Chapter 1160 [Fierce Showdown, Enter the Seventh Tiebreaker]
Redick made a three-pointer in the final minute and the final score was 137-127, which was not a big difference.
The game was intense, every ball was up for grabs, and the Warriors had a chance to win. But every time they play a smooth offense, Guo Xu will return the color, and almost all of the Lakers' scores are related to Guo Xu.
He played almost the whole game, scoring 70 points, 2 rebounds, 20 assists and 2 steals, shooting more than 60% from the field. This is a new record in the history of the playoffs, Chamberlain has scored 70+20, but it is 20+ rebounds, which is much easier than Guo Xu.
The cores of the two sides will inevitably be pulled out for comparison, and Curry is a little ugly.
He ended up with 26 points and 6 assists, and didn't score a point on 0-of-3 shooting in the final quarter, and the defenders didn't even have a chance to shoot. "Killing Brother Fen" didn't have a chance to kill his brother today, and Seth Curry didn't play.
Online fans discuss the game, and there are more people who are optimistic about the Lakers' promotion, because Guo Xu's data will greatly improve the team's morale. On the contrary, the Warriors players will definitely be hit.
They can't even defend Guo Xu alone, how can they win this series? In this game, their people inside and outside tried to defend Guo Xu, but they all failed.
At the press conference, Guo Xu said: "I didn't deliberately brush the data today, I just wanted to help the team win, I thought the ball that should be thrown was thrown, attracted the bag, and I passed the ball that could assist my teammates." โ
What he said was very simple, but the reporters applauded vigorously, this kind of data is only played by Guo Xu in the entire history of basketball. Before Guo Xu entered the league, other guards could make headlines if they played 30+20 data. Guo Xu has long been accustomed to playing 30+20, and he has 3 times this season, including two in the playoffs.
Guo Xu also commented on his teammates, in addition to him, Horford and Tucker also scored double-doubles, scoring 13 and 16 points respectively, and Tucker made four three-pointers, all of which were three-pointers in the bottom corner.
Commenting on the game, Tyrone Lue was full of confidence, saying, "I think the Lakers are going to advance and win the championship, for the simple reason that we have Jason. The Warriors' stars are outstanding, but they still have a clear gap with Jason. โ
The reporter asked: "Some people questioned you for winning the best coach award before, thinking that you are in difficulty, and adjusting your tactics will only hand over the ball to Jason to deal with, and his ball possession has increased again in this series, what do you think?" โ
"I think there's a star of Jason's level on the team, and if a coach doesn't let him play casually, he shouldn't be in the NBA because he's got something wrong with his brain. It doesn't matter how Jason likes to play, he has his own tactical system, which team can enter the 180 club with overall statistics? โ
The reporters also gave Tyrone Lue a round of applause, and it is annoying to be able to show that he is a coach who relies on stars so confidently, this person is too real.
The only good news for the Warriors is that Curry is relatively strong, he has not been abused by Guo Xu to doubt his life, and said that he will work hard to help the Warriors win and strive to play better.
Game 2 continued on the Warriors' home court, and the Warriors players were brave enough to play a beautiful overall offense. 110-97 pulled one back to make the overall score 1-1.
If they lose another home court, the Warriors will have to go home fishing, and they must work hard to attack with the Lakers as soon as they come up.
Lopez and Nowitzki started together, with Middleton in charge of attacking and organizing with the ball, and the twin towers covering Curry and Redick off the ball on the side to help them create opportunities to catch the ball.
After Lopez covered, he went to the bottom corner to attract the defense, waiting for the opportunity to catch the ball and shoot, Curry couldn't get rid of Guo Xu's words, and he could also pass the ball to Nowitzki, allowing him to play alone in the middle distance.
Curry focuses on playing without the ball, and Guo Xu will also feel uncomfortable, he can't quickly and perfectly bypass the cover every time and complete Curry's closeness. Curry also opened up this game, shooting 8 of 14 from three-point range, making only 5 two-point shots in total, scoring two goals, 2 of 2 free throws, and cutting down 30 points and 5 assists.
All five of his assists went to his teammates on the inside, assisting Lopez for two three-pointers and three for Nowitzki.
Horford's single defense against Nowitzki is not bad and can reduce the shooting percentage of veteran drivers, but he is against Nowitzki, and Lopez is not easy to defend.
Tucker's cameo as the No. 4 is too short to prevent Lรณpez's strong play in the low post. The Lakers sent Nurkic on, and Lopez would pull out to cover catch-and-shoot and create breakaway opportunities for his guard teammates.
The Lakers' weakness of the center can't be solved for the time being, and Nurkic can't do without it, Tyrone Lue gave him 25 minutes to perform, responsible for covering Guo Xu and playing a triangle offense.
Nurkic's stats weren't bad again, with a double-double of 16 points and 10 rebounds. He did off-ball coverage for Guo Xu on the bottom line, and the role of blocking the guard was not small, and the covering effect was better than that of the thin Horford.
Guo Xu scored 45 points and 11 assists in the game, but the Warriors still couldn't prevent it.
In the third game, the Lakers returned to their home court and beat the Warriors by 30 points 120-90 to take a 2-1 overall lead.
The Warriors players had a problem with their collective hand this time, and their shooting percentage was not high, and none of them scored 20+.
Curry shot 5-of-13, 3-of-9 from three-point range and 4-of-4 from the free-throw line, scoring only 17 points and 6 assists, and he also had a game-high 6 turnovers, three of which were directly countered by Guo Xu's steals.
Nowitzki was the only normal performer, finishing with 18 points, six rebounds and three assists on 7-of-11 shooting, 2-of-5 three-pointers and 2-of-3 free throws.
Middleton was defended by Robertson as an undercover agent. In the second game, he was very energetic and scored 27 points. The Lakers took care of him as soon as they came up, and Robertson showed his strengths to the fullest, a kraft candy style defense.
Middleton scored 10 points on 4-of-13 shooting, 1-of-5 three-pointers and 1-of-2 free throws.
Guo Xu was still the most fierce performance in the game, only played 36 minutes, scored 42 points, 3 rebounds, 7 assists and 5 steals, and left work half a quarter early in the final quarter.
In the fourth game, Curry started again, shooting 7 of 13 three-pointers, scoring 38 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists in the game, and together with Lopez, he helped the Warriors win 108-107 on the road, and the overall score was tied at 2-2.
Lopez finished with 25 points, six rebounds and two assists on 7-of-11 shooting, 4-of-9 three-pointers and 7-of-7 free throws, and he hit a shot from the bottom post in the final 4.7 seconds.
The player who can shoot is more reliable than the person who is let go at critical moments, and Green is another undercover agent this time. He played 30 minutes, shooting 2-of-9, 0-of-4 from three-point range and 2-of-4 from the free-throw line, finishing with six points, seven rebounds, three assists and two blocks.
The scales of victory are tilted in the Warriors' favor again, and the crucial "Battle of Tianwang Mountain" is played on the Warriors' home court.
Redick, who has been sleepwalking, played 32 minutes on 10-of-17 shooting, 6-of-11 three-pointers, and 4-of-4 free throws, scoring 30 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist.
Booker, who had been playing against Redick for a long time, was sleepwalking, shooting 1-of-8 from the field and 0-of-5 from three-point range to finish with 2 points and 2 rebounds. In important games, he had a problem with his mentality, and he was burdened with the psychology of wanting to win and being afraid of losing, and he couldn't shoot in the vacant seats.
Guo Xu scored 54 points, 4 rebounds and 8 assists, but his teammates did not give enough support this time, and only he and Horford scored double-doubles in the game, losing 93-104.
It is not so easy for the Warriors to eliminate the Lakers, who have the ability to win as long as they play the right tactics.
In the sixth game, the Lakers, who returned to their home court, defeated the Warriors 115-101, and the overall score was 3-3 and entered the tie-break.
The referees did not favor the Lakers, this Lakers ran crazy under the leadership of Guo Xu, and the players had a high shooting rate, with an overall shooting rate of 51.9% and an overall shooting rate of only 40.2% for the Warriors.
The ratings for this series exploded......
