Chapter 357 Are You Kidding?
The Warriors attacked, Green served from the baseline, Curry took the ball forward, Durant and Rooney moved to the right half, leaving only Thompson in the left half.

Curry ran across the center line, sprinted suddenly, rushed to the left wing and stopped and raised his hand, but instead of shooting, he passed the ball to Thompson who ran back and cut the basket.

Tianyang reacted quickly enough, and reposted it with a sliding step, but Thompson did not take the ball after receiving the ball, but passed it to the right half.

Durant received the ball, took two steps towards the hoop, and forced a dunk.

Ingram jumped up and pulled Durant down abruptly, and the referee whistled instantly.

This is a tactical foul. The Lakers team had already discussed it before the game. When encountering this kind of ball that may make the Warriors gain momentum, they must not hesitate to foul and block it. Ingram succeeded and did not accompany the penalty.

Durant got to the free-throw line, booed all over Staples Center, and still made two free throws.

The Lakers attacked, Rondo waited for the ball at the top of the arc, and Curry reached out to interfere.

In about two seconds, the Lakers lineup was fully deployed, only Randall was left under the basket, and Rondo passed the ball immediately.

Randall took the ball from the low position on the right side, leaning on Rooney to face the frame, but he didn't pay attention, the basketball was dribbled to his feet, and the bullet flew to the free throw line.

Green pushed Kuzma away, rushed to pick it up, and the Warriors counterattacked.

The Lakers hurried back to defense, and Kobe shook his head on the bench.

Curry dribbles across the halfway line, hovering back and forth waiting for his opportunity.

Green blocked Tianyang, Curry blocked Rondo, Thompson ran back and cut to the basket, received a pass from Green and scored an easy layup.

Cole put his hands on his hips and grinned at Walton, as if to say: So what if you foul twice in a row, get an assist and score immediately, everything is under my control!

Wharton curled his lips helplessly, not ignoring Cole, but worrying about Kuzma.

It's not his fault that Kuz didn't grab the ball in front of the polo. After all, Randall made a low-level mistake and the incident happened suddenly, but now he missed someone, and it was the second time he missed someone, which shows that his attention was too distracted.

Randall may also be aware of this problem, and deliberately patted Kuzma on the shoulder before retreating to the bottom line to serve.

Rondo took the ball to the top of the arc, raised his hand to signal the team to disperse, Tianyang took the initiative to reach out for the ball.

If it were someone else, Rondo might hesitate, but Tianyang reached out and he passed the ball immediately.

Tianyang caught the ball at 45 degrees on the left side, faced Thompson and began to dribble the ball under the crotch. After three consecutive shots, he suddenly took a step back to shoot, but the movement was relatively slow and not in a normal rhythm. The purpose was to lure Thompson to make a shot.

Sure enough, Thompson chased and blocked the shot, and Tianyang waited until the moment of contact before pressing the ball.

The goal was scored at the whistle, and it was scored 3+1, which caused Thompson's third foul.

The fans at the scene were extremely excited. There were strong men dancing passionately, couples embracing warmly, and children waving happily. Just because Thompson fouled three times, for the Lakers, it was equivalent to winning the game.

Cole shook his head again and again, turned around and waved at the bench Iguodala, gritted his teeth and replaced Thompson.

Tianyang made an additional penalty and the Lakers led 8-4.

The Warriors attacked, Curry dribbled the ball to the top of the arc, and Rondo squatted to defend.

After Curry's continuous probing, it may feel too difficult to shoot. He turned around and gave the ball to Durant, then ran to the left, and Green made an off-ball screen on the sideline, clearing the entire right half.

Such an action clearly wanted to create space for Durant to play singles. Randall hurriedly shrunk to the inside, but Rooney forcibly stopped him, leaving only Kuzma on the inside of the Lakers.

Durant gets the ball, abandons all fancy moves, and dribbles straight to the short corner on the right.Ingram could keep up, but was swayed by Durant's first fast and then slow rhythm.

Kuzma moved sideways to defend, and Durant jumped up as soon as he raised his hand. Not to mention the miserly point, he also asked Durant to get up and make a foul, and sent a 2+1 abruptly.

On the sidelines, Worthy shook his head slightly: "Kuzma's performance in the past 2 minutes was too poor. It was completely a defensive black hole. Let's see how Wharton makes adjustments. If it doesn't work, he can only change the field like Thompson."

Jamison: "At first I thought he lacked enthusiasm, but now it doesn't seem to be the case. I hope Walton or his teammates can point out his problems."

Durant stood on the free throw line and made an additional free throw. The Warriors chased 7 to 8, but Walton did not make a substitution.

The Lakers attacked, Rondo dribbled the ball to the top of the arc, and handed it to Tianyang.

Ingram stepped forward to pick and roll, Tianyang dribbled to the left, and Durant switched defenses.

Considering that the opponent had just scored 2+1, Tianyang decided to single Durant. He waved his hand to signal the audience to open, and the fans stood up and cheered.

I saw Tianyang quickly changing hands and dribbling the ball under his crotch, and the shaky Durant kept adjusting his face. After 5 consecutive times, Tianyang suddenly received the ball and took off in a two-stage shooting movement.

Durant jumped up to block the shot, and Tianyang was at the apex of the limit, pressing the ball with his index and middle fingers.

The basketball spun at high speed and flew towards the hoop, spun back and forth on the hoop several times before falling into it with some reluctance.

3 points scored, the Lakers lead 11 to 7, the fans cheered loudly, Kobe also led the Lakers to stand up and applaud, Carter nodded and praised frequently with thumbs up.

This ball is too extreme. Tianyang is 196cm tall, and Durant is at least 210+cm tall. He also has the advantage of wingspan. Tianyang is completely dancing on the tip of the knife, and any mistake in the link will be blocked.

The Warriors attacked again, and Curry advanced with the ball from the right sideline.

Just after the center line, Rooney and Green set up double screens for him. Curry took the opportunity to dribble the ball to the top of the arc, then passed the ball to Iguodala on the right and left wing, and then returned to the left.

The same operation as before, also clears the right half.

Iguodala held the ball with both hands, lobbed it to Green in the elbow area on the right, and cut to the basket by himself.

Green first turned his back to Kuzma, then turned around and opened the distance to face the frame to hold the ball, pretending to attack, but actually passed the ball to Iguodala.

Another Kuzma defensive error, he should choose to post it immediately, and can't let Green pass the ball so comfortably.

Fortunately, SkyOcean had already predicted and reached out to cut off the pass, but under Iguodala's interference, he failed to catch the ball in his hands, and the basketball rolled to the outside line and fell into Durant's hands.

Durant bent over and shoulders, strode to the left to break through, and Ingram moved laterally to intercept.

At the same time, Rooney used Curry's cover on the sideline to run back to the low position on the left.

Durant made an emergency stop and hit the ground to pass the ball to Rooney, but Rondo had quick eyes and quick hands, and slapped the basketball with his palm.

Rooney was unstable with the ball and hurriedly passed it to Curry on the baseline, and Randall stepped forward to intercept it.

With only 2 seconds left in the attack time, Curry adjusted his posture with a dribble and forced a throw.

After hitting the iron, Rondo grabbed a rebound and the Lakers launched a counterattack.

Players from both teams quickly rushed to the frontcourt. Rondo made an emergency stop and raised his hands facing the right corner, but in fact he passed the ball without looking at the person, and made a strange long pass to Kuzma in the left elbow.

At this time, the Warriors have only Durant under the basket, and they are still facing the top of the arc. Kuzma has a chance to play well!
Unexpectedly, Kuzma hesitated between shooting and layup, and Durant quickly posted it.

The opportunity was gone, and he returned to the positional battle. After some running, Ingram shot the iron.

The Warriors launched a counterattack, Green made a long pass to Curry, Curry then passed to Durant, Durant scored 2 points for a layup.

Wharton called a timeout. He didn't wait for the Lakers to leave the field, but went directly into the field to talk about tactics, as if he wanted to seize every second.

Kobe rushed in with him, and Kobe rushed to Kuzma and shouted:

"what are you doing?"

"What have you been playing these few rounds?"

"You can't defend, you can't attack, what do you need?"

"Didn't you say you want to be a President Hill player?"

"With your behavior, are you kidding me?"
