Chapter 544 Attack
Wearing a purple-gold warm-up suit, Xu Tian trotted through the player tunnel, and took the lead to return to the stadium he was already very familiar with.

The fans at the Staples Center had extra expectations for Xu Tian. As soon as they saw his figure, neat cheers resounded throughout the stadium.This lineup has encouraged other Lakers players.

Xu Tian waved his hand, then took off the warm-up suit he was wearing and handed it to the caddy standing on the sidelines.

The Warriors had the right to attack the ball for the first time in the second and third quarters. Draymond Green served from the bottom line and gave it to Curry in the backcourt.

Xu Tian was full of energy, came to the top of the arc and lowered his center of gravity, looked at Curry who was dribbling over, and prepared to defend.

Curry still remembered being intercepted twice at the beginning of the game. The idea of ​​not admitting defeat suddenly appeared, and he changed direction again, trying to break through Xu Tian's defense.

Xu Tian's wingspan is better than Curry's. He predicted his ball control and touched the basketball with his right hand.

Curry has a good feel for the ball, but still can't get the ball back, watching it bounce uncontrollably into George's hands.

As soon as George started dribbling, he saw a golden lightning-like figure running over on the left side of the court. After being amazed, he quickly passed the ball to Xu Tian.

Xu Tian received the ball in the frontcourt, took off from the free throw line with one step, and dunked hard with his right hand!

63-63!

The fans at the Staples Center were already very excited. Seeing Xu Tian's first attack in the second half, they couldn't help cheering louder than ever to celebrate the goal.

Seeing Xu Tian with a calm expression but stern eyes, Draymond Green had a vague sense of foreboding, but he didn't take it too seriously.

Curry received the serve to the frontcourt, then passed it to Draymond Green, and took advantage of the trend to run without the ball.

Facing Xu Tian's defense, Draymond Green felt a different pressure than before. He took the ball with both hands and hurriedly looked for his teammates to run.

Xu Tian is about the same height as Draymond Green, and has better agility. He holds the ball held by Draymond Green with his right hand, preventing him from playing the ball.

Draymond Green couldn't pass the ball, so he took two steps.

The referee whistled and Draymond Green made a walking violation.

Draymond Green is used to complaining, holding the ball with his right hand, and walked over to argue with the referee.

When Xu Tian passed by, he dropped the racket with his right hand, diverting his attention.

Draymond Green saw that Xu Tian had passed the ball to the sideline referee, so he couldn't say anything more, so he immediately defended himself.

George came to his side and formed a screen to help Xu Tian create space to receive the ball.

Barkley said: "This kind of coordination appeared in the semifinals. They wanted Xu Tian to play singles."

Kenny Smith said: "The Lakers played as a team in the first half, and Xu Tian didn't participate much in it. Such a move must be for the second half. It is not surprising that they played more actively."

Xu Tian received the serve, dribbled the ball with his right hand to the frontcourt, and before the Warriors could form a pinch, he dribbled the ball from behind to the front, passed through the gap, and directly made a breakthrough.

All five players of the Warriors came to the middle of the road and worked together to defend Xu Tian.

Xu Tian dribbled the ball nimbly, found space between flashes and maneuvers, and threw the ball with his left hand.

In order to stop Xu Tian, ​​Iguodala had no choice but to grab his shoulder, trying to defend him with a foul.

The basketball hits the board, rebounds and hits!
2+1!

Xu Tian pushed forward, interrupted Iguodala's pulling action, roared passionately, and responded to the enthusiastic fans at the scene.This is his emotional release, not about his character.

Lakers fans haven't seen Xu Tian's passionate roar for a long time. They know that he is under a lot of psychological pressure. When he stood at the free throw line, he sent the MVP call.This is the highest evaluation a fan can give, and it is also in line with Xu Tian's identity.

Plus penalty, hit!
66-63!

Steve Kerr called too many timeouts in the first half and dared not use them lightly. He stood on the sidelines and directed the players to strengthen their defense against Xu Tian.

Curry didn't understand why the coach arranged defense in the offensive round, but he didn't think much about it. He passed the ball from the top of the arc and started running without the ball again.

Iguodala held the ball at the top of the arc, saw Harrison Barnes make an air cut, and passed the ball directly.

Harrison Barnes didn't expect Iguodala to pass him the pass, touched the basketball, but missed it.The two made a mistake in cooperation and the ball went out of the baseline.

Xu Tian ran out of the baseline, sent the ball to George, then ran into the court, and caught the ball back.

Iguodala has good strength, but he doesn't move fast enough. The defensive end can't cause trouble for Xu Tian like Kawhi Leonard, and can only let Xu Tian easily advance to the frontcourt.

Xu Tian arced and dribbled the ball under his crotch, and used the cover to break through, changing the Warriors' defense.

McGee went down without the ball, received a pass from Xu Tian halfway, and dunked hard with his right hand!

68-63!

Steve Kerr had to call a timeout to slow down the momentum of the Lakers.This time they are playing away, and they are at a natural disadvantage. If they are beaten by the Lakers, the situation will become extremely difficult.

Xu Tian didn't ask Scott to arrange tactics, and said directly: "I feel good tonight, just give me the ball." His tone was flat, but firm, and people couldn't help but believe him.

Scott said: "Okay! Try to recover your strength and don't give the Warriors another chance to counterattack."

Steve Kerr was not as relaxed as Scott, and once again emphasized the defense against Xu Tian, ​​allowing the players to pay close attention.

Xu Tian is a player who has broken scoring records several times. The bigger the scene, the more amazing he can play.Steve Kerr understands this very well, so he never tires of repeating it.

Iguodala is suffering.He couldn't defend against Xu Tian at all. Even though he had his teammates assisting in double-teaming, he still had huge defensive pressure.

Time is running out, the timeout is over!

Curry received the ball from the sideline in the backcourt, trotted the ball to the frontcourt, and passed the ball to Klay Thompson on the right.

Klay Thompson didn't find his rhythm, started dribbling, and wanted to complete a breakthrough.But he overestimated his dribbling ability a bit, slipped and fell during the breakthrough, and made another mistake.

Nick Young picked up the floor ball and just raised his head when he saw Xu Tian had already run to the frontcourt and passed the ball.

Xu Tian received the ball in the frontcourt, took off in two steps from the free throw line, and dunked hard with both hands!

70-63!

After the start of the second half, the Lakers played a 9-0 spurt.

Listening to the deafening cheers in the arena, Barkley said: "The Lakers seem to have momentum."

Kenny Smith said: "The Warriors should not be obsessed with personal strong attacks, but should cooperate more on the offensive end, otherwise they will lose miserably in the confrontation of personal abilities."

Curry has the confidence to believe in his touch at all times, dribbles the ball to the frontcourt, takes off at the top of the arc on the left side, and directly shoots a super long three-pointer!

Break the scoring drought!
70-66!

Steve Kerr was finally relieved to see Curry hit the shot.
