NBA: Trading Westbrook at the beginning shocked Lao Zhan

After the timeout ends, the Cavaliers have the ball on the playing field.

Jia Lan took the baseline ball from teammate Allen, took a deep breath, and then took the ball to the frontcourt.

After arriving in the frontcourt, Bradley of the Lakers immediately stuck close to him, defending Jia Lan impeccably.

This scene was just like the beginning of the first quarter, but unlike before, Jialan did not choose singles for this ball.

Because now it's the decisive moment that determines the victory of this game, and Jialan's physical strength does not support Jialan to do this kind of action frequently!

Therefore, Garland simply played the pick-and-roll that he is best at, and called his teammate Allen to come to the pick-and-roll, which caused the Lakers to switch defenses. Garland faced the Lakers insider Howard head-on.

Facing Howard, who also had bottomed out physical strength and had a very slow pace, Jialan started singles without hesitation.

A levitation dribble was connected behind the crotch, his eyes were slightly aimed at the basket, shaking Howard's center of gravity, and then he stepped on the ground decisively to accelerate the breakthrough. A small throw, easy to score!
Jialan played this ball very easily and freely, and it can be said that he hardly consumed much energy.

This can't be helped. Although Howard's fuel tank is still full of fuel, he can only go to the top center to defend small guards like Jialan. Howard can use his long arms to interfere when he is full of physical strength, but Now, Howard's physical strength has bottomed out, and Howard can't prevent him from adding blue to the matchup.

This made Vogel off the field couldn't help but shook his head, and quickly shouted loudly at the field: "Guys, cheer me up! Howard, move faster. Switch defenses again!"

Hearing Vogel's words, Howard nodded embarrassedly, and then gestured to show that he understood.

At the same time, he sighed softly.

Boucher next to him saw Howard's exhaustion, so he ran to his side and patted Howard on the shoulder: "Dude, take it easy and do your best!"

Howard barely pulled out an arc of his mouth, smiled, and then took the initiative to return to the baseline, took the basketball from the referee, and passed the ball to his teammate Brogdon.

After Brogdon received the ball, he slowly moved forward. He had already seen Howard's exhaustion. Therefore, Brogdon was not going to let Howard finish the ball inside, and simply hit a shooter's off-ball running position Ball shooting tactics.

Raising his right hand high, Brogdon slowly made a "2" tactical gesture, and then landed at the top of the arc.

After the rest of the Lakers saw Brogdon's gesture, they immediately moved quickly. Howard and Boucher took the initiative to run to the free throw line to make a double screen for Covington, who was running without the ball.

As a high-quality 3D, Covington is naturally a unique skill in running without the ball. I saw him moving quickly with the defender behind him in the pick-and-roll set up by his teammates.

Boucher and Howard's pick-and-roll quality is also very good, helping Covington block the defender behind him.

Covington also quickly moved to the left 45 degrees, ready to catch the ball and shoot.

At this time, Covington happened to have a gap, and Le Fu, who was on the side, saw this and rushed over!
But at this moment, Boucher and Howard, who were originally picking and rolling for Covington, exchanged glances, and then Boucher quickly turned around and moved behind Howard. At the same time, Howard quickly slid down.

Boucher blocked the defender behind him for Howard. Howard was inside at this time, and there was no defender around him at all.

Brogdon also noticed this scene, flicked his right hand, and the basketball passed directly to the inside.

Howard saw the right opportunity, jumped high, caught the basketball in the air, and smashed the basketball into the basket heavily!

The Lakers scored 2 points!
The ball returned to the hands of the Cavaliers.

Jialan took the ball to the front court and began to adjust the Cavaliers' running positions. Now Jialan's physical strength has been exhausted, so Jialan is not going to play this ball by himself.

I saw Garambit making a "5" tactical gesture, and then all members of the Cavaliers began to move.

Love ran to the low post, firmly stuck Boucher behind his back, and then opened his hands frantically for the ball. At the same time, the rest of the Cavaliers began to open up space to create low-post one-on-one opportunities for Love.

Seeing this, Love quickly signaled Jialan to pass the ball.

Seeing this, Howard, the insider of the Lakers, quickly asked Boucher if he wanted to help defend.

Hearing Howard's words, Boucher waved his hand and made a gesture, signaling Howard not to come to help defend!
Obviously, Boucher just wants to defend one-on-one, and have a touch with Love!
At this time, Love has successfully received the pass from Jialan, and then Love pushed Boucher behind him with his butt.

But the embarrassing thing is that after a push, Le Fu did not push!
This is very difficult to fight, and Love reluctantly began to use technical moves such as turning around.

I have to say that Love's experience is very sophisticated, and he is very skilled in various technical movements. After turning around twice in a row, Love finally passed a small space, and then quickly connected to the jump shot!

Seeing this, Boucher took a small step up, stretched out his right hand, and firmly interfered with Love's shooting.

But it was still a step too late, and Love finally scored 2 points with a good touch.

In this way, the ball returned to the hands of the Lakers.

After the Lakers Brogdon got the ball, he quickly moved towards the frontcourt. Before the Cavaliers were in position, Brogdon grabbed Jia Lan, who was defending in front, and kicked the ground directly to accelerate.

At the start, he carried Jia Lan into the inside, and after attracting the Cavaliers' inside defense, Brogdon shook his little hand, and the basketball quickly passed to Boucher, who was open on the outside.

After Boucher received the ball, he caught and shot directly, and made a steady three-pointer.

In the next few rounds, the two teams have been in a stalemate, and the point difference has not changed much.

This made Vogel very anxious, because there are still 3 minutes before the end of the game, but the Lakers still have 8 points to fill!
In desperation, Vogel can only pin his hopes on Anthony and Bembry, who played very well before!

Replace Bradley and Boucher, let Anthony and Bembry play.

The game restarted, the Lakers had the ball, Brogdon dribbled to the frontcourt, and directly chose to pass the ball to Anthony.

Now there are only a few minutes left in the game, tactics and so on, the role is not too big, what is needed now is the performance of the stars!
It can be said that the last few minutes of the game is superstar time!
But now that both James and Thick Eyebrows of the Lakers are injured, the only thing the Lakers can count on is the experienced and fiery Anthony!
