When both sides returned to their main lineups, the game immediately became intense, and the Warriors still defended Zhuang Yu tightly.

Although Zhuang Yu still scored 11 points in the first quarter, they still resolutely restricted Zhuang Yu's three-pointers and could not let Zhuang Yu make three-pointers.

this point is very important.

Seeing the opponent's defensive strategy, Zhuang Yu smiled slightly and didn't care. He continued to create opportunities for his teammates. He believed that his teammates would not let him down.

His teammates did not disappoint him.

When Zhuang Yu attracted the defense and passed the ball, his teammates were always able to score.

Especially Lopez, who used his positional advantage in the interior to score points continuously, making the Warriors' interior miserable.

Originally, the Warriors' five-small lineup was strong in offense but weak in defense, especially in the interior defense. At this time, Zhuang Yu's restraining effect on the defense was too great, making Lopez's advantage in the interior more and more obvious.

Just a few minutes into the quarter, Lopez had already scored 9 points.

So even though the Warriors played very well on offense, even better than in the previous game, and Curry, Durant, and Klay all performed well, they still were not able to gain the upper hand.

This makes Warriors fans feel a little depressed.

In the past, when the Warriors played like this, the opponent would have collapsed long ago. But today, the Warriors played very well, but they still couldn't get the upper hand.

"boom!"

With a dull thud, Zhuang Yu's three-point shot missed.

But he didn't care and turned around and retreated quickly.

The Warriors fans in the audience breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the ball did not go in. Now, when they saw Zhuang Yu shooting a three-pointer, their scalps tingled.

But when they looked at the score again, the Lakers were still in the lead, and they were no longer happy.

"What the hell, Zhuang Yu didn't score many points in this quarter, and his three-point shooting was not good, but why can't we gain the upper hand?"

"The other Lakers players played really well today, especially Lopez. He already scored 15 points in the first half."

"Damn, why are the Lakers so hard to deal with..."

Warriors fans were very unhappy and helpless.

On the court, the game continued. The situation had not changed much, the score between the two sides was still tense, and the Lakers had a slight advantage.

Until the end of the second quarter, the Lakers still led by 2 points.

......

After entering the third quarter, the Warriors began to launch a fierce counterattack. Curry and Klay hit three-pointers in succession, and Durant also made consecutive jump shots.

The Warriors finally launched a wave of attacks and overtook the score in one fell swoop.

Of course, this situation did not last long. Soon, Zhuang Yu exerted his strength on the offensive end, first hitting a three-pointer, and then breaking through to score 2+1. He scored 6 points in a row, helping the Lakers stabilize the situation and forcing the Warriors to call a timeout.

"Hey......"

Coach Kerr sighed, feeling a little depressed, but not too surprised.

It is obviously impossible to completely defend a super scorer like Zhuang Yu. Zhuang Yu scored 1 points in the first quarter, but only 11 points in the second quarter. Limiting his score to 2 points in the first half was considered a success.

What's more, Draymond Green was troubled by fouls today, and the Warriors' defense itself failed to achieve its maximum effect.

So it was not surprising that Zhuang Yu suddenly exploded in scoring in the third quarter.

All Coach Kerr could do was call a timeout to curb the Lakers' momentum, and then further emphasize the defense against Zhuang Yu on the defensive end.

After the timeout, both sides returned to the court.

The Warriors naturally guarded Zhuang Yu closely, and would rather commit a foul than not disrupt his scoring form and touch.

It has to be said that what the Warriors did was effective. Zhuang Yu's scoring efficiency began to decline, and he also consciously reduced his shots and created more opportunities for his teammates.

Fortunately, even though Zhuang Yu's scoring efficiency declined, the Warriors did not dare to relax their defense against him, so other players of the Lakers still got a lot of opportunities.

And the performances of other Lakers players are still outstanding. Lopez played well before, but now it is Korver and Holiday's turn in this quarter.

Korver hit two three-pointers in this quarter, and Holiday also scored 5 points. The two of them teamed up to support the Lakers' offense and had a back-and-forth battle with the Warriors.

Until the end of the third quarter, the gap between the two sides was still not widened.

The score was tied.

This is not unexpected, after all, the previous two games have proved that the Lakers are very strong and are not inferior to the Warriors. Such a strong confrontation is bound to be very tense, and it is common for the two teams to fight to the end.

......

After entering the last quarter, the Warriors replaced their main lineup early, replacing Curry, Durant, Klay, and Draymond Green. Their attitude was very obvious, that they were determined to win this game.

Seeing the opponent like this, the Lakers also made substitutions, sending Zhuang Yu, Holiday, Lopez and others into the game.

What makes Warriors fans depressed is that Curry and Durant performed very well and scored on the offensive end, but every time they scored, the Lakers could also fight back on the defensive end. The key person who stood up to restore the color was not Zhuang Yu, but other role players.

For example, Lopez and Anderson.

Yes, Anderson became the surprise player in this quarter.

Lopez played very well in the first three quarters, with his personal score exceeding 20 points. His performance was still outstanding after entering the fourth quarter. Not only did he score in the paint, but he also hit a three-pointer. His personal score has already reached 4 points.

Given Lopez's condition today and the Warriors' defensive strategy, it is not surprising that he scored 30 points.

What people didn't expect was that Anderson suddenly broke out in the fourth quarter. He first broke through and made a slow three-step layup, and then grabbed a rebound in the paint and made a second attack. In the last two minutes, he even hit a three-pointer in the bottom corner.

In the fourth quarter, Anderson scored 4 points and Lopez scored 7 points, and the two of them scored 9 points in total.

There are also Holiday, Korver, and Zhuang Yu.

In fact, Zhuang Yu didn't score a lot in the fourth quarter, but his personal score has reached more than 4 points without him noticing. What is eye-catching is not his score, but his assists. Today he has already sent out 20 assists, and it is still rising...

"Whoosh!"

Zhuang Yu just swung the ball with one hand without even looking at his teammates. The basketball drew a beautiful arc in the air and went straight to the basket and was given to Anderson who was cutting to the basket. Anderson grabbed the basketball, jumped up and slammed it down, scoring another two points.

At this time, there were only 30 seconds left in the game and the Lakers were leading by 6 points.

The situation was somewhat unfavorable for the Warriors, so Coach Kerr called a timeout and made new arrangements.

After the timeout, the Warriors used a three-point tactic and finally gave the ball to Curry, who scored the goal and did not disappoint people.

But there is not much time left for the Warriors.

Only foul tactics can be implemented.

Zhuang Yu stood on the free throw line and made two free throws steadily, widening the score difference to 5 points again. The Warriors only had 10 seconds left to attack. They still wanted to grab a three-pointer, but they failed to hit it, and the game came to an end.
