Chapter 584
Xu Tian dribbled the ball behind JR Smith's slightly rough defense, easily dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, and broke through in a straight line without stopping.

Owen was the closest to Xu Tian, ​​and wanted to go to make up defense, but the power gap was a bit big, and he couldn't stop Xu Tian at all.

James rushed over to defend, delaying Xu Tian's breakthrough, but in this way, George was left open.

Xu Tian hit the ground with his right hand and passed the ball directly to Paul George.

The basketball was thrown by George, with a spin, and went into the net with precision!
4-1!

Xu Tian and George finished high-fiving, retreated to the backcourt calmly, and marked their respective defensive players.

Tyronn Lue walked near the center line and shouted: "Kevin, you pull away from the three-point line!"

George is responsible for defending Love, and he doesn't suffer from height and movement speed. He also mentions near the three-point line and doesn't give him any room to attack.

James held the ball at the top of the arc, failed to break through and block Josh Smith on the right, and passed the ball to Irving on the left.

Tyronn Lue is a coach who is in harmony with the players, and his tactical discipline is not strong, resulting in the Cavaliers rarely moving without the ball, and most of them are standing and watching.

Irving played singles with the ball, connecting various fancy dribbling moves, looking for Kobe's defensive loopholes.He does have two brushes on the offensive end, and he quickly found an opportunity that was not a chance, jumped back and completed the shot.

Swish!
4-3!

Xu Tian received the serve, dribbled the ball with his left hand to the frontcourt, switched between fast and slow rhythms, and played JR Smith's defense, forcing the latter to pay a foul.

Barkley said: "After Xu experienced the three-round series, he played more calmly and confidently on both ends of the offense and defense. This state is not a good thing for the Cavaliers."

Kenny Smith said: "Xu has already understood how to play in the playoffs and which way to win, so he is confident. This is the attitude of a winner, which is difficult for ordinary players to have."

"He's been winning all season. No matter who it's against, he's the winner."

"This is why most experts believe that the Lakers can win the championship."

Lakers frontcourt sideline kick!
Xu Tian received the serve, pushed JR Smith slightly away from his side, pulled up on the spot, and forced a three-pointer!
The basketball draws a perfect arc, causing a burst of cheers!
7-3!

Owen received the serve, then passed it to James, and ran to the frontcourt without the ball.He has a certain shooting ability, and his off-ball offense is more threatening than James.

James played a pick-and-roll with Mozgov at the top of the arc, replaced the defender in front of him with Tyson Chandler, led the defense, and forced a breakthrough into the penalty area.

Tyson Chandler was a center after all, he couldn't keep up with James' speed, and was dunked!
7-5!

Scott stood on the sidelines, observing the situation on the field with a calm expression, to see how Xu Tian would respond.

Xu Tian organized at the top of the frontcourt, looked at George, flicked the ball with his left hand, and passed the ball to Kobe without looking at anyone.

Kobe faced Irving, who was in charge of defense, and forced a shot during the physical confrontation, successfully causing damage.

James understood the importance of Irving, walked over to communicate with the referee, put as much pressure as possible, and strived for a more favorable penalty scale.They are playing away games, and they are already at a disadvantage, and they cannot allow their disadvantage to expand.

Kobe stood on the free throw line, stabilized his breathing rhythm, and made one of two free throws!

8-5!

James received the serve, faced Josh Smith's defense in front of the scene, and launched a breakthrough again, attracting George's defensive attention, turned around and passed the ball to Love, who was standing at the top of the arc on the right.

Love's task is to open up the space, seize the short-term open opportunity, and try to score a three-pointer!
Bin Go!

8-8!

Barkley said: "The Cavaliers are also tenacious and have not been defeated by the Lakers."

Kenny Smith said: "The Cavaliers are the champions of the Eastern Conference after all, how can they be knocked down so easily."

Xu Tian held the ball in the frontcourt, lobbed it to Kobe in the low post, and he launched the attack.

The three outside stars of the Lakers are all about two meters tall. Playing Irving is equivalent to a misplacement, so they are looking for him to play.

Irving felt very helpless, but there was nothing he could do. He defended behind him to prevent Kobe from using his footsteps.

Kobe's athletic ability has declined obviously, but his experience and fake moves are still there. He can often use his footsteps to find offensive space.

Irving's defensive strategy has achieved certain results, forcing Kobe to make a reluctant shot and successfully complete the defense.

James was very close to the penalty area, ran to grab the defensive rebound, and quickly pushed the counter.

The Cavaliers rested for a week longer than the Lakers, and they had more physical strength. They rushed to the frontcourt quickly and completed the offensive and defensive transition before the Lakers' defense took shape.

JR Smith put an end to the offense with a layup on the board!
8-10!

Scott calls a timeout!
Xu Tian retreated the fastest, handed the ball he just got to the referee, and walked to the sidelines to see what adjustment Scott would make.

Tyronn Lue could see that Irving and JR Smith were tight on the defensive end, and decided to replace JR Smith with Iman Shumpert, at least to strengthen the defense against Xu Tian first.

Dellavedova is a good defensive player, but he suffers from size and is not effective against Xu Tian.Tyronn Lue didn't dare to let him play.

Xu Tian is the most offensive player in the league today, and opponent coaches often need to rack their brains to come up with defensive strategies.Even so, there is no one who can limit his performance so far.

The Lakers bench is relatively calm, just briefly discussing the issue of defensive rotation, and then quietly waiting for the timeout to end.

The fans at the scene have experienced the baptism of the first three rounds of the series, and they have been able to maintain their mentality, watch the cheerleading performances comfortably, and enjoy the rare game night.

Pause is over!

Xu Tian received the frontcourt sideline ball, faced Shumpert's defense, played back with the ball, passed the ball on the way, and passed it to Tyson Chandler in the penalty area.

Mozgov's eyes were on Xu Tian, ​​he didn't notice that he was out of position in the penalty area, and it was too late to return to defense.

Tyson Chandler grabs the ball with both hands, jumps in place, and completes a dunk!
10-10!

James knows that inside defense is a weakness, but he doesn't really want to go to the fourth position, receive the serve from the backcourt, and bring it to the frontcourt slowly.

Josh Smith lowered his center of gravity and looked at James dribbling with high fighting spirit in his heart.He has played against James several times, but he didn't get any bargains. Now that he can match up on the highest stage, he still wants to show some performance.

James' breakthrough route on the right was restricted by Josh Smith, and he was forced to go left and try a mid-range shot from 21 feet!

The arc of the basketball is very high, and it hits the back edge of the basket, but the angle is very good, and it hits the net accurately when it falls again!

10-12!

Lakers fans can see that this will be a very anxious game, show their enthusiasm and cheer for the home team.

Xu Tian took the cover of Tyson Chandler at the top of the arc, misplaced Mozgov, and got rid of the opponent with a European step, causing a foul by Love's thug who was defending.

The basketball circled twice on the hoop and finally rolled into the net!
