Chapter 598 Falling behind at halftime and prelude to reversal
Wade on the side ran over, pulled up Ye Xuan who was lying on the ground and rubbed his chest, and asked about his situation. Ye Xuan was very relaxed, shrugged, and said, "I was just hit by him. That's all, it's nothing." Wade also teased at this time, "I used to be teammates with him, and being hit by him is about the same as being hit by a truck." Ye Xuan also laughed here, the moment just now The child did make me feel like I was hit by a car, but fortunately I didn't feel anything other than a little pain in my chest.

Seeing that Ye Xuan was fine, Wade went outside the court and passed the baseline ball to Ye Xuan. Ye Xuan slowly controlled the ball and walked towards the opponent's frontcourt. After arriving in the frontcourt, Ye Xuan hadn't started preparing yet. Forcibly breaking through, Wade on the side came out from the bottom line through Gasol's cover, Ye Xuan took advantage of the situation and passed the ball, Wade still played the role of one of the core of his team at this critical moment , After receiving the ball, he made a turnaround jumper and hit the ball, pulling the Lakers back from the brink of collapse.

But before the Lakers took a breather, James directly controlled the ball from the backcourt to the frontcourt, ready to make a comeback. After arriving in the frontcourt, James decisively chose to ask his teammates to open the position, and he wanted to play singles Opponents, facing the defense of Pickled Pepper, James changed hands on the crotch and directly broke through to the left. Today, James' shooting rate is indeed a bit unbelievable. This kind of difficult three-pointer still made him make it.

Jeff Van Gundy on the sidelines also began to worry about the Lakers, "The Lakers in this situation are prone to make mistakes. Although several of their team cores have already won championships in the past, they still have a lot to lose. Whether they can cope with this oppressive game atmosphere is also a problem, if they can't adjust the team atmosphere in time, they will have a lot of trouble in this game."

Mark Jackson also interjected, "Yes, I think LeBron, who has been in the league for 14 years, will have more experience in this area. He will seize these opportunities that are not easy to discover, and then crush the Lakers in one fell swoop. Yes, what the Lakers have to do now is not to think about how to recover the point difference. What they need now is to strengthen their defense, otherwise they will soon know how good LeBron is. At this time Irving and others have not yet started to play, and when LeBron brings out their firepower, the Lakers will really be in danger."

On the court, the Lakers once again attacked with the ball. Fortunately, they still feel pretty good. After rushing to the frontcourt, Ye Xuan directly attacked a three-pointer from outside the three-point line before waiting for the inside player to settle down. , be regarded as repaying the color.But their defense still had problems. The Cavaliers turned their heads and immediately passed the ball to Irving from George Hill at the top of the arc. After receiving the ball, Irving hit a super long shot on the three-point line two points.

After that, the Lakers' offense hit the iron again, and Ye Xuan failed to continue his excellent performance. This time, the shot was interfered by James and missed the basket. After Tristan Thompson grabbed the rebound, he immediately gave the ball to Irving, Irving immediately launched a fast break. Fortunately, the Lakers retreated in a relatively timely manner, so they did not give the Cavaliers any chance for a fast break. In the end, the Cavaliers also used James to break through and pass the ball to George- Hill, and the latter ended up striking iron.

Gasol grabbed the backcourt rebound, and then passed the ball to Wade. As for Ye Xuan, he had already started a fast break. Unfortunately, like a mirror defense, the Cavaliers also did not give Ye Xuan a chance to fast break. The Lakers After Wade controlled the ball to the frontcourt, the team could only start to attack again, and Ye Xuan also made another plan. He immediately called Scola to pick and roll, and then buried himself in the inside. Going in, facing Tristan Thompson who came to make up the defense, Ye Xuan rushed forward in a daze, and then caused the opponent's foul. This is Ye Xuan's idea. If he is so dead, why not use free throws that he is also good at to defeat his opponents.

With two free throws, Ye Xuan's score has reached 23 points at this time. The first half of the game is not over yet, and his assists have also reached 5. Judging from this data, today's The double-double is not a big problem. As for how many points he can score in the final game, it is hard to guess. After all, with Ye Xuan's scoring explosiveness, scoring [-] points in a quarter is not a problem.

In the next few rounds, the game between the two teams finally slowly returned to the right track, and the actions of the two teams also began to restrain themselves. The Lakers began to desperately chase points, but the Cavaliers' main lineup did not perform well. That's great, but they played well today, especially James. Ye Xuan scored more than 20 points before the first half was over, which is already very good. James also had the first half before the end. At this time He has already scored 27 points, and other statistics are equally gorgeous, with 4 assists and 5 rebounds. A triple-double in this game can basically be said to be easy to catch.

Under the superb performance of LeBron James, the Cavaliers led the way. With the last 2 minutes left in the second quarter, they still led the Lakers by 16 points.Due to being pressured by the opponent, the morale of the Lakers players also seemed a little low. On the contrary, the fans in the Quicken Loans Arena seemed much happier. At this time, they only booed occasionally when Ye Xuan made a shot. Except for a moment, other times it has become more to cheer for the Cavaliers, and after James hits the ball, the MVP shouts are also louder and louder.

Fortunately, Ye Xuan's slump didn't last long. After hitting 2 balls, Ye Xuan found his scope again. After receiving a pass from Wade in the frontcourt, Ye Xuan hit a throw. Under Gasol's pick-and-roll, he hit a long-range mid-range shot. Although the opponent also hit both offenses, the Lakers did not narrow the point difference. However, as Ye Xuan began to show off, the Lakers scored The pressure was reduced a lot in an instant, and Gasol finally hit a three-pointer in the following round, and the outside firepower the Lakers were looking forward to gradually began to awaken.

It's a pity that the first half of the game ended before the Lakers had time to seize this opportunity to further narrow the score.At the end of the first half, the Cavaliers led their opponents by 67 points 53:14 at home. In the first half, the Lakers had some advantages at the beginning, but after that technical foul, the Lakers were a little bit absent. The state, and the shooting rate of the Cavaliers is really terrible, so the Lakers have never found a chance to recover the point difference.

At halftime, Jeff Van Gundy also started his own analysis, "We can see that the Lakers played very passively in this game. Although it seems that they have been attacking all the time, they are actually behind. They were forced to attack, and the Cavaliers, I have to say that the little emperor did play his masterpiece again. At the end of the first half, he played 24 minutes and scored 28 points, 4 assists and 7 rebounds. , I think this is the data he won in one game, right?"

Mark Jackson on the side is also very dedicated, "Yes, that's right, I think the most critical point of this game is LeBron, Kyrie, and Ye. Judging from the situation in the first half, Kyrie's state is not particularly good, and although Ye played well, but relying on his own strength to fight against LeBron in this state, I think it's a bit dangling. The Lakers need Dwyane, Paul and others to stand up. Come out, although I don’t want to say it, but I think Ye can’t replace LeBron as No.1 in the league based on his performance this year.”

"I think they should make more use of Clarkson in the second half. The Cavaliers' substitutes are not a threat now. Those substitutes are all like Clarkson who can attack independently, so I think they can attack. Free Clarkson on the side, and then use the offensive firepower from the outside to break the current situation." Jeff Van Gundy expressed his opinion.

And Mark Jackson on the side was inappropriate for this. He retorted, "No, no, Jeff, don't you understand now? The Cavaliers are now going to let LeBron James play the whole game alone. Rhythm, I don't think he will be replaced in the second half, unless their lead is really enough to ensure that the game is won, you know what I'm talking about, right, they won't have an easy game Give the Lakers a chance."

The two celebrities of ESPN were bickering on the sidelines. The effect of this program was indeed very good, so the intermission time of the audience seemed to be more joyful.But the happy time is always short, and soon the third quarter will start.The Cavaliers serve from the backcourt, and Hill takes the ball to the frontcourt and passes 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 two steps inward, James suddenly An emergency stop shot the ball, the basketball bounced out after hitting the front of the basket, Gasol got stuck and Ye Xuan successfully received the backcourt rebound, and Ye Xuan's rebounds also reached 5 , it seems that he still has a chance to hit the super triple-double data in this game, but the most important thing for Ye Xuan at this time is not the data, but looking for opportunities to recover the point difference, right?

After grabbing the rebound from the backcourt, Ye Xuan immediately rushed towards the opponent's half court with full power. Owen and George Hill immediately returned to the defense, but Ye Xuan who charged was also very powerful. After a sharp change of direction to pass George Hill, Ye Xuan continued to head towards the opponent's basket, and there was only Irving left in front of him, using his speed and body to forcibly run over Owen , Ye Xuan went to the basket in two steps and was about to send the ball into the basket with a layup, but at this moment James suddenly came out, and a big cap blocked Ye Xuan's layup directly on the backboard.After landing, the basketball was accepted by Irving behind him, and in an instant it became the Cavaliers' quick counterattack.

Fortunately, the Lakers' defensive formation hasn't been aggressive yet, and Ye Xuan's return to defense after being capped is also very quick. There is no chance for the Cavaliers to counterattack. The Cavaliers can only stabilize the ball and start to organize the offense again.I don't know if it's because it's the third quarter that makes the Cavaliers feel the pressure, or because they were too relaxed during the halftime break. This time, the running position of attacking them can only be described as loose. After observing with the ball at the top of the arc for a while, he found that his teammate's running position was completely equivalent to no running position, so he could only choose to force a single play by himself, and dribbled two steps inward, against Solomon Hill's defensive player. This time the basketball did not go into the basket as expected, and finally bounced twice on the basket before falling out.

Larry Nance Jr. caught the rebound, and then immediately sent the ball to Ye Xuan. Although he had just been rewarded with a big cap by Old Zhan, he did not lose confidence because of it. On the contrary, he The round was played very resolutely, using Larry Nance Jr.'s pick-and-roll to force a breakthrough into the penalty area, and then leaning on Tristan Thompson to hit the ball.And this goal seems to have sounded the Lakers' counterattack horn.

In the next round, the Cavaliers' performance on the offensive end was still a little awkward. After James broke through and scored, Irving did not seize the opportunity to throw the ball. Instead, he seemed a little timid because of Ye Xuan's defense. An excellent offensive opportunity was lost. Fortunately, George Hill was still thinking clearly at this time, so he came over immediately to respond, and then used the time difference to catch Wade by surprise, causing Wade to foul.

George Hill walked to the free throw line. As the Cavaliers player with a free throw percentage of 80.00%. Big, but he was really cursed in the third quarter, his first free throw went directly wide, and his second free throw almost missed, the basketball hovered on the basket for a long time before sliding into the basket unwillingly in the basket.Although the results were not ideal, they still scored points. The Lakers could only serve from the bottom line in the backcourt, and they were going to try their best to recover the point difference in the next few minutes.
