Chapter 551
During the timeout period, the Warriors cheerleaders worked hard to perform, mobilize the atmosphere of the scene, and strive to let the fans give more support to the players on the field.

Kobe has too much influence in the basketball world. Even at the end of his career, he can still put a lot of psychological pressure on ordinary fans.They don't want to drag the game to Game [-], otherwise it's really unpredictable.

Curry walked back to the court with great confidence, received the serve from the backcourt, and dribbled the ball to the frontcourt amidst the cheers of the fans.

Xu Tian lowered his center of gravity at the top of the arc, paying attention to Curry's dribbling rhythm, and tried to block his space before he found the shooting rhythm.Strong physical confrontation is allowed in the playoffs, and he must make good use of his strength.

Curry rarely faced such a strong defensive player, and he was still a little uncomfortable. He quickly gave the ball to his teammates, and then began to run without the ball.After he started running, he immediately felt much more comfortable than before.

Klay Thompson received a pass from Iguodala, took a step inside the three-point line, and shot directly against the defense!

It feels very soft!
9-5!

Xu Tian ran to the frontcourt without the ball and stood at the top of the arc on the right. Seeing that Klay Thompson was in charge of the defense, he called for a pick-and-roll and cooperated with the off-ball screen.This kind of cooperation is not common, and only players with top shooting ability are threatening.

Bogut's mobility is not as good as that of outside players, and it is very difficult to chase and defend Xu Tian who is running without the ball, so Draymond Green is forced to help defend.

George passed the ball to Xu Tian!

Xu Tian attracted double-teams, kept the ball, and easily and freely distributed it to Nance Jr. who hit the basket without the ball!
Nance Jr. took the ball with his right hand and dunked with one hand with a straight arm!

11-5!

Reggie Miller said: "After the Lakers won the first game of the series in the last game, it can be clearly felt that the mentality of the players has changed, and they played more relaxed than the previous games."

Chris Webber said: "Before the first win, the Lakers players will doubt themselves and feel that their overall strength is much worse than that of the Warriors. This kind of thinking will restrict their performance. After the first win the night before, they changed With this kind of thinking, it is obviously more comfortable to play on both ends of the offense and defense."

Reggie Miller said: "This is one factor, and the other is because of Xu. The rest of the Lakers players have no worries and can let go of offense and defense. They know that as long as the team is in trouble, Xu can definitely stand up."

Draymond Green holds the ball at the top of the front arc, observes his teammates' running positions, and looks for good opportunities to play the ball.

Klay Thompson used Bogut to wipe the screen on the foul side of the mobile screen, circled to the top of the arc, caught the ball and shot directly!

The touch is coming, and I can't stop it!

11-8!

Xu Tian ran to the front court without the ball, tried not to accelerate, and used the usual running route to disrupt the defensive strategy that the Warriors had arranged in advance.

Bogut became the target again, and after several screens, he chased and defended Xu Tian.

Draymond Green had to weaken his defense against Nance Jr. again, and stood in the defense position, taking into account the defense of the two.He is the core of the Warriors' defense and needs to lead by example to enhance his presence on the defensive end.

The Warriors' defensive arrangements are all aimed at Xu Tian, ​​resulting in insufficient defensive pressure on George.

George made a breakthrough with the ball, took advantage of the open space released by the Warriors, took off from 21 feet, and confidently shot the middle distance!

hit!

13-8!

Warriors fans are vaguely worried when they see the Lakers' smooth offense.Everyone knows that Xu Tian has extraordinary dominance at critical moments, keeping the game anxious will be very detrimental to the Warriors.

All the fans cheered and cheered for the home team.

Curry dribbled the ball with his right hand in the frontcourt, and he tried to shake Xu Tian away with a fake move, but unfortunately he failed.When he was about to change his offensive method, he saw Iguodala standing at the top of the arc on the right and immediately passed the ball.

Iguodala saw that the Lakers players had no intention of going to the defense, took a look at the basket, and decisively shot a three-pointer.

Last year's FMVP played his value!
13-11!

Xu Tian calmly ran to the frontcourt, rested for a while at the top of the arc on the right side, waited until George passed halftime, moved according to the predetermined tactics, and with the help of two people to cover, let Bogut follow up again.

Bogut knew that Xu Tian was a member of the 180 club, so he didn't dare to give him any space, but his speed was a bit behind him, so Xu Tian found an attack opportunity.

Nance Jr. was holding the ball. Seeing that Xu Tian was open, he immediately passed the ball.

Xu Tian caught the ball and turned around, ignoring Bogut's weak defense, and shot just outside the three-point line!

BANG!

16-11!

Reggie Miller said: "Wow! This opening made me seem to see the first game of the series, but I don't know if Xu will be poked in the eye again."

Chris Webber laughed: "I think Xu should wear glasses like Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, so that he can protect himself and avoid eye damage."

While the two commentators were joking, the game was still going on.

Steve Kerr learned his lesson from the previous game and didn't rush to call a second timeout, letting the players try to adjust.

Draymond Green was emptied in the frontcourt, looked at the basket, and, like Iguodala, decisively tried a three-pointer!
The basketball draws an imperfect arc, but still slides into the net hollowly!
16-14!

Scott arranged tactics to reduce the defensive attention of Iguodala and Draymond Green, stood on the sidelines, and watched the game with pretended sophistication.The main reason is that he doesn't believe that the two of them can stay together forever.

During the Lakers' offensive, Iguodala kicked the basketball with his foot and kicked it out of bounds, causing a dead ball.

The referee blows the whistle and the game enters an official timeout.Since the Lakers did not call a timeout before, this time it was recorded on the Lakers' side.

George was in a more relaxed mood, put his arm on Xu Tian's shoulder, and said, "Xu, you are in good form tonight, can you break the scoring record in the last game?"

Xu Tian somewhat had a premonition and said, "Maybe it will."

George just asked casually. He didn't expect Xu Tian to give an affirmative answer. He was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, not knowing what to say next.

Nick Young heard the conversation between the two, walked to the sidelines, and said to Scott: "Coach, Xu feels that he can score more than the last game tonight."

Scott heard what Nick Yang said, turned to look at Xu Tian, ​​and asked with some doubts: "Is what Nick said true?"

Xu Tian said: "Just talking casually, but I feel very good tonight, maybe it will work."

When Scott heard Xu Tian's answer, a little light appeared in his eyes, he couldn't believe it, but at the same time looked forward to it.

The Warriors' off-the-ball defense against Xu Tian is far inferior to that of defense with the ball. If Xu Tian can maintain his touch, no one knows what kind of performance he will play.
