Chapter 545 Difficult to defend
Xu Tian received the serve while running in the backcourt, spared no effort to break the double-team, and then changed his rhythm, so that Iguodala's defense could only stay on his side during the march.This kind of defense is equivalent to zero for Xu Tian.

Throw the ball with the left hand, hold the ball with the right hand, and make a left-handed shot!

Hit the board for a three-pointer and hit it!
73-66!

Xu Tian made a three-point gesture with both hands, raised his arms high, and greeted the cheers of the fans.

The basketball atmosphere in the United States is too strong, and the people's love for basketball far exceeds that of fans in other places. In addition, the NBA is the top league, so there is such a unique culture.This is something that is difficult for other leagues to establish in a short period of time.

With the braces in his mouth, Curry glanced up at the score above the arena and took the serve from Iguodala.Now it belongs to superstar confrontation, and he can't back down.

Xu Tian lowered his center of gravity at the top of the arc, and spread his arms slightly to restrict Curry.

Curry is also a superstar, and it is impossible to completely block it. It can only be restricted so that he cannot play in a comfortable rhythm.

Draymond Green mentioned the top of the arc and formed a screen to delay Xu Tian's lateral defense.

Curry took advantage of this short space to jump directly and make a quick shot!
Double kill!

73-69!

Curry also has a sense of the unusually active arena, shoulders shaking, familiar movements celebrating.

Xu Tian used the cover to receive the serve in the backcourt, moved to the front left, bent over the top of the frontcourt to dribble, and once again used the rhythm to launch a breakthrough.

Iguodala and Draymond Green worked together to defend Xu Tian.

When Xu Tian saw Clarkson going down, he directly hit the ground and passed the ball to let him complete the attack.

Facing the defense of Harrison Barnes, Clarkson took off fearlessly and completed a layup in the confrontation.

McGee judged in advance that the ball would not be scored, and took off on the spot. With his height advantage, he occupied the commanding heights and easily made up the ball.As the Warriors sent multiple players to defend Xu Tian and lacked defense in the penalty area, McGee played a dominant performance in the first half and continued in the second half.

75-69!

Steve Kerr stood on the sidelines and sent Draymond Green to switch on McGee and Harrison Barnes to help Iguodala.

Curry dribbled the ball to the front court with his braces in his mouth, dribbled with his left hand, and Baifo passed Xu Tian who had just lowered his center of gravity.Such a scene rarely occurs, causing Barkley and Kenny Smith to exclaim for a while.

The following plot is that Curry throws a three-pointer at will!
75-72!

Scott looked at the score and knew some adjustments needed to be made, called a timeout, adjusted the rotation, and put Clarkson on Curry.In the current Lakers lineup, only Clarkson is about the same size as Curry, and the rest of them suffer from a bit of flexibility.

Curry played a good performance. Although the team was behind by 3 points, he was still very happy, talking and laughing during the timeout.They lead 3-0, hold three match points, and have no worries at all.

On the plaza with the giant display screen outside the Staples Center, fans who did not buy tickets gathered there to support the team outside the stadium.

Aerial footage showed that there were sporadic raindrops falling from the sky, but they failed to shake the enthusiasm of the fans, who were still trying their best to cheer for the home team.Even though the athletes in the field can't hear it at all.

In the third quarter, Xu Tian scored 15 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists in a single quarter, leading the Lakers and the Warriors led by Curry to attack and maintain the point difference.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Lakers sent George and Nick Young to lead the team, partnered with Tyson Chandler, and played against the Warriors' bench.

The Warriors have Speights and Sean Livingston with stable scoring on the bench. Even with George, they didn't get any lead.This is obviously a bit difficult to accept for the Lakers fans who are looking forward to it.

With 8 minutes and 36 seconds left in the game, Xu Tian took off his warm-up suit and went into battle.The score at this time, the Lakers 94-92 Warriors!

Iguodala and Curry were also resting. Seeing Xu Tian standing in front of the technical stage, he was also called to his side by Steve Kerr, and used the starting lineup to play against the Lakers.

George was replaced by Xu Tian and had a short rest.

With braces in his mouth, Curry dribbled to the frontcourt, facing Xu Tian's defense, trying to dribble laterally to find space.

Xu Tian has younger legs, and by interfering with the dribbling rhythm, Curry has no room to escape.

Curry accidentally got the ball in his hands and was immediately snatched by Xu Tianshang, both of them hugged the ball.

The referee blows the whistle and calls for a scramble for the ball.

Xu Tian was very powerful, grabbed the ball from Curry, and saw the referee's gesture, indicating that he had completed the steal and there was no need to jump the ball.It's a pity that the referee will not change the penalty, and the two still stand together to compete for the ball.

Curry looked at Xu Tian beside him with a calm expression, and for some reason, he always felt that something was about to happen.

With his height and speed, Xu Tian captured the basketball so that Clarkson could get it.

Clarkson's performance throughout the playoffs was not good, and he quickly sent the ball to Xu Tian near the center line.

Iguodala spread his arms, lowered his center of gravity, and slowly moved laterally. Looking at Xu Tian who was dribbling, he couldn't guess what his next move would be.

Xu Tian dribbled the ball with his left hand, dribbled behind his back and switched to his right hand. With the help of McGee's cover, he directly hit the Warriors' defense.

The Warriors sent three people to defend Xu Tian, ​​but they were still found to be free, pulled out on the spot, and shot directly regardless of the double-team.

McGee quickly rushed to the penalty area, ready to make a tip-up.

The basketball draws a perfect arc and hits the net hollow!
96-92!

Draymond Green picked up the dropped basketball, ran over the baseline, and sent the ball to Curry.

Taking advantage of Curry's lack of attention behind him, Xu Tian slashed diagonally, and snatched the ball directly from his hands in a physical confrontation.

Draymond Green originally wanted to run forward, but when he saw Xu Tian complete the steal, he quickly stood still outside the reasonable collision zone, preparing to make Xu Tian an offensive foul.

Without hesitation, Xu Tian jumped up with both feet, grabbed the ball with one hand, and dunked violently!
Slam Dunk!

Draymond Green fell to the ground in response, raised his head, and watched the referee's penalty gesture.This is the Staples Center, and the penalty cannot be biased towards the Warriors.

The referee made a gesture and called Draymond Green a blocking foul.Xu Tian's goal is valid, and there is an additional penalty!

Xu Tian faced the audience and waved his arms up and down to mobilize their emotions.

The Staples Center immediately burst into warm cheers, which could be clearly heard by fans watching the game in the square outside the stadium.

The night rain in Los Angeles was getting heavier and heavier, so many fans had to take shelter under nearby buildings, but their eyes still stayed on the big screen to watch the ongoing game.

George returned to the court, dribbled through to attract the defense, threw the ball to the left, and opened his arms in celebration.

Xu Tian got the basketball with both hands, ignored Iguodala who was defending in front of him, and made a vigorous alley-oop dunk!
101-92!

After Xu Tian returned to the court, he beat the Warriors 7-0, forcing Steve Kerr to call a timeout.
