Super Evolution of Basketball

Chapter 581 Empty pick-up, failure!
In the fifth game between the Lakers and the Cavaliers, at the Quicken Loans Center, the Cavaliers' home court, the Lakers held the match point with a score of 3-1.

O'Neill: "This score seems familiar. Last year, there seemed to be such a team that turned around from 1 to 3."

Mark Jackson smiled knowingly.

But Barkley replied quickly: "Isn't that the Cavaliers, a 1-3 comeback, and killed the super team that won 73 games in the regular season, the Golden State Warriors. This is really legendary. The background version of the Warriors should be recorded in history."

"Ah!" As soon as Barkley finished speaking, a tall, well-armed man in the southeast auditorium couldn't help but sneezed.

The man next to him, who was also dressed in a strict manner, asked, "Stephen, do you have a cold?"

The guy named Stephen rubbed his nose: "I don't know. Could it be that we caught a cold when we went hiking yesterday? Are there any mistakes? It's already June."

The companion used this opportunity to ridicule: "Is the famous Stephen Curry so poor in physique?"

"Hey, keep your voice down, I told the team to go surfing in the Maldives, and it's over if the media finds out."

Warriors star Stephen Curry pulled down his baseball cap again, dissatisfied with Klay Thompson with a mustache next to him.

Thompson said with a smile: "I think you are just embarrassed to be exposed by the media, so you secretly watched the Cavaliers game?"

Curry: "You!"

Don't tell the truth if you see through it, stay a line in life, understand?

"Hush!" At this time, the fans on the other side raised their index fingers at Curry: "Please, can you stop arguing all the time, I worked several jobs outside of class to save enough money to afford tickets to the Finals. This is the first time I saw an NBA superstar live. Don't disturb my viewing experience?"

"It's not easy to meet a superstar, isn't it the one sitting next to you?" Klay Thompson muttered.

Fan: "Huh?"

Curry quickly said: "Sorry, brother, let's just shut up."

"Hiss!" The fan made a zip movement on his lips.

"Well, if you are a student, the tickets for this location are quite expensive." Klay Thompson muttered: "But it's the first time I heard that I came to watch the game live, and I was afraid of being disturbed by the noise."

Curry said with a smile: "Come on, it's not that you are afraid of being disturbed by the sound at all. People just think that you are annoying."

"Hiss, hiss!" The fans zipped up repeatedly angrily, but they didn't recognize the person sitting next to them.

If he knew he could sit next to Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson for two hours and watch the Finals together, then he would definitely think the ticket was worth it.

In the first quarter, the scores of the two sides were tight, and the Lakers have been able to lead, but the advantage has not yet reached the level where people can breathe a sigh of relief.

After LeBron James played in the second quarter, the temperament of the Cavaliers has changed a lot. The ball is concentrated in the hands of James, which can better clarify the team's thinking.

Less than the last minute of the first half, James rushed forward with the ball, and the defender Paul George did not dare to attack rashly and waited for an opportunity.

Channing Frye seems to be struggling on the defensive end. He is much lighter than Tristan Thompson, and there is also a gap in bounce and speed. He is obviously at a disadvantage when he is in the basket.

Tristan Thompson leaned back, blocking Frye.

After LeBron James observed it, he suddenly flicked the dribbler upwards, the brown streamer flashed, and the basketball went straight to the Lakers basket, but it was obviously much higher.

Barkley: "Is this... a super high rebound shot with a swinging arm?"

O'Neal looked at him like an idiot.

There is no such strange and irresponsible shooting posture in the world. James is obviously an alley-oop!

Tristan Thompson jumped with joy.

Channing Frye looked up at the basket. He didn't even jump, because he knew it was useless to jump up, and maybe he would foul.

"No, no, no..." Channing Frye prayed.

Is this kind of short-distance air-catching still possible?
unless……

Whoosh, the basketball slid between Tristan Thompson's palms at a super high speed.

Missed the ball!

"Empty, fail, empty, fail..."

Tristan Thompson had those words on his mind.

"Haha!" came Channing Frye's mocking voice.

The basketball hit the backboard with a bang, bounced back hard and evenly, and fell right into Channing Frye's hands.

Channing Frye didn't care about being happy, and directly dumped it to Yuan Qingshan.

LeBron James patted his chest on Tristan Thompson: My mistake, the pass was too strong.

Tristan Thompson raised his arms in embarrassment and ran back to defend. He knew in his heart that this was not LeBron's mistake, it was just that he didn't react fast enough.

The Lakers counterattacked to the front court, Yuan Qingshan tried to pass Kyrie Irving from the left, Irving gritted his teeth and followed closely, but failed.

So it was distributed to Jamal Murray at the top of the arc.

Murray hesitated in the face of Bill's defense, did not dare to shoot directly, and then passed it to Jeff Green on the high post on the right.

Time is running out, Jeff Green has a mid-range, so under the defense of Love, he simply asked for a quick two-pointer.

Love had no time to block the shot, and Green made a hit and scored the 12th point of the game, surpassing the finals scoring average.

The Cavaliers didn't delay at all. They changed their style of play. LeBron James went to the frontcourt first, and he gave the ball to Irving.

Irving dribbles upfield on the right side, then picks up speed to the left, tries to cut across the half court, and then initiates the attack at an appropriate point in the middle.

Owen's speed is very fast, and his dribbling ability is not to mention. As long as he does not stop the ball and directly launches it, Yuan Qingshan will also struggle to defend.

At the 45.67-degree angle on the left wing, Irving wanted a three-pointer. Yuan Qingshan was 1 second slower and did not interfere.

The goal is scored and the audience cheers.

The scorer jumped, but it was a two-point step on the line. Owen shook his head regretfully.

Yuan Qingshan's defense put a lot of pressure on him, so he hesitated for a moment just now. To be on the safe side, he unconsciously took a small half step forward, but in the end he lost a point.

The speed of both sides in these two rounds was very fast, leaving the Lakers with the last offensive round.

At 21 seconds, Yuan Qingshan took the serve from the baseline and suppressed the rhythm, but now he dribbled the ball across the half court in a calm manner.

He wants to use up these 21 seconds and not give the Cavaliers a chance to attack.

Owen was waiting at the top of the arc, when Bradley Beal on the right suddenly rushed over.

Owen was taken aback, Bill ran directly towards Yuan Qingshan, there was no chance to explain.

At this time, the voice of No. 23 sounded behind the ear: "Turn around, strengthen the confrontation, we will fight a defensive counterattack!"

So Bradley Beal's sudden attack was instructed by LeBron James?

"No. 23 doesn't believe my defense!" This is Owen's first feeling.

Bill rushed towards Yuanqingshan. According to Tyronn Lue's previous arrangement, Owen should defend him for him.

But the complicated psychological activities made Owen pause for a while, and Jamal Murray in the second position just took advantage of this opportunity to run to the flank and get an open seat.
