Legend of Tomorrow

Chapter 1160 [Fierce duel, entering the tiebreaker]

Redick scored a three-pointer at the last moment, and the final score was 137 to 127, which was not a big difference.

The game is very fierce, every ball must be fought for, and the Warriors have a chance to win. But every time they played a smooth offense, Guo Xu would retaliate. Almost all the Lakers' scores were related to Guo Xu.

He played almost the entire game, scoring 70 points, 2 rebounds, 20 assists and 2 steals, and shot over 60% from the field. This is a new record in the history of the playoffs. Chamberlain once scored 70+20, but that was 20+ rebounds, which was much easier than Guo Xu.

The core players of both sides will inevitably be drawn out for comparison, and Curry's blow was a bit ugly.

He ended up with 26 points and 6 assists. He made 0 of 3 shots in the final quarter and didn't score a single point. He was defended and had very few chances to take a shot. Brother-killing Finn has no chance to kill his brother today, Seth Curry did not appear.

Online fans are discussing the game, and more and more people are optimistic about the Lakers' promotion, because Guo Xu's data will greatly improve the team's morale. On the contrary, the Warriors players will definitely be hit hard.

They can't even guard Guo Xu well, how can they win this series? In this game, everyone inside and outside tried to defend Guo Xu, but they all failed.

At the press conference, Guo Xu said: I didn't deliberately brush up the data today. I just wanted to help the team win. I shot the ball that I thought should be shot, attracting double teams, and I also passed the ball that could assist my teammates. ”

He said it very simply, but the reporters applauded vigorously. Only Guo Xu can achieve this kind of data in the entire history of basketball. Before Guo Xu entered the league, other guards would make headlines if they scored 30+20. Everyone has long been accustomed to Guo Xu's 30+20. He has done so 3 times this season, including twice in the playoffs.

Guo Xu also commented on his teammates. In addition to him, Horford and Tucker also scored in double figures, scoring 13 points and 16 points respectively. Tucker made four three-pointers, all from the corner.

Tyronn Lue was full of confidence when evaluating the game. He said: I think the Lakers will definitely advance and win the championship. The reason is simple. We have Jason. The Warriors' stars are very good, but there is still a clear gap between them and Jason. .”

The reporter asked: Some people questioned your winning of the Best Coach Award before, thinking that if you encountered difficulties and adjusted your tactics, you would only hand over the ball to Jason. In this series, his possession of the ball has increased again. What do you think?

I think there is a star of Jason's level in the team. If any coach does not let him play casually, this person should not stay in the NBA because there is something wrong with his brain. It doesn't matter how Jason likes to play, he himself With a tactical system, which team’s overall data can enter the 180 club?”

The reporters also gave Tyronn Lue applause,

It's hard to dislike a coach who can so confidently state that he relies on star players. This person is so honest.

The only good news for the Warriors is that Curry is relatively strong. He has not doubted his life because of being abused by Guo Xu. He said that he will work hard to help the Warriors win and strive to play better.

The second game continued at the home court of the Warriors. The Warriors players learned their shame and acted bravely, playing a beautiful overall offense. The score was 110-97, and the total score was 1-1.

If they lose another home game, the Warriors will have to go home to fish. They must fight hard and attack the Lakers from the get-go.

Lopez and Nowitzki started together. Middleton was responsible for offense and organization with the ball. The Twin Towers provided Curry and Redick with off-ball coverage from the side, helping them create opportunities to catch the ball and shoot.

After covering the screen, Lopez went to the bottom corner to attract the defense and wait for the opportunity to catch and shoot. If Curry can't get rid of Guo Xu, he can pass the ball to Nowitzki and let him play singles in the mid-range.

Curry focuses on off-ball play, and Guo Xu will also feel uncomfortable. It is impossible for him to quickly and perfectly avoid the screen every time and complete the close contact with Curry. Curry also cheated in this game. He made 8 of 14 three-pointers and only took 5 two-pointers in total. He scored two goals, 2 of 2 free throws, and scored 30 points and 5 assists.

All five of his assists were given to teammates inside, assisting Lopez in two three-pointers, and the other three were for Nowitzki to catch and shoot.

Horford's effectiveness in guarding Nowitzki alone is not bad and can reduce the veteran's shooting percentage, but when he plays against Nowitzki, Lopez is difficult to guard.

Tucker is too short when he plays the 4th position and cannot guard against Lopez's low post attack. The Lakers send Nurkic, and Lopez will pull out to cover the ball and shoot, creating breakthrough opportunities for his defender teammates.

The weakness of the center cannot be solved by the Lakers for the time being, and Nurkic has to be used. Tyronn Lue gave him 25 minutes to perform, responsible for covering Guo Xu and playing triangle offense.

Nurkic's statistics were not bad in this game, scoring a double-double of 16 points and 10 rebounds. He provided an off-ball screen for Guo Xu at the bottom line, which was very effective in blocking the defender. The screen effect was better than that of the thin Horford.

Guo Xu scored 45 points and 11 assists, but the Warriors still couldn't defend him.

In Game 3, the Lakers returned to their home court and beat the Warriors 120-90 by 30 points, leading the team 2-1 in total.

The Warriors players had a collective feeling problem this time, their shooting percentage was not high, and no one scored 20+ points.

Curry made 5 of 13 shots, 3 of 9 three-pointers, and 4 of 4 free throws. He only scored 17 points and 6 assists. He also had a game-high 6 turnovers, 3 of which were stolen by Guo Xu and directly counterattacked.

Nowitzki was the only one who performed normally, making 7 of 11 shots, 2 of 5 three-pointers, 2 of 3 free throws, and scored 18 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists.

Middleton was guarded by Robertson and turned into an undercover player. In the second game, he played very well against Carter and Booker, scoring 27 points. The Lakers took good care of him from the beginning, and Robertson fully demonstrated his specialty, candy-style defense.

Middleton made only 4 of 13 shots, 1 of 5 three-pointers, and 1 of 2 free throws, scoring 10 points.

Guo Xu was still the strongest performer in the game. He only played 36 minutes, scored 42 points, 3 rebounds, 7 assists and 5 steals, and got off work half a quarter early in the final quarter.

Curry cheated again in Game 4, making 7 of 13 three-pointers and scoring 38 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists. Together with Lopez, he helped the Warriors win 108-107 on the road, bringing the total score to 2-2. flat.

Lopez made 7 of 11 shots, 4 of 9 three-pointers, and 7 of 7 free throws. He scored 25 points, 6 rebounds, and 2 assists. He hit a quasi-winner in the last 4.7 seconds with a strong low-post floater.

Players who can shoot are more reliable at critical moments than those who are left open. Green is undercover again this time. He played 30 minutes, making 2 of 9 shots, 0 of 4 three-pointers, 2 of 4 free throws, 6 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 blocks.

The balance of victory tilted towards the Warriors again, and the crucial Battle of Tianwang Mountain was held at the Warriors' home court.

Redick, who has been sleepwalking, performed at a superb level in this game. He made 10 of 17 shots, 6 of 11 three-pointers, and 4 of 4 free throws in 32 minutes. He scored 30 points, 3 rebounds, and 1 assist.

Booker, who has played against Redick for a long time, was sleepwalking, making 1 of 8 shots, 0 of 5 three-pointers, and scored 2 points and 2 rebounds. There was something wrong with his mentality in important games. He was burdened with the mentality of wanting to win and being afraid of losing, and he couldn't even make open shots.

Guo Xu scored 54 points, 4 rebounds and 8 assists. Unfortunately, the support from his teammates was not enough this time. Only he and Horford scored in double figures in the game, losing 93 to 104.

It's not that easy for the Warriors to eliminate the Lakers. The Lakers have the ability to win as long as they have the right tactics.

In Game 6, the Lakers returned to their home court and defeated the Warriors 115-101, with the total score tied at 3-3 and entering the tiebreaker.

The referee did not favor the Lakers. The Lakers, led by Guo Xu, went crazy in running and gunning. The players all shot very high, with an overall shooting rate of 51.9%, while the Warriors' overall shooting rate was only 40.2%.
