Chapter 861

Pause back, the game continues.

For the Cavaliers, the tactic for coming back from a timeout is to pull away and let Irving beat Jeremy Lin one-on-one on the weak side.They played a small lineup with Love as the center, and all five of them have shooting ability, so the offensive space can be widened.

Irving scored with a skillful and cool dribble and an emergency stop jumper!

The point difference returned to 12 points again!
The fans of the home team at the scene let out a sigh of relief. You must know that this goal is very important. Because Ying Xiong scored 5 points in a row before, the morale of the Raptors has just risen. fluctuate.

"Kyrie is really a player with a big heart. In terms of ability to hold the ball one-on-one, there are really not many No. 1 players in the league who are better than him." Mike Breen said.

"Well, Kyrie's offense with the ball is really good, basically ignoring defense. With him, LeBron has also shared a lot of offensive tasks." Jeff Van Gundy said.

Jeremy Lin slowly dribbled the ball across half court.

Ying Xiong came out and tried to catch the ball, but JR defended extremely tightly, and began to exert pressure without the ball.

Ying Xiong and Jeremy Lin handed each other, and then gave him a look.

Richard Jefferson came up to help JR pinch Ying Xiong, the two of them were menacing, and the other party passed between them just now, which made them feel very humiliated.

Ying Xiong suddenly changed direction, and the duo who attracted the pincers fought a cold war, and immediately pushed forward.

Ying Xiong made a horizontal pass with one hand, and the ball accurately landed in the hands of Jeremy Lin outside the 3-point line at the top of the arc.

Jeremy Lin didn't split the ball again this time. Facing the open space, he confidently made a 3-pointer-hit!
The difference is in the single digits!
"Bang——Jeremy hit a 3-pointer! Ying and Jeremy played the 'Yellow Race Connection', hahaha..." Mike Breen explained with a smile.

"This ball really fully reflects the tacit understanding between Ying and Jeremy. I really like this. He will flexibly adjust his offense according to the situation on the court. When to attack by himself, whether to attack or feint, when to attack? Passing the ball, whether it is passing inside or outside, the thinking is very clear. Jeremy was hit by Kyrie in the previous defensive round, and he used his restraint to help this teammate with the same skin color as himself create a very Good 3-point shot!" Jeff Van Gundy explained.

On the Cavaliers side, Irving is still on the weak side holding the ball and singles Jeremy Lin.But this time he missed his jumper!

"Jeremy defended very hard and was very smart. He was not fooled by Kyrie's fake moves, kept in front of the opponent, and then kept interfering, but he never lost his calm and fouled once." Husband Van Gundy praised.

Ying Xiong held the ball and played a transition, but found that there was no chance in the frontcourt, so he gave the ball to Jeremy Lin.

Jeremy Lin started the pick-and-roll from a high position and scored Yingxiong suddenly.

Ying Xiong started quickly after receiving the ball, and after attracting a flanking attack, he scored a high Ibaka.

Specific shots in Ibaka - no!
But Ying Xiong grabbed the offensive rebound and made two attacks under the basket-successful!
The point difference was narrowed to only 7 points left!
From the point difference of 15 points to the point difference of 7 points, not much time has passed.However, the ups and downs brought to the Cavaliers in the middle are all huge shocks.

Originally, Ying Xiong's forced takeover of the game made them a little panicked, but Jeremy Lin's 3-pointer made them a little more afraid of flanking.After all, if the opponent's players other than Ying Xiong are allowed to play an efficient offense, it is something they don't want to see.

Throughout the second quarter, with Ying Xiong's forced takeover of the game and Jeremy Lin and others' feeling of recovery, the Raptors chased the score to 2:52 before halftime, only 53 point behind their opponents.From a maximum of 1 points behind to 15 point before halftime, the two sides have returned to the same starting line, and the suspense of the game has been brought back again.

Judging from the faces of James and Tyronn Lue, the Cavaliers are not so optimistic about this game.The mentality of the two teams is different. It doesn't matter if the Raptors lose, but the home team basically misses the finals if they lose.

"Jeff, it seems that it will not be easy for Cleveland to win this game!" Mike Brin laughed.

"Well, I said before that if the 'deadly mode' should be used, then the game can still be played. But now the score, combined with various factors, the pressure of the home team Cleveland Cavaliers is even greater in the second half. Ying is certainly a good way to reduce his scoring, but the problem is that Ying is a player that you can't completely lock even if you pinch. Jeremy's strong response also made Cleveland's game more difficult in the second half." Jeff Van Gundy said .

"Jeff, you have said so much, then tell me, what is the key to Cleveland's victory in this game?" Mike Breen asked.

"In fact, the most important point is luck. While betting on your own shooting percentage, bet on the outside shooting percentage of Toronto's other players. Although Cleveland has the Big Three, they are essentially a team that has always been attacking from the outside. 3 Scoring is their lifeline, if they can't open the perimeter, it will be very difficult to win the game." Jeff Van Gundy said sternly.

The intermission time is over soon, and the third quarter of the game will start soon.

On the Cavaliers side, James passed Love at the basket in seconds, and the latter shook Ibaka and made a foul.

"Kevin made a foul with this hand, and he has an advantage in the interior." Mike Breen said with a smile.

"Kevin has the ability to shoot, so he's more likely to shake the defender than other insiders who don't have the ability to shoot." Jeff Van Gundy added.

Love stood on the free throw line and made two free throws steadily. The Cavaliers led their opponents by 55 points 52:3.

For the Raptors, Ying Xiong was flanked and awarded to DeRozan.

DeRozan took a step and then shot a jumper-no!
James received the backcourt rebound, drove straight in one step, broke into a deep position inside, and gave it to JR Smith who followed up.

Against Yingxiong's defense, JR shoots a 3-pointer-hit!
"Bang——JR, so tough!" Mike Breen praised.

"Cleveland really needs JR and Richard to stand up. But relying on the Big Three, they can't beat Toronto to death." Jeff Van Gundy said.

The point difference instantly returned to 6 points!The Raptors have no timeout!
The fans of the home team in the Quicken Loans Center arena were excited, and the cheers were deafening, which made people feel the adrenaline rush.

"Devin is really calm, the opponent's morale is up and it's not called a timeout!" Mike Breen said a little puzzled.

"Maybe, Devin thinks the point difference is not too big. Or he thinks the team is playing well, so there is nothing to suspend arrangements." Jeff Van Gundy said.

"That's right, we were behind by 15 points in the first half, so we've recovered." Mike Breen nodded in agreement.
