"I think the Lakers' tenacity is beyond our predictions. If they reach the Finals, they will not be much weaker than the Warriors." James turned to Smith and said seriously. The Lakers' tenacity has won respect for themselves.

Smith nodded. They had been playing against the Celtics before, and the process was also very ups and downs. They didn't know much about the Lakers, but after watching this game, he understood a truth that the strength of the player is sometimes not the main factor that determines the outcome of the game.

After a brief break between the festivals, the players from both sides returned to the court.

Billups did not immediately send Tang Shuai at the beginning of the fourth quarter. Like the last game, he asked Gasol to lead the team to play.

The Warriors also played very cautiously, and only let Durant lead the team alone.

“(Beat the Lakers!)”

The audience cheered for the home team at the beginning of the fourth quarter. This slogan has never appeared in previous games, which shows that at least in the hearts of the fans, they have regarded the Lakers as an opponent with the same strength as the home team.

In fact, if someone thinks that the Lakers are weak at this time, it would be extremely arrogant.

Durant's performance is still very brave, scoring consecutively in the offense, and the Lakers are unable to keep up with Gasol's score alone.

After more than 2 minutes of the game, Durant scored another three-pointer, the Warriors expanded their lead to 5 points.

Seeing that the momentum was wrong, Billups had nothing to keep, so he directly replaced Shuai Tang and Noel, and directly fought the final battle in advance.

Cole didn't dare to be arrogant, and replaced Thompson and Green directly on the court in one go, and was ready to fight the final battle in advance.

As soon as the Lakers' offense came, Tang Shuai recovered his strength after a three-minute break. Now he advanced to the frontcourt, asked Noel to have a pick-and-roll, and cut directly into the basket.

When he launched a breakthrough, Ai's exclusive corssover package and Pan's single package were activated almost at the same time. He saw the opportunity and a change of direction accelerated and overcame Green, who came to defend, accelerated to the basket and directly leaned against Pachulia to score the goal.

In the Warriors' round, Durant felt the best, and Green and Pachuria helped him play a chance in succession of pick-and-rolls. After Pachuria's pick-and-rolls, Durant took advantage of Gasol's moment of slowing down in defense.

With a "swish", Durant raised his sword and added two points to the home team.

Looking back, Tang Shuai suddenly scored Mike Dermot, who made a fake pass to reply. After receiving the ball, he swayed Pachulia and then half-turned and hit the hook.

The Warriors' offense, Durant caught the ball and broke again, attracting the double team to the outside line, Thompson hit Batum, and after moving forward, he made a two-pointer from a long distance.

The Lakers advanced to the frontcourt again. Tang Shuai asked Gasol to organize it and ran to the right wing three-point line by himself, shook Thompson and rushed straight to the basket. After Pachuria came to assist in defense, he directly received the ball and threw it to Noel.

After jumping up, Noel failed to succeed under the interference of Durant who assisted in defense, but after landing, he started again, grabbed the offensive rebound, and ignored Durant's dunk score.

The success rate of both sides of the offensive during this period was very high, with continuous increase in points.

The audience was watching at this time, and the fourth quarter of both sides showed their super competitive state.

The assistant coaches on both sides all arrived on the sidelines and kept roaring at their respective players, reminding them of their position on the defensive end.

Fans who scored consecutively are watching this kind of round of continuous scoring, but for the team, continuous loss of points is intolerable.

With the Warriors' offense, Curry scored again after breaking through the basket. Xiao roared in anger, and he almost rushed into the field to lift Batum who was defending.

When the Lakers attacked, Noel rushed to the basket through Pachuria and Durant's defenses, turning around to take action against Green.

"Position, Draymond, position!" Warriors assistant coach Collins shouted anxiously from the sidelines at this time.

Green didn't care about it at this time, and turned around and ignored it, pulling Nol down.

The foul was so fierce that Noel, who was originally about to jump, was pulled down directly, and his center of gravity was unstable, and he fell to the ground.

After Noel landed, his butt bounced from the ground the next second and pushed Green.

Green was not that easy to mess with. He was pushed and turned around. His mouth was so thick that he was about to fuck him.

Noel was also young and was bigger than Green, so he was not showing any weakness at this moment, and the two of them immediately fought together.

There was a booing sound at the scene, and the team members on both sides rushed in and pulled the fight.

After being stunned for a while, the referee also rushed to join the battle.

With the referee joining, both sides were quickly pulled apart, but they kept talking to each other, obviously not so easy to calm down.

"Relax, relax." Tang Shuai kept saying to Noel. Green's evil offense was the first, but this was at the Warriors' home court. Over-reacting may lead to adverse effects.

Noel's mood gradually stabilized, but Green was still chattering there. Obviously Noel's reaction made him feel very upset.

This sudden conflict also caused the match between the two sides to stop.

When the game ended, Tang Shuai looked up at the scoring device above his head.

110 to 105, the Warriors still have a 5-point lead.

If the penalty is fair, it is likely to give Green a malicious foul and Noel a technical foul. This way, it is still very beneficial to the team to throw two free throws.

"The Warriors are trying to anger us. We must be patient. We only fall behind by 5 points. There is still a chance. Don't shake it. The referee's penalty standard will definitely tighten after the ball. Everyone should pay attention to their actions on the defensive end. You can take the opportunity to open some on the offensive end..." Taking advantage of this extra timeout, Billups kept emphasizing the players.

Although he is still 5 points behind, there are more than 4 minutes left before the end of the game, and it is still unclear who wins and who loses.

After a anxious wait, the referee finally announced the penalty.

But the result is unexpected.

The referee directly gave each of them a malicious foul!

As soon as the penalty came out, there was no response on the scene, but the Lakers' bench was obviously infuriating. This penalty was equivalent to a blow to each other and the matter was settled.

But this ball clearly shows that Greene's evil offender is ahead, and such a penalty is obviously unfair!

It was Billups who called the Lakers players and ran to the referee for a while to negotiate, but the result was nothing changed.

But this is actually very obvious. During the regular season, Shuai Tang turned a blind eye to the foul when he was fouled. Now that it is in the playoffs, it is normal to think about it.

"Relax, relax, don't let this affect our emotions, at least the same penalty, we didn't lose anything..." Billups showed his confidence at the critical moment, and his calmness also slowly calmed the Lakers' anger.

Both sides made malicious fouls and the ball rights exchanges offset each other, which was equivalent to two free throws each other. However, because Green made a layup foul, Noel had two additional free throws.

The free thrower who commits malicious fouls can be chosen by himself. The Warriors send Curry to the Lakers, while the Lakers asks Shuai Tang to go to the penalty.

At this time, I have to say that this is a dramatic thing. When Tang Shuai was cut by Po Povich and Hoiberg, he has now become the one who takes technical fouls and free throws.

Both of them seized the opportunity and after steadily hit both free throws, the difference between the two sides was still 5 points.

After both sides finished the penalty, Noel's foul was made.

I don’t know if the foul in front affected his mood. Faced with the crazy noises in the whole game, he failed to make two free throws.

Seeing that he was confiscated two free throws, Green took the defensive rebound and looked back at him provocatively.

He was so angry that he felt that he was about to explode again soon.

Tang Shuai noticed this when he retreated and ran to him to signal him to calm down.

The Warriors' offense, Green gave Durant a pick-and-roll, Durant rushed to the basket, and a big loop avoided Noor's defensive layup.

At the critical moment of this game, he finally stopped being as soft as he had in the previous games.

However, the Lakers obviously did not want to give up. Tang Shuai scored a sudden score of Mike Dermot, and the latter made a three-pointer, but Gasol used his long arm to grab the frontcourt rebound and gave Deng a hand to him, and the latter made a small throw.

However, the Warriors were not ruthless. Curry made a long pass from Thompson, who went to the frontcourt to face Batum and made a small throw.

The gap between the two sides widened to 7 points again. As the game time continued to be consumed, the Warriors have gradually grasped the situation on the field.

"Dou!Dou!"

And at this moment, a whistle sound came from the Warriors' halftime, and it turned out that Norr and Green had another conflict while competing for rebounds.

A similar situation as last year is that the referee's indulgence has given Green a new definition of the foul scale. When fighting for the ball, he directly hugged Nol behind him with his hands. Nol pushed Grinder away, and the two almost took action again.

The referee also frowned at this time, without any hesitation, and directly threw his hands and gave two people a technical foul.

When the head coaches on both sides saw that the two people were getting emotional, they replaced them one after another.

This is a fatal loss for both sides.

However, in comparison, the Warriors are more profitable. Because of Durant's existence, Green's role in the Warriors is obviously not as important as last season.

When Green came out, Cole pushed Durant to the fourth position and directly formed a small lineup.

The players on both sides returned to the court. When the Lakers' offense, Tang Shuai wanted to catch the ball, but Iguodala directly locked him. Batum, who held the ball, had no choice but to try to hand Gasol in the inside, but Durant quickly had his eyes and arms long, and broke the ball away with one hand.

The Warriors took advantage of the situation and launched another fast attack, and Durant hit Deng with an inhumane tomahawk dunk.

117 to 108!

The Warriors' lead has reached 9 points, and the game time is less than 3 minutes left.

The Lakers called a timeout.
