Chapter 531 The Key
Bogut is in the best position, but McGee has the bounce advantage.His mind raced, and he turned to trap McGee behind him, preventing him from jumping.

Five players from both sides rushed into the penalty area, took off one after another, and hit the ball in the air several times. In the end, Klay Thompson reaped the benefits and got the defensive rebound.

Mike Breen said: "This game is a lot more intense than the first one."

Mark Jackson then said: "Xu's eye was injured in the last game, which greatly affected his performance, and the Lakers are a team led by Xu Tian, ​​and his influence is unparalleled. The intensity of this game is so intense. , is normal.”

Stan Van Gundy said: "The Lakers lost a lot of games at the beginning of the season, and after the lineup was run-in, their late record was the first in the league, even surpassing the Golden State Warriors. This state is indeed normal."

Klay Thompson doesn't dribble very well and often makes all kinds of inexplicable mistakes. At this critical moment, he still stabilized his hand and passed the ball to Curry, allowing Curry to take the ball to the frontcourt.

The Lakers players retreated extremely fast and did not give the Warriors a chance to attack quickly.

Curry dribbled through on the left side, attracting the Lakers' defensive attention and helping his teammates create offensive space.

Warren chased Klay Thompson alone, and the remaining players went to double-team Curry, leaving Iguodala and Draymond Green empty.

Curry encountered the tough defense of the Lakers. His almost foul action made him unable to find a shot space, and he was unable to take off to find a foul. He could only pass back to Draymond Green.

There was no defense three meters in front of Draymond Green, but the first reaction was not to shoot, but still to pass the ball.That's one of the reasons why he couldn't be a superstar.

Iguodala received a pass from Draymond Green, but couldn't pass it to the penalty area, and couldn't get it to the Splash Brothers. He could only take off on the spot and take a three-pointer.

Iguodala's shot stability is not enough, sometimes he can score several goals in a row, and sometimes he may not stick to the three. The reason why he was able to win last year's FMVP is that he played amazingly at the critical moment .

Basketball, hollow into the net!
102-103, 2 minutes and 44 seconds!
Xu Tian received the serve while running, dribbled the ball diagonally to the frontcourt, slightly pushed away Iguodala who was on the defense in front of him, changed the direction of the dribble, and slightly got rid of Iguodala's defense.

Klay Thompson quickly ran to Xu Tian's side, and slightly helped Iguodala slow down Xu Tian's breakthrough speed, so that Iguodala could form a front and rear flank defense with him.

Xu Tian hit the ground and passed the ball to George who was standing on the right.

George is also a well-known star in the league. He dribbled through from the right and directly hit the penalty area.

Bogut hadn't been challenged for a while, and when he saw George rushing over with the dribble, he subconsciously wanted to defend.

George took off in the paint area, grabbed the ball with one hand, and wanted to complete a dunk across Bogut!
How could Bogut give him such an opportunity, push him out with both hands, and push him out directly.This is a dangerous defensive move, but he doesn't care at all.

The referee blew his whistle and called Bogut for a foul.

The three referees got together and decided to review the video to see if they wanted to add Bogut's flagrant foul.

George was physically strong, even so, but he was still a little out of breath from the pain of his back hitting the floor. He slowed down for a few seconds, and he held his teammate's hand and stood up after the pain disappeared.

Xu Tian walked to George's side, pulled him up, and then stood together in the backcourt, looking up at the big screen above the stadium.

The slow motion shows that when Bogut pushed out his hands, George was in mid-air, and then he was pushed out directly without any protective action.

The center usually guards the penalty area, which also means a no-fly zone, and usually does not allow offensive players to complete dunks.If you insist on creating a highlight moment, you will be easily offended.

The referee made a penalty and gave Bogut a first-degree malicious foul. The Lakers made two free throws and one throw.

George stood at the free throw line, and the rest of the players stood near the halfway line and watched him make the free throw.

One of two free throws!

103-103, 2 minutes and 28 seconds!
Seeing that time was running out, Kobe called a timeout and adjusted his offensive tactics.

Xu Tian still has autonomy, while George is added some off-ball running positions and hitting the basket to maximize the tactical richness and allow players to have more choices.

Steve Kerr knew that the suspense of the game still existed, and asked Curry to avoid facing Xu Tian as much as possible, and to defend the rest of the Lakers more.

Players from both sides returned to the court, and the Lakers sent the frontcourt sideline ball.

Xu Tian dribbled the ball with his left hand, moved laterally to the top of the arc, and played a pick-and-roll with George.Now at the last moment, the two sides are still divided equally, there is no reason not to use the simplest and crudest tactics.

George helped finish the screen and went down without the ball, trying to help Xu Tian pull away part of the defense.It's a pity that the Warriors were so determined to double-team Xu Tian that they didn't give him any room to attack.

Surrounded by three people, Xu Tian couldn't find room to make a move, so he quickly passed it to George.

Bogut stood still outside the collision zone reasonably, and at the same time raised his hands, preparing to make an offensive foul for George.

George understood Bogut's intentions, and he started to perform European steps in the paint area, but he was not flexible enough to avoid the collision with Bogut.

boom!
The two fell to the ground at the same time!

The referee blew the whistle at the same time, but the two referees disagreed. One called George an offensive foul and the other called a defensive foul.

The referee called the two line referees together, the three confirmed the penalty, and finally whistled George for an offensive foul.

The slow-motion playback showed that Bogut had indeed stood still before George and Bogut collided, and such a penalty was basically not a big problem.

McGee is closest to George, pulls him off the floor, and then sprints to form a defensive formation in the backcourt.

Curry dribbled the ball at the top of the arc, changed direction continuously, and looked for offensive space.That's something he's very good at, just a little space, enough to get the offense done.

Curry took off from the top of the left arc and threw the ball with both hands!
The basketball draws a perfect arc and enters the net hollow!
103-106, 1 minutes and 48 seconds!
The Lakers still had two timeouts, and they didn't hesitate. They quickly called a short timeout to try to increase the chances of attacking in the next round.

Steve Kerr encouraged his players to look for physical contact.After all, this game was played at the Oracle Center Arena. With ambiguous penalties, the Warriors have a high probability of profiting.

The Lakers fans in the Oracle Center were basically silent, listening to the cheers of the Warriors fans quietly, feeling too nervous to control themselves.

Xu Tian didn't feel much, and was busy replenishing water and recovering physical strength, trying to avoid physical exhaustion in the final stage.This kind of unnecessary loss can easily affect the outcome of a game in the playoffs where every inch of land is precious.
