I'm king in the basket

Chapter 635 Alternating inside advantage

At 8 minutes into the first quarter, Embiid was exhausted and needed a break.

Director Lu saw that the Raptors had Zou Qi standing on the sidelines ready to make a substitution, so he called Tavares.

He also has to make substitutions and cannot make the mistakes of the first game.

Embiid, who has lost his physical strength, is a young girl who has no resistance in front of Li Xing, how pitiful it is.

He can't let tragedies continue to happen to this young and promising young man.

Slamming this way, Snyder sat silent.

He was surrounded by chief assistant coach Triano, and six or seven assistant coaches, big and small, who all advocated replacing Li Xing.

Snyder seemed to take the exact opposite view.

"Quinn, Larch needs to rest."

Triano said.

Snyder said: "They don't understand Larch's physical strength, don't you understand?"

"Before the injury, I really knew Luckey very well, but he suffered a serious injury, and we can't judge him by the previous standard." Triano said.

"It was Luckey's own request," Snyder said.

"he?"

In Triano's eyes, Snyder is the one who decides all this: "We don't need to let him take this risk at all."

"Yes, we don't need to, but he's going to beat Cleveland completely."

"He told me with certainty and determination that he had the strength to play 40 minutes."

"I trust him," Snyder said.

This is the change that happened after the two sides made substitutions and adjustments. This change is that Li Xing is still on the field.

For the Cavaliers, this is a jaw-dropping operation.

They knew Li Xing's ability. Once he stayed on the field, it would be a disaster for Tavares.

Director Lu felt that he had met an opponent for the first time.

Usually he fucks the main players, but now he finally met someone he hates more than him - fuck the wounded. Yes, Li Xing is recovered from his injury, but if it were Director Lu, with his integrity, he would never Playing for extended periods of time at the risk of re-injury to players returning from injury.

Thinking of this, Director Lu looked at Snyder at the far end.

"This is a whore!"

Seeing Li on the field, Embiid's passion was also ignited: "I want to go out and fight him to the death!"

"Sit down!" Director Lu turned around and shouted.

"Coach!" Embiid's attitude was also extremely firm.

Director Lu shouted: "If you play now, won't you fall into the opponent's trap? Laqi Li is waiting to squeeze you dry!"

This sentence is too obscene, Embiid played every minute, still stubborn: "Larch Lee is also a mortal body, I will be tired, won't he be tired? Let us compare and see who gets tired first I can't believe it, I am so young, how can I lose to him in physical strength?"

Director Lu originally didn't want to make the scene so ugly. All of this was forced by the young man in front of him who claimed to have killed a lion when he was eight or nine years old.

"Larch Lee can control ten girls every night, can you do it? Joel, tell me, can you do it!"

Director Lu released the nuclear weapon at this opening: "If you tell me in the most affirmative tone in the world, you can do it, I will let you fight him to the death, otherwise, please shut up!"

This is simply an unassailable question.

Even though Embiid prides himself on how masculine he is, he admits-I really can't f*cking resist ten girls at night, not to mention every night, even if my mother comes here for one night, it will kill me!

Director Lu made a speech, and Embiid was convinced, and he sat on the bench obediently.

Convincing Embiid is only the first step, and the next step is the most critical.

Can Tavares stop Li Xing?
This is an unknown.

Li Xing defeated Tavares in the previous two games, so Director Lu can only pray now: "Lord, please let Tavares destroy Laqi Lee."

"If you think that's too harsh, I'll put it another way—Lord, please don't let Tavares get fucked by Lucky Lee!"

Lord, the response to Guidance Lu was probably just two words.

Tavares defended Li Xing's first goal after he came on the court. The latter accelerated and passed him 45 degrees from the left, scoring a dunk under the basket.

unstoppable!

James watched the situation on the court tricky. Embiid was not there, and Tavares' shooting ability was not as good as his grandma, so he couldn't count on it.

This person is so good in vain, he is not even qualified to be a meat shield.

With this person present, James' breakthrough ability is greatly reduced, and he can only choose to attack from a low position. Even so, Middleton can't resist it.

James knocked down the deepest, turned around and hit the ball with a hook.

"Larch, if you think that after Joel goes down, you can do whatever you want, then you are really wrong."

"Walter will not lose to you!"

After all, James put his hand on Tavares' shoulder.

His original intention was to encourage Tavares and put pressure on Li Xing by the way.

Tavares heard this sentence like a peerless pit, but the opponent is the boss of the team, he can't get angry, he can only wait to die.

"LeBron said you can't lose to me."

Li Xingban's provocative question made Tavares very angry. Then, the former pointed to the sky, and ran behind him with agility far superior to Tavares, jumped up, and dunked the ball in the air.

It was a no-brainer offense, and Tavares was hardening like a rock.

In front of Li Xing, he was really helpless, even his best defense was full of flaws in the opponent's eyes.

Li Xing just gave him a feeling.

Even if he doesn't have so many skills, just relying on this speed and this smart running awareness, he can cripple his defense by eating cakes.

The 4 minutes when Embiid was off the field can be said to be 4 black minutes.

No one can score on the Cavaliers' side except James.

The Raptors had more scorers, and Li Xing's offensive threat in the low post was unparalleled. He took the initiative to get the ball to attract double-teams, in order to pass the ball to others.

Zou Qi repeatedly got the opportunity to dunk and score under the basket.

Compared with the Raptors scoring easily, the Cavaliers didn't get a point like a gift from God. Their offense is really weak to explosive.

Later, James and Irving took turns to single out to save the ever-increasing point difference.

At the end of the first quarter, the Raptors led by 8 points.

There are still 2 minutes before the start of the second quarter. Director Lu should use this time to think carefully.

Do you want Embiid to play?If he plays, he will undoubtedly share the firepower inside the team, and at the same time, his physical fitness will be further consumed by Li Xing.

He was hesitating, and after James raised his hand and shook him a few times, rejecting his proposal, he had nothing else to think about.

Yes, Embiid cannot be played early.

Embiid's physical strength is the life and death line of the team. If he is dragged down by Li Xing in the first half, there will be no suspense in the second half.

In this era, it is not easy to get an insider who can wrestle with Li Xing.

It was also James' suggestion and Director Lu's final determination that saved Embiid from playing early in the second quarter.

They dragged on until the 4th minute of the second quarter. When Embiid came on the court, the point difference was 12 points.

As soon as he came, he helped James open the space.

James, who also played from the beginning to the present, with the same exhaustion as Li Xing, rushed into the penalty area infatuatedly, and scored 2+1 in front of Zou Qi's help defense dunk.

James showed the muscles of his hands and roared loudly, as if he wanted to give Zou Qi a big deterrent.

Zou Qi just stood there, his expression unchanged.

"If you don't want to continue to be dunked like this, you should gain weight after the season is over." Li Xing said to him.

Zou Qi replied seriously: "I will gain weight properly."

The tenacity of the Cavaliers exceeded Li Xing's imagination. He did not expect that things would be so difficult, especially the fact that they would rather be blown inside than let Embiid play early, which touched him a lot.

This is undoubtedly the strongest team under James' command. He has never had such a talented helper. Therefore, he is absolutely unwilling to lose the game easily.

The mistakes made in the first game will never be repeated this time, this is their attitude.

It was also because of these distracting thoughts in his mind that Li Xing was distracted. Taking advantage of the few minutes he was invisible, the Cavaliers quickly chased the point difference to 4 points, forcing Snyder to call a timeout.

In the last 4 minutes of the first half, Snyder replaced Li Xing.

Next, it was the Raptors' lack of hardness inside.

The restricted area has become the back garden of the Cavaliers. James and Irving can come and go whenever they want.

Embiid faced Zou Qi, and the matchup turned into a massacre.

Although Embiid's body is not as strong as James, he is a real insider. He and Zou Qi are directly facing each other. His body thickness and core strength far exceed the latter.

In the first second of the inside duel, the ability to fight is what determines strength and weakness.

The stronger side is like a tiger, fully controlling the initiative.

Unless the weak side has extraordinary physical fitness, it is difficult to limit the opponent on the defensive end.

Zou Qi's problem is that no one can teach him how to hit his body, and his physical fitness is not as good as others. It is completely expected that he will be completely exploded.

Fortunately, both he and Bargnani are space-based insiders, and they can pull outside to tear up the space when attacking. Embiid can't control the penalty area. Dragic and others succeeded in breaking through, and the point difference was controlled at 4. There was no change until the end of the first half.

"I had a feeling that the game was about to end, but now it seems that it was just my illusion. Both sides have made full preparations for this game."

"Yes, the Raptors want to win the match point in one go, while the Cavaliers strive to keep the match point. They all have reasons to do their best to win this game."

"Who wins and who loses, let us wait and see."

Players from both sides walked into the player channel for the time being, and the game entered the halftime break.

The auditorium was in chaos.

Don't pee for convenience, buy water if you are thirsty, and replenish energy when you are hungry. In the second half, the Cavaliers still need them to maintain sufficient energy to provide exciting cheers.
