Chapter 594

By this time, the fire that the Cavaliers were simmering in their hearts had basically been extinguished by waves of offensives by the Lakers.Back in the game, the Cavaliers served from the backcourt, Hill took the ball to the frontcourt and passed the ball to James.James held the ball and called Love to help with the pick-and-roll, and then began to kill the inside of the Lakers. Solomon Hill quickly blocked James' left hand, so that James could only go to the right. After taking two steps inward, James suddenly An emergency stop threw the ball, the basketball bounced out after hitting the front of the basket, Gasol took the main position and Ye Xuan successfully received the backcourt rebound, Ye Xuan also had more rebounds in this game With 5 points, plus the 27 points and 6 assists scored in the first half, Ye Xuan might have a chance to get a super triple-double in this game.

After grabbing the rebound from the backcourt, Ye Xuan immediately rushed towards the opponent's half court with full power. George Hill and Owen immediately returned to the defense, but Ye Xuan who charged was also very powerful. After a sharp change of direction to pass Owen, Ye Xuan continued to head towards the opponent's basket. There was only one George Hill in front of him, and he used his speed and body to forcibly run over George. -Hill, Ye Xuan went to the basket in two steps and sent the ball into the basket with a layup.

After that, the Lakers once again restricted the Cavaliers' offense on the defensive end. James' breakthrough scored to find Irving, but Irving's shot eventually missed the basket. Not good news for them.

The rebound was accepted by Ye Xuan again, this time Ye Xuan still wanted to make a fast break, but with the experience of the last round, the Cavaliers retreated very quickly, and did not give the Lakers a chance to play a fast break , Ye Xuan can only suppress the tempo, and then slowly look for opportunities. In the end, Ye Xuan did not find a chance to pass the ball to his teammates to attack the basket in this attack, so he could only force a single play by himself, but faced with a double-team force shot. In the end, it could only end with a strike. The Cavaliers' Love grabbed the backcourt rebound and immediately launched a long pass and fast break. Irving took the lead and ran in front of all the players.

After receiving Love's long pass, Irving went to the basket in two steps and was about to send the ball into the basket with a layup, but at this moment Ye Xuan made a sudden kill, and a big block blocked Owen's layup directly. Cap on the backboard.After landing, the basketball was accepted by Solomon Hill behind him, and in an instant it became a quick counterattack by the Lakers.Fortunately, the fast break just now was carried out by Irving alone, so after the Lakers came to the frontcourt, the rest of the Cavaliers had basically settled down and started to defend. Hill also had to suppress the rhythm and wait for the backcourt to finish. After blocking the shot, Ye Xuan, who collided with Owen, went to the frontcourt to attack again.

Ye Xuan was relatively friendly after he blocked the shot. He didn't make any provocative actions against Irving, but he wouldn't be as kind as he was in the regular season to pull Irving up. After all, in the NBA, the playoffs are equal to It's a war, and the finals with no sparks like the Cavaliers are rare enough. If I try to pull the opponent out again, my fans will probably turn against me.

So Ye Xuan got up and ran to the frontcourt immediately. After being capped, Irving took a breath on the ground before getting up, but this pause gave the Lakers a five-on-four frontcourt. Opportunity, after Ye Xuan came to the frontcourt, he immediately asked for the ball from Solomon Hill, then forced a breakthrough inside, and then after attracting double-teaming from the opponent, he passed the ball to Gasol on the outside, Gasol Catch the ball and shoot a three-pointer directly, and hit a three-pointer. At this time, the Cavaliers are already showing signs of collapse. Being counterattacked by opponents in succession has indeed caused some problems in the Cavaliers' mentality, so Tyronn Lue Also immediately called a timeout, hoping to adjust the player's state, and by the way, give James some time to rest.

After the timeout ended, the Cavaliers also adjusted their state. In the next round, they finally used the ball after the pick-and-roll to give Irving a shot near the free throw line. Irving made a mid-range shot from the free throw line, helping the Cavaliers Got two points back.

The Lakers served from the backcourt. After Ye Xuan took control of the ball and came to the frontcourt, he lobbed the ball to Gasol on the inside. After receiving the ball, Gasol made a gesture to back Tristan Thompson, which immediately attracted Irving to go. Double-teaming, Gasol sent the ball outside and directly handed it over to Solomon Hill. Ye Xuan, who was free, received the ball for half a second before making a shot. He steadily made the three-pointer, which relieved the pressure on the Lakers, and quietly pushed the Lakers' lead The advantage expanded to 6 points.

Since then, the Cavaliers' offense has started to make mistakes again. James made a breakthrough in the frontcourt, and George Hill, who was running, made a mistake, and was intercepted by Ye Xuan on the side. Mali headed towards the opponent's basket. This time, there was no Irving and George Hill on the fast break to slow down Ye Xuan's pace. Although James started chasing after the pass was cut off, he still couldn't stop Ye Xuan from going to the basket. This fast break scored.

The Lakers have already led their opponents by 8 points at this time. You must know that in the first half, the Cavaliers, who were in even more explosive form, were playing against the Lakers. Now the game is less than halfway through the third quarter. It has been completely reversed, and I have to say that the Cavaliers' performance in the third quarter was a bit too bad.

In the next few rounds, the Cavaliers began to adopt defensive tactics without thinking about the problem of hitting the ball fast. This is indeed a way to improve their offensive success rate, but although this reduces their Their own mistakes, but also made their best quick counterattack useless.In the next few minutes, due to the opponent's defense and the rhythm being suppressed, the Lakers only scored 8 points in total. Among the 8 points, 6 points came from Ye Xuan and Wade. A breakthrough foul, and thus get a free throw.And the Cavaliers didn't get any opportunities to chase points, only 7 points in total, except for the two plus one that Lao Zhan forced to score, it was basically the movement of positional battles, plus fouls after passing the ball.All of a sudden the game became dull.

At this time, the two teams began to adjust personnel. The Cavaliers still replaced Korver and Richard Jefferson, and TT and George Hill were replaced.But the Lakers are different. Now they lead by nine points, and the opponent's condition seems to be a bit bad, so Walton boldly replaced all four players except Ye Xuan, and replaced them with Speights. Randle, Nick Young and Clarkson.

Randall played very aggrieved in this playoffs. From the beginning of the regular season, a new coach took office, and now he can be said to be driving high and low. At the beginning, he was regarded as the core insider of the Lakers. He was cultivated, but now, he is directly pressed on the bench and has no chance to play at all. All this is caused by his poor performance in the playoffs. I don't know if it's because of too much pressure or some other reason. Almost all kinds of sleepwalking, his performance in no game is above the team's average level. This makes Walton gradually lose his patience with him. He came up only because the team directly replaced Larry Nance Jr. and Gasol at the same time.

The game continued, and the Lakers' style of play suddenly changed after a large-scale substitution. Originally, Wade and Larry Nance Jr. would not shoot three-pointers in that lineup, but in this lineup , all five of them have the ability to shoot three-pointers, even Randall has practiced three-pointers, but his shooting percentage is only [-]-[-] of that of Wade, which belongs to the middle and lower levels of the team, but At least in the position of power forward, this three-point shooting rate is barely enough.

This change in style of play forced the Cavaliers to expand their defensive formation. As a result, Ye Xuan and Clarkson had room to break through. The team's defensive formation was completely messed up by Ye Xuan and Clarkson. In the end, I don't know how they switched defenses. They turned into Irving defending Randall inside. Now Ye Xuan won't give Irving any face. He passed the ball to Randall, and Randall also knew that this ball was an opportunity to prove himself, so he immediately sank down and hit Owen with his back. After knocking Owen away twice, he turned around and hit the ball easily.

But looking back, it may be because after the personnel adjustment, the offense of the two teams has improved slightly, so when the Cavaliers came up, Love cut inside after the pick-and-roll, and then hit an alley-oop from James, but the Lakers The team also responded immediately, and Clarkson hit a three-pointer against James' defense from the outside.

After this three-pointer, the shooting sights of the two teams seemed to be back to normal, and they hit four more three-pointers one after another. Ye Xuan also scored three points and one assist, and James also sent out a goal. Assist and then hit a three-pointer himself.The two teams finally started to show their strengths, and the atmosphere in the arena was gradually lifted. Amidst the cheers and boos of the audience, the players on the field also began to show their housekeeping skills come out.

The game continued. Ye Xuan took the basketball from Speights and began to dribble forward. After reaching the front court, Randall immediately raised the high position to help Ye Xuan perform a pick-and-roll. Ye Xuan immediately took the opportunity to get rid of it. Richard Jefferson's defense, bypassing Randle, accelerated toward the Cavaliers' basket.At the same time, James and Love, the two generals of the Cavaliers, moved quickly to block Ye Xuan's progress.

After Ye Xuan was stopped, he sighed secretly in his heart, "Although the opponent is now focusing on attacking, the strength of defense has not dropped at all!" With a shake, the basketball quickly flew towards Clarkson who was standing outside the three-point line.Although James immediately turned his head back to defend, Clarkson still hit the key three-pointer steadily, helping the Lakers expand the point difference to 11 points. This is the first time the point difference between the two teams has reached two number.

Fans at the Staples Arena also began to cheer for the Lakers. The Cavaliers served from the backcourt. James directly took over the responsibility of controlling the ball. After slowly pushing the ball to the frontcourt, James also waved for Love. After the pick-and-roll, James took advantage of the situation and swiped inward, directly passing Clarkson and Randall who switched defenses at the same time, and then hit a jumper near the free throw line as a response.

Although this shot did have a certain impact on the Lakers' scoring momentum, it did not stop the Lakers from trying to win. The Lakers launched an attack again. The basketball was passed to Clarkson. James was still very afraid of Clarkson's shooting. After all, the opponent felt very good today, so he immediately stuck to Clarkson and tried his best to suppress Clarkson's shooting space. This defensive method is a bit too single, Clarkson received the ball back, then suddenly accelerated, and began to break through James' defense.

James' defense can not only rely on speed to break through. After the physical contact, Clarkson himself was knocked a little upside down. Fortunately, the movement of his hands did not stop, and he quickly passed the ball to Ye Xuan, but this The intention of passing the ball was a bit too obvious, and Irving rushed out from the side to intercept the ball, and then Irving started a fast break.

I don't know if it's because of Ye Xuan's big hat just now that Irving has a psychological shadow, so when the fast break was near the Lakers' three-point line, Irving actually chose to pass the ball, but fortunately, the rationale for keeping up Chad Jefferson didn't have so many worries, and hit the ball directly with a three-step layup.

This ball did give the Cavaliers a little breathing time, but it can only be said to be a little breathing, because the Lakers' offense immediately made a comeback, and this time Clarkson did not continue to single out James. Instead, he obediently handed the ball into Ye Xuan's hands. Ye Xuan held the ball and faced Richard Jefferson decisively and chose to break through. He pointed Jefferson up, and then Ye Xuan slammed into Jefferson lightly, pushed the basketball in his hand towards the basket, and the whistle sounded at the right time.
