Super Evolution of Basketball

Chapter 132 Scary Beast!

The feeling of the Cavaliers is: the Lakers are going to die.

LeBron called his teammates together and told them that the opponent's state had obviously changed, and they should play this game as a playoff from now on.

Kevin Love nodded obediently. Although Kyrie Irving expressed understanding on the surface, he wondered why he should be so alarmist.

LeBron, this guy always wants to worry about nothing and think of himself as the head coach!

Owen slipped away after thinking about it. He couldn't help thinking of the time when he led the Cavaliers to the North and South before the return of the little emperor. At that time, the spotlight was all on him, and he was also the first target of the interview after the game.

Now everything has changed after that "Decision 2"...

After starting the game, Kobe is still responsible for defending Irving.

Irving played a few more times under the defense of the Black Mamba. As his physical strength declined, his shooting percentage gradually declined.

Once he was even directly blocked by Kobe under the basket, and another time he was soft and the ball was thrown out of bounds.

LeBron looked at Coach Blatt, who was watching the game seriously, but still didn't intend to change the lineup.

LeBron knew in his heart that Irving didn't finish well at the basket these few times, but it didn't mean that he didn't run out of tactics before. From the perspective of tactical execution, the few rounds just now were successful. Coach Blatt must think that he was successful if he ran out of tactics, and it was just bad luck not to score.

But no matter how successful the tactics are, what if they can't score in the end?

Irving's physical strength is obviously no longer able to cope with Kobe's high-pressure defense, why not change the offensive point?

You can stubbornly insist on your own opinion, but I must not watch you hand over the victory to others!

So LeBron forcibly took the ball away from Irving and handed it to Kevin Love.

Owen didn't say anything, but felt even more uncomfortable in his heart.

Kevin Love got the ball and finally had a chance to face the new No. [-] pick.

In fact, he and Downs still have a relationship. If it weren't for the big deal of the Timberwolves for two consecutive years, maybe Love and Downs have now formed a twin tower in Minnesota.

If the Timberwolves don't let go of Love, who was 20+20 back then, and add Downs, who has 20+10 strength just after entering the league, it may be better than the current Wiggins leading a group of mercenaries, but these are "ifs".

The match between Love and Towns is also the highlight of this game. It's time to test Downs' quality.

Yuan Qingshan called Towns aside: "It seems that Kobe is not going to attack, and then the ball will be handed over to you, let you try to attack Love, tell me how you want to play?"

Towns frowned and thought for a while: "I have observed that Love's defense is invisible and intangible. Many times the defensive action can be done properly, but it doesn't work at all."

"That's because his heart is not firm." Kobe's voice suddenly sounded.

The two turned to see Kobe standing behind them.

Kobe went on to say: "So the most effective way to beat Love is to kill the basket and kill him."

Downs nodded thoughtfully.

"Qingshan, you rested long enough in the first half, and then you have to step up. Neither Irving nor JR are good defensive players. You should go inside and try to give the ball to Towns under the basket. The deeper the position, the better."

"I understand!" Yuan Qingshan agreed.

Kobe was right. If Towns was allowed to catch the ball at mid-range as before, it would be too exhausting to hit the inside all the way. Love is not JR Smith after all, and he still has basic defensive skills.

As long as you get to the basket in one step, it will be much easier to score or kill.

It is easier for Yuan Qingshan to break through JR Smith than for Downs to beat Love.

After the timeout ended, Kobe took the initiative to replace JR with Yuan Qingshan through the pick-and-roll.

According to the established plan, Yuan Qingshan used the three-stage acceleration to easily pass JR's defense, and went straight to the basket from the left.

Towns had already run towards the basket when Yuan Qingshan started. Love moved a little slower, but followed closely.

According to the current speed, Towns can be one step ahead of Love, that is the opportunity, as long as Yuan Qingshan can pass the ball on time, Towns can easily score.

Yuan Qingshan counted the number of yards in his mind, one step, two steps, and two more steps before Downs entered the direct attack range.

It's here, it's now!
Yuan Qingshan raised his right arm while rushing forward, the basketball drew a small arc, rose to the height of Downs's chest, and then accelerated towards Downs.

The height of the ball is very comfortable. After receiving it, Towns doesn't need to adjust at all, and he can go straight to the basket.

However, a sudden change occurred!
A wall suddenly crossed between Yuan Qingshan and Downs, completely blocking the flight path of the basketball.

With a crisp sound, the fast-flying basketball was firmly clamped by a pair of big hands.

"Fast break!" Immediately after Yuan Qingshan heard a roar, everyone in the Cavaliers immediately started and rushed towards the Lakers' basket.

Irving took the lead and got rid of Kobe near the middle circle.

The person who issued the fast break command rounded his arms and swung the ball forward.

Quarterback long pass!
Irving received the ball at the free throw line and made an easy three-step drive.

A cooperation by the Lakers was counterattacked by the Cavaliers solidly.

"You need to concentrate a little more, don't forget about LeBron!" Kobe patted Yuan Qingshan on the head.

Yuan Qingshan looked behind him, LeBron smiled and gave his teammates a thumbs up.

This ball cast a big shadow on Yuan Qingshan. After he rushed in, he clearly saw LeBron being taken far away by Nick Young. How could he come back so quickly?
Is he faster than Irving?

Then, someone in the commentary answered his question.

"LeBron's defensive speed is too fast. People are used to his omnipotent offense, but often ignore his master-level defense." Van Gundy sighed that a historical superstar like LeBron would not allow himself to be biased.

"Yeah, his speed has surpassed Kyrie Irving just now, right?" Mark Jackson recalled, also marveling at such a terrifying speed with such a large weight.

"You remember when the media named the fastest guard in the East as John Wall?" Van Gundy asked.

Mark Jackson didn't get his point: "Does it have anything to do with LeBron's speed?"

Van Gundy put it bluntly: "One of Wall's nicknames in high school was LeBron Jr."

Mark Jackson suddenly realized: "LeBron's speed is faster than the fastest defender! It's terrible, what kind of beast is this!"

Kobe saw the hesitation in Yuan Qingshan's eyes: "Don't be discouraged, being robbed by LeBron is not a shameful thing, the tactics just now will continue, and I will attract LeBron away, did you hear that, Towns?"

Downs nodded. In order to kill Love, his teammates not only had to overcome difficulties, but also made sacrifices. With such a heavy burden placed on him, there was absolutely no room for loss!

"Don't worry, Boss Kobe!"

Kobe nodded, wiping the sweat off his face with the skirt of his shirt.

　Ask for a wave of recommendation tickets, and you can't count on monthly tickets.
