Super Evolution of Basketball

Chapter 507 Victory is in sight
At the end of the third quarter, the Lakers unexpectedly maintained their lead, and it was a double-digit lead.

This record has greatly exceeded almost everyone's expectations. Those who bought the Warriors' victory stared at the computer screen in a daze, checking the player's data over and over again, hoping that they were dazzled by the wrong result.

In the Lakers' main lineup, Yuan Qingshan scored 15 points, 8 rebounds, 8 assists, and 2 steals in three quarters, Towns had 16 points, 12 rebounds, 4 assists, and 2 blocks. Paul George had 19 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists, and 1 steal.

For the Warriors, Curry had 22 points, 3 rebounds, and 3 assists, Thompson had 24 points, 1 rebound, and 2 assists, Chasing Green had 10 points, 10 rebounds, and 6 assists, and Durant had only 9 points, 2 rebounds, and 3 assists.

The core three of the Lakers scored more evenly, the Warriors Curry and Thompson scored higher, and Durant was out of standard.

The game hotline on the NBA official website has been refreshed to several million. The Warriors' own fans still insist that the Warriors will win the game bravely after knowing their shame in the fourth quarter. However, almost all 29 teams except the Warriors are supporting the Lakers.

The very important reason is that everyone is too disgusted with the space battleship built by NBA president Adam Silver at the expense of competitiveness.

The Lakers were able to maintain their lead until the fourth quarter, and I don't know how many fans cheered.

At this moment, the Staples Center in Los Angeles is even more lively than Christmas. If Los Angeles fans start to revel, they will be more crazy than anyone else.

Oracle Center.

O'Neill found that Barkley had been crying since the second quarter, turned off the mike, and asked quietly: "Charles, you look very uncomfortable, is it because you bought the Warriors to win?"

Barkley was poked in the heart all of a sudden, and said with a sad expression: "100 million."

"I..." O'Neill was so shocked that everyone would go to places like Las Vegas and spend a lot of money, but someone like Barkley would bet so much on basketball, O'Neill was still surprised.

Mark Jackson hurriedly protected Barkley's mouth, and then pointed to Mike under Barkley's mouth. The square red light flashed, and Barkley himself forgot to turn it off.

O'Neal hurriedly said: "100 million can't sign a rotation player who can play in the playoffs, and even the basic salary of a veteran is not enough. Charles, you said this is a drop in the bucket for the Warriors."

O'Neill is making a relief for Barkley. If it gets out that he bet 100 million on the Warriors, it won't be good. After all, Barkley is a public figure.

Mark Jackson helped: "Yes, what the Warriors are lacking now is someone who can play in a game like this tonight. According to the current price, it is estimated to cost tens of millions, so Charles, you just missed a single digit."

Barkley: "Yes, yes, that's what I mean. They need to introduce another functional player with a level of tens of millions in the summer. The purpose is, as long as it can consume a wave of the opponent's core players."

On the NBA official website, following Barkley's 100 million exit just now, fans began to count, saying how much they bought for the Warriors to win.

At this time, a strange phenomenon appeared. Some fans who disliked the Warriors very much, and those fans who scolded the Warriors all night, actually placed a lot of chips on the Warriors.

No way, although you don't like it, but the space battleship built by the alliance is strong!
During the timeout, Walton asked Whiteside how his right knee was doing. Whiteside said that there was no problem at all, and he was actively trying to get out of the game.

Wharton hesitated.

At this time, the assistant coach ran to him and whispered a few words in his ear. Wharton immediately said that Whiteside could not play for the time being, and he would observe the state of the Warriors first.

Yuan Qingshan asked Wharton in a low voice why he made this decision immediately after listening to others.

Walton said that the assistant coach told him that this was Jenny Buss' decision, and she asked the team to ensure the health of the main players.

Yuan Qingshan didn't say much. The team owner cares about the health of the players, which is understandable.

But Wharton still didn't say a word. Jenny Buss' real thought was that if Whiteside was seriously injured, he would not be able to trade in the summer.

If the Lakers want to get a superstar, Jamal Murray alone will definitely not work. There is a high probability that they will have to catch up with quasi-All-Star Whiteside. An inside player like him who is willing to do dirty work is very popular.

Whiteside did not play, Channing Frye continued to play, he is now a little adapted to Pachulia's tricks.

As an old player, Channing Frye is of course better than Whiteside in dealing with small tricks like being secretly pinched at the waist or making a trip. Pachulia saw that it didn't work after playing a few times, and was almost called a technical foul, so he gave up later.

In this way, the center positions of the Lakers and the Warriors are almost exchanged, and neither of them has much contribution on the offensive side. Wharton dare not let Channing Frye float outside the three-point line rashly. When playing against the Warriors, he must guarantee rebounds.

At 4 minutes into the fourth quarter, the players rotated again. Yuan Qingshan, Paul George, Towns went off, and the opposite Splash Brothers and Durant went off.

Durant has finally scored in double figures so far. He basically didn't take many shots throughout the game, and he didn't look very tired when he was replaced.

On the contrary, it was the Splash Brothers, both spread out on the chairs, and Thompson drank three big glasses of Gadla.

Curry's hair was soaked, and Cole knew him better, knowing that his physical fitness was about to bottom out.

Chasing Dream Green acts as the center axis on the court, and Iguodala floats on the outside. He is one of the few Warriors substitutes who can shoot three-pointers.

Well, although his shooting percentage is not very high.

This wave of rotation has further widened the point difference. Under the leadership of Chasing Dream Green and Iguodala, the Warriors did not play a good offense. These two men were not originally sharp offensive players.

On the Lakers side, Nick Young and Jeff Green had a convulsion. The two contributed 10 points in a row, with a high shooting percentage and feeling hot.

Kerr looked at the point difference and said to himself that the Lakers had a wave of ups and downs, and this Nick Young "nine ghosts in ten games", but today he is going to be super god.

In the last few minutes, all the main players returned to the field.

The Warriors want to play some cooperation at this time, but Thompson, who is in charge of the defense, is too tired. Murray is the kind of person who will follow you to death as long as I have my last breath left. Thompson's restraint is getting smaller and smaller.

Curry was anxious, and tried to shoot a few unreasonable "Curry-style" three-pointers. Although Yuan Qingshan failed to block, Curry was not physically fit and missed all of them.

Wharton's expression became more and more relaxed, and he turned to Whiteside and said, "Don't worry too much, Hassan, it seems that you really don't need to play tonight."

Whiteside felt relieved. His rush to play was not in a hurry to collect statistics. He just hoped to help the team win. Now that victory is in sight, he naturally doesn't worry so much.
