Chapter 592 Finals G2
TNT waited until the introduction and the national anthem were over, and announced the starting players of both sides!

Lakers: Xu Tian, ​​Kobe, George, Josh Smith, Tyson Chandler!

Cavaliers: Irving, JR Smith, James, Love, Mozgov!
Tristan Thompson is more dynamic than Mozgov, but Tyronn Lue wanted to take advantage of Tyson Chandler's presence to help Tristan Thompson save more energy, so he was not listed in the starting lineup.

Owen fastened the rope on his trousers and glanced at Xu Tian who was standing in the opposite half. He was still as usual, showing no expression.He is not very afraid of Curry, but he always has a little psychological defense against Xu Tian.

James became the jumper, walking to the right of the center circle and facing Tyson Chandler.He's the most athletic of the Cavaliers' starters and has absolutely no problem executing jump balls.

The referee took the basketball selected by Xu Tian, ​​walked to the middle circle, and after confirming that the two players were ready, threw the ball into the sky.

The whistle sounded and the game began!
James' bounce speed and bounce are better than Tyson Chandler, ignoring the height disadvantage and grabbing the ball for the first time.

Irving got the basketball and dribbled it to the frontcourt. It was Xu Tian who was in charge of defending him.He looked at Xu Tian whose center of gravity had dropped to the lowest, adjusted his dribbling rhythm, and looked for a breakthrough route.

Xu Tian's defense was impenetrable, and Irving, who was at a disadvantage in physical confrontation, could feel that Xu Tian had touched the basketball just now, so he quickly picked up the ball, held Xu Tian with his side, and prepared to pass the ball with both hands.

James reached the top of the arc, trying to meet Irving.

Irving immediately chose to pass the ball, but as soon as the ball left his hand, he saw a big hand hit the ball, making it move quickly to the backcourt.

James reacted quickly, and immediately chased and defended, trying to defend Xu Tian who had completed the steal.

Owen is also retreating, but his speed is slower than James and Xu Tian, ​​and he is far behind.

James started with all his strength, jumped up the moment Xu Tian stopped, and wanted to complete a block, but Xu Tian didn't dunk or attack.

Xu Tian waited until James fell to take off, leaned forward and made a throw, and hit the board!

2-0 (the Lakers score first)!

Owen was a little annoyed at his carelessness, but he could only forget what happened just now, receive the serve from the backcourt, and slowly dribble the ball to the frontcourt.

Seeing Xu Tian's focused eyes, he felt a little scared, and took the initiative to pass the ball to James.

Tai Lunlu stood on the sidelines, looking at Owen who dared not attack Xu Tian, ​​wondering if it was a good thing or a bad thing.

James bent over to dribble and saw that his teammates were blocked from receiving the ball, so he could only launch a breakthrough and hit the Lakers' defense head-on.

Josh Smith tried his best to slow down James' breakthrough and give his teammates a chance to help defend.Defending James has never been a one-man task, and he needs help.

Tyson Chandler sensed Mozgov's position with his right hand, looked at James who was making a breakthrough, his knees were slightly bent, and he was ready to charge at any time.

James saw that Mozgov was not strictly guarded, passed a small direct pass, and gave him the ball.

Mozgov held the ball in both hands and wanted to complete a dunk, but his movement frequency was very slow, and Xu Tian, ​​who was defending from behind, pressed the ball on the backboard.

Xu Tian grabbed the ball with both hands and directly promoted the fast break counterattack.

Owen saw the basketball fly into the air, realized that someone in the backcourt was making a fast break, turned his head, and saw George in the frontcourt had already caught the ball and took off.

He couldn't tell which came first, the cheers or the dunk. What he knew was that the Lakers scored two more points.

4-0!

JR Smith could see that Owen didn't dare to attack Xu Tian's defense, so he took the initiative to say: "Kyrie, pass the ball to me."

The weather was not going well for Owen, and he felt even more uncomfortable when he heard JR Smith's words. He passed the ball directly to him to see how he played offensively.

Love is the most dedicated player. He mentioned the top of the arc to help cover and help JR Smith find breakthrough opportunities.

JR Smith believed that he played a key role in the last game, and he didn't pay much attention to the Lakers' defense. He directly launched a breakthrough and only had the basket in his eyes.

Xu Tian came out from the side, exerted a physical confrontation, and took out the ball dribbled by JR Smith with his right hand.

Owen was the closest to the basketball, and ran over to grab it, but before he could get there, he saw Xu Tian throwing himself on the ball sideways, and instantly got the basketball.

Xu Tian's hard work scared him a little.

Love has a positive attitude and wants to fight back, so he also falls to the ground to fight for the ball.It's just that Xu Tian's passing skills are too good, and he can also play the ball when he is on the ground, which made Kobe get the basketball.

The knight's first three attacks were all destroyed by Xu Tian.

Barkley said: "Did Xu play chicken blood? Why is he so fierce when he comes up today?"

"That's a question I can't answer either," Kenny Smith said.

Irving did not have the task of defending Xu Tian. He stood in front of Kobe and was pulled to the left side of the court.

Facing Xu Tian, ​​who was holding the ball behind his back, JR Smith was being pushed back steadily.He originally thought he could guard Xu Tian, ​​but it turned out that he had no choice but to foul.

The basketball was thrown by Xu Tian, ​​drawing a perfect arc and hitting the net with precision!
The referee whistled and gave Xu Tian an additional penalty!
Tyronn Lue was a little dissatisfied with the strength of JR Smith's foul. He thought that since he chose to foul, he should destroy the opponent's shooting action and let Xu Tian shoot in a stable posture, which is basically equivalent to sending points.

JR Smith didn't care too much about his choice, he reached out to receive the foul, and watched Xu Tian make a free throw.

hit!

7-0!

Tyronn Lue wanted to replace JR Smith, but he was worried about affecting his state, so he decided to observe another round before making a decision.

Irving took the ball to the frontcourt, actively called the pick-and-roll, fought for a misplaced attack, and avoided Xu Tian's defense.He is not stupid. Seeing Xu Tian's state a few minutes ago, he knew that it would be difficult to succeed in singles, so he could only choose to temporarily avoid the limelight.

George's defensive ability is not much worse than Xu Tian's, covering Owen completely, forcing him to stop the ball.

Owen saw that JR Smith had a chance, but he remembered the locker room and his attitude towards himself just now. He didn't pass the ball and retreated to the limit!

Bi~
Walking violation!

Tyronn Lue bit his lower lip, looked at the field blankly, hesitating whether to call a timeout so early.

JR Smith didn't have a chance to ask Owen why he didn't pass the ball, defended Xu Tian at the top of the arc, and defended with all his strength.It's just that he felt that Xu Tian's rhythm was very strange, and he couldn't keep up with it.

Xu Tian took off easily, 21 feet confident middle distance!
9-0!

Tyronn Lue no longer hesitated, called a timeout, replaced JR Smith, and sent Shumpert to defend Xu Tian.

JR Smith scored two goals in a row by Xu Tian and was replaced by the head coach. He lost the chance to fight back. He was really depressed and sat on the bench without saying a word.
