Chapter 334 Demonstration of Strength
Ten players from both sides looked at the spinning basketball in mid-air, and the players near the penalty area began to block, preparing to compete for offensive or defensive rebounds.
Basketball hollow into the net!
81-78!
James took the falling ball, slapped it vigorously with both hands, and then handed it to Dellavedova standing beside him to serve from the baseline.
The most commendable thing about Dellavedova is his professional attitude. He took the ball to the baseline and sent the ball to James.
James is a top player with the ball, and his off-ball level is much inferior. Therefore, Irving, who has a certain shooting ability, gives up the ball and moves without the ball to help James open up space.
Warcraft Howard and Antetokounmpo have both led a one-star four-shot lineup. What they have in common with James is that their shooting ability cannot be maintained at a high level every night, and they rely more on scoring near the penalty area, so they need more space.Stars with strong shooting ability do not need shooters to open up space, they can create various open opportunities for teammates.
James' breakthrough finishing ability is top-notch, and he uses his physical talent to the extreme, which is basically unstoppable.This is also the reason why he can easily score points.
George tried his best to keep James from getting up to speed, forcing him to stay on the outside of the paint area and reduce the offensive threat.
James passed the ball laterally to JR Smith who had just played.
The defensive player JR Smith faced was Nick Young. The two played in similar styles. They really played with a touch, and neither could defend the other.
Nick Young's center of gravity was not low enough, and he was easily passed by JR Smith, contributing an open opportunity.
JR Smith didn't think about which teammate to pass to, and when he had a chance, he pulled up the shot without hesitation.
Nance Jr. was under a lot of defensive pressure in the penalty area, unable to make up to the outside, so he could only turn around and get stuck, trying to prevent potential rebounds from falling into the hands of the Cavaliers.
JR Smith has no nerves tonight, with a knife, take two points lightly!
81-80!
James retreated slowly, standing inside the three-point line on the right, waiting for the Lakers players to run across the half.
Xu Tian is the absolute ball-holding point of this lineup. He came to the top of the arc slowly and observed Dellavedova's defensive movements.
Dellavedova lowered his center of gravity and did not post it immediately, but was also observing Xu Tian to find the best defensive strategy.
Xu Tian has solid basic skills in dribbling, exceptional strength, skillful rhythm transition, and more importantly, top-level court vision and shooting ability.Such a versatile skill gave Dellavedova a real headache, and he couldn't think of which aspect to limit.
The Lakers have always had the problem of taking the lead easily, which is related to the team's temperament, but since Xu Tian came to the team, this phenomenon has decreased a lot.Not for anything else, just because Xu Tian has stricter requirements than Kobe.
Nance Jr. mentioned the top of the arc, stood on both feet, and blocked Dellavedova firmly.
Dellavedova's defensive enthusiasm was too high, and when he grabbed the screen, he moved a bit too much, and received a warning off-ball foul from the referee.
The Lakers serve the frontcourt.
Nance Jr. walked to the sideline, caught the ball from the referee, found Xu Tian who had reached the top of the arc, and then ran into the court.
Iman Shumpert is currently backed by four fouls and is basically unable to play in the third quarter. He has been paying attention to the statistics sheet to see how far Xu Tian is from 50 points.
Xu Tian dribbled the ball horizontally at the top of the arc, and started to break through unexpectedly. After deceiving Dellavedova, he stepped back to outside the three-point line, made a three-pointer, and shot confidently.
George added shooting training, he can more or less predict whether the ball will go in, turn around in advance, and celebrate with open arms.
Stan Van Gundy saw George's early celebration, and he didn't forget to tease Mark Jackson sitting next to him: "Mark, Andrew Bogut of the Golden State Warriors often turns around and celebrates early like Paul George. That should have been your coaching ball." team, and now it belongs to Steve Kerr."
Americans have a good self-deprecating spirit, and rarely turn their faces because of words, and responded with a smile: "Stephen and Clay played well under Steve Kerr. It can be said that Bob Myers made the right move. Decide."
James dribbled the ball to the frontcourt and looked at the score. The Lakers 84-80 Cavaliers, with 5 minutes and 21 seconds left in the third quarter.
The player Xu Tian is defending is Irving, who is the second most stable scoring point for the Cavaliers, even more threatening than James.
Seeing that his teammates couldn't run out of opportunities, James dribbled back from the top of the arc and reorganized the team's offense.
Owen and Xu Tian fought hard.
After all, Irving was weaker and failed to find the offensive space. He also retreated beyond the three-point line, seeking another opportunity to run.
James crossed the ball and gave it to Irving who came out.
Owen didn't have time to think too much, fearing Xu Tian's stealing ability, he directly shot a three-pointer.
The arc of the basketball was specially heightened, passed over Xu Tian, who jumped well, and spun into the air.
The Cavaliers are one big and four small, and Tristan Thompson is stuck inside, ready to compete for offensive rebounds.
Irving's ability to become an All-Star player is entirely due to his offensive ability and touch, which is also unstoppable.
84-83!
The fans in the Speedy Loans Center arena watched the wonderful offense and defense on the court, and their blood boiled with enthusiasm, and the cheers and cheers increased a lot.
ESPN released the aerial night view of the Quicken Loans Center arena. The magnificent lighting makes the venue extremely eye-catching, which complements the bright James poster on the opposite Xuanda building.
The Cleveland Cavaliers are the greatest spiritual wealth of this small city.
Dellavedova didn't release Xu Tian this time, and took the initiative to post it up, applying physical confrontation in advance.
Xu Tian's power is a level stronger than Dellavedova's. He dribbled the ball with his back to fight, and directly crushed from the top of the arc to the free throw line.
Tai Lunlu saw that his favorite general was so miserable, but he had no choice but to watch the offense and defense continue.
Xu Tian's post-up singles was learned from Kobe, and there are many more details than what can be seen in the video tape. The connection between shoulder fakes and footsteps is smooth, easily shaking Dellavedova's center of gravity.
Dellavedova fought hard, trying to use his strength to stop Xu Tian from getting up, but unfortunately it failed.
Xu Tian ignores Dellavedova, who is gifted with crushing fadeaway shots and easily mid-range.
86-83!
Kobe couldn't help being a little envious when he thought he couldn't shoot as smoothly as Xu Tian when he was young.
Dellavedova clapped his hands angrily, moved to the front court without the ball, and continued to open up the court space conscientiously.
James is the boss of the Cavaliers. Seeing Xu Tian's performance, he accelerated while holding the ball and pushed forward with the ball, and the audience counterattacked one-stop.
James, who rushed up, couldn't stop him at all.
The penalty area guarded by Nance Jr. was even more unable to form a delay, and James completed a powerful dunk!
86-85!
The cheers from the Quicken Loans Arena shook the night sky.
Xu Tian was quite calm, received the serve from the backcourt, and just after halftime, he sent a logo shot, which shocked everyone!
