Chapter 672 For Victory! Paul Gets Dirty!

"Beep!"

There are 2 minutes left in the third quarter.

The Lakers called a timeout.

The players did not look well.

The comeback of the "New York Big Three," the deficit in score, and the large deficit in the series made them uneasy.

This rhythm is off.

They must change the situation as soon as possible and win the game.

There was a brief silence.

Paul said in a deep voice, "I think... we need to play more aggressively, both on offense and defense."

We fought even harder and more violently.

We can't give those Knicks guys even a moment's respite.

To be merciful to the enemy is to be cruel to oneself!

"Ah."

Kobe frowned deeply: "They are the defending champions, and they are much stronger than I imagined."

We cannot let our good form make us complacent and assume we can easily defeat the Knicks.

We must remain focused and always give 200% of our competitive spirit.

"Okay, boss!"

"We will fight with everything we have to win!"

"Oh~"

The Lakers players were all highly motivated.

Not a moment.

Pause back.

The final two minutes of the third quarter were crucial.

Paul drove to the basket and faced Curry's close defense once again. This time... Paul didn't pass the ball.

He made a strong drive and delivered a sneaky elbow strike to Curry's stomach, causing Curry to wince in pain and halt his defense.

Paul then made a layup.

During a defensive play, Curry broke through Paul's defense with a change of pace, and the latter forced his way up, subtly pulling and dragging him.

The actions weren't big, but they were all minor fouls that could have been called or not.

This is testing the referees' standards of judgment.

Paul has always been good at reading the officiating standards; no matter what kind of defense he plays, the referees won't call it.

Once under control.

His defense will be dirty, but it won't get called.

This is a technical job.

This will be hated by the opponent, but it really works.

This halted Curry's offense, and even though he kept complaining to the referee, the referee ignored him.

Paul smiled slightly, watching the show as he continued to put "dirty" defensive pressure on Curry and his matchup.

Curry, George, Tony Allen, and other Knicks players all disliked Paul's defensive tactics.

But it doesn't matter.

Paul didn't care at all.

He would do anything to win, to take the championship.

"Chris's defense is so dirty, and the referee isn't calling it. I'm so annoyed. Is this really our home court?!"

Curry looked visibly annoyed.

The referee still didn't call a foul.

Frustrated, Curry also tried to emulate Paul's defensive style, increasing his intensity by using elbows and even shoving.

result……

"Beep!"

The referee called an offensive foul on Curry.

"WTF?!"

Curry was completely baffled.

He was puzzled as to why he would be called for fouls while Paul wouldn't, even for the same defensive plays.

This made him even more dissatisfied.

His gradually collapsing mentality caused his performance to deteriorate, which was exactly the situation Paul wanted to see.

The last two minutes of the third quarter.

Curry didn't score a single point, while Paul scored two consecutive baskets against Curry, drew two fouls, and helped the team tie the score.

The three-quarter battle ended.

[Knicks 83:83 Lakers]

The two teams drew.

Everything is back to the same starting line, and the final quarter will determine the winner.

The Lakers won, bringing the series to Game 6. Back on their home court, they have a chance to capitalize on their momentum and force a decisive Game 7.

If the Knicks win, the season will end, and they will emerge victorious as a two-time champion!
