Chapter 586 Weakness
The fans at the Staples Center couldn't understand the Lakers' offensive and defensive strategies, and were very anxious about the Lakers' backwardness.Every defensive round will shout "defense" in order to help the players cheer.

After all, James is a mortal. In the first half of the fourth quarter, his physical strength was no longer able to support a strong performance on both ends of the offense and defense, and his efficiency and defensive deterrence dropped sharply.

With 6 minutes and 52 seconds left in the game, the Lakers successfully tied the score, forcing Tyronn Lue to call a timeout.

At this point the score on the court was 86-86, and the two sides were at the same starting line.

詹姆斯是目前表现最好的球员，已经拿到了32分7篮板8助攻。徐天精力主要放在防守端，拿到23分9篮板7助攻，但命中率却足足有7成。

Tyronn Lue thought for a long time, and he didn't think of anyone other than Tristan Thompson who could help James on the defensive end.In the end, Shumpert can only be sent to play the second position, and try to increase the defensive points.

James sat on the bench and drank a lot of water. As soon as the towel wiped the sweat off his face, a new layer would appear immediately.This is a phenomenon that has never happened in many years of competition, and it also puts the age issue in front of him for the first time.

Xu Tian's playing style is flexible and changeable, and his top-level shooting ability and organizational ability make him not need to frequently use the energy-consuming offensive method of breaking points.The distribution of physical strength is easy, and there is no fatigue at all.

The timeout was brief, and players from both sides returned to the field and the game continued.

In order to save energy, James gave up the work of dribbling the ball to the frontcourt to Irving, went to the frontcourt without the ball, and seized every opportunity to rest.

Xu Tian and Kobe quickly moved to the midline position and flanked Irving who was holding the ball.Both of them are close to two meters tall, almost covering Owen and putting him in an extremely difficult situation.

There are not many timeouts left for Tyronn Lue, but he still decisively called a timeout to avoid being intercepted by the Lakers.

Barkley said: "Tylen Lue is a good coach, but when facing the Lakers, he always feels that he has very little response. At this level, it is difficult to compete with the Lakers."

Kenny Smith said: "The outside world often tells a joke that there is only one option on Tyronn Lue's tactical board to give the ball to LeBron. But this has something to do with the Cavaliers' lineup. LeBron is the core of offense and defense. He handled it without any problems."

In order to relieve the tense atmosphere, the director of the Staples Center opened the Kiss Cam session, using a joyful and amusing atmosphere to dilute the depression that seems to be floating in the air.

Seeing the referee return, Xu Tian gave Thackeray the sports drink in his hand, and then returned to the field to continue the game.

James received the serve at the top of the front arc, faced Xu Tian's defense, and bent over to test, to see what Xu Tian would do.

Josh Smith sat on the bench, trying to recover.He is the main force defending James, and the rest time will not be too much, so seize every second.

James is a player with a high quotient. Seeing the Lakers' poor positioning inside, he couldn't give Xu Tian support immediately. He leaned forward and dribbled aggressively to break through.His strength is stronger than Xu Tian's, and he can make full use of this.

Xu Tian used all his strength to slow down James' progress and help his teammates win opportunities to help defend.

When James is physically strong, he can push Xu Tian to complete the attack, but at this time, his physical strength is more than half exhausted, his strength has also weakened, and he has no way to find space.

McGee's top defense ability is insufficient, and the victory lies in the large coverage area. He quickly came to the penalty area and waited for James to make a shot.

James and Xu Tian made a shot in the confrontation, thinking that the thug would be fouled, but the referee didn't blow the whistle.

McGee saw the timing, grabbed the rising basketball with his right hand, and completed the block.

James wanted to complain to the referee, but when he saw that the Lakers wanted to push for a fast-break counterattack immediately, he quickly made a foul to avoid being hit by the Lakers' good offensive and defensive transitions.

Xu Tian passed the ball behind his back, gave the ball to the referee, and then stood in the backcourt waiting for his teammates to serve the sideline ball.

James seized the opportunity of the dead ball, walked beside the referee, covered his right elbow with his left hand, and signaled that Xu Tian had committed a thug foul just now.

Knowing that James is a superstar, the referee patiently gave an explanation, saying that in the finals, the allowable confrontation intensity was high, and Xu Tian slightly touched the ball, which could not be regarded as a defensive foul.

James just put pressure on the referee, and never thought about changing the penalty. After listening to the referee's explanation, he quickly returned to his position and defended George.But his eyes were on Xu Tian.

Xu Tian held the ball with his back at the top of the arc, making it impossible for Shumpert to touch the ball, and he calmly observed his teammates' running positions.

With Nance Jr.'s cover, Kobe went down without the ball, went directly to Xu Tian's ground pass, touched Tristan Thompson's defense, and scored a layup with time difference!
88-86!

James went straight to the frontcourt, trying to recover as much as possible while his teammates hadn't advanced past the halfcourt.

George took the initiative to come to James, did not give him a chance to rest, and engaged in physical confrontation without the ball, which continued to consume James' physical strength.

Owen dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, facing Xu Tian's defense, dribbled the ball with flexibility to find space, took a step back to open the distance, and forced a three-pointer.

Xu Tian took off quickly, touched Irving's shot with his fingertips, and turned to see who could grab the rebound.

Tristan Thompson stuck McGee behind him, took off violently, grabbed the offensive rebound and made a tip-in.

McGee hits behind and sends Tristan Thompson to the free throw line.

The agents of James and Tristan Thompson are both Rich Paul, who has always taken good care of this little brother. When he saw him being tough and causing a foul, he walked over and gave him a high-five to celebrate.

Xu Tian stood at the top of the arc, calmly watching Tristan Thompson make free throws.

One of two free throws!

88-87!

McGee grabbed the defensive rebound, gave it to Xu Tian, ​​and ran forward.

Xu Tian quickly dribbled the ball across the half court, improved the offensive and defensive rhythm, dribbled the ball and turned around to pass Shumpert, and hit the Cavaliers penalty area in a straight line.

Love's defensive coverage and threat are too small to provide effective defense, and he watched Xu Tian pull the bar and score a layup!

90-87!

Tai Lunlu saw Xu Tian's state of getting what he wanted on the offensive end, bit his lower lip with his teeth, and was always thinking about possible effective defensive tactics in his mind.

James could see that the momentum of the Lakers was gradually improving, standing in the backcourt to catch the ball, and slowly pushed across the half court.

Kobe turned to James, lowered his center of gravity and said, "LeBron, don't pass the ball, just come straight!"

James looked at Kobe and realized that he was the No.3 defender in three consecutive defensive rounds, but he had no choice but to force a breakthrough.His weight and strength are superior to Kobe's, but at this moment, his physical strength is at a disadvantage, and he can't get up to speed.

Xu Tian came in from the side and formed an encirclement with Kobe, defending James by double-teaming.

James' ability to play the ball is not weaker than Xu Tian's, and he quickly gave Shumpert the open space, allowing the latter to complete the offense.
