Chapter 627 The Key
Xu Tian's unreasonable goal made the abnormally high decibel cheers in the center of Quicken Loans disappear without a trace.

108-105, 2 minutes and 01 seconds!
James had Tristan Thompson roll the ball on the floor, walked next to it, observed the Lakers defensive formation first, and picked it up with his left hand as he approached the halfway line.

Josh Smith is still standing on the right front of James, mainly restricting breakthroughs, leaving left breakthroughs and a certain shooting space.

James dribbled the ball at the top of the arc, instead of forcing a breakthrough against Josh Smith, he chose to go left and wanted to try a three-pointer!

He hesitated for a moment when he was about to make a shot. Seeing that Owen was blocked by Xu Tian, ​​he gritted his teeth and shot, completing the shot!

Answer Ball!

108-108, 1 minutes and 54 seconds!
Shumpert held Xu Tian's jersey with both hands, and his small movements interfered with his running, trying to limit receiving the ball as much as possible.His strength is not as good as Xu Tian's, and the effect is not obvious.

Xu Tian received the serve with his left hand and pushed forward with strength.

Owen quickly ran to Shumpert's side to form an auxiliary defense, and double-teamed Xu Tian.

Xu Tian dribbled the ball behind his back, turned around and passed Owen, who was weak, and made a breakthrough.

The Cavaliers' defense was completely involved by Xu Tian, ​​the system collapsed, and several open opportunities appeared.

Xu Tian hit the ground and passed the ball, and Josh Smith received the ball and made an impact.

James didn't have a good way. The thug fouled and let Josh Smith stand on the free throw line.

Josh Smith thought of the frustrated time in Detroit and the confusion when he was cut.Standing in the arena of the finals now seems like a dream to him.

Xu Tian walked up to Josh Smith and said, "Josh, take it easy and make free throws, don't have any psychological burden."

Like other players, Josh Smith used to regard Xu Tian as a monster.Since becoming a teammate, this feeling has long since changed.Stand calmly on the free throw line, relax the muscles in your arms, and take two free throws softly.

all hit!

110-108, 1 minutes and 39 seconds!
Josh Smith let out a sigh of relief, proud that he did not live up to the trust of Kobe and Xu Tian.

Tyronn Lue stood on the sidelines, watching James dribble to the frontcourt, watching the offensive round intently.Their only hope of victory is James.

Inspired by the offensive round, Josh Smith took the initiative to exert physical confrontation, which affected James' overall offensive rhythm.His strength is not weaker than James, and he will not suffer at all in confrontation.

James wanted to pass to Owen, but found that Xu Tian blocked him again, and he had no way out, so he could only immerse himself in the confrontation and break through.

Tyson Chandler waited early, watching the slow but determined breakthrough of James, ready to help Josh Smith at any time.

During the march, James made a concealed push with his left hand, pushed Josh Smith away, took off on the spot, and made a mid-range shot!

The basketball bounced off the hoop three times and finally went into the net!
110-110, 1 minutes and 22 seconds!
The Cavaliers fans at the scene and the Lakers fans watching through the broadcast media were already extremely nervous at this time.

Xu Tian received the serve while running, encountered double-teaming while advancing the dribble, passed the ball sideways, and Yigaoren boldly completed the breakthrough.

Tristan Thompson wanted to grab the basketball that was temporarily free, but unfortunately he was unsuccessful and lost his defensive position.

Xu Tian dribbled the ball with his right hand, pulled it to his left hand, moved laterally to avoid James, and threw a three-pointer with extreme speed!
Swish!
My three-point sword is the flames of hell!

113-110, 1 minutes and 11 seconds!
In the NBA-themed bar in Los Angeles, the drinkers put down their glasses, stood where they were, and cheered.

The game is suspended!

Reggie Miller saw the slow-motion replay of the attack just now, shook his head and sighed: "Xu is too horizontal! The Cavaliers had four players defending him this round, but they still found an opportunity and made a key three-pointer."

McGrady said: "This is why he is considered the strongest player. When opponents are against the Lakers, they will always try their best to defend Xu, but no one has ever succeeded. Only the Michael Jordan."

"Don't move him out for now." Reggie Miller laughed, "It will be considered arrogant."

"This is a fact. If Xu can lead the team to the championship, his achievements in the first season are unprecedented, and he should be compared with Michael."

While the two commentators were talking about honor, the Lakers and Cavaliers benches were another scene.

Tyronn Lue had no choice but to encourage Shumpert: "Iman, you are the best player for the Cavaliers to defend Xu. In the end, there is only more than one minute left. Do your best and don't leave yourself any regrets."

Shumpert was exhausted on the defensive end, and the sweat on his face kept appearing, but he knew that now was the most important moment, so he tried to breathe steadily, and nodded to accept Tyronn Lue's words.

Pause ends, game continues!
All the Lakers bench players got up and stood on the sidelines to watch the last minute or so of the game.

It seemed that Xu Tian's words "ready to celebrate victory" were still echoing in Nick Young's ears. Looking at Xu Tian, ​​who lowered his center of gravity at the top of the arc, he really didn't know what kind of magic power this player possessed.

James dribbled the ball at the top of the arc, looking for Xu Tian's defensive loopholes, but he suddenly discovered that Xu Tian's defense had no flaws.At this time, he can only choose to rely on the unsolvable right breakthrough.

After the Lakers exhausted their wheels in six games, James' physical reserves were reduced by more than half. He has been playing games throughout the second half, and his strength has dropped a lot compared to when he was in a full state.This is the first time, his strength is weaker than Xu Tian.

This is also the deadliest one.

Xu Tian touched the basketball with his left hand and poked it to the center line.Since Xu Tian ran head-on, he got the basketball first.

James was fast enough, but he still couldn't fight back. In the panic, the thug fouled and sent Xu Tian to the free throw line!

Xu Tian's expression was calm, he didn't think about whether he would win the game at all, and focused on this round.Two free throws, steady!

115-110, 59.2 seconds!
Quicken Loans Center arena is very quiet, as if the audience here does not exist.

Xu Tian urgently defended James and restricted his route of receiving the serve.

Tristan Thompson didn't dare to send it to James easily, and gave it to Irving to let him dribble to the frontcourt.

Owen was only afraid of Xu Tian's defense, and he was not afraid at all when facing George. He swayed in front of him, and with the help of Love's cover, he forced a three-pointer!
Big Shot!

115-113, 48.6 seconds!
When the Cavaliers fans saw the goal, they shouted "defense" in unison to help the team's morale.

Shumpert stuck to Xu Tian like a candy bar, and stretched his hands upwards, trying to interfere with him catching the ball.

Xu Tian switched to a back-up posture, carried Shumpert away, easily received the serve, dribbled the ball and turned around to pass the defense, and accelerated to the forward court.

All the players of the Cavaliers focused on Xu Tian, ​​and ran to the front of Xu Tian's route one after another, defending with all their strength.

The restricted area has once again become a position to be emptied!

Bryant imagined he had the ball in his hands, made a full run toward the rim, jumped up, and found the ball was right in front of him.
