Chapter 787 Perfect Performance

In the second quarter, the offensive efficiency of both teams was very good, but because of DeRozan's recovery on the offensive end, the Raptors were still able to maintain their advantage.At halftime, they led the Cavaliers by 2 points.

During the intermission.

"Mark, the game is getting more and more exciting. After DeMar's attack resumed, it gave Ying a great boost!" Mike Breen said.

"Yeah, if Toronto's offense really depends on one person, the opponent's Big 3 is really too tiring for him. DeMar is a two-time All-Star player, and his previous performance is no longer a matter of strength. It’s a psychological problem. It seems that they have communicated internally, and he is obviously much more confident this time.” Mark Jackson said.

Section 3 will soon begin.

Jeremy Lin slowly dribbled the ball over.

The Cavaliers still let JR defend Yingxiong and let James defend DeRozan.

"Cleveland didn't allow LeBron to defend, probably to let him save his energy!" Mike Breen said.

"There should be this consideration. I think another possibility is the adaptability of the opposing players. LeBron has a lot of weight. When defending alone, he is more afraid of opponents with excellent lateral movement and fast speed. It should be higher than DeMar, but it is faster, so it is relatively better for JR to defend." Mark Jackson explained.

"But JR went to defend and let Ying score 24 points in the first half!" Mike Breen said with a smile.

"There is no way around it. Ying can get high scores under anyone's defense. Do you remember the PG in the first round? He is a player who was selected to the best defensive team, but he still can't limit Ying." Jackson said.

Jeremy Lin suddenly scored outside Patterson, who made a 3-pointer-missed!
For the Cavaliers, James made a 3-point shot from the top of the arc on the left wing-none!

Looking back, DeRozan missed a jumper when he turned over, and Irving's jumper was blocked by Jeremy Lin and went out of the sideline...

At the beginning of the third quarter, the two teams fell into the blacksmithing, as if the touch fell in the lounge during the intermission.

Irving held the ball on the left wing, dribbled the ball continuously, used the change of direction and the shift of the center of gravity to get an opportunity, and cut to the basket for a difficult layup-but Ying Xiong, who was assisted by the defense, was directly pressed on the backboard...

Ying Xiong took off twice, took the ball and gave it to Jeremy Lin to advance.

"It's really brave enough to let go of LeBron for this ball!" Mike Brin said with a smile.

"There's nothing to be afraid of. With Kerry's passing vision, it's hard for him to see LeBron in that position. Even if the pass passes, LeBron's catch and jumper ability is just that!" Mark Jackson Said.

Jeremy Lin pushed forward and gave it to Ying Xiong who followed up.

Ying Xiong faced JR with a crossover, directly passed the opponent cleanly, cut into the inside line, faced Love who was trying to make an offensive foul on himself, made a decelerated jump, passed by the opponent, and then dunked with one hand !

"Bang-Ying's dunk opened the gap to 13 points!" Mike Breen explained passionately.

"With this kind of body control ability, it is not easy to draw a foul on him!" Mark Jackson exclaimed.

"Kevin's defensive judgment just now was actually accurate. When the opponent came in at a high speed, with his ability to protect the frame, it is estimated that he would only provide Ying with a 2+1 chance." Mike Breen said.

"Well, Kevin knows his own shortcomings, and his judgment is fine, but this method can only be used against ordinary players, and it is almost useless against opponents." Mark Jackson said.

For the Cavaliers, James used the pick-and-roll to forcibly kill the inside line. Facing Biyombo, he made a European layup and scored with difficulty!

"LeBron wants to score, and he can still do it, but it consumes too much for him!" Mike Breen said.

Jeremy Lin dribbled the ball over and gave it to Ying Xiong, who was on the right waist and backed up.

Ying Xiong faced JR with his back, and with a fake turn around, he deceived the opponent. He took advantage of the situation and smeared into the restricted area from the bottom line. Facing Love, he completely ignored the existence of the opponent, and Gu himself dunked with a one-handed tomahawk!
"Bang—responsive dunk! It's a blast!" Mike Breen explained passionately.

"JR's defensive habits are too bad, he will eat any fake moves!" Mark Jackson was speechless.

For the Cavaliers, Irving made an emergency stop for a jumper-missed!
Ying Xiong received the rebound by himself, pushed it over, and gave it to DeRozan who was about to get off on the move, and the latter made a high-speed layup!
The point difference was widened to 15 points, and coach Tai Lue on the sidelines requested a timeout!
"Mark, why didn't Cleveland respond in a pinch?" Mike Brin asked.

"It's not that they don't want to flank, but they didn't find a good opportunity. He didn't use the pick-and-roll, and he turned his back to ask for the ball in the half-court position. At this time, he can easily find an open teammate. When switching offenses , it is even more difficult to pinch!" Mark Jackson explained.

Relying on Yingxiong's 18 points and 3 assists in a single quarter, the Raptors ended the third quarter with a 20-point advantage.

In the final quarter of the game, the Cavaliers once narrowed the point difference to only 11 points by virtue of Irving's singles and James' breakthrough points.At this time, Ying Xiong stood up. He made consecutive shots, scored consecutive points, and then assisted his teammates to open the point difference to 22 points again.At this point, the game lost its suspense.

In the end, the Raptors defeated the Cavaliers in an away game, won the crucial G2, and tied the big score of the series to 1:1.

After winning the game, the Raptors also successfully grabbed home court advantage.The victory of a game has many meanings, which shows the importance of this game.

应雄全场砍下48分12个篮板7个助攻4个抢断3个盖帽，没有出现1次失误，完美的表现帮助球队客场取胜。

After winning G2 in the Eastern Conference finals, new changes have taken place in the prediction of this round of the series. Many media reporters once again regarded the Raptors as the team most likely to break through in the Eastern Conference.

Regarding the disturbance from the outside world, the Raptors, as a dynasty team that has won the championship for three consecutive seasons in the past, will naturally not be affected by this kind of unnutritious news.They are still playing according to their game plan, trying to win the fourth championship trophy.

On May 5, Game 22 of the Eastern Conference Finals will move to Toronto and be played at the Air Canada Center, home of the Raptors.For the Raptors, returning home to play G3 with a victory is naturally the best result.

For both sides, the importance of this game is no less than the previous one.Whoever wins this game will win the initiative in the series.

On the west side of the battlefield, the Warriors and the Thunder have also tied the score 1:1.At least from the current point of view, it is not very clear which two teams will advance to the finals.
