Chapter 521
Everyone felt that the Cavaliers would be swept away.Even their opponent, the Thunder, thought so.Whether it is strength or momentum, the Cavaliers have no hope of winning the next game.
But things never go the way everyone expects.Even if everyone is not optimistic about them, the Cavaliers themselves did not give up.Especially James, in the fourth game, he practiced his words after the last game with practical actions.
"The game is not over yet!"
At the beginning, the Thunder did show an indomitable momentum.They led each other by 12 points at the most in the first half.But the problem is that this time, the Cavaliers played a very explosive offense in the third quarter.They used what the Thunder are best at to hit a wave of offensive climax.
It is not James who leads this wave of offense, but JR.It seemed that the previous sluggish performance was accumulating energy for this outbreak.
In fact, in the second quarter of the game, JR's state improved.The Thunder took the biggest lead of the game 3 minutes before the end of the second quarter.Subsequently, Donovan replaced Paul George and Adams, who had never rested.This change forced An Luo to focus more on the defensive end.Brewer is unable to restrain James.Donovan can only ask An Luo to keep an eye out and actively assist in the defense.
Under such circumstances, JR is freed.An Luo's defense is indeed good, but two fists are no match for four hands.In contrast, James is more worthy of being defended anyway.
James also understood this situation, and he simply acted as a wingman for JR.Donovan and An Luo also knew what kind of situation they would encounter, but when James took the ball to the top of the arc, An Luo still assisted in the defense.They originally wanted to use their excellent defense to defend JR, but Nance Jr. stood up.He provided JR with a cover outside the three-point line, allowing JR to get a chance to get rid of the defense.
Of course, the key to all this is still at the last moment. Whether JR can make the ball is the decisive factor for whether this series of actions is worthwhile.If you look at the opponent's performance in the previous few games, the Thunder can rest assured.But things happened unexpectedly. JR bypassed his teammate Love, and after receiving a pass from James, he pulled it up directly, raised his hand and dropped it, and scored a three-pointer!
Very decisive!James gave decisiveness, and JR shot more decisively.After the ball was scored, the two clapped silently while retreating.This situation is like going back to two years ago.
Switching to the Thunder's offensive round, Westbrook took the ball beyond the three-point line and went to the basket under the cover of Adams. TT and Love shrank in quickly, leaving Westbrook with very little room for a layup.But for Westbrook, once he wants to score a layup, even if there is no space, there is no way to stop him.Just like this attack, he didn't give up his idea of attacking because of the contraction of TT and Love.
Love is slightly ahead of TT.So he is the first ring to stop Westbrook's offense this time.He saw his old classmate rushing towards him, so he stood up in advance, separated his legs slightly, and raised his hands high.With his height and wingspan, the area covered is not small.But it still didn't let Westbrook stop himself.
Westbrook rushed to the right, and when he was about to hit Love, his body changed direction instantly, his right foot kicked hard on the ground, and the whole person was pulled to the left all at once.At the same time, Westbrook's right hand, which has been holding the ball, pockets the basketball from behind, bypassing Love quite easily.
After passing Love, there is another TT.However, Westbrook's rhythm is very well controlled.After he pulled the ball from behind to the left, there was no pause.The left foot then kicked on the ground, and the body that had just been twisted from the right to the left suddenly twisted back to the right.It looked like a spinning top that was whipped to a corner by someone waving a whip.Westbrook flew out to the front right, changed the ball to his right hand in the air, a pull bar avoided two big hands, one black and one white, and threw the ball to the fence.The basketball took Xuan'er and turned into the basket.
This series of actions made An Luo's eyes very hot!This is the most handsome action of an NBA guard.He has had this idea more than once.He even wanted to activate his breakthrough ability immediately.Fortunately, his mind is still clear.Otherwise, he will become the next boy in Bulls jersey!However, the future is long.An Luo believes that one day he will be able to get what he wants.now!I'm envious!
If this was at the Chesapeake Energy Arena, Westbrook would definitely be greeted with deafening cheers and shouts.At Quicken Loans Arena, it's just earth-shattering booing.Of course, it takes a lot of skill to get such boos in an away game.
However, James couldn't stand it anymore.In the subsequent offense, he directly took over the offensive banner from George Hill.He launched an attack from beyond the three-point line.He moved quickly, and squeezed past Brewer before An Luo double-teamed him.Brewer hurried after him.Although James' speed is not fast, but the momentum is too strong.Seeing that there was nothing he could do, An Luo stepped back and continued to defend JR.In the end, James put the ball into the basket against Adams.
Facts have proved once again that once James rushes up, no one can stop him.Unless there is a foul, and it must be a solid foul.If you hesitate for a while, you will get points for another foul.
In the following time, the two sides began a tug of war.The Cavaliers have been trying to narrow the point difference, but they have been unable to play that kind of oppressive offense.But when the game progressed to the third quarter, the momentum that the Cavaliers had been looking forward to playing, really appeared.
When JR made the third shot from the three-point line, Donovan finally realized that something was wrong.
At the beginning, Donovan felt that JR was the same as in the second half of the second quarter, and disappeared after scoring a goal.But it is very abnormal to enter one after another.It's not that there is a problem with the Thunder's defense, it's that JR's crazy side has been activated.What is a neuroknife?Everyone knew the answer two years ago.Now, JR has once again become the imperial guard from two years ago.
Donovan decisively called a timeout.He didn't blame his players. After all, it is very common for a certain player to explode in a game.What he needs to solve is to interrupt the opponent's rhythm, and then tell his players how to get through such a predicament.
