Chapter 1160 [Intense duel, enter the tiebreaker]
Redick scored a three-pointer at the last moment, and the final score was 137 to 127, and the difference was not big.
The game is very intense, and every goal is fought for, and the Warriors have a chance to win. But every time they play a smooth attack, Guo Xu will fight back. Almost all the Lakers' scores are related to Guo Xu.
He almost played the whole game, scoring 70 points, 2 rebounds, 20 assists and 2 steals, and his shooting percentage exceeded 60%. This is a new record in playoff history. Chamberlain has scored 70+20, but that is 20+ rebounds, which is much easier than Guo Xu.
The core of both sides will inevitably be pulled out for comparison, and Curry was beaten a little ugly.
He finally scored 26 points and 6 assists, made 0 of 3 shots in the last quarter and did not score a single point. Those who were defended had few chances to use their phones. "Brother Killing Fen" had no chance to kill his brother today, and Seth Curry did not appear.
Online fans discuss the game, and more people are optimistic about the Lakers' promotion, because Guo Xu's data will greatly improve the team's morale. On the contrary, Warriors players will definitely be hit hard.
They couldn't even defend Guo Xu alone, so how could they win this series? In this game, everyone from inside and outside tried to defend Guo Xu, but they all failed.
At the press conference, Guo Xu said: "I didn't deliberately try to swipe data today. I just wanted to help the team win. I just shot the ball that I should shoot, attracted double team members, and I also passed the ball that can assist my teammates."
What he said was very simple, but the reporters applauded hard. Only Guo Xu could play this kind of data in the entire basketball history. Before Guo Xu entered the league, other guards could make headlines by playing 30+20. Everyone has been accustomed to playing 30+20. He has three times this season, including two in the playoffs.
Guo Xu also commented on his teammates. In addition to him, Horford and Tucker also scored in double digits, scoring 13 points and 16 points respectively. Tucker scored four three-pointers, all of which were three-pointers in the bottom corner.
Tayron Lu was confident when evaluating the game. He said: "I think the Lakers will definitely advance and win the championship. The reason is very simple. We have Jason. The Warriors' stars are very good, but they still have a clear gap with Jason."
The reporter asked: "Someone previously questioned that you won the Best Coach Award, thinking that when you encounter difficulties, adjusting your tactics will only hand over the ball to Jason. His ball ownership percentage has increased again in this round of the series. What do you think?"
"I think there are stars like Jason in the team. If a coach doesn't let him play casually, this person shouldn't stay in the NBA because he has a problem 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 in the overall data?"
The reporters also gave Taylon Lu an applause. It is so unpleasant that he can show that he is a coach who relies on stars. This person is so real.
The only good news for the Warriors is that Curry is stronger. He has not been suspected of his life as a result of Guo Xu's abuse. He said that he will work hard to help the Warriors win and strive to play better.
The second game continued to be played at the Warriors' home court. The Warriors players knew their shame and then braved, and made a beautiful overall offense. They won a game 110 to 97, with a total score of 1 to 1.
If you lose another home game, the Warriors will definitely have to go home to fish. They must fight to the death and fight with the Lakers as soon as they come.
Lopez and Nowitzki are together, Middleton is responsible for the ball attack and organization, and the double towers give Curry and Redick no-ball cover to help them create a chance to catch the ball and get out of the phone.
After Lopez covered the screen, he went to the bottom corner to attract the defense and waited for the opportunity to catch the ball. If Curry couldn't get rid of Guo Xu, he could pass the ball to Nowitzki, allowing him to play singles at mid-range.
Curry is focused on playing without the ball, and Guo Xu will feel uncomfortable. He can't quickly and perfectly bypass the screen every time and complete his close fit against Curry. Curry also cheated in this game, making 8 of 14 three-pointers, only shot 5 of the two-pointers in total, scoring two goals, 2 of 2 free throws, scoring 30 points and 5 assists.
His five assists were all given to his inside teammates, assisting Lopez to shoot two three-pointers, and the other three were to catch Nowitzki.
Horford's single defense against Nowitzki is not bad, which can reduce the veteran driver's hit rate, but when he faces Nowitzki, Lopez is not easy to defend against.
Tucker is too short to play the No. 4 position and cannot defend against Lopez's strong play at low post. The Lakers send Nurkic, and Lopez will pull out to cover the ball and shoot again to help the defender teammates create a breakthrough opportunity.
The Lakers cannot solve the weakness of the center for the time being, and Nurkic cannot be ignored. Tyrone Lu gave him 25 minutes to perform, responsible for covering Guo Xu and playing a triangle offense.
Nurkic's data in this game was not bad, scoring a double-double of 16 points and 10 rebounds. He provided an unball cover for Guo Xu at the bottom line, and the blocking guard was quite effective, and the screening effect was better than that of Horford, who was thin.
Guo Xu scored 45 points and 11 assists in the whole game, but the Warriors still couldn't defend themselves.
In the third game, the Lakers returned to home court, defeated the Warriors by 30 points 120-90, and led by 2-1 in the total score.
The Warriors players had a collective feeling this time, and their shooting percentage was not high, and none of them scored 20+ points.
Curry made 5 of 13 shots, 3 of 9 three-pointers, 4 of 4 free throws, and only scored 17 points and 6 assists. He also had the highest 6 mistakes in the game, three of which were intercepted by Guo Xu and directly counterattacked.
Nowitzki's performance was the only normal one, making 7 of 11 shots, 2 of 5 three-pointers, 2 of 3 free throws, and scored 18 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists.
Middleton was defended by Robertson in this game. He beat Carter in the second game, and Booker was very excited and scored 27 points. The Lakers took special care of him as soon as they came out, and Robertson showed his strengths and was solemn-style defense.
Middleton made only 4 of 13 shots, 1 of 5 three-pointers and 1 of 2 free throws, scoring 10 points.
Guo Xu was still the strongest performer in the game. He only played 36 minutes, scored 42 points, 3 rebounds, 7 assists and 5 steals, and got off work half a quarter ahead of schedule.
In the fourth game, Curry started cheating again, making 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 away, tied the total score 2-2.
Lopez made 7 of 11 shots, 4 of 9 three-pointers, 7 of 7 free throws, scoring 25 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists. He made a quasi-killing shot from the low post in the last 4.7 seconds.
Players who can shoot are more reliable than those who are empty at critical moments. Green is another undercover agent in this game. He played for 30 minutes, made 2 of 9 shots, 0 of 4 three-pointers, 2 of 4 free throws, scored 6 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 blocks.
The winning Libra leaned towards the Warriors again, and the key "Fight of Kings Mountain" was held at the Warriors' home court.
Redick, who has been sleepwalking, performed well in this game, played 10 of 17 shots in 32 minutes, made 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, made 1 of 8 shots, 0 of 5 three-pointers, and scored 2 points and 2 rebounds. His mentality was wrong in the important game. He was burdened with the mentality of wanting to win and afraid of losing, and he couldn't even make an open spot.
Guo Xu scored 54 points, 4 rebounds and 8 assists, but his teammates did not provide enough support this time. Only he and Horford scored in double digits in the game, losing 93 to 104.
It is not that easy for the Warriors to eliminate the Lakers. As long as the Lakers are properly tactical and capable of winning.
In the sixth game, the Lakers, who returned to their home court, defeated the Warriors 115-101, and the total score was 3-3, entering the tiebreak battle.
The referee did not favor the Lakers. The Lakers ran and shot crazy under the leadership of Guo Xu. The players' shooting percentages were very high, with an overall shooting percentage of 51.9%, and the Warriors' overall shooting percentage was only 40.2%.
