I just play ball

Chapter 480
There were bursts of MVP cheers in the arena, and Kobe stood at the free throw line and made two consecutive hits.

湖人80比58领先22分，距离第三节比赛结束还剩7分49秒。

The Warriors attacked, and the audience chanted defense in unison.

Curry dribbled the ball across the center line, rushed to the top of the arc with the help of Green's cover, and suddenly raised his hand to split the ball. Green, who dismantled the inside cut, caught the ball and went straight to the basket. Look for physical contact.

Snapped!Li Yue slapped his hat in the face.

The basketball flew upside down and out of bounds, the referee blew his whistle to call a violation, and the Warriors won the baseline ball.

With 17 seconds left in the attack time, Curry took the ball straight to the left wing, Luol Deng received the ball and held it high and waited. At almost the same time, Thomp started running from the free throw line, pretending to use the cover to cut the top of the arc, but actually ran back and rushed towards the temporarily unmanned Defensive basket.

The incident happened suddenly, and despite Iguodala's full pursuit, Thompson easily caught the ball and scored a layup.

The Lakers attack, Kobe catches the ball, slowly brings it to the top of the arc, suddenly sinks his shoulders and speeds up, like lightning.

Curry was completely unstoppable, and the other two Warriors surrounded and double-teamed. Kobe was not afraid, and he jumped up and put the basket.

The basketball hit the basket and fell, and the players of the two teams scrambled into a ball. In the chaos, Kobe got an offensive rebound, took advantage of the opportunity to go around the short corner on the left, stopped suddenly, turned and took off, and leaned back in the air to make a shot. Unfortunately, the basketball still hit the basket and fell. field sigh.

Green got the defensive rebound, turned around and pushed forward, and raised his hand and made a long pass from the center line.

At this time, Li Yue was guarding the basket alone. Seeing the basketball flying to the left, he quickly turned around to observe, and suddenly found that Barnes rushed in with the dribble, and there was no sign of a sudden stop to shoot. People dunk.

In an instant, Li Yue took off head-on, turned around in the air to avoid fouls, and at the same time waved his right hand to interfere.

boom!Pegboard hat.

Cheers resounded in the arena. Li Yue picked up the basketball on the ground, turned around and ran forward. Seeing that Kobe occupied the right side of the frontcourt alone, he decisively raised his hand and made a long pass. Kobe received the ball and rushed. Score a split dunk.

82 to 60, the Lakers firmly hold a 22-point lead.

The Warriors attacked, and Curry dribbled the ball to the 45-degree three-point line on the right, switched his right hand to his left, and made a strong start with his shoulders down.

Kobe twisted his hips and turned sideways to intercept. Curry switched his left hand behind his back and switched his right hand, instantly opening a body distance.

It was difficult for Kobe to return to the defense in time, and Iguodala moved laterally from the right wing to interfere, and Curry immediately stopped and passed the ball.

Thompson received the ball, moved and stepped away from Iguodala, and took off from the right corner for a three-pointer.

when!The basketball hit the hoop and fell.

Li Yue jumped up and caught the rebound, and was about to reincarnate to move forward when the referee whistled for a foul.

Who fouled?

Li Yue was stunned for a moment, and saw the referee gesturing towards him, which turned out to be a foul for rebounding.

Boos immediately erupted in the arena, and the Lakers bench members shouted to express their dissatisfaction. The playback on the big central screen showed: During Li Yueluo's take-off, Green, who was standing in front of him, fell to the ground with a bang, but Li Yue went straight up and down without fouling. action.

The referee insisted that there was a forceful action, and the Warriors got the ball from the sideline of the front court, and the attack time was restored to 24 seconds.

Luol Deng sent the ball out of bounds from the left wing to Green at the top of the arc, then strode into the court, set up a wall to block Kobe, then rushed to the hoop, raised his right hand to prepare to catch the ball, and Kobe was forced to switch defenses to catch up. Curry took the opportunity to go around to the left wing.

At the same time, Green passed the ball to Barnes at the 45-degree three-point line on the right, turned and ran to the left wing.

This kind of cover running route is obviously to pass the ball to Curry, and Covington decisively goes around to interfere.Curry was blocked from receiving the ball and chose to stay away from the three-point line. Although he immediately passed the pass to Green on the left waist, the Warriors' offensive rhythm was slowed down.

After Curry passed the ball, he strode inside, and Thompson and Barnes, plus three players from the Lakers, a total of six players, squeezed in the area between the top of the arc and the free throw line at the same time, in the form of hand-to-hand combat, Run weird off-ball screens.

It's a pity that the action looks complicated, but there is not much real threat, and the Lakers' rotation is not affected at all.

Just as Barnes and Thompson cut inside and rushed to the basket at the same time, Green suddenly raised his hand and passed the ball.

Barnes was completely unprepared, and Li Yue reached out first, successfully destroying the trajectory of the basketball.

In the chaos, Kobe grabbed the basketball from the bottom line. Li Yue caught the ball at full speed and rushed to the paint area in three seconds, ignoring the interceptions of Curry and Green. Perform rhythmic gymnastics.

The basketball smashed into the net, 84 to 60.

Cheers resounded in the arena. Green picked up the basketball and stood out of bounds. Curry caught the ball and turned around and made a long pass directly.

Thompson received the ball from the right wing of the frontcourt, Kobe stepped forward to stick to the defense, and the Warriors' fast break plan fell through.

Moments later, Green catches the ball at the top of the key and waits with his arms folded over his stomach.

The Warriors have three players covering various screens on the left side and the bottom line, and they have never been able to get a good space to receive the ball.

The offensive time quickly passed, Thompson ran to the top of the arc, pretended to set up a wall to cover, but actually ran to the left 45-degree three-point line, bent his knees to catch the basketball, jumped against Kobe's defense, and shot a long shot almost lying on his back.

when!The basketball bounced off the hoop.

Iguodala grabbed the rebound and threw it to Covington, and the Lakers moved forward leisurely.

I saw Covington dribbling the ball to the right wing and raising his hand to throw it to the top of the arc, but Kobe’s eyes signaled him to come, Covington immediately accelerated with his shoulders down, rushed into the paint area next to Luol Deng, and circled to the left along the baseline From the bottom corner, raise your hand and make a long pass to the left 45-degree three-point line.

The Warriors' defensive formation was in chaos. Iguodala received the ball and got a super wide open. Raising his hand was a long shot.

Boom!The basketball crashed into the net, 87 to 60.

The cheers in the arena exploded, and Curry caught the ball and brought it 45 degrees to the left. He didn't need a screen and went straight to singles.

After several super cool shakings in a row, Curry successfully made a breakthrough, and Kobe subconsciously reached out to pull.

Beep!The referee whistled for a foul.

With 5 minutes and 57 seconds left before the end of the third quarter, the Warriors reorganized their offense from the sideline of the frontcourt.Cole waved his hand, and Livingston came on the stage to replace Barnes.

In a blink of an eye, Curry received the ball from the center line, and with 13 seconds left in the attack time, he suddenly joined the ball and took off for a super long three-pointer.

when!The basketball hit the basket and fell, Iguodala grabbed the rebound, the Lakers launched a counterattack, and the audience chanted LGL.

Li Yue received the ball from the center line, accelerated to the top of the arc, made an emergency stop and passed back to the left wing, and Iguodala received the ball and rushed.

Thompson slid sideways to intercept, and Iguodala made an emergency stop at the free throw line and retreated, taking off with one foot and making a shot.

bass!The basketball went into the net hollow, 89 to 60.

The Lakers led by 29 points, the audience stood up and applauded, and the Warriors requested a timeout.

"I declare very seriously that the current Lakers team is the strongest team in the history of the NBA and even the world." O'Neal said, "The Bulls in 96 can't beat the Bulls. Their dominance is unique. "

"It's impossible to play anyway, you can say whatever you want." Barkley laughed, "But I also think that if the two teams play under the same rules, they will play at least seven games, and their strengths are very close."

The timeout was quickly over and the game continued.

On the Warriors' side, Azeri came on to replace Thompson, and on the Lakers' side, Gasol came on to replace Davis.

The referee whistled, and Curry took the ball to the top of the arc, and with the help of Azeri's cover, he broke through from the left.

Gasol's defense was delayed, and Azeri took the opportunity to turn around and rush to the basket. Curry threw a high pass at the same time.

At this time, no one was guarding the basket, Li Yue decisively shrunk to defend from the short corner on the right, and Ai Zeli hurriedly took off to put the basket.

when!The basketball hit the hoop and fell.

Li Yue picked up the rebound and threw it to Kobe nearby. The Lakers launched a counterattack, and there was uniform applause in the stadium.

The formation of 1 high and 4 low was settled, Covington raised the wall to cover, and Kobe took the opportunity to cut in from the right at 45 degrees.

Luol Deng was delayed in switching defenses, Curry squeezed through the wall to catch up, and Covington took the opportunity to disassemble the outer ball and bounce to the top of the arc.

I saw Kobe jumping with the ball, twisting his body in the air and throwing the ball to the top of the arc. Covington easily caught the ball and held it high.

The Warriors had no defense, the basketball lifted off and glided smoothly, and fell into the net with a bang.

92比60，领先达到32分，距离第三节比赛结束还剩5分05秒。

"I personally suggest that the Warriors give up strategically." Kenny said, "They have lost the flank on the defensive end, and the offensive end has become disorganized. Continuing to play will only destroy the confidence built throughout the season, and a complete collapse needs to be avoided. "

"I don't agree with this view!" Barkley said, "Giving up early doesn't mean success in the end. They need to stay on the court, try to control their frustration, play every offense seriously, and do every defense well. "

On the court, Green dribbled the ball to the top of the arc, raised his hand and passed it to the left wing, and Livingston caught the ball and divided it to the left waist.

Kobe scrambled around the front, perhaps because he moved too much and used too much force, and even brought Curry down.

The referee whistled for a foul, the number of fouls by the Lakers in a single quarter reached the standard, and Curry got two free throw opportunities.

The central screen took the opportunity to play the scene of the two teams suspending the discussion during the pause: on the Lakers side, D'Antoni finished speaking, Li Yue made another speech, and then interacted with his teammates one by one, including teammates who stayed on the bench; I talked with Curry talking and laughing, and he didn't seem to panic because he was behind by nearly 30 points. Calling a timeout was just implementing the established plan.

Boosed by the audience, Curry's free throws were not affected in any way, and he easily made two free throws, and the point difference returned to 30.

The Lakers attacked, and Kobe brought the ball to the left wing. Without saying a word, he directly hit Curry with his back.

Luol Deng moved laterally from the top of the arc to double-team, Kobe raised his hand to pretend to pass the ball, but turned around and jumped back, and made a mid-range shot.

bass!The basketball went into the net hollow, 94 to 62.

The Warriors attacked, Luol Deng took the ball to the left wing of the frontcourt, stopped suddenly and turned and threw it to the top of the arc.

Green received the ball, lowered his center of gravity by sinking his shoulders, trying to speed up the breakthrough, but was forcibly intercepted by Li Yue.

In desperation, Green turned around and threw the ball 45 degrees to the right. Livingston caught the ball and observed it for a moment, then lobbed it to the right waist.

Ezeri received the ball with his back and was about to sit up hard when the referee's whistle blew suddenly and Iguodala got a foul.

Li Yue looked up at the large central screen, which showed that Iguodala was pulling when chasing Livingston, but it was very slight, and it could even be said that he didn't exert any force at all. The referee whistled, as if to avoid the garbage time coming early.

Maybe the lead was too much, the audience didn't even bother to boo, and Curry hit two free throws without interference.

The Lakers attacked, and Kobe took the ball to the left wing, still sitting with his back and playing Curry, the kind of merciless.

The Warriors didn't set up a double-team, and Kobe easily turned forward and rushed to the basket, facing the backup defense for a pull-up jumper.

when!The basketball bounced off the hoop.

Luol Deng grabbed the rebound at the three-point line, turned around suddenly and pushed forward, breaking through without a screen.

The three Lakers players flanked, Luol Deng made an emergency stop and turned around to score the ball. Curry caught the ball at 45 degrees on the left and rushed to shoot a three-pointer.

Boom!The basketball crashed into the net, and the Warriors chased 67 to 94. D'Antoni got up and asked for a 20-second timeout.

Li Yue walked back to the bench with his hips akimbo, lamenting in his heart that the Warriors really didn't choose to give up, and they were really resilient.

The timeout was mainly to destroy the Warriors' momentum. The whole team communicated casually, and then stepped into the court to prepare.

Both teams did not make personnel adjustments, the referee blew his whistle, and Kobe caught the ball from the bottom line in the backcourt and slowly advanced.

The Lakers implemented a zipper tactic on the left wing of the frontcourt, but Iguodala's breakthrough was blocked after receiving the ball at the top of the arc.

Kobe immediately took the return pass, and then took advantage of the opportunity to cover with Iguodala, piercing the basket like a sharp arrow.

The Warriors made a double interception, including Green who moved across from the right corner.

For a while, Li Yue was left unattended, Kobe suddenly stopped the long pass, and the audience raised their hands in advance to prepare.

Li Yue received the ball, ignoring Green's return to defense, took off steadily and shot a three-pointer, and the basketball went into the net hollowly.

97 to 67, the arena burst into cheers.

The Warriors attacked, Curry ran across the center line with the ball, covered by Green at the top of the arc, and broke through from the left.

Li Yue was delayed in switching defenses. Unexpectedly, Curry passed through the gap and rushed to the basket with Green side by side.

This action was so spiritual that it exploded, but Green was unprepared and accidentally knocked Curry over.

The basketball rolled out of his hand, Li Yue bent down and grabbed it, stood up and looked up to observe, and then made a long pass.

Bryant received the ball from the center line, rushed all the way to the top of the frontcourt arc, and joined forces with Iguodala to deal with Livingston.

The two-on-one advantage was too great, Livingston was unable to defend normally, and hurriedly wanted a tactical foul. Unfortunately, Iguodala received the ball and directly launched a three-step layup. Not only did he successfully score the ball, but he also won an additional penalty.

The audience cheered and made an extra penalty. The Lakers led 101 to 67.

The Warriors attacked, and Curry took the ball to the right 45 degrees, raised his hand and passed it to Green at the top of the arc, and cut into the paint by himself.

Green held the ball and turned his head left and right to observe, then turned around and threw it to Luol Deng on the right wing, but Luol Deng took a threatening posture for a long time, failed to find a breakthrough opportunity, passed the ball back, and then ran to the short corner on the right to set up the man. The wall for cover.

Livingston took the opportunity to go around the baseline, received a pass from Green, and singled out Iguodala at a 45-degree position.

The two confronted each other for a long time, but also failed to reach a result, and the basketball returned to Green's hands for the second time.

There was not much time left in the attack. Green wanted to find Curry but couldn't find it, so he sank his shoulders and accelerated the breakthrough.

Li Yue slid sideways and followed closely, and came to the short corner on the left in the blink of an eye. Green suddenly jumped up and raised his hand.

In the blink of an eye, Li Yue stretched out his hand and slapped the basketball.Green bent down to pick it up. He had already caught it, but he was too hasty and accidentally knocked the ball out of the baseline. The referee immediately whistled and whistled for a violation.

Li Yue stepped towards the bottom line, ready to pick up the basketball and execute an attack, but Green kicked the ball away.

Beep!The referee whistled for a technical foul.

The audience burst into laughter, Li Yue shrugged slightly, walked to the free throw line in the frontcourt, and easily hit a technical free throw.

The Lakers continued to attack, and kicked off from the center line. Covington caught the ball to the top of the arc and made a three-pointer.

Boom!The basketball hit the hoop and entered the net. The Lakers led 105 to 67. The referee blew his whistle and the game entered an official timeout.

"When Covington can hit a three-pointer with such confidence, it means the game is officially over." O'Neal said, "And this round of the series is also over, I declare the Lakers to advance to the finals, anyone in the East will do. "

Back from the timeout, Cole withdrew all the main players.

D'Antoni arranged for a tactical foul by Covington, and then removed all the main players, and the game entered garbage time.

In the end, the Lakers won 133 to 99, leading the series 1 to 0.
