Chapter 596 The boos of Quicken Loans Arena

The two teams in the middle had a two-day break due to the change of home and away games. After two days of rest, the Lakers gathered at the Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland, preparing to challenge the Cavaliers away. If the Lakers can still win steadily, then this series can basically declare the victory of the Lakers, but the Cavaliers will definitely not give up the championship title to the Lakers so easily. In this game, the Lakers are bound to receive their tightest defense this season, and the fans at home will try their best to help the Cavaliers come to the Lakers to put pressure on them.

At the start of the game, Gasol overwhelmed Tristan Thompson and gave the racket to Solomon Hill. After receiving the ball, Solomon Hill dribbled two steps forward, and then immediately handed the ball to Ye Xuan , but as soon as Ye Xuan received the basketball, there was a burst of super boos from the audience. This sound made Ye Xuan feel much more exaggerated than when he went to the Spurs home court to play the finals.

The ESPN commentators on the sidelines today are two brothers Jeff Van Gundy and Mark Jackson. These two are also doing very well in ESPN now, and they have the feeling of singing against TNT's cross talk troupe. As soon as he heard the huge boos suddenly came from the court, Van Gundy immediately said, "It can be seen that the atmosphere of the Cavaliers' home court today is very good. Such a devil's home court can put great pressure on the away players on the court, but I don't think so. Knowing whether this kind of pressure will have an impact on Ye Xuan and others, you must know whether it is Ye Xuan, Wade or Gasol, these three have proved themselves in the finals, maybe the Lakers Other young players will be affected, but I think the three main players of the Lakers should not be affected too much."

Mark Jackson immediately answered, "We all know that this situation is very difficult for the Cavaliers. They are 0:2 behind. This game has almost pushed them into a corner. If this game still fails to win If the final victory, then I feel that the Cavaliers may even be at risk of being swept away. If the Cavaliers can break up the momentum of the Lakers in this game, then the Cavaliers may have an advantage in the next game .”

Leaving aside the analysis of the two commentators on the sidelines, Ye Xuan's performance was not affected by the boos at all. A super long three-point shot, George Hill, who was in charge of defending Ye Xuan, was still stepping back and observing the positions of other players at this time, he didn't notice Ye Xuan's action at all, and after Ye Xuan hit the three-pointer, the scene The audience also turned off their lights in an instant for about two seconds, and then there was another burst of boos, but Ye Xuan completely ignored these boos and slowly retreated to the backcourt to defend.

After James came to the frontcourt with the ball, Solomon Hill's jelly candy was quickly posted on it. Unlike Leonard's defense that relied on footwork and body together, Solomon Hill relied more on his own death. Stalkers and lateral moves are used to defend.Therefore, when James is defended by Solomon, his physical consumption will be even greater. This time, James did not choose to attack by himself, and directly handed the ball to Kyrie Irving. Xuan came to score points, but how could Ye Xuan give him this opportunity, and a direct lateral move got stuck on Owen's breakthrough route. Owen had no choice but to pass the ball back to James to reorganize the attack.

After James took the ball again, he saw that the attack time was less than 8 seconds, so he chose to make a direct and forced breakthrough. After taking two steps inward with the advantage of his physical strength, he scored a ball and found Solomon Hill who had just ran out of the open space. , Solomon Hill received the ball without hesitation and directly hit a 3-pointer.It turned out that after Wade and Solomon Hill switched defenses, they failed to chase George Hill in time. When they started chasing defense, they were blocked by Tristan Thompson. George Hill took the opportunity to catch Seizing the opportunity to slip the baseline and run out of space, then received a pass in the right corner and hit a three-pointer.

Ye Xuan was also very upset when he saw that his opponent immediately returned a three-pointer.After receiving the serve from the bottom line in the backcourt, Ye Xuan immediately took the ball to the frontcourt and called Larry Nance Jr. to help with the pick-and-roll. A difficult three-pointer was made, and the boos on the scene were still there, but it was obviously a little embarrassing by Ye Xuan's two consecutive three-pointers, so the boos were a little quieter.

The Cavaliers attacked with the ball again. This time the Lakers still let Solomon Hill defend, in order to let James consume more energy, so that his role on the offensive end gradually decreased. James held the ball and watched Solomon Hill in front of him also seemed very upset, and he was about to break through the opponent forcibly, but after James started, the Lakers immediately shrank the defense and double-teamed him, so James had to attack again. The ball was passed out, and it was Irving who caught the ball. After receiving the ball, Irving did not stop, and directly handed the ball to Tristan Thompson. The ball was thrown, but unfortunately this shot ended in a strike.

But I have to say something about Love's performance today. It can be described as very active. Even though he didn't participate in the touches of these two offenses, his off-ball screens and inside cuts put some pressure on the Lakers' inside line. After Tristan Thompson hit the ball, it was Love again, who overwhelmed Gasol and grabbed the offensive rebound. After grabbing the offensive rebound, Love did not choose to pass the ball anymore, but turned around directly. Hit the ball with the hook.The audience at the scene also gave their applause and cheers without hesitation, which was in stark contrast to the boos just now.

The Lakers had no choice but to serve from the backcourt. Ye Xuan slowly controlled the basketball and came to the frontcourt. This time he did not choose to shoot a three-pointer from the outside, because George Hill directly chose to lead the defense, which made Ye Xuan The room for movement that Xuan can get is very limited, and Ye Xuan doesn't want to shoot wildly from the outside, so that the opponent's defense can't feel the pressure. If the wave shot is gone, it will be embarrassing to win the game again.So Ye Xuan chose to pass the ball this time, but instead of simply handing the ball to Wade for singles, he called Larry Nance Jr. to help with the pick-and-roll, and then came a breakthrough pass. The effect is relatively mediocre, but it still helps Wade tear up some space in the interior. Wade also decisively chooses to break through again after receiving the ball, and finally avoids Love's defense in the air and scores a backhand layup.

Looking back, James continued to catch the ball in the frontcourt and prepare to organize the offense, but this time James did not choose to single Solomon Hill forcibly, but waved Tristan Thompson to help with the pick-and-roll, and then passed Solomon- After that, Hill faced Ye Xuan's supplementary defense and forcibly pulled up a two-pointer. Although this was not actually James' regular offensive method, it still allowed him to hit it.

In the following round, the Lakers' offense also began to have problems. After Ye Xuan came to the front court with the ball, he called Gasol for a pick-and-roll, and then began to break through with the ball. The opponent immediately divided up to double-team Ye Xuan. Ye Xuan Naturally, he habitually distributed the ball to the outside. Wade caught the ball and quickly passed it to the unguarded Solomon Hill. The huge pressure made his hands feel a little cold, so the ball was a little outrageous, and it fell into Irving's hands after three non-sticks. After holding the basketball firmly, Irving took advantage of the situation and launched a fast break.

Owen's speed is good. Of course, the Lakers' defense speed is also good, but James's speed is even more astonishing. The ball directly hit the ball with a one-armed dunk, and the audience on the scene once again burst into cheers, and the cries of MVP also began to ring out. His status can indeed allow him to enjoy this kind of treatment here.

But after that, the feel of the two teams began to decline. In the next two or three rounds, the offenses of the two teams ended in iron strikes. The super high shooting percentage at the beginning dropped in an instant, but this also reflected the two teams from the side A certain amount of effort has been put into defense, so there will be a phenomenon that makes it difficult for opponents to score goals.However, while the two teams were fighting each other, Jeff Van Gundy on the sidelines also discovered something unusual, so he took advantage of the relatively dull scene to express his findings, "Mark, do you think there is something unusual on the court?" Is there something different?"

Mark Jackson is still scratching his head at this moment, how can this be explained when the game starts to fight each other?So he replied angrily, "What's the difference? Are there really two transparent covers on the basket in Quicken Loans Arena today?"

Van Gundy shrugged with a smile, and then said, "Have you noticed something wrong between Tristan Thompson and Irving? The pick-and-roll is Love, what happened to these two? They were rookies selected by the Cavaliers in the same year. No matter who in the Cavaliers has conflicts with whom, I can’t imagine that they are at odds. .”

Compared with Van Gundy's unobtrusiveness, Mark Jackson was much more cautious, and quickly said, "Jeff, let's not take the matter of their team's locker room as an example. The reason why the two of them did not cooperate may be Is it because the tactics do not have the tactics that the two of them cooperate with? Or it’s just that Love is just calling it easy, you can’t say that others are in conflict just because you don’t cooperate for a few rounds, right?”

Jeff Van Gundy smiled noncommittally. Anyway, he was just looking for something to say, so he didn't struggle with this matter, and the two teams on the field didn't have a long relationship. The Cavaliers were in the game. In the 8th minute, he took advantage of a dead ball to replace George Hill and replaced Korver, and at the same time replaced Tristan Thompson and replaced Richard Jefferson.The Lakers did not make any substitutions. As long as their current lineup is smooth, they can spend the game in minutes.

After the substitution was over, the Lakers served from the sideline. Ye Xuan slowly controlled the basketball and came beyond the three-point line. The current situation is not clear, and both sides are still in a stalemate, but at this time, Ye Xuan or James is more needed. Facing Richard Jefferson who was defending him, Ye Xuan didn't skimp on his physical strength this time. He changed direction twice in a row and took a step back, and then suddenly started again and finally managed to get rid of the deadlock. Jefferson's defense successfully caused Love's foul after entering the penalty area. Although the goal was not scored, it was not able to score 2+1 for the team. However, for Ye Xuan, two free throws and a mid-range shot had the effect it's the same.

With two free throws, Ye Xuan's score has quietly reached 10 points. You must know that the Lakers only scored 19 points in total, and Ye Xuan alone contributed half of it.But looking back, James also started to work hard. There is no way. Unlike the Lakers' three-core team, although the current Cavaliers also have three star players, Irving is completely locked up, and Love is not very active. , There are not many ways to help the Cavaliers break the deadlock in the offensive position, so the Cavaliers can only rely on James' personal ability to break out of the siege after being deadlocked.

But I have to say that James' personal ability is indeed strong. After he took possession of the ball and came to the frontcourt, he immediately used his body to force Solomon Hill, who had not yet settled down, and knocked Solomon Hill away in two steps. Then a horse-riding archery-style shot made the ball.Although the Lakers were not reconciled, they could only serve the ball in the backcourt. After Ye Xuan took control of the ball and came to the frontcourt, he immediately handed the ball to Wade, hoping that Wade would return the favor.

However, Wade is obviously not prepared to play the ball himself. After receiving the ball, he made two fake moves and then broke through two steps inward before passing the ball to the outside. Solomon Hill made a three-pointer after receiving the ball. Unfortunately, His touch still hasn't returned, and this three-pointer hit the iron again.After the Cavaliers grabbed the backcourt rebound, they quickly started to fight back. After James took control of the ball and came to the frontcourt, he hit the ground and passed the ball to Korver who had already run to the bottom line. Korver received the ball and it was a three Point shot, hand up and down, in the three-pointer, the Cavaliers have unknowingly achieved a 7-point lead.
