Chapter 589
After Ye Xuan hit this three-pointer, the morale of the Cavaliers was hit again, and what hit them even more was their next fourth mistake. Lao Zhan controlled the ball and broke through. The ball was sent from the gap to the hand of Love, who was going down. As a result, Love lost his hand again, and the ball was dropped again. Solomon Hill, who was beside Love, would not give the opponent a chance to make amends. The ball was held in his arms, and then a super long-distance pass came directly, and the ball was sent to the frontcourt.In an instant, the basketball court turned into a sprint competition. Ye Xuan was on par with Wade and Owen in terms of speed, but in terms of hard work, Ye Xuan was better. When he was close to the basketball, although his position was almost equal to that of Owen. , but he used a pounce to complete the catch. After falling to the ground, Ye Xuan didn't let the ball stop. He sent it to the side, and Wade got Ye Xuan's pass again.

This is the third time that Ye Xuan has cooperated with Wade in the fast break, and Wade will not disappoint Ye Xuan's pass, and easily completed the attack with a one-handed dunk again. At the same time, the Cavaliers There was also a bit of an explosion. In less than 4 minutes, the Cavaliers had already made four turnovers. These four turnovers directly caused the Cavaliers to fall behind by only 9 points to [-] points. Even the commentator at the scene taunted, saying that the Cavaliers had changed their name to the Cleveland Turnovers.

In the next two minutes or so, the Cavaliers finally found the rhythm of the game, and finally found some sense on the offensive end. At least there were no more serious mistakes. This liberated Love, two points In a few minutes, he hit a shot on the inside and outside, and scored a precious five points.And Owen finally played some blood when facing Ye Xuan's defense, using the acceleration after the pick-and-roll to force a breakthrough, causing Ye Xuan's defensive foul.At any rate, the Cavaliers have stabilized the score at around five points.

The first quarter of the game basically ended like this. The Lakers entered the intermission with a 6-point lead. The substitutions of the two teams were also very interesting. The Lakers boldly replaced all the Big Three. Among them, Gasol may even be able to get a rest time of up to half a quarter of the game. Wade is also treated in the same way. In the first quarter, Wade scored 11 points, which is the team's highest score. The only player who scored more than 10 points in a single quarter, although 6 of them came from Ye Xuan's pass during the fast break, but this also shows that Wade's insight is very good, and he can always meet Ye Xuan when he needs him. Time to run to the right position to catch the ball.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Lakers directly let Randall, Clarkson, Nick Young, Matt Barnes and Speights play. The core of these five players is naturally Clarkson. I am still very optimistic about Clarkson's future. Although he is now being cultivated as the next Crawford, he is still young after all. Who knows what he will grow into in the future?And this lineup is actually not very scientific, because the five players on the field do not have a pure point guard. Fortunately, both Clarkson and Nick Young can take on the important task of dribbling the ball across the half court, so it is barely not bad.

The substitutions on the Cavaliers side seemed a little stiff. Deron Williams was replaced first, followed by George Hill. James was also on the field at this time, and Richard -Jefferson and Channing Frye, these five people are not good at protecting the inside line. Although Randall and Speights are on the inside of the Lakers now, they can still protect the Cavaliers. Insiders cause a lot of trouble.And the bigger problem is that coach Tai Nenglu put both Deron Williams and George Hill on the court, for fear that the team's ability to organize offense will not be the same, but don't forget, he is still Executing his 'hand the ball to LeBron' tactic, James, a player who needs absolute possession of the ball, still stays on the court, one ball, three ball-handlers?This is not enough for them to play. Although George Hill has gradually adapted to playing off the ball in the last year of the Pacers, and he mostly played off the ball when he came to the Cavaliers, but Deron is different. , without the ball in his hands, his effectiveness has dropped by at least 70.00%.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Lakers attacked with the ball. Clarkson faced Lao Zhan with the ball. With the strength of his body, when he rushed inward, he bumped upwards, not only did not knock Lao Zhan away, but also knocked himself a stagger. If he hadn't passed the ball to Speights in time, he might have been caught. The opponent steals the ball.

After Speights received the ball, he handled the ball very cleverly. Taking advantage of Frye's poor defense, he had to forcibly attack the opponent's inside line. The Cavaliers quickly double-teamed him, and Speights He also passed the ball immediately, and Nick Young caught the ball and made a decisive shot. Except for Ye Xuan, no one on the Lakers can hit a three-pointer today, and Nick Young has not been able to break this curse. .

The backcourt rebound was caught by Lao Zhan, and he was about to go down for a fast break. At this time, Matt Barnes showed his strengths and directly led the defense against James, not afraid of physical exertion. Like a mad dog, he interfered with James' possession of the ball. Fortunately, there were still two other ball control players on the opponent's court, so Lao Zhan didn't stick to the ball and passed the ball directly to Deron.

After coming to the frontcourt, Deron immediately passed the ball back to Lao Zhan. After receiving the ball, Lao Zhan quickly started to move towards the opponent's inside line, but this time he failed to hit the ball, and he didn't even have a chance to make a shot. The ball was forcibly cut off by Matt Barnes, the basketball flew out of the baseline, and the Cavaliers had the ball.

After sending the ball, Lao Zhan chose to force a breakthrough again. When he made the shot, Lao Zhan's body was already a little distorted, but he still threw the ball in steadily. Barnes saw that Lao Zhan hit the ball , also showing a helpless expression, after all, he has already defended the ball well enough.

The two teams played back and forth like this for another 2 minutes. The Lakers then replaced Ye Xuan when the opponent fouled. The replacement was Nick Young, who played poorly. The spell of the three-pointer was still not broken within 2 minutes. Yang Shaoxia and Clarkson each tried a three-pointer again, but both ended in iron strikes, and the 6-point lead was gradually eroded.

However, the Cavaliers also made personnel adjustments, replacing Irving, and Tristan Thompson was replaced at the same time, and Deron, who was not performing well, and Deron, who had played consecutively, were replaced. Lao Zhan watched for nearly 15 minutes.The Cavaliers without James can only rely on George Hill and Irving to support them, but it is obvious that Irving cannot drive the entire Cavaliers' bench. Under the leadership of Ye Xuan, the Lakers quickly found The rhythm of the offense was slowed down. Lao Zhan was replaced for only 1 minute, and the Lakers once again opened the point difference to 6 points. Irving made two shots and made zero shots under Ye Xuan's defense. In addition, the Cavaliers The offensive firepower of this lineup is very single, so they didn't score at all in this 1 minute.

So after playing for a while, the Cavaliers immediately called a timeout. After the timeout came back, the Cavaliers replaced James again. At this time, James had only rested for more than a minute. It seems that if the game has been deadlocked If not, James' playing time in this game will break 40 again.However, although the Cavaliers replaced James, the situation was just a [-]-[-] match with the Lakers with Ye Xuan present. In fact, this is where the Lakers currently have the most advantage in the playoffs. Other teams Most of the time in the playoffs is a rotation of eight to ten players, but the Cavaliers are a little different. Although there are also eight to nine players who can play, Deron's playing time is very short, plus money Ning Frye can only get a very short playing time, so they seem to have a rotation of nine players, but actually the playing time is concentrated on six or seven people.

And even if they put Channing Frye, who was not often used in the playoffs, on the court, their manpower is still not enough. James Jones, who usually doesn't have much chance to play, has to be in the game. When it reaches a certain point, he will come off the bench and play for a period of time.

The Lakers are also aware of this point, not very eager to end the game in the first three quarters, but to carry out regular rotation, and let multiple people take turns to contain James, the core of the Cavaliers, the tone of the second quarter is very obvious , The Lakers began to fight a war of attrition, and the Cavaliers' offense suddenly fell into a quagmire. Originally, their outside firepower was still very good, but under the strict defense of the Lakers, their success rate of breakthroughs dropped significantly. In the entire lineup that appeared on the field, only Irving's breakthrough ability is relatively good, and he is still under Ye Xuan's strict defense. Channing Frye is a spot-up shooter, but today his sight is a bit off. In addition, Tristan Thompson's attack range is not very large, so after James is off the court, the Cavaliers can only bet on the outside for three-pointers. Forced to be replaced early.

In the middle of the second quarter, the Lakers replaced the main players. After feeling cold for a quarter and a half, the Lakers finally found some feeling from the outside line. After Gasol was replaced, he hit an open spot steadily. This ball seemed to break the curse of the Lakers' three-pointers. In the next few attacks, Wade and Solomon Hill also hit three-pointers, and Ye Xuan broke through again and caused Tristan Thompson's foul immediately opened up the situation on the scene. The Cavaliers' offense is like squeezing toothpaste. If Lao Zhan works hard, he can move forward. If Lao Zhan is tired, Then everyone stays put.

Irving, the second-in-command, and Love, the third-in-command, have absolutely no intention of standing up to dominate the game. Although everyone has two outside All-Stars and one inside All-Star on paper, when they really fight, the Lakers will win. I feel that the opponent is only James. Although they have no way to guard against James, but when people are always tired, as long as Lao Zhan feels tired, the Lakers will take the opportunity to continue to widen the point difference. was eaten by the Lakers.

Fortunately, it was the first half at this time, and Lao Zhan's physical strength was still sufficient. In this quarter of the game, James still broke out a little bit. When the second quarter lasted for more than 8 minutes, James suddenly began to hold the ball continuously. The ball attack, first hit a dry three-pointer from the outside, and then forcibly broke through Solomon Hill for two consecutive rounds and then hit the ball. One of the balls was still fouled by Randall, and the whole person was in the air He scored while hanging on his body. This kind of physical explosiveness also shocked Ye Xuan next to him, but it is a pity that this kind of play consumes too much energy, even for a strong man like James. After several consecutive rounds of outbreaks, he also began to feel a little overwhelmed.

After resisting this wave of counterattacks from Lao Zhan, the Lakers once again used the overall cooperation and Ye Xuan's personal ability to gradually let the balance of victory slowly tilt to their side. In the last minute, the Lakers had unknowingly extended their lead to 1 points. Originally, they narrowed the point difference to only one point shortly after the start of the second quarter. However, due to insufficient outside firepower, In addition, the mental outlook of the players was not very good, so in the end they sent back the recovered score.

In the last minute, Lao Zhan breathed a sigh of relief again, ready to look for opportunities again, and use his personal ability to play a wave of chasing points, but this time the Lakers have already taken precautions against him. The ball needs to be played in singles, and the Lakers decisively choose to double-team. Even if Irving and Love are allowed to shoot, James will not be given a chance to play in singles. This makes Lao Zhan very uncomfortable, but his passing vision is still good Yes, two consecutive offenses sent the ball to open teammates when facing double-teaming, but the two passes were not very effective. One time the ball was sent to TT who had no shooting ability. TT could only stand and wait for Lao Zhan to come back to catch the ball and reorganize. Another time he sent the ball to Love. Love turned around and failed to hit the hook. As a result, the Cavaliers wanted to chase points in the last minute In the end, they could only rely on free throws to score one point. Instead, the Lakers made another three-pointer, widening the point difference to 1 points.
