348 The Sun and the Sky
The Lakers scored a two-pointer, turned around, and the Warriors continued to attack.
As a mature point guard, Curry knows how to pass the ball to the right teammate at the right time, and Thompson is the most suitable teammate at this time.
Curry and Thompson created a small pick-and-roll and passed the ball to Thompson.
However, the Lakers' Pope and Schroeder were very tight on Thompson.
One left and one right surrounded Thompson, with Thompson on the left and right.
There was no chance to take action at all.
But because his hand felt hot just now, he still wanted to take action.
He dribbled the ball and quickly took two steps back, trying to open up and find space to shoot.
However, Schroeder and Pope quickly pounced.
Still not giving him the slightest chance to take action.
Thompson is not a very good player with the ball.
Forced near the sideline by the two men, he quickly passed the ball to Green.
Just like this, time is running out.
Green didn't dare to take action even though he had a wide open space, and passed the ball inside.
But the inside shot failed.
In this way, in the next two rounds, the Warriors' Thomson was locked up by the Lakers' Bao Jia.
There was no chance to take action at all, and although Curry kept moving, Wang Yi was very defensive.
Curry also had no chance to make a move.
In the end, the ball can only be handed to Wiggins, but today's Scarf has already scored 18 points. The 18-point essence of mankind is not for nothing.
In addition, after James came off the court, he seemed to have no desire to attack at all, so he seemed very hesitant when attacking, and finally succeeded.
On the other hand, although Wang Yi passed the opportunity to the Lakers, the Warriors pounced very fiercely.
Green, in particular, seems to be getting in the faces of Lakers players every time.
This makes the Lakers players always a little wary when taking shots, so they failed to hit these two shots.
When there were 10 minutes left on the clock, the Warriors attacked again.
They still wanted to hand the ball to Thompson, but Thompson had no chance to take the shot and finally handed it to Curry.
Although Curry faced Wang Yi's strict defense, there was not much time left to attack, so he had no choice but to throw it away.
Swish——
The friction between the basketball and the basket made a pleasant sound, and the three-pointer was hit.
The score difference was reduced to 10 points.
Looking back to the Lakers offense.
After Wang Yi and Harrell picked and rolled, the ball was passed to the remaining Harrell, but this time Green came from the other side to help defend and blocked Harrell.
The Warriors launched a fast break, and just after Curry dribbled the ball past the center line, he took two steps forward and shot a three-pointer.
This time, because it was during a fast break, Wang Yi failed to keep up with him, and Curry easily hit a three-pointer.
The point difference is only 7 points.
Only two and a half minutes had passed, and the 20-point mark had been reduced to 7 points. Lakers coach Vogel planned to request a timeout again, but after looking at the remaining timeouts, he gritted his teeth and resisted the urge to call a timeout.
There are not many timeouts left. If timeouts are called at the beginning of the fourth quarter, we will face the embarrassing situation of having no timeouts available at the last critical moment.
The Lakers were unable to launch a fast break, so Wang Yi could only stay in the frontcourt.
During the ground battle, the Warriors double-teamed, and Wang Yi passed the ball out again.
This time it was Caruso who caught the ball.
With no one to defend him, he took a shot.
The basketball bounced twice on the rim, but finally climbed out slowly.
Caruso shook his fist in frustration and cursed ***.
Sometimes it's like this, no matter how good your pass is, if it doesn't go in, it won't go in.
In fact, the Lakers' three-point shooting percentage remained at 50% today.
I entered too much before, and it’s time to stop entering now.
Looking back, the Warriors launched a fast break.
This time, although Wang Yi's defense was in place, Green provided a screen for Curry.
Curry used the screen to get rid of Wang Yi, and took a direct shot when he was two steps away from the three-point line.
Wang Yi was a little anxious and forced his way past Green, trying to defend Curry.
However, after being lightly hooked by Green's right foot, Wang Yi was unsteady and jumped directly onto Curry, but Curry had already taken action.
Swish——
Di——
Two sounds in a row.
The ball goes in and the whistle blows.
Curry 31.
For Curry, shooting free throws is as simple as eating and drinking, and he can quickly make extra free throws.
At this point, the Lakers' previous 20-point advantage was reduced to only 3 points in less than 4 minutes.
Can 3 points be called an advantage?
With more than 8 minutes left in the game, three points is not an advantage at all.
The scene became noisy again.
And the noise this time seemed louder than all the previous ones combined.
The Warriors' momentum has been fully restored.
The DJ at the scene encouraged the audience, and there was a huge line of people!
The two commentators were not idle either.
Silver-haired Grant's eyes gleamed with excitement, and his saliva flew everywhere:
" Oh, my... Stephen is here, Stephen is finally here."
Bearded Gartman was also excited and his face was red:
"Lakers, accept Stephen's sanctions. This is our Stephen Curry, the soul of our team."
"As long as Stephen is there, being 20 points behind is not a problem at all."
Lakers coach Vogel couldn't bear it anymore and quickly called a timeout.
During the pause, his expression was extremely solemn.
He understands that the Lakers must not be caught up by the Warriors.
With the Lakers' current lineup, it would be a dead end for the Warriors to catch up. However, there is no way now. The Warriors' Thompson and Green took turns firing, and the point difference was only three points.
It seems that everything indicates that the Lakers are going to die.
James clapped his hands vigorously to encourage the players.
However, in the face of the hard facts, his encouragement seemed so feeble.
After all, facing a strong team like the Warriors, the Lakers lost their two giants, and their teammates had no confidence.
Now that the Warriors are having such an offensive climax again, the confidence accumulated among the Lakers players is even less.
Head coach Vogel even glanced at Wang Yi with some worry. He was afraid that Wang Yi would lose his confidence.
However, when he saw Wang Yi, he saw Wang Yi's eyes flashing, looking extremely excited and expectant.
Vogel secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, Wang Yi has not lost confidence. As long as Wang Yi does not lose confidence, then this game can still be played.
Of course, Vogel didn't have much confidence in the Lakers at this time.
Faced with Ku Hao and Buddha who had a lot of hands.
How can we fight them with only Wang Yi?
There is no way to fight.
But as a coach, he naturally can't say this.
I had no choice but to bite the bullet and ask: "Wang, what are you going to do next?"
Wang Yi jumped twice excitedly: "Fight how you want to fight."
In fact, he doesn't know how to fight him now, but he is very excited to face such a battle.
If you beat the Warriors by 20 points, the game will become more boring as time goes by.
On the contrary, like now, the closer the score is and the crazier the opponent is, the more it arouses his fighting spirit.
