NBA bench saves national team

After breaking through to the penalty area, Irving felt the defensive pressure of the two big men of the Lakers, but he didn't dare to force it. With a flick of his wrist, he threw the basketball back.

Love received the basketball from outside the three-point line, without any hesitation, raised his hand and threw a three-pointer.

The basketball arced high.

Swish.

bang,

The basketball bounced out of the basket.

Lakers offense.

Lowry missed a jumper with an emergency stop outside.

The Cavaliers fought back.

Irving dribbled the ball at the top of the arc. After breaking through to the penalty area again, he did not choose to pass the ball. Instead, he jumped high against Gasol's defense and completed a pull-up layup.

7: 0.

The Lakers fell behind at the start.

It has to be said that the Cavaliers played a very good performance on both offense and defense.

Lakers offense.

The basketball arced high.

Swish.

Hollow into the net.

Cavaliers offensive round.

It was Irving again. After changing directions continuously, he threw off Lowry's defense and took a step sideways to complete the shot from outside the three-point line.

Swish.

Keep hitting.

next few minutes.

The Cavaliers have maintained a very efficient offense, while the Lakers' offense is intermittent and not smooth.

In fact, this is not the first time this has happened this season.

As Gasol and Kobe Bryant age, the performance efficiency of the two veterans in the game is gradually declining.

And Antetokounmpo's offensive performance is not very stable, which makes the Lakers' starting lineup often rely on Qin Feng to support the offense.

In this game, Qin Feng's desire to attack did not seem to be strong, and he did not play a too strong attack.

And facing the powerful Cavaliers again, this put the Lakers at a disadvantage quickly.

After more than half a quarter, the team has fallen behind by 12 points.

Lakers head coach Steve Kerr called a timeout to make adjustments.

After returning from the timeout, Cole replaced Antetokounmpo and Morris, adding a three-point shooting point.

Lakers offense.

After Qin Feng broke through to the penalty area, he attracted the defense and passed the ball to Morris on the outside. The latter raised his hand and threw a three-pointer.

Swish.

Hollow into the network!

After improving the shooting space, the Lakers' offensive effect has obviously become different.

Then Kobe also began to explode, scoring consecutive post-up singles.

The Lakers played a wave of 3:12 offensive climax in 3 minutes, narrowing the point difference to 3 points.

Then Irving and James scored in singles.

The Cavaliers extended their lead to 7 points.

The first quarter is over.

33: 26.

The Lakers trailed by 7 points in a single quarter.

Entering the rotation stage of the second quarter, the Lakers' bench gangsters began to show off.

Antetokounmpo used his advantage to frequently attack the penalty area, but it is a little regrettable that his free throws really pulled his hips.

Fortunately, Butler, Morris and other players played well, giving the Lakers an advantage at this stage. After playing a little more than 3 minutes, they caught up with the point difference.

Butler has made significant progress this season, averaging 15.6 points per game, making him the Lakers' top scorer off the bench.

At the same time, Butler still has a tough defense.

That makes him a leader off the Lakers' bench.

Seeing Butler playing better and better, the head coach of the Cavaliers also had no choice but to replace James in advance to mark Butler and limit his performance.

Facing James' defense, Butler was also fearless, but he still lost to the strength gap with enthusiasm.

Under James' full defense, Butler's offensive efficiency dropped sharply.

See here.

Steve Kerr also hurriedly replaced Qin Feng and asked him to fight against James.

The competition has become more intense.

After the main lineups of both sides returned, the intensity of the game rose to another level.

Both teams will want to gain the lead before halftime so that the second half can be dominated.

The two superstars of the Lakers, Qin Feng and Kobe, scored consecutive individual singles.

The Cavaliers didn't give way too much, and James and Irving also frequently scored in singles.

The competition between the superstars also caused the audience to exclaim again and again.

The on-site commentary is also emotional, this game is really exciting.

In the end, the Cavaliers had a slight upper hand. In the last minute before the end of the first half, Irving and Love each scored a three-pointer from the outside, helping the Cavaliers establish an 1-point lead.

This also gave the Cavaliers players great fighting spirit and confidence.

Especially James.

When he was with the Heat in previous seasons, he rarely got a halftime lead against the Lakers...

This makes James more confident in winning the game.

The long intermission is over.

The second half of the game begins.

The two stars Irving and Love played well and made consecutive shots.

In less than 3 minutes, he led the team to a 12:4 offensive climax, extending the lead to 16 points in one fell swoop.

The entire audience fell silent, and their expressions became tense.

Are the Lakers going to lose this game?

The momentum of the Cavaliers is too strong, and they can't stand it at all!

Steve Kerr off the court also frowned, hesitated for a moment, called a timeout, and then replaced the five small lineups.

Antetokounmpo, Morris, Qin Feng, Kobe, Lowry!

The Lakers used their bottom-of-the-box cards.

The game continues.

Lakers offense.

After Lowry dribbled the ball for halftime, he broke through to the restricted area to attract double-teams, and passed the basketball to Kobe on the outside, who raised his hand and shot a three-pointer.

The point difference returned to 13 points.

Cavaliers offensive round.

After dribbling for halftime, Irving used his own direction-changing stunt, hovered suddenly after dribbling the ball under his crotch, and then changed direction from the left and rushed towards the penalty area.

Just when he thought he had got rid of the defense and was about to make an emergency stop and throw a shot, suddenly a figure flashed sideways, jumped up high, and raised his hand to shoot the basketball.

It was Qin Feng who had defended him.

After Lowry grabbed the basketball, he quickly dribbled the ball and went down to the opponent's penalty area. He was about to make a layup, but when he glanced back, he saw James rushing towards him aggressively, so he decisively threw the basketball into the hands of Morris on the outside. .

The latter stopped suddenly outside the three-point line and raised his hand to throw a three-pointer.

Swish.

Hollow into the net.

The point difference is back to 10 points! !
