Super Evolution of Basketball

Chapter 534 Listen to the coach!
O'Neill came to the visiting team's locker room during the intermission and happened to meet Yuan Qingshan.

He kindly reminded Yuan Qingshan that the Lakers should continue to attack the inside.

Yuan Qingshan expressed his understanding, and the same is true of his pre-match plan, try to play out the advantages of Downs and Whiteside, especially Downs, when encountering an insider like Love who is not very resolute in defense, he must seize the opportunity.

O'Neill reminded Yuan Qingshan to pay attention to Owen.

Speaking of Kyrie Irving, Yuan Qingshan immediately interrupted O'Neal and said firmly: "It's okay, I will try to lock up Irving."

Yuan Qingshan was unexpectedly full of confidence, and it was inconvenient for O'Neill to say more.

O'Neal is a bit skeptical about what Yuan Qingshan said about locking Irving. After all, that is Kyrie Irving. The three-pointer at the end of last year's tiebreaker has still left a deep impression on O'Neal.

Click, the door of the visiting team's locker room opened again, and the Lakers players came out.

The head coach Wharton was very happy to see O'Neill, took him aside and said a few words, and Yuan Qingshan was responsible for bringing the players to the field.

In the locker room of the home team, players from the Cavaliers were also present.

Commentary seat.

Taking advantage of O'Neill's absence, Barkley went all out to tease Christine.

but.

It doesn't work at all, after all, Kristen's ideal type is Irving, Barkley?Come on, isn't it too different?
After a simple warm-up, the second half of the first game of the finals began.

The ball is with the Lakers.

Both teams made their first appearances.

Lakers: PG Yuan Qingshan, SG Jamal Murray, SF Paul George, PF Karl-Anthony Towns, C Hassan Whiteside.

Cavaliers: PG Kyrie Irving, SG Bradley Beal, SF LeBron James, PF Kevin Love, C Tristan Thompson.

Towns served to Yuan Qingshan, and Yuan Qingshan handed the ball to Murray just after passing the middle circle.

Murray ran to the right and pulled to the sideline to wait for an opportunity to break through. As a result, Bill suddenly confronted, Murray fell to the ground, and the ball flew out of bounds.

The whistle sounded, and Bill did not make any foul moves. This time it was Murray who made a mistake and the ball was converted.

The little confidence that Murray had accumulated with great difficulty suddenly vented half of it. Yuan Qingshan noticed the strangeness in his expression, and pulled him aside for a few words of comfort.

The Cavaliers served, and Irving singled out Yuan Qingshan with the ball. Irving walked to the right this time, but Yuan Qingshan failed to intercept it, but turned around and followed to intercept, forcing Irving to make a two-step jumper inside the three-point line.

Yuan Qingshan made an effective interference, and Owen's shot went wide, with great strength.

"Hmm." James exclaimed softly. It's really rare for Irving to throw such a biased ball.

At this time, Towns was in a high position, and Love estimated the landing point of the rebound, and took a few steps forward to block Whiteside behind him. In this way, Tristan Thompson got a chance to pick up the rebound comfortably.

The Cavaliers' offensive rebounds +1.

"Kyrie!" Tristan Thompson is usually good with Irving. Before the game, Irving expressed his desire to blow up the Lakers' No. [-] position. Of course, Tristan Thompson has to support his teammates.

"Kyrie's chance is not good." James' heart tightened.

Director Tyronn Lue was still posing with the inner eight, shaking his head mechanically: "Kerry is too anxious, he is too anxious."

Tristan Thompson's strength is rebounding, passing is not his strong suit.

With everyone reading his intentions, the ball was thrown directly.

If you want to fly to Owen's hands, you need to pass in front of Yuan Qingshan.

Snapped!
Yuan Qingshan broke the ball almost effortlessly, then swung his long arm and handed it to Towns, who was already on the fast break.

Nick Young: "Okay!"

Wharton: "That's it!"

Owen's face darkened instantly, and he glared at Tristan Thompson.

Tristan Thompson looked at the team boss LeBron James aggrievedly.

James made a gesture to Tristan Thompson to "calm down."

Bang!

At this time, there was a sound from the backcourt of the Cavaliers, and Towns succeeded in a fast break dunk.

In the crowd, Tim Duncan: "Very fast, Towns is very mobile."

Popovich nodded, agreeing with his words: "So when we meet the Lakers next season, you have to entangle him, and you can't let him start easily."

Tim Duncan didn't answer, but directly constructed a picture of himself defending Towns in his mind.

Conclusion after thinking: no problem.

After a few rounds, the commentary seat.

Christine said: "The Lakers scored in the interior one after another, and the Cavaliers should pay attention."

O'Neal said: "That's right, you saw it right. The Lakers have found the key to victory. Now let's see how the Cavaliers adjust. Look at the time. Nearly halfway through the third quarter, the Cavaliers are still 8 points behind."

Christine suddenly shouted: "My God, is this the adjustment of the Cavaliers? Director Tyronn Lue replaced LeBron James at this critical moment."

Barkley opened the notepad and said flatteringly: "Now is the Cavaliers' fixed substitution time. Coach Tyronn Lue has always followed this rule."

Christine rolled her eyes and said, "I think it's a deadly rule. Aren't they afraid of being beaten by the Lakers after LeBron is off the court?"

Barkley clucked his mouth.

Christine asked: "Charles, so you think the Cavaliers made the right substitution?"

Barkley quickly denied: "No, no, no, now is the time when LeBron is needed the most, what the hell is Director Lu doing?"

What is Director Lu going to do?
This is what LeBron James wanted to ask. He did not return to his seat after he left the court, but directly confronted Tyronn Lue who was standing on the sidelines: "Coach, why did you replace me at this time? My physical fitness is fine!"

Tyronn Lue put his right hand on his upper arm and said: "LeBron, your rest time is up, go back to your seat, I still need you to lead your teammates to the last moment."

"The last moment?" LeBron James was almost amused: "Director Lu, according to the current style of play, do you think we will have the last moment?"

Director Lu stopped talking, but still insisted on his substitution strategy unchanged.

James made a "WHY" gesture to Tylen Lue's back, and then reluctantly returned to the rest seat.

Cavaliers assistant coach Drew patted James' thigh and said: "Relax, LeBron, choose to trust the coach at this time."

James neither affirmed nor denied. He understands what Drew said, but Tyronn Lue is too rigid about the team rotation.

Rigid to outrageous.

really.

After the Cavaliers replaced LeBron James, Yuan Qingshan immediately adjusted his tactical arrangements on the court. Paul George, who has not yet left the court, ushered in the first wave of unlimited shots in this game.
