After the timeout, the Lakers replaced Nash and Bynum and replaced Fisher and Odom.
The Warriors also made substitution adjustments, replacing Teacher Tony and Chandler with Clay Thompson and Whiteside.
When Whiteside came on the court, the system prompts sounded in Sun Yi's mind.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for achieving the bond combination [Wild Cat Trident]. The attack and defense attributes are increased by 5%."
After the system voice ended, Sun Yi suddenly felt energetic and had endless energy all over his body.
"Now I can hit ten!" Sun Yi knew this was just an illusion, but he felt so good that he couldn't wait to walk towards the court.
After the timeout, Kobe took the lead and hit a difficult fadeaway jumper against Clay's defense, helping the Lakers break their scoring drought.
Looking back, Sun Yi immediately retaliated, passing Ci Shiping with a very fast first step, breaking through to the mid-range area on the right and hitting a fadeaway jumper.
"Sun's touch is very good. It seems that he will start scoring mode again tonight."
In the commentary box, Barkley said with a smile.
"No, Sun is not only good in touch, Charles, pay attention to his first step."
Kenny Smith looked at the wonderful replay on the big screen and noticed the problem, and reminded Barkley next to him.
After Barkley was reminded, he immediately looked up at the replay on the big screen, and then noticed the details Kenny Smith said.
"Sun's breakthrough speed seems to be getting faster again?!"
Buckley said with an uncertain tone, unable to believe his eyes.
Although Ci Shiping has lost his courage as he has grown older, he is still a strong man who has won the best defensive player. He has excellent defensive awareness and cannot be easily passed.
In this situation, it can only be said that Sun Yi's breakthrough speed was too fast, leaving Ci Shiping with no time to react.
While Barkley and Kenny Smith were discussing, the Lakers' offense failed and the Warriors launched a defensive counterattack.
Sun Yi dribbled the ball to the outside of the three-point line, suddenly made a fake move of praying to Buddha, then accelerated one step past Ci Shiping and rushed into the three-point line.
Ci Shiping stood motionless as if he had been subjected to a restraining spell, watching helplessly as Sun Yi rushed past him.
On the right edge of the penalty area, Gasol immediately returned to the basket to defend.
The advancing Sun Yi broke through to the mid-range area on the left and stopped immediately, hitting another mid-range jump shot.
"I am extremely sure now that Sun's breakthrough speed has indeed improved." Barkley said with great determination.
Although it's hard to believe, it's true.
This only proves that Sun Yi's talent is really abnormal!
"Such an incredible talent was only the No. 6 pick back then. Those scouts were so blind!" Barkley looked at Sun Yi running on the court and couldn't help but feel filled with emotion.
Back on the court, the Lakers attack.
After Kobe ran to the frontcourt, he found Sun Yilai coming to defend him, which immediately aroused a strong desire to win.
"Corvo, can you do it? How about I teach you how to lead your teammates?"
Sun Yi took the initiative and disrupted Kobe's mentality with trash talk.
"You brat, let's see how I deal with you next!"
After hearing this, Kobe couldn't bear it. He immediately entangled Sun Yi fiercely and reached for the ball after getting stuck.
Seeing this, Fisher, who was controlling the ball at the top of the arc, immediately lobbed the ball over.
Kobe Bryant received the pass and turned around, but was blocked by Sun Yi. He was unable to turn around and had no choice but to play with his back.
Sun Yi used his chest to withstand Kobe's impact and refused to take a step back.
"This kid's body is really strong. He really wasn't lazy in the summer." Kobe thought in his heart.
"Corporate, have you lost your strength since you didn't have dinner? Or are you too old to be useful?" Sun Yi continued to talk trash when he saw that Kobe's back-up was less intense.
"You brat, I will use practical actions to silence you!"
Kobe leaned back and immediately shook his shoulders from side to side, then turned around, saw Sun Yi catching up, and quickly faked a shot.
When Sun Yi saw this, he didn't jump up and falter. He quickly defended and raised his arms to interfere with Kobe's vision.
】
Najia lost his best shooting opportunity. Seeing that the attack time was running out, he could only push Sun Yi away with his shoulder and force a fadeaway jumper.
Bang!
The basketball bounced out of the frame and missed!
In the penalty area, Dabai blocked the defensive rebound, found Curry's figure immediately, and passed the ball.
Curry received the pass, quickly advanced toward the frontcourt, and launched a defensive counterattack.
Sun Yi, Kelai and others sprinted towards the Lakers half court from different directions.
The Lakers players quickly rushed back to the penalty area to defend, preventing the Warriors from easily attacking the frame.
Sun Yi, who was on a fast break, received a pass from Curry, rushed into the penalty area from the right to attract the defense, and passed the ball to the left corner.
Kelai rushed to receive the pass and saw that there was no defense. After adjusting, he shot.
"Uh-huh!"
The basketball hit the net and made a steady hit!
There was thunderous applause in the audience, and cheers and shouts resounded throughout the arena.
When it was the Lakers' turn to attack, Kobe did not insist on singles. He knew that trying to break through Sun Yi's defense would consume a lot of energy, and some of the gains would outweigh the losses.
Gasol understood it and immediately stepped forward to pick and roll.
Kobe used the pick-and-roll to get rid of Sun Yi's defense, broke through to the mid-range area on the right side, made an emergency stop and faked a shot to shake Whiteside, then took a step forward and scored a layup.
The Warriors quickly hit the baseline and chased the Lakers.
The Lakers players retreated very quickly, giving the Warriors no chance to play a fast break.
Falling into a positional battle, Sun Yi quickly came out to receive the pass, preparing to face Ci Shiping in singles again.
This time the Lakers defense made adjustments.
When Ci Shiping failed to intercept Sun Yi, Kobe or Odom would immediately rush over to help defend against double teams.
Sun Yi once again accelerated and passed Ci Shiping, rushed into the mid-range area on the right, encountered Odom's defensive double-team, and immediately distributed the ball.
Two or three steps away from the right corner, David Lee received the pass and made a mid-range jumper.
The opportunity came up, but unfortunately I couldn't hit it.
The Lakers protected the backcourt rebound and launched a defensive counterattack.
Kobe, who was on a fast break, received a long pass from Gasol, came to the left three-point line, pulled up against Thompson's defense, and hit a three-pointer.
The Warriors immediately served to counterattack. Sun Yi received the pass and accelerated across the half court. When his teammates had an opportunity, he accurately threw the ball to the basket.
He rushed to the Lakers penalty area and jumped into the air. He dunked the basketball into the basket with both hands.
The Lakers also quickly sent baseline passes and responded immediately.
Kobe received the pass and accelerated the dribble to near the free throw line, attracting the Warriors' defense and then hit the ball to the right.
Odom, who cut into the penalty area from the right, received the pass, escaped David Lee's interference, and scored a layup.
In the next few rounds, both sides scored points, but the point difference could not be widened.
When the first quarter lasted about 8 minutes, the Warriors took Sun Yi off the court to rest as usual.
The Lakers thought that after Sun Yi came off the court, they could take the opportunity to close the point difference, but their calculation was wrong.
Without Sun Yi on the court, Curry did his best to complete his task.
Not only can he score, but he can also drive his teammates to score. The Warriors' offense did not stagnate because of Sun Yi's dismissal.
Although the Lakers' plan went bankrupt, under the leadership of Kobe, the Lakers' offense remained smooth and did not allow the point difference to further widen.
At the end of the first quarter, the score displayed on the big screen was 26 to 34, with the Warriors leading by 8 points.
