Chapter 93
For Ling Feng, this question is no less than the question of the century. After hesitating for a long time, Ling Feng nodded slightly.

At the end of the first half, Ling Bo looked to the sidelines and saw that Ling Feng's face was no longer as ugly as before, and his heart eased a lot.

Looking at Jiang Chaoxue's father and daughter again, he nodded slightly to express his gratitude.

Nodding with a smile, the originally reserved girl was no longer calm, and her heart was filled with joy.

Jiang Lixin looked at his daughter and shook his head helplessly, when did he become like a nympho.

During the intermission, the knight cheerleaders came on stage and performed hot dances for most of the male audience. The atmosphere was very active.

With much anticipation, the second half of the game came, and the two sides changed sides to fight again.

Shortly after the start of the third quarter, the Lakers Kobe Bryant and Gary Payton broke through to the inside and were successfully defended by the Cavaliers. Kobe and Gary Payton tried long-range shots, but the effect was minimal.

The Cavaliers seized the 2 minutes, James and Boozer also scored consecutively with the assist of Limbo, and the point difference was approaching again.

"Dad, the Lakers are not as good as you said." Jiang Chaoxue's mood in this game can be described as a roller coaster. The Cavaliers fell behind and were depressed.

As an old fan, Jiang Lixin did not agree with his daughter's point of view. He shook his head and said, "I often watch Lakers games. This is their common tactic. It is a test of the Cavaliers' defensive strength. If I guess correctly, the next , they will become very vicious."

57 to 55, the Cavaliers trailed by two points, but just as Jiang Lixin said, the situation on the field, like the weather in June, suddenly changed drastically.

Kobe used the pick-and-roll to get rid of Limbo's defense and hit a fadeaway jumper.Then seized the opportunity of Limbo's missed shot, O'Neal got the rebound, made a long pass to Gary Payton, and completed a counterattack fast break.

Their defense also rose to a new level at this time. Let’s not mention how good the Lakers’ team defense is, let’s just talk about their personal defense. Kobe, Gary Payton, and Karl Malone are all players on the best defensive team. , O'Neal's deterrence at the basket is as insurmountable as a mountain.

When such a lineup is serious, the Cavaliers' offense appears "short and weak".

Kobe Bryant's three-pointer, O'Neal's tip-up, and Karl Malone used his experience to beat Boozer.

After an 11-0 climax, the handicap was stretched to 13 points.

The Cavaliers were in big trouble. In the past 3 minutes, without scoring a point, the head coach was forced to call a timeout.

When a weak team plays against a strong team, the timeout is very precious, and it must not be wasted when it should not be used, so Paul Silas has been patient.

This situation of not scoring a point in 3 minutes was the first time since Ling Bo entered the starting lineup. Faced with an unexpected situation, everyone in the Cavaliers was in a hurry, completely clueless, and did not know how to cut into the game.

"Since we can't fight offensively, let's fight defensively with them. We must have self-confidence, and our defense is no worse than anyone else."

The head coach almost roared and said: "On the premise of strengthening the defense, we will spare no effort to create opportunities for Ling and LeBron. Carlos, I believe in you. You can do a good pick-and-roll for your teammates."

Boozer nodded in agreement, and the originally scattered fighting spirit was re-condensed because of this timeout.

"The situation is even worse than expected, are you sure?" James said softly to Ling Bo when he entered the court.

Ling Bo looked at James with a wry smile. I don't know if I'm sure, but I'll know if I try.

"The same sentence, until the final whistle, I will not give up, I will fight."

James clenched his fist and touched Ling Bo's, and said, "Then fight."

The Cavaliers attacked, Boozer struggled to get rid of Karl Malone's pursuit, picked and rolled for Limbo, Kobe was blocked, and Gary Payton, who made up the defense, also had a very good defense.

Ling Bo hit Gary Payton with his back. Even if you are the best defensive player, you can't hold back the hard top of Jiuyang Shengong. Suddenly Ling Bo turned around and made a shooting movement. Gary Payton took off to defend.

But the glove is confusing, where is the ball?What do you throw without the ball?
At this time, James has already thrown the ball into the basket.

Just when he turned around with his back, Ling Bo used Tan Yun's hand to give the ball to James behind him.

Using the pass controlled by Tan Yun's hand, it is more precise, and the basketball falls into James' hands exactly as if it has eyes.

"A weird pass, comparable to Magic Johnson." Jiang Lixin commented in this way. Although some preconceived ideas and some small exaggerations, it just shows the subtlety of the pass.

When the Lakers were attacking, the Cavaliers built an iron wall and blocked Kobe's breakthrough twice, and the basketball was reorganized by Gary Payton.

No matter how strong the defense is, there will always be loopholes. The outside knight Limbo, James and Eric Williams who came off the bench have done very well. However, there is a loophole inside. O'Neal received a pass from Payton under the basket. A bald macho.

After the dunk, O'Neal showed off his flamboyant style, making all kinds of funny expressions, making it difficult for you to tell whether it was provocation or entertainment.

The defense that the Cavaliers have been relying on for survival has been challenged the most today. It is not that their defense is not good, but that the Lakers are too strong.

Even if they lose this game, they still have to think clearly about how their next opponent should play. The defending champion Spurs are no worse than the Lakers, and there are also strong teams such as the Nets and Pacers.

Halfway through the third quarter, the Cavaliers still failed to close the score. The two main offensive points on the field, Ling Bo and James, worked very hard to move and pass the ball, but they still couldn't get past the Lakers' defense.

And the game continued, James was anxious because the point difference was not close. The more anxious he was, the less he would make a shot, and the more anxious he was, the more he didn't make a shot.

"LeBron, take a break, your current state is not good." Ling Bo said to James.

"No, I can, Ling, believe me." James said firmly. He wanted to get back to Kobe by shooting the ball constantly, but his mentality was wrong. How could he be like Kobe?
"LeBron, don't worry, we still have time, don't rush." ​​Ling Bo reminded again.

James nodded, let out a foul breath, and took a few more deep breaths.

Not being able to guard against Kobe and O'Neal is not the worst thing, nor is the offense going smoothly. The most terrifying thing is that the mentality collapses and confidence is lost. If you don't believe in yourself, how can you lead the team to victory.

The NBA is a place where miracles are created. There have been comebacks from more than 20 points behind, there are also "black eight" miracles where the weak beat the strong, and there are even Jedi counterattacks and comebacks against the sky.

So Ling Bo is not in a hurry, he must maintain his mentality when all the members are misfired.

If you want to talk about being anxious, Ling Bo is more anxious than anyone else. If Ling Feng can see his efforts, if he can lead the team to victory, then he will have more say in the next negotiation. The summit is more firm in its own ideas.

All the members are misfired, Limbo is the last hope of the Cavaliers, and it is also his last hope.
