Chapter 667: Why didn’t you throw me down?

The lineup at the beginning of the second quarter gave the Warriors a taste of the sweetness. After the beginning of the fourth quarter, Nelson still fielded such a lineup, but this lineup did not work at this time because the Lakers changed their formation.

In the second quarter, Phil Jackson asked Gasol to play as the core of the team, but after the start of the fourth quarter, he put Gasol off the court to rest and sent... Kobe!

Because Kobe was on the court, the Lakers did not send Fisher at the point guard position, but sent the younger Shannon Brown. As a result, the advantage of the Warriors' lineup was no longer there, and Evans faced off against

Neither Kobe Bryant nor Collison have much advantage over main player Shannon Brown.

Fortunately, although there are not many advantages in the lineup, there are also not many disadvantages. Kobe's defensive task has always been taken by Evans. Although Evans does not have the strength of Yang Shuai on the defensive end, he can also provide a good defense for the team.

Kobe Bryant was in trouble. And because Gasol was off the court at this time, Phil Jackson had to send veteran Joe Smith at the center position, which also gave Chandler more energy to assist Evans.

Defending Kobe.

There are not many advantages on offense, and there is not much disadvantage on the defensive end. This once again caused the Warriors to reach a stalemate with the Lakers. When Yang Shuai came on the court again, the score was 87:81, a 6-point difference.

.

"Xi Yun, Xiao Yang's team is now 6 points behind. Can they still win?" Seeing Yang Shuai come back on the court, Li Ru asked with some concern. She never paid attention to basketball games, although

He said he knew his daughter had a relationship with a basketball player and got to know him better, but she was not a fan after all.

"Don't worry, Mom, Yang Shuai is very good. He can lead the team back with 16 points, not to mention 6 points." Chu Xiyun comforted her mother with a smile.

After saying that, Chu Xiyun set her sights on Yang Shuai, and then said silently in her heart: "Big bad guy, you have to work harder. If you don't perform well and let mom see the Warriors lose, I will...

...You will be punished by not being able to go to bed for a month."

"Is someone talking about me?" Yang Shuai, who was walking onto the stage, suddenly felt an urge to sneeze and rubbed his sore nose. He quickly put it behind him, although he did not hear Chu Xiyun's words.

However, he desires to win more than anyone else, and it is not just to perform well in front of Chu Xiyun's parents. Yang Shuai is extremely eager to win, without any reason.

"Yang comes on the field and has the ball in his hands. If nothing else happens, the Warriors will launch a counterattack..."

"Warriors! Warriors!" When Yang Shuai took the ball in his hands, the shouts on the scene became louder. At this time, Yang Shuai moved.

After shaking to the left, he suddenly pulled the ball back and rushed to the right. Yang Shuai suddenly took a step forward to the right. Before Artest even had time to make too many defensive moves, Yang Shuai had already quickly moved toward the right.

Turning to the right, he completely opened the distance between him and Artest.

As he rushed forward, his calf muscles tightened instantly, and his feet hit the floor heavily. Yang Shuai rushed toward the basket like an arrow from a string.

Gasol and Odom retreated to the inside to cover the defense at the same time. Yang Shuai did not pass the ball to his teammates at this time. The Warriors needed to score now, so he did his duty. After rushing to the free throw line, he picked up the ball and strode forward.

Then he rose into the air and Yang Shuai flew towards the basket.

In front of Yang Shuai, Gasol and Odom, who had just arrived, jumped up at the same time, forming a wall in the air to block Yang Shuai.

There is no airtight wall in the world. Although Yang Shuai's is not the wind, his attacks are more penetrating than the wind. Gasol and Odom jumped at the same time, but they were two people after all, and there was a loophole in the encirclement.

Holding the ball in his chest, Yang Shuai curled up his body into a ball and quickly moved between Gasol and Odom.

Gasol and Odom saw Yang Shuai's movements in the air, but they were unable to stop him. Yang Shuai's speed was too fast. By the time they reacted, Yang Shuai had already passed between the two of them, trying to make a move in the air.

Adjustment is not easy for them.

Passing through the two defenses, Yang Shuai's curled up body suddenly opened up, he grabbed the ball with his right hand and pulled it up. With his fingers, the ball flew towards the backboard with a spin.

"Bang!" The basketball bounced off the backboard and fell into the basket. Hit!

"Yang... handsome!!" At the scene, the DJ's shouts resounded throughout the stadium when Yang Shuai completed the goal, and the fans burst into long-awaited cheers.

"Well done, Yang broke through the defense of three people and scored. It's hard to imagine that those difficult goals are like a common occurrence for Yang!"

Gasol has returned to the court, but the ball from the Lakers is still in the hands of Kobe. After receiving the ball, he rushes forward quickly. Kobe breaks through with the ball and rushes to the basket. During the forward rush, he suddenly stops and then starts again.

The rhythm change made Evans unable to react in time. When he saw Kobe was about to rush into the paint, Evans grabbed Kobe directly with his hands.

Kobe threw the ball after being pulled. Although he failed to throw the ball into the basket, he had two free throw opportunities.

Evans' approach is undoubtedly wise. At this time, Chandler has four fouls. If Kobe is allowed to get to the basket and cause a foul, it will have a great impact on the Warriors. However, Evans, who has only one foul, obviously does not need to.

Consider the issue of multiple fouls.

Kobe made two free throws and the point difference returned to 6 points.

Evans was obviously stimulated by Kobe. After entering halftime, he immediately asked Hinrich for the ball, and then suddenly dribbled forward.

At the last moment, he focused more on the offensive end. Kobe was obviously not so focused on the defensive end. After Evans suddenly started to find a breakthrough space, he naturally no longer hesitated and accelerated toward the basket.

The Lakers' defense quickly shrank, and Evans chose to pass the ball at this time. The ball flew out of the penalty area and fell into the hands of Yang Shuai outside the three-point line at the top of the arc.

Taking the pass from Evans with his left hand, Yang Shuai went around behind him and the ball flew out of his hand and went straight to the right corner.

"Yang passed the ball behind the back, Kirk opportunity, three-pointer... the ball went in! Beautiful pass!" Barkley shouted excitedly, and the Oracle Arena also burst into exclamation because of Yang Shuai's pass.

with cheers.

"Warriors! Warriors!" The shouts of Warriors fans are getting louder and louder. The deafening shouts may not necessarily affect the Lakers players, but they make every Warriors player feel inspired.

In the Lakers' offense, Kobe held the ball outside the three-point line and tried to break through. However, this time Evans' defense was very good. Seeing that he could not find a suitable opportunity with the ball, Kobe also handed the ball over to the Lakers at this time.

Gasol responded.

After failing to pass the ball, Kobe took a step back and returned to the three-point line. Just when Evans involuntarily looked at Gasol, Kobe suddenly started to rush towards the basket.

"Oops!" Evans reacted and quickly followed Kobe to the inside, but at this time, Kobe had already blocked his blocking position and went straight to the penalty area.

Gasol saw Kobe's cut and immediately passed the ball to the running Kobe. Chandler didn't care about leaving Gasol free at this time and quickly retreated to the basket to help defend.

Dribbling forward two steps, he was about to enter the three-second zone, but the ball in Kobe's hand had already been thrown away and flew towards Gasol, who was now free. Gasol caught the ball half a step inside the free throw line, and Gasol

Er did not choose to take a shot, but pushed the ball to the three-point line on the right.

When Kobe Bryant rushed to the basket, Yang Shuai also chose to retreat to the basket, which freed up Artest outside the three-point line. Gasol's passing awareness was indeed very good, and he was keenly aware of it.

Knowing this, he quickly pushed the ball over.

Seeing Gasol pass the ball to Artest, Yang Shuai, who was returning to defense, also accelerated his speed. His super speed completely broke out, and he rushed towards Artest quickly.

The basketball flew up, and Yang Shuai also arrived at this time. Artest reached out to catch the ball, but at this time, Yang Shuai's hand had already reached out like lightning and touched the basketball.

The high-speed flying basketball was affected by an external force and immediately deviated from its direction and flew out of the baseline on the right side. The forward speed did not slow down, and Yang Shuai rushed past Artest like a gust of wind, flying out of the baseline with the basketball.

Catching the ball with his left hand, Yang Shuai's body suddenly paused in the air, and then threw it into the hands of Evans, who had already stepped forward to receive the ball.

"Yang recovered the ball and successfully stole the ball. Well done, man! Yang is on the fast break and the Warriors have a chance to narrow the point difference!"

"Yang! Yang! Yang!" All the Warriors fans stood up at this time, and uniform cheers sounded in the arena!

After landing, Yang Shuai didn't pause at all. He was already running towards the other half. At the same time, the ball in Evans's hand was also passed quickly.

He quickly ran to the basket with the ball. Yang Shuai's super speed kept the distance between him and Artest getting closer. Approaching the three-point line, Yang Shuai's speed still didn't slow down at all. He was like a cheetah.

Rushing towards the basket, the rhythmic shouting made him feel like every cell in his body was jumping.

Moving backwards quickly, Artest couldn't find any chance to stop Yang Shuai. All he could do was retreat and retreat again and again until there was no way to retreat.

Artest's steps have already entered the three-second zone, and at this time, Yang Shuai has also picked up the ball.

"We can't let this guy complete the attack!" This thought flashed through his mind. Artest made a quick decision and advanced instead of retreating. He stretched out his iron arm and grabbed Yang Shuai's arm.

Yang Shuai, who was about to take off, followed his inertia and jumped up, but was pulled by Artest. After taking off, he quickly fell towards the floor, and his body involuntarily followed Artest's pulling force.

Turn it around.

With his back to the basket, Yang Shuai used his uncaught left hand to throw the ball behind his head based on his feeling.

"Beep!" the referee's whistle sounded, and the scene was quiet for a moment. The basketball thrown by Yang Shuai hit the neck of the basket, and then bumped back and forth on the basket...

"Coax!" cheers suddenly broke out at this moment, and the basketball bounced on the basket for a full two seconds, and then rolled down into the basket!

"The ball is in! The ball is in! 2+1! After Yang stole the ball during the fast break, Ron grabbed him and turned his back to the basket and scored the ball. A magical goal! 2+1! The Warriors will tie the score!"

"Roar!" Yang Shuai, who completed the goal, couldn't help but yelled at Artest. No matter what the foul was, it still couldn't stop my goal!

"Damn it!" Artest looked extremely annoyed as he saw Yang Shuai yelling. He regretted why he didn't just throw Yang Shuai to the ground.

"mvp! mvp!" The entire arena was shouting and screaming. In the cheers, Yang Shuai's free throw was firmly hit. 89:89, the Warriors tied the score!
