Chapter 605 The Turning Point

But when the two teams were in such a stalemate, an accident on the field directly broke the delicate balance between the two teams. With the last two and a half minutes left in the second quarter, the Lakers Ye Xuan controlled the basketball and came to the frontcourt, and then handed the ball to Wade. Wade held the ball and let all his teammates pull away, saying that he would try his own singles this round.

However, Wade, who has old arms and legs, was obviously careless when facing Owen's defense. He failed to shake his opponent away with two consecutive fake moves, but was almost intercepted by Owen. Ye Xuan saw this and was ready. Use the running position to drag the opponent's defense line, and then help Wade to break through, but when Ye Xuan rushed to the opponent's inside line without the ball, Wade made another mistake on his side. After two false moves, he failed. He directly chose to force a breakthrough, but the ball in his hand was directly knifed by Owen.

After Irving broke the ball, he immediately launched a fast break. Solomon Hill and Clarkson on the Lakers chased back frantically, while the Cavaliers used Irving and James' two-line fast break. After a step, a lateral transfer sent the ball to James, and James sent the ball back to Irving after attracting Solomon Hill's defense. At this time, Irving only needed to layup to end the battle. , but he didn't know if it was because he was too aggrieved in this series, so he wanted to vent, but he chose to use a one-handed split button. As a result, Clarkson, who was chasing back, jumped up and blocked the block. Irving was a bit reluctant to dunk and didn't hold the basket firmly. After the two collided, Irving fell back [-] degrees and fell down. Although Clarkson reluctantly used his hands to buffer Irving after landing here, but Owen obviously didn't find the center of gravity, and still hit the floor straight.

The referee immediately blew the whistle, but Irving could not move at this time. The players of the Cavaliers immediately surrounded him, and the players of the Lakers also surrounded him. Although there was no conflict between the two teams immediately , but the way Owen lay there holding his knees still made everyone feel a little terrified.

At this time, the big screen at the scene also began to replay the series of actions just now. In fact, there was no unnecessary action in the block that Clarkson chased back. After the two of them made physical contact in the air, Owen immediately wanted to catch it with one hand. The basket was used to stabilize the figure, but the hands were not fully grasped, and the impact of Clarkson's back defense was really strong, so Irving's hand grabbing the basket was directly washed away After the hand was released, Owen leaned back at 90 degrees and was about to fall down. This action was frightening in the slow playback of the defense, but fortunately, when he was about to land, Clarkson behind him reluctantly stretched out his hand to help him cushion it. , which didn't let him hit the ground head first.

But it was precisely because of Owen's handling after landing this time that he seemed a little flustered, so he wanted to find a support point after landing, but after his left foot landed, he panicked and found an angle in an attempt to stabilize his foot If Clarkson behind him can stabilize his head, then he is still stable this time, but Clarkson rushed to block the shot by himself, and it is difficult enough to help you stabilize when he lands That's right, of course I don't have enough time and ability to help you stabilize. As a result, after Owen's left foot landed, his upper body fell backwards again, and his feet just wanted to form a support angle with his head. As a result, all the strength fell on his left foot. His knee was already injured, and now he stretched it like this again, and the injury exploded again in an instant.

After watching the video, the referee has nothing to say. He can only give Clarkson a symbolic foul, and the Cavaliers have nothing to say. The video has basically restored the incident. There is a certain relationship between the rebound and block, but Irving himself has to bear some responsibility for forcing the dunk and the handling after landing.

James comforted Owen first, and after Owen was carried off on a stretcher, he came over to communicate with Ye Xuan for a while, and then walked back to the bench. At this time, Tyronn Lue could only choose Kyle- Korver was replaced.

But so far, all Cavaliers fans have almost fallen into despair. As long as they are carried out of the stadium on a stretcher, almost no one can return within two months. But it is estimated that this game will not come back, and without the presence of a key player, the difficulty for the Cavaliers to win this game is self-evident.

The game restarted, and the Cavaliers sent Korver to replace Irving for the extra penalty. Korver made an extra penalty and helped the Cavaliers widen the point difference to 8 points, but the price of this 2+1 is too great , which makes it difficult for the Cavaliers to win even a face-saving game at home.

But it is strange to say that although the offensive efficiency of the two teams was very high in the first half, since the injury incident, the two teams have become "polite", and the first to be "polite" is the Lakers , Ye Xuan took control of the ball and came to the frontcourt without even moving his hand, and a pass error occurred. Solomon Hill, who was running, tried his best but failed to get Ye Xuan's pass. In the end, he could only watch helplessly. Watch the ball roll off the baseline.

Looking back, Lao Zhan and the Lakers also "politely" took possession of the ball and came to the frontcourt, and directly chose a ground pass to find Love who went down to the side. As a result, Love was not able to hold Lao Zhan. Passing the ball, the same route, the same passing error, the core of the two teams were 'polite' a bit.

After that, although the two teams did not continue to make mistakes, their shooting percentage dropped. Until the end of the second quarter, the score gap between the two teams remained at 8 points. The two teams each scored 2 points, respectively, a turnaround shot hit by Lao Zhan at the last moment, and a layup after a breakthrough by Wade.

During the intermission, the atmosphere on the Lakers side was relatively cold because the score was behind. Although everyone was still relatively confident, but after all, the score was behind, so no one dared to fight in the locker room or the like.

As for the home team's locker room, the atmosphere was even more embarrassing. Although they led by eight points, they hurt the team's second leader. Although they haven't received the exact news from the hospital yet, but It is basically certain that Irving will not be able to catch up with any possible games this season, which almost cut off the Cavaliers' hope of creating a miracle.

The second half of the game is about to start soon, and at the same time, the highly resourceful reporters have already obtained first-hand information from the hospital. Owen's knee soft tissue contusion, although not a serious injury, will take about a month. Only by self-cultivation can you adjust yourself well, so the Cavaliers are almost sure that Irving will be reimbursed for the season.

For the Cavaliers, this news is undoubtedly not what they want to hear, but James, as the backbone of the team, still stood up at this time. He also knew that there might be no hope of winning the championship this season, but at least this They are still leading the game. If they can maintain this lead, at least they can avoid the fate of being swept away. This is also their established goal before the start of this game.

So after the start of the third quarter, James showed the combat effectiveness of the Pacers Gemini period.The Lakers served from the backcourt, Ye Xuan slowly controlled the basketball to the frontcourt, and then handed the ball to Wade for singles. Facing Kyle Korver's defense, Wade didn't give the opponent any face. Korver's footwork was obviously slower than Irving's, so he was passed by Wade without any resistance. After passing Korver, Wade moved inward Two steps, and then stepped on the free throw line and hit a mid-range shot.

But looking back, after James personally controlled the ball and came to the frontcourt, he used Love's pick-and-roll to avoid Solomon Hill's defense, and then rushed inside. The Lakers immediately double-teamed James, but James' pass was very weird, and the ball was sent from the gap to George Hill, who was beyond the three-point line. Hill caught the ball and shot it, and made a three-pointer steadily.

Seeing James send an assist, Ye Xuan also immediately wanted to pay back. After coming to the frontcourt, he called Gasol to help with the pick-and-roll, and after entering the opponent's penalty area to attract Tristan Thompson's help defense, Ye Xuan A pass behind the head will directly distribute the ball to Speights, who has already emptied the outside line.But James had already seen through Ye Xuan's plan when he was in Ye Xuan, and when Ye Xuan scored the ball, he directly cut off the basketball.

After the ball was broken, James immediately launched a counterattack, quickly dribbling the ball towards the Lakers' half court, Ye Xuan and Solomon Hill returned to the defense very quickly.But James' speed was even faster, and he rushed to the front court in a few strokes. Facing Ye Xuan, who hadn't gained a foothold yet, James immediately started to hit the basket. Ye Xuan also tried to interfere with the opponent, but not only failed. He was able to defend the ball, but instead paid for a foul.

After the extra penalty was sent to the basket, the Cavaliers took the lead again. Ye Xuan also blamed himself for this mistake, mainly because the opponent guessed Ye Xuan's intentions, so James seized the opportunity to take the lead. The ball breaks.Fortunately, looking back, Ye Xuan immediately used a throw after a breakthrough to recover the score for the Lakers. This time, Ye Xuan and Gasol cooperated very well. Taking advantage of the trend, he rushed towards the opponent's inside line together with Ye Xuan, and Tristan Thompson's attention was already attracted by Ye Xuan at this time, so Ye Xuan made a throwing posture, which attracted Thompson to jump over and try to block the shot , it turned out that Ye Xuan's ball was not going towards the goal. Gasol received Ye Xuan's lob from the left side of the basket, and pressed the basketball into the basket very easily. At this critical moment , nothing boosts morale more than an alley-oop.

However, because the Lakers were beaten 6:0 by the Cavaliers just now, although they hit a very morale-boosting alley-oop, the Lakers are now as many as ten points behind.Fortunately, in the next two rounds, Lao Zhan's pass did not help the Cavaliers score again. After the pick-and-roll, Love received Lao Zhan's return pass and pulled up a three-pointer. As a result, this shot felt a bit hasty , The shot hit the iron, and the rebound was collected by Gasol.

The Lakers served from the backcourt. After Ye Xuan regained control of the ball and came to the frontcourt, he called Gasol to help with the pick-and-roll again. However, after the pick-and-roll this time, Ye Xuan did not choose to break through.Instead, he took two steps to the side. George Hill, who was defending Ye Xuan, rushed to defend again, and Tristan Thompson, who followed after the pick-and-roll, also ran over because of the change of defense. The ground ball was sent directly to Gasol who cut inside. Although the Cavaliers still had Love sitting inside, he didn't dare to rush to defend Gasol. After all, there was a Speights behind him. The result is naturally only to watch Gasol hit the ball with a jumper from close range.

In the next two minutes or so, James and Love fully proved that they still have some strength. They hit a two-pointer respectively. It looked like the Cavaliers had the upper hand, but in fact the Lakers had relied on Ye Xuan's three-pointer and Solomon Hill's inside layup to quietly narrow the gap to 6 points.

At this time, the Lakers took the lead in adjusting personnel. Speights was replaced first because he didn't perform well, and was replaced by Clarkson. The main reason for the replacement was because of Wade's shooting percentage on the outside. A little worse, replacing Clarkson can slightly make up for the firepower on the outside.

As for the Cavaliers, there is nothing to adjust. Generally speaking, at this time, they will replace George Hill, replace Korver, then replace TT, replace Richard- Jefferson's, and now Irving is gone, so if TT is replaced, there is nothing to cooperate with Lao Zhan on the offensive end, so for the time being they can only choose to use this lineup to play against the Lakers for a while.

The timeout ended, and the game immediately restarted. At this time, the Lakers had gradually taken the initiative on the scene, and the impact of Irving's injury and retirement gradually emerged.
