Chapter 267 Bulldozer Attack
Owen reacted, did not rush to take off, and at the same time hurried forward to press.Kobe's fake moves, he knows it too well!
Irving was not fooled, and Kobe was not in a hurry.
He took off forcefully, leaned back, and threw the ball in a very difficult posture.
Swish!This three-pointer was also hit hollow.
Witnessing the goal, Irving couldn't help nodding his head. He had tried his best, but he still couldn't stop Kobe.
The rivalry between Kobe and Owen is only temporary, and their positions are different after all.
James has begun to take over the offense.
He suffered a loss from Lin Tian just now, but now facing Lin Tian, he directly made a three-pointer, which is considered to have regained his position.
And Lin Tian also began to frequently single James.
When playing against the Warriors, the Warriors' strategy to defend Lin Tian was double-teaming.
Now playing against the Cavaliers, James refused the help of his teammates and insisted on defending Lin Tian alone.
As a player with both speed and strength, Lin Tian has to admit that when James defends seriously, he is more threatening than Iguodala
The only ones who have caused him some trouble on the defensive end before are Leonard and Durant.
James defends Lin Tian, focusing on defending Lin Tian's breakthrough!
So Lin Tian increased his mid-range shots, which was very efficient.
James' singles performance against Lin Tian is not bad either.
His tank-like body, once charged by him, Lin Tian could hardly resist.
After finishing the first half like this, the Lakers still lead by 5 points.
After returning from the second half, both sides gave priority to shots from the outside.
Until they found that the outside line felt relatively average, they could only play inside.
Howard's advantages are reflected at this time.
He faced Tristan Thompson, who also entered the league with Irving in 2011.
And Tristan Thompson was still the No. [-] pick that year, and he can be regarded as a talented center.
His rebounding ability is good, especially his sense of smell in grabbing offensive rebounds.
But putting him against Howard still made him feel extremely uncomfortable.
The Lakers also have a pj Tucker inside. These players who are willing to engage in physical confrontation make the Cavaliers a little uncomfortable.
Lin Tian frequently fed the ball to Howard inside, and Howard also sent those balls into the basket very well.
An Eight Sage Kings couldn't stop Howard at all.
For the Cavaliers, they have another big center, Mozgov.
But Mozgov's speed is slower, let alone defend Howard.
The Lakers, who opened up the situation inside, slowly opened up the difference between the two sides.
After James found out that the inside line was blown up, he still wanted to use three-pointers to chase points.
Every time he is in Tulintian, he always tries to pass the ball.
These balls were basically passed to jr Smith or Kevin Love.
But Love and JR Smith's touch has completely cooled down. Under the high-intensity defense of Kobe and Tucker, it is difficult for them to make shots.
There is no way, teammates can't provide much help, James and Irving can only take turns to play singles.
Even so, they can only try to avoid widening the point difference.
After three quarters, the Lakers led by as much as 16 points!
And Howard scored 12 points just in the third quarter!
As he walked to the bench, he danced with excitement.
Lin Tian smiled bitterly and reminded: "Dwight, don't be too happy, the game is not over yet!"
If they were overturned by the Cavaliers in the fourth quarter, Howard's dance, I am afraid that the five big embarrassments will be booked.
Howard disagrees: "That young man can't guard me! His defense is cleaner than the two insiders of the Warriors! There are not so many small and dirty moves, they can't stop me!"
Lin Tian stopped talking.
After a while, the last quarter started.
James even appeared at the beginning of the fourth quarter, while Lin Tian was still resting.
For the Lakers, Nick Young will play the third position temporarily, PJ Tucker will play the fourth position, and Channing Frye will play the fifth position.
In this way, the burden of defending James fell on Nick Young.
Nick Young is not much shorter than James, but their tonnage is not at the same level at all.
In front of James, Nick Young is a thin man.
James dribbled the ball for half the court, and seeing the Lakers even send Nick Young to defend himself, his eyes lit up, and he took the ball and killed it.
When Nick Young's scrawny body was preventing Lin Tian from breaking through, he was almost carried by James to the inside.
On the first ball, he let James throw it in, and he also paid a foul, allowing James to complete 2+1.
This is just the beginning. After the Lakers completed an offense, James continued to play Nick Young.
It's still easy to break into the inside and put the ball in, without stopping.
Facts have proved that Nick Young went to defend James to give James points.
Lin Tian, who was sitting on the sidelines, was not surprised by this scene.
He only hopes that the Cavaliers will be able to chase points a little slower during the period when he is not on the court.
Nick Young's defense against James was extremely poor, and the Lakers quickly changed their defensive strategy.
When James took the ball again, PJ Tucker came to James.
In the last round of the series against the Warriors, the flank defense composed of PJ Tucker and Lin Tian made the Warriors' three-pointers misfiring.
Except for Lin Tian on the Lakers side, Tucker must be the best defense against James.
Lin Tian thought that Tucker's defense could slightly disrupt James' offensive rhythm.
But James has turned into an almighty James at this time, even the defensive titan Tucker can't stop him!
On the offensive end, James is omnipotent. On the defensive end, James also quickly completed a steal.
In less than 3 minutes, the point difference was narrowed by the Cavaliers to 10 points.
Lin Tian came to the technical stage early, and took advantage of a dead ball to let Scott change himself back to the court.
When Nick Young finished high-fiving Lin Tian, he patted Lin Tian on the shoulder as if seeing a savior: "Lin! You still have to come!"
Lin Tian smiled: "Leave it to me."
The Lakers served, Lin Tian dribbled the ball halfway, and suddenly accelerated to break through James.
After James followed up, he suddenly gave the ball to Channing Frye in the bottom corner.
Channing Frye catches the pass and throws it over Love.
Swish!Three points hit!
This three-pointer can be regarded as temporarily stabilizing the situation.
After Channing Frye scored, he gave Lin Tian a thumbs up.
Lin Tian will also smile, which is why he asked the management to trade Channing Frye to the team.
If Channing Frye hadn't come to the Lakers, then he might already be James' right-hand man now...
