Super Evolution of Basketball

Chapter 546
85:94.

The Lakers entered the fourth quarter with a nine-point deficit in Game 9.

This quarter is very important. If you win, you will have two away games in a row, and you will have an absolute advantage in returning to Los Angeles. If you lose, there will be variables.

"Los Angeles stars, we're falling behind, show some fighting spirit, okay?" Walton said, patting the tactical board with his palm.

Then he looked at Yuan Qingshan, meaning you don't want to say something?

"Paul, stick to LeBron, stick to it, cut him off from the rest of the world."

Paul George wiped off his sweat and nodded solemnly.

It's not easy to stick to LeBron.

Home team bench.

"Kyrie, your ball on the left should go to LeBron, Kyrie, your ball on the right should go to LeBron, Kyrie..."

Pat, the drink bottle in Kyrie Irving's hand fell to the ground, and Bill elbowed Tyronn Lue, telling him to stop talking.

Tyronn Lue didn't know why, so he wanted to speak again, but LeBron interrupted him: "Coach, how many minutes do I have to play in the fourth quarter?"

Tyronn Lue shook his head helplessly and said: "LeBron, you play too much time, I think..."

"Okay, time is up, let's go!" LeBron interrupted him again, leading the starters back to the field.

Tyronn Lue looked back at Drew's assistant coach: "Did I say that he was not allowed to play at the beginning?"

Drew waved his hand: "Director Lu, please stop controlling his playing time."

Strictly controlling the playing time of one's own ace players has become the signature of coach Tyronn Lue. Neither the player himself, the coaching staff, nor the media can stop him.

9 points is nothing in the eyes of Yuan Qingshan, they still have a full 12 minutes to kill the game.

"Run, run, what are you doing?" LeBron's rough voice came.

The core of the Cavaliers is obviously more anxious than the core of the Lakers, because he has to defend this home court no matter what.

Kevin Love moved back and forth from the high positions on both sides under the command of LeBron. He lost a lot of weight than when he was in the Timberwolves, but he was still slightly bulkier than Downs. From left to right, Love never got rid of Downs' defense.

LeBron stopped the ball near 17.5 degrees on the left. Paul George lowered his center of gravity to prevent LeBron's long shot.

You can say that LeBron James's long shot is not as sharp as his breakthrough, but in hand-to-hand combat, never let him shoot casually, it is tantamount to suicide.

Irving was standing in the corner on the weak side with his waist pinched. James once wanted to hand the ball to him, but he still refused to get close to him, so no matter how concealed and fast James' pass was, there was no way to take this risk.

Coach Tyronn Lue stood in the coaching area with his hands in his pockets, muttering in a low voice: "LeBron is too tired, LeBron should rest."

The Cavaliers' offense stalled for a while, and Cleveland fans panicked. They wanted to make a sound to remind James, but they were afraid of disturbing him.

"Other players should hurry up to respond. LeBron obviously doesn't want to do it alone." O'Neal said.

Among the three commentators, O'Neal does have the most right to speak, because he once served in the Cavaliers and was a teammate of LeBron James.

Mark Jackson: "Murray has almost adapted to Bill's absence of the ball. The Cavaliers need Kyrie Irving to stand up and share a little defensive pressure for LeBron."

O'Neill: "Kyrie looks a little negative, do you feel that?"

Barkley snorted coldly, as long as he criticized Kyrie Irving, he would love to hear it now.

O man!

In 10 seconds, the ball stopped in the hands of LeBron James for a full 8 seconds.

"He's tired. LeBron is tired. Stopping the ball is the best proof. I want him to rest. He must rest." Coach Tyronn Lue waved at his bench like a doll that was suddenly fully wound up.

Assistant coach Drew wanted to pounce on him and press him back.

9 seconds.

As the shot clock dwindles and the basketball spends more and more time in LeBron's hands, the pressure on Paul George is building.

8 seconds.

According to the plot, LeBron James will attack by himself.

Or throw it to a teammate at the last second?
As an old opponent, Paul George feels that he will never answer this question correctly.

7 seconds.

James winked at the corner on the weak side, and Irving stopped after moving a few steps, obviously not wanting to cross the half court to respond.

5 seconds.

"Run!"

James had to yell.

Bill obediently led Murray to run over to meet him.

James handed the ball to Beal and immediately set a pick and roll.

His strong body suddenly blocked Murray behind. Paul George expected this, and made a wrong step towards Bill to block the block.

James couldn't block both Paul George and Murray at once. He only gave Bill a two-second chance.

For an off-ball player, that's enough.

Bill took off, although not high, but the strength transmitted from his feet was very strong. His shot was very fast, and Paul George failed to block it.

but.

A black shadow took off from Bill's face at some point.

Snapped!
With a crisp sound, this three-pointer was slapped away by Yuan Qingshan, who shot out halfway.

Boom, hit the billboard under the technical stage, and rolled to Tai Lunlu's feet.

"Ok?"

It took two seconds for Director Lu's brain to react, and he shouted, "Why don't you look at the defender?"

Bill raised his hands to defend, but in the end he couldn't say a word.

Foul ball, Cavaliers' possession.

Tristan Thompson served, and Irving ran to the sideline to respond.

The assistant coach Drew hurriedly stood up beside Irving and said, "Kyrie, this is the finals, don't play with emotions, don't do things that you regret."

Owen didn't answer, neither affirming nor denying.

Yuan Qingshan took a huge risk with the ball just now. He bet that Bill would not pass the ball to Owen after he got the ball, so he gave up his opponent and came to defend.

Fortunately, the bet was right. In this game, Irving seemed to have disappeared from the Cavaliers' tactical board and lost contact with his teammates.

Wharton and the coaching staff didn't notice this, which doesn't mean Yuan Qingshan didn't notice it.

So he had the opportunity to divert part of his attention to other opponents.

Bill was still in a dazed state, and he felt good about himself the moment he took the ball. The cells in his palm transmitted information to his brain through the nerves, and the ball would definitely go in.

But he didn't have eyes on his palm, so he couldn't warn Yuan Qingshan who came out halfway.

The Lakers destroyed the Cavaliers' first-round offense.

The scene was a bit quiet, and the fans felt that this round seemed to have gone through 100 years.

"Go on!" Tristan Thompson passed the ball to Irving.
