Chapter 707 The first battle!
Chapter 707 The Fourth Battle!
This is the third game in the series between the Lakers and the Warriors!
It is also the most crucial battle!
After this battle, the situation should become clear, or in other words, at that time, it will be possible to see what the direction of this round of the series is, and who will have the upper hand in this round of the series.
If the Lakers continue to win the Warriors, then the Lakers with a 3-0 record are only one step away from entering the finals.
And if the Warriors win, they have found a way to turn around in desperation.
Still a great way!
Because the next game is still at the home court of the Warriors, and they are at home for two consecutive games. As long as this game is overturned, the next game is likely to be overturned, and it will be a 2-2 tie. Then the Warriors have nothing to fear. Everyone is on the same starting line.
I'm afraid that if the Lakers win, it will be troublesome.
This game has reached this point, there is nothing to say.
The two sides are still the previous starters.
Again, there is actually no big problem with the players playing.
What could be the problem, they all played well and organized.
There is nothing wrong with the tactics, and all the methods I can think of are used.
It depends on the performance on the spot and their respective states.
The game is on!
The difference from the previous two games is that in this game, the Warriors played particularly proactively, perhaps because they were at their own home court.
Curry and Clay, the strongest perimeter combination in the league, also swept away the decline of the first two games, especially Clay, who is obviously the top 3D player in the league, but ended up fighting in the first two games, scoring "3" It's gone, only the "D" is left.
Only the "D" Clay is left, obviously not a complete Clay.
His defense is good, but for him, the key is offense!
Offense is Klay's sharpest weapon.
After the first quarter, the Warriors entered the second quarter 34-26, leading the Lakers by 8 points.
In the second quarter, the Warriors' bench lineup was also strong. Not only did they not expand the point difference, but at the end of the first half, they widened the point difference to 10 points!
double digits! ! !
During the intermission, Cole couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
That's right, that's right, what did you fight before?
Cole watched this game, and when he thought of the previous two games, a feeling of disgust suddenly appeared in his heart.
What kind of shit was that playing in front?
Is this what our Warriors team looks like, is this our Warriors team with an all-five-star luxury lineup, what was it before?
What's all this mess?
Cole simply disliked it.
The first two games played were completely different from what he had imagined!
And now this is exactly what he imagined.
Kerr actually didn’t underestimate the Lakers, nor did he despise Xu Xuan. On the contrary, he regarded both the Lakers and Xu Xuan very seriously. He also knew that if the Warriors want to advance to the finals, they must first consider Xu Xuan. Xuan and the Lakers solved it, so he thought carefully many times before the series, hoping to think of a way to break the game.
But the tactical play he thought of didn't work out in the first two games, or the effect was mediocre.
But this time, the same tactics were played, but a very unusual effect was achieved.
Is it really the reason for the home court?
Cole doubted in his heart.
The Warriors fans at the scene couldn't help crying when they saw this situation.
Finally saw the sun.
God knows how they got here in the past, it's hard!
It's just beyond words!
Such a lineup has been played with a 0-2 record, and they are still playing a snake? !
They are angry.
I can't wait to play for the Warriors by myself.
Hate that iron is not steel!
I really hate iron but not steel!
Disappointment all comes from hope!
How much hope there will be how much disappointment!
This is what happens in reality.
the more you hope, the harder you fall!
So, they are anxious.
will hate.
But now, watching this half of the game, they finally felt comfortable.
That's right, this is what it looks like to be a championship. In the previous two games, it didn't look like a championship at all, and it didn't look like a championship at all.
Now is what he wants to see.
The inter-section interview was given to Cole.
Cole also accepted a rare inter-section interview.
The main reason is that the previous two games were not in the mood at all. What kind of inter-season interviews, whoever loves to go, anyway, he won't go.
Do you still think the blow is not big enough? !
Still want to see how he makes a fool of himself, right?
Cole pushed all the inter-section interviews of the previous two games.
But this time there was no rejection.
How should I put it, I lost so badly before, and I was directly awarded 2-0 by others. Now I finally see some advantage, so I can come out to stabilize the morale of the army no matter what.
Military spirit is also very important.
Reporter: "Excuse me, Coach Steve, what do you think of this game?"
"Of course I look with my eyes. Could it be the butt?" Cole complained in his heart.
However, he said in a more easy-going way: "I think we only need to play our own things well, and the head-on of this game will be very big."
"Is Coach Kerr very confident in his team? It seems that he was beaten 2-0 before."
"Being 2-0 before does not mean that we will continue to lose. This puts a lot of pressure on us, but at the same time, there is also a lot of motivation. With both pressure and motivation, we can keep moving forward."
"How do you think your opponent is playing this game?"
"I didn't pay too much attention to them, I was all focused on my players, I think they played well, my players told me that they were targeted on the court, I think that's what they did. layout."
"Mr. Coach, what if we lose this game?"
"Uh, I don't think we can lose."
Hearing this boosts morale.
To be fair, the reporter asked very sharp questions, and Frank probably wouldn't have answered those questions if they had been given them.
But Cole still answered, and the answer was very stiff.
The main reason is that the team is at a disadvantage now, and if they don't give some morale encouragement, they really want to lose all the way to the end.
Morale matters!
Morale is very important!
Without morale, it's just a dream for you to win, even if you lead, you will be turned back.
So what Cole said was very rampant, and he said everything that would win.
Here on TNT, Kenny Smith couldn't help laughing when he heard Cole's interview during the festival: "Is Steve forced to do nothing? He's starting to speak harshly. I really want to know, this If the ruthless words can't be realized, how wonderful his expression should be."
At that time, it was definitely as exciting as it was.
Obviously, they could see that Cole was talking harsh words, saying harsh words in order to boost morale.
Not honest, really not honest enough.
Kenny Smith is worried that Cole will not be able to achieve it now, and that would be fun.
But in fact, Kenny Smith thought too much, and Cole still had some confidence.
Sure enough, after the second half came up, the Warriors still maintained the suppressing rhythm of the first half, and finally defeated the Lakers by 8 points and won.
Now Cole and the Warriors fans off the field can really breathe a sigh of relief.
I was thinking before, if this game is lost, what should the Warriors do? This game, they played back directly.
The big score is 2 to 1. Although they are still behind, everyone in the Warriors has seen hope.
Post-match interview.
For the Warriors, Cole, Curry, and Clay were present, but Durant did not come.
As soon as the three of them entered, the flashing lights in front of them clicked.
"Congratulations to the three, congratulations to the Warriors, you have won the victory, guys, what do you want to say now?" A big wave lady with a Jinzhou local reporter card asked first.
Cole chuckled and said nothing, and Clay didn't speak, and the two looked at Curry at the same time.
Curry grinned and said: "To be honest, I am very happy now. We won this game very hard. For us, this is a difficult game, but also a game worth celebrating. But we will not be proud, because now we are still behind, we are still the disadvantaged side, we will only be more serious and work harder to prepare for the next game, and that is the most important thing for us.”
Obviously, the Warriors are not going to win only this game, they want to win the next game!
Who doesn't want to win, especially now that they have come back, they want to win even more.
Now the Warriors have great hopes for a comeback, well, they think so.
Now is the starting stage, when the morale is like a rainbow, it is natural to feel that they will win the game.
"So, Stephen, can I ask, what is the most difficult thing for you?"
"Of course it is how to limit Xu. This is the most difficult point for all teams to face the Lakers, and it is also an unbreakable point." Curry nodded and said: "Although he is an opponent, I still want to say that Xu Xuan's performance is amazing. Well, as his good friend, I actually thought it was Xu Xuan's limit before. What I didn't expect was that we were caught off guard when he came up. If it wasn't for the 72 points in that game, I don't think we would have been forced into this."
Indeed, if Xu Xuan didn't score 72 points in the first game, the Warriors would have a hard time losing in the second game. After all, the strength is there, and it is not a lie that they are so much better than the Lakers.
It was because Xu Xuan directly scored 72 points in the first game, coupled with the 100% shooting rate, that caused the Warriors to be very psychologically burdened in the second game. Obviously, it was just a little point difference and they just caught up to the end. This is the reason where.
However, after losing two games in a row, returning to their home court, the Warriors played very well here. After falling behind 0 to 2, they were able to recover a game. Of course, they are very happy now.
"So, my question is for Klay Thompson. I want to know, Klay, what are your thoughts on defending Xu Xuan in the three games? Or experience?"
"Experience?" Clay asked back, and then laughed and said: "Sorry, I don't have any experience, I just think I should be quite tired, or you should be able to see that I am quite tired, right?"
Clay joked.
Everyone else laughed.
Why is Clay so tired?
He is the main player for the Warriors to defend Xu Xuan. In all three games, he played against Xu Xuan on the defensive end. I really thought it was that easy, but it was not that simple.
Even Cole laughed.
He also felt that he seemed quite inhumane, and he insisted on playing Clay, the top "3D player" in the league, as Beverly, which would be too sad.
"Coach Cole, what do you think the Warriors should do to win the game?"
"This has not been considered yet, but we will refer to this game to improve, hoping to do better."
The Lakers are also being interviewed here.
Instead of being in the news hall, he was surrounded by a group of reporters in the locker room.
"Mr. Frank, may I ask if losing this game will have any impact on your next plan?"
"There must be an impact, but I don't know whether it is good or bad. In fact, from the beginning, we were not prepared to defeat each other completely. After all, it was too difficult, so what we thought was how to win as quickly as possible. , that's what we thought."
"Then being chased back by the opponent now, will it mean that the Lakers will fall into decline?"
"I don't think that's the case. The opponent just won a game, and we still have an absolute advantage by a big score. Therefore, I don't think this will affect us. We will only work harder in the next game. . That's what I'm trying to say."
Are you afraid of Frank?
Of course afraid!
Frank must be scared!
As soon as the Warriors won, his heart was naturally shaken.
That family is a strong team after all, better than them.
But you have to admit, that's not okay.
Frank wouldn't admit it, wouldn't he be shy if he admitted it?
At this time, I can only be stubborn!
Moreover, there is Xu Xuan.
Xu Xuan is still here, what are you afraid of?
At the same time, the third game between the Cavaliers and the Celtics in the East.
The Cavaliers won another victory cleanly, and now they lead the Celtics 3-0.
The Cavaliers have already got the match point, and they will win another game.
It seems that the Cavaliers have already entered the finals stage with one foot.
As for the Celtics here, there is nothing to say. They were given 3-0 by others, and they felt very depressed.
But the young marshal can only sigh in his heart, no matter how good the tactics are, they are not as good as other stars. They are the Big Three who beat you little Thomas. No matter what you can do, you can't fight back.
Now the young marshal can only hope that he can win a game, and don't get swept away and shave his head, that would be ugly.
At the same time, the young marshal's heart is also infinitely regretful. At the beginning, there was really a very good opportunity to get Xu Xuan, and to have Xu Xuan. In the end, the Celtics missed all of them, and they could only watch Xu Xuan lead the other teams. The team is moving towards the championship step by step, and towards victory step by step.
This is the young marshal's greatest regret.
After the defeat of the Boston Celtics, the fourth game of the series between the Lakers and the Warriors also began a day later.
This game is also very critical, and it is still at the Oracle Center, the home of the Warriors.
