Chapter 263.
In the second half, the situation changed suddenly. The young Cavaliers Osman scored three-pointers in a row, and the point difference was close to ten.

The Lakers starters on the field seemed to be unable to play, their movements were numb and they made mistakes one after another.

As Lao Zhan missed a long three-pointer, the Cavaliers got a chance to narrow the score again.

Lin Feng sat quietly on the sidelines, the starters were really not reassuring.Sometimes inexplicably stagnated, offense and defense are both problems, exactly the same as the Lakers who forced a [-]-[-] split in the last world.

Osman held the ball and called a screen. Facing Kuzma, he chose to break through on the right.

Seeing that he entered the paint area, Osman suddenly swung the ball with his right hand and threw the ball to the diagonal three-point line on the other side.

The basketball crossed the half court and fell into the hands of Sexton, who had already ambushed, and the No. [-] pick made a three-pointer without hesitation.

With the knife in hand, the basketball bounced a few times on the basket and fell into the net!
The Cavaliers were only six points behind, relying on a wave of 12 to 2 to forcibly pull back the suspense.

Walton did not call a timeout for a long time, even if the Cavaliers caught up to nine points. He wanted the players to adjust themselves on the court.After all, organization masters like the old Zhan Rondo were all present, but except for the old Zhan Tank who scored two points for a layup, all the offenses in several rounds ended in failure.

Lao Zhan returned to the bench to drink water and rest, Kuzma Yingge and the others gathered around Wharton to listen to the tactical arrangements.

Tristan Thompson has been in a brave state since having his daughter, a bit of a shadow of the Warriors who came back that season. I have to say that his ability to protect the basket is still very good. With him, Love can be liberated.

"It's still us who are in the lead. We made some mistakes just now, but we can adjust right away. Brandon, you have to follow Sexton, no matter where he goes, you have to keep up. This is your task on the defensive end."

Wharton let Yingge defend Sexton alone, which is also the only way among the starters.Rondo had defense when he was young, but he is a veteran after all, so he can't expect too much.

Yingge originally wanted to play the second position to take advantage of his height and arm length. If the defensive end can limit the gradual Sexton, then this game is still very simple.

Walton understands that Lin Feng is the best candidate to defend the No. 5 pick of the Cavaliers. He has proved his defensive strength against Sexton in the second quarter, but it is not yet time for him to play, and he needs to wait at least [-] minutes, which is the second quarter. The second half of the third quarter.

Lao Zhan doesn't need to work too hard on defense, his physical fitness should stay on offense and organization.When the team can't start the situation, he needs to stand up and attack the city.

Back on the court, Lao Zhan immediately hit the basket with a tough tank and made a foul.

It was the old opponent Thompson who had the impact, and Thompson, who made the fourth offense, had to take a break, and Larry Nance played the fifth position.

Thompson's end is a good thing for the Lakers, because McGee can't take advantage of the matchup with that guy, and he will even lose rebounds.

Thompson, who was off the court, complained like a referee, but Lin Feng couldn't hear him from far away. He probably complained about Lao Zhan's offensive foul or something.

Korver once jokingly said that when you are on the same team as James, you feel like this guy will never get free throws.

Returning to Cleveland tonight, the referees seem to be interested in taking care of him. So far, he has sent Lao Zhan to the free throw line five times, so that this guy can also taste the taste of free throws.

It's just that Lao Zhan was not strong. He missed both free throws, and the Lakers felt sorry for the bench.

Thompson off the Cavaliers field smiled, as if to say that he was relieved to let James make free throws.

Big McGee tried to grab an offensive rebound, but was tightly blocked by Nance. Osman jumped up to take the rebound and then quickly held the ball across the half.

Handed over to Sexton, the young core, Yingge stepped forward to lead the defense. His lateral movement is a weakness, and he can easily be overwhelmed by a speedy defender.

Lin Feng looked a little worried, he understood this very well, he has been helping Yingge improve in the training match, overall it has eased a lot compared to before the start of the match, but he will still be caught by the opponent.

It was a very good opportunity, but the other four Cavaliers seemed to have short-circuited their heads and stood there without moving. Nance under the basket was still inside with Damai Base Station.

The breakthrough space was locked, and Sexton hesitated to dribble, no matter how much he called his teammates, he couldn't run out of the space.

Sexton had no choice but to prepare for a long shot from outside the three-point line, and Yingge's posting was not far or close, which made him uncomfortable.

With four seconds left, the No. [-] pick of the Cavaliers had no choice but to shoot a long two-pointer, and was almost blocked by Yingge's long arm.

The thrown basketball hit the basket with a bang, and the Cavaliers hurriedly ended their attack.

There was an opportunity to continue to shorten the point difference, but an uncoordinated attack lost the opportunity.

Tyronn Lue on the sidelines yelled anxiously, he was annoyed by the players' performance just now.

The Lakers, who switched offense, did not give the Cavaliers another chance. Lao Zhan used the cover to hit the basket, and Larry Nance couldn't stop his desire to score anyway.

Rolled in a neat layup to stop the Cavaliers.

It was Tylen Lue's turn in a hurry, and the two sides returned to the bench in just two rounds.

68-60, the Lakers took back an eight-point lead, and the biggest point difference had reached 18 points, which means that the Cavaliers recovered a full ten points in the third quarter.

The Lakers' offensive strength and defensive weakness have been exposed again. Once the offense stagnates, it is the opponent's best opportunity to chase points.

Lin Feng thought he would play, but Walton didn't intend to make a substitution. He hoped that Lao Zhan would stay on the court for a while tonight and leave some memorable scenes for the people of Cleveland.

Tyronn Lue took veteran Korver again, adding a shooting point to try to do some homework on the outside.

Korver is a typical off-the-ball shooter, he throws the ball as soon as he gets it, and doesn't need to dribble too much.

In the rematch, the Cavaliers ran tactics around Korver and Osman, and Kuzma's half-length space in front of him allowed Korver to make a three-pointer.

Five points. If you dribble well, it only takes two rounds for the Cavaliers to complete the overtake.

Wharton had no choice but to watch the lead drained away.

The current Lakers are indeed showing a problem, that is, they can't hold their advantage when they have a big lead.

It's better to face the strong teams in the league, but it's easy to relax too much in front of the underdogs. The Kings were almost overturned in the previous away game.

At that time, the maximum lead was 17 points, but the three-point shooter headed by Bogdanovic shot indiscriminately. If it weren't for Lin Feng's two timely steals, the team might be reversed.

This problem was revealed again tonight. Once Lao Zhan stopped tanking, the others lost their ability to score.The two new stars Yingge and Kuzma are in an unstable state, and their shots are good and bad.

Hart, who plays as a substitute in this regard, is much better, with a three-point shooting percentage of more than [-]%, ranking in the top [-] in the league.

On the Cavaliers side, Osman was in a brave state, even if he shot in front of Lao Zhan, he was merciless.

Korver, who was new to the game, hit every shot and helped the Cavaliers overtake the game in the second half of the third quarter.

71-73, the Cavaliers took the lead for the first time at home. They relied on Osman's three-pointer to overtake the score.

The Turkish teenager scored 14 points in the third quarter and made three of five three-pointers. He was in a hot state.

In the last minute of the third quarter, Walton breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't want to go back to Los Angeles to write a review.

It's embarrassing to lose in a nationally broadcast game, especially when the opponent is the last Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference.
