Chapter 724 The Dominance of Alliance No.1

Jeremy Lin used the cover to break through Ying Xiong who was on the outside.

Ying Xiong faced JR and took the ball to the right to break through.

JR's physical fitness is very good. He even participated in the slam dunk contest back then, but when it comes to defense, he has always been mediocre and has many bad habits.

Ying Xiong took the ball to the right, with the help of Hansbrough's cover, directly cut into the inside, facing Tristan Thompson, dodged in the air, changed hands and made a layup!
"Strike!" exclaimed Mike Breen.

"JR and Kyrie are the same in many ways. It's okay to defend alone, but it's easy to get dizzy once you encounter a cover." Jeff Van Gundy explained.

At 31:27, the point difference came to 4 points again.

On the Cavaliers' side, James rushed to the basket and scored outside JR, who directly made a 3-pointer-and there were!
Only 1 points left!

"JR is a crazy knife. When he is not crazy, he is really a good outside shooter!" Mike Breen said with a smile.

"JR is a very good 3-point shooter, quick, high, and strong," Jeff Van Gundy explained.

The fans of the home team at the scene became a little nervous. The second lineup of the Cavaliers looked too terrifying in offensive ability. Under the leadership of James, players like JR and Dellavedova played such an outstanding performance.

Jeremy Lin dribbled over, picked and rolled with Hansbrough, and directly forced Tristan Thompson with the ball.

Tristan Thompson fouled by a thug at the basket!Jeremy Lin walks to the free throw line!
"Tristan still has some problems with protecting the frame. When facing the opponent's defender breaking through, the effect of protecting the basket is not particularly good!" Mike Breen said.

"No matter how he can jump, the height is only 6 feet 9, and Timo Phoebe, who is 7 feet 1, is not as good as the opponent in terms of rim protection. His advantages are offensive rebounds and moving speed, and he can switch guards and wings. ’ explained Jeff Van Gundy.

Jeremy Lin made two free throws, and the Raptors took a 33-point lead again at 30:3!
The offensive thinking of the Cavaliers' second team is very clear, that is, James suddenly points to the outside shooter to make the ball.In the four years of the Heat, he has gradually established the ace attack lineup of "self + shooter".The advantage of this lineup lies in the sense of space and grasp.Even if the shooter is not in good condition, he can rely on his personal ability to score or kill the opponent when he has space.

Dellavedova dribbled the ball and gave it to James at the horn.

Facing the defense of the corresponding hero, James turned his back and chiseled in, and then divided JR on the outside.

JR received the ball completely ignoring Terrence Ross's defense, and directly shot a 3-pointer-not this time!
"JR shoots 3-pointers as he likes! Hahaha..." Mike Brin said with a smile.

"JR has this kind of personality. When he wants to shoot, he doesn't pass it to anyone present." Jeff Van Gundy said.

Ying Xiong received the rebound and pushed forward with the ball. Facing JR's defense, he changed direction continuously with his crotch, accelerated, passed the opponent directly, squeezed past James Jones' defense at the basket, and succeeded in smashing and dunking with one hand!
"Bang—responsive dunk!" Mike Breen explained passionately.

"JR has not performed very well when defending the opponent's breakthrough. This is why he is not suitable for defending the speed 1 position! James Jones' role at the basket is really not as good as Matthew at times!" Jeff Van Gundy sighed.

The point difference was widened to 5 points!Cavaliers coach David Blatt requests a timeout!

There were cheers at the scene, and the dunk of Ying Xiong, the MVP of the regular season for three consecutive times, immediately caused a commotion in the arena.

After returning from the timeout, both sides made personnel adjustments.For the Raptors, Hansbrough was off and Valanciunas was on; for the Cavaliers, Irving and Love also returned, replacing Dellavedova and James Jones.

The game continues.

On the Cavaliers' side, Irving scored from the outside to James, who scored 2 times to Love, who was outside the 3-point line in the left corner.

Love's 3-point gun outside the line - still not there!

But TT has offensive rebounds!
TT grabs the offensive rebound and then forces the basket - still not!
TT is another offensive rebound, and this time he is strong again, and he is served by Valanciunas!
Jeremy Lin got the ball and counterattacked with the ball, but was destroyed by Irving's tactical foul!
There was screaming at the scene, and everyone was applauding for Valanciunas' block just now.

"Tristan's offensive rebounding is really good, but his finishing ability is too rough!" Mike Breen said shaking his head.

"Tristan's offensive rebounds per game has ranked first in the playoffs so far this season. If he has a good finishing ability, the Cavaliers' offensive efficiency will improve a lot." Jeff Van Gundy said .

For the Raptors, Ying Xiong held the ball from outside and faced JR. After a pick-and-roll, he made a no-look pass and passed it to Patterson on the outside. The latter made a precise sniper from outside the 3-point line!
At 38:30, the Raptors widened the point difference to 8 points!
"It's also 3 open points and 3 points, Patrick is more stable than Kevin!" Mike Brin sighed.

"In fact, in terms of average 3-point shooting percentage per game, Patrick is higher than Kevin. In terms of shooting open 3-pointers alone, Kevin is not better than Patrick. Kevin's advantage lies in his rebounding and offensive comprehensiveness. His single skill Nothing but top rebounding in the league," Jeff Van Gundy said.

"This ball should play a pick-and-roll with Patrick, and the purpose is to target JR and Kevin?" Mike Breen asked.

"Well, it's like this. Both JR and Kevin are players who are relatively weak in defense against pick-and-rolls. When the two of them get together and meet such a ball-handling master, they must pay some price." Jeff Van Gundy said.

For the Raptors, Love continues to have no open 3 points...

"Is Kevin unbelieving?" Mike Breen said in surprise.

"It can't be helped! The more you can't shoot, the more the opponent will let you go. If you don't shoot, the opponent's defensive center of gravity will be shifted to Kyrie and LeBron. If Cleveland plays well, Kevin's 3 points Definitely drive," Jeff Van Gundy explained.

Ying Xiong came over with the ball and continued to pick and roll with Patterson.His ability to seize opportunities is really excellent. If JR and Love delay the pick-and-roll communication a little bit, he can find opportunities.

Ying Xiong passed directly between Love and JR, and went straight to the inside. Facing Mozgov and James, who was helping to defend, he didn't look at people with one hand, and directly threw a pass from the right corner to outside the 3-point line. Terrence Ross, who caught the ball and made a 3-pointer-hit!
The point difference in this game was widened to double digits for the first time, and the Cavaliers continued to suspend!
The scene was completely boiling. Yingxiong's dominance in the second quarter made the fans of the home team feel extra comfortable. It was really cool!
