I am super giant

Chapter 175 Dilemma
The Cavaliers attacked again, and Ye Feng wanted to take advantage of Boozer's advantage against Medvedenko, but Grant directly gave up Batty and double-teamed Boozer.

This is completely ignoring Batty. If he has no offensive ability, he will be treated like this, just like Big Ben.

Batty withdrew, trying to get near the only free-throw line he liked to meet Boozer.

But here, Payton and Kobe, and even Devin George are on guard.

This Lakers team has a very strong defensive ability.

Payton is the only No. 1 who has won the best defensive player. Kobe's defensive ability is better than Payton. George is crazy, and he seems very excited today.

Boozer glanced at Batty from the corner of his eye, and decisively gave up the idea of ​​passing the ball to him.

This ball will definitely not reach his hands.

So, the ball returned to James' hands.

Time was running out, James forced his way to the basket and missed a shot under Kobe's tight defense.

In turn, the Lakers attack.

After Grant played, he attracted James' contraction, an unpredictable second pass passed the ball, and Kobe shot it after catching the ball.

Swish!
At 18:19, the Lakers took the lead.

And Bryant's personal score has reached double digits.

beep~
Paul called a timeout.

"Carlos (Boozer), you defend Grant. Batty, you defend Medvedenko. At least last until the second quarter."

In the second quarter, Ilgauskas can play again, so Batty doesn't need to support him.

"James, Ye, you two need to play resolutely, score yourself, and then stretch the Lakers' defense."

"Eric (Williams), keep the space open."

The timeout ends quickly and the game continues.

The tactical changes arranged by Paul are very pragmatic and can be regarded as targeted change strategies.

However, the end of Ilgauskas still had a great impact on the Cavaliers. Grant continued to ignore Batty's existence, wantonly shrinking the inside line with Medvedenko, and built a defensive wall under the basket.

These two guys who were blown up on the defensive end turned around and turned the inside of the Lakers into a no-fly zone.

Under such circumstances, it is difficult for James' breakthrough to produce results.

Coupled with the presence of Kobe, it is even more difficult for James to score. After missing two shots again, he is already 6 of 1 shots.

And the score on the field is getting bigger and bigger, and it has reached 22:28.

The first quarter ended in this situation.

"It seems that the departure of Ilgauskas has really had a great impact on the Cavaliers."

"Of course, I think this has something to do with their own strength. Regardless of the fact that the Cavaliers have a good record during this period, they even rushed from the bottom three in the Eastern Conference to the fifth in the Eastern Conference. But, that's just because the Eastern Conference The overall strength is too weak, and the opponents of the Cavaliers during this period are not strong enough. When they encounter a strong team like the Lakers, there is still no O'Neal and Malone, and they can't stand it. This is the difference between a real strong team and a fake strong team gap."

In an instant, the Cavaliers became the bad team that the commentator said.

beep~
The second quarter begins.

The return of Ilgauskas has improved the morale of the Cavaliers team a lot.

However, if you observe carefully, you can find that Big Z has lost the momentum he had at the beginning of the game. On the defensive end, he is a bit submissive, and he is always afraid to make a move.

The Lakers took this opportunity to attack the inside again and again.

You also dare not defend, the more I want to hit you.

The aggrieved Big Z can only focus on the offensive end, forcing Grant again and again to score for the Cavaliers.

Under such circumstances, the Cavaliers can be regarded as stabilizing the scene.

Although it did not narrow the score, it did not allow the Lakers to continue to expand the score.

However, in the 4th minute of the second quarter.

After Ilgauskas took the ball again, he pushed Grant on the edge of the three-second zone, and Grant suddenly fell to the ground.

beep~
The referee's whistle sounded immediately, indicating that Ilgauskas made an offensive foul.

Cleveland fans are in an uproar, can Ilgauskas knock down Grant?To hell!
Although Big Z has been strong against Grant, he relies on height and speed, not strength.

He is 221cm tall and is a little giant.But everyone knows that Ilgauskas's base is unstable and his positioning ability is very poor, let alone relying on strength to force others?

"This is obviously a flop, a shameless performance!"

"Ilgauskas should not be called for a foul, but Grant should be called for a technical foul. This is a shameless flop."

"Dog referee, do you know how to whistle, get out!"

Cleveland fans were dissatisfied, but it was meaningless.

First of all, this is Los Angeles, home of the Lakers, and Cleveland fans are just a minority.

Second, even in Cleveland, the home court of the Cavaliers, the referee cannot easily change the judgment because of the dissatisfaction of the fans.

"foul!"

The referee insisted on his decision.

As a result, Ilgauskas received his third foul and returned to the bench again.

The Cavaliers once again returned to the situation in the second half of the first quarter, and the situation was not good.

James and Ye Feng looked at each other and nodded silently.

Next, Ye Feng led a group of pitchers to open up the space, and James was responsible for attacking the inside.

But because of the absence of Ilgauskas, the Lakers wantonly contracted, and only Medvedenko and Brian Cook, who came off the bench, blocked the inside.

James' impact to the basket is not effective.

The score on the court gradually widened.

At halftime, 40:52, the Lakers pulled the score to double digits.

To make matters worse, under the joint strangulation of the Lakers insider and Kobe, James was so exhausted that he suffered from rare cramps.

James was off the field, and Ilgauskas could not play in time. The situation of the Cavaliers has reached the most critical moment.

At the beginning of the second half, both teams made adjustments.

The Lakers haven't changed much: Grant, Brian Cook, Devin George, Kobe, Fisher.

The Cavaliers lineup is very different: Batty, Boozer, Eric Williams, Kapono, Ye Feng.

Although the Lakers' lineup is already very poor, the Cavaliers' lineup is much worse than the Lakers'.

The absence of Ilgauskas and the absence of James made Cleveland fans desperate, and many people even turned off the TV in advance.

Paul was also at a loss, and didn't even have much arrangement, but asked everyone to play seriously.

However, Ye Feng didn't want to give up.

At this time, Ye Feng and Boozer are the absolute main force of the Cavaliers.

Boozer was taken care of by the Lakers again, and Ye Feng became the only point the Cavaliers could rely on.

Ye Feng knew that he had to stand up.

Fighting Fisher, Ye Feng has no pressure.

With just one change of direction, Ye Feng completely threw this 30-year-old "old fish" away.

But the difficulty is that after breaking through Fisher, it is the beginning of the road to scoring.

Kobe and George's defense, Grant and Bryan's supplementary defense, are mountains between Ye Feng and the basket.

Snapped!
Among the crowd, Ye Feng forcibly made a move, and Kobe directly rewarded him with a big hot pot from the flank, and he was pushed to the floor.

Ye Feng realized how difficult it is for James to score.

Think about it, James' shooting percentage today is even less than 30%, and you can know how strict the Lakers' restrictions on breakthroughs are.

"Ye, I won't let you!"

At this moment, Kobe's voice suddenly came from above Ye Feng's head.

Off the court, the two have a close relationship.

But on the court, there are only enemies. This is the charm of the NBA and competitive sports.

Ye Feng raised his head and glanced at Kobe, his eyes sparkled.

"I don't need you to let me!"
