Chapter 320 The Third Battle of the Eastern Finals
The Warriors played 50:32 in the entire third quarter!
The Warriors scored a terrifying 50 points in a single quarter!
Yong Sanfeng really deserves his reputation!
At the end of the first half, the Warriors only led by 9 points. At the end of the third quarter, the Warriors already led by 27 points!
This is the result of fighting against the Warriors!
The best performer in the third quarter was of course Curry.
Deng Fang assigned four shooters to Curry. Curry attacked with the ball and combined with sudden shots, scoring 28 points in a single quarter!
Curry made 6 three-pointers in this quarter alone!
This is the rhythm of the day!
Including the 25 points scored in the first half, Curry has scored 53 points!
In addition, Curry also sent out 11 assists in the first half, and went even higher in the third quarter, sending out another 6 assists!
Altogether, there are 17 assists.
Of course, Kobe also performed very well, scoring 18 points in a single quarter, plus 20 points in the first half, Kobe also scored 38 points!
Although he took 29 shots, which was not very efficient, Kobe already scored a lot of points.
After all, Kobe has to face the strongest defensive front line in the league.
Logically speaking, Kobe Bryant scored 38 points in three quarters, and it was impossible for the Lakers to fall behind.
But now the Lakers are not only lagging behind, but also losing by nearly 30 points!
Why?
Because there is a more terrifying scoring machine on the opposite side!
No matter what the reason is, in short, as long as Curry is given the right teammates, his scoring ability will be unmatched!
Soon, the fourth quarter began.
No matter how many points we lose, we will never admit defeat directly in the playoffs.
Especially when the score is 0:2 behind.
No matter how small the possibility is, try it!
The Lakers replaced the Twin Towers.
Bynum sat on the bench for a long time, and Fisher played too much time.
The five players on the court for the Lakers are Bynum, Gasol, Odom, Kobe Bryant, and Farmar.
The Warriors replaced Livingston, Azubuike, Prince, Radmanovic and DeAndre Jordan.
Kobe insisted on staying on the court and continuing to fight, and young Azubuike had no problem.
Even Prince is smaller than Kobe.
And Prince's consumption is much less than that of Kobe.
The Lakers' lineup is all about playing inside.
Of course the Warriors won't let the Lakers succeed.
With Odom on the court, it's just a double attack!
Prince almost ignored Odom. He and Radmanovic guarded Gasol and did not give the Lakers any chance to attack inside.
I just bullied you for not having three points!
Although there is no Curry, although Kobe is still fierce, relying on airtight defense, the Warriors are still inextricably tied with the Lakers.
Five minutes passed and there was no change in the score difference.
In desperation, the Lakers replaced the twin towers, Odom played center, and once again replaced the small lineup.
The Warriors also replaced Radmanovic and replaced him with Laga Bell.
The Iron Locked Bronze Man Formation appears again.
We're nearly 30 points ahead, just hold on.
Curry has been beaten twice and fallen to the ground countless times, but this point difference is still no better.
It would be troublesome if it got hurt.
The game lasted another 4 minutes, and the Lakers only recovered 2 points!
The game completely lost its suspense.
Looking at the score on the court, A. Smith shook his head and said: "I didn't expect the Lakers to be so miserable and lose so much when they returned to their home court! I thought they could come back!"
"Yes, I thought so too." Reggie Miller said: "After the first two games, the gap between the two teams became smaller and smaller. I thought the Lakers would win this game. After all, they are the defending champions.
!It turned out to be an illusion!”
"Actually, the Lakers only lost the third quarter, and they didn't lose much in the previous quarter!" A. Smith said: "It seems that how to solve Yong San's madness has become a problem of the century!"
…
Soon, the game was over.
The final score was fixed at 143:118!
Warriors win by 25 points!
The big score is 3:0, there is no suspense in the series!
The defending champion is only one step away from being eliminated!
Curry played 31 minutes in the entire game, hit 11 three-pointers, scored 53 points, sent 20 assists, 11 rebounds, and 5 steals!
What horrific data!
20 assists means that at least 40 points are directly related to Curry!
Including Curry's 53 points, at least 100 of the 143 points scored by the Warriors were directly or indirectly related to Curry.
And Curry only played a little more than thirty minutes!
This is the result of small lineups fighting against each other!
Fighting with the Warriors on offense and competing with Curry for three-pointers will definitely make you die ugly!
Kobe also performed well. He played 41 minutes, took 34 shots, and scored 42 points, 6 assists, 13 rebounds, and 4 steals.
But Kobe also made 5 mistakes.
In an offensive battle with a small lineup, everyone's statistics are very impressive!
Especially the team boss, because he is the ball holder, he benefits even more!
After the game, I waited for a long time before Deng appeared in the interview booth.
You have a big hand, but you still need to have a good reputation!
"How is Lopez's injury?"
This is a problem that many people worry about.
Injuries are always the most important off-field factors.
"It's not serious, but you need to rest for two or three days."
Deng Fang did not lie. Lopez did conduct an inspection and found that the problem was not serious.
The medical conditions in Los Angeles are still very good.
"If you rest for two or three days, you won't be able to catch up with the next game!" A reporter asked: "Will your manpower be very tight?"
"No problem!" Deng Fang replied: "Our personnel are neat and tidy, and missing one big Lopez will not affect the formation of the team."
"Is Curry's injury serious?"
Curry was also hit two or three times and fell to the ground several times.
At least the injuries to the eyes and forehead are obvious.
As the leader of the Warriors, Curry must be the first person to be targeted!
"It's not a big problem." Deng Fang replied: "I will definitely be able to fight in the next game!"
"How would you rate Curry's performance in this game?"
This was a question for free points, and it was clearly meant for Deng Fang to pretend to be X.
"Basic operations." Deng Fang replied: "About 80 points, the score is not low, the assists are qualified, and the rebounds are a little short."
"Kobe's scoring ability has always been the best in the league, but in this game Kobe was completely outclassed by Curry. What is the biggest difference between the two?"
"Curry plays more reasonably, Curry's three-pointers are more accurate, and Curry is more adaptable!" Deng Fang replied.
The reporters still recognized Deng Fang's answer.
Curry rarely makes a forced shot, except for super long three-pointers!
Even if he seems to be throwing super long three-pointers randomly, Curry's shooting percentage is still very high!
Curry's shooting percentage this season reached 48.1% from a distance of more than 30 feet, which is 9.14 meters away!
How incredible is this hit rate?
What you need to know is that the league's two-point shooting percentage this season is only 49%!
The shooting percentage of two-pointers is only slightly higher than Curry's super long three-pointers!
