Chapter 327

The enthusiasm of the fans in the Quicken Loans Center arena is quite high. During the shooting warm-up session, players from both sides would cheer from time to time.

Kobe has the highest popularity among active players, even in Cleveland, the limelight is not weaker than the little emperor James.

James and Kobe were not familiar with each other at first, but they established a friendship during the Mengba period, and the relationship between the two is pretty good now.James walked up to the Lakers shooting half court and briefly joked with Bryant.

Tencent attaches great importance to this game, and invited Yang Yi as a guest to explain the potentially exciting game.

Director Zhang and Yu Jia were in Yangwu, chatting about the anecdotes they learned about the Lakers and Cavaliers.

The engagement between Xu Tian and Alice was naturally mentioned.

Yu Jia looked at Director Zhang, who was smiling, and said, "According to my understanding, Xu Tian has booked a restaurant in Beverly Hills. The team members all participated in the marriage proposal ceremony. Although no media photos have been released, it is said that the scale is quite large."

Director Zhang said: "Xu Tian and I sent a few text messages to inquire about the situation at that time. The cost was very high. As for the scale, we can't guess it."

"As the game is about to start, let's return to the game itself." Yu Jia stopped the topic in a timely manner and said, "The last time the Cavaliers and the Lakers played to the last minute, and finally relied on Nick Young's magical three-pointer to narrowly win. What does the director think the game will be like?"

Director Zhang said: "Yesterday when the Lakers played the Bucks, the three main players of the Lakers only played on the outside for more than 20 minutes. It is clear that they are focusing on today. If there is no accident, this game will be very anxious. "

Yu Jia heard the director's reminder and said: "The game has already started, let's watch this focus regular season."

Central Five first released the starting lineups of both sides.

Cavaliers starters: Irving, Iman Shumpert, James, Love, Timofey Mozgov.

Lakers starters: Xu Tian, ​​Kobe Bryant, George, Nance Jr., Tyson Chandler.

The Lakers won the right to attack for the first time. When entering the broadcast screen, Xu Tian hit the ground and passed the ball to Kobe.

The defender Kobe faced was Irving, holding the ball with his back and hands, using his back to feel Irving's center of gravity and defensive movements.

Irving is 191 centimeters tall and weighs 88 kilograms. He played for the Duke Blue Devils in college and was coached by Coach K for a year.The offensive end is almost omnipotent, but the defensive end is much inferior.

Kobe found Owen's defensive weakness, dribbled the ball with his back, swayed his footsteps continuously, and successfully got a good offensive space.

James played at the [-]th position when he was in the Heat. At that time, he could be called a combination of offense and defense. After returning to the Cavaliers, he lost weight and returned to the [-]rd position. His defensive power has weakened a lot.When the position was closest to Kobe and Irving, he did not make up the defense in time.

Kobe turned over and leaned back, with a familiar picturesque movement, and shot.

The basketball drew a high arc, hit the back edge of the rim, and bounced into the air.

James gave up his opponent ahead of time, took off quickly inside, and grabbed the defensive rebound vigorously.Then dribble directly to speed up, promoting the conversion of offense and defense.

Irving ran forward quickly, attracting the Lakers' defensive attention, and ran out of the baseline.

James didn't pass the ball, accelerated the dribble in a straight line, passed Nance Jr., who was retreating, jumped with both feet, and dunked with his right tomahawk!

0-2!

Tonight, the Cavaliers fans were already extremely excited, and they were ignited by James' hard-hitting dunk, and cheers erupted.The Quicken Loans Center arena immediately became hot.

Kobe listened to the shouts similar to those in the playoffs in the arena, and knew that this game would not be easy, so he jogged to the front court with his head buried, and opened his position outside the three-point line on the right.

Xu Tian dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, observed the Cavaliers' defensive layout at the top of the arc, saw Iman Shumpert standing in front of him, and immediately understood Coach Lu's defensive strategy.

Irving was responsible for defending Kobe, with his right hand on Kobe, and turned to look at Xu Tian who was dribbling.

Kobe has played in the league for 20 years. He seized the opportunity of Irving's distraction, turned around and passed the defense without the ball, and ran towards the penalty area.

Xu Tian has a good vision and immediately noticed Kobe's movements. He looked at George who was standing on the left, hit the ground with his right hand, and passed the ball to Kobe without looking at anyone.

Kobe received the ball and adjusted, tried to hit the basket, attracted the defense of Timofey Mozgov and Love, and passed it to Tyson Chandler under the basket.

Tyson Chandler caught the ball and scored two easy points.

2-2!

With a blank face on his face, Tyronn Lue asked Timofey Mozgov and Love in a puzzled voice, why they couldn't even block this kind of ball?

Tristan Thompson is the Cavaliers' secret weapon against the Warriors. With a height of 208 centimeters, he possesses a rare big defensive ability in the interior, and is good at grabbing offensive rebounds, so he has a good tactical position.It's just that Tyronn Lue didn't let him start in order to increase the height of the inside line, but instead used Timofey Mozgov.

Frustrated, Timofey Mozgov ran to the frontcourt in silence, playing a pick-and-roll with James at the top of the arc.

James broke through the screen and wanted to go straight to the basket from the right, but found that Xu Tian had already defended in place and blocked his breakthrough route.

Xu Tian's center of gravity dropped very low, his figure was quite stable, and he gave a little space for attacking, without giving James a chance to break through.

James' physical talent is among the top in history, but his shooting ability is not enough to let him be constrained, and the pressure of defense cannot always be sustained.

Xu Tian exerted a physical confrontation to prevent James from accelerating, forcing him to retreat to the top of the arc.

Love plays the fourth position in the space in the Cavaliers system. To put it bluntly, he wants to clear the penalty area, stand outside the left three-point line, and prepare to receive the ball.

James dribbled the ball until there were 3 seconds left in the attack time. Seeing that he couldn't break through, he passed the ball to Love.

Love can see the countdown to the offense, and he doesn't have much choice. He just pulls up and shoots a three-pointer!

Except for professional shooters, any player needs to hold the ball to find his status, especially for players like Love who used to play the core style.The first shot, the iron ended.

Tyson Chandler was not as strong as Timofey Mozgov in the lower plate. He was better at bounce speed and bounce, and he slapped the rebound to Nance Jr. near the penalty area.

Nance Jr. held the ball with both hands, and waited for all the Cavaliers to retreat to the frontcourt before passing the ball to Xu Tian who was waiting in the backcourt.

Xu Tian suddenly began to accelerate while dribbling, causing Iman Shumpert to overreact and immediately gave up half a step.

Tai Lue realized that it was not good, but unfortunately he couldn't replace the players to defend, so he could only accept the upcoming scene.

Xu Tian made an emergency stop at the top of the arc, took a step outside the three-point line, and unsheathed the killing sword!

George turned around early to celebrate!

5-2!

Some fans in the Quicken Loans Center, wearing Zijin jerseys, shouted excitedly when they saw Xu Tian hit a three-pointer.This abrupt sound caught the attention of Cavaliers fans.

Lakers fans try to keep their voices down to avoid hostility.

Tyronn Lue quickly called a timeout, adjusted the lineup, and tried to block the Lakers.
