Thanos

Chapter 95 The Only Chance

Vujacic dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, and his teammates opened up to give him room to break through.

Ye Heping stepped forward to pick and roll, and Vujacic rushed in.

Gooden, who switched defenses, couldn't keep up with Vujacic's speed, but James made up the defense quickly.

James was really positive when he was young.

Vujacic was prepared and passed the ball back to Ye Heping who was going out.

The Cavaliers point guard McGinnis was the one who switched to defending Ye Heping. At 193 cm, he is already tall at the No. 1 position, but facing Ye Heping... Besides, his defense has always been very average.

Ye Heping almost ignored his existence, jumped up and shot.

Swish!
50: 63.

还进，叶和平已经连得6分，个人数据上升到10分6篮板3助攻2抢断5盖帽。

The Cavaliers' offense, James broke through and passed the ball to Gooden.

Gooden squeezed Odom away very fiercely, and made a small throw under the basket.

Snapped!
It was Ye Heping again, who fell from the sky and sent the racket flying with a slap.

Just over halfway through the third quarter, Ye Heping has already blocked 6 shots, and tonight is destined to be the night of his career.

"Ye Heping's mobility makes him a perfect match for defending the 2-1-2 zone defense, and the other four can get quick support."

The guest commentators also began to analyze why the Lakers were able to hit a counterattack wave.

Odom picked up the basketball and organized a fast break by himself.

Although stopped by James, it still disrupted the Cavaliers' defense.

During the chaotic battle, Vujacic slipped quietly to the baseline, received a pass from Odom and scored a layup.

52: 63.

This guy is immature in many ways, but his golf quotient is definitely high enough.

In the next few minutes, the Cavaliers tried to break the Lakers' zone defense with a three-pointer.

It's a pity that the only three-pointer in the team is McGinnis, which is not stable enough.

Fans who are familiar with James know that what James needs is a sharpshooter, and the Cavaliers' configuration this year is obviously not good.

The Cavaliers missed three consecutive three-pointers, and the Lakers shrunk the inside more recklessly, making it more difficult for James to break through.

And Mihm, Odom, and Ye Heping's three highs also completely blocked the basket.

At the critical moment, Big Z used his height advantage to make several mid-range shots and continued to fight the Lakers.

At the end of the third quarter, 63:71, the Cavaliers' lead was only 8 points.

叶和平的数据已经来到12分7篮板4助攻2抢断6盖帽。

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, two pairs of substitutes fought fiercely.

After a long rest, Butler and Atkins scored consecutively and once again played a wave of offense for the Lakers.

It's a pity that their defense is not good either.

The physical blame James stayed on the field, constantly breaking through their defense, and starting the scoring mode.

Played for 3 minutes, 69:76.

Tang Shuai replaced the winning lineup: Mihm, Odom, Ye Heping, Butler, Atkins.

The Cavaliers also replaced the starting five tigers: Big Z, Gooden, Newbell, James, McInnis.

The game continued, and Odom took advantage of his speed to beat Gooden alone and hit a mid-range shot.

71: 76.

But looking back, McInnis received a pass from James and made a three-pointer.

71: 79.

Seeing this goal, Coach Silas cried out excitedly.

The three-pointer is valuable in itself, but it is even more meaningful to the Cavaliers at this moment, which means that they finally have a chance to break the Lakers' zone defense.

Looking back, Butler missed a breakthrough throw.

McGinnis hit a three-pointer again.

71:82, the point difference between the two teams came to double digits again.

More importantly, the Lakers' zone defense was broken.

Tang Shuai called a timeout, frowning.

If the zone defense is broken, the formation must be changed.But after changing the lineup, can the Lakers still block James' invincible breakthrough?
"Coach, let Atkins go out and defend McInnis one-on-one. The others continue to defend the zone. Anyway, he is the only one who can shoot three-pointers in the Cavaliers."

A teaching assistant suggested.

Tang Shuai frowned: "But in this way, the pressure on the other four people is too great. Especially for Ye, the space he has to guard will increase a lot at once."

"This is our only chance."

The assistant reminded.

This way, there is still hope of winning.If you don't fight like this, you will definitely lose.

"Coach, leave it to us. We promised Kobe that we would win this game."

At this time, Ye Heping, who rarely spoke, also persuaded him.

"it is good!"

Ye Heping asked for his orders. Could it be that he is not as good as a rookie as a champion coach?
"Remember, pass the ball more and get a better chance. If anyone makes a random shot, prepare for me to recuperate for the next game."

Tang Shuai finally reminded him, and glanced at Atkins intentionally or unintentionally.

Atkins trembled. The other coaches might be scary, but Tang Shuai really did what he said.

I still remember that in the opening game, Tang Shuai refused to let him play for 1 minute just because he and George went to the nightclub.

Unless you are a Kobe or Iverson player, don't mess with a stubborn old-school coach.

The game continues.

Atkins came to the frontcourt, but he didn't dare to make a lot of shots when the opportunity was not good, and passed it directly to Odom.

Odom broke through and gave Mihm the ball, but Mihm missed the shot.

But Ye Heping took the offensive rebound and handed it to Mihm again, and Mihm took a dribble and dunked directly.

Big Z reacted a little slower and watched Mim dunk and score.

73: 82.

The Cavaliers attacked, and Atkins followed McInnis closely, not giving him room to shoot.

James simply broke through by himself.

Butler and Odom stopped James together, but the defense of the four was not tight enough. James easily handed the ball to Gooden, and Gooden took off to put the basket.

Snapped!
It was Ye Heping again, fanning the basketball out.

"If I remember correctly, Ye Heping has already blocked 7 shots in this game, 4 of which were given to Gooden."

"Poor guy, but who told him to have a conflict with Ye Heping, he deserved it."

To be honest, Ye Heping really didn't target Gudeng, he just did everything he could, all for the sake of victory.

此刻，大屏幕上打出了叶和平的数据：12分8篮板5助攻2抢断7盖帽。

This is an absolutely all-powerful data.

And as long as he grabbed two more rebounds and three blocks, Ye Heping would be able to complete a triple-double.

A guy who didn't even complete a double-double is actually going to hit a triple-double, and it's still a triple-double with extremely difficult blocks.

The diehard fans of the Lakers who remained were hooked: Fortunately, they didn't leave, otherwise they might miss an important scene.

If Ye Heping really completes a triple-double of blocked shots and the Lakers win in the end, those guys who left the game early will probably regret it.

Lakers' fast break, Odom layup.

75: 82.

Cavaliers attack, Big Z's singles, turn around and miss the jumper.

And the deviation is very large, which shows that the feel of the big Z has seriously declined.

In this regard, Big Z is very similar to Yao Ming. Physical strength has always been a disadvantage of giant centers like them.

There was a joke on the Internet before: Yao Ming in the first quarter is a superstar, Yao Ming in the second quarter is an All-Star, and Yao Ming in the third quarter is an ordinary player.If you play four quarters, Yao Ming is not even as good as a role player.

Big Z is naturally much worse than Yao Ming, but this joke suits him very well.
