Chapter 723 The Harvest of Hard Training

"Look at the opponent's state that day! If the long-range shot doesn't feel good, it's not impossible to squeeze through the screen like Iman!" Mike Breen said.

"Well, so I didn't say there was anything wrong with Iman's defense. If you don't try it, how will you know how Ying's long-range shot feels today." Jeff Van Gundy said.

After returning from the timeout, the Cavaliers did not make a substitution, but the Raptors made a substitution first. They replaced Jeremy Lin and Lowry.

"Toronto looks like it's still going to let Jeremy lead the second team!" Mike Breen said.

"Toronto's lineup is very deep. With Jeremy and Kyle at the 1st position, there is no need for the offensive organization to grab it, and he doesn't need him to lead the second team." Jeff Van Gundy said.

Irving dribbled the ball and gave it to James at the top of the arc.

With the help of Mozgov's pick-and-roll, James broke through the inside with the ball, causing a foul by Valanciunas!
James walked to the free throw line, missed the first free throw, and made the second free throw!
The Raptors lead by 9 points at 5:4!
"If Cleveland lets LeBron attack in this way in advance, it will be extremely detrimental to them!" Jeff Van Gundy said.

"Is it too much of a drain on LeBron?" Mike Breen asked.

"Yeah!" Jeff Van Gundy nodded, "Don't you think that if LeBron is not here, this Cavaliers team is actually not that strong?"

Mike Brin nodded approvingly.

Lowry dribbled the ball across half court and gave it to DeRozan who crossed out to catch the ball.

Facing James' defense, DeRozan came to break through with the ball, but he had no chance. He tried to get rid of it with a fake move, but it still didn't work. He could only pass the ball to Amir Johnson in the high position.

Amir Johnson handed the ball to Ying Xiong, and the latter entered from the middle, pushing Shumpert inside.

Love stood outside the penalty area, trying to create an offensive foul by Yingxiong.

However, Ying Xiong took the ball to a place 1 meter away from the penalty area and threw it with his right hand-the ball drew a wonderful arc in the air, flew past Mozgov's fingertips, and then hollowed into the net!

Ying Xiong practiced the technique of throwing and throwing hard last summer, and now he has received rewards. After a season of polishing, he is now very handy when using this technique.

"Bang - such a clever throw! This offense is so smart!" Mike Breen couldn't help but admire.

"The ability to adapt to changing circumstances is really strong. Kevin is also very smart in this shot. He knew that his footsteps were slow and he couldn't keep up with the opponent, so he changed his strategy and blocked the hole without thinking about his own life. But how could he expect such an ending. said Jeff Van Gundy.

The Raptors lead 11:5!

For the Cavaliers, Love fired again from beyond the 3-point line—still nothing!
"In order to open up the offensive space for Kyrie and LeBron, Kevin must be pulled to the outside. Although he can shoot 3 points, it is a bit wasteful to use it simply as a big turret?" Mike Breen said.

Jeff Van Gundy nodded and said: "Kevin has struggled this season, part of the reason is because of the change of role. When he was in Minnesota, he was the number one offensive option in the team, but in Cleveland, he can only be ranked second. 3. He has always been a star player, but now he does not have enough ball possessions to develop his touch. In terms of plug and play, he is not even as good as those role players."

On the Raptors side, DeRozan rushed to the basket and scored the ball to Lowry on the outside. The latter shot a 3-pointer-missed!

Love received the rebound, and made a direct four-point pass from the backcourt, looking for James, who was in front of him.

Ying Xiong made a foul.

"This is Kevin's characteristics, defensive rebounds and a pass!" Jeff Van Gundy said.

On the Cavaliers side, Irving cut to the basket with a dazzling dribble and made a difficult hit!

"Good shot! Carey's offense is so comfortable to watch!" Mike Breen sighed.

"Kyrie's offensive ability with the ball really makes people jealous!" Jeff Van Gundy laughed.

Lowry dribbled the ball and gave it to Ying Xiong on the right.

With the help of Amir Johnson's pick-and-roll, Ying Xiong changed direction and cut into the inside line, and passed the ball to the latter. The latter did not pause after receiving the ball and directly forcibly attacked the basket.

The Cavaliers' Mozgov interfered with the long arm, and the ball did not hit.

Ying Xiong picked melons on Love's head, and then caused a foul by James, who was assisting in the defense.

Ying Xiong walked to the free throw line and made two free throws steadily!

13:7, the gap between the two sides is still 6 points.

In the next game, because the Cavaliers' Love could not find the touch outside the 3-point line, it also indirectly affected the team's offensive space. It was also much more difficult for James and Irving to break through.

The Cavaliers replaced James in the first quarter.

"Jeff, Cleveland seems to want LeBron to lead the second team!" Mike Breen said.

Jeff Van Gundy nodded and said, "Cleveland tried Kyrie and Kevin in the regular season, but it didn't work."

The scores of the two sides have not been forced close, and soon the game entered the rotation stage.

The rotation lineup for the Raptors is Jeremy Lin, DeRozan, Terrence Ross, Patterson and Hansbrough; the rotation lineup for the Cavaliers is Matthew Dellavedova, JR Smith, James, James Jones and Tristan Thompson.

James' ability to lead the team is really strong. In the competition between the second teams of the two sides, the Cavaliers recovered some points.It forced Coach Casey to send Yingxiong to the field not long after the start of the second quarter.

"LeBron's ability to lead the team is really outstanding!" Mike Breen praised.

"In LeBron's team, as long as there are pitchers and space, he can make the team's offense very good. Next, it's up to him to compete with Ying to see who can have the upper hand at this stage." Jay Husband Van Gundy said.

When Ying Xiong came on the court, the second quarter had just lasted 2 minutes, and the score at this time was 2:29, and the Cavaliers had caught up to only 27 points.

Jeremy Lin slowly dribbled the ball over, and the Cavaliers' Australian guard Dellavedova rushed over with his teeth and claws, defending like biting.

"The player Matthew, under the guidance of David, can be regarded as playing well." Mike Breen said.

"Both Matthew and Jeremy were undrafted, and they're both out now." Jeff Van Gundy nodded.

Defending Yingxiong is the "nervous knife" of the Cavaliers-JR Smith.

It is said that after JR came to the Cavaliers, he didn't know whether he was right with the boss or what, his mind suddenly returned to basketball, and he became the team's most stable shooter at the 2nd position.
