846. stalemate
"Wow, the Lakers beat the Warriors? It's crazy, maybe they can really do it."
TNT commentator, Shaq O'Neal said with a rich expression.
This aroused the surprise of his old partner. Barkley blinked his smart little eyes and asked, "Shake? If I remember correctly, you support the Lakers from beginning to end, and tell me that Gary Smith will get the FMVP!"
O'Neal laughed, "It's true, but we all know how powerful the Warriors are. Their four All-Stars are in their peak period and know each other's bodies more than women."
"But now the Lakers are likely to get the match point. To be honest, the performance of those young people surprised me."
In fact, the Warriors fans did not buy it. O'Neal repeatedly slandered the Warriors in his previous commentary, which made the Oaklanders angry.
So before the G4 began, the Warriors surrounded Adam Xiao Hua and asked the league to restrain the Lakers celebrity who was unrestrained.
Tonight, O'Pang became much more well-behaved, which was not in line with his personality. However, for the income of millions of dollars, O'Pang planned to use "kind lies" to deceive the Warriors fans.
However, no one bought his compliments with him, but instead made Los Angeles fans feel uncomfortable and soon caused an uproar on Twitter.
Barkley knew what his old guy was thinking and almost laughed all night.
The game on the court continued, getting closer and closer to Lin Feng's appearance. The condition for Walton to use his killer move is that the Warriors forced the score difference to within ten.
Before this, Lin Feng would stay on the bench. Before, Yingge's accidental injury in the game made the Lakers management deeply reflect.
Howard replaced McGee, and Clay came back on the other side. At this point, the Warriors once again launched the "Splash Brothers" to make the final impact. It looked a bit tragic, because at the beginning of the season, no one could have thought that the defending champion would fall into such a situation.
The game continues, and the final battle continues.
Rondo held the ball, and Clay, who was newly on the court, planned to press in the frontcourt, but he fouled around the screen.
In the next Warriors' offensive round, Clay used the cover to go to the bottom corner with the cover. When he wanted to pass Pope, he stepped out of bounds!
Clay hugged his head in annoyance after giving up the ball. He kept showing his initiative since he came on the court, but the ending was a bit bad.
After converting the offense, Rondo dribbled the ball slowly through the half court, and after three seconds he distributed it to Pope, who came out of the right corner. The latter took the ball and shot with a graceful shot, but unfortunately he was slightly off!
Howard stuck Looney, but the basketball went to the bottom line.
Lin Feng watched Howard run towards him. Although the guy lost weight, he was still very powerful.
The Lakers' bench immediately dispersed, and after Sparks stopped, they smiled helplessly.
Failed to save the ball, the Warriors got another chance.
But they were caught in a foul curse, Curry dribbled just after halftime and Durant illegally covered it!
When he blocked Rondo, his footsteps moved and his hands were pulled and fouled. The home fans began to cheer, thanking KD for his generous donation.
The happiest one is Fenson. He stood in the backcourt and nodded repeatedly, and opened his hand to incite the fans to create momentum.
Durant's face turned pale. His performance tonight was terrible. He felt uncomfortable when he played. He was obviously not on the same frequency with his teammates.
With 14 points, the two teams failed to score in several rounds. Time passed, which was very beneficial to the Lakers.
Luke Walton was full of spring and had a "young coach" look. Cole on the other side frowned, and his team had been hovering on the verge of failure for several minutes.
James, who had been resting for two minutes on the court, began to take over the ball. He has been playing without the ball in the past two minutes, and Rondo is responsible for the team organization.
Press the rhythm and command the run!
Ten seconds later, the start started, Howard covered the high position, and James dribbled the ball under his crotch and broke through the defensive breakthrough.
Looney, who was slightly behind the outside, immediately shrank the basket and prepared to welcome the tank attack of James. He had even felt the pain of being hit by the tank in advance.
But James did not choose the safest way, but instead made a decisive three-pointer from the outside!
With a little more power, the ball hits the front of the basket and bounces out.
Howard rushed to the rebound, and raised the ball high with a roar! Just as the spark was about to rise again, Curry poked the ball out at the basket.
In a melee, Finson, who was closest to the ball, stumbled and ran into Durant, but neither of them held it.
Before falling, Fenson called back and wanted to give Rondo, but Clay robbed the ball with one hand!
"LeBron wants three-pointers. Maybe he wants the Warriors to kill them the way they are best at. That's a fatal blow, but it will be difficult because LeBron's outside shooting percentage is only 33%. "O'Neal believes that James's choice just now was not good.
Barkley spoke the opposite, raising his voice and said, "As the team leader, we must believe that he made the most correct choice because he is LeBron."
On the court, the Warriors were 2V2 in the frontcourt, but the old men returned to defense very quickly, and all of them were in place in two seconds.
Curry received the ball and had no chance, and the fast break was forced to become a position.
Finson faced Clay at a low post, and the Warriors scorers performed very positively after the fourth quarter but never scored.
It is obvious that Clay is not a good ball holder. Finson took off the ball without waiting for him to stand firmly!
Then the two of them entangled, and Fenson leaped and flew towards the ball.
The referee's whistle sounded again, and Clay pushed someone to foul!
This was Clay's third turnover in the fourth quarter. He pushed Finson while grabbing the ball, causing Finson to lose the center of gravity and almost fell to the ground.
The audience burst into applause and cheered the opponents.
The score stayed at 96 to 82 like a freeze, and no one scored in nearly three minutes.
The smell of gunpowder on the court became stronger and stronger. Howard and Looney both acted when they got stuck at the basket, and their expressions were very unfriendly. In order to control the emotions of both sides, the referee frequently used whistles to keep them calm.
Looney became a victim and he took another foul, which annoyed the entire Warriors team.
Steve Cole also rushed to the sidelines to find the referee to argue. Perhaps it was because the Warriors were punished for a lot of fouls during this period. Referee Fred acknowledged Cole's screams at him and patiently explained his standards to him like an old lady.
The ball is still in the hands of the Lakers. In the fourth quarter, the game is developing in a strong direction.
Walton took the initiative to substitution, Josh Hart replaced Pope, and Beasley replaced Finson against him.
The Warriors took Bogut to strengthen their ability to protect the basket, and Howard's dominance at the basket made the Oaklanders feel desperate.
Bogut has few chances to play tonight. The Warriors originally wanted to play quickly, but Jordan Bale, who had a higher flexibility, was not very effective.
Cousins was unable to play due to injury. Coach Cole has used three players in the fifth position in four games.
Bogut, Damian Jones and Jordan Bell tonight, the best effect is Bogut, but his movement speed will restrict the Warriors' playing style.
Now a distressed question is placed in front of the Warriors coaching staff, either sacrificing speed or sacrificing height at the basket.
However, the Lakers responded to both options.
Bogut still had an immediate effect after his appearance. He added Curry's three-pointer to the basket, breaking the scoring drought of the two teams for several minutes.
Chapter completed!
