Chapter 572 The Battle of Tianwang Mountain ([-])

In the blink of an eye, the fifth game of the Western Conference Finals is about to start. The Lakers finally returned to their familiar home court. This game is very important to them. It can be said that whoever can win this game will have a higher chance of advancing in an instant.The difference from the previous two games is that the Lakers returned to their familiar home court in this game. I believe that the Lakers can still gain a certain advantage in their devil's home court.

In the formation before the game, the Lakers once again put Hibbert in the starting lineup, allowing him to serve as the starting center to deal with the following scumbag Pachulia, and by the way, he can also be on offense with Ye Xuan Play some fits out.

As the referee threw the ball high, the game officially started. Hibbert used his own bounce to pat the ball into Wade's hands. Wade dribbled two steps forward and quickly handed the ball to Ye Xuan.After the last game, the opponent also found that as long as they can guard Ye Xuan's teammates, and then double-team properly when they are out of touch, then even if Ye Xuan can score [-] points, the Lakers will still be able to win. They still couldn't win the ball, so they didn't choose to target Ye Xuan at the beginning of this game, but took strict precautions against Ye Xuan's teammates.

This is not too cool for the scoring madman Ye Xuan. Since you like to let me go so much, then I will show it off. Facing Klay Thompson's one-man defense, Ye Xuan easily used his body to force him Entering the inside, he took the lead in scoring two points with a back-turning jumper.

All of this seems to be in the plan of the Warriors. After they took the ball to the frontcourt without haste, they immediately passed the ball to Durant in the high position. Pulled up to face Solomon Hill's defense and made a mid-range shot, and it also hit. It seems that Durant feels good today, which makes Ye Xuan a little worried.

But when the next round came, Ye Xuan laughed. After catching the ball, Ye Xuan quickly advanced to the frontcourt. When he looked up, it wasn't Klay Thompson who was defending him, but an 'friendly' elementary school student. Curry, this made Ye Xuan so happy, he immediately made a gesture and asked his teammates to help pull him away, while he kept dribbling the ball under his crotch.

Seeing that his teammates have basically pulled away, Ye Xuan began to slowly control the basketball to approach Curry. When he came to the three-point line, Ye Xuan suddenly accelerated and was about to break through to Curry's right. Hurry up and move sideways to get stuck, while Ye Xuan changed direction after an emergency stop, easily passed the opponent from Curry's left, and then under the defense of the scum in the inside - Pachulia , Forcibly shot the ball and scored a layup.

After throwing the ball, Ye Xuan was very excited. While beckoning to the audience, he also complained to the referee that the ball could be blown 2+1.However, the referee didn't say anything, and Ye Xuan knew what was good and bad. He did this simply to put pressure on the referee, so that when the referee encountered such a penalty in the future, he could not help but favor the Lakers.After all, the three on-duty referees were directly suspended for half a year just now, and the referees are probably a little frightened.

The Warriors, on the other hand, still play steadily and steadily, and because it is an away game, the Warriors' offense appears to be more stable. After Curry controlled the ball and came to the frontcourt, the Warriors began to run tactics. Ray Thompson runs out of space on a Jarrah Pachulia off-ball screen and is about to take a pass from Curry.

Fortunately, Solomon Hill made up the defense in time and interfered with Tangshen's shot, but after seeing someone coming to make up the defense, Tangshen didn't force the shot, but quickly transferred the ball to Durant's hands. After Durant received the ball, he feinted a shot, shook Ye Xuan, who was coming to defend, and dribbled inward, and then made a mid-range shot and scored the ball.

But in the third round, Ye Xuan showed his power again. Facing the opponent's one-man defense, Ye Xuan chose to break through again, and this time after breaking through and entering the penalty area, Ye Xuan did not choose to shoot directly, but feinted. , After deceiving Green, he jumped up and shot again. As a result, not only did Green foul, but he also successfully hit the ball. This time the Warriors couldn't accept it. Taking advantage of Ye Xuan's chance to make free throws, he called Curry and Klay Thompson over, and then asked them to return to the strategy of one person leading defense against Ye Xuan, and the others making up defenses at any time, otherwise this game would not wait for Ye Xuan's teammates to shoot. If he loses, his side will be defeated by him alone.

Ye Xuan naturally made the extra penalty shots steadily, scoring seven points in a row in the opening game, and the rhythm was also very good.The Warriors' offense was not so lucky. After Curry took possession of the ball and came to the frontcourt, he was going to use the pick-and-roll of Slag Pachulia to find opportunities. As a result, his quick three-pointer after the pick-and-roll was blocked. Hibbert pounced on the interference, and Gasol finally accepted the backcourt rebound.

When he came to the frontcourt again, Ye Xuan immediately noticed that the opponent's defensive strategy had changed, and he returned to the familiar script of the previous games, so Ye Xuan decisively made a gesture, signaling Hibbert to step forward to help with the pick-and-roll , and then used Hibbert's pick-and-roll to kill the opponent's inside again. Hibbert also followed the script and ran inward.Zha Zha-Pachulia's uneasy mind was spinning rapidly. Was he double-teaming Ye Xuan, or was he just staring at Hibbert, who was in charge of his defense?This is a good choice, Ye Xuan is more threatening, but he chose the wrong one, three people came to double-team Ye Xuan in an instant, Ye Xuan easily threw the ball to the backboard, and he He had already turned around to celebrate, and Hibbert did not disappoint Ye Xuan, jumping up and pressing the ball into the basket with one hand.

Cole on the sidelines of the Warriors was furious, and immediately imitated his teacher Zhuge Weiqi to blow a hair dryer, but he may have only learned the superficiality, but not the essence, so after the hair dryer was sprayed, the Warriors' offense not only There was no improvement, but a low-level mistake appeared again. Curry and Zha Pachulia picked and rolled again, and then Curry broke through the penalty area and faced the supplementary defense to score the ball. As a result, there was some deviation in the direction of the ball. Passed to the referee outside the field.After the referee grabbed the basketball, he was stunned for a second before calling the Warriors out of bounds.

Before the Lakers sent the ball out, Cole couldn't help it, called a timeout, and was ready to reprimand Curry, who seemed a little absent-minded today, and by the way, scumbag Pachu who didn't do anything. Ria was replaced and Iguodala was replaced. Sure enough, only the dead five can make Cole feel at ease.

After a timeout, the Lakers serve from the sideline. Ye Xuan is still looking for opportunities to play singles, but obviously the newly replaced Iguodala's defense is more difficult to deal with than Thompson's, and it is impossible for Ye Xuan to expend a lot of energy in singles. Therefore, he decisively called Hibbert, who had not been replaced, to help with the pick-and-roll. After this pick-and-roll, Ye Xuan chose to pass the ball again, but it was not passed to Hibbert who was going down, but to Garcia. Sol, the moment Gasol received the ball, he turned his back and passed Green, and then entered the penalty area in two steps and easily hit the ball.

At 11:4, the Lakers hit all 5 offenses at the beginning, and although none of these 7 offenses was a three-pointer, their tough attack on the inside and the Warriors' various fancy tricks also made the Warriors themselves The opponent led by as much as [-] points.

Fortunately, looking back, Klay Thompson immediately hit a difficult three-pointer under Green's off-ball cover. The twisted posture forced the shot to hit the ball, so that the Lakers had no chance to defend.

After being hit by the opponent for this three-pointer, the offensive end of the Lakers was finally solid. Ye Xuan broke through again and passed the ball to the high post Gasol. There was no one guarding Gasol. Green went to Ye Xuan went to defend Ye Xuan, but Durant did not switch positions to pounce on Gasol, which gave Gasol room to shoot, but Gasol himself did not live up to it, and this three-pointer finally ended in a hit. , and Hibbert was called a rebounding foul when he was grabbing a rebound. Wharton Jr. also understood that Hibbert was not very useful on the court now, so he was replaced directly. Clarkson, who was very unstable in the playoffs.

After the substitution was over, the players of the two teams didn't know whether it was because the rhythm of the game was continuously interrupted, so they couldn't feel it at first or what was going on. In the next three and a half minutes, the two teams had a total of only 5 points were scored, of which Clarkson hit the only sports game score, and then Klay Thompson made [-] of [-] free throws, Green made [-] of [-] free throws, and Gasol also made [-] of [-] free throws, everyone started to fight like crazy.

The game time went on unknowingly for 8 minutes. The Warriors took the lead in adjusting personnel. Green, who fouled twice, was replaced first, and Curry, who also performed poorly, was replaced with him. The Lakers also took the opportunity to make personnel adjustments. Wade, Solomon Hill and Gasol were all replaced by Matt Barnes, Speights and Larry Nance Jr. .

In fact, Nance Jr. did not get many chances to play in the playoffs this season. Basically, he only played in garbage time, mainly because the Lakers did not have much demand for the position of the second center, and it was not easy. When the second center needed to be used, Hibbert began to recover again, and then instantly sat firmly on the throne of the Lakers' first center (although his playing time was actually less than 10 minutes per game.)
However, Nance Jr.'s attitude towards the game was finally recognized by Wharton Jr., probably because both of them are juniors.Although Nance Jr.'s performance after he came on the court can't be said to be good, it is still quite satisfactory. After playing for more than two minutes on the court, he scored 2 points, 1 rebound and [-] assist, and was replaced with Ye Xuan to rest up.

At this time, there was a superstar vacuum on the Lakers team, but fortunately, Clarkson, who was a bit nervous, didn't lose his nerve today, but picked up the knife and rested in Ye Xuan, and Wade hadn't been replaced yet. In this more than a minute, he used his singles and breakthroughs to help the Lakers score 6 points in a row. He also sent 4 points and 1 assist. His performance is remarkable.

In contrast, the firepower of the Warriors is naturally stronger than that of the Lakers. After losing the huge pressure on the defensive end, Durant was completely liberated and started various shows with his schoolbag on his back. In the 4 minutes when Li and Green were replaced, he scored 12 points alone, instantly reducing the difference between the two teams to 3 points left.

At the end of the first quarter, the Lakers finally guaranteed a three-point lead in their appearance. Although Walton's substitution strategy did not have any major problems in the end, it was still met by Van Gundy who was commenting on the spot today. In such a critical game, a team with three All-Star players will have a superstar vacuum period of up to 2 minutes, which is fatal to the team. If it is not for Clarkson They have performed well during this period of time, and if Walton Jr. is saved, the Lakers are now behind.

The rest time was over in a blink of an eye, and the second quarter began. The Lakers took the lead in replacing Randall, who hadn't gotten playing time in the entire first quarter, and then the old Wade also finished his rest and returned to the battle.The Warriors let Durant and Thompson, who had been tired for a whole quarter, go down to rest for a while, and replaced Curry, who performed poorly in the first quarter. Green had two fouls on his back, so Cole was going to play in the next two. Put him on again in 3 minutes.

Without Ye Xuan's restraint, Curry played fairly well, but today the natives of the Lakers seemed to be a little explosive. Randall was calling the shots in the interior, first grabbing the frontcourt when Wade broke through for a layup. The rebound was dunked successfully, and then he blocked Clark's breakthrough layup in defense. The same is true for Clarkson. First, he successfully interfered with Curry's shooting on the defensive end, and then slipped to the baseline to catch the ball during the fast break A backhand layup succeeded.In an instant, it helped the Lakers play a wave of 6:0. If Cole hadn't reacted quickly and called a timeout, it is estimated that the Warriors would be more than ten points behind.

Seeing that the situation was not right, Cole could only replace Green 1 minute earlier after this timeout. In this way, the score difference was stabilized in the range of five to eight points.
