Chapter 342 The sense of urgency
With 1 minute and 56 seconds left in overtime, players from both sides returned to the court to execute the scrum between James and Xu Tian.
James and Xu Tian didn't communicate much before. After seeing Xu Tian's strength, James recognized the young man from the East and said, "You don't want to take victory away from Cleveland!"
Xu Tian took out the braces with his right hand, and responded: "The result of the game is the story!" After finishing speaking, he put the braces on, and stood next to James according to the referee's instructions, ready to compete for the ball.
James is more physically gifted than Xu Tianchun, took off quickly, and gave the racket to Irving who was standing on the center line.
The Lakers' defense was in place quickly, and everyone defended their respective players and tried their best to defend.
George and James are still the players with the largest confrontation scale on the field, and the sound of muscle collision is clearly audible.
The fighting spirit of the Lakers players was stimulated, and they all lowered their focus to the lowest level, and tried their best to defend the Cavaliers' offense.
In addition to being affected by the system, defense is also greatly affected by attitude. In addition, the Lakers players have good defensive ability, which basically limits the Cavaliers' outside players.
Owen couldn't break through Xu Tian's defense, lobbed the ball, and passed it to Love who was on the inside.
McGee's strength in the lower plate is unstable, and it is a very smart move to let him sit on the inside. Coupled with Love's excellent passing ability, he can naturally avoid some double-team defenses.
Love played back singles, using a slightly lower strength than before, crushing McGee who was defending behind him.
McGee's defensive habits are not good enough, and he was easily picked up by Love and fouled.
The referee whistled, and Love stepped to the free throw line.
Xu Tian was not far from the penalty area, and walked over to give McGee a high-five, indicating that he had no problem defending the ball.
Scott has his own judgment. Seeing the Cavaliers adjust their offensive tactics, he quickly replaced Tyson Chandler, who has a better sense of defensive position, to play in the final stage.
Tyronn Lue didn't make any adjustments, expecting James to play at critical moments.
Alice watched the game nervously, not noticing that it was past midnight.
Boss Jin also became more and more excited the more he watched. In order not to disturb his wife, he silently shouted in his heart to cheer for the Lakers.
Love made two free throws!
Lakers 124-126 Cavaliers, 1 minute and 39 seconds left!
The shouts of "defense" resounded again in the Quicken Loans Center arena!
Xu Tian dribbled the ball slowly across half court, stood near the center line, and observed the Cavaliers' defensive layout.
Dellavedova lost confidence after being beaten by Xu Tian, but he is a defensive engineer. If he doesn't even have a defensive attitude, it will be difficult for him to stay on the court.He has to do his best to make a living.
The NBA is cruel. Not every player can get a lot of opportunities, and more people need to work hard for their jobs.This is the helplessness of marginal players and rotation players, and it is also the reason why they value big contracts more.
Xu Tian will not pity anyone on the court. From his point of view, players are obliged to do their best when they step on this world-renowned stadium. Even if they are beaten to pieces by their opponents, they must leave the court standing up.Because of this, he showed no mercy.
Dellavedova had no enthusiasm, and his strength was much worse than Xu Tian's in confrontation, so he was easily squeezed away.
Tai Lunlu bit his lower lip, completely helpless.He can't do anything about the problems that the teams in the league have not been able to overcome.
Xu Tian is an MVP contender, and there are basically no restrictions.
Both James and Tristan Thompson made up for it, but they could only watch Xu Tian jump up high and make a mid-range shot.
The scale of whistleblowing at critical moments will be relaxed, the defensive actions in the penalty area will become larger, and it will be more difficult for players who rely on breakthroughs to score points.This is one of the reasons why James is used to passing the ball to his teammates.
Xu Tian's shooting ability is top-notch, and he doesn't need to worry about any defense at all!
BANG!
126-126!
Mike Breen explained the goal with classic commentary, and at the same time said excitedly: "Xu Tian is omnipotent on this court! He is like a magician from another dimension, and he has always only allowed us to indulge in it." His performance never explains why he has such charm. One thing we can be sure of is that the King of Los Angeles has a new name from now on!"
Kobe and Xu Tian clapped hands, quickly dispersed, and continued to implement the defensive strategy.
James looked at the time, went to the top of the arc to catch the ball, faced George's defense, and looked for a breakthrough space.
During the Heat period, James would use post-up singles, but after returning to the Cavaliers, he gradually abandoned this technique and returned to relying on face-up techniques, and his offensive ability declined.However, the Cavaliers have Irving who can play key shots, which conceals this.
James tried twice, failed to break through George's defense, and passed the ball to Irving.
Kobe was not far from James and shouted at him: "LeBron, you don't pass the ball anymore, you should attack at this time."
James smiled at Kobe and stood at the top of the arc to watch Irving play singles.
Xu Tian once studied James and believed that he has top physical talent and basketball IQ, but his career was too smooth, and he was not trained by a famous coach who could suppress him, resulting in immature skills and habits on both offensive and defensive ends.
During the Heat, Spoelstra was supported by Pat Riley, coupled with the urging of his friend Wade, James showed abnormal dominance on both offense and defense.But James thinks that style of play will damage his career. After returning to the Cavaliers, he lost weight and gradually gave up post-up singles, which made him a little bit worse than when he was in the Heat.
Closer to home, facing Xu Tian's defense, Owen dribbled and changed direction continuously, finally swaying the small space, pulling up confidently, and making difficult shots.
Xu Tian's defense was in place, but he still couldn't block Irving, and he made the shot.
126-128!
Shocking cheers erupted in the Quicken Loans Center arena, applauding their main point guard.The goal was scored against Xu Tian, which boosted morale.
Xu Tian was not affected at all, but became more excited. His physical fatigue passed the critical point, and he began to feel relaxed.
Dellavedova stared at Xu Tian's expression, trying to find his weakness, but he found that he couldn't see through this young man at all.
Xu Tian bent over to dribble, suddenly accelerated the dribbling rhythm, exerted strength with both feet, and passed Dellavedova with explosive power.
Tristan Thompson was mostly in charge of the defense, fearlessly waiting in the paint and trying to block shots.
Xu Tian is best at destroying the opponent's aura, ignoring Owen and JR Smith who came to defend, turned around and quickly passed the defense line, collected the ball in the paint area and took off, straightened his right arm, and stretched his bow to the full!
Tristan Thompson knew that Xu Tian was about to buckle, but he was still unafraid, and put his hands on Xu Tian's shoulders!
The referee whistles!
The story repeats itself.Xu Tian knocked away Tristan Thompson, who weighed only 108 kilograms, grabbed the ball with his right hand and dunked violently!
2+1!
The atmosphere in the Quicken Loan Center just got up, and it was immediately suppressed!
Xu Tian ignored the boos of the away fans, clenched his fists and roared to the sky!
Both Durant and Kawhi Leonard were watching the game. They were both surprised by Xu Tian's dunk, and they couldn't help but feel a little more wary in their hearts.
