Chapter 599 Recovering the Difference
The Lakers served from the backcourt. Ye Xuan slowly controlled the basketball and came to the frontcourt. The tactics deployed by the Lakers during the halftime break were very simple, that is, to grab the opponent's inside line to attack. It was not because of the opponent The internal defensive ability of the team is poor, but because according to consistent experience, their internal defense will drift in various ways in the third quarter, especially Tristan Thompson, maybe before the Lakers hit him, To put pressure on him, he will make all kinds of mistakes, so this time Ye Xuan also decisively chose to hit the inside line in singles with the ball.

After reaching the inside line, Ye Xuan faced Tristan Thompson, who came to defend him, and forcibly took off. TT's choice at this time was also incomprehensible. He actually tried to stand still and make Ye Xuan's offensive foul. The key is that he didn't Looking at the position of my feet, I obviously only had one foot inside the penalty area line. Naturally, I failed to make an offensive foul, and instead paid for a blocking foul. Ye Xuan didn't miss the job. Hit steadily and easily scored 2+1.

This goal also allowed the Lakers to further narrow the point difference, which made the Cavaliers a little panicked, but fortunately, although they were indeed in poor form in the third quarter, at least there would be no long-term scoring shortage. After all, James and Irving can be regarded as the top scorer in the league. This round is like this. James received a pass from George Hill, directly broke through two steps to the inside, and then pulled it up to make a fallback jumper. The shot hit !Generally speaking, James is rarely able to complete this kind of difficult shot, but today his touch is indeed very good, so this ball is also a steady hit.

Looking back, the Lakers launched an attack again. Ye Xuan took control of the ball and passed it to Wade. Wade's choice was very simple, just rush and it was over. After the breakthrough, the opponent's defense was attracted by him. In the past, Wade didn't make a strong move, but looked back and divided the ball again. Solomon Hill on the outside received the ball and was about to make a shot. James' defensive position hadn't lost his position, and he immediately raised his hand Wanting to block the shot, he didn't know that Solomon Hill was throwing a fake pass. He pressed his wrist and sent the ball back to Wade's hands. Solomon Hill's pass easily hit the ball, and Tristan Thompson, who was in charge of defending Wade, ran to add Sol inexplicably. At this time, he didn't participate in the attack. Sol can actually have two defensive players around him, which shows how serious TT's sleepwalking is.

And coach Tyronn Lu didn't want to get used to the stink of TT, so he called a timeout and replaced Tristan Thompson, and replaced him with Channing Frye. Zhong's performance is actually not very good, but his appearance can at least help the team clean up the inside line, thus giving James a better breakthrough space and a chance to play singles with the ball.

The game restarted and the Cavaliers served from the backcourt. After Irving controlled the ball and came to the frontcourt, he called James to help with the pick-and-roll. Defending Owen, at this time Owen looked back at the moon, and directly passed the ball back to James who was waiting outside. After James received the ball, he gestured for everyone to pull away, and then began to hit Ye Xuan with his back. Although Ye Xuan has a height of 201, his arm The development is also not bad, but it has not yet reached the level of being able to hold the back of James, who is the size of a power forward, so he was directly kicked by the little emperor from the high position to the penalty area. Larry Nance Jr. on the side intentionally double-teamed, but Channing Frye has already found a good position on the outside. As soon as Larry Nance Jr. leaves, Frye will be given an open shot, so they can only watch as James knocks Ye Xuan away a few times and then easily passes The ball is scored.

However, Ye Xuan is not a loser. Immediately in the next round of offense, he directly passed the ball to Wade on the outside, and then ran to the low post to get the ball back to hit George Hill. He was still gloating just now. This time, Hill also experienced the feeling of Ye Xuan just now. Although Ye Xuan and him were defending against each other, it is obvious that Ye Xuan's height and weight are more dominant. In addition, Ye Xuan's low-post skills and back-up skills , It was also played well by George Hill. After returning the opponent's singles, Ye Xuan still felt that it was not enough, and wanted to follow the gourd in the next round. It turned out that the Cavaliers were not fools. Love was immediately arranged to double-team, mainly because Larry Nance Jr. didn't have any three-point ability, so the Cavaliers didn't have to pull the inside line too far, and the result naturally gave them a chance to double-team.

Ye Xuan was suddenly double-teamed by his opponent, and he didn't panic in the slightest. Instead, he calmly sent the ball back to Gasol's hands, and Gasol took a step inward after receiving the ball. He handed the ball back to Ye Xuan who ran out from the inside. Ye Xuan received the basketball and continued to take two steps outside. After reaching beyond the three-point line, he turned around and pulled it up directly to make a three-point shot, defending Ye Xuan George Hill was blocked by Scola, and Ye Xuan's unguarded three-pointer was naturally a steady hit.

After hitting this three-pointer, the Lakers' trailing point difference has been reduced to 8 points. Seeing that the plot of the last game is about to be staged again, the Cavaliers also exploded with amazing personal scoring ability. Fu first showed his power, received a pass from James when he was about to reach his position in the interior, and then decisively turned around and threw the ball with a small hook before Gasol had time to double-team. Although Larry Nance Jr. is a Jumping man, but his combat power is still a little bit weak. The lack of lower body strength makes him almost have no ability to parry when facing Love's back-up singles. He can only watch his opponent hit the ball a few times middle.

The use of post-ups for several consecutive rounds also made the two commentators very happy. After all, this kind of post-ups, especially the post-ups of outside players, has gradually become popular in this era. I forgot, so after seeing the consecutive post-ups, the two commentators praised, "Did you see, this is the real basketball skill, this is the essence of basketball, post-ups with high scoring efficiency, Combining a variety of technologies, the ball is very high. Unfortunately, many of our players have gradually given up this technology in order to save trouble. Mark, to be honest, if 15 years ago, you would tell me which center was not If he can play post-ups, he may not even have a job, but now, look, as long as he can shoot three-pointers, you can find a contract."

Mark Jackson also immediately took over, "Yes, modern basketball has gradually forgotten this technology. Now many young players only think about how to practice three-pointers and how to play fancy dribbles to be cool. But no one has really focused on this practical and unsolvable technique. I don't know when Ye Xuan learned these techniques, but it seems that he used them in previous competitions, but later I don't know why I seldom use this trick, but it also makes sense. As far as his three-point shooting percentage is concerned, he is indeed qualified not to use post-up singles, but now it seems that he can't, It's just plain lazy to use it."

The two commentators were touting post-up singles in various ways, but the players on the court started to hit them in the face. After Love hit the two points of the small hook, the Lakers also immediately launched a counterattack. Sol successfully entered the penalty area under the pick-and-roll, and then gave the ball to Gasol who was waiting outside. Gasol directly threw the ball against Irving's defense and hit a three-pointer. Just said that the inside player shot a three-pointer and they It’s not worth it, and now he was slapped in the face immediately, and in the next Cavaliers’ offense, almost the same plot was staged again. Channing Frye was picked and rolled by Irving, and then hit a three-pointer after receiving a pass from the outside , ESPN and the two were speechless for a while. After all, Channing Frye made 7 three-pointers in the first two games of the finals before this, and only made one goal. They just opened their mouths, and they hit a three-pointer in this game.

In fact, after Channing Frye hit the ball, Ye Xuan and others felt a lot of pressure. After all, if the opponent's inside player misses the three-pointer, then it will be even more difficult for him to chase points in this game. Fortunately, in the next two rounds, the Cavaliers' offense also began to be hindered. Although Irving used pick-and-rolls and sudden points to find teammates who were missed, James and Love's open three-pointers ended in iron. , and for the Lakers, Solomon Hill's mid-range shot and Gasol's low-post singles also failed to score for the team.The feel of the two teams that were still very happy with each other instantly cooled down. At this time, the Lakers had to replace Larry Nance Jr. with Clarkson because the feel of the outside line began to decline. , hoping to use Clarkson's offense with the ball and outside shooting to help the team open the situation.

But the opponent is obviously not a fool, so he directly replaced Korver and replaced Irving at the same time, in order to be able to slightly guarantee the firepower of the outside line in this stalemate situation, and to make the opponent unable to Focus on the offense, so as to slowly use his more firepower and James' good touch to win the game.

After the substitutions were over, the Cavaliers immediately relied on their inside advantage to attack. Although Solomon Hill tried his best to defend the inside singles, he still couldn't stop James from attacking in the low post, and was swayed twice. After that, the opponent easily hit two points.As for the Lakers, the offense has come to a standstill because the shooting rate has begun to decline. Ye Xuan, who was originally very efficient and useful to help outside teammates find offensive opportunities, suddenly failed. The Lakers finally made a hit. After a mid-range shot, he made three consecutive shots, which caused the Cavaliers to quickly expand the point difference to more than 10 points.

What's more serious is that Ye Xuan, who the Lakers have been relying on, is being heavily guarded by the opponent at this time. At this time, not only George Hill, but Korver also comes over to interfere from time to time because he doesn't have to take care of Wade's outside shooting. Ye Xuan, so Ye Xuan didn't have any opportunities to play for a while, which made little Wharton, who had habitually pinned his hope of winning this season on Ye Xuan's personal ability, a little at a loss.Fortunately, Wade stepped forward at this time. When the Cavaliers were about to widen the point difference to 12 points again, a sudden long-range three-pointer forced the Lakers to narrow the point difference to 7 points.

Wade's three-pointer also changed direction and helped Ye Xuan break the opponent's brainless double-team defense. After all, the opponent didn't dare to hit the infinite air defense. Wade just made a three-pointer to go infinitely. Three-pointers, although Wade's three-pointers are not considered his conventional weapon, but he is an outside player anyway, and he still has something in his hands.

And it was from this goal that the Lakers officially sounded the horn of counterattack. In the next round of offense, Clarkson broke through with the ball and caused a foul by Love. Clarkson made two free throws. Helping the Lakers further narrow the score gap, the Cavaliers' offensive efficiency also began to decline at this time. In the next two rounds, the Cavaliers failed to hit the ball, but instead allowed the Lakers to hit a three-pointer again. , After the three-pointer was hit, the point difference between the two teams has been reduced to only 2 points. For a team with extremely high offensive efficiency like the Lakers, the difference of two points is simply not called a point difference.

The Cavaliers also called a timeout belatedly to adjust their status.After returning from the timeout, Tyronn Lue's substitution policy finally saw some results. Although Irving was no longer on the court, Korver finally found some touch in this game. It looked like a three-point shot, Clarkson's defense was in place enough, but he still couldn't interfere with the ball.

Korver hit a three-pointer, and the Cavaliers breathed a sigh of relief, but the Lakers' offense didn't give the opponent too much time to breathe. Ye Xuan immediately slipped to the baseline after breaking through on the offensive end, turned over and shot the ball again. Hit, at this time Korver's speed disadvantage is reflected, he just wants to defend, his speed is not enough to support him to keep up with Ye Xuan's footsteps, let alone interfere with Ye Xuan's shot.
