Chapter 122 Suspense, who will defend James next
In the last 4 seconds, the Cavaliers sent Lowry to the free throw line.

Lowry withstood the pressure and made two free throws.

The point difference came to three points again.

The Cavaliers can only hit three points.

James made another shot, but unfortunately the ball was cheated.

When the final timer came on, the ball bounced high in the air.

The Cavaliers sat on the ground dejectedly, and James accepted the reality of the first loss with a deadpan face.

The Cavaliers had no chance of tying the score.

In the end, the Raptors defeated the Cavaliers 116:113 away and won the first game of the series.

The Raptors won the game, and teammates rushed over to surround Ge Feng.

Ge Feng's quasi-lore at the end was too brilliant. If there was no Ge Feng in this game, they would not be able to defeat the stronger Cavaliers.

The players on the Cavaliers looked somewhat lonely.

They were only a minute away from winning, a goal, or even a pass.

詹姆斯空砍33分8板6助攻，欧文得到的22分5助攻和科沃尔的单场6记三分全都成了无用功。

Although he lost the ball, James stayed on the court friendly and shook hands with the Raptors players one by one.

When Ge Feng walked in front of James, James was obviously a little unhappy.

Before the game, he also publicly complained for Brother Antetokounmpo, but he did not expect that the mountains and rivers would take turns, and he walked the old way of Brother Antetokounmpo so quickly.

But Lao Zhan's mind is not comparable to Antetokounmpo.

James hugged Ge Feng very friendly, and then whispered in Ge Feng's ear: "Boy, just wait, I will definitely eliminate you..."

Ge Feng didn't take it seriously after hearing this, and clapped his hands again with his teammates, and then returned to the locker room.

The game was played with ups and downs, and fans on social media after the game were also constantly talking about it.

"I didn't expect the Cavaliers to lose... I bought the Cavaliers with all my money..."

"Ge Feng is not weak at all, I think he deserves to be awarded the MIP."

"Old Zhan is just too loyal. He was anxious to stand up for Brother Antetokounmpo, but he slapped himself in the face..."

"It can't be blamed on Lao Zhan. The Raptors' lineup is really amazing, with four guards. Oh my god, they really dare to think."

"If Ge Feng continues to fight like this, the Raptors will soon change the Dragon King. Did you see that DeRozan was rubbed on the floor by James, and there was no room for retaliation at all."

"You can't say that. After all, DeRozan is facing James directly. Besides, how many people in this league can prove that James is tough? It is not easy for DeRozan to score 24 points under the defense of Lao Zhan..."

"It makes sense... looking forward to the next game of the Raptor Knights."

……

Winning the first game is a great encouragement to the momentum of the Raptors.

But the players could still see the problems they encountered in the first game.

The second game between the Cavaliers and the Raptors was two days later. On the second day, Nurse sent all the players together for training.

"In the next game, who of you wants to defend James?" Nurse asked straight to the point.

The teammates looked at each other, but no one spoke.

The Raptors' restrictions on Irving and Love in the last game were really good. The four guards can not only greatly weaken Irving's singles ability, but also respond in time and constantly harass the soft-style Love.

But only James is the confidant of Nass.

In the last game, they completely let James play freely.

But the danger of doing so is obvious. James is like a god, constantly causing fatal damage to the Raptors, and finally almost killed the game by himself.

Nurse very much hopes that someone will take the initiative to stand up.

DeRozan can't guard against James, and Nas doesn't want DeRozan and James to continue to entangle, otherwise, James will sooner or later beat DeRozan into doubt.

The players looked around, and finally saw Ge Feng.

Ge Feng's hairs suddenly exploded: "I'll go, right? What are you all looking at me for? Do you think I can guard against that beast?"

Everyone looked away from Ge Feng.

I don't know when it started, but when the team encounters difficult problems, the first thing that comes to mind is Ge Feng.

But Ge Feng's defense against James is obviously not shown...

At this moment, Siakam suddenly raised his hand.

Siakam's move surprised his teammates.

"Siakam?" Nas gave him a surprised look.

Siakam didn't get many chances to play, and of course he must seize the opportunity.

Siakam stood up and began to introduce himself: "To tell you the truth, don't think I can only play power forward. You know, I made my debut as a small forward before. In terms of breakthroughs and shooting, I don't believe that I am worse than Ge Feng."

There was a burst of ridicule from the crowd.

This is really a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers.

But Nurse was very interested. He sat Siakam down and said: "I know you can play small forward, but you are playing randomly, and scoring is pure luck."

Everyone laughed again, Siakam's face turned purple when he was angry.

Nurse smiled and said, "But I think your suggestion is feasible. After all, your task is to defend James, and you don't need to do too much on the offensive end. In the next game, you will defend James. We will liberate DeRozan and let him give the Cavaliers some color."

Everyone nodded. Siakam's athletic ability and height and wingspan are indeed the most suitable candidate for the Raptors to defend James.

Now the Raptors are about to change again.

Lowry, DeRozan and Ibaka must play. If Siakam is added, the remaining starting position, Nass will have to think carefully.

Van Vleet, Ge Feng, and Valanciunas looked at each other.

The last candidate must be one of the three of them.

Nurse decided on the candidate to defend James, so he arranged for DeRozan to lead the players to train on their own, while assistant coach Bai Nuo supervised.

When Ge Feng first entered the Raptors, Bai Nuo raised a lot of objections, because he was more optimistic about Siakam, who has excellent athletic ability.

But now, Bai Nuo has been convinced by Ge Feng's big heart and three-point ability. Now Bai Nuo obviously trusts Ge Feng more.

Bai Nuo is also the most diligent assistant coach of the Raptors. Since he came to the Raptors, he has never missed a game. He is indeed very diligent.

Naturally, among the assistant coaches, he has the best relationship with all the players.

The other players went to training, and Bai Nuo kept Siakam and taught him how to defend James very seriously.

After all, James is a 34-year-old veteran, and his athletic ability has declined significantly.

And Siakam is only 24 years old this year. He is much younger than James and has a lot of physical strength.

Beno told Siakam that the key to defending James is not to be afraid, to constantly collide with him and consume his energy.

Siakam nodded vigorously.

In other words, it is very exciting to think about head-to-head with the league's No.1 James in the playoffs.
