Chapter 622 Owen's Determination

Kyrie Irving is a well-known point guard with a flamboyant style of play, a bit arrogant, but this round of the series against Xu Tian severely frustrated his self-esteem.

James looked at Irving, who looked a little lonely, and said with hatred: "Kyrie, don't worry, let go of your hands and feet to attack! If we lose this game, our season will be over. There is really no need to think too much. .”

Hearing what James said, Owen suddenly understood, and stopped thinking about being suppressed by Xu Tian in all directions, and instead thought about what he could do.The answer is simple, it is offense.

The timeout is over, and the players of both sides return to the field!
James chose to believe in Irving, received the serve, and passed it to him immediately.

Irving dribbles the ball at the top of the arc, swings his left hand in his direction, and beckons Tristan Thompson to come up for the pick-and-roll.It's not his first day playing basketball, so he knows what kind of defensive ability Xu Tian has, so he tries to avoid his defense as much as possible.

Tristan Thompson used a non-standard covering posture to cover, and the pulling action restrained Xu Tian and prevented him from assisting in the defense.

George was taller than Xu Tian, ​​and his agility was worse. He couldn't interfere with Irving's dribbling rhythm, and was pulled away again.

Irving stepped back sideways and forced a shot!

The basketball hits the board, rebounds and hits!
6-3!

Seeing the goal scored, James was even more excited than scoring himself. He clenched his fists and high-fived Irving who was retreating.

Tyronn Lue chose a new personnel rotation and continued to put JR Smith on the field to see if it worked.

When Xu Tian singled out JR Smith, his advantage in strength was too great, causing the latter to retreat steadily.This set of matchups was crushing from beginning to end.

JR Smith felt at a loss, made a foul, and temporarily suspended the confrontation with Xu Tian.He knew that he must look stupid, but the gap in strength was too great, there was absolutely nothing he could do.

Knowing that JR Smith still couldn't cross the gap, Tyronn Lue called Shumpert to his side and asked him to prepare to replace JR Smith and continue to defend Xu Tian.

Shumpert is also a little scared inside, but he is a player with relatively good defensive effects for the Cavaliers. If he shows timidity, the overall defense will collapse.

Xu Tian saw through the Cavaliers' defense, hit the ground with his right hand and passed the ball, passed through the Cavaliers' defense, and gave it to Tyson Chandler who was standing in the penalty area.

Tristan Thompson needs to take care of defense and doesn't have much time to stay in the penalty area. The Cavaliers' penalty area is completely dependent on Love's defense.This kind of defensive formation, the penalty area is the breakthrough.

Tyson Chandler turned to put in the basket and called for a thug foul by Love.

Only 3 minutes into the game, Love committed two fouls and had to rest.

Mozgov is the center of the Cavaliers Zhengyin. Due to his slow movement speed, he gradually lost playing time.Now Love is in a foul crisis and can only be topped by him.

Tyson Chandler steadied the rhythm and made two free throws!

8-3!

Irving received the serve from the backcourt, trotted to the frontcourt, bent over to dribble at the top of the arc, and looked for the Lakers' defensive flaws.The advantage of his offense is that it can help James save energy and allow him to face off against the Lakers in the second half.

James took the initiative to come to the top of the arc, helped Irving block Xu Tian, ​​and let Josh Smith face Irving.

Josh Smith is already a veteran, and he has no problem dealing with James, who is known for his strength, but it is indeed a bit difficult to deal with the quick-witted Irving.He was deceived by a fake move in the follow-up defense, which gave him a certain amount of space.

Irving is a player with solid basic skills. He takes off on the spot and makes freehand mid-range shots!
Hollow into the network!

8-5!

Cavaliers fans are used to Irving getting lost on the court, and suddenly he played a good offensive rhythm. He was a little uncomfortable for a short time, and when he realized it, the neat cheers were immediately sent.

The atmosphere in the Quicken Loans Center arena gradually became warmer.

On the defensive end, Shumpert used physical confrontation and defended closely, but Xu Tian did not attack. He used his extremely good pass to connect the team and let the rest of his teammates start the offense.

The basketball finally passed into Kobe's hands. He used a shot fake to deceive Irving in front of him, and scored with a forward throw!
10-5!

Tyronn Lue understands that the main problem now is on the defensive end, but he can't solve it. He stands on the sidelines and watches the team's offense nervously.

Tristan Thompson came to the top of the arc and blocked Xu Tian again, creating an offensive opportunity for Irving.

George didn't go up in time enough to get a vacancy.

Owen seized the opportunity, took off on the spot, and made a quick three-pointer!
Triple Kill!

10-8!

Owen was a little lost in the first few games, with a backlog of negative emotions in his heart. Tonight's three goals became a catharsis, roaring to vent his depression.He finally found himself, but it seemed a bit late.

Xu Tian's personal offense and passing organization switching have basically reached the point of proficiency. When Shumpert thought he was going to pass the ball, he took advantage of the space released to shoot the ball!
Swish!
12-8!

Owen understood completely at this time - it wasn't that he was not strong enough, but that Xu Tian was too strong.Thinking of this, he was completely relieved, dribbled the ball slowly to the frontcourt, and then relied on the pick-and-roll to launch the offense.

George learned the lesson of the previous few defenses, and the grab was timely enough, but he was tricked by Irving's butterfly-like dribble, and was passed cleanly.

Irving felt like he had found his lost self, jumping up with confidence and shooting quickly.He's feeling just right to start celebrating early.

Basketball, hit the net!
12-10!

James didn't expect Irving to find his form in the most critical game, he seemed very excited, and ran over to celebrate with Irving passionately.In the previous five games, he had paid too much on both ends of the offense and defense, and he was really a little tired. Tonight's help is definitely beyond his expectations.

Xu Tian remained calm and dribbled the ball to the frontcourt slowly. While the Cavaliers were in a state of excitement, he passed the ball with his left hand to Kobe who was running without the ball.

Kobe started Mozgov in the restricted area, and made a layup with a time difference, causing a foul.

The Cavaliers played at a super level, while the Lakers followed suit and played their scheduled offense.

Kobe made two free throws!

14-10!

James sent the ball to Irving, without the ball to the frontcourt slowly, opened up the space first, and let the hot Irving attack.

Irving played very excitedly, with the help of Tristan Thompson's cover, George, who once again singled and switched defenses.He was very confident tonight, stepped back to find a little space, and quickly threw a three-pointer!
Hit the board and hit!
14-13!

The players on the Cavaliers bench boiled, waving the towels in their hands, celebrating Irving's consecutive shots.

Xu Tian didn't seem to hear the sound of the scene. He dribbled the ball to the frontcourt lightly, and once again saw the Cavaliers' defensive loopholes, he lobbed the ball with his right hand and passed it to Josh Smith.

Tristan Thompson couldn't make up for it, and the penalty area could only be handed over to Mozgov.

Josh Smith attracts Mozgov's defense and passes the ball again to Tyson Chandler who is standing in the penalty area!
Dunk with both hands!

16-13!
