Chapter 594
Owen is also very competitive, but his strength is far behind Xu Tian. He suffered a big loss in the defensive round just now, so he can only stand at the top of the arc and watch Xu Tian execute free throws.

He put his hands on his knees, forced himself to calm down, and considered his strengths.Now that all the players have shown their real skills, he must find his own advantage, so that he can possibly compete with the extremely powerful Xu Tian.

Xu Tian's ability to have no dead ends made Owen feel unusual pressure, which made him a little impetuous, making him unable to attack calmly, and he couldn't find a way out in a short time.

The NBA is a top professional league, and the players who can make a name for themselves here all have outstanding talents.Owen's talent is on the offensive end. Although he is not as incomprehensible as Xu Tian, ​​he also has his own uniqueness.

Xu Tian made two free throws and made it steady!
14-5!

Barkley said: "Xu is really a rare player. You can't see any emotional fluctuations in him at all. With such a player, it is difficult for you to use his psychology. Even if you take the lead, you will feel unsafe."

Kenny Smith said: "There are not many players with a calm personality. The most recent one is Tim Duncan. Xu is similar to him, but with a little more sharp edges and corners. He is a player who is difficult to predict his actions. If I was still in the league, I wouldn't want to play against him at all."

Barkley said: "As far as I know, a lot of guards in the league don't want to play against him."

Owen received a pass from James, faced Xu Tian's defense, and tried to change direction in front of him.He is very confident in his dribbling ability and doesn't think Xu Tian can directly steal.

Xu Tian's defense was still airtight, and he didn't give Owen the slightest space.If this is in the regular season, Irving can raise his hand and make a foul, but this trick is not very effective in the playoffs, and he can only use rhythm to find space.

James could see that Irving was struggling to attack, so he ran to the top of the arc, helped him cover, and blocked Xu Tian who was moving laterally.

Josh Smith also has good mobility, but he doesn't have Xu Tian's ability to disrupt the rhythm of the dribble, and he doesn't have enough restrictions on Irving.

Irving was able to use his hands and feet, immediately used a dazzling dribble, and broke through the penalty area with Josh Smith's defense.

Both Tyson Chandler and Josh Smith came to the penalty area, took off one after another, forming an airtight net.

Owen rushed forward and took off, moved laterally in the air to connect with the difficult pull bar, and escaped the defensive rebound of two inside players for a layup!

The ball hits the backboard and bounces into the net!

14-7!

James admired Irving very much. Seeing that he finally scored, he ran over to give him a high-five to celebrate.

Irving put aside distracting thoughts, ignored the surrounding things, and focused on defense.Regardless of the effect, he wanted to at least get his attitude back first.

Xu Tian really had no solution on the offensive end. He broke through to attract double-teams, and the miraculous pass reappeared, leading Tyson Chandler to complete a layup in the penalty area.

Tristan Thompson is good at big defense and small. He is good at dealing with Curry, but it is a bit difficult to deal with the Lakers' offense.

Tyronn Lue saw the plight of the inside line, and took Love, who was poor in defense ability, and asked Mozgov to top Tyson Chandler, but it only worked for one round.In the next round, the Lakers sent McGee.

McGee's defensive habits are not good, but his offensive hook and athletic ability are very skillful, which really caused a lot of trouble for Mozgov.

Tyronn Lue had no inside players to use, so Tristan Thompson had to be placed at the fifth position, and Channing Frye, who had a strong three-point shooting ability, was dispatched to the field.Facing the Lakers' generally taller lineup, he dared not play a big and a small.

Tristan Thompson has good mobility, but the height is not enough, and the deterrence of the penalty area is a bit insufficient. He was scored and dunked by the Lakers outside players one after another.

James took the initiative to take the initiative to serve as the fourth position he was unwilling to play, which eased the situation slightly.

The two sides played back and forth in the second half of the first quarter, but the Lakers established a leading situation at the beginning, and ended the first quarter with a 32-26 temporary lead of six points.

In the first half of the second quarter, Xu Tian was not on the court, while James was just the opposite. He returned to the court after only half a minute of rest and led the team to play.

The Lakers have Nick Young on the bench who can score, and with Kobe on the line, they can only be suppressed by James.This is a problem with the composition of the Cavaliers, and there is no way to change it.

Tyronn Lue's more focus is not tactics, but James' state.Most of his tactics need to be initiated by James, and no one can replace them.

Xu Tian returned to the court in the second half of the second quarter, showing super dominance, playing consecutive singles, using super high shooting percentage and strong ball distribution ability, once again opened up the point difference that James brought back with a one-star four-shot lineup.His state and concentration tonight were extremely high, which put a lot of offensive and defensive pressure on the Cavaliers.

After Irving returned to the court, he broke through with the ball of fate and scored various difficult goals to help the team stabilize the situation.He knew very well that Xu Tian's state was basically unstoppable, and only by helping James save some energy would he have a chance to win in the second half.

During the intermission, Tyronn Lue did not arrange tactics, allowing James Jones to mobilize the players' emotions.

James tried his best to attack and defend for two consecutive game nights, and his physical strength was a bit too much. He lay on the fitness mat on the floor and tried his best to recover.

The Lakers' front line and wheel defense made him need to use more strength than usual on the offensive end, and his physical strength was huge, but he had to break through frequently, which caused him, who was a physical monster, to feel weak.

Tyronn Lue and Larry Drew knew that the team's overall strength was not as good as that of the Lakers, so they discussed for a long time, but they could only rely on James.

Irving can see that James is obviously tired, and it is more obvious than last year's finals.This made him fall silent.

The Cavaliers are a team with three All-Star players, but James is the only one who really showed his strength in the Finals.The performance of Irving and Love is not as good as the regular season, nor is it as good as the performance of the previous rounds of the series.

In the second half of the game, James still took the lead in the charge, spared no effort to help the team's shooters create open opportunities, and passed the ball over and over again.

JR Smith was beaten to pieces by Xu Tian on the defensive end, but he made a contribution in opening up the space, making four consecutive three-pointers to help the team stabilize the situation.

Tyronn Lue still couldn't find a way to restrain Xu Tian. Although the team blossomed more, it was still suppressed by the Lakers.This situation made him a little worried.

Owen finally avoided Xu Tian's defense, and continued to help the team survive with continuous singles regardless of physical strength.He has only been attacking for a while before he realized that it is not easy to lead the team, and he also knows that it takes a lot to win.

Even though the double stars of the Cavaliers are shining, they still cannot cover up the brightest star of the Lakers.
