Chapter 668 Eliminating the Lakers

The Warriors tied the score and the Lakers made an emergency timeout. At this moment, the Lakers did not dare to be careless.

The game reached a deadlock again after the Warriors tied it. Both the Warriors and the Lakers tried their best, both on the offensive and defensive ends. Both teams were fighting hard.

The rhythm of the game dropped at this time. The efforts of the two teams on the defensive end made both sides spend more energy on offense, and the score increased more slowly.

The rhythm dropped, but the Warriors did not fall into a disadvantage on the court. Yang Shuai connected the Warriors' offense very well. Although the shooting rate was not too high, at least it was not inferior to the Lakers.

97:96, there are only 2 minutes left in the game, and the score difference between the two teams is 1 point. The Warriors are 1 point behind, but they have the ball.

Hinrich quickly advanced the ball to half court, and then kept the pace down. Near the end of the game, the Lakers were highly focused on the defensive end, and no Warriors player had a great opportunity.

Hinrich's first choice for passing the ball was still Yang Shuai, but at this time Yang Shuai was blocked by Artest, and Hinrich could not pass the ball.

With a horizontal push, Hinrich sent the ball to Evans. This is a common play method of the Warriors this season. Once Yang Shuai is stuck by the opponent and has no good chance to catch the ball, Hinrich will hand over the ball.

Put it in the hands of Evans. Once Evans breaks through and tears apart the opponent's defense, the ball will more easily reach Yang Shuai's hands.

Evans received the ball, Jamison quickly picked and rolled, and Evans immediately dribbled the ball towards the basket. Evans wanted to break through the Lakers' defense to create an opportunity for Yang Shuai, but when he took two steps, he failed

Suddenly, Jamison found himself free outside the three-point line.

Odom and Odom chose to pursue the defense at the same time, leaving Jamison unguarded.

Without hesitation, Evans quickly threw the ball behind him. Outside the three-point line at the top of the arc, Jamison took the ball and quickly faced Odom's defense.

"Bang!" Jamison's shot hit the left side of the front edge of the basket, and then bounced high.

Chandler was stuck under the basket, but Gasol failed to get the rebound. However, the rebound was too high. Not only Gasol, but also Chandler could not get the ball directly.

Turning around quickly, Chandler ran towards the ball's landing point, but at this moment he found a figure who was one step faster than him, Yang Shuai!

Yang Shuai's average rebounds in double figures this season is not simply because of his physical fitness. His rebounding ability has reached a special level, which makes him extremely capable of judging the placement of rebounds. The ball bounces towards the outside and happens to be where he is.

Yang Shuai will naturally not let go of the direction.

Artest also noticed that the ball was bouncing towards this side, and just when he turned around to grab the rebound, Yang Shuai, who had no physical contact to interfere, had already rushed out from behind him, and then jumped up to collect the rebound.

In arms.

After grabbing the rebound, Yang Shuai followed his inertia and landed forward. As soon as his feet touched the floor, his legs exerted force and he had already jumped forward, heading towards the basket.

Gasol opened his hands and stood in front of Yang Shuai in an attempt to block him. Yang Shuai, who was rushing forward, did not change his speed. When he was less than half a step away from the opponent, his body suddenly turned and he had already ducked to Gasol's side.

Yang Shuai's speed is too fast, whether it is the speed of forward movement or the speed of turning around, it makes Gasol look like a telegraph pole without any defensive actions.

After completing his turn, he picked up the ball and strode forward. Yang Shuai came under the basket and jumped up at this time.

"Bang!" Holding the ball with one hand and pressing hard, Yang Shuai dunked the ball into the basket. 97:98, the Warriors went ahead by 1 point.

When the Lakers launched their attack, they handed the ball directly to Kobe, who was blocked in the mid-range position. However, Kobe failed to find a suitable offensive opportunity. He was double-teamed and was forced to pass the ball to Gasol.

Gasol also failed to find a chance to take a shot. Chandler's quick return allowed the Spaniard to pass the ball back to the three-point line. The Warriors' defensive rotation in this round was very beautiful, and the Lakers continued to guide the ball.

However, he failed to find a good offensive opportunity. It was not until 24 seconds were running out that Kobe chose to force a shot from outside the three-point line, but the ball failed to hit.

The Lakers' offense failed, and the Warriors' offense was also blocked by the opponent. Yang Shuai forced his way to the basket, but his shot was affected by the defense of Gasol and Odom, and the ball spun around the basket.

After falling out of the circle, Odom grabbed a backcourt rebound.

The Lakers launched another attack. This time Kobe took the initiative to take the ball at the three-point line, and Gasol also quickly put up a pick-and-roll.

Rushing to the right, Kobe dribbled the ball and started rushing to the right. Chandler jumped out from behind Gasol to defend. Evans also quickly squeezed past Gasol at this time.

Taking a step forward and entering the three-point line, Kobe suddenly took a step to the left. When Chandler stepped back, Kobe had already stopped and jumped. Chandler was busy jumping in front of him to interfere.

At this time, Evans was already behind and unable to form a defense.

"Whoa!" Chandler's defense did not affect Kobe, and he made a mid-range jumper. Kobe steadily hit two points to rewrite the score to 99:98, and the Lakers took the lead again.

The Warriors did not pause. Jamison under the basket quickly sent the ball directly to Yang Shuai near the three-point line. After receiving the ball, Yang Shuai dribbled straight to the front court.

"Back off! Back off!" Phil Jackson shouted on the sidelines. Artest obviously did not expect that Jamison would directly hand the ball to Yang Shuai, and he could no longer keep up.

Kobe also quickly abandoned Evans and stepped forward to block Yang Shuai. Gasol and Fisher also quickly retreated to the half court. Seeing that they attracted Kobe's defense, the ball in Yang Shuai's hand immediately flew quickly.

It was handed into the hands of Evans, who quickly dribbled the ball towards the basket.

"Porphy!" When Evans was about to rush into the three-point line, Gasol decisively hit Evans. After Evans' forward rush was blocked, he immediately handed the ball to Chandler inside.

At this time, Fisher, who was supposed to be guarding Hinrich, came inside and blocked Chandler.

If he was in a normal hurry, Chandler wouldn't mind having a big fight, but at this time he didn't want to take credit and passed the ball back to Hinrich outside the three-point line, which only delayed Odo.

Tom and Artest have also retreated to their positions.

"Phew!" Seeing that the Warriors did not make a fast break, Phil Jackson secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The ball returned to Yang Shuai's hands, and the person blocking him was no longer Artest, but Kobe Bryant.

"Kobe defended Yang. At the most critical moment of the game, the leaders of the two teams went head-to-head!" Barkley shouted excitedly. If Yang Shuai scored the ball over Kobe's head to complete the go-ahead, the crowd would be excited.

turn.

"Yang! Yang! Yang!" This is exactly what happened. Although Yang Shuai has not started attacking yet, all the Warriors fans at the scene stood up, and their uniform shouts made people's blood boil.

"Kobe, today's victory can only belong to me!" Dribbling the ball slowly, Yang Shuai looked directly at Kobe and said word by word in his heart.

Shaking to the left, Yang Shuai suddenly started to rush to the right. When Kobe just moved his steps, Yang Shuai had already dribbled the ball under his crotch and passed it to his left hand, and at the same time, his body suddenly jumped out to the left.

"Porphy!" Kobe's reaction was not slow. The next moment Yang Shuai completed the change of direction, he also moved quickly to this side, almost not lagging behind. Of course, it was only almost. When Kobe moved

When he stepped forward, Yang Shuai had already started to rush forward. Kobe moved his steps to get close to him, but Yang Shuai's super strength directly pushed him away.

Realizing that Kobe Bryant failed to stop Yang Shuai's forward charge, Odom immediately rushed forward. At this time, he had no time to worry about Jamison, who was already running towards the three-point line.

Jamison did have a good shooting opportunity at this time, but at such a critical moment, Yang Shuai believed more in his offense.

"Squeak!" A sharp friction sound sounded, and Yang Shuai, who had just rushed out from Kobe's side, suddenly stopped. He stopped suddenly and took off! Yang Shuai's movements were very fast, whether he was rushing forward or taking off.

Odom was in front, and Kobe was on the side. When Yang Shuai took off, the two Lakers stars also jumped up, and their two big hands reached toward Yang Shuai's head.

Although Odom and Kobe jumped up with all their strength, the distance between them and the ball did not get any closer. They kept leaning back. Yang Shuai's body seemed to be completely out of gravity at this moment.

Take action! With a flick of his finger, the ball in Yang Shuai's hand flew out and went straight to the inside.

"Roar!" The extreme backward tilt made Yang Shuai involuntarily take a step backwards after landing, and then he jumped up excitedly, punched and roared.

"The ball went in! The ball went in! Facing the difficult defense of Kobe and Lamar, Yang hit a fadeaway jumper, and the Warriors took the lead again!"

"Warriors! Warriors!" At 99:100, the Warriors took the lead again, and the atmosphere at the scene became more and more fanatical at this time.

The Lakers requested a timeout. There were only 23 seconds left in the game. The Lakers had the last chance to attack. Will they be dragged into a tiebreaker or eliminated? Victory or failure depends on this.

"The last moment came, with 23 seconds left in the game, the Warriors led by 1 point, and the Lakers had the right to attack. This was a fateful offense..."

Gasol serves the ball from the outside, and the Lakers' three outside players are all running quickly. Evans is the one with the greatest pressure among all the Warriors players, because Kobe Bryant, who is facing him, will be the absolute choice for the final attack.

Gasol's eyes kept following Kobe's movement, but he did not find a suitable passing opportunity. Seeing that 5 seconds were coming, he turned his eyes to Fisher, who was pulling away. He had 23 seconds.

, it was enough for Fisher to pass the ball to Kobe's hands. Gasol no longer hesitated and threw the ball to Fisher near the midline.

"Careful!" Gasol threw the ball and shouted immediately because he saw Yang Shuai quickly approaching Fisher at this moment.

"Whoosh!" The super speed caused Yang Shuai's running to make a slight sound of wind, and from Fisher's sight, he felt that the figure in front of him had disappeared in a flash of the ball.

"Oops!" Steal? The expressions of all the Lakers players changed drastically at this moment.

"Coax!" At this moment, the scene erupted into cheers like a tsunami.

"Steal! Yang steals! Fast break..."

When Yang Shuai rushed forward after completing the steal, the Lakers players tried to block him, but they were unable to do anything. The closest to Yang Shuai was Fisher, but when he reacted, Yang Shuai was already close to the three-point line.

"Bang!" Dunk!

"Yang stole the ball and succeeded in a fast break dunk! Beautiful! So beautiful, the Warriors have a 3-point lead, a key steal, a fatal steal! Yang, you did a great job!"

"Roar!" Yang Shuai jumped up and roared after smashing the ball into the basket. The Warriors fans at the scene also jumped up at this time, waving everything in their hands and roaring loudly, and holding various slogans high at this time.

rise.

"The Lakers need a three-pointer. If they can make it, the game will go into overtime. Otherwise, the victory will belong to the Warriors!"

The Lakers players released the ball quickly, and they no longer had a timeout. When the ball was handed to Kobe, he found that the person blocking him was not Evans but Yang Shuai.

At the last moment of the game, Yang Shuai took the initiative to take over the task of defending Kobe.

Sticking tightly to Kobe's side, Yang Shuai was not worried that Kobe would choose to break through at this time. Kobe would not choose to break through at this time. He signaled Gasol to step forward to pick and roll. Kobe quickly moved to the side and took off to shoot.

Kobe was fast, and the others were also fast. Yang Shuai quickly circled around Gasol, and Chandler also rushed forward at this time. Both of them put tremendous pressure on Kobe.

"Bang!" Kobe Bryant's three-pointer bounced out of the basket, declaring that the game had been decided. Although the Lakers subsequently adopted foul tactics, it was of no avail.

"Beep!" When the long beep sounded throughout the game, Yang Shuai threw the ball high, and the scene was already filled with joy.

"99:104! The Warriors achieved the final victory. They won Game 6 at home and eliminated the Lakers 4:2, advancing to the Western Conference Finals again!"
