Chapter 624
With 6 minutes and 52 seconds left in the game, Xu Tian temporarily replaced Josh Smith, who had been playing for a long time, to let him rest for a while.

When James saw Xu Tian appearing on the field, his heart skipped a beat, but he couldn't show it, so he tried to keep calm and continued to serve the frontcourt touchline.

The score at this time was 85-86, the Cavaliers led by 1 point, and there were 11 seconds left on the offensive clock!
Owen was defended by Xu Tian and couldn't receive the serve, so he could only run to the left and let Love receive the serve.

James has good passing skills, lobbing the ball to Love, then running up the court to catch the ball back from Love.

George played against James several times in the East. At that time, he was the boss of the team and failed to lead the team to defeat James' team.Now that the strength of the new team has improved to a higher level, he really wants to get back the field he lost.

James launched a breakthrough, confronted George twice, and had no chance to get up to speed.His breakthrough is very dependent on speed. Once it is delayed, the forced breakthrough is in danger of being blocked. Out of caution, he dribbles back to the top of the arc.

At this time, the attack time was running out, James just saw it, jumped up on the spot, and shot a three-pointer.

The arc drawn by the basketball is very high and looks a bit big, but it finally hit the backboard and unexpectedly rebounded into the net!

85-89, 6 minutes and 40 seconds!
James still didn't dare to celebrate, turned around and retreated, trying to prevent the Lakers from playing a fast-break counterattack.

Shumpert and Xu Tian appeared on the stage at the same time, defending close to each other, trying to cause trouble for him.But such an attempt was still unsuccessful.

Xu Tian has the highest shooting percentage in the league, and his accuracy is higher than that of inside players who often attack in the penalty area. The offensive threat is huge, enough to change the opponent's defensive system.With such a player, the Cavaliers dare not relax their defense for a moment.

Shumpert hardly takes on the offensive task, but just defending Xu Tian still consumes a lot of energy.The highly tense nerves also made him feel physically and mentally exhausted.

Xu Tian did not make a strong attack. He dribbled the ball on the left side and pretended to break through, forcing the Cavaliers to change their defense and pass the ball to George again.

James took turns in front of George and lowered his focus to defend.

George held the ball in both hands, tried to make three threats, and said at the same time: "LeBron, you are going to taste the bitter fruit of failure tonight."

James did not show weakness and said, "You can come and try."

The offense and defense of the two were full of confrontation and full of gunpowder.

George is on the offensive side, taking the initiative, finding loopholes in James' defense, taking a step back, and making a chic fallback jumper.

Since coming to the Lakers, George has always been able to see Xu Tian and Kobe honing their skills crazily on the training ground. He was infected and also had incomparable motivation.This season, his ball-handling offense and offensive skills have made great progress, but his brilliance was covered by Xu Tian's side, so he couldn't stand out.

The basketball wiped the board and bounced into the net!
87-89, 6 minutes and 20 seconds!
James received the serve in the backcourt, walked to the frontcourt, tried to save his energy, and maintained his offensive and defensive performance.The player he was really afraid of was Xu Tian, ​​but George, who was defending in front of him at the moment, could not be ignored.

George lowered his focus to a minimum, replaying the matchups from a few years ago in his mind, trying his best to defend without fear of confrontation.

James has been on the court for too long at this time, and his strength has declined compared to when he was full of energy. He was unable to withstand George's hard collision and dribbled backwards.His breakthrough relies heavily on strength and speed, and if he stagnates, his threat will be halved.

With the help of Tristan Thompson's screen, Irving ran off the ball to the top of the arc and responded to a pass from James.He was only afraid of Xu Tian's defense, and he didn't care too much about the rest of the Lakers players.

Kobe lowered his center of gravity to defend, but due to the decline in his athletic ability, he was shaken out of a certain space.

Owen quickly collected the ball and took off, confidently hitting the middle distance.

His touch tonight is unstoppable!
87-91, 5 minutes and 58 seconds!
Shumpert went around in front of Xu Tian, ​​and used his front to cling to the defense, trying to limit him from receiving the ball.At present, Xu Tian is the biggest offensive threat to the Lakers. He can only try his best to defend.

The fans at the scene shouted "defense" neatly, giving extra support to the players on the field.

Kobe dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, and found that Xu Tian led the four Cavaliers to change their defensive positions during the running process, passed the ball quickly, and passed it to George on the left.

Facing Tristan Thompson's defense, George accelerated his dribble and passed directly with his physical fitness.Facing Love's defense, he grabbed the ball with his left hand and dunked with one hand!
Love knew that he couldn't block the shot, so he retracted his arm in the air to avoid being beaten 2+1!

89-91, 5 minutes and 45 seconds!
George landed on both feet smoothly, high-fived Tyson Chandler beside him, turned around and retreated quickly.

NBA players know exactly what to do on the court. There is no dead ball today, and it is not suitable for celebration.

James received the serve, and under George's defense, he slowly advanced to the frontcourt.He first observed Owen's position, saw Owen being clamped by Xu Tian, ​​changed his mind, and prepared to launch a breakthrough.

George has already made up his mind and used all his strength to confront James toughly while dribbling.Both of them used enough force that James ignored the action at hand.

The basketball flew out of his hand and flew into Xu Tian's hands.

George saw the basketball flying towards Kobe, who was going down without the ball, so he didn't participate in the fast break, and roared in the backcourt.He had wanted to beat James for a long time, but he hadn't succeeded in these years. Now, even though he was only defending the next round, he was still very excited.

Kobe received a comfortable pass in the frontcourt, jumped with both feet, and barely dunked with one hand!
91-91, 5 minutes and 27 seconds!
Tyronn Lue still has three timeouts. He got up and came to the sidelines. First, he observed James' expression to see if he needed to call a timeout.

James' expression was very focused, and he didn't notice that Tyronn Lue was looking at him. He dribbled the ball with his left hand and changed direction before connecting with his body, and went right to attack the basket.

George ate, had no chance to limit James' speed, chased and defended from the side, and tried to defend with his teammates inside.

Tyson Chandler stood up, arms raised, ready to jump.

With a clear mind, James first exerted physical confrontation, squeezed away Tyson Chandler, who was not stable in the lower plate, and used the space to complete the layup!

Two points, steady!
91-93, 5 minutes and 10 seconds!
Quicken Loans Center arena, thunderous cheers!
Xu Tian received a cross pass from Kobe in the backcourt, bent over and dribbled the ball at the top of the frontcourt, and moved laterally, involving the overall defense of the Cavaliers.

Shumpert was extremely nervous, paying attention to every movement of Xu Tian, ​​trying to predict the attacking trend.It's a pity that he still guessed wrong, and Xu Tianren passed the ball through the defense.

The Cavaliers double-teamed again, restricting Xu Tian from entering the paint. Once in that position, it was almost impossible for Xu Tian to stop him.

With a clear mind, George reached the top of the arc on the right from the bottom corner, and immediately received a pass from Xu Tian's back.He didn't want to know how Xu Tian saw him. At this moment, he only had the basket in his eyes.

Who dares to slash immediately, General George of Los Angeles!
