Super Evolution of Basketball

Chapter 544 Look, is this still plausible?
No. 12 VIP box.

"When did the Lakers become so strong?" Griffin exclaimed.

Gordon: "This is just the kickoff. Are you sure the Lakers will win this game?"

Griffin nodded slowly and meaningfully: "Yes, I have a feeling that the Lakers will have the last laugh."

Capela didn't understand: "Why?"

Griffin: "If we lose to this year's championship in the second round, it will not be a loss."

Gordon: ...

Griffin turned his face to the other side, and the first thing he saw was a bushy beard: "James, who do you think will win?"

Harden stared at the court and said, "The team that can withstand the pressure will win."

Griffin looked at Harden in embarrassment, thinking that you are not talking nonsense.

At this time, what Harden thought was: After the Cavaliers lost the first game in an upset, LeBron James will never let it go. This time the Cavaliers will definitely fight back to the death. Can the Lakers resist the pressure?

On the contrary, after the Lakers won their first game, they are now at their strongest moment, and they definitely want to go all out to win another game, so can the Cavaliers resist the pressure?
Harden thought about it, and laughed himself, as if he hadn't said anything.

As Harden expected, the Lakers speeded up the pace of the game unscrupulously. Yuan Qingshan, as the engine, turned on his horsepower and mobilized all his teammates to attack the Cavaliers' defensive barrier round after round.

Kyrie Irving's defensive pressure increased sharply, Tyronn Lue once wanted to replace him, worried that he would be injured.

Commentary seat.

O'Neill: "The Cavaliers seemed to be stunned by the Lakers at the beginning. The Lakers suddenly accelerated, and Tyronn Lue was caught off guard."

Mark Jackson: "I hope they can adjust well in the second quarter. The Lakers also have disadvantages in playing like this. The physical strength of the starters will drop quickly. At that time, the Cavaliers can pull a wave of counterattacks. Right, Charles?"

The discussion before the opening made Mark Jackson mistakenly think that Barkley had misunderstood him, so he wanted to find some topics to ease the atmosphere.

Barkley: "Counterattack? Lakers championship!"

Mark Jackson: ...

Throughout the first quarter, the Cavaliers failed to find a chance to counterattack, 34 to 27, and the Cavaliers trailed by 7 points.

During the intermission, LeBron James walked off the court with a cold face, as did the other main players. In short, the atmosphere on the home team's bench was very dull.

Director Tyronn Lue squatted in front of the players and shouted: "Defense, we must defend, and we cannot give the Lakers a chance to rush. We must strengthen our strength and confront them. First of all, we must put pressure on them in terms of momentum."

Tristan Thompson: "Is it a foul play, Coach?"

Tyronn Lu: "Tristan, I'm talking about confrontation, not pure foul tactics. Do you want to start foul tactics in the second quarter?"

"Switch the defense, I'll defend Yuan Qingshan." LeBron James was silent for a while and finally spoke.

Tyronn Lue: "That's good, but don't get hurt, you know, LeBron?"

LeBron James: "Director Lu, do you think I will be injured by a 190 cm backcourt player?"

Tai Lunlu said with a serious expression: "Anyway, don't get hurt, as long as they show signs of fighting, I will replace you."

LeBron James: "Director Lu, I also want to ask, how long will you let me play tonight?"

Tyronn Lue turned his head and asked the assistant coach: "What is LeBron's average playing time?"

Assistant coach Drew: "34 minutes in the regular season and 31 minutes in the playoffs."

LeBron James had a black line on his face, and said to himself, look, is this still plausible?

Tyronn Lue thought for a while and said: "33 minutes, this is already my limit, let's stop haggling, okay, LeBron."

LeBron James:……

The timeout ends and the second quarter begins.

DJ: "Defend, defend, defend!"

Home crowd: "Defend, defend, defend!"

"Kyrie, come out from the weak side, and I will find a chance to score you on the right wing." James said to Irving using the opportunity of passing by.

Owen ran to the frontcourt with a blank face, and Yuan Qingshan was waiting there early, giving Owen the feeling like a gate made of steel.

James dribbled straight to the left 45 degrees, Irving started, came to a high position from the bottom corner on the right, and James passed the ball immediately.

However, Yuan Qingshan's defense was timely, and Owen failed to find the ideal shot opportunity. He hesitated and could only lob it to Tristan Thompson in the paint.

There is very little cooperation between the two of them. One is that Irving has basically done it alone when he broke through to this depth, and the other is that he does not trust Tristan Thompson's inside offense.

There is no way to pass it to the inside line this time, which is not Owen's intention.

"Be strong, TT!" James saw his younger brother got the ball, and immediately shouted into the penalty area.

Tristan Thompson held the ball in both hands and arched it inward. Whiteside was very stable and did not lose his position. Tristan Thompson felt the distance from himself to the basket, and finally gave up the idea of ​​shooting. He glanced behind him and wanted to pass the ball back to LeBron James.

The offensive time is running out, and James can only shoot from the three-point line.

"The ball is scored, this is a superstar!" Mark Jackson shouted.

"Okay, LeBron's touch is coming!" Derek Williams stood up and applauded.

The fans who were closer to the field blew their whistles, and this example of James' goal was played back on the big screen over and over again.

However, LeBron James himself felt that there was nothing to show off. It was a last resort just now, but it just felt good and was lucky.

James' three-pointer once boosted the morale of the Cavaliers. Tyronn Lusso replaced Tristan Thompson and shot all over the place.

Amazingly, the Cavaliers players seemed to be blessed by magic amid the cheers of the home fans, and their three-point shooting rate soared, and they chased the point difference back to only 1 point before the end of the halftime.

66:65.

The Lakers lead by one point. In terms of momentum, the Cavaliers have the advantage.

During the intermission, the staff of the Quicken Loans Center continued to warm up the field, and the camera was sweeping. The camera accidentally caught several Rockets players. Although each of them was wearing a baseball cap and wrapped themselves tightly, they were still discovered and caused a commotion.

"How did we find out?" Eric Gordon asked his teammates with a voice between his teeth, with a professional smile on his face.

Griffin pulled the brim of his hat a little lower and said, "You're going to ask James that."

Gordon: Harden?
Griffin: "James, can you wear a mask next time you come out?"

After a pause, he continued: "No, the mask can't cover your beard."

James Harden smiled, showing his white teeth.

"James, James, James!"

The nearby fans shouted in unison.

James Harden waved shyly at them.
