Warriors attack.
Curry initiated.
Zhao Chen was blocked by Bogut and Green at the same time, and Curry burst in.
Harrell, who was assisting in defense, was directly shaken away.
Then Curry met U.S. Lian's block and succeeded with a high throw.
41 to 34.
Zhao Chen's defense is very strong, but Curry and Thompson scored high points every time.
The main reason is that these two people rarely have one-on-one time with Zhao Chen.
Basically, they were avoiding Zhao Chen. Every time he faced Zhao Chen, there was always a pick-and-roll.
However, they themselves are not the kind of one-on-one players, which also causes Zhao Chen to be unable to exert his strength on the defensive end many times.
In addition to Zhao Chen's defense posing a threat to Curry and Thompson, it is also difficult for other Lakers players to defend them. Curry and Thompson are also very confident when facing other players besides Zhao Chen, which also leads to The Splash Brothers' scores remain high.
Defending a splash is never a matter of one person, it requires a team effort.
Kobe has also pointed out many times that the Lakers are very strong, but there is still a lot of room for improvement. The way to improve is to improve the defensive intensity.
"Keep your mark, switch defenses infinitely, don't stand in a dead position." Zhao Chen told his teammates to change their defense.
Everyone nodded.
Lakers offense.
Zhao Chen pushed forward.
Zhao Chen went to the frontcourt, and Harrell and Ah Lian came up to cover at the same time.
Bull horn tactics.
Zhao Chen moved sideways, then rushed in, and was surrounded by three people.
Zhao Chen slipped the ball through the gap and passed it to Harrell who was blocking the pass.
Harrell caught the ball and jumped into the air. Bogut on one side wanted to come back, but couldn't keep up and dunked with both hands! !
43 to 34.
Warriors attack.
Curry still wants to use a pick-and-roll to beat Zhao Chen this round.
But Zhao Chen bypassed Bogut's pick-and-roll screen and pursued Curry.
Curry didn't notice that Zhao Chen was chasing him, so he made an emergency stop in the middle distance.
Zhao Chen appeared from behind.
It is easy to call a foul when blocking a shot from behind, but Zhao Chen took the ball very cleanly and there was no possibility of being called a foul.
The risked ball was caught by Ah Lian, who gave the ball to Zhao Chen.
Zhao Chen dribbled the ball and sprinted into the frontcourt.
A change of direction passed Thompson, leaning on Green to make a sharp turn.
Then he took a step to collect the ball. When everyone thought Zhao Chen would attack the frame, Zhao Chen smashed the ball to the right corner.
who?
Arab League!
Arab League has been preparing there for a long time.
Ah Lian received Zhao Chen's pass. There was no one two meters in front of him, so he calmed down!
Raise your hand and shoot a three-pointer!
"Uh-huh!"
46 to 34.
The Lakers once again opened the point difference to double digits.
Fans at Oracle Center felt a sense of oppression.
Zhao Chen obviously felt great today, but he didn't keep scoring by himself, but kept assisting his teammates.
This makes the situation look like the entire Lakers team is firmly suppressing the Warriors.
Next, the Warriors continued to try to chase points. Although their offense was very explosive, the Lakers' offense was not inferior at all.
Although Zhao Chen is always on the court, he does not hold the ball in every round. Sometimes, he will take the initiative to give the ball to Rose, using himself as a containment point.
To play the full 48 minutes, you need to paddle when necessary.
As long as Zhao Chen is on the court, he can attract the defensive attention of more than two people, which gives the other Lakers more confidence to attack.
However, after the second half of the second quarter began, the other Lakers players began to feel worse, and the Warriors strengthened their momentum in chasing points.
By the time there was 1 minute and 56 seconds left in the second quarter, the score between the two sides reached 58-52.
The Lakers' lead was eroded to 6 points.
After Scott called a halt to the game and returned, Zhao Chen took over the Lakers' offense again.
The Lakers have taken the main team, and the Warriors have also rotated personnel.
Zhao Chen advanced to the frontcourt.
First to Jokic at the free throw line.
Jokic holds the ball not to attack himself, but to provide support for Zhao Chen.
Zhao Chen wanted to get into the inside position, but there were too many people inside, so he couldn't get in.
Zhao Chen pressed down Iguodala and Jokic from the high post on the right to get the ball.
Jokic gave the ball to Zhao Chen.
Zhao Chen took the ball and felt Iguodala's center of gravity.
In order to prevent Zhao Chen from turning over and falling back, Iguodala pushed forward very far.
Zhao Chen took advantage of the situation and turned around to pass Iguodala.
Attack the inside line and take three steps directly.
Green and Bogut guarded Zhao Chen and sent the ball to Jokic who was downhill.
But Zhao Chen didn't pass the ball anymore. Zhao Chen took off into the air, leaped high, grabbed the ball with one hand, and slammed the ball into the basket through Green and Bogut.
The Warriors' two insiders have always been tough, but now they can only feel aggrieved like the angry little daughter-in-law!
Zhao Chen's impact was too strong, and there would be no good outcome if he faced it.
"frame"
Zhao Chen smashed the ball into the basket through Bogut and Green! !
60 to 52.
"Whoa whoa whoa!"
"It's not enough for Zhao Chen to dunk one person, but now he has to dunk two."
"That's awesome, Zhao Chen!"
"Poor Bogut and Green."
"These two tough guys could only feel aggrieved after meeting Zhao Chen."
Bogut and Green looked at each other, a little ashamed.
In this critical G6, when they encountered such an impact from Zhao Chen, they actually wanted to hide immediately.
Curry glanced at the two of them.
Warriors fans who saw this scene clearly even shouted at them: "Toughen up, don't let them dunk like that."
Steve Kerr on the sidelines was also furious!
What is such an insider going to do?
Warriors attack.
Curry and Green's pick-and-roll.
After the pick-and-roll, Curry wanted to hit the ball to Green, but Zhao Chen saw through it and Zhao Chen directly reached out to intercept it!
Stealed.
Thompson next door had quick eyesight and quick hands, and immediately hugged Zhao Chen to prevent Zhao Chen from speeding up!
"Beep!"
Lakers sideline ball!
Zhao Chen took Jokic's serve and went to the frontcourt.
Without any hesitation, start the breakthrough immediately.
He accelerated directly past Curry on the right side. Thompson wanted to block Curry's pursuit.
Zhao Chen turned around and passed by, hitting the inside line. Bogut and Green gritted their teeth and prepared to give Zhao Chen a good look.
But when the two of them jumped up to attack, Zhao Chen sent the ball underhand to Ross who came in from the air.
Rose was in a gap. Rose was very excited and took the ball and smashed it with one hand!
"frame!"
It's just that there was some physical confrontation between the ball and Bogut on one side, and Rose dunked it!
The basketball falls.
Zhao Chen plucked green onions from the crowd and used faster reaction and bounce to quickly hit the basketball at the high point of its descent.
No waiting for landing.
Bogut and Green were still on the rise, and Zhao Chen took advantage of the situation and hit the dunk again!
Both of them instinctively covered their chests with their arms.
"frame!!"
Once again, Zhao Chen completed the slam dunk between the two of them! !
This time it was even more exaggerated. He got an offensive rebound over the two of them and dunked the ball directly.
Zhao Chen regarded the Warriors' two big insiders as if they were nothing.
After landing, Zhao Chen yelled at Bogut and Green: "Go home early and hug your wife and kids to watch me play the finals."
