628. New lore pose?
A 5-point margin is a fairly safe margin with more than two minutes left, and the Warriors had to chase more than two quarters to catch up.
But now, this safe margin does not belong to the Lakers, but to the Warriors!
D'Antoni had no choice but to call a timeout.
D'Antoni replaced the five small combinations of Clarkson, Kobe, Liu Ren, Antetokounmpo, and Green, and now they can't manage so much, and it matters to win.
This lineup is for offense, but the Warriors' lineup is not big, and the Lakers can also pay attention to it on the defensive end.
Now the Lakers can also control the ball except for Liu Ren, so that Liu Ren can avoid being caught in advance or unable to receive the ball.
At the end of the timeout, the Warriors did not adjust the lineup. Because the Warriors are already the strongest lineup, and Klay Thompson now has the biggest advantage, that is, his physical fitness is the most abundant among the players on the court, and the Lakers only have a new generation of physical ability to blame Liu Ren, but Liu Ren's shooting hand today is really bad.
The Lakers came back, the ball in the frontcourt, Antetokounmpo teed off on the sideline, Kobe Bryant made a state of going out to catch the ball, and Liu Ren took advantage of the cover of Clarkson and Green to run out of the bottom corner on the other side of the serve.
Antetokounmpo's best thing is long passes, and as soon as he saw Liu Ren running out, he immediately threw the ball into Liu Ren's hands with a long pass.
When Liu Ren got the ball, it was an empty position, and he pulled it up and shot a quick three-pointer.
Liu Ren wanted to catch up with the score with a clean three-pointer, but as soon as he shot, Liu Ren felt that he had shot a little less before, and his hand was already a little cold, and the feeling of offense was gone.
After Liu Ren landed, he jumped directly to the inside.
smashed into the hoop and missed the shot, Liu Ren had already flown over, and before the Warriors could react, he flew the ball out on Jason Thompson's head, and the ball flew towards Clarkson.
Clarkson grabbed the ball, Clarkson took the ball, Liu Ren turned around and ran out to reach out to Clarkson again, and Clarkson immediately passed the ball to Liu Ren.
Liu Ren took the ball again, he knew that he didn't feel good, and immediately changed his strategy, facing Barnes who came on defense, Liu Ren accelerated a forced breakthrough and hit Barnes, Barnes still couldn't bear a dead step here, Liu Ren forced Barnes to a position near the basket again, raised his hand and made a shooting feint, Barnes flew, Liu Ren threw a shot.
The power is great! Still missed!
But!
The ruthless Liu Ren jumped up and jumped up between Randle, Barnes, and Jason Thompson and pressed the ball directly into the basket.
3 points difference!
Scored a goal, and the Lakers have a lot of chances to get back into the score!
The Warriors pushed forward again, and Klay Thompson, the new force on the Warriors' side, was entangled by Clarkson, and Klay Thompson yelled at the referee for a foul, because Clarkson was about to hug Klay Thompson, but the referee didn't blow it at this time.
D'Antoni told Clarkson at the timeout that he would rather foul than make up for Klay Thompson's three-point shot.
In desperation, Curry gave the ball to Barnes, Barnes took the ball, and Liu Ren defended closely.
Liu Ren's body was completely tense, and he was engrossed in staring at Barnes, like a leopard staring at his prey, and in Barnes's senses, Liu Ren stared at him viciously like a wolf.
There is nothing to do in the face of Liu Ren Barnes, he still can't stand it after a hard push in front of Liu Ren, although Liu Ren's physical fitness has declined, and the offense just now consumed a lot of physical strength again, but Barnes has played longer than Liu Ren in this game, Wharton has been guarding against this critical moment from the beginning, from the beginning of the game, Klay Thompson has almost nothing else to do except catch and shoot, except for defending Antetokounmpo for a few minutes, other things are done by Curry, Barnes, and Randle.
Barnes could only gamble on his feelings, and retreated sharply to the three-point line to raise his hand to shoot a three-point shot, Liu Ren reacted in a timely manner, and pounced on it for the first time to successfully interfere with Barnes, and Barnes's three-point shot was crooked.
Antetokounmpo and Green under the Lakers' basket desperately stuck the position of the rebound, and Antetokounmpo took the rebound into his arms.
Clarkson took the ball to advance, and Liu Ren signaled Clarkson to play his own low post during the advancement.
Liu Ren had already tried to shoot once just now, and he knew that he didn't feel good today, so he avoided playing tactics that required projection, and chose the low-post tactics with the most lethality.
The Lakers ran over, Clarkson and Antetokounmpo immediately played a high block, Clarkson broke through a step and turned back to dismantle the ball back to Antetokounmpo, Antetokounmpo took the ball and withdrew to 45 degrees, Kobe and Green pulled away from the three-point line at a 5-degree angle on the other side, Green pulled to the bottom line close to the three-point line, these two positions are the best shooting positions for the two, the Warriors dare not go out, and the space is very open.
The space opened up, Liu Ren squeezed Barnes into the three-second zone, turned directly and pressed Barnes to ask for the ball, and Antetokounmbo passed it over.
Barnes had some difficulty defending Liu Ren here, Randle directly let go of Green and came back to wrap up, at this time Liu Ren took the ball and dribbled towards the line, which caused the Warriors' entire defensive center of gravity to move towards the line.
Green cut in as soon as Liu Ren moved, Liu Ren took a step to the line and immediately passed the ball, the ball arrived, and Green received the ball on the edge of the three-second zone and scored a layup.
The Lakers' bench players all jumped out, waving towels desperately, 1 point difference! 1 point left!
In this situation, the Warriors turned around and played more cautiously.
At this time, the Warriors do not seek to open the score, but only to play safe, consume time, and it is best to be able to shoot
Curry held the ball, and when the critical moment came, the team's boss was powerful, and Liu Ren immediately changed his defense.
The Lakers are like this now, whoever the Warriors hold the ball, Liu Ren will defend whoever he wants, without the slightest hesitation.
Curry's first step in getting the ball is to step back, and he has a big step backwards, and one meter across the three-point line is Curry's effective shooting area, as long as Liu Ren dares not to stick it, he will shoot directly.
Liu Ren pounced as Curry expected, Curry suddenly turned around, bypassed Liu Ren, and stuck to the three-point line to shoot directly.
But! Liu Ren's explosiveness was too strong, and immediately after he pounced and landed, he jumped up again and flew towards Curry, and stabbed Curry's ball in the back!
The ball flew to the inside and was grabbed by Randle, Antetokounmpo was close to defend Randle, and Liu Ren immediately rushed in to trap Randle.
Randle was sandwiched between Antetokounmpo and Liu Ren like a hamburger, but Randle had a good pass vision and passed to Curry, who cut in after Liu Ren's bag was sandwiched, and Curry threw a shot to hit.
It's still 3 minutes, and there are less than 100 seconds left!
Time is really running out for the Lakers!
Clarkson's side pushed over, Curry made a crazy steal, constantly putting pressure on Clarkson, and the referee didn't blow it, at this time, as long as it was not a big foul, the referee wouldn't care, otherwise it would be bad to be put on the hat that affected the game.
Don't look at Curry's thin look, but he is really tough, and he used his thin body to force Clarkson to level in the middle, and Clarkson immediately passed the ball to Antetokounmpo.
Antetokounmpo took the ball at the top of the arc, not only was Clarkson forced to defend, but Liu Ren was also bypassed by Barnes, Liu Ren used Green's cover, ran towards it, and Antetokounmpo handed the ball to the ball, which can be regarded as getting the ball safely.
Liu Ren got the ball, and the Warriors immediately doubled and directly doubled, and everyone else was desperately defending the Lakers as long as they were outside the three-point line.
At a critical moment, the Warriors really dare to bet that they don't care about the emptiness under the basket.
Liu Ren stuffed the ball directly into the hands of Clarkson, who was unguarded, and as soon as Clarkson got the ball, the Warriors' rotational defense arrived.
Clarkson wanted to pass back to Liu Ren, but Barnes blocked the passing route, and Clarkson could only give the ball to Kobe, who was already physically exhausted.
Bryant grabbed his jersey and gestured, and all the Lakers players pulled away.
Kobe Bryant faced Curry, not to mention, now Kobe's physical strength, Curry is easy to defend him.
But Kobe Bryant has a jersey in his mouth! The fans all stood up and cheered loudly.
Kobe Bryant heard the cheers of the fans, pulled it up directly, and made a three-point shot! It is said that Zen masters like to use tall guards, and I have to say that tall guards are really easy to use! No matter how serious the physical decline is, but the height will not decline, Kobe Bryant does not jump high, but Curry just didn't interfere in real time, because Kobe Bryant is not afraid of being covered at all!
"Huh!"
Hit! Kobe Bryant hit his tenth three-pointer of the game! Nine three-pointers ahead of Curry!
120 flat!
Kobe Bryant's key three points helped the Lakers tie the score!
Now it's the Warriors' turn to be anxious, as long as they don't score this goal, the advantage will return to the Lakers!
If it was overtime, the Warriors would have been too disadvantaged, and at that time, the Warriors ran with insufficient physical fitness, and the Lakers directly switched to a big man lineup, and the Warriors had no choice but to play.
At this point, the Warriors can only play around Klay Thompson.
They immediately played a no-ball play by Klay Thompson, who ran around the court in a team-wide brawl and finally got the ball on the wing.
Klay Thompson, who got the ball, threw a quick three-pointer in the moment before Clarkson pounced.
Several of the top scorers on the court today went crazy, Curry had 9 three-pointers, Kobe Bryant had 10 three-pointers, Barnes had 4 three-pointers, and Klay Thompson also hit his fifth three-pointer of the game!
123-120, it only took 10 seconds for the Warriors to immediately take back the three-point advantage!
Clarkson advanced with the ball, and the Warriors' defense didn't care about him at all, locking Kobe Bryant and Liu Ren to death, and Clarkson was empty! No one cares about it at all!
Clarkson is a big heart, and what he is most optimistic about by D'Antoni is that the team has so many superstars and young stars with explosive potential, he can play how he wants, and no one can defend and fly directly to the three-pointer......
Sometimes, the heart is too big and not all the benefits, such as easy myocardial infarction......
Bang, iron!
Jason Thompson grabs a defensive rebound at a critical moment! Antetokounmpo and Green immediately grabbed Jason Thompson to grab the ball, and Jason Thompson immediately called a timeout.
At this time, there is nothing to arrange, the players are not physically fit, and it is impossible to run any good tactics, it all depends on personal ability!
The timeout comes back, and the Warriors play the ball in the frontcourt.
The Warriors did their best to get the ball into Klay Thompson's hands, and he took the ball and went straight to the three-pointer!
I don't hit either! Three consecutive three-point shots seemed to have used up Klay Thompson's touch.
Liu Ren grabbed the defensive rebound and directly launched a quick move, and directly counterattacked and made a layup.
With 29 seconds left, the Lakers trailed the Warriors by one point 122-123!
The Warriors called a timeout.
Walton's head was a little swollen, and so many teams in the league could make it so difficult for the Lakers to let the team he lead.
In the last ball, whether to play two points or three points, two points are facing the danger of being tied and playing overtime, but three points are ...... Now the Lakers are very strict about three-point defense.
There is also whether to play fast or delay time, and if you play fast, the Warriors may have an offensive round, because the Lakers are in a hurry to attack, but they will give the Lakers a full 24 seconds of offensive time.
Playing slow can drain time, but if they don't shoot slowly, the Lakers have a chance to shoot next.
Now the Lakers have two key gentlemen, Kobe Bryant and Liu Ren, on the floor, which makes Wharton very hesitant.
Wharton had a headache when he thought about it, so he simply didn't want to think about it, and the "old mistake" he learned from the Zen master made it again, and directly asked the players to watch the game and figure it out by themselves.
The Lakers, on their side, only defended three-pointers, and D'Antoni told all players to defend three-pointers, and if the Warriors scored inside, they would follow them.
After the timeout, the ball went to Randle in the high post first, and everyone else was blocking for Klay Thompson, Klay Thompson finally got the opportunity he was desperate for, and Randle immediately passed the ball over.
Liu Ren immediately pounced in front of Klay Thompson, and the Lakers' defense also shifted to his side, and he had no chance to break through or shoot.
At this time, Klay Thompson suddenly saw a magical picture, Curry cut in from outside the three-point line like that, but the Lakers just didn't see it, just defending the three-pointers.
Klay Thompson immediately hoisted a drop ball into Curry's hand, and Curry rushed straight into the three-second zone!
At this time, there was no one under the basket! Randle and Jason Thompson were blocking for their teammates, Antetokounmpo and Green were both pulled out to defend only three-pointers, and Curry just got the ball in the three-second zone just like that!
Layups? Not safe enough, Curry immediately accelerated and flew up...... Violent buckle ......
The fans at the scene began to sigh the moment they saw Curry cut in and receive the ball, and they could only bet on three points for a while, and they were ready to watch the team bet on three points for a while.
Fortunately, Kobe, who has been the key man for more than ten years, feels very good, and they are still confident, so they are ready to boo Curry.
However, half a second after Curry flew up, the scene was instantly silent, and then an overwhelming burst of laughter!
Curry's dunk is covered by the basket! The take-off height is not enough! dunked at the front of the basket, and Curry himself was also knocked to the ground by the basket "cap"!
The fans at the scene burst into laughter after being stunned, the Warriors players were also stunned, and the Lakers players were stunned. He's a basketball player of more than 1.9 meters!
The ball bounced straight out of bounds.
14 seconds left!
D'Antoni called a timeout with a stifled smile.
The Warriors players all surrounded Curry who was lying on the ground, and Walton quickly called the team doctor, but nothing happened.
In fact, Curry has nothing to do at all, mainly because he is too embarrassed and has no face to see people!
The happiest is O'Neill, who has collected several issues of five embarrassing materials in one game.
It's still 122 to 123, but now the ball is on the Lakers' side!
D'Antoni is arranging here, there is no doubt that the ball is for Kobe, not to mention Kobe's key Mr. attributes, just his 10-of-12 three-pointers must be given to him today, and his hand today is the best among Lakers players.
Wharton's defensive arrangement is also aimed at Kobe, and his playing career has basically been played by Kobe's side, knowing how powerful Kobe Bryant is at critical moments.
However, Kobe Bryant didn't seem to listen to the tactics, but pulled Liu Ren to whisper......
After the timeout, the Warriors were ready to lock up the Lakers for half court, but unexpectedly the Lakers chose to serve in the backcourt.
However, this also has a little benefit, although the time is consumed for seven seconds, the serve is not interfered with, and you can directly launch the offense after arriving in the frontcourt, without deliberately consuming time and avoiding being tackled by the Warriors' pressing defense.
Clarkson advanced to the front court and immediately gave the ball to Kobe, and as soon as Kobe took the ball, the decisive opponent two pounced on it.
At this time, Kobe Bryant began to show his real skills, the dribble was really good, and the center of gravity of the dribble was extremely low at almost two meters, and he didn't give a chance to steal at all.
The time passed second by second, and there were more than three seconds left, Kobe Bryant forced a step to squeeze Curry and Klay Thompson outside the three-point line, and Randle, who had already been prepared inside, pounced instantly......
But!
Bryant didn't shoot or even jump, but threw the ball from the bottom up under Randle's pounced armpit.
What's the way to play?
Everyone was shocked, this is a newly developed shooting move?
The ball flew towards the basket and deflected very wide.
Just when the Warriors players were happy and the fans felt that their internal breath was about to collapse, a No. 1 wearing a white base and gold trimmed jersey flew to the basket and pressed the ball into the basket before the basket's red light came on!
The ball falls from the basket and the final whistle blows!
