Chapter 555 stalemate
Seeing that the point difference was gradually narrowing, Scott called a short timeout to adjust his offensive and defensive tactics.

McGee is a better choice to deal with the Warriors, and he is still on the court, while Clarkson is replaced by Nick Young.Now the Warriors' defensive focus is on Xu Tian, ​​and the defense of the rest of the players has been reduced a lot. Nick Young needs to use his singles ability to make the Warriors pay the price.

The short timeout was only 20 seconds, almost fleeting. Players from both sides returned to the court again for the final stage of G5.

George received the serve in the backcourt, and under the defense of Klay Thompson, he dribbled the ball to the frontcourt with difficulty.

Xu Tian was entangled by Iguodala, and the two fought fiercely, even a bit like dancing.

Iguodala also has top-level strength, and he does not suffer from the confrontation with Xu Tian, ​​so the grabbing position has a tendency to intensify.

Steve Kerr was very satisfied with Iguodala's defensive style, standing on the sidelines and watching the result of the two grabbing positions.

Nick Young received the pass, defended against Curry at the top of the arc on the left, dribbled the ball continuously, and looked for breakthrough opportunities.His offensive skills are very good, but he didn't find a gap for a while.

Curry's defense is not as fragile as his body shows. An average defense can still put some offensive pressure on the opponent.

Nick Yang just came on the field, feeling a little cold, and passed the ball back to George to let him reorganize the offense.

Draymond Green saw Iguodala blocking Xu Tian with a near-foul action, standing near the penalty area, waiting for the Lakers to attack.

George saw that there was not much time left in the attack, started the dribble, carried Klay Thompson's defense, and rushed to the basket fearlessly.He wanted to make a foul and force a shot in the confrontation!
Draymond Green waited upright, quickly helped the defense in place, and blocked the basketball that George hadn't shot yet.

Curry happened to be nearby, picked up the defensive rebound, dribbled and pushed the counter.

The Lakers players retreated quickly!
Iguodala knew the importance of Xu Tian to the Lakers' defensive system, so he still didn't let go, and almost limited his starting speed by hugging him.

The referees turned a blind eye to Iguodala's actions.

Curry sprinted to the frontcourt, made an emergency stop outside the three-point line, faced Nick Young's defense, and chased for a three-pointer!
114-115, 2 minutes and 15 seconds!
The Warriors achieved a go-ahead!
The atmosphere in the Oracle Arena was extremely warm, and Curry's excitement was aroused for the second time. He couldn't help taking off his braces and roaring to celebrate.His repeated words were "I'm the MVP".

Xu Tian came to the backcourt and received the serve from George while running, not giving Iguodala a chance to defend close again.

Iguodala has the ability to cut the ball with one hand, and he pays attention to Xu Tian's dribbling movements, always wanting to make a move.

Xu Tian exposed the ball to Iguodala again, luring him to cut the ball.He now seemed to be a seasoned hunter, waiting for his prey to take the bait.

Iguodala still wanted to perform, so he cut the ball directly, but Xu Tian evaded it with fast and flexible continuous dribbles, and directly lost his defensive position.

Xu Tian faced Draymond Green's supplementary defense at the top of the arc on the left, dribbled the ball on the right, deceived his defense, pulled the ball with his left hand, and changed to the left to break through.

Both Klay Thompson and Curry quickly gave up their opponents and came to the left, preparing to flank Xu Tian.

Xu Tian dribbled the ball behind his back and turned around, passed Curry who was too late to seal the position, adjusted a step, received the ball and took off!

Harrison Barnes became the last line of defense in the Warriors' restricted area, gritted his teeth and took off, trying to block the shot.

Xu Tian separated Harrison Barnes with his left hand, grabbed the ball with his right hand, smashed the ball quickly and dunked!

Bi~
2+1!

Steve Kerr looked at the referee's gesture and saw that Harrison Barnes was called for a defensive foul. He immediately jumped into a rage and ran over to question the penalty.Now is a critical moment, every point is very important, he must fight for it.

The referee was very stance, resisted the boos of the fans, gestured to the technical stage again, and then asked Xu Tian to execute the extra penalty after the goal.

Xu Tian's free throws are more accurate at critical moments!

117-115, 2 minutes and 03 seconds!
Curry got rid of Xu Tian's pressing man-marking while running, received the serve in the backcourt, dribbled the ball behind his back continuously, and pushed forward while avoiding the defense.

Xu Tian always stayed in front of Curry, not giving him any space.Now that the time has entered the last 2 minutes, the degree of physical confrontation can be enhanced, which is beneficial to his defense.

Curry was extremely uncomfortable under Xu Tian's defense. When he saw Xu Tian stretching out his hand and wanted to complete the steal, he quickly passed the ball ahead of time and began to run without the ball.

Iguodala received the pass, stood at the top of the arc to observe the defense, saw that none of his teammates were open, passed the ball to Draymond Green, and let him organize the offense.

Iguodala keenly judged the situation on the court, made a cover, and helped Klay Thompson delay George's defense.

Draymond Green played the ball quickly, did not waste open opportunities, and passed directly to Klay Thompson.

Reggie Miller said: "Klay made a three-pointer! Yes! Big heart goal!"

117-118, 1 minutes and 47 seconds!
Fans in Los Angeles were so nervous they couldn't breathe.Their home team, the Lakers, has no way out, as long as they lose one game, the season will end, so they are more nervous than Warriors fans.

Warriors fans inside and outside of Oracle Arena were equally nervous.They always feel that the team is in an atmosphere of boiling frogs in warm water. If this game is won by the Lakers, the hope of advancing will be very slim.

Scott still had three timeouts in his hands, and called one of them, allowing Warren to replace Josh Smith in order to increase the options on the offensive end.This game is related to whether the series can continue, and he dare not be careless.

Kobe looked at the ad and took a deep breath.He couldn't play, but he felt more nervous than when he could play.

The TNT host team was watching the game interactively. Barkley and O'Neill once again started arguing over who would win.

Even though Barkley thought in his heart that the Lakers could win, for the sake of program effect, he still said that the Warriors could win the game and advance to the Finals.

O'Neal stood on the opposite side of Barkley, thinking that the Lakers could win the game, extending the series to Game [-] and ushering in Kobe's comeback.

Xu Tian looked at the scoreboard above the arena, knowing that the winner would be decided within a minute or so, so he drank a few sips of sports drinks and tried to calm his breathing rhythm.

Steve Kerr held the tactical board and said quickly: "Andre Iguodala, you still defend Xu like you did just now, don't give him space to catch the ball, as long as you can limit him, We have a good chance of winning the game.”

Iguodala is the best defensive player on the outside of the Warriors, so he naturally did not refuse and accepted this difficult task.He looked in front of the bench on the other side, and saw Xu Tian's expression was calm, without any tension or excitement at the critical moment.Such a player is the scariest.
