Irving's three-pointer with the ball is very threatening. His step-back, or lateral move, is unpredictable and hard to guard against.

In the previous Eastern Conference playoffs, Irving was unstoppable.

But the Lakers still have a way to deal with it. The Kobe Lakers abandoned JR Smith and rushed to Irving.

With Kobe's height of 198, he stretched out his hands, and Irving couldn't do it at all!
Coupled with Lin Shuhao's double-teaming, Irving was in trouble all of a sudden, and he had to pass the ball to James through the gap.

Seeing that the offensive time was running out, James decided to play one himself.

Although he has super organizational skills, the basic set is still his breakthrough.

Only when he has a threat to break through and shrink the Lakers' defensive formation, will his passing be more effective.

Facing Xu Feng, James made three threats, suddenly started, and rushed to the right, while sinking his shoulders, trying to squeeze through with his strong body.

However, although Xu Feng does not look as strong as James, his strength is not in vain at all.

boom!
boom!
The bodies of the two collided continuously, and it felt like sparks were about to explode.

James was actually bounced away!
The other Lakers players were very conscious and stepped aside completely, leaving Xu Feng to fight James alone.

This is a duel between the stars of the two teams, others get out of the way!

James half-turned, wanting to be extravagant, but Xu Feng saw through again, moving his feet quickly, blocking his breakthrough route.

With only 2 seconds left in the attack time, James had no choice but to step back and make a jumper.

Xu Feng also saw the time and knew that when he retreated, he was going to shoot, so he jumped high and stretched out his hand to block the shot.

It was too late for James to change his tactics.

boom!
Xu Feng pressed the ball down hard, and at the same time, the timer light came on, and the Cavaliers' 24-second attack time was up!

The Lakers serve.

The Staples Center cheered thunderously, and the fans were all excited.

A successful defense is sometimes more inspiring than an offense!
James' face became even uglier.

He originally wanted to respond with a ball, but was humiliated again by Xu Feng.

In the next game, the Lakers relied on defense to completely suppress the Cavaliers' offense.

Irving, Love, all lost the rhythm of the game.

At 5 minutes and 32 seconds into the first quarter, an official timeout was entered.

The score between the two teams was 14:7, with the Lakers leading by 7 points.

Xu Feng scored 6 points, Kobe 5 points, McGee 2 points, and Tucker 1 point.

For the Cavaliers, James scored 2 points and Irving scored 5 points.

Cavaliers head coach Blatter was very helpless. He wanted the Cavaliers to change their style of play, and James gave up the ball appropriately.

But James didn't agree at all, and even threw the towel on Blatter.

The atmosphere in the Cavaliers is a bit subtle, the players didn't speak, and they only listen to James now.

Blatter didn't say anything, and sat back on the coach's bench, staring at the court in a daze.

On the Lakers side, the morale of the players is high.

After six fierce battles with the Warriors, they have adapted to high-intensity games.

They found that the game against the Cavaliers was really not as difficult as the Warriors.

Because the Cavaliers' outside line is not difficult to defend. Although Irving is very powerful, his shots are still reasonable shots. As long as he strengthens the pressing, he can be restricted.

And the Splash Brothers of the Warriors are completely unreasonable shots, which are too difficult to guard.

However, Xu Feng still told his teammates that the previous article should not be careless, and the defense must be done well!

Only by doing a good job of defense can we play the characteristics of the Lakers on offense!

After the timeout ended, the situation on the field did not change. The Lakers still had the upper hand, suppressing the Cavaliers on both offense and defense.

Although James tried his best, tank breakthroughs, fast breaks, and second passes, all were used.

But still can't stop the Lakers' mad attack.

At the end of the first quarter, the score between the two sides was 37:25, and the Lakers led by 12 points!
Xu Feng played full in the first quarter, because James also played full, and only Xu Feng can match up with James.

In the first quarter, Xu Feng scored 16 points, Kobe Bryant scored 11 points, James scored 10 points and sent 2 assists.

Although James is not bad in statistics, anyone who watches the game knows that his tactics have been cracked by the Lakers.

Breakthroughs, passes, and even his sneaky three-pointers were all destroyed by the Lakers.

When James left the field, he looked disappointed.

This time he formed the Big Three for the second time, and he was originally full of confidence.

Who knows that the Lakers turned out to be a stumbling block for James to reach the top, can he not be angry?
At the beginning of the second quarter, both sides sent substitutes.

After fighting with the Warriors, the Lakers' substitute has improved a lot. Whether it is fighting spirit or the tacit understanding of skills and tactics, they are much better.

So facing the Cavaliers, they immediately took advantage, and the point difference further widened.

第二节战至6分03秒,两队比分44:30,湖人领先14分了。

Blatter had no choice but to replace the main force again, making the last fight in the first half.

The Lakers also replaced the main force, and Xu Feng stood in front of James again.

James now has a headache whenever he sees Xu Feng. He really can't beat Xu Feng, because his height and strength are a bit weaker.

And in terms of speed, Xu Feng is not slow, he can completely keep up with his footsteps.

Although James came up, he used the pick-and-roll to make a breakthrough.

But then the Lakers adopted unlimited defense changes, Xu Feng actively supplemented the defense, and James couldn't break through again.

Later, when Xu Feng was at the far end, he managed to get one.

But McGee suddenly shot out from a diagonal stab and blocked his ball.

This is the terrible thing about the Lakers. Everyone is helping to defend, and everyone is defending alone.

Although this kind of defense consumes a lot of physical strength, the effect it brings is also obvious.

The point difference was further widened. At the end of the first half, the score between the two sides was 57:36, and the Lakers led by 21 points!
This is the finals!

I didn't expect it to be even more exaggerated than the Western Conference finals, and it was a waste of halftime!
The home fans were overjoyed. Thinking about watching the Western Conference Finals a few days ago, they almost had a heart attack.

I thought the finals would be more difficult, and even some pessimistic fans felt that they couldn't beat the Cavaliers.

Who would have thought that the first match would be so easy!
……

In the Fujixun Sports live broadcast room, today's host is Ke Fan, and the guest is Su Qun.

Both of them are fans of Xu Feng, so they had high hopes for the Lakers from the beginning.

But they still gave affirmation to the Cavaliers.

It is not so easy to easily break out from the East.

James has stood on the finals for the sixth time, and this honor is already remarkable.

"Mr. Su Qun, why is there such a big gap between the Lakers and Cavaliers? It's only halftime!" Ke Fan asked.

Su Qun said slowly: "Obviously, the Lakers are more prepared. They seem to know every tactic of the Cavaliers. As soon as the Cavaliers make a move, they ran to the most correct defensive position."

"Such Lakers are really hard to beat!"
