lakers championship

Chapter 268
In order to confirm what Tianyang meant, Wharton asked again: "Do you want to win the game by motivating the whole team to attack and defend?"

"Of course." Tianyang nodded, "Think about it, why do the Warriors always launch a strong attack in the third quarter?"

Cousins ​​and the others naturally understood, but it was obvious that Tianyang wanted to continue, so everyone waited quietly.

"Because they have a strong rotation lineup. Do you still remember the scene in the first game when Durant first sat off the court for a quarter of the game? The strong rotation lineup ensures that the Warriors players will not consume too much energy in the first half. In the third quarter, there will be a wave of attack and defense with all our strength. Many teams cannot keep up physically, and there will be problems in defense and offense. .

Wharton's eyes rolled quickly when he heard the words, "You mean tonight's game, they strengthened their defensive strength in the first quarter, Durant and several other players failed to get enough rest, so..."

The Warriors players are not robots. After three quarters of high-intensity offense and defense, they also consume a lot of energy. It is difficult to reach the level of offense and defense in the first three quarters. Walton pointed out a little bit, and the Lakers players all reacted.

"Let's think about it carefully, how many times did we score behind the Warriors by double digits? How many times did we win in total? 4 times! We won 5 times out of 4 games. As long as we grit our teeth and persist, we will definitely be stronger than them. There is a chance, as long as we win the second game, the Western Conference championship belongs to us!"

After Tianyang's words, the desire for victory appeared on the faces of the Lakers players again. Cousins ​​stretched out his hand first, and the whole team clapped and shouted, regaining their momentum in an instant.

Such a scene fell into the eyes of thousands of fans, and O'Neal's sad face finally showed a little smile, "Very good, the Lakers players have not given up. The 14-point gap, I believe they have a chance to tie."

Kenny: "It's too difficult. If it can be done, unless the god of basketball possesses Tianyang."

Barkley: "I checked the information just now and found that Jordan lost the game with 60 points, and Mr. Elgin Baylor won the game with 60 points. Did you think of anything?"

O'Neill: "It seems that Tianyang only needs to score 60 points to decide to win the game, after all, the Lakers tradition."

……

On the field, the fourth quarter officially started.

Walton replaced Calderon and McGee, and the Warriors kept the starting lineup.

The Warriors attacked first, and Curry took the ball to the frontcourt. The 16-point lead gave him a chance to play steadily.

From left to right, from right to left, Curry lingered continuously at the top of the arc, seemingly deliberately wasting time, and other Warriors players' off-ball running positions were not as active as before.

Seeing this situation, Tianyang was even more sure that the warrior was tired.

After confirming, Tianyang started to attack, Curry dodged the ball, and the two entangled at the top of the arc.

24 seconds passed in a blink of an eye, and Curry finally couldn't bear it, and chose to use Green's pick-and-roll to make a quick shot.

Hit the iron, McGee got the rebound, and Tianyang took the ball to the right wing.

Nick Young stepped forward to cover, Tianyang rushed to the right elbow, handed the ball to Cousins, and ran towards the basket.

The Warriors wanted a 'three-man switch', but Cousins ​​turned around immediately after catching the ball, leaned on Green with his right shoulder and started a three-step layup, crushed with strength, and steadily scored 2 points.

The Warriors attacked, Curry dribbled the ball halfway, paused at the top of the arc, and passed the ball to the right wing.

Durant received the ball and set up a three-threat posture. Ingram raised his right hand high and turned slightly sideways to defend.

Sinking his shoulders and lowering his waist, Durant took a strong step, and directly jumped up and shot.

With a bang, the basketball hit the back edge of the rim, rebounded and flew out.

McGee caught the rebound again, Tianyang caught the ball and rushed to the top of the arc. After a little observation, it was passed to Ingram who slipped to the basket through Nick Young's off-ball screen. Durant and Green flanked one left and one right, but Ingram Choosing to return the basketball, Tianyang who followed up in the middle caught the ball and threw it directly.

'Shua', the basketball went into the net hollow.

The Warriors attacked, and Cole was a little uneasy when he failed to score twice in a row. He got up and walked to the sidelines to wave.

Curry dribbled the ball to the top of the arc, Durant stepped forward to pick and roll, after the Lakers switched defenses, Curry handed over the ball, and Durant singled Cousins.

The same three-threat posture started, and after adjusting the posture with continuous tentative steps, Durant swayed Cousins ​​​​in one step, and strode into the inside line.This breakthrough can be described as clean and neat, and the Oracle Center applauded.

I saw Durant leaping high, flying the ball to the hoop with his right hand, trying to dunk with one hand.

'Bang', McGee burst out suddenly, grabbed the basketball and pushed Durant to the floor at the same time, then snatched the basketball and passed it to Tianyang. The cheers of 2 fans at the scene were stuck in their throats. come out.

Tianyang rushed to the frontcourt single-handedly, dribbled past Curry behind his back, jumped into the paint, and finally made a throw.

Hit again, the Lakers scored 6 points in a row and scored 78 points, with only 10 points left.

Cole frowned several times, but in the end he didn't call a timeout.In his opinion, although the Warriors failed to score in 3 consecutive offenses, except for Curry's shot too late, there was nothing wrong with it. McGee blocked Durant's once-a-year ball, which is unavoidable.But the Lakers chose to play steadily and not grab 3 points, which made him a little scared, because from the point of view, the Lakers did not give up.

The Warriors attacked again, Curry handed the ball in the backcourt, Durant took it to the top of the arc, and handed it to Green.

The two MVPs run without the ball, and there is also a super shooter waiting for an opportunity. The defensive pressure on the Lakers is doubled, but McGee defends Green at the top of the arc, Cousins ​​blocks the low post on the right, and the other three are each in charge of an area, allowing the Warriors to wear flowers With Diexiu's operation, the Lakers still sit firmly on Mount Tai and don't panic.

After running for a while, Durant faced Nick Young on the high post on the right side and had an overall advantage. Green passed the ball immediately.

There were no three threats this time. Durant caught the ball and rushed to the short corner on the right, making a decisive jump and making a mid-range shot.

With a bang, the fans in the audience exclaimed, the Warriors don't recognize their players in the basketball circle?
The rebound flew to the left sideline, and Ingram grabbed it in his hands, turned around and went down quickly.

Tianyang followed up on the right sideline, and the two echoed each other. After rushing through the midfield, Ingram made a long pass for the basketball.

Iguodala lined up on the ball with a palm, but he was not strong enough to change the flight trajectory of the basketball.

Tianyang caught the ball two steps away from the center line, and suddenly shot a super long three-pointer.

The Warriors stopped and joined [-] spectators to watch the basketball fly to the hoop.

'Bang bang bang', the basketball hits the rim back and forth and finally falls.

81 to 88, Cole folded his hands on his chest, took a deep breath, and still did not pause.

The Warriors attacked again, and Iguodala received the ball in the backcourt, and led his teammates forward while directing his teammates to run.

The moment he raised his right hand for the second time, Ingram suddenly lunged for the ball.

He didn't catch it, but the basketball rolled to the backcourt, and Tianyang and Curry rushed up together.

The two bent down at the same time, and Tianyang succeeded, but Durant had already outflanked him.

O'Neill: "Hold on, hold on, boy, hold on, control the rhythm, you have a chance..."

Before he finished speaking, Tianyang threw a three-pointer with his back to the basket.

'Bang bang bang', the basketball bounced back and forth and fell into the hoop again.

With only 4 points left between the two teams, Cole raised his hand to pause.

O'Neal was dumbfounded, "This kid is too ruthless, he played post-up 3-pointers in the Western Conference Finals."

Barkley chuckled, "Tianyang has always been like this, steady and ruthless, otherwise how could it have broken multiple records in a rookie season and directly won the top three MVPs?"

Kenny: "We are going to witness history. SkyOcean has scored 56 points."
