Chapter 403 The words are true
As O'Neal said, as the second half of the game progressed, the SkyOcean and LeBron teams were more cautious and creative in passing than before, more reasonable and regulated in shooting than before, and worked harder in defense than before. more aggressive.

Even after Tianyang and LeBron and other starting players took a rest, the game still maintained a high level. Butler, Oladipo, and Westbrook formed a trident, scoring consecutive points from inside and outside. Horford, Towns, Ah The three of Germany formed an iron triangle, with three-pointers, layups, blocks, steals, and mid-range shots.

The two teams also took the lead alternately. You chased and I was on par. The Tianyang team hit a three-pointer, and the LeBron team responded with a layup. It was so exciting that it was like a collection of offense and defense. , waves of cheers followed.

But the same thing is that the physical strength of the players on both teams has declined to varying degrees, and the shooting percentage from the outside has gradually decreased. The LeBron team began to expand the point difference by relying on more inside offenses, even reaching double digits at one point.

In a blink of an eye, the game progressed to the last 2 minutes of the fourth quarter, and the Tianyang team fell behind Team LeBron 131 to 140.

Walton requested a timeout, and players from both sides returned to the bench to discuss.

In the TNT live broadcast room.

O'Neill folded his hands on his chest: "It's almost the same as our previous prediction. It depends on whether Tianyang and the others can quickly approach the score when they come back this time, otherwise there will be no fight."

Kenny shook his head slightly, and said with some regret: "Actually, in this game, apart from the period from the last 3 minutes of the first quarter to the last 3 minutes of the second quarter, the SkyOcean team played perfectly at other times. Look, they don't rely too much on threes, DDM tactics are their main offensive method."

Barkley nodded and said: "At this time, they need three points instead, and it is difficult to get them back by playing conventionally."

During the conversation between the three, the timeout ended and the game between the two teams continued.

The lineup of the two teams is exactly the same as at the beginning of the third quarter. Tianyang faced LeBron, Curry faced Durant, Thompson faced Towns, Harden faced Green, George faced Davis, and it looked like It's the last 2 minutes of the decisive battle.

...

George serves from the bottom line, Tianyang catches the ball and takes it to the right wing, Curry steps forward to make a pick-and-roll; Durant switches defenses, Tianyang dribbles to the top of the arc, Curry runs back without the ball to get rid of LeBron and cuts to the basket; Tianyang After hitting the ground and passing the ball, Curry received the ball and feigned a layup. Towns gave up Thompson and moved laterally from the left low corner to the basket to defend; Curry passed the ball, and Thompson received the ball and pretended to shoot. Pass the ball to Harden who crouched on the left wing.

Harden got the ball, and there were only 24 seconds left in the 3-second attack time. Durant, who was originally at the top of the arc, stepped forward to interfere.

The form is urgent!In the past, Harden would step back and shoot a three-pointer, but this time he passed the ball to the top of the arc without haste.

Tianyang received the ball, and at the last second, he calmly made a three-pointer.

Swish!The basketball went into the net hollow, the score was 134 to 140.

The fans at the scene cheered loudly!

O'Neal shook his head: "LeBron made a mistake, probably because he didn't expect Curry to make an air cut to the inside. After Curry entered the inside, it triggered a chain reaction, and the SkyOcean team executed every link in place and seized it calmly. second chance."

As soon as the words fell, the Tianyang team had already started to press the audience.

LeBron's knowledge was not good, and he directly lowered his shoulders and lowered his waist, as if starting a tank, pushing forward to the frontcourt.Tianyang couldn't stop him, so he could only keep up with him and concentrate on preventing him from passing the ball.But LeBron is LeBron. After rushing to the right wing, he made an emergency stop and turned sideways, using his huge size advantage to pass the ball to the top of the arc.

Durant received the ball and decisively put on a three-threat posture. Towns stepped forward to do a pick-and-roll, and Harden hurriedly switched defenses.

According to what Barkley said, the strongest offense plays the weakest defense, but Durant didn't care about it. He first turned sideways to protect the ball on his right waist, and then strode to the right to break through.

Harden moved laterally to intercept, and Durant slowed down a little in order to change direction.

For a moment, Tianyang resolutely gave up on LeBron and stepped forward to double-team, but Durant reacted quickly enough, turned his back to Harden, held the ball with both hands and pushed it towards the alien, and the basketball flew straight into LeBron's hands.

Pull-ups, three-pointers, wide-open opportunities, LeBron has no reason to pass the ball.

Clang, the sound of iron strikes sounded, Davis got the offensive rebound, and decisively dunked on the spot!

It's a pity that he only danced halfway, and George hugged him down.

The referee blew his whistle, called George for a foul, and gave Davis two free throws.

This is a common and reasonable choice. At the end of the fourth quarter, instead of losing two points, it is better to use fouls to bet that the opponent will miss two free throws.

Davis stood at the free throw line, and the fans actually started booing.

Kenny sighed with a 'tsk tut': "Los Angeles is really Tianyang's home."

Dang, the first penalty was struck, and the fans applauded.

Dang, the second free throw was also struck, and the fans cheered.

Davis was so angry that he rushed to the basket, ready to grab another offensive rebound, but after all, the Tianyang team had three people under the basket, Thompson blocked him, Harden blocked Green, and finally George got the rebound, and the reincarnation was a Remember the long biography.

Tianyang received the ball and flew forward. Curry followed up on the right sideline at the same time.LeBron, Durant, and Towns are chasing wildly. The former is in charge of Tianyang, and the latter two are in charge of Curry.

Seeing that the form was not good and passing the ball was easy to make mistakes, Tianyang put his head down and accelerated.

After rushing to the left elbow, Tianyang made an emergency stop, but LeBron also braked in time.

When the plan failed, Tianyang retreated decisively, but LeBron still blocked the shot head-on, so he could only fall back.

After the basketball was released, it flew towards the hoop at high speed, hit the hoop with a bang and rebounded, but fortunately it finally fell into it.

136 to 140!At this point, the game is over, with 1 minute and 10 seconds left.

Coach Casey stood up and called a timeout, and Team LeBron returned to the court.

Casey beckoned the players to gather, and shouted emphatically: "From now on, we will give up shooting three-pointers and maximize our advantage in the interior, so that they understand what it means to be unstoppable!"

On the Lakers bench, Walton said with a smile: "We need to maximize the small ball. Butler, you replace George. We completely abandon conventional defense and only use pressing to interfere with them!"

The 75-second timeout ended quickly, and the match between the two teams continued.

LeBron rushed the ball to the right wing and raised his hand to signal the team to disperse.

Tianyang thought that he was going to make a strong attack, so he quickly signaled his teammates to adjust their positions and prepare to double-team at any time.

Seeing this situation, Butler hurriedly switched defenses with Harden, but he never thought that the basketball flew into the hands of Downs in the low post in the blink of an eye.

A teammate hit a teammate, and the fans at the scene watched this scene cutely, and immediately stood up and applauded!

Towns originally received the ball in the area he is most used to, and he was misplaced, taking advantage of his height and body shape, and there was no reason to pass the ball out.

So, Towns started to hit back and beat Butler.

For a moment, without moving.

Twice, but also did not move.

Three times, still no push!

The atmosphere suddenly became embarrassing, and some fans on the scene started laughing. Towns was in a hurry, and accidentally dribbled the ball to his feet, and the basketball rolled out of bounds.

The referee blows the whistle and the ball belongs to the Tianyang team.

Barrett beat his chest and roared angrily. The SkyOcean players recalled what he said during the photo session before: "I want to go inside too. I assure you, Towns can't stand me. He can't play the ball under my defense!"

What Butler said is true!
　Tomorrow the Lakers will play the Rockets, and it's time to test the true strength of the Lakers.
