Coach Hamm saw James' decline in physical fitness through the defense just now, so he took the initiative to apply for a timeout, hoping to help James recover his strength.

As soon as James got off the court, he unscrewed the cap and began to drink the sports drink. Five years ago, this level of physical exertion was not a problem for him, but now it is so difficult to complete even a recovery.

Davis watched James' performance and stood up, ready for the coach to put him on the court again.

But James reached out to stop Davis: "AD, you can rest well, and when I tie the score, you will come back." "

But," Davis said, looking at the scoreboard on top of the arena.

"Trust me, AD. James put the sports drink aside, picked up a towel and wiped the sweat from his face, "Since you want to win this game so much, then I can't live up to your expectations." Just

then, the referee's whistle blew and the timeout ended.

James waved his hand to Davis and stepped onto the court again.

After Rivers dribbled the ball across half court, he first exchanged glances with James, and only after receiving an affirmative answer from James did he pass the ball over.

James faced Chang Tiancheng outside the three-point line, first made a three-threat move, and then directly pulled up and shot a three-pointer.

Chang Tiancheng jumped with all his might, but it didn't seem to have any effect. James hit a shot to stretch the margin to six points.

Keldon held the ball past half court and gave the ball to Sochan, who had already run to the bottom corner.

But without the blessing of Chang Tiancheng's point guard god skill, Sohan's bottom corner three-pointer ended in iron.

The Lakers immediately began to fight back after receiving the rebound, after all, there was not much time left in the fourth quarter, and if it was still slow, I am afraid it would be difficult to chase the score back.

After receiving a pass from a teammate, James broke through without stopping the ball, and after confronting Drummond with shoulder strength, he steadily put the ball into the Spurs' basket and caused Drummond's foul.

After this free throw, the difference between the two teams was only three points.

In the next round, Chang Tiancheng tried to shoot a three-point shot on the outside and returned the color, but did not hit, the Lakers took advantage of the situation to blow the horn of counterattack again, and the audience at the scene once again stood up to cheer for their home team, and those who were originally ready to leave also sat down and watched the game seriously.

James went all the way to the Spurs' interior, attracted a three-man bag, and passed the ball to Hachimura, who was following up from behind.

Hachimura stood outside the three-point line, his legs straight, his hands up and down, and hit another three-pointer to help the Lakers tie the score.

At this time, Popovich finally couldn't bear it anymore and called a timeout.

On the Spurs' bench, there was a hint of anger in Popovich's voice: "Chang, do you know what your decision went wrong this time?"

Chang Tiancheng shook his head, in his perspective, there was nothing wrong with his decision, but the state of the opposing players was better today.

Popovich took a deep breath to calm his anger a bit, and then said, "Your problem is that you're underestimating LeBron James too much. The

eyes of the surrounding Spurs players, along with Popovich's words, invariably moved to James on the opposing bench.

"Do you think that after exerting his physical strength on the court, he can easily defeat the Lakers? Let me tell you, this guy's physical fitness is at the level of a monster, and it is definitely a mistake to judge him by ordinary people's physical fitness. Popovich looked at Chang Tiancheng and continued, "If you change to another player today, your strategy is understandable, but in the face of James, as long as the game is not over, I advise you to go all out, otherwise he will seize the opportunity and complete the reversal."

Chang Tiancheng listened carefully to Popovich's words, and his expression became serious: "I understand the coach, in the next time, I will face him with the mentality that we are still behind."

Popovich nodded and said to Wembanyama: "Victor, you are in too much of a hurry in this game. You know, even against Davis, you have enough physical advantages, you have to make good use of it. "

Yes, Coach!" Wembanyama made a standing salute, which seemed a little funny, and also tempered the atmosphere of the Spurs at this time.

The timeout was over and both sides were back on the field. The Lakers have once again fielded Davis and are ready to face the Spurs to the death in the rest of the game.

Chang Tiancheng slowly held the ball over the half court and gave the ball to Wembanyama.

After Wembanyama received the ball this time, he didn't make any superfluous moves at all to give the Lakers a chance, and directly turned over and leaned back, facing Davis's defense, and threw the ball steadily.

But the Lakers turned their heads and James hit a three-pointer to overtake the score by one point. The audience cheered hard for their home team, hoping that their home team could defeat their opponents in the coming time.

After Chang Tiancheng and Wembanyama had a pick-and-roll cooperation, he faced Davis's defense, dummeled a shot, and then broke through to the Lakers' interior and completed a throw near the free throw line.

James continued to push for the fast break, only to find that the defender in front of him had become Keldon again. James knew he couldn't force himself through his body in the face of Keldon. So, he first beckoned the thick eyebrows to come over to block for himself, and passed the ball to Bamba on the inside at the moment when the thick eyebrows were covering, and then he bypassed the cover of the thick eyebrows.

The Lakers held on to a one-point lead with less than a minute left in the game.

Chang Tiancheng did not hesitate and directly gave the ball to Wembanyama, and Wembanyama also lived up to expectations, scoring a goal again with a left-handed hook to overtake the score.

James pushed, and he wanted to play as much time as possible so that there would be less time left for the Spurs.

With five seconds left in the offensive time, James broke through to the three-point line against Chang Tiancheng, and then suddenly stepped back, pulled up and shot a three-pointer.

The basketball smashed on the rebound and bounced into the basket! In the last ten seconds, the Lakers took the lead by two points!

The Lakers fans at the scene were ready to win. Popovich didn't call a timeout, choosing to let the players handle the last offense themselves.
