Super Evolution of Basketball

Chapter 564 What a headache!

LeBron James was speechless, he looked at Tristan Thompson, then at Kevin Love, said nothing, turned his head and ran to the backcourt to prepare for defense.

Absolutely can't let the point difference continue to widen. From now on, every round must be grasped, otherwise, if the momentum is always on the Lakers' side, there is no way to turn this game around.

"Can there be another 1-3 reversal?"

LeBron James has asked himself that more than once these days.

To be honest, he has no idea. This Lakers team is different from last year's Warriors team. The Lakers' shooting is not as good as the Warriors, but they are more tenacious, and their fist-to-flesh style of play is easier to defeat.

The rebound that Whiteside almost picked up under the basket was finally converted by Yuan Qingshan into a score. Kyrie Irving failed to guard him, and he got into the basket. Not only did he make a layup, but he almost made a foul by Tristan.

LeBron James said to Kevin Love with a wrong body: "Kevin, you have to be tougher and play an advantage before Towns returns to the court."

Only then did Love suddenly realize that LeBron just wanted to kill the basket by himself, not pass to the basket.

"It's all because Tristan's acting is so similar!" Le Fu muttered in his heart, and ran to the front court.

When passing by the Lakers bench, Love subconsciously looked over and found that Towns's face was really not good-looking, and he sat there obediently, without the usual lively and chattering appearance.

How can Love say that he was a team leader before, and he still understands these things on the basketball court. After thinking about it, he understood that there must be a reason for Downs to rest for so long. It seems that he is not feeling well.

So LeBron is right, the next important task for the Cavaliers will be handed over to himself.

The Cavaliers attacked, LeBron James ignored Kyrie Irving's request for the ball, and directly stuffed the ball firmly to Kevin Love.

Love resisted Jeff Green and sat down powerfully inward step by step. Jeff Green responded with all his strength. Although Love was constantly approaching the inside, it also consumed a lot of offensive time.

Commentary seat.

"See, this is the consequence of losing weight. When you want to sit and play like an insider, you find that you have no strength at all!" Barkley said.

O'Neill: "Don't mention the matter of sitting and playing. Since Kevin Love came to the Cavaliers, he has drifted more and more outside. How can he look like an insider now?"

Mark Jackson: "Kevin Love's transformation cannot be completely denied. The Cavaliers won the championship last year and reached the finals again this year. Judging from the results, it is still valuable for Love to become a space-type insider."

O'Neal: "You're right, Mark, there are pros and cons, right?"

Mark Jackson: "Before sending them out of the Eastern Conference, it was always beneficial. Now meeting the Lakers can only be said to be a loophole, but running a team has always been so complicated. After all, everyone can't be like LeBron, right?"

Love arched the ball just now for more than ten seconds, but he still couldn't help but shoot one. Jeff Green failed to interfere with his opponent as he imagined.

It's a pity that Love's touch is still not good. The ball hit the back of the basket. Last time he used too little force, but this time he used too much force.

Anyway, Love finally understood what he meant, LeBron James encouraged the big white man, and then continued to put his full power into the defense.

Paul George, who was playing against James, didn't score much tonight. He spent most of his energy on LeBron James, but James never relaxed his vigilance for a second. While completing his defensive tasks on the court, he also had to take care of other teammates.

Assistant coach Drew looked at James with a little more unbearable eyes. Maybe Coach Tyronn Lue is right. LeBron is too tired. Every minute he plays, he has to do what other people can do for 1 minutes.

Maybe this is the superstar!

Drew looked up and looked at the score again, LeBron James has given up everything, and the team is still behind by double digits, which is enough to show that the superstar is not only on his side.

The Lakers also have someone who plays like a superstar, and that is Yuan Qingshan!

"What a headache child!" Assistant Coach Drew pinched his brows. The long-term tension overwhelmed them and made them itchy.

LeBron James' intention was quickly grasped by Yuan Qingshan, and he asked for a timeout on his own initiative.

Back on the bench, Yuan Qingshan sat directly beside Downs.

"Carl, what's wrong with you?" Yuan Qingshan asked.

Downs looked blank, then lowered his head.

Yuan Qingshan sensed that something was wrong, and asked the team doctor with his eyes. The team doctor pulled him aside and explained a few words.

Towns felt a slight pain in his right knee in the first half, but he didn't pay much attention until the first half of the third quarter, when Love's foul action made the pain worse.

The team doctor reported to Coach Walton immediately, and they agreed that the old injury Towns left in February showed signs of recurrence, so Coach Walton kept him off the court.

Yuan Qingshan looked at Downs. This guy was abnormally quiet at the moment, not at all like himself. It seemed that the situation was indeed serious.

The team doctor whispered: "I'm going to take Carl for a checkup, but he won't say anything, and I'm not sure if he will be able to play for the rest of the game."

Yuan Qingshan nodded, then returned to Downs's side, put his arms around his shoulders and said, "Don't worry, I assure you, we will definitely win this game. In that case, it will be the last game for us to win the championship. How about you go on the court and kill the Cavaliers to nothing?"

"I want to shatter the basketball dreams of the people of Cleveland with my own hands!" Towns said suddenly with his eyes wide open.

"That's right, that's it, leave the rest to me!"

After Yuan Qingshan finished speaking, he stood up and walked onto the field with Jeff Green in his arms.

"Carl is not feeling well, not sure if he can play in the fourth quarter, we have to prepare for the worst, Jeff, I'm afraid you have to stick to the end of the game."

Jeff Green replied in a muffled voice: "No problem!"

Yuan Qingshan patted him on the shoulder: "Good job, the Cavaliers will most likely focus on Love in the future. You must defend harder and not let him go to the basket."

Jeff Green nodded, he already had a certain understanding of Love's ways, and now it is not so easy for Love to force himself.

After the timeout, it was the Cavaliers' ball.

At this time, Tyronn Lue replaced LeBron James, Bill got the ball, and made a pick-and-roll with Love after halftime, Love went down, and Bill passed the ball in time.

Irving, who was on the right wing, shook his hand in disappointment. He thought that after 23 was not on the court, he would be the only offensive point for the Cavaliers.

Just after Love had a luck, the figure of Jeff Green appeared in front of him.
