Really decisive.
In the expectant eyes of the fans, the ball spun and crossed a high parabola.
"Boom!"
In Yang Yi's excited commentary, Carter's second three-pointer, and it was a super long three-pointer, hit it again!
"Old Huang Zhong! Walk through Yang with a hundred steps!"
Immediately afterwards, Yang Yi described Carter's performance with a rather apt words.
The first thousand 270 chapters and nine legendary witnesses
14 is better than 10!
Vogel reached out and called a timeout.
Carter scored two three-pointers in a row and stopped the Lakers directly!
"Vince! Vince!"
When the timeout came off, the fans couldn't hide their excitement and chanted Carter's name.
This name represents the youth of many people present!
Stevens also patted Carter on the shoulder hard when he was off the court.
It feels like luck to give a three-pointer to the opponent, but if he hits two in a row, unless Vogel is brave enough, he will definitely not dare to put the Pelicans outside like this again.
As long as the Lakers don't dare to let go, Tang Tian will be under less pressure of double-teaming, which is definitely a good thing for the Pelicans.
After the timeout, Durant ran to catch the ball and scored a goal, which stabilized the situation on the court for the Lakers.
Looking back at the Pelicans' offense.
Sure enough, Carter stood in the bottom corner and pinned Durant over.
Tang Tian changed direction in the double-team and went straight to the inside line. His shot scored also caused Lopez's defensive foul.
As Stevens expected, the Lakers didn't dare to double-team easily anymore, and it became significantly easier for Don to double-team and count open.
Tang Tian's extra penalty hit steadily, and the Pelicans took a 17-point lead 12-5.
These rounds have also become the epitome of this section of the game.
Although Carter didn't make another shot later, the Lakers just didn't dare to shrink easily, and Tang Tian played with ease under the double team.
After the first quarter, the score on the court was 35 to 24, and the Pelicans took an 11-point lead in a single quarter.
Without Davis, the Pelicans scored this kind of score, which really swept away the decline of the past two games.
Carter's two three-pointers contributed a lot.
However, the Lakers were beaten by the Mavericks in the previous semifinals, and their performance was really good.
In the transition period from the bench, under the leadership of Simmons and Middleton, the Lakers abruptly tied the score again.
Falling behind in the starting stage, chasing points during the substitute period.
This has also become a main theme for the Lakers and the Pelicans tonight.
Carter's start gave the Pelicans an advantage in the starting stage, and the state of their bench tonight is far behind the Lakers.
They failed to seize the opportunity to open the score in one go.
The two teams played until 1 minute before the end of the game.
Durant and James once again showed their superstar strength. The two played together to help the Lakers chase the score to 111 to 115.
1 minute, 4 points difference, the outcome is still full of suspense.
In Tang Tian's attack with the ball in the front court, he passed the three of them in a row and made Lopez's thugs, and got two free throw opportunities.
Amid the MVP cheers from the fans at the scene, he made both free throws, and his personal data also reached 40 points, 11 rebounds and 15 assists, achieving a 40+ triple-double in the playoffs.
But in the next round, James showed the strength of the second small forward in history, and scored a three-pointer against Green's defense, chasing the score to 114 to 117.
Stevens reached out and called a timeout.
3 points difference!
With 30 seconds left before the end of the game, as long as the Lakers defend the next round of the Pelicans, they have a chance to drag the game into overtime.
After the timeout, the Pelicans made a substitution, and Carter replaced Green.
Carter made 4 of 2 from outside the three-point line tonight. Although he missed the next two three-pointers, Stevens still chose to trust him at the critical moment.
Moreover, the main attacker of this ball is Tang Tian, and replacing Carter is also a psychological pressure on Vogel.
Sure enough, Vogel saw the substitution on the Pelicans side, and then called a timeout to rearrange tactics.
This is the psychological shadow cast by Carter's two three-pointers in the opening game.
If it weren't for those two three-pointers, the Lakers would not have been in a passive chasing point all night.
The continuous timeout was a bit long, and it also tormented the hearts of the fans.
When the long whistle sounded on the sidelines, they were also a little out of breath.
As long as the Pelicans score in the next round, even if they only score 1 point, the victory is already in the bag.
After a timeout, the Pelicans served in the backcourt, and Brogdon advanced to the frontcourt and handed the ball to Tang Tian.
Tang Tian was pressing time.
Regardless of whether this round can be scored or not, the more time consumed, the better for the Pelicans.
With about 10 seconds left in the attack time, he continuously changed direction and squeezed past Durant, and went directly to the inside to accelerate the breakthrough.
Vogel yelled to shrink from the sidelines.
Breaking through the inside and causing damage is the safest way for the Pelicans to score.
The five players on the Lakers team are shrinking towards Tang Tian!
At the last moment of the last game, Tang Tian scored the ball against the four-man defense. This time the Lakers were more thorough.
If 4 people are not enough, just 5 people, all of them!
But Tang Tian didn't choose to force himself this time.
If the team falls behind, he will most likely choose to be strong.
But now the team is still leading by 3 points, not to that point.
He chose to split the ball, and the goal of the split was very clear, Carter in the bottom corner.
Like Stevens, he also trusts Carter!
And taking a step back, Carter really can't make a shot, and the worst thing is to retreat.
Stevens is not the kind of coach who leads by three points and fights for free throws.
The ball was in Carter's hands, and the Pelicans had only 2 seconds left on their attack.
Without hesitation, he shot directly.
It was too late for the Lakers to return to defense, so they could only watch Carter take the shot.
Vogel's heart tightened at this moment.
After making his defensive picks, he's betting on how the Pelicans feel on the perimeter.
This is also the correct choice, let Tang Tian take the key ball, and let others take the shot, the grasp is definitely different.
But when Carter really shot, he was still a little nervous.
Although Carter failed to make two shots in the second and third quarters, a veteran like Carter is still a super giant in the past, and his psychological quality is very good.
And the key ball, the fight is the psychological quality.
The ball whirled in the air towards the basket, and fell straight towards the basket under the gaze of everyone on the scene.
The excitement in the eyes of the fans at the scene could no longer be hidden.
"Shh!"
A crisp sound.
Carter made a key three-pointer!
120 is better than 114!
There are 7 seconds before the game, 6 points difference, the game is over!
Vogel called the final timeout.
He used a timeout to rearrange his defensive tactics, but it still failed!
And the direct consequence is that even if the Lakers can make this goal, the Lakers have no timeout, and it is basically impossible to win!
Carter, Carter, this 42-year-old veteran, the last ball really killed him.
At this time Tang Tian took the initiative to go over and give Carter a high five.
Although Carter only scored 3 three-pointers and scored 9 points tonight, every goal is priceless.
"Vince! Vince!"
The fans at the scene also chanted Carter's name in unison.
For a 42-year-old, Carter really did the best he could tonight.
He deserves such cheers.
Many fans even cried with excitement.
In this venue, they witnessed Rose's 50-point legend last season, this season they witnessed Tang Tian's 102-point performance, and now they saw the 42-year-old Catesy's performance at a critical moment in the final.
This arena is really a witness to legends.
The first thousand and 280 chapters of the unprecedented appearance ceremony
After a timeout, the Lakers serve in the frontcourt.
The only way they want the game to continue is to hit a three-pointer and then foul the Pelicans immediately on the spot to send the Pelicans to the free throw line.
Simmons made a sideline kick, the Lakers played a starburst tactic, and Middleton came out and made a feint.
Durant, who was followed by Lopez's pick-and-roll, was the real shot.
Simmons' pass was in place, and Durant turned around and shot directly after receiving the ball.
Time is running out and they must cherish every second.
However, Gasol's pre-judgment of the ball was successful, and the blocked block was enough to interfere.
"Dangdang!"
Durant missed a three-pointer.
Lopez succeeded in grabbing the offensive rebound at this time. After he got the ball, he observed it for a while and gave it to Durant who ran out of position again.
Durant made another three-pointer for the second time.
"Shh!"
The basketball goes into the frame.
However, the red light on the sidelines also followed.
It's game time!
120 is better than 117!
The Pelicans finally defeated the Lakers by 3 points, rewriting the big score to 2 to 1!
