Although the Warriors were a little surprised that Nick Young of the Lakers suddenly broke out and caught up with the score difference, but... this did not make Cole feel nervous at all. He even said directly to the team members: The Lakers actually have to rely on
A crazy player came to chase the points, which actually means that they are at the end of their game. If we play normally in the fourth quarter, we will win.
Come on, everyone, end this game, and then...sweep your opponents and advance to the finals!
Sweep... The Warriors are now thinking of sweeping the Lakers. This is really a turn of events. Last year at this time, it was the Lakers that pushed the Warriors to a desperate situation. The Warriors players also responded together, because they felt that the main goal was to sweep the Lakers.
What the coach said was not wrong. The Lakers relied on Nick Young's explosion to catch up with the score. But there was nothing they could do and they were about to expire.
Cole is not the only one who thinks this way. There are many people who think this way. Some media in the outside world can't even stop and typed out the tragic situation of the Lakers being "eliminated" on their laptops. Then Thor.
Bert also wrote an eye-catching article in advance called - Last season's champions were extremely lucky, but if they succeed this season, they will accomplish nothing.
This is also the habit of the media, whether it is foreign or domestic, it is the same, there is not much difference.
Besides, Tang Qian had suppressed them so hard before, which made them want to take advantage of Tang Qian whenever they found an opportunity.
Let him know what authoritative media in North America means and what it means to drown people in spittle.
The Warriors have played a little too carelessly during this period, and their shooting percentage is not high. Of course, the Lakers are similar. But they are all low shooting percentages, which is what the Lakers want now on the 29th. Because this means
, couldn't open up the score. After seeing the game time entering the tenth minute, Tang Qian took a deep breath, nodded to Larry Brown off the court, and then signaled that he was going to take over the game.
The whole team also supports this situation, because this is the superstar time. In addition, during this period, everyone's shooting rate is not high. It's no problem for you to take over. Besides, Tang Qian played very selflessly and as a team in the first three quarters.
It's very collective, which also makes the Lakers players' enthusiasm in this game much higher than in the previous two games. The offense needs enthusiasm, and the defense... needs it even more. Without enthusiasm in defense, no matter how strong the defensive team is, it will be in disarray.
The Lakers quickly put in an unlimited defensive lineup, and then had to fight their opponents to the death.
It’s true that the whole thing has been delayed until now, and the Lakers have done their best. The strength of this team has exceeded people’s expectations and also exceeded the expectations of the Lakers. If it is said that the Warriors still have enough energy to play and are relaxed.
, the Lakers just managed to get to this point. You can even say that there was a bit of luck in it. Without the deflection of the whistle, without Yang Shaoxia's explosion at the end of the third quarter, the score might not be the same now.
But no matter what, the Lakers are not far behind the Warriors now.
The score difference is still only 6 points.
But one thing cannot be denied, that is, it is much easier for the Warriors to score than the Lakers. So before the fourth quarter, Larry Brown publicly said, what you have to do in the fourth quarter is,
Defend well and reduce the opponent's shooting percentage, so that our tyrant can take over the game and lead the team to win.
This is what Tang Qian has to do now, so it is what the team needs. If he did this the whole game before, it is not what the team needs.
With the support of the whole team, Tang Qian went up and suddenly made an insertion. Then Rondo understood it and made a high throw. The ball was directed towards the basket. Boom~ No. 29's huge body of over 325 pounds was already hanging on the
It was above the Warriors' basket. It was still four points away. The Warriors were passing and cutting without the ball. Green cut in and licked the basket, and was directly slapped by Tang Qian and sent to Java.
The Lakers fell into a positional battle, and then Rondo lobbed the ball to Tang Qian. After Tang Qian held the ball, he attacked fiercely! He turned around, pushed away McGee behind him, and then dunked hard into the Warriors.
In the basket, there was still 2 points left. The Warriors are the Warriors after all, how can they be reversed so easily? As soon as Durant broke through, Thompson took a step forward and hit a mid-range throw.
Still 4 points.
As for the Lakers, this time Tang Qian came out and made a pick-and-roll. Butler rushed in and wanted to pass the ball to Tang Qian on the other side, but Green stretched out his long arm and touched the ball directly. The Warriors push quickly.
, but this time the Lakers reacted very quickly, because they were in an unlimited defensive lineup, which meant that the speed and speed were greatly improved. In addition, Larry Brown made it very clear that their main goal was to defend, so the Warriors
The defensive counterattack was held back this time and did not come out. But they are not like last season now. If they can't come up with it, there are many ways to do it. A fake screen from the corner position, Curry dribbled one step behind and shot directly.
This is not a three-pointer, but it is also a relatively well-prepared two-pointer.
This ball showed Covington's defensive talent. He rushed over, stretched out his long arms, and touched the ball the moment Curry took action.
Although the ball still hit the basket, it was deflected and did not go in. Tang Qian grabbed the rebound and immediately gave it to Rondo to avoid being forced away by the Warriors. The Warriors are very good at this. Rondo
He took the ball more and moved steadily through the half. Although his offensive ability is not as good as Curry's, his passing organization ability is also unmatched by Curry. Do you really think that several assists champions are for nothing? As long as he has the ball
Quan is a strong contender for the assists title. You have to know that, with the two assists titles with the Lakers, he is already the 4th assists title. This is historically ranked high, right?
Of course, Yuan Shikong was also the assists leader last season, which means there is only one more player currently.
The four-time assist leader is enough to rank among the top six in history, and the person he surpassed is very interesting, that is Lakers head coach Larry Brown. Yes, Larry Brown was in the ABA in the 1967-70 season.
He also once led 3 consecutive assists. The NBA now calculates ABA honors, so he has surpassed Larry Brown. He is currently among the top six assist leaders in history with Kevin Porter, Chris Paul, and Magic Johnson.
Above. Because these four people are tied, we won’t break them down. If you want to break into the top five, you must match Kidd’s five-time assist king.
Therefore, his passing skills are still much better than Curry. He saw the opportunity and passed the ball directly to Tang Qian. Tang Qian wanted to stay in the low post and turned around to play. This ball Green wanted to help defend and block the shot.
, but they hooked up right where they were.
Swipe~ hit~ still 2 points away~
It seems that now Tang Qian has completely mastered the technique of the right hand small hook, and can use it as a conventional weapon to attack cities. This also adds a powerful touch to his offensive mode. At least it is technical.
first step.
The Warriors still played very elegantly and calmly. They were so calm and unhurried when it came to shooting, as if they were training. Then after the ball was released, it was slapped high by a figure rushing over. The ball exploded high.
While Tang Qian was still blocking the shot, he felt something, and then shouted directly from the sky: "GO!!!!!!!!!"
No one reacted. The only person who reacted was Rondo, who had been preparing to pick up the floor ball to increase his rebounding data...
I saw Rondo rushing out directly, and then the basketball was suddenly swiped away from the three-point line by Tang Qian. The ball was blocked very accurately, so Tang Qian felt that he could block it with a slap in the air.
It went very far. With this ball, Rondo, with lightning speed, directly stole a single and scored 2 points. The Lakers tied the score. But the Warriors did not call a timeout, and you were also in their face.
I couldn't see too much emotion, because they came over with a top shot three-pointer, and it was Durant. There was nothing you could do about it. Either Ariza didn't have any defense, or... the opponent still went in.
Durant is really liberated in the Warriors. No wonder he said that he has tasted the joy of high-level basketball.
It is indeed very happy. How could you not be happy? There are one-on-one opportunities everywhere.
How cool isn’t it?
I want to see who else dares to play me after I win this game! Say I can’t beat the Lakers!!!
Durant seemed ready to have a blast on Twitter after the game using his trumpet.
He has this personality. He is obviously a big star and a rich man, but like ordinary netizens, he is addicted to online trolling.
How about calling him "Sisi Du" or "Migrant Workers Du"? This kind of temperament is really innate.
Tang Qian ignored the cheers from Oracle Arena, attacked directly in the low post, turned around and... dunked!!!
The continuous dunks caused the cheers at Oracle Arena to subside in an instant, but the opponent quickly gave it to Durant.
Because the Lakers' defensive attention and concentration have increased during this period. At the last moment, the score difference is not as big as before, so the defensive intensity will naturally increase. In addition, now it is the Lakers'
Unlimited defensive lineup changes were on the court, and Larry Brown kept yelling off the court: physical confrontation, give them physical confrontation!!!
So the Warriors' tactical operation during this period has been a bit stagnant. Do they really regard the Lakers' history and defense as nothing? The score difference in the first two games was too big, and Tang Qian was playing alone, and everyone touched the ball.
Not enough, plus the loss, naturally the mood and enthusiasm are not high, but this time is different. Because of the protection of the whistle, the referee will not call too much body hair fouls when the confrontation is really going on. Therefore, the Warriors can only run.
When that didn't work, he gave it to Kevin Durant.
Durant is indeed very strong and his shooting ability is invincible, but not all of them can make the shot. Ariza also defends with all his strength. Anyway, the offensive end is basically taken care of by No. 29, and they can also save all their offensive energy.
Used on the defensive end. But Durant is Durant after all, and he still shot 2 of 4, with a shooting rate of 50%. This is always a very efficient shooting rate from the outside.
Faced with this, Durant himself is still a little dissatisfied. He thinks he should hit higher.
Look down on Ariza? Really look down on him. I'm sorry. One-on-one, he looks down on anyone.
When Jordan came, he played the same way. He didn't think Jordan could defend him, at least not under modern rules.
This is his self-confidence.
But on the Lakers side, No. 29 made a wave of 4-for-4 shots!!! This is a bit fatal!!! You have to know that if the shooting rate is too high, it will be difficult for the opponent to counterattack. The Lakers
The team is not the kind of team with old arms and legs. Everyone is still running very neatly, so as long as Tang Qian's shooting rate is high enough, the opponent cannot effectively organize and play faster. Similar to the three consecutive championships back then.
O'Neal forced his opponent into the position to attack.
The Warriors came to double-team? Tang Qian made a precise ball, giving Butler a chance to hit the basket directly from the outside. Green wanted to help defend but was suddenly covered by No. 29 in the low post without the ball. Slow down, Bart.
Le rushed into the back basket and caused an AND.ONE!
The Warriors will not show weakness on the offensive end. They are the bravest team in the universe. They have the most terrifying firepower this season. They have averaged close to 120 points per game in the playoffs so far. Think about it. Curry directly gave
A super long-distance pass. This ball was actually played ten years ago. It was very unreasonable. The opponent made no mistakes. Why are you playing a long pass? And forget it, the receiver is still the one who receives the ball.
The reverse pull did not get close to the basket, so the choice was to stay away from the basket, and then... it went around and made a long three-point shot.
Thompson hit a three-pointer.
This Warriors team is really good. The three-point shooting accuracy is too high. Unlike the Rockets, although they shoot a lot, they are not so stable. Harden's own three-point shooting rate in the playoffs is very worrying.
. This season, there are only over 20% three-pointers. How can the stability compare with that of the Tsunami brothers?
But the Lakers still had Tang Qian leading the offense. After he and Rondo picked and rolled from the high post, they charged straight down. The speed was too fast and the impact was too strong. Pachulia was rushed past by No. 29 without paying attention, and then he was furious with one hand.
Dunk the Warriors' basket! Boom~ Thompson, who came over to help defend, saw this posture, but chose...forget it, and retreated directly to the baseline. Because he felt that the ball had no point at all.
The chances of winning are high. I will be tortured when I go up. It is also easy for the opponent to get a 2+1. So I just give the green light.
The Warriors felt that the Lakers' defensive strength suddenly increased, and the scale was also beneficial to them. The intensity was too high, which made some of their tactics and movements not very smooth. But they had nothing to complain about, because Xiao Hua's
They have known this for a long time. So they just keep fighting. They believe that their personal abilities are enough to win.
Do you understand that the cards are crushed?
However, they still underestimated the Lakers' determination tonight, and after trying their best to defend throughout the whole process, as long as the whistle is favorable, the shooting rate will not decline. The Warriors did not choose to use superstar singles at this time, and made a small mistake. Of course
Maybe they thought they could win if they didn't do this. The pass was blocked by the Lakers after the corner screen, and Ariza directly intercepted the pass. On the fast break, Green was
I pressed the back of my head, but this ball...
Tang Qian who followed him actually got it!
This guy is so active on the fast break??? What kind of physical fitness does he have? I remember... He seems to have not rested for a minute so far, right? Offense and defense are integrated, and at this time, he can still play fast break?
?Isn’t he...sick?
Is he sick? He knew it right away. Green wanted to rush in and make a sudden score, but he bumped into 29 Hao and was immediately...rebounded. He walked away!!! Green was confused!!!
Tang Qian of the Lakers played a low single on the right side, squeezing his back and turning around to take a hard hit with one step. Green naturally came over to help defend, but as soon as he moved the ball, he saw the basketball flying past him.
In the past, it went directly to Covington near the bottom corner. Covington made a 3-pointer and hit!!!!!!!!!
The Lakers were already leading by 6 points without knowing it. It looked great. But the netizens in China immediately lamented, because the Oakland Cosmos immediately launched a wave of attacks. The tsunami hit the library.
The top arc went directly around the weak side for a long-distance three-pointer. Rondo defended the ball in time enough that he almost blocked it, but it still went in! Next, Curry intercepted the pass to Tang Qian and crossed it directly.
In the middle of the half, Thompson made a two-handed long pass and prepared to shoot. Butler of the Lakers was the fastest in pursuit and wanted to interfere, but Thompson did not turn around or look back, and gave the ball to the other side for a three-pointer.
Wire.
Who was following up there if it wasn’t Curry? Curry hit a three-pointer with just a raise of his hand!!!
This tacit understanding is truly the core system that has been in place for several years.
Forget it, Tang sneaked into the paint and caused a foul. After making 1 of 2 free throws, they came over with another three-pointer from Kevin Durant!!! This...it was a 9 all of a sudden.
-1 came out. 3 consecutive three-pointers. The score difference was instantly overtaken by 2 points. No, not only, Iguodala also came up and found an opportunity and missed one, and he also went in!
5 points!!! In just over 1 minute, they counterattacked. This Warriors team really has unrivaled offensive firepower.
However, instead of being suppressed, the defensive coefficient of the Lakers has become stronger. The large amount of physical confrontation made the Tsunami brothers okay and able to withstand it, but it was probably a lot harder for the rest of them. Tactical running and
It became difficult to move through air cuts, and he failed to score for 2 consecutive times. Cole was too confident, or too stubborn. After gaining a big advantage, he just liked to make some showy moves. If now he directly chooses
Dooku's unlimited singles, it's the last time anyway, and the Lakers estimate that no matter how tough the defense is, they can't completely block it. In that case, the game will be lost.
But he didn't do that. Instead, he continued to use tactics and role players to attack, with the attitude that this is how I want to play the max level account.
What can you do to me?
This is also an opportunity for the Lakers, and they must seize it.
Two big-scoring victories made the Warriors feel a little bit disoriented. Tang Qian looked at the time and began to attack the whole game.
If you don't have unlimited singles, then let's do it. The score difference is very tight now, and every point is crucial. We really don't have as much offensive capital as you, so we play it safe. Tang Qian's singles are too
Fierce, and because he started passing the ball today, whenever he was double-teamed, he would release the ball with certainty and ruthlessness, so the double-teaming was not as strong as before.
Because I have concerns.
Curry passed the ball behind the back and made a fuss. No, it was intercepted. After being suppressed for a whole game, Rondo finally defended the Warriors' No. 30 face to face. Curry just likes to wave.
I like to show off, and although I am very capable, there are quite a few "reverse highlight" shots due to mistakes like this at critical moments. This shot is that after Rondo got the ball, he went straight down. What is shocking is that it was the Lakers' shot again.
No. 29 was the most aggressive and quick in launching. Green was also confused. He wanted to use his body to block Tang Qian's full-speed straight impact, and then... he was pushed away, and he almost staggered.
.
Since there was no one in front of him, Tang Qian, who rushed up, had no scruples and smashed the basket angrily again.
This is the 7th dunk tonight.
Mainly concentrated in the second half, the fourth quarter.
The Warriors are also unhappy. How many times can you do this? Do you really think your physical fitness is free?
Here, the Warriors' coaching staff made another mistake. They have been thinking for so long that No. 29's physical fitness should be declining, so as long as he does not score, there will be an opportunity to defend and counterattack. The victory will be established in one fell swoop.
.Yes, Cole's idea is really good. Under normal circumstances, there is no problem with his calculation. Even Tang Qian now can't do it without being tired at all after a high-intensity fight in a game.
He has lost his status. Unfortunately...he is now a god descending to earth.
What does it mean for the gods to come down to earth? It means Zhang Huimei, oh, no, it means not tired at all.
Not tired at all.
I can still have fun for three more days and three nights.
Yes, so Cole and the Warriors miscalculated. Only a ghost could have imagined that Tang Qian made 11 of 12 shots in the fourth quarter, including free throws, scoring a total of 27 points. The shooting rate was as high as 91.7%!!! The Warriors'
The field goal percentage in the quarter is not low, reaching nearly 50%. In fact, it is already exaggerated, because the Lakers' defense tonight is very strong, and the whistle is also biased. They can still hit such a field goal rate, which is unparalleled in the world.
The offensive power is really extraordinary. However, Tang Qian alone improved the Lakers' shooting percentage so much. The Lakers scored 38 points in a single quarter and successfully reversed the Warriors' game.
When Curry made a meaningless three-pointer, the game ended. Tang Qian's game was really called a Predator without a second of rest. He played the whole game! 48 minutes
!Fighted to the end! He also scored almost perfect statistics in this game. Although he scored only 33 points, which was much less than the previous two games, he scored 29 rebounds, 7 blocks, and 7 assists.
Data. Also because of his passing, the Lakers' offense was much more flexible tonight than before, and their offense was much more unpredictable.
The Lakers defeated the Warriors by 2 points, 99-97.
Butler scored 22 points, Nick Young scored 14 points, and Covington scored 9 points. Most of them were scored. Compared with previous games, that kind of scoring distribution is called Lakers VS Warriors tonight.
Tang Qian VS Warriors.
The Warriors paid a certain price for their carelessness. Even the Tsunami Brothers still scored nearly 70 points.
However, some people say that this game was won by taking advantage of the whistles, because the Lakers had at least one-third more whistles than the Warriors. But it doesn’t matter, because this is the way the league is now.
"Unwritten rules", if you can't change it, just accept it with peace of mind. Haven't the Lakers never complained about the opponent's whistle advantage before?
This is all fair, otherwise you will be two games behind. Let's see if you will be treated like this.
But no matter what, I finally stole the show.
The big score is 1-2.
Tang Qian looked at the series scores on Oracle's big screen and breathed a sigh of relief.
PS: I’ll give you a 6k chapter, and then we’ll have another date tonight~~~
