Curry gives the ball to Green.
Green conducts the ball!
The Warriors have a lot of passes and cuts, but the ultimate goal is either to attack the frame or make long shots.
Of course, if their defense forces their opponent to make a mistake, their counterattack will come as well.
This is not a counterattack, but a positional battle.
The Lakers' defense is very targeted, switching defenses as soon as the pick-and-roll comes!
In the end, Green's layup was blocked by Zhao Chen! !
Jokic gets the rebound!
Zhao Chen expanded his defense range, and he tried his best to help with defense both on the outside and inside.
Lakers offense.
Zhao Chen took the ball across half court.
Zhao Chen advanced very slowly this time. After all his teammates had passed the half-time, he only passed the half-time in 8 seconds.
Zhao Chen had just hit a LOGO three-pointer, and the Warriors' attention was all on Zhao Chen.
Just when they thought Zhao Chen would attack on his own, Zhao Chen indeed sent a cannonball-like pass directly to the inside.
to whom?
Jokic!
Jokic and Zhao Chen have a tacit understanding.
Zhao Chen directly sent Jokic a perfect air cut.
Jokic easily pushed the ball into the basket with both hands.
64 to 77.
The Lakers continued to widen the point difference.
Jokic waved greetings to Zhao Chen.
The Warriors were careless on this shot and gave Jokic a chance.
Warriors attack.
Curry catches the ball and advances.
Staples Center fans booed loudly.
Curry did not play by himself, but continued to feed Green the ball.
Green's organization.
Zhao Chen has been following Curry's movements.
Obviously, Curry was just a cover, and Green didn't give the ball to Curry who came to respond.
Instead, the ball was given to Barnes at the free throw line.
It was Booker who was defending Barnes at this time.
This is a misalignment.
Against Booker, Barnes has obvious physical and strength advantages.
Barnes leaned against Booker and sat inside.
Booker was pushed out of position, and Barnes squeezed hard into the middle of the free throw line and the three-second zone.
The Lakers have a small lineup, and when Jokic is competing with Green, there is no one to help Booker.
Barnes made an easy turn and layup and scored the ball!
66 to 77.
"The thing that's holding Booker back from becoming a better player is his defense," Barkley said.
"Booker's scoring ability and basketball intelligence are both good. He needs to learn some defensive skills from Zhao as much as possible." Smith said.
Booker was blown away by this.
Both Thompson and Barnes can easily defeat him.
Maybe Booker's defensive problems will not be magnified during the regular season, but in the playoffs, the opponents are Warriors-level teams, and they can easily discover the strengths and weaknesses of the Lakers players and carry out targeted attacks.
Booker was a little frustrated, and Jokic patted him.
Scott on the sidelines also called Harrell to the sidelines. If Booker can't guard him, he will defend inside.
Lakers offense.
Booker had just been beaten hard by Barnes. This time he met Barnes and was also beaten hard. Booker used continuous changes of direction to get past Barnes. He wanted to make an emergency stop in the mid-range, but when he shot, In an instant, Iguodala slapped him down.
Zhao Chen frowned. The current defensive intensity is not comparable to that in 2020.
A mid-range player like Booker occasionally has a chance to score, but with Iguodala and Green paying attention, it's difficult not to be disturbed.
Warriors attack.
Curry is still Barnes, and he still turns to Booker to defend Barnes.
Barnes used the exact same offensive method just now and ate Booker alive!
Booker was also called for a thug foul on this ball.
Booker spread his hands and expressed his helplessness to the referee.
But the referee ignored it.
It's hard to defend against a small defender who is pushed inside.
Scott requested a substitution when Barnes went to take a free throw, allowing Harrell to replace Booker.
"Uh-huh!"
Barnes also hit the extra penalty steadily.
69 to 77.
"The Warriors' offensive adjustments came very quickly. Mismatched offense is also their main scoring method. Scott also immediately took down Booker, no longer giving the Warriors the opportunity to easily misplace. If Harrell is used, the team's situation needs to be taken into consideration. Can you keep up with the speed?" Buckley shouted.
In this game, the Warriors finally saw hope of chasing points in the third quarter.
If Harrell is on, the Warriors will use small ones to fight big mismatches.
"Zhao, we will make a comeback." Curry shouted to Zhao Chen.
“I’ll say this after the game is over,” Zhao Chen said.
"Your teammates are not that interesting." Green said with a big mouth.
"It's enough to blow you up." Zhao Chen shot back.
The score was recovered somewhat.
Zhao Chen became a little wary.
The Lakers attacked, and Rose dribbled forward at high speed.
After arriving in the frontcourt, Rose made a gesture and asked Zhao Chen to run.
Rose could tell that Zhao Chen would be flanked if he held the ball.
Now Zhao Chen is the best when playing without the ball.
Zhao Chen wandered on the left side, and Jokic provided the screen.
Jokic's body is very thick, Iguodala was blocked, and Thompson immediately helped defend.
Zhao Chen reversed and ran in diagonally to get rid of Thompson.
Zhao Chen did not stay inside, but continued to run to the bottom corner on the left.
Almost at the same time, Rose started a breakthrough.
Rose attracted the defensive attention of the Warriors players at this moment.
Rose passed the ball towards Zhao Chen.
Zhao Chen caught the ball and was rarely in an open position.
The knife falls from the hand!
Zhao Chen glanced at the basket and then shot a three-pointer.
Very stable rhythm!
"Uh-huh!"
69 to 80.
Zhao Chen still maintained his 100% hit rate.
This ball is an momentum ball, and the Warriors have been putting pressure on the Lakers to chase points.
In the past, this was also the key to the Warriors' momentum in the third quarter.
But this round Zhao Chen withstood the pressure.
Zhao Chen held up the three-point gesture and kept wagging his fingers as he ran back.
Staples Center erupted in cheers.
Warriors attack.
Thompson created a gap on the right through a series of reverse runs, and Curry's pass went directly to Thompson.
Thompson caught the ball and shot, but Rose didn't catch up!
"Uh-huh!"
An arrow to the heart!
72 to 80.
Just when the cheers on the scene were suppressed, Jokic quickly sent it to Zhao Chen.
Zhao Chen received the ball in midfield and rushed directly.
A back dribble past Curry.
Immediately afterwards, the high ball collected the ball and passed Iguodala.
Zhao Chen jumped high!
One-handed chop!
72 to 82.
Zhao Chen's hit rate still maintains 100%, which is a terrifying efficiency.
After this round, the Lakers and Warriors began a new round of confrontation.
The Warriors launched their powerful perimeter offensive firepower.
And Zhao Chen also used his hot state to score frequently.
Under the leadership of Zhao Chen, the Lakers withstood the Warriors' counterattack pressure time and time again.
During the game, the two sides continued to have physical confrontations, and a large-scale conflict also broke out between the two sides.
Green kicked Harrell, and Tucker was suspected of stepping on Thompson.
Tucker and Green hugged each other! !
Green and Tucker both received technical fouls.
The referee was also very restrained and did not expel the two men directly.
In this passionate confrontation, the game came to the end...
