Lakers offense.
Facing Curry's screen, Zhao Chen pretended to be a pick-and-roll.
But before Jokic could come up, Zhao Chen took a scissor step and passed Curry in one step on the right.
Zhao Chen reached the free throw line, and Green rushed to cover. Zhao Chen quickly changed direction to the left and passed Green again.
Although Green's defense is good, he can't keep up with Zhao Chen at this pace.
After Zhao Chen passed Green, he also faced an empty basket.
Zhao Chen's flying layup was successful.
Said to be a layup, this ball is more like a layup, because Zhao Chen's take-off height is so high that his shoulders are close to the basket.
It's just that Zhao Chen didn't dunk.
6 to 2.
Zhao Chen played very relaxedly in this round,
"Great job, continuous passing, Zhao showed extremely high ability to combine man and ball. During high-speed dribbling, the ball seemed to be a part of Zhao's body, constantly swinging with his movements." Barkley shouted.
"The difference between Zhao and other point guards is his offensive ability. When Zhao doesn't want to pass the ball, he can attack as he wants." Kenny Smith shouted.
Seeing Zhao Chen dribbling the ball so coolly, Thompson looked depressed.
He envied Zhao Chen's dribbling, at least he wouldn't have the ball hit his feet like him.
When Zhao Chen broke through just now, Thompson was still cursing Zhao Chen for being in the same embarrassing situation as himself just now, but Thompson found that he was simply overthinking.
Warriors attack.
Curry gives the ball to Green in the frontcourt.
Green directed Curry and Thompson to move.
Thompson got a small gap on the right side and used Iguodala's screen to get rid of Rose.
Rose was delayed, Green gave the ball to Thompson, Thompson received the ball, took off, and shot, a textbook shooter's posture!
"Uh-huh!"
6 to 5.
Cole applauded from the sidelines. This is what Thompson should do.
If Thompson scored with the ball, Cole would scold him.
If there was an open shot like this and he couldn't make a shot, Cole wouldn't curse.
Because this is within the scope of Thompson's abilities.
Thompson has excellent scoring ability. Once he finds his rhythm, there is basically no defense that can limit him.
On the defensive end, Thompson is also the team's defensive leader. Although he is often beaten, he is still the main defender against Zhao Chen.
In general, Thompson is a player who takes "off-ball play" to the extreme.
But it is precisely because of his "no ball" that he has no way to control the ball and connect the entire team. And to a certain extent, he needs teammates to open up space for Thompson and attract defense, so that he can Can score more easily.
Thompson does not have the ability to attack independently.
Next round.
Zhao Chen lobbed the ball to Kobe in the low post, and Kobe hit Curry.
After a series of steps, Kobe chose to turn over and lean back.
Curry's rhythm and steps were all right, but he couldn't block Kobe's retreat.
Picturesque pose!
Gorgeous arc!
"Uh-huh!"
8 to 5.
Kobe nodded towards Zhao Chen.
Kobe doesn't have many opportunities to play in the post like this, but he will seize it.
Kobe knew his role well, and what he did on the court was to try his best not to hold back.
Warriors attack.
This time it was Thompson cutting inside.
Thompson's running is very active, and his positioning does not rely on speed, but various skills.
Rose was shaken off again.
Thompson received Curry's pass and made an easy layup.
8 to 7.
"Mine!" Rose told his teammates that the ball was his responsibility.
When it comes to guarding players without the ball, Rose sometimes can't keep up.
The Lakers didn't have a player to blame Rose.
Zhao Chen shouted to Ross, "It doesn't matter."
Lakers offense.
Rose broke through and passed the ball to Zhao Chen.
Zhao Chen continued to break through and gave it to Kobe in the corner!
Kobe had a small gap, and he raised the knife and dropped it!
"Uh-huh!"
11 to 7.
On the Lakers side, Zhao Chen led the scoring, while on the Warriors side, Thompson was the main RBI pointer.
Today's Thompson is like taking drugs. He can score three-pointers with all kinds of moves and top-ups. Thompson's touch is so hot.
The score between the two sides has been deadlocked.
With 2 minutes and 43 seconds left in the first quarter, the two sides were tied at 25-25.
The Lakers rotated, with Kobe and Tucker, Booker and A-Lian on the court.
On the Warriors' side, Curry and Iguodala went off the court, and Livingston and Bogut came on.
After Booker came up, Zhao Chen called him over.
Zhao Chen said: "Later, you will focus on defending Klay, focus on defending his three-pointers, don't steal, pay attention to your defensive position."
Booker nodded.
The Lakers are trying different ways to defend Thompson.
Zhao Chen also tried to defend against it, but the effect was average.
Thompson is so awesome today.
Overall, tonight's game was smooth and the Warriors showed their tenacity in not wanting to lose.
The overall feel of the Warriors stars is very good, especially Thompson. The Lakers tried to widen the point difference many times without success.
Of course, Zhao Chen himself played very easily. He sent passes many times and maintained a hot touch. Under such a rhythm, Zhao Chen did not even feel too much pressure.
After substitutions, the game continues.
Zhao Chen took the ball and pushed it forward.
Zhao Chen's current physical fitness and condition are enough to maintain his efficient output throughout the game.
Scott wanted Zhao Chen to rest, but Zhao Chen refused.
Zhao Chen wanted to get rid of the Warriors directly to avoid any surprises to the team when he was no longer on the court.
Scott is very confident about Zhao Chen, who has the ability to continue output under high-intensity pressure.
It's not okay to play like this in multiple games, but it's okay to play for 48 minutes in one of them at critical moments.
It is still Thompson who mainly focuses on Zhao Chen.
Thompson and Iguodala guard Zhao Chen's main players. Although the defensive effect is not good, there is no one else who can defend better than Cole.
Zhao Chen passed the ball a lot in the first quarter, and Thompson instinctively slacked off on Zhao Chen's personal offense.
Not clinging, just maintaining an intimidating defense.
Zhao Chen started dribbling to adjust his rhythm two meters outside the front three-point line.
After two consecutive back dribbles, Zhao Chen found his rhythm and made a domineering jumper with the rhythm!
The basketball was shot quickly, but Thompson's defense was already slow.
Zhao Chen has now softened his shots and dribbling.
Thompson could only watch the ball fly past him.
Coach Cole on the sidelines was anxious.
Zhao Chen's few shots in the first quarter doesn't mean he won't take any shots.
The rhythm is so smooth.
It's difficult for Thompson to guard such a ball.
This kind of shooting rhythm is also like an open position.
Some fans who came to the Oracle Center were exclaiming.
A basketball travels a long distance in the air.
finally!
"Uh-huh!"
Hole through the mesh.
28 to 25.
Just hit it!
"Zhao Chen, awesome!!"
"I love you!!"
"Zhao Chen, you are so handsome!!"
Female fans are excited.
Zhao Chen's looks surpass those of female Warriors and Lakers fans.
After scoring the goal, Zhao Chen made a move toward Curry, shaking his shoulders and swallowing his teeth.
The Oracle Center suddenly burst into boos.
All Warriors fans thought Zhao Chen was provocative.
Curry smiled awkwardly and inappropriately off the court.
At this moment, Curry realized how much he deserved a beating when doing this set of actions.
