NBA: I am the card dealer

But the problem now is that there is a 4-point difference.

The Warriors' entire game lead has bottomed out. This blow to the Warriors' morale is simply fatal and can easily make people discouraged.

Their only hope now is Durant, hoping that this king of undifferentiated singles will step forward to stabilize the situation.

And Durant lived up to expectations, and he also took shots from mid-range.

Still 6 points behind, with 57 seconds left.

From this aspect, the Warriors are tenacious. They have been pushed to the edge of the cliff many times, but they can still stabilize the situation, which is very rare in itself.

Even magical.

When faced with the counterattack momentum of the Lakers, the average team's mentality may have collapsed long ago, and their morale may have been exhausted long ago.

The Warriors can withstand the pressure repeatedly, score the ball again and again, and pull back from the edge of the abyss. It is really amazing.

In fact, their score in the last quarter was really not low, they had already scored 30 points.

But even if they fought like this, they were still pushed to the corner by the Lakers. One can imagine how miraculous Xue Liancheng's performance in this single quarter was.

The commentator also praised Durant: "He is indeed the player with the strongest singles ability in active service. He has saved the Warriors from fire and water time and time again. Without Durant, this game of the Warriors would have been overturned long ago."

And Xue Liancheng also sincerely admires Durant.

It's really...strong!

He led the Lakers to close the score again and again, but Durant stood up to stop him again and again, as if there was an insurmountable obstacle.

But at this point, how could he give up.

Once he got the ball, he didn't care if the Warriors were flanking him, and just rushed forward.

The Warriors actually learned from the experience of the previous round and did not dare to make a flanking attack in the half court. After all, there was too much space and too much risk.

This gave Xue Liancheng a chance to successfully hold the ball two steps beyond the three-point line.

His teammates wisely avoided it.

This time, the Warriors replaced Durant as the main defense.

This is really a wise decision.

Durant is 211cm tall, has a wingspan of 228cm, and has excellent running speed and lateral speed, which is comparable to that of a defender. He does not look like a 210+cm person at all.

When Durant comes to guard him, first of all, he is not easy to lose position and can keep up with the speed. Then, the coverage is wide enough and can erase his tonnage advantage.

A good choice indeed.

But it's not like Xue Liancheng has never faced Durant before, so he didn't panic at all.

Debugging rhythm.

Take a step.

Then turn the crotch in the other direction.

Dribble back from behind.

Attacked again from the original direction.

Step on the gas and accelerate.

Not completely rid of it, but never mind.

Still attracted the Warriors' attack.

He did not pass the ball immediately, but penetrated deep enough to allow them to form a complete double-team before confirming the position of his teammates.

At this moment.

Randall rushed in along the route of Xue Liancheng's breakthrough.

Green was a beat slower, but still chasing after him.

Courtney Lee, who was free, wisely went around and approached Green.

This put Green in a dilemma, so he just paused for a moment.

Randall had already rushed to the free throw line, and Xue Liancheng also chose to throw back at this time, and he rushed out of the baseline.

Randall caught the ball and forced his way straight into the frame.

Durant came to intercept, but was already out of position because he was chasing Xue Liancheng.

This allowed Randall to successfully complete the dunk.

The moment he landed, Randall roared wildly and dunked on Durant, completely releasing him who had been in a downturn for most of the game.

The score difference returned to 4 points.

There are still 38 seconds left.

At this time, the air in the entire arena was suffocating and full of tension and excitement.

In this tiebreaker, almost everyone believed that it would be a one-sided game. The Lakers had lost the opportunity, the right time, the right place, the right people, the home court advantage, and the most important morale.

The game came to the fourth quarter, and everything actually went as people predicted. The Warriors led the Lakers by 16 points. In the first two rounds of the fourth quarter, the Warriors scored consecutively, directly pushing the point difference to 20 points. .

Everyone thought that everything had been settled. Facing the Warriors' cosmic-level lineup of the Big Four, the Lakers had no hope of a comeback.

result.

It was simply shocking. Xue Liancheng single-handedly challenged the Big Four, scoring 28 points in a single quarter and also providing 4 assists. Basically, all the Lakers' goals in the fourth quarter were related to Xue Liancheng.

It is definitely not an exaggeration to say that Xue Liancheng is fighting against the entire Warriors alone.

Moreover, under strict defense, he played a truly dominant game, and basically every goal felt unsolvable.

and so……

How could the Warriors fans not be nervous at the scene?

As soon as Xue Liancheng got the ball, their hearts trembled.

The final moment came, but Cole called a timeout.

Obviously, the Lakers' role players scored goals in two consecutive rounds, which put them in a dilemma.

Xue Liancheng was blocked with all his strength, and James Johnson and Randall scored goals here.

But if you defend Xue Liancheng alone, it seems to be even more dangerous, because Xue Liancheng scored 28 points in the fourth quarter and scored 62 points in the game.

A full 62 points!

In the tiebreaker of the playoffs, with the Warriors' full defense, the game scored 62 points. You can imagine how terrifying it was.

Do you dare to let go of such a performance at the level of a god descending to earth?

Just kidding...

Not to mention letting go, even single defense requires a lot of courage.

The game starts again.

Warriors attack.

Curry dribbled the ball and waited a moment, then started a pick-and-roll with Durant again. After the screen was completed, Durant followed suit and Curry got the ball quickly.

Courtney Lee was obviously unable to face Durant, but the Lakers were actually prepared. Randall immediately came over to cover the defense. The two of them pressed Durant to prevent Durant from making any progress.

resignedly.

Durant can only pass the ball.

Just as Thompson came out of the screen, he didn't hesitate after catching the ball and took a jump shot.

Clang.

James Johnson protected the rebound.

There are only 21 seconds left.

Still a 4-point difference.

Xue Liancheng shouted immediately: "Give me the ball..."

James Johnson gave the ball to him with almost no hesitation.

The difference is now 4 points, and there is still time in the last round. It is even more impossible for the Warriors to carry out a pressing attack.

If a major mistake is made or the defense is not in place and the opponent scores, it will be equivalent to giving points to the Lakers in vain.

No matter how confident a warrior is, he would never do such a stupid thing.

After all, if I defend well, you may not be able to score.

But if I defend like a gamble, then you may seize this gap and score directly.
