Chapter 436 Humans and ghosts are on show, only Durant is being beaten

Because of the need for live TV, according to NBA official regulations, before each game, the head coaches of the two teams need to submit the starting list and activation list to the referee team, and the referee team will make statistical confirmation, otherwise the players will not be able to play the game.

Generally speaking, the submission time will be 2 to 3 hours before the start of the game, so there will often be news that the starting players of the two teams will be reported in advance, but today Wharton deliberately waited until the last-submitted 10 minutes before the game, and also announced before that, The starting five are Rondo, Tianyang, Ingram, Randall, and Lopez.

But in the end, the starting five was very different, and Cole felt confused because of this. He knew that the Lakers hadn't been fooled, and they might turn back, but there was no time to make adjustments right now, so he could only take one step at a time.

However, Cole thinks that Brown is right and can let the players catch Kobe to play.

...

Soon, the pre-match ceremony ended and the two teams officially started playing.

The referee walked to the middle circle of the court and tossed the ball slightly upwards.

McGee reacted faster, whoever took off first, and with the advantage of height and wingspan, first touched the ball and moved back.

Tianyang picked up the basketball and brought it forward, Kobe ran to the left wing, Ingram ran to the right wing, Randle ran to the low post on the left, McGee waited at the top of the arc, and the Lakers' offensive formation was completed in a blink of an eye.

Obviously, the left side is the strong side, and the right side is the weak side. Tianyang dribbled the ball across the half court, used McGee's pick-and-roll to get rid of Durant, and dribbled directly to the right side. At the same time, Ingram also started to go to the basket. run.

The Warriors didn't switch defenses, and Durant stepped back, trying to get around McGee and catch up.

Seeing this, Tianyang decisively pulled the ball back to the top of the arc, accelerated and sprinted two steps to get rid of Rooney, and shot from a wide open 45 degrees to the left.

bass!The basketball wiped the net and made a hollow hit, and the fans cheered and celebrated.

Green retreated to the bottom line to serve, Dulatt took the ball to the right wing, and used Rooney's pick-and-roll to single Kobe.

The fans immediately booed and interfered, but the boos were not over yet. Durant changed direction in front of his body three times in a row, swayed Kobe away strongly, rushed to the three-second zone with big strides, and made an emergency stop to throw a shot!

Snapped!McGee head on big hat!

The basketball flew to the top of the arc, Ingram caught it, turned around and ran wildly, and the fans cheered excitedly.

On the Warriors' side, only Thompson was chasing him, but he was fast enough to not miss a step.

The two got angry together, and Ingram rushed to the basket to force himself up, but Thompson actually pressed a big hand on the basketball and pulled it down abruptly.In this way, Ingram was able to make a layup and was dragged down.

Fortunately, the basketball was not released, and the referee blew his whistle to call for a scrimmage.

Barkley nodded slightly: "Thompson's defense is underestimated. This ball defends very well, with speed and awareness."

The fans at the scene were naturally unhappy with the result and booed decisively, but the referee on duty was Scott Foster, a frequent playoff player, and the other two referees were Tony Brother and ED Mallory. After passing through the battlefield, there is no panic.

According to the referee's instructions, Ingram and Thompson stood at the free throw line, and the other players scattered around the two.

The referee walked to the middle of the free throw line and pushed the ball up with both hands. The two jumped and touched the ball almost at the same time.

The basketball landed at the top of the arc, and Curry was the closest, holding it in his hands.

The fast break failed, and the Warriors took away the players. The fans sighed.

Tianyang, Kobe, and Randall retreated in a three-way "left, center and right" at the same time, intending to lock all of Curry's breakthrough routes, but it was thought that after Curry crossed the center line, he would take two steps and go directly beyond the three. Break up!

boom!The basketball bounced off the board and hit the ring, bumped and bumped, and finally fell into the net.

Kenny raised his arms and cheered like a fan: "Curry three points, number one in the world!"

Indeed, at such an important moment in the Western Conference Finals, how brave, how confident, and how awesome it is to be able to make long-range shots and hit them so unrestrainedly!
Turning to the Lakers to attack, Tianyang dribbled the ball to the top of the arc, waved his hand to reject McGee's pick and roll, and expressed that he would single out Durant!

The fans at the scene stood up and cheered, waving their fists to cheer.

I saw Tianyang dribbled the ball under his crotch and started his hand. After three times in a row, he suddenly turned sideways and accelerated to the left, stepping over Durant and entering the inside line; Traverse to catch up.

The two came to the free throw line with their front and rear feet. Tianyang suddenly stopped and pulled the ball back. Durant was too shaken to brake in time, and flew backwards like a kite with a broken string.Tianyang started again, rushed to the left basket in two steps and took off to shoot.

Durant returned to the defense quickly enough and even jumped, but Tianyang fought well in the air and hit the board steadily to score.

After landing, Tian Yang gestured to the referee, saying that Durant made a foul just now, but the referee ignored it. Instead, Green, who caught the basketball and was about to serve from the bottom line, pushed him.

Naturally, Tianyang refused to accept it and chose to push it back.

Green worked hard and hit Tianyang directly with his elbow.

Seeing this, the fans booed wildly, and the referee blew his whistle to call a technical foul first.

Cole shook his head slightly on the sidelines. Green appealed to the referee with an innocent face, but Foster ignored it. Instead, he called the other two referees to watch the video playback on the technical table to study whether additional malicious fouls were needed.

O'Neal shrugged, "If I were still in the Lakers, Green would not dare to be so arrogant!"

Kenny smiled, "You mean Kobe can't hold back?"

Barkley spread his hands, "COME ON, Durant broke through him so easily just now, of course he can't convince the crowd!"

After the referee's confirmation, Green did not add a malicious foul, and Foster signaled Tianyang to make a free throw.

Amidst the neat, loud and continuous shouts of 'MVP' from the audience, Tianyang stood on the free throw line and made an easy hit!

...

The Warriors attacked again, Green stood on the bottom line and waited for the referee to give the ball, and the fans continued to boo.

Curry took the ball to the top of the arc, Durant and Thompson stepped forward to pick and roll one after another, and finally formed a situation of singles against Kobe.

Dribbling under the crotch, he changed direction ahead of time and then changed hands behind his back. Curry broke through Kobe with difficulty and rushed into the paint.

O'Neal shook his head, "It shouldn't be, my brother, how can anyone break through you?"

Turning to the Lakers to attack, Tianyang dribbled the ball to the top of the arc.

Facing Durant's defense, the Lakers, like the Warriors, used consecutive pick-and-rolls to make Tianyang displace Curry in singles.

Curry does not have an advantage in height and speed, and the conventional defensive effect will definitely not be filled. He seems to understand this. After continuous lateral interception, he directly took a step forward to attack, but Tianyang took advantage of the trend and took a three-pointer. shot.

clang!The basketball hit the back edge of the rim and bounced into the net!
The fans applauded fiercely, but Green quickly retreated to the bottom line and gave the ball to Durant on the center line with a long pass.

Durant handed the ball to Curry, turned around and ran to the left corner, with Rooney covering, slipped from the baseline to the short corner on the right, and made a small off-ball screen with Green and Thompson, and finally in the right elbow Turn your back to Kobe.

At this time, both Tianyang and Ingram have been caught by the Warriors, and Kobe is alone and helpless.

O'Neill put his head in his hands and shouted: "Brother!!!"

Curry passed the ball, and Durant sat back on his butt and stretched out his hands to catch the ball.

Seeing that a dislocation back shot was about to take place, Kobe stuck out his right hand like lightning, slapped the ball off, and knelt down to fight with Durant at the same time. Under the force of four hands, the basketball rolled out of bounds.

The referee blew the whistle and gave the player to the Warriors. The fans were very unhappy and booed wildly!
Bryant held up his right hand, looked around the arena, and signaled 'no rush'.

...

The Warriors serve the sideline.

Rooney looked around, the Lakers man-to-man defense was very good, and they could only throw the ball long distance to the low post on the left.

Green took off to catch the ball, and after landing, he sent an attack with little time left, so he turned around and hit back, but his back-hitting skills were too poor, and Randall stood firm with both feet and made a strong top. He turned back, and the basketball actually dropped up.

Green quickly retrieved the ball, turned forward to find someone again, saw Durant standing in the center line, and hurriedly passed the ball.

Unexpectedly, Ingram suddenly burst out, made a steal, and ran with the ball.

Durant chased after him wildly, Kobe followed up with the same jump route, and others followed up on other routes.

Ingram rushed to the front basket, suddenly stopped and threw the ball to hit the board.

Durant was dumbfounded, but then a black shadow completely enveloped him!
Kobe took off to catch the ball and dunked Durant!

The Staples Center exploded instantly!

O'Neill looked up and laughed, "Brother, good job!"

Kenny frowned slightly, "Tianyang scored, Kobe had a dunk, Ingram had a steal, Randall had a tough defense, McGee had a block; Curry had a super long three-pointer, Thompson had a fast break, Green had Technical foul, Rooney has a pick-and-roll to help the offense, only Durant has no effect!"

Barkley shrugged and spread his hands, "Well, he's the only one being beaten"
