I'm really not a 3D player

Chapter 313 Next city first!
On the Lakers bench, Zen Master had a headache, he didn't expect the situation on the court to change suddenly.

It was obviously an extremely anxious tug-of-war before, so why did it turn into a blitz in the blink of an eye? !

This is not the worst, the scariest thing is why did the guy opposite suddenly explode? !

Who can withstand such a powerful scoring explosive power!
Phil Jackson felt uneasy and couldn't help but think of the scene when Sun Yi beat the Mavericks in last year's playoffs and set a new playoff single-game scoring high.

If Sun Yi continues to kill the Quartet, the Lakers will not be able to play at all.

In the past, the Lakers relied on the ultimate teamwork to play evenly with the Warriors. Now Sun Yi suddenly broke the balance in an instant. If he wants to continue to maintain this balance, someone must stand up.

In Phil Jackson's mind, such a candidate has long been destined, and it is undoubtedly Kobe.

So the Zen master called Nao Ke to his side to exchange a few words.

"KB, the team needs you to score now. You should know how to do it, but you can't let the young people on the opposite side steal the spotlight."

"Old man, do you think the aggressive method is useful for me?"

Kobe naturally understood what Phil Jackson meant, and continued: "I'm not too old to score, so leave it to me. I'll let the brats on the opposite side know that old is better than old!"

"Then it's settled, I'll start to arrange offensive tactics for you." Zen Master smiled and chatted with him to complete the agreement.

After convincing Kobe, Phil Jackson called the players together and raced against time to plan the next offensive tactics and defensive tactics against Sun Yi.

Not long after, the timeout ended and the game continued.

After returning from the timeout, Kobe was on full fire, using his famous trick fadeaway jumpers to score consecutive points, immediately matching the Warriors' ferocious offensive firepower.

There is no problem with the offense, but there are still problems with the defense.

After Sun Yi realized that he was being targeted by the Lakers, he immediately reduced his singles with the ball and started to play without the ball.

With the bonus effects of the badges [Marksman] and [Catch and Shooter], regardless of whether he is faced with a two-person defense or a three-person defense, as long as he is not blocked, his shooting rate is surprisingly high.

The Lakers have nothing to do now, they can only look forward to a stalemate with the Warriors on offense.

As long as the game is dragged into the decisive moment, they still have a glimmer of hope of winning.

The Lakers' wishful thinking was indeed good, but it didn't work out.

Kobe's scoring ability is indeed very strong, but don't forget that he is 34 years old and his physical fitness is a big problem.

In the last few minutes of the third quarter, Naga's physical fitness had problems, his shooting percentage plummeted, and the basket was banging.

Seeing this situation, Sun Yi immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

This is the "Iron God" in his impression, and the violent output before was all an illusion.

As Kobe missed many strikes, the situation on the field suddenly lost its balance again.

Taking advantage of the Lakers' scoring drought, the Warriors hit a scoring climax and once again opened the point difference to double digits.

In this way, under the leadership of Sun Yi, the Warriors led the Lakers by 90 points 78 to 12 after three quarters and entered the intermission.

After three quarters, Sun Yi had already scored 45 points, 12 rebounds, 8 assists and 2 steals. This performance was quite explosive.

Kobe, who was fully fired, also had an explosive performance, scoring 18 points in a single quarter. After three quarters, he has already scored 38 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists.

Not long after, the inter-quarter break ended and the fourth quarter began.

Sun Yi continued to play to contain the Lakers' defense.

For the Lakers, Kobe did not play, but sat off the court to rest and recover.

Seeing Sun Yi continue to play, Nacai shook his head helplessly, with mixed feelings in his heart.

If he is a few years younger, his physical strength will not be a problem at all.

But now I have to be old!

"It's great to be young!" Kobe muttered as he looked at Sun Yi running on the court.

Back on the court, Sun Yi attracted double-teams, distributed the ball and assisted David Lee to hit a mid-range jumper, continuing to widen the point difference.

Looking back, the Lakers played a tacit teamwork, but Iguodala missed an open three-pointer.

The Warriors played a defensive counterattack, Sun Yi advanced one-stop, forced a foul inside and got two free throws.

Seeing that the score was getting bigger and bigger, Phil Jackson couldn't sit still. Taking advantage of the dead ball, Kobe, who was still sitting on his butt, was replaced on the field to put out the fire.

After substitutions and adjustments, Sun Yi stood on the free throw line and made two steady free throws amidst the MVP cheers of the fans.

The ball is switched and the Lakers attack.

Kobe held the ball in the low post, attracted double teams and then skillfully passed the ball to the middle.

Gasol, who rushed to the basket, received the pass, took advantage of the situation and scored a layup, breaking the Lakers' scoring drought.

It has to be said that the Lakers' offense has indeed improved after Kobe was replaced.

Even if this old guy doesn't do anything, just standing there is quite intimidating.

Seeing that the Lakers were about to take off, Old Nelson immediately made substitutions and adjustments, putting on five defenses of death.

This is the scary thing about the Warriors. They can not only play a terrifying wave of offense, but also play a strong iron-blooded defense.

After the substitutions and adjustments, the Warriors once again played against the Lakers on defense, playing steadily so as not to give their opponents a chance to overtake.

The Lakers were playing very uncomfortable and could not easily break through the Warriors' defense, so how could they recover the point difference.

And every time the point difference is recovered to within ten points, the Warriors have players who stand up and score, opening the point difference again.

That 10-point difference is like a chasm, insurmountable at all!

Just like that, with about two minutes left, the Lakers gave up completely.

It is really difficult to recover a point difference of more than 10 points from the Warriors' iron-clad defense!

In the end, the Warriors defeated the Lakers 118 to 104 and won their first victory in the Western Conference semifinals.

In terms of statistics, 4 Warriors scored in double figures.

Sun Yi was undoubtedly elected as the best player of the game.

在上场的45分钟内，投篮30投21中，三分球12投7中，罚球5罚5中，轰下54分15篮板11助攻3抢断1盖帽的三双数据。

This is his 10th triple-double in his playoff career, surpassing Dashuai Zhang and ranking fifth in NBA history. It is also the first 5+ triple-double in the NBA playoffs.

The performance of the rest of the Warriors is also remarkable.

Curry scored 18 points, 2 rebounds, 8 assists and 1 steal.

大卫-李砍下12分8篮板的准两双数据；板凳匪徒布鲁尔得到10分3篮板2抢断的数据。

For the Lakers, the best player is Kobe.

在上场的44分钟内，投篮32投18中，三分球8投4中，罚球8罚7中，砍下47分7篮板7助攻1抢断1盖帽的全面数据。

As for the other Lakers players, their performance was mediocre.

Nash had a double-double of 11 points and 10 assists; Gasol had a double-double of 17 points and 11 rebounds.

The first game of the Western Conference semifinals between the Warriors and the Lakers came to an end, and the Warriors took the lead!
