Super Evolution of Basketball

Chapter 589 Kill Zhan tactics?

LeBron James successfully received the ball in front of Paul George. Paul George reached out to poke him, trying to make up for his mistake, but LeBron James just waited for him, turned to the left, and used the rhythm to pass him clean.

Then pull up the ultra-long shot, the basketball flies very fast, the trajectory is smooth, and there is no accidental hit.

Amidst the cheers of the Cavaliers fans, Paul George was a little ashamed. No matter how he played, he still couldn't beat James.

After being traded to the Lakers in the middle of the season, Paul George was confused and unwilling for the first time.

LeBron's three-pointer helped the team close the point difference, 75 to 79, and the Cavaliers were only 4 points behind. The scores of the two teams alternated from the first quarter.

Now because of defensive problems and because of taking care of Kyrie Irving's emotions, he has to be replaced. The Cavaliers' offensive pressure is all on LeBron's side.

Yuan Qingshan looked at the score. The Cavaliers are really resilient tonight. They can always bite at the critical moment. LeBron and Kyrie are indeed difficult guys to deal with.

The Lakers serve.

Yuan Qingshan almost reached the bottom line this time. LeBron James is waiting in the frontcourt. If he leads the defense every round, even his physical fitness can't stand it.

Yuan Qingshan slowly dribbled the ball from the right to the front court, testing LeBron James' movements.

James really started it, Towns quickly raised it to block it, Yuan Qingshan changed direction, took two steps to find the gap, and hit the ground to Whiteside, who was already in the position, and the latter turned over and made a hook.

James asked for the ball directly and started running from the backcourt. Paul George intercepted at the top of the arc. James changed direction slightly and squeezed all the way from Paul George's right side to the basket.

77 to 81, the rhythm suddenly accelerated.

Yuan Qingshan went to the frontcourt, and without waiting for James to switch defenses, he directly transferred to Beverly in a wide range, and Beverly then skipped to Towns.

Love took a step forward and blocked Downs with his body. At the request of coach Tyronn Lue, Love confronted Downs, hoping to stop him, at least to have a deterrent effect.

It's a pity that Towns wasn't afraid at all. The attack time was 5 seconds, Towns shook twice, and then made a fallback jumper.

No!

Towns usually uses his right leg to exert strength. Before the ball was shot, he felt his right knee itch, which caused his trunk to deform and his shot to miss.

Both Towns and Love are in the high position, and there are only two big centers under the basket.

Whiteside and Tristan Thompson took off at the same time, and Whiteside's bounce was even better. After he stopped the ball, he didn't have time to make a direct tip-up. He only needed to find another opportunity to score outside.

Towns was surrounded, Yuan Qingshan was covered by LeBron James, that is to say, Paul George!

What about Paul George?
Whiteside caught the ball to his chest, then swung his arms to prevent Tristan Thompson from trying to grab it.

I searched around and found that Paul George was in a daze on the right wing. His position was not good, and James could catch him as long as he turned around.

But there was no other ideal choice. Whiteside pushed with both arms, and the basketball shot out from his chest like a cannonball.

"Paul!"

The shouts of his teammates brought Paul George back to his senses and realized that this was still in the finals.

He glanced at his feet from the corner of his eye, and it was just outside the three-point line, so he could catch the ball and shoot as soon as he could, and asked for a three-pointer.

The plan was good, but it couldn't keep up with the rapid changes. When the basketball was two steps away from Paul George, a thick figure suddenly flashed in front of his eyes, blocking Whiteside's pass tightly.

O'Neal: "LeBron's steal, the Cavaliers must play fast break, the Lakers don't stand still, hurry back to defense!"

Since LeBron successfully steals, the home fans are overjoyed, and O'Neal's voice will not reach the court at all, and will be drowned out.

Bang bang, dull and fast footsteps sounded, Paul George looked again, LeBron James had passed the center line.

Among the Lakers, only Yuan Qingshan reacted quickly enough to follow him back. Unfortunately, LeBron's speed was too fast. It seemed that Yuan Qingshan could only catch up with him from behind near the penalty area line.

restricted area line!
LeBron James leaped high with a whoosh, grabbing the ball with his right hand and pulling it behind him like a longbow. This is a one-handed battle ax that splits mountains and rubble.

Yuan Qingshan grabbed LeBron's waist from behind, trying to pull him down.

It's a pity that it didn't work. At this time, LeBron James is like a behemoth immune to all external forces, pouring the ball into the basket with the whistling sound of the wind.

Yuan Qingshan lost his balance and fell to the floor.

79 to 81, the whistle sounded, the goal was valid, and there was an additional penalty.

LeBron James let go of his hand, and his tall body fell down. He looked down at Yuan Qingshan, walked directly to the free throw line without saying a word.

Yuan Qingshan looked up at him with a terrifying expression. Is this still the LeBron James who always liked to joke around with him before.

Towns ran over and pulled Yuan Qingshan up, Yuan Qingshan exited the free throw area and looked at LeBron's back.

LeBron adjusted his breathing, mobilized his muscles, and made the free throw steadily.

clang!
Free throw missed.

"F..." LeBron shook his fist angrily, his annoyance palpable.

O'Neal: "Free throws, free throws, what should I say?"

Mark Jackson: "No one is perfect, he will have some weaknesses, it just happens to be free throws, isn't it?"

O'Neal: "You're right. I remember that when his free throw percentage was the lowest, he averaged 66% per game. Then I suggest the Lakers cut James!"

Cutting James means using fouls to destroy the opponent's offensive rounds, sending James to the free throw line in a row, and betting that he misses free throws.

Mark Jackson laughed, knowing it was shark-like dry humor.

In this way, the vigorous goal just now only helped the Cavaliers get two points.

The ball is switched, and it's the Lakers' turn to attack.

Wharton looked at the scoreboard and then at the timer. The third quarter was about to end. There was no need to call a timeout or make a substitution. The two teams were close to each other, and the momentum was evenly matched. It seemed that the highlight of the night was in the fourth quarter. The most important thing was to arrange the personnel and conserve energy.

"Move, move, it's the last ball, we must defend!" James shouted to encourage his teammates, his voice was thick and hoarse, but for some reason, it was so penetrating on this court.

The players of the Cavaliers held their heads high and fought with their backs. This momentum immediately infected tens of thousands of spectators, and the shouts of "defense, defend" sounded all over the court.

"Lakers, come on, Lakers, come on!"

Suddenly there was a shout from the visiting team's bench. Channing Frye and Nick Young stood up and shouted to the field while leaning on each other's shoulders.

Yuan Qingshan smiled bitterly: "How come these two guys are like children."

Before he finished speaking, he flicked his right wrist, and the basketball turned into an orange light and flew towards Downs.

Love was stunned for a while, Towns stepped back and made a jumper, making a two-pointer at the buzzer.

79 to 83, the Lakers entered the fourth quarter of Game 4 of the Finals with a [-]-point lead.
