Chapter 79 Goat?

Wanting to perish, shilling is crazy.

Zheng Long's "second" scheming, although very "six", has obviously begun to work.

Owen's emotions began to explode.

"Can you shut up!"

"You're like a fly!"

"Do not you upset!"

The angrier Owen became and the more out of control his emotions became, the more calm Zheng Long became.

"Why, did you talk about the depths of your heart?"

Owen was silent.

The quarrel between the two attracted the attention of other players, and the referee quickly came over and stood between the two.

Avoid further escalation of the situation.

James pulled Owen behind him, frowned and looked at Zheng Long.

James didn't hear what the two said, James just subconsciously kept his teammates behind.

Zheng Long found this scene very interesting.

Smiling and spreading his hands back.

Standing behind James, Owen was even more angry when he saw Zheng Long's smile.

He couldn't contain his emotions as James turned to comfort him.

"What's the matter, Carey, what did he say to you?"

"Does it have anything to do with you?"

Owen's rhetorical question made James very hurt, and he was speechless for a while.

Tyronn Lue on the sidelines keenly noticed the subtle atmosphere on the court.

Immediately called a timeout and replaced Owen.

Owen reluctantly left the stage, turning his head to look at Zheng Long from time to time, Zheng Long was still smiling.

James shook his head helplessly.

I have seen a lot of out-of-control moments on the court.

To be honest, I am very curious.

What did this bald head say to Owen, which made Owen, who has always been "good-tempered", lose control rarely.

The episode made James more cautious.

Love is already injured, Irving shouldn't have any more problems, otherwise today's game will be really hard to play.

Fortunately, Tyronn Lue ran over to appease Owen immediately after Owen was off the court.

Although perch is very average in tactics.

But his emotional intelligence is very high, and he has a good relationship with the players. The players also respect and love him, and so does Irving.

With Tyronn Lue looking at Owen, Owen's emotions should recover soon.
James rubbed his hands together, refocusing himself on the court.

Due to the 24-second violation by the Cavaliers just now, the possession of the ball was converted and the Lakers attacked.

Zheng Long advanced with the ball to the frontcourt smartly, and Shumpert quickly put up defense.

At this time, the team urgently needs to chase points. Of course, Zheng Long played the goal himself.

Facing Shumpert at the top of the arc, changing hands under the crotch, changing direction in front of the body, passing Shumpert in one step, reaching the inside, and scoring with a light throw!
Cavaliers 12-8 Lakers!

Single-defense scoring is too easy for Zheng Long. Whether he can score or not depends entirely on how he feels?
but.

Tyronn Lue, who is best at dead grass superstars and double-team superstars, is going to only let Shumpert defend alone today?

It can't be that I'm not qualified enough, right?

Zheng Long was also very surprised, and even looked forward to how the Cavaliers will adopt their own defensive strategy next.

But until the end of the first quarter, it was always Shumpert's single defense.

With Shumpert's single defense, Zheng Long made 9 of 6 shots in the first quarter and scored 14 points.

14 points in a single quarter is as simple as drinking water for Zheng Long.

For the Cavaliers, after Irving left the court, James took the initiative to carry the banner of the team's offense.

The average NBA player is 33 years old and is about to retire.

But James, on the contrary, ushered in the maturity of his skills after the age of 30.

The shooting ability that was often criticized in his youth can be regarded as half of his training over time.

Especially the three-point ability, this season's three-point shooting rate is temporarily as high as 38%.

However, James, who has increased his long-range shots, has not decreased but increased in terms of efficiency and shooting percentage.

自09-10赛季之后，除了14-15赛季，整体的投篮命中率都稳定在了50%以上。

This season's efficiency is even more prominent, and his shooting percentage has reached 55%.

It seems that he is no longer the little emperor who flew into the sky and escaped from the ground, but on the offensive end, he can shoot and shoot, making him still unstoppable.

Butler has tried his best to limit James, but still can't prevent James from scoring 12 points in the first quarter, helping the Cavaliers stabilize their advantage.

At the end of the first quarter, the Cavaliers 22-20 the Lakers.

The Lakers are still behind!
In the first quarter, both Zheng Long and James played the full 12 minutes.

In such an intense game, the head coaches of both sides did not replace their superstars.

Break time.

James was finally able to return to the bench for a short rest and looked at Irving with concern.

Irving smiled back, and James was relieved.

Owen has calmed down.

After calming down, Owen temporarily forgot what Zheng Long said about "boss" and "second child".

I can't say enough about that bald head.

Then try to help the team win the game!

This is the real counterattack!

On the other hand, Walton is very satisfied that the Lakers players can stabilize the situation and catch up to the two-point difference.

After all, at the beginning of the game, the Cavaliers almost beat the Lakers directly.

But for James' restrictions, Wharton still couldn't think of a better way.

How about asking Zheng Long to try it?
"Well, Dragon, why don't you come face-to-face with James in the second quarter?"

As soon as Wharton said it, he regretted it a little.

Was my head kicked by a donkey?
Isn't it a joke to let a guard guard against a powerful small forward like James?

"Okay, I'll try, but I can't guarantee that I will be able to prevent it."

Zheng Long agreed decisively.

It just so happens that I also want to experience the impact of "The Chosen One" for myself.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Irving returned to the court.

This is not good news for the Lakers, because it means that James is excluded.

The Cavaliers have another offensive point.

Moreover, the Lakers will not naively think that when Irving returns to the court again, he will choose to play singles without thinking!
The Lakers offensive round.

Zheng Long led four substitute players including Ingram and McGee.

In addition to James and Irving, the Cavaliers also replaced three substitutes.

In the past few minutes, it is destined to be a 1V2 battle!
Zheng Long directly received the serve and advanced, the Lakers players opened up space for Zheng Long, and McGee took the initiative to come to the top of the arc to pick and roll.

JaVale McGee was supposed to be scooped up by the Warriors in the offseason, but at Zheng Long's suggestion, the Lakers scooped it up.

After catching it, Wharton found that McGee was surprisingly easy to use.

After all, the physical condition is here, and McGee's height, wingspan and jumping are inherent advantages.

Abnormal athletic ability + 2 meters 13 height.

Although the basketball IQ is extremely low, he can't shoot, and he has no skills, but it's just right to throw him on the bench and play chaotic games during the rotation.

As for his pick-and-roll, he has no block.

Although the individual is big, he can't hang people at all.

McGee's pick-and-roll this time came entirely from his own ideas.

Instead, he pulled TT to Zheng Long.

Zheng Long was a little helpless, and gestured to McGee, indicating that McKee could run to the low position, and McGee ran back with a smile.

Even the Cavaliers players couldn't help laughing when they saw this scene.

What an idiot.

Then, Zheng Long suddenly lobbed the ball to the basket. When McGee saw the ball coming, he took the ball and smashed it into the basket.

Bang! ! !
Deafening!
Cavaliers 22-22 Lakers!

"The Lakers finally tied the score!"

"It still comes from the connection between Zheng Long and McGee!"

"This should be Zheng Long's first assist to McGee this season!"

McKee ran over with a smile and high-fived Zheng Long.

At the same time, raise your arms high and show off your huge muscles!
For the equalizer.

The Cavaliers are naturally eager to overtake again.

James came to the frontcourt with the ball, Zheng Long took the initiative to complete the defense with Ingram!

With a height of 1 meters, Zheng Long is already a "little giant" among ordinary people.

In front of James, he looked thin, weak, and small.

For Zheng Long, before the game started, James was more curious, surprised by what he had achieved leading the Lakers, and his average data per game.

But with the "Owen incident" in the first quarter, James is now full of hostility towards Zheng Long!
James lowered his center of gravity, ready to give Zheng Long a little "breakthrough shock".

Facing Zheng Long, a defender with a small physique.

James is confident.

Just let yourself rush!

Even if Zheng Long is hung on his body, he can break in!

"The matchup between James and Zheng Long!"

"Before the Cavaliers played against the Lakers, I believe many viewers have been looking forward to this moment for a long time!"

"Let's see what James will do!"

Live barrage.

[Here we come, Zhan Long duels! 】

[Brother Long even took the initiative to switch defenses against James, tough! 】

【Zhan Huang Chong Chong Chong! 】

[With Zheng Long's physique, switching to James is a bit too self-righteous, right? 】

Zheng Long was naturally ready to fight at this time, showing [-]% concentration.

In the first half of the season, Zheng Long has become the nightmare of all defenders in the league.

No defender can eat Zheng Long in a one-on-one situation.

And Zheng Long is constantly challenging his limits.

In addition to defenders, he has also defended many strikers.

But this is definitely the first time for a striker of James' level of physical fitness.

Although he faced Leonard against the Spurs, Leonard's singles ability is very average, and the ability to hold the ball has only been developed in recent years.

James is different. When he first entered the league, he played with the ball.

Being able to play with the ball means being able to play singles.

James chose to attack from the 45-degree flank, dribbled into the three-point line, and turned his back.

When Zheng Long and James collided together.

Immediately felt the pressure from a force.

But on the other hand, James was also surprised.

Although I can barely lean back, every movement follows Zheng Long's strong "resistance".

James had to turn around.

But at this moment of turning around, Zheng Long seized this opportunity and attacked directly.

Ruthless iron hand!

Hit the ball!
The commentator exclaimed when he saw this scene!
"Steal the ball! It's a steal!"

"But James reacted very quickly!"

"He got the ball back!"

Cold sweat broke out on James' back. The moment just now was too dangerous, and he almost lost the ball.

Zheng Long, who failed to steal the ball, was not in a hurry, and continued to stand ready.

This time, the dribble was destroyed, and the fans in the Quicken Loans Arena almost had a heart attack!
This is the first head-to-head confrontation between Zheng Long and James!

If this was directly intercepted by Zheng Long.

It is estimated that James will have another famous scene in the future!
However, this dribble destruction has already consumed half of the offensive time of the round.

Usually in this situation, James is more willing to "share" the ball.

But today, he was a little unconvinced!

Because he thought again that in the All-Star voting, Zheng Long also snatched away his "Voting King".

Although I have comforted myself, after all, behind Zheng Long is a country.

But I have to prove it today.

I am the No.1 in the league today!
Yes.

Just like the pictures of kings and goats and goats that James often tweets on Twitter.

James has always believed that he can surpass, or can already be compared with Jordan.

Since it is goat!

It's okay to hit you, right?
James thought so, and started a new round of breakthroughs. This time, he chose to dribble directly into it.

but!

Zheng Long suddenly moved laterally, directly blocking James' breakthrough path on the right!

Although Zheng Long paid a certain price for this defense, he was hit by James and his chest hurt.

But successfully forced James to the left!
And this is Zheng Long's strategy!
Since he was going to play the Cavaliers, Zheng Long naturally studied James' video before the game.

Zheng Long found that James' breakthrough is indeed unsolvable, but only on the right side!

When James breaks through from the left, he will habitually choose an emergency stop jumper!

Of course Zheng Long would not be so stupid as to directly confront James, like a 200-pound fat man rushing up, you only have 100 jins, no matter how strong your core strength is, can you resist it?

The greater the mass, the greater the inertia.

You can't fight against the laws of nature.

Therefore, forcing James to the left is Zheng Long's single-defense strategy!

Of course, James didn't think so much. He couldn't rush from the right, so he went from the left, and then came to the paint area.

Because Zheng Long was pressing all the time, James didn't rush up, he stopped immediately, and was about to choose a fadeaway jumper!

If it is said that Jordan and Kobe's backs are picturesque.

Then James's backward movement is really not very good-looking. Of course, James himself doesn't care, as long as he can advance.

And James' fadeaway jumper, with the blessing of his height, wingspan and jumping ability, is indeed one of his conventional offensive weapons today.

Just this time.

He was facing Zheng Long.

Zheng Long had already prepared for James' fadeaway jumper.

The biggest problem with James' fadeaway jumper is that it is very low at the moment of starting, and his hands must be held up from his chest in a straight line.

And this moment.

It's your chance.

Iron Sand Palm slapped directly towards James' chest who was about to take off!
This palm!
Snapped! ! !
It hit the basketball between James' hands hard!
A loud bang!
"Block!!!"

"James was covered by Zheng Long!!!"

"Oh my god!!!"

"In the first head-to-head confrontation, Zheng Longji destroyed James' dribble, and at the moment James made a shot, he sent a big hot pot!"

"Today Zheng Long is amazing!"

"Irving and James were all covered by Zheng Long. Love should be glad that he didn't appear on the court today!"

"Otherwise, we have reason to believe that Zheng Long is planning to arrange a three-game hot pot set meal for the Cavaliers' Big Three!"

At this moment, the entire Quicken Loans Arena was as quiet as a pool of stagnant water.
