Chapter 561 Losing Home Field Advantage
As the game continued, the mentality of the Lakers players began to change. Being pressured and beaten by their opponents made them gradually lose their confidence from the beginning, and this change also made them lose their confidence in the game. Among them, his performance became worse and worse. Although several experienced players such as Ye Xuan were still persisting, players like Clarkson, who played in the playoffs for the first time, showed a straight-line performance on the court. downward trend.

Seeing that the situation was not right, Walton could only be forced to call a timeout again. After the timeout ended, the Lakers could only temporarily abandon Clarkson and Randall, because their performance under heavy pressure was really bad. Some people are unsatisfactory, but on the contrary, Nick Young's heartless character has played a role at this time. He was not affected by the score behind and can still play a good role on the court. If it wasn't because his defense was indeed a bit too bad, then the Lakers could regard him as the main force.

The game continued, because the opponent's state today was indeed too perverted, so Ye Xuan also had to use his strongest form. When there were about 4 minutes left in the third quarter, he had to fight when the ball was dead. The large stamina recovery potion was taken away, and the Warriors also made some substitutions. After the substitutions, they suddenly found that Ye Xuan's state was a bit different.

Although the Warriors lead by 19 points, facing a team with Ye Xuan, they still dare not be careless, so after the substitution, they still have Klay Thompson and Green leading the bench on the field. They play ball.Ye Xuan, who was opposite them, started his crazy scoring mode. He scored 26 points in the first quarter. He returned the touch, so he only scored 11 points in a single quarter, but in the third quarter, he still failed to get his teammates back to their form, so now he can only restart the scoring mode in the first quarter. Before, he Only 9 points were scored in this quarter.

However, in the next three minutes or so, Ye Xuan's sudden outburst did make the Warriors feel what it means to be the number one scorer in the league. Clark forcibly hit a three-pointer, and then after breaking through Ian Clark, he forced a two-plus-one in the face of Green's supplementary defense. The ball that can be judged or not is generally given some preferential treatment by the home team, so it cannot be regarded as a black whistle or the like.

The Warriors got a little flustered by being beaten by Ye Xuan alone. Fortunately, Cole is a sensible person and immediately called a timeout. Ye Xuan focused on defense.After the timeout ended, the Warriors replaced Durant, who had rested for less than 3 minutes, in order to be able to have a point on the offensive end that could confront Ye Xuan, and this arrangement did allow the Lakers to The momentum of chasing points has stagnated.

Although Ye Xuan was still able to continue to help the Lakers score, the Warriors could also find some scoring opportunities, so although Ye Xuan scored 12 points in the last three minutes of the third quarter, but The Lakers still trailed the Warriors by 13 points at the end of this quarter.

The fourth quarter began in a blink of an eye, and the Lakers still continued to let Ye Xuan play, which felt a bit similar to the Cavaliers in the East. In case of indecision, James would be played. Ye Xuan decided to let Ye Xuan play alone for a long time. The Lakers served in the backcourt. Ye Xuan controlled the basketball and came to the frontcourt. Facing the leader Iguodala, Ye Xuan decisively chose to break through directly, but the Warriors Regarding Ye Xuan's defense, he didn't dare to relax at all. Green immediately came over to defend and double-team. Ye Xuan didn't choose to pass the ball this time. After leaning on Green, he changed hands in the air and threw the ball.

Looking back, the Warriors also immediately wanted Durant to return one, but Durant's shot did not make a hit, and Hibbert took the rebound.In the next round, Ye Xuan chose singles again, and after forcibly using his body to pass Iguodala, Ye Xuan directly faced Drummond Green's defense with a one-handed dunk. Burt interfered for a while, and it was too late when he wanted to step forward to defend. Not only did he not cause any interference to Ye Xuan, but he also made himself a background board.

Turning around, the Warriors still let Durant attack with the ball. Facing Hill's defense, Durant didn't miss again this time. After two consecutive changes of direction, he suddenly pulled up and it was a long-range mid-range shot. The basketball hit steadily. After hitting the ball, Durant's score in this game has reached 30 points unknowingly, although it is much worse than Ye Xuan's monster who has scored more than 50 points. , but it is already considered a good enough playoff scoring performance.

On the other hand, Ye Xuan still didn't give up chasing points. After controlling the ball to the front court, he made an emergency stop after a change of direction, then started to accelerate again and successfully got rid of Iguodala's defense. It was about to dunk, but Thompson wanted to foul but was not decisive, but gave Ye Xuan a 2+1 chance. Ye Xuan, who was held by Thompson with one hand, threw the ball to the basket with the other hand in the air. Go in!

After the ball was hit, Ye Xuan also got a chance to add a penalty, and the penalty was also made. The point difference between the two teams was reduced to 8 points. This point difference is for the Lakers, which ranks first in the league in scoring ability. It was no longer a problem, and Ye Xuan's performance of scoring all the Lakers' 9 consecutive offenses during this period also shocked the audience.

After the extra penalty shot, the Warriors were forced to call a timeout. They cannot lose this game, and they dare not lose, because once they lose this game, whether it is from the morale of the opponent or from their own side There will be a big change in mentality, especially in this game, the Warriors once led their opponents by 19 points.

The timeout ended, and the Lakers replaced Wade and Gasol, obviously preparing to start the final decisive battle. For the Warriors, this is not bad news, because after Wade Gasol came up , Ye Xuan's offense may not be so resolute, he may choose to pass the ball after double-teaming, and the shooting percentage of other Lakers players today is certainly better for the Warriors than letting Ye Xuan attack the basket a lot of.

But they still underestimated Ye Xuan's determination to score.In the next attack after returning from the timeout, although Ye Xuan was double-teamed by the two after breaking in, he still did not choose to pass the ball, but forced Curry to hit the ball for a layup. The sudden explosive force scared Curry to let go quickly, otherwise Curry's hand holding Ye Xuan's jersey might be dislocated by this strange force.Two plus one again, this time the point difference has been reduced to 5 points. The Warriors are facing a big enemy. Fortunately, Thompson stood up at this time and lay in ambush near the bottom corner for 15 seconds. After using the pick-and-roll to break through the ball, he made a decisive shot and hit a three-pointer to help the Warriors stabilize their morale.

After playing singles with the ball for ten consecutive rounds, Ye Xuan couldn't keep up physically, so in the next round, Ye Xuan could only pass the ball to Wade after bringing the ball to the frontcourt. Let Wade attack with the ball, and he is a top pitcher to take a break.The rhythm of the offense was also suppressed. Wade did not start to seek a breakthrough until the countdown to the offense reached 8 seconds, but today his hand feeling is indeed a bit bad, and Thompson who defends him is indeed better defensively among shooting guards. players, so in the end the Lakers' offense still failed to succeed.

The Warriors started to counterattack with Green grabbing the defensive rebound.After Green grabbed the rebound in the backcourt, he slowly controlled the basketball and walked to the frontcourt. Ye Xuan was assisting Curry to defend at this time, but it didn't mean that he would always follow Curry, see the opportunity, and directly cross Green. The pass to Durant was cut off, and then he strode towards the Warriors' halfcourt, with Durant behind him chasing after him, but Ye Xuan also knew that Durant had the ability to chase caps , so after crossing halftime, Ye Xuan deliberately slowed down some speed, and Durant also had to slow down, but at this time Ye Xuan suddenly speeded up again, and it was too late when Durant speeded up again. Ye Xuan made a layup with a low hand and scored two points.

You must know that there are still 8 minutes left in the game, and the Warriors, who once led by nearly 6 points, now have only 7 points of advantage left. They were affected in the next two rounds, which made them unable to hit the ball in the end, and Ye Xuan's physical strength was finally not enough for the Lakers, although the two During the round, he hit a mid-range shot again, but at the same time, he wasted a chance to make a shot. Moreover, in that round, Ye Xuan almost made a mistake and was intercepted by his opponent. Hold on, the Lakers are estimated to be more than [-] points behind again.

When the time came to 6 minutes left in the game, the Lakers now gradually narrowed the point difference to 4 points. Although the Warriors are also scoring continuously, their defense in this quarter is much better than the previous few quarters. It is much worse, so the point difference is constantly being narrowed by the Lakers.

Fortunately, at this time, Ye Xuan's physical strength has been almost exhausted. In the next two or three minutes, Ye Xuan also felt that his physical strength seemed to have reached its limit, and even his wrist would become useless when he made a move. Due to the power situation, he had no choice but to choose to start passing the ball, and this also gave the Warriors a chance to breathe. After a few rounds, the Warriors took advantage of their own scoring points more than the Lakers. Widening the score a bit, Curry also took the opportunity to hit his second three-pointer of the game, and the balance of victory gradually fell to the Warriors.

Although Ye Xuan still insisted on appearing on the court, he knew that the success rate of his physical strength to force singles was not high. Finally, after holding the ball and breaking through the ball again, Ye Xuan fell on the court. Although it wasn't an injury, it was a thigh cramp. Everyone knows that Ye Xuan has unleashed all his energy in this game, but the Warriors' shooting percentage today is much better than the previous game. too much.

The fans at the Staples Arena watched Ye Xuan being helped by the team doctor into the player tunnel. They were silent for a while. After Ye Xuan left the court, the only stable scoring point for the Lakers on the court was gone. In these few minutes, Wade and Gasol's offense with the ball began to improve, but it was still too late. The Lakers eventually lost their second game in the Western Conference Finals 131:123 , The big score also pretended to be a one-to-one tie against the opponent.

The most outstanding performance in this game is naturally Ye Xuan who played 42 minutes. Although it is said that he played 42 minutes, in fact, he only got a chance to rest for 2 minutes after the start of the second quarter. Staying on the court, during the last few minutes of rest time, he had to go back to the locker room to deal with it because of his thigh cramps. Unfortunately, when his cramps eased, the game was over. In 42 minutes of playing time, Ye Xuan made a total of 32 shots, which is why he was so tired that his legs cramped. These 32 shots also returned a super high score of 61 points. Of course, there were also 11 points came from free throws, and all 11 free throws were made. Ye Xuan's shooting percentage was already very high in this game, but in the end it still couldn't help the team win the game.

On the Warriors side, the Big Four scored 96 points together, and the team scored 131 points, which set many historical records, and their three-point shooting percentage today reached a terrifying 34 of 19 shots, exceeding 50.00 %, facing such a horrible shooting percentage, the Lakers are not wronged if they lose.Of course, the biggest problem for the Lakers in this game is this. They failed to contain the opponent's scoring on the defensive end, and they couldn't find the rhythm of the game on the offensive end. In the end, they could only let Ye Xuan force his way to the top by himself. In the end, he could only leave the field with muscle cramps.The media after the game also began to analyze rationally. Judging from the current state of the Lakers, they may not be able to cross the mountain of the Warriors.
