Tianwang Mountain will have a probability of advancement as high as 88%.
.........
"The Lakers lose in a row, the Warriors' chances of advancing greatly increase!" 》
"Finally found a way to deal with Zhao Chen. 》
"Zhao Chen also has helpless times. 》
"Look forward to it, the showdown at Tianwang Mountain. 》
"The Warriors' strength has attracted a wave of fans, and fans except the Lakers support them!" 》
"The Warriors broke the entire league's fear of being dominated by Zhao Chen. 》
"Zhao Chen is not that scary. 》
"Zhao Chen is still in the mortal world, and he will also lose. 》
The Warriors have won two consecutive games against the Lakers, which is enough to cheer up many fans who don't like the Lakers.
Warriors fans also have great confidence in the Warriors. They all firmly believe that the Warriors have a good chance of winning the championship in the future.
Early the next morning!
Zhao Chen just turned on the TV.
I saw several commentators from TNT analyzing the trends in the east and west.
"The Cavaliers were too relaxed. They suppressed the Raptors 3-1. It seems that promotion is in sight."
"Yes, the Cavaliers are lucky to be in the East. They don't have to fight to the death like the Lakers and the Warriors. The Warriors are more difficult than Zhao Chen imagined, and Zhao Chen is now in trouble."
"Haha, that's right. Now Zhao Chen must be thinking of ways to defeat the Warriors. The Lakers have never encountered this kind of trouble throughout the entire season."
"The strength of the Warriors is that their outside firepower is very stable, and they pass the ball smoothly and rarely make mistakes. The Lakers' unique offense and defense transition cannot be used."
"Then, the Warriors will always have someone else who can burst out in time and catch the Lakers off guard."
"Zhao Chen didn't expect them to be so passive now. Even if he averaged 60 points per game in these four games, it would be useless."
"The problem for the Lakers is actually Zhao Chen. The price for Zhao Chen's 60 points was his absolute control of the ball. Others couldn't explode even if they wanted to. Scott pinned all possibilities for victory on For Zhao Chen, when Zhao Chen is unable to win the game, it means they are in trouble."
"Zhao's contract expires this summer. I wonder if he will choose to leave the team if he is eliminated? Haha."
"No, Zhao has always had the attitude of a winner. If he experiences failure, he will find a way to win back instead of being a deserter."
Zhao Chen turned off the TV after watching it for a while.
Re-study the key videos sent by the editors of previous games.
G5 battle!
Staples Center.
News gathering hall.
Zhao Chen was passing by wearing sunglasses and casual clothes.
A Lakers reporter asked Zhao Chen: "Will the Lakers win tonight?"
Zhao Chen replied categorically: "Definitely."
Zhao Chen's confidence and attitude responded resolutely.
Locker room, dressing up, warm-up, tactical layout!
Entrance ceremony!
The process is proceeding in an orderly manner.
After returning to the home court, all this made Zhao Chen feel comfortable and happy.
The Battle of Tianwang Mountain soon began.
From the beginning, the Warriors' Splash Brothers showed good touch and hit long-range shots one after another.
For the Lakers, Zhao Chen did not immediately enter his personal offensive mode, but sorted out the offense. Kobe, Covington, Jokic and others also scored points respectively.
Zhao Chen himself would come out to shoot cold arrows from time to time.
Zhao Chen's hot touch today was clearly reflected.
In the first quarter of the game, Zhao Chen took 6 shots from beyond the three-point line and hit all of them. He also took 2 two-point shots and hit all of them.
Zhao Chen scored 22 points in the first quarter without any free throws.
Zhao Chen's stability, coupled with the steady performance of other Lakers players, helped the Lakers lead the Warriors by 4 points 37-33 in the first quarter.
The starting pace of both teams was not fast, but they were very targeted.
A high score means they are efficient.
...........
"The first quarter of the game was not much different from the previous four games. Of course, Zhao's 100% shooting rate was a bit scary. It can also be seen that Zhao made a lot of adjustments to the Warriors' defense. Zhao Chen did not challenge More often than not, he chooses one-on-one as much as possible, which is what he is good at.”
"On the defensive end, the Lakers did a good job in applying pressure. They did not allow Green and Iguodala to easily find space. These two also lacked the touch they had in the previous game. Neither of them made a three-pointer in the first quarter."
"Zhao successfully read the Warriors' defense. Neither Thompson nor Iguodala's defense caused Zhao Chen too much trouble."
"Zhao continued to sort out the team's offense while attacking personally. Some of the balls were deliberately played. I think this is the result of their players' meeting."
TNT's Barkley chatted with Smith.
Second quarter of the game.
The two sides rotated their lineups for a duel.
Lakers Rose, Zhao Chen, Booker, Arab League, Harrell,
Warriors Livingston, Thompson, Barnes, Iguodala, Green.
On the court, Zhao Chen told Rosebook: "Derek, when you have the chance, cut inside or break through by yourself. Devin, you improve your short-range mid-range jumpers."
"Of course, if you can't hit it, just give me the ball and don't force it."
Rose and Booker nodded.
Rose and Booker have certain independent offensive capabilities, and Zhao Chen hopes that personal offense and team offense will blossom together.
The Lakers started to attack.
Rose dribbled to the frontcourt.
Zhao Chen still attracts the main defensive attention of the Warriors' second lineup.
It is Iguodala who defends Zhao Chen.
Iguodala kept pestering Zhao Chen, giving Zhao Chen physical contact, and then made some small moves.
"Andre, I never thought you could be so dirty." Zhao Chen sprayed Iguodala.
"I don't know what you are talking about, I will give everything to win." Iguodala said.
Zhao Chen pushed Iguodala away with his left arm.
Iguodala wouldn't fall down directly, that would be too much.
Rose's change of direction against Livingston was unsuccessful. Green quickly assisted in defense, and Rose gave the ball to Zhao Chen.
Zhao Chen handles the offense.
After receiving the ball, Zhao Chen immediately leaned over to be a three-threat player.
Iguodala's closeness.
Zhao Chen used his shoulders to open up the space, and then took a step forward to reach a high position.
Emergency stop!
Jump shot!
This shot was very stressful because Zhao Chen did not get rid of Iguodala's defense.
Relying on his height and wingspan advantage, Zhao Chen successfully made the basketball!
Iguodala just can't cover Zhao Chen.
"Uh-huh!"
The picturesque posture penetrates the heart and enters the net!
33 to 39.
Zhao Chen's move is not much different from that of peak Qiao Ke.
