Super Evolution of Basketball

Chapter 588 Paul's Burnout

The timeout ended and the game continued. The Cavaliers made an unexpected change. They replaced Kyrie Irving with a third point guard who had never played.

O'Neill couldn't understand: "What's going on, how can they prevent Yuan Qingshan from messing around like this?"

After all, Mark Jackson had been a head coach, looked around and said: "I guess the trump card is against the trump card."

O'Neal: "You mean LeBron?"

Mark Jackson nodded. Generally, when it comes to hand-to-hand combat, LeBron James will take the initiative to deal with the opponent's ace player.

Just now it was LeBron's interception that knocked the ball out of the baseline, the ball belonged to the Lakers, Yuan Qingshan wanted the ball, LeBron James immediately blocked it.

Mark Jackson's guess was right, LeBron James must defend Yuan Qingshan.

O'Neill: "This may be the biggest challenge Yuan Qingshan has encountered in his career."

Mark Jackson: "The Cavaliers are no different from gambling. They replaced Irving, and they lost a good attack point for nothing."

O'Neal: "That's right, isn't it enough to go down in defense? Why do you have to take Kyrie Irving down?"

Mark Jackson: "Probably because of Irving's spirit, he may not be able to accept the need for the boss of the team to help him defend. Besides, before LeBron came back, he was always the boss of the Cavaliers."

Barkley, who had been watching Irving upset, suddenly said, "Boss? Then you must be referring to the boss who led the team to win the No. [-] pick year after year."

O'Neill and Mark Jackson didn't answer. What Barkley said was true, but it would be a bit detrimental to say it at this juncture.

Cavaliers halftime.

Whiteside found that James was defending Yuan Qingshan, and immediately hesitated. He was not sure whether the ball could be passed to Yuan Qingshan smoothly.

Yuan Qingshan felt the struggle of his teammates, so he had to lead LeBron James to the wing.

"Smart choice." LeBron highly praised Yuan Qingshan's act of understanding current affairs.

Yuan Qingshan smiled helplessly, it seemed that this guy would not easily give him a chance to participate in the attack.

At present, the Lakers have Beverly and Paul George on the outside. Beverly's organizational skills are average, and Paul George is not an organizational striker.

This is one of the weaknesses of the Lakers. Apart from Yuan Qingshan, they do not have a second excellent organizer.

Whiteside gave the ball to Beverly, and Bill on the opposite side defended beyond the three-point line. He was still very confident facing Beverly, just cut off his passing route.

The Lakers came to a standstill for a moment, Yuan Qingshan shouted tactics and urged his teammates to move quickly.

Towns mentioned that the right wing was going to do a pick-and-roll for Beverly. Under the position change, Beverly stopped the two Cavaliers defenders.

When Beverly stopped the two defenders, he was also double-teamed. Towns was very successful. Unfortunately, Beverly was shaking up and down, but he couldn't pass the ball.

Yuan Qingshan didn't care about LeBron James' defense anymore, so he had to come over to respond.

Unexpectedly, before he arrived, the ball was taken away by the Cavaliers' third point guard.

"Damn it, damn it, damn it!" Beverly yelled angrily.

James suddenly ran away from Yuan Qingshan, received a pass from his teammate, and quickly made a fast break, single-handedly, smashing vigorously!

There seems to be a button in the basket of the Quicken Loans Center. Every dunk by LeBron James can detonate the audience, and tens of thousands of people explode together.

O'Neill applauded: "Coach Tyronn Lue still has a way. They caught the Lakers by surprise. I think Coach Wharton needs to call a timeout. Yuan Qingshan can't touch the ball, so what else is there to play?"

This round went too fast, and Whiteside hadn't quite realized what was going on, and the opponent scored a goal, and he ran to serve with his head sullen.

Damn it, LeBron James is sticking to Yuan Qingshan again!
Now Whiteside can't wait to rush out to make an off-ball screen for Yuan Qingshan, and clean up the tape-like LeBron James.

Yuan Qingshan wanted to use his footsteps to get rid of LeBron James. He even used the "three-stage acceleration" skill, but unfortunately it didn't work. It seemed that a magnet was tied to his body, and James was firmly attracted to the left and right.

Yuan Qingshan took away the biggest threat on the field again, and then gave Paul George a wink.

Paul George understood and rushed over to catch the ball.

If there is one way for the Lakers to solve the problem, it is Paul George.

LeBron James came to defend Yuan Qingshan, and Paul George naturally had to switch defenses.

Since the first game of the series, he has been shrouded in the shadow of James, and he can finally catch his breath until the fifth match point.

Whiteside gave the ball to Paul George, and the defender tried very hard to intercept it, but it may be bad luck, or a little weaker, but it failed.

After Paul George took the ball, he rushed all the way and felt the breeze on his cheek. He felt that he had returned to Indiana, when he led the team to challenge the big devil in the East.

The spotlight came back to him. Is this the feeling of the attention that has been forgotten?
Paul George was almost intoxicated, dribbling the ball to the top of the arc, regardless of the defender, he pulled up and shot.

That's how I shot one long shot after another, even a lore.

Swish, hit.

"Haha!" Paul George laughed out loud, I'm still the same Paul George!

The impactful and unreasonable goal brought Paul George back to a few years ago, and it also made him re-examine his experience after joining the Lakers for a moment.

He realized that since coming to the Lakers, he had lost himself little by little, becoming a defender who had to fight the opponent's core on the defensive end to exhaustion every night.

He began to lose possession of the ball little by little, and lost the opportunity to finish the attack...

"Hey, Paul, don't slip away!" Yuan Qingshan's voice came from behind his ear.

Paul George turned around and saw that LeBron James had already passed the middle circle, and he quickly chased after him.

The ball was in Bill's hands, LeBron James rushed over to meet it, Paul George followed closely, and if James wanted to get rid of it, a collision was inevitable.

"When will this guy grow old?"

With every collision, Paul George felt like he was hitting a thick wall.

In another split second, he had the idea that he was tired of putting all his energy on the defensive end every night, doing the dirty work.

Slap, LeBron James received the ball, Paul George quickly forced himself to come out of his imagination, stretched out his right hand to poke the ball, LeBron James seemed to be waiting for him, turned to the left, and passed him cleanly.

Super long shot, hit.

Amidst the cheers of the Cavaliers fans, Paul George was a little ashamed.
