Chapter 611 Knights Danger(2/2)
This time, Irving received the basketball at a 45-degree angle from the three-point line on the right wing. Seeing that Lillard was sticking close to him, he first took a tentative step to the left, then suddenly passed the ball from the right and broke through along the baseline!
Irving's breakthrough can switch between reality and reality very quickly, and the start is quite sudden. As the No. 1 pick in his debut, his physical fitness is also very good.
But this time, he found that he had not completely gotten rid of the Blazers' defense. After running about two or three steps, Matthews suddenly came up.
He was very surprised by the speed of the opponent's defense.
However, he was still more excited inside at this time.
Two defenders mean nothing?
This young Mamba successor is always thinking about how to inherit the Mamba spirit.
Therefore, Cavaliers No. 2 took off for a layup without completely getting rid of Matthews, twisted his body into a twist in the air, and narrowly escaped Matthews' interference.
"It's coming, it's coming again, Irving..." Mark Jackson was about to raise his arms and shout, his emotions were brewing, but he was only trembling at the last moment, but he was deeply interrupted by the scene that happened on the field.
.
On the court, just when Irving had just avoided Matthews and had just reached his highest point and was about to take a shot, the basketball was slapped onto the backboard by the third Trail Blazers player from the left!
A difficult goal failed!
Of course, from a certain perspective, Irving did learn some essence, even if it was negative...
"It's a pity that Irving almost scored. In fact, this goal had certain suspicions of crime, but the referee ignored it."
Mark Jackson can change his commentary without blushing, but Irving must bear the consequences of being blocked.
Lillard, who was following Irving, grabbed the rebound and went for a fast break. James had to make up the defense.
In a defensive fast break, it is definitely not feasible to directly find the opponent. You must either block people nearby or wait for opportunities to block shots. The former is more conservative, while the latter carries certain risks.
But James subconsciously chose the latter.
There is no other reason. This is due to his confidence in his own strength.
I saw Lillard dashing to the frontcourt, seizing the right moment, and leaping into the air. Behind him, James struck back, quickly reached the same height, and stretched out his hands...
As a result, it was discovered that Lillard had not made any move and the basketball was nowhere to be seen.
James suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.
"He's here! He's here! Everyone must be familiar with this scene from LeBron's body-chasing hat..."
Mark Jackson's face turned red again, and just as he was about to continue the trembling he had just done, the shout that reached his throat suddenly stopped.
"Snapped!"
The sound of a ground pass.
Hearing this voice, James understood that if nothing unexpected happened, he would have to...
boom--!
"Violent dunk! After Wang Zelin blocked Irving, he immediately ran to the frontcourt, received Lillard's ground pass, and pushed the ball into the basket against LeBron! Oh, ho, ho, poor LeBron.
, he was once again reduced to a backdrop!"
Compared to Mark Jackson, Weber could no longer suppress the excitement in his heart and started roaring crazily.
Wang Zelin not only scored 4 points in a row but also had a big shot in between, and successfully helped the Trail Blazers further expand their lead.
"Boy, can you be gentler next time?"
Thanks to James' strong body, he quickly regained his footing after being buckled. He just turned his head, looked at the two long legs hanging around his waist, and shook his head helplessly.
“Next time a little bit more!”
After reluctantly putting his legs down from James, Wang Zelin smiled, turned around and high-fived Lillard in celebration.
"Roar!!!!"
At the other end, all the Trail Blazers players were shouting loudly. At this time, their eyes were full of desire for victory.
The morale of the entire team became stronger after this dunk.
So in the second quarter of the game, the Trail Blazers gradually launched a wave of offensive, causing the Cavaliers to complain incessantly.
If it weren't for James' three-pointer, a breakthrough, and five consecutive points to stabilize the game at the last minute, the point difference between the two teams would have exceeded 20 points.
Batum was almost in despair, but he couldn't guard James, so there was nothing he could do.
In the end, at 56:42, the Trail Blazers led by 14 points on the road after the first half.
Wang Zelin performed extremely well on both offense and defense, scoring a team-high 17 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists, and also sent an astonishing 4 blocks!
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! In addition, Aldridge scored 12 points and 4 rebounds, and Lillard scored 10 points, 2 rebounds and 5 assists.
In the first half of the game alone, the three core players all scored in double figures. The outstanding performance of the three became a key factor in the Blazers' huge lead.
On the knight's side.
James' performance was the most outstanding, and can even be said to be the best in the game. After playing the entire first half, he made 8 of 14 shots, including 3 of 5 three-pointers and 2 of 4 free throws, which was the highest score in the game.
21 points, plus 5 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 steal!
His performance in the first half was impeccable, and he scored half of the team's points alone.
certainly.
If possible, James would not want to bargain for such a high score alone. After all, he is not a player who pursues high scores. He is known for his versatility.
It's just that tonight, except for James, the other two members of the Big Three of the Cavaliers, Irving scored 8 points. After Cousins scored 6 points in the first quarter, he didn't score a point in the second quarter.
Irving, Cousins and other players are tied together, and the score is comparable to James.
This is why James had to score high points.
Home team locker room.
"LeBron, you play No. 4 in the second half and do a good job of assisting defense! DeMarcus, pay attention to the number of fouls you commit."
As soon as he returned to the locker room, David Blatter made this bold adjustment.
If combined with the Heat period, this adjustment is actually not too bold. After all, James often defended the 4th position during his years with the Heat.
As he said that, he looked at Irving again: "Kyrie, in the second half you have to increase your outside firepower output to contain the opponent."
The first half was about to fall behind by 20 points before the end of the first half. At this moment, David Blatt knew that the only people he could rely on were the Big Three.
Although he is only a rookie coach, and even his words within the team are far less authoritative than James's, in some respects, he and James have the same goals.
They all yearn for victory! Yearn for this kind of championship!
