Chapter 608 Paradox
James' physical talent is rare in history. Among perimeter players, there are only a few who can match his physical talent.Once he is allowed to charge up, no one can forcibly block him.

Xu Tian was very strong, and he pulled James halfway, but he just pulled his armguard and couldn't block it.

The referee did not blow his whistle.

James pushed away Tyson Chandler in the penalty area, forced a layup, and while retreating to the backcourt, he pointed to the armguard that was pulled to the forearm and said: "Referee, Xu fouled just now! "

The referee has a strong position and insists on the standard in his heart, thinking that it was not a foul just now.

As long as there is no whistle on the basketball court, the game continues, and players from both sides continue to attack and defend on the court.

The matchup between Xu Tian and James still attracted the attention of all the fans. Even the players on both sides stood up from the bench unconsciously to watch the matchup.

James' defense is very threatening, but for Xu Tian, ​​who is extremely rich in offensive skills, he is still a bit less aggressive, and the defensive effect is not obvious. Xu Tian turned over and scored with a jumper again.

Turning over and jumping backwards is Xu Tian's most common offensive method in the playoffs.Opponents often have predictions in advance, but no one can interfere.

Reggie Miller was a player who once played against the Bulls led by Jordan. He could see Xu Tian's level and said: "If LeBron wants to win, he should end the confrontation with Xu as soon as possible, otherwise his physical strength will soon be exhausted." There will be problems again."

Chris Webber said: "The Lakers dare to rotate, and the Cavaliers must rely on LeBron. The offense is indeed very beneficial to the Lakers."

James was not in the competitive state of mind when he first entered the league. He changed his offensive method and distributed the ball to Shumpert.

Facing George's defense, Irving couldn't easily run out of the offensive space. With the help of Tristan Thompson's cover, he got an open opportunity on the right side of the court.

Facing Kobe's defense, Shumpert couldn't attack calmly at all. He wanted to pass the ball back to James, but was intercepted by Xu Tian halfway and lost an offensive opportunity.

Reggie Miller Asks Chris Webber: "Maybe I Should Take My Words Back?"

Chris Webber said with a smile: "The Cavaliers still have to rely on LeBron and Kyrie on the offensive end. They can't play well, and they can't compete with the Lakers led by Xu Tian."

"So this is a paradox. Tyronn Lue may not want to rely on LeBron, but the strength of the Lakers makes him have to make this tactical arrangement." Reggie Miller saw the problem.

Chris Webber asked: "Do you think Xu looks like Larry Bird?"

Mike Breen said: "I think he is like a combination of Magic Johnson and Larry Bird. While passing the ball imaginatively, his shooting is also extremely threatening. Such a player really makes people feel Adored or feared."

Reggie Miller said: "I think Xu is himself. His style is unique, but he is full of dominance. If players of this era cannot break his domination, then it is not completely impossible for him to surpass Michael Jordan in honor. impossible."

James still carried the banner of offense, but he didn't use all his strength when breaking through, trying to reduce physical exertion and help his teammates create offensive space.

Channing Frye and Richard Jefferson once again stood up in times of crisis and used magical three-pointers to help the team bite the score.

In the first half, the two sides almost tied.

James played 22 minutes and got 2 minutes of rest.

During the halftime break, James' personal physiotherapist helped him with ice packs and massages to speed up fatigue recovery and try to make him in a better state in the second half.

Fans who have followed the NBA for a long time can see that the Lakers' championship appearance is becoming more and more obvious, and they unconsciously cheer for the underdog Cavaliers, hoping that they can tie the big score.

The atmosphere in the Quicken Loans Center is very good, giving the players extra support, allowing James to forget about fatigue, regardless of the frequent impact of physical strength.Such an attack has achieved certain results.

The Lakers also have the unsolvable Xu Tian on the offensive end, so even if James tried his best, he still couldn't expand the point difference.This situation made the fans very anxious.

At the end of the third quarter, the fans on the scene almost had smoke in their throats.They have been shouting hoarsely to help the team, trying to contribute their own strength so that the team can win this victory at home.

During the break between festivals, Tai Lue repeatedly emphasized the importance of winning the game, allowing the players to let go of their hands and feet and try their best to attack and defend.He never let James rest in the second half.

In the first half of the fourth quarter, the Lakers let Xu Tian off the court, and the Cavaliers took the opportunity to play a small climax of 8-0, taking advantage of the opportunity to widen the point difference.

The fans in the Quicken Loans Center kept excited, cheering for the home team players and maximizing the home field advantage.

Xu Tian once again explained what is the strongest. He appeared in the second half of the fourth quarter and quickly caught up with the score.

James looked at the score that was gradually approaching, remembered his promise to the fans, and decisively began to launch a breakthrough.He didn't want the team to fall into a 1-3 situation, which would have no chance of winning.

Josh Smith suffered foul trouble tonight and played less time than in the previous three games, so the Lakers did not do enough to exhaust James' energy.

James made a strong breakthrough, and in the defense of George and Nance Jr., he made a layup against a shot.

The referee blew the whistle and called George a thug foul!
At this time, the score is the Lakers 89-93 Cavaliers, with 4 minutes and 21 seconds left!
James stands on the free throw line, trying to prolong the preparation time before the shot, so that the muscles are in a relaxed state.

Two free throws, all by accident!
89-95, 4 minutes and 21 seconds!
Shumpert was mainly responsible for defending Xu Tian in the second and third quarters, and was fouled five times. He did not dare to stick too tightly in defense to avoid receiving the sixth foul.

James stood on the right side of the court, marking George while observing Xu Tian's movements.As soon as Xu Tian came to the top of the frontcourt, he made an unreasonable three-pointer.

The basketball passed Shumpert's outstretched right hand, quickly lifted into the air, and entered the net with precision!

92-95, 4 minutes and 12 seconds!
James moved his braces with his tongue, received a serve from Tristan Thompson, advanced slowly to the frontcourt, looked at the score, and tried to slow down the rhythm of the attack to help himself gain a chance to breathe.

The difference between the two sides is not big, and it needs to be dealt with very cautiously.

Tristan Thompson is a player who performed better in the playoffs than in the regular season. He spared no effort to reach the top of the arc and helped James delay Josh Smith's defense.

Xu Tian was pulled to the bottom corner by Irving. As long as he can get rid of Josh Smith, the defense of the rest of the Lakers will not pose much threat to James.

Without hesitation, James seized the fleeting opportunity and launched an unsolvable breakthrough.

Owen moved at the same time, pulling Xu Tian to the top of the arc to prevent him from assisting James.
