The whistle sounds for the second quarter!
The Hornets rotated as usual. Mason came up as a substitute, and immediately took the lead for the Hornets. He directly hit a three-pointer at the beginning of the game.Directly helped the Hornets extend their lead to nine points.

The Cavaliers are not a fuel-efficient lamp, and then immediately responded with a wave of 8-0 spurts to the Hornets to directly approach the Hornets' lead to only one point left.

Seeing the momentum of the Cavaliers chasing points so fiercely, the Hornets had to replace all the main players again.

The main force of the Hornets came up, and Jack immediately asked for the ball in the low post to play Gooden with his back.Jack used his nimble footwork to shake off Gooden's defense, turned around very easily, and hit the basket under the basket.

Jack is such a firefighting player, and he suppressed the Cavaliers' counterattack momentum as soon as he came up.

Cavaliers attack!Not yet, Jack protected the rebound.After Paul received the ball, he immediately increased his speed to the extreme.Pressing down on the Cavaliers team, he moved around a lot, and then a hand suddenly appeared from the crowd and sent the ball into the basket.

The Hornets passed the continuous goals of the two cores of Jack and Paul, and opened the score to 5 points.

"Forcing..." The Cavaliers requested a timeout.

Larry Brown couldn't sit still anymore. The Cavaliers' substitutes lost a lot in terms of offense and defense.Therefore, he quickly replaced James and other main players.

As soon as James and other main players came back, the two sides immediately fell into a stalemate. Jack and James hit one after another. When there were 3 minutes left in the second quarter, the score was still not opened, and it was maintained at five points. within.

Paul went straight to the basket through Jack's pick-and-roll, and Paul scored two points very easily.Afterwards, James showed his power frequently because he was not restricted by Jack.James assisted Snow of the Cavaliers one after another, and Larry Hughes hit two three-pointers on the outside.

The Cavaliers approached the score to only one point, and then James intercepted Paul's pass, fast-breaked directly to the basket, and dunked directly.With 46 seconds left in the second quarter, the score was successfully overtaken by one point.

Jack quickly stopped the momentum of being overtaken. Through the single-block cover of Hilton on the inside, he came out from the inside, received a pass from Paul, and faced James who was defending him, he pulled up directly.Facing James' defense, he made a very crisp shot, and James' interference had no effect on Jack.

With a sound of "Swap", Jack hit the ball steadily, and some of them overtook each other by one point.

Cavaliers attack!With 24 seconds left before the end of the second quarter, 45 to 46, the Hornets led by one point.

The Hornets have requested a substitution, Russell Butler is off, David West is on, Byron Scott has handled this detail very well, his main purpose of doing this is to contain it, the Cavaliers The team's attack!It can also be said that he suddenly wants to use Jack's defensive ability to contain James' attack this time!
The last wave of offense in the second quarter was mainly dominated by James.

James faced Jack with the three-threat posture holding the ball at the top of the three-point arc. Jack knew that James would not shoot easily in front of him. Jack let James take a step, mainly to prevent his breakthrough.

Facing Jack's defense, James dribbled the ball back and forth around the top of the three-point arc, looking for an opportunity to break through Jack.However, Jack was simply unmoved.When the offensive time was almost consumed by James, suddenly, James pretended to break through to the right.

Jack almost fell for it, and his body's center of gravity shifted a little to the right.Seeing James's motionless stomach, Jack realized that there was a trick, and quickly took a step back to wait for him on the route James was advancing.

James seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. He dribbled the ball with his right hand and passed it to his left hand. He switched from attacking with his right hand to his left hand and broke through with his left hand.James didn't dare to say anything else, but it was his breakthrough. Looking at the entire league, it can be said that Jordan's unique skill-the existence of a fadeaway shot.

It is very normal for Jack to be almost cheated, because Jack's defense is still around 83. Facing such a lethal move, it is a very good thing to be able to defend against it.At this time, what is the matter of being cheated or not?

James couldn't help but frowned deeply when he saw Jack so lingering.With a sigh of relief, he gave his shoulders to Jack, but the trick that James used to try all the time suddenly failed for Jack.Jack is like a mountain blocking James' front.

James, who has already started, really has no choice, a super difficult, elegant fadeaway shot...

With such an exaggerated movement of James, it is impossible for Jack to block the shot even if he wants to.

"Beep" The whistle sounded for the end of the second quarter.James made a shot at the buzzer!

"Dang..." The sound of iron strikes resounded throughout the Quicken Loans Center, and James did not have a chance to kill.

Therefore, the Hornets entered the second half with a 1-point lead.

In the second half, in order to avenge his revenge in the first half, James hit a three-pointer as soon as he came on the court, and directly overtook the score by two points 48 to 46.
Jack immediately responded with a post-up in the low post. Gooden played back in the low post and hit the ball with a fadeaway shot.

After this point, after the two sides, you come and go and engage in a tug-of-war, and the scores of both sides are constantly rising alternately.In the end, they tied 22 in the third quarter and ended the third quarter 66-67.Or the Hornets lead by one point.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the two sides began to fight bayonets as soon as they came up.

As soon as James came up, he was about to make a forcible breakthrough, which directly caused a foul by Hilton, who was defending from the inside, and successfully scored the ball.James got a two-plus-one chance.

James scored with an extra penalty!
After James successfully hit a three-pointer, the score between the two sides came to 69 to 67, and the Cavaliers led the score by two points. q
The Cavaliers threw this hot potato to the Hornets.
