Chapter 929 The Disadvantages of Too Long Rest Time

Siakam accepted the rebound and handed it to Jeremy Lin to advance.

The Raptors counterattacked, but the Cavaliers retreated quickly.

The Raptors sank down to play position, Ying Xiong cut out the left wing to catch the ball, and Ibaka came up to cover.

Love and JR attack Yingxiong.

Yingxiong gave the ball to Ibaka, who was empty after receiving the ball, took the ball to the basket, faced James, and forced the frame-but no!
James accepted the rebound and advanced with the ball himself.

"Serge's ability to attack with the ball is really average!" Mike Breen said.

"When he was in Oklahoma and Orlando, he didn't have the ball. The pick-and-roll threat wasn't that big. He was more of an outside jumper after the pick-and-roll. Just had a good opportunity for the ball, but the jumper But he can go down to attack the frame. I didn't expect to have a height advantage when going down, but he didn't even get a foul!" Mark Jackson said.

On the Cavaliers side, James used the cover to force a breakthrough, and the opponent came to flank him at a deep position inside. At this time, he could no longer easily find the pass point and forced a layup-missed!
Ibaka received the rebound and handed it to Jeremy Lin to advance.

"Toronto's defense is very cunning. It doesn't attack in advance. It only goes to the deep position of LeBron to help defend, and at the same time prepares to cut off the passing line. At this time, if there is no particularly good opportunity, it is difficult for LeBron. If he hits the ball by himself, he has to face two opponents, even if he scores, the consumption will definitely not be small!" Mark Jackson said.

But for the Raptors, Ying Xiong was flanked and assigned to Jeremy Lin on the outside, who missed a jumper!
"On Toronto's side, except for Ying, it seems that the outside touch has not been opened yet!" Mike Breen said.

"A rest of more than a week is actually not a good thing during the playoffs. Even if there is training during the period, training and competition are two different things! Moreover, the gap is even more obvious in the playoffs!" Mark Jackson explained.

In the confrontation between the main players of the two sides in the first quarter, the Raptors did not adjust to the best state due to the long rest time. On the contrary, the Cavaliers, who had just finished the tiebreaker, played better.

Before the two sides entered the rotation lineup, the Cavaliers led by 2 points!
The Cavaliers' rotation lineup still has James with TT, Clarkson and Jeff Green, which is different from last season's "LeBron + 4 pitchers".There is no other reason, because 4 pitchers went to start...

The duel between the rotation lineups of the two teams is still inextricably linked.The Cavaliers are in better shape, but they still can't widen the point difference.Their role players' offensive grasp is still a bit poor, and sometimes they have opportunities, and they may not be able to end them.

The two teams played rather anxiously in the first half, but obviously the Cavaliers were in a better state.So after halftime, the Raptors at home temporarily fell behind their opponents by 4 points.

It's been a long time since the Raptors trailed at halftime, especially since the playoffs started.In the first round of 4 games, except for a period of time behind in the first quarter of G3, they did not fall behind in the remaining 3 games, and they have always been the leading team.

The home team fans at the scene are very confident in the team.In their view, the home team shot so hard in the first half that they were only 4 points behind.There is still half time in the game, and there are still opportunities.

"Toronto fell behind in the first half, it's really rare!" Mike Breen laughed.

"Well, it's really rare. But I think it's not Toronto that should be nervous now, but Cleveland." Mark Jackson said.

"Oh, the team leading the score should be nervous, am I right?" Mike Breen said with a smile on purpose.

"Don't deliberately pretend you don't know. You don't know how low Toronto's shooting percentage was in the first half. I don't believe they will have this shooting percentage throughout the game. You must know that there are many open spots, which is too abnormal. After halftime With the adaptation, their state in the second half should be much better. Don’t forget, even if the state does not come back in the second half, there is still a bug in the back!” Mark Jackson said.

"You have hit the point, because there is a response! So I support your point of view!" Mike Breen said solemnly.

"You..." Mark Jackson was speechless.

Section 3 started soon.

Jiao Zhixi dribbled the ball and gave it to James.

James used the screen to score points with the ball, and JR on the outside received the ball and distributed it to Korver.

Korver didn't have a chance to make a shot, and then divided James.

James forced Siakam and killed the basket, but hit the board-yes!
The Cavaliers extended their lead to 6 points!
Jeremy Lin came over with a dribble, Ying Xiong turned his back and asked for the ball.

JR tried to move forward and had intense physical contact with Yingxiong.

"Beep beep beep—" The referee's whistle sounded—JR fouled without the ball!

JR was still calm and did not argue with the referee, and the game continued.

DeRozan received the ball in the frontcourt and gave it to Ying Xiong.

Ying Xiong hit JR again, feinted after a tentative step, suddenly lowered his center of gravity and made a strong breakthrough.

JR's traversing speed couldn't keep up at all, and he could only watch the opponent enter the penalty area.

Love is completely a display in the paint. When he encounters Ying Xiong's level of impact, he can't think of any other way except for fouling.

James let go of Siakam and came to help defend.

Ying Xiong started, passed the ball without looking, and gave it to Siakam.

Siakam wiped the board at the basket-hit!
The point difference is back to 4 points!
"Good ball! The timing of this pass is very good!" Mike Breen praised.

For the Cavaliers, James eats Siakam again, this time there is no more!
The Raptors counterattacked, Ying Xiong went forward and directly caught DeRozan's point, and made an emergency stop jumper-take away 2 points!
The point difference was narrowed to 2 points!
On the Cavaliers' side, Love catches the ball from the basket and is taken off by Ibaka!

The Raptors counterattacked, and Ying Xiong chased and sent a 3-pointer-then hit the net!
Go-ahead!
"Bang - deserved 3 points!" Mike Breen exclaimed.

Cavaliers coach Larry Drew requested a timeout!

"Mark, should you plan to take over early in the third quarter?" Mike Breen laughed.

"I don't know, maybe he thinks the game situation is more critical during this period!" Mark Jackson replied.

Pause back, the game continues.

On the Cavaliers side, Korver and JR directly give each other off-ball screens, and James holds the ball to organize.

Korver had a chance, James quickly hit the ball, and he made a quick shot the moment before Yingxiong blocked the shot-yes!
"Bang—Kyle's ball is too difficult, he can grasp even a little gap, what a sharpshooter!" Mike Breen couldn't help but praise.

The ball was hit, and the Cavaliers went ahead by 2 points!
After being shot by Korver, Ying Xiong communicated with DeRozan: "DeMar, when you encounter this situation, switch defenses directly!"

"Okay!" DeRozan readily agreed.
