Chapter 557 Home Field Advantage
However, the Warriors' offense seemed a little awkward. Since Klay Thompson didn't feel good today, and Curry was stared at by Ye Xuan, all their offensive pressure was on Durant. , Looking back, they finally started to give the ball to Durant for singles, and the Lakers' defensive strategy is also very simple. Solomon Hill leads the defense on the outside. If you want to break through, then we will double-team. And if you want to pull up and shoot when someone is defending from the outside, then you can do whatever you want. If you can keep going in this shooting method, then we will recognize it.

And Durant's black fans on the scene did not give him a chance to relax the pressure. He originally shouldered the heavy responsibility of the team's offensive end. As a result, behind the basket facing the ear to attack the ear, there was a big Westbrook. Avatar, written in letters next to the avatar, the Thunder's only All-Star player.This made Durant, who has been the boss of the Thunder for nine years, feel very uncomfortable.It can also be seen from this that in the playoffs, the home court advantage is still very important. In fact, in the sixth game of the Western Conference semifinals, the pressure caused by the home atmosphere of the Pelicans on the Warriors can be seen. Come out, which is why all teams will fight hard for home court advantage in the playoffs.

Durant was attacking with the ball. After seeing the head portrait, he also shook his hands. After this breakthrough, the mid-range shot hit the iron again. Gasol received the rebound and immediately handed the ball to Ye Xuan. Ye Xuan immediately Then the horn of the Lakers' counterattack was sounded, and after quickly advancing to the front court, he continued to break through two steps inward, and then suddenly sent the ball to the side. Iguodala's foul.Going to the free throw line and making two free throws, the Lakers further expanded their lead.

Just when the Lakers were about to seize the opportunity of the opponent's ignorance to further expand the score, Curry stepped forward on the Warriors' side, taking advantage of the opportunity that Ye Xuan did not defend closely after the serve from the backcourt, and against Green's Under the pick-and-roll, he quickly seized the opportunity to force a three-pointer, and his sight was still very good, and he hit the three-pointer steadily.

This three-pointer also helped the Warriors barely stabilize the situation on the scene. After all, if they miss consecutive shots, it is very likely that the Lakers will seize the opportunity to directly expand the score to double digits.And after Curry hit the three-pointer, the Lakers' offensive rhythm also slowed down. When Ye Xuan came to the frontcourt with the ball again and prepared to force a single, the Warriors' defensive rotation had already been settled, and Ye Xuan forced a breakthrough. After Iguodala, he bumped into Green who was coming to fill his position. If Ye Xuan hadn't rushed to the brakes and shot a fallback jumper, he would have been called an offensive foul by Green, and this time the shot seemed a bit forced. After a few bounces on the basket, it finally bounced out. This was also the first round in which the Lakers failed to score after the start.

The Warriors immediately started a counterattack. Durant grabbed the rebound and quickly advanced towards the Lakers halfcourt. Serving from the sideline, after Iguodala passed the ball to Green, he began to run wildly. Curry suddenly pulled out halfway, and then used Iguodala, who was running over, to perform an off-ball screen, and then quickly to the Running to the bottom corner, Ye Xuan had no choice but to give up Curry and go after Iguodala, while Curry left it to Solomon Hill to defend.

In the end, Green chose to pass the ball to Curry, and Curry did not live up to the trust of his teammates. After catching the ball, he bluffed Solomon Hill with a feint, and then made two breakthroughs inwards, and then took two throws. In an instant, the point difference was reduced to three points.

At this time, the Lakers actually needed to call a timeout to adjust, but Walton Jr. did not call a timeout, and Kobe and others sitting next to him obviously did not think of calling a timeout, probably because these two people had both Maybe it's because of the players under the fake monk Phil Jackson, but luckily there is also a team brain like Ye Xuan on the court.

After controlling the ball to the frontcourt, Ye Xuan immediately changed the team's tactics. After calling Randall to perform a pick-and-roll, Ye Xuan broke through two steps inward, and then gave the ball to Rand who was waiting outside. Er, then Randall also pulled up decisively and shot directly. Durant, who was defending Randall, went directly to chase Ye Xuan, so no one could interfere with Randall's shooting. I have been around for more than a season, and now Randall's open three-point shooting percentage can barely be seen, and this ball also made him make it.

In the next few rounds, the shooting percentages of the two teams began to become more normal, and the rhythm of the game also began to change to the kind of anxious alternating goals. The first quarter soon reached the second. In 9 minutes, the Lakers started to make substitutions. They replaced all four players except Ye Xuan, and replaced them with Speights and others.

The Warriors also started personnel adjustments. They replaced Durant, Curry and Klay Thompson, and replaced them with David West and Livingston.The game continued. The Lakers obviously wanted to play a good game at home, so they didn't replace Ye Xuan. After the timeout, the Lakers served from the sideline.

Ye Xuan is the only main offensive point in this lineup, so the Warriors have become more stringent against him, but the Lakers' lineup has another advantage, that is, although Ye Xuan is the only offensive point with the ball, But their lineup is not afraid of the opponent's double-teaming, because almost everyone on the field has shooting ability, especially Nick Young. Under the influence of Ye Xuan, Yang Shaoxia's shooting rate has become more and more stable. Now In terms of the efficiency of the three-pointer, although he may not be as strong as a super three-pointer such as Klay Thompson, he will definitely not be worse than Eric Gordon's three-pointer.

This round was the cooperation between Ye Xuan and Nick Young. Ye Xuan used the cover of Speights to break through to the inside. Livingston rushed over to cover the defense immediately, and Green also came over to double-team. Ye Xuan passed the ball without looking at people, and sent the ball from Green's waist to beyond the three-point line. Yang Shaoxia caught the ball and made a three-pointer, making a steady hit.

On the other hand, the offense of the Warriors is a bit more embarrassing, because their hand feeling is indeed a little bit worse today. David West first caught the ball in the interior and prepared to single Speights. , had no choice but to turn around and take a fallback jumper, but unexpectedly, Ye Xuan who jumped out from the side directly blocked the ball from his hand and stole the ball, and this time Ye Xuan took advantage of the situation and pushed a fast break, the only thing that could interfere with Ye Xuan. Xuan's was Livingston who was near the top of the arc just now, but it was still too difficult for him to defend against Ye Xuan's fast attack. Ye Xuan completed the overtaking in less than a second, and then easily got on The basket completed the fast break.

In the next few rounds, the Warriors' offense did not make any progress, except that Green hit a two-pointer, and then Livingston scored two free throws, and the Warriors were replaced in the main force. In the next few minutes, no more points were scored, and the Lakers, under the leadership of Ye Xuan, played a wave of 3:11 in less than 4 minutes.

At the end of the first quarter, Ye Xuan has helped the Lakers gain a 12-point lead. The Warriors' 24 points in a single quarter cannot be said to be too low, but compared with the Lakers' 36 points in a single quarter, it still pales in comparison. , and Ye Xuan played 14 minutes in the first quarter, scored 6 points, 3 assists, 2 rebounds and 14 steals, which really made the Warriors a little scared, because they also experienced it in the regular season. After Ye Xuan's runaway form, although Ye Xuan is not in the scoring form now, he has already scored [-] points. This is not good news for the Warriors.

The second quarter started quickly. The Lakers temporarily replaced Ye Xuan to rest, and then replaced Wade, while the Warriors quickly replaced Curry to play for a while. After all, Curry can avoid Ye Xuan, there is not much time to play steadily.And Curry played relatively well without the restriction of Ye Xuan, and Curry is also one of the few players in the Warriors with a good touch. During the 3 minutes when Ye Xuan was replaced to rest Here, Curry hit two three-pointers and one two-pointer by himself. Although the point difference did not shrink much because of Wade's two consecutive breakthroughs and a mid-range shot, it still helped the Warriors stabilize their position. , and then the Warriors replaced Klay Thompson, Durant and others.

At this time, the main players of the two teams came back one after another, and it was just in the middle of the second quarter. The posture of the two teams opened up seemed to be the final decisive battle, but at this time Ye Xuan cleverly used himself Their home court advantage, first forced a breakthrough and caused Klay Thompson's second foul, and then successfully intercepted a cross pass from Green when the opponent was attacking, and tricked the chasing defender again when he was about to go down. Klay Thompson's foul, in fact, these two balls belonged to Ye Xuan who took the initiative to find them. The referee may or may not blow the ball, but because it is the home court of the Lakers, the chance of blowing is higher, and Ye Xuan It happened to be a superstar player again, and the star whistle plus the home whistle directly caused Thompson to commit three fouls in the second quarter when the game was less than halfway through.

Cole didn't dare to make a big deal at this time, so he could only replace Klay Thompson in advance, and then put Ian Clark on top.Ye Xuan went to the free throw line again. Although the game lasted less than 10 minutes, Ye Xuan had already got 7 free throw opportunities. After making the free throws steadily, Ye Xuan's score has quietly Came to 18 points.

The game continued, and the advantage of the Lakers was very obvious. On the one hand, it was because the opponent's touch was indeed a little weak, so the Lakers had always been in the lead. On the other hand, in terms of the number of timeouts, the Lakers The lead is very large, which may also be due to Walton Jr.'s Buddhist coaching, so he rarely calls the kind of timeout that interrupts the opponent's rhythm, so so far in this game, the Lakers have only called a timeout , while the Warriors have already called 3 timeouts.

Of course, there is another most critical problem, that is, the Warriors seem to be in foul trouble now. Except for Durant and Curry, the Warriors have encountered foul trouble. Green is now in two fouls. On the body, Iguodala also fouled twice, Klay Thompson fouled three times and was replaced for a rest, while Durant and Curry did not have trouble with fouls, but they also committed a foul each.

The Warriors had almost 15 fouls in total, while the Lakers had only 7 fouls. This gap in the number of fouls will be more obvious in the third and fourth quarters.This is actually brought about by the Lakers' home court advantage. Originally, the home team would have some advantages in terms of whistle, and the Lakers' tactics today are very aggressive, so it is natural to let the opponent's fouls count. to rise.

After Klay Thompson was replaced, the rhythm of the second quarter fell into the control of the Lakers. Although Klay Thompson's tactical status is not very high in the Warriors, but when it comes to explosive In terms of scoring ability, Klay Thompson is definitely the strongest. Even Curry, who is good at three-pointers, is not as strong as Klay Thompson in terms of scoring explosiveness. Show off in the third quarter and help the Warriors directly overtake in a single quarter. At that time, was Durant's team the Thunder?Otherwise, how could he score 29 points in just 60 minutes in the regular season this season?There is also a performance of 37 points in a single quarter, which is also very surprising.

And after Klay Thompson was forced to replace it, it would be very difficult for the Warriors to chase points like crazy. Unless Curry can find a way to stagger positions with Ye Xuan at this time, otherwise, he basically can't find it. See too many offensive opportunities, let alone lead the team to achieve a go-ahead.In this embarrassing situation, the Lakers slowly expanded the point difference again. At the end of the second quarter, the Lakers' score had quietly reached 67 points, while the Warriors' score, It just broke through 50 points. The Lakers led by 67 points at halftime 52:[-] and entered the intermission. The audience saw that the home team led by a large score, so they seemed very relaxed.
