Chapter 744 Obtaining Match Points
In the second quarter of the game, Ying Xiong scored 2 points in a single quarter and 20 points in the half, leading the Raptors to take the lead to 40 points.

"Jeff, do you think the Golden State Warriors will change their defensive strategy in the second half?" Mike Breen asked.

"It's hard to say. I personally don't think so. For them, whether they change their strategy or not doesn't have much impact on the result. Even if it's a flank attack, is it possible that they really dare to short Toronto's four 4-point shooters?" Jeff Van Gundy asked rhetorically.

"Then change the subject, do you think it should be possible to break the scoring record in a single game in the Finals?" Mike Brin asked with a smile.

"This record, if I remember correctly, is the 60 points scored by Elgin Baylor in the 61s! I can only say that today's should have a good chance. As for whether it can be broken, it depends on the Golden State Warriors ’” Jeff Van Gundy said.

"Why do you say you want to watch the Golden State Warriors?" Mike Brin was a little puzzled.

Jeff Van Gundy smiled slightly: "If the Warriors can catch up with some scores and not let this game go into garbage time so quickly, then the possibility of breaking this record will be very high. On the contrary, the possibility is not so great As for Ying's status, I have no doubts."

"Oh, let's wait and see!" Mike Brin said, nodding.

Section 3 started soon.

Jeremy Lin slowly dribbled the ball across half court.He was very excited, because the team's performance in this game overwhelmed the opponent's. The opponent's death was not as unfavorable as in the previous game, but was completely suppressed by Ying Xiong's unsolvable performance.Imagining that if he wins this game, he will be one step closer to the third consecutive championship, and he is very excited.

The Warriors still started the second half with a 5-death lineup. The score in the first half made their emotions not as high as they were at the beginning. At this time, they were already on the verge of mental collapse. 22 points, even with the Splash Brothers, they still feel a little hopeless.This is in the finals, the opponent is the Toronto Raptors who have the best basketball player on earth, Ying Xiong, want to reverse?The difficulty is as big as sweeping the opponent!

Jeremy Lin used the screen at the top of the arc and distributed it to Patterson.

Patterson gave it to Ying Xiong.

Yingxiong received the ball and faced Iguodala, and after covering with Patterson, he went up the line and broke through with the ball. He changed direction and cut into the penalty area with a low center of gravity. The player made a 3-point shot-no!
But Ying Xiong had an offensive rebound and then scored Terrence Ross. The latter did not miss another chance this time and made a 3-pointer!
"Beautiful assist!" Mike Brin exclaimed.

"Death 5 is not only a problem with the frame protection, but also a problem with rebounding. The Golden State Warriors' 5 small lineup rebounds can be called excellent, and only one Draymond. The rebounding ability that can be used is often underestimated!" Jay Husband Van Gundy explained.

The point difference was widened to 25 points and the game continued.

For the Warriors, Iguodala gave the top of the arc to Green on the inside, and the latter divided it to Klay Thompson in the bottom corner.

Klay Thompson wanted to shoot a 3-pointer, but Terrence Ross was too close and didn't have a chance to make a shot, so he took the ball and walked up the line to force a shot, and then made a sudden stop to shoot a jumper-missed!
Ying Xiong received the rebound and came over with the ball by himself. After the pick-and-roll with Jeremy Lin at the top of the arc on the left, he crossed over Curry and cut into the inside line. Facing Green, he dunked like a mountain with both hands!
"Bang—bang—" Mike Breen explained passionately.

The point difference came to 27 points!
Curry shot a 3-pointer-missed!
Ying Xiong continued to collect rebounds, came over with the ball, and gave it to Jeremy Lin, who was about to go down, and the latter chased him and shot a 3-pointer-he also had it!

The point difference came to 30 points!Coach Steve Kerr requests a timeout!
The home team fans at the scene didn't know what to do. This scene was really embarrassing. After the home team beat the opponent in the last game, this game was slaughtered by the opponent at home.In such a scene, few people think that the home team can reverse and win.

"Jeff, Golden State can't stand it anymore!" Mike Brin said softly.

"Well, it feels like the frustration is spreading among the players, which is not a good sign," Jeff Van Gundy said.

This is the case in NBA games. The team leading by a large score, because of a relaxed mentality, plays easily and decisively, has a higher shooting percentage.

After returning from the timeout, the Warriors increased their defensive intensity, and the score recovered slightly.

But soon, the opponent played another offensive climax and opened up the point difference again.

The players on the Warriors team felt a little desperate. They had a hard time hitting one, and when they turned around, the opponent easily scored.

After the 3rd quarter, the Raptors had a 33-point lead, and it seemed that the game was no longer far away from entering garbage time.

Ying Xiong "only" scored 3 points in the third quarter. His personal score in this game reached 16 points, which is very close to Baylor's record of 56 points.

In the last quarter, the Warriors at home failed to create a miracle, and the game soon entered garbage time.

Ying Xiong did not appear in the last quarter of the game, so his total score in this game was fixed at 56 points. Naturally, it is impossible to break the record of 61 points in a single game in the finals.

In the end, the game was over. The Raptors beat the Warriors with a huge advantage of 35 points, rewriting the total score of the series to 3:1, and only one victory away from winning the championship.

Ying Xiong played 31 minutes and scored 56 points, 12 rebounds, 8 assists, 3 steals and 3 blocks. He did not break the record in garbage time when he was very likely to create a single-game scoring record in the NBA Finals , Regrettably, it also gave him a very good reputation.

And Yingxiong's 56 points surpassed Michael Jordan and Rick Barry's 55 points, becoming the second highest score in a single game in the NBA Finals.

"Jeff, it seems that the record should not be broken!" Mike Breen laughed.

"For him, breaking this record is not that important anymore. If he wants to break it, there are actually a lot of opportunities." Jeff Van Gundy said.

"That's the truth, haha!" Mike Brin laughed.

After the game, Raptors coach Devin Casey lamented that it was Ying Xiong who used his great personal performance to help the team win this victory. As a coach, I can’t say more in words. How can I coach such a team? superstar proud.

The Raptors rewritten the big score of the series to 3:1, and they are only one game away from completing the great cause of three consecutive championships.The series G3 of the two teams will return to the Air Canada Center Arena, the home of the Raptors.This game will most likely be the last game of the season.
