NBA bench saves national team

beep.

The whistle sounded.

The head coach of the Cavaliers called a timeout and adjusted the lineup and tactics.

He replaced the slow-moving Mike Miller for rookie Joe Harris.

Because this rookie has a very strong three-point shooting ability.

The head coach of the Cavaliers expects the team to have a stable three-point shooting ability in a fast-moving offense and defense.

Just like the current Lakers.

If you want to win the Lakers, in addition to limiting the Lakers' three-pointers, you also need to play a more powerful offense than the Lakers.

But judging from the current situation, it seems impossible to completely strangle the Lakers' three-pointers, so we can only do our best to improve the team's offensive ability.

After a pause comes back.

The Cavaliers attack.

James held the ball at the top of the arc, and after breaking through the penalty area, he passed the basketball to Joe Harris, who ran out of the outside line, and the latter raised his hand and shot a three-pointer.

The basketball arced high.

Swish.

Hollow into the net.

The point difference returned to 13 points.

Lakers offense.

Qin Feng held the ball at the top of the arc, and then used the roll call tactics to face Harris' defense in a pick-and-roll defense.

undoubtedly.

Harris is the weak link on the defensive end of the Cavaliers.

Qin Feng changed direction continuously, made a fake breakthrough, and successfully swayed the opponent's defensive center of gravity.

Then, he stopped outside the three-point line and raised his hand to shoot a three-pointer.

The basketball draws a perfect arc.

Swish.

Hollow into the network!

The point difference returned to 10 points again.

The Cavaliers attack.

After James broke through to the penalty area, he did not attack by himself, but continued to look for Joe Harris, who ran out of the open space again with Love's cover.

Without any hesitation, Lao Zhan passed the basketball to him again.

Joe Harris hit another three-pointer.

Swish.

Another hit.

The audience was a little surprised. They didn't know where such a three-point shooter came out of the Cavaliers.

The Lakers' pursuit of points does not seem to be so smooth!

In the remaining minutes of the third quarter, the two sides fell into a stalemate again.

Joe Harris has completely become a surprise soldier of the Cavaliers, hitting four three-pointers in a single quarter, helping the Cavaliers withstand the Lakers' frenzy of chasing points.

The third quarter is over.

The Cavaliers still maintain a 14-point lead.

The short intermission is over.

The fourth quarter begins.

Both sides are rotation lineups.

The on-site commentary was a little surprised. The Lakers were 14 points behind. Coach Steve Kerr even dared to be on the bench. This is really courageous.

Isn't Kerr ready to fight to win this game?

Just when the audience was curious, the Lakers' substitute players suddenly broke out and set off a frenzy of chasing points.

Butler and Maris made shots one after another.

And Butler's tough defense put a lot of pressure on the opponent, forcing the opponent to make two mistakes in a row. The Lakers also seized these two opportunities and successfully counterattacked.

In less than 3 minutes, the Lakers played a 10:2 offensive climax, directly reducing the point difference to 6 points.

After all, it was the Cavaliers who couldn't sit still first, and took the lead in replacing the main lineup.

Seeing this, Steve Kerr also changed into five small lineups for the first time, and continued to maintain a strong momentum of chasing points.

In view of Joe Harris' outstanding performance, the Cavaliers changed him to the court again.

But the rookie had lost the touch he had in the third quarter, and missed two consecutive three-pointers!

On the Lakers side, Qin Feng and Kobe Bryant showed off their power one after another, scoring consecutive points, and another wave of 8:2 offensive climax.

directly tied the score.

The whole audience cheered wildly, and they were all high!

The morale of the Lakers soared and completely suppressed the Cavaliers.

beep.

The Cavaliers coach called a timeout again to make adjustments.

Joe Harris was ruthlessly replaced.

Since there is no shooting touch, Joe Harris is completely useless, and will become a burden on the team's defensive end.

After a pause comes back.

The Cavaliers don't have too complicated tactics, and the style of play is very simple, that is, let the two superstars James and Irving take turns playing singles.

Use the personal abilities of the stars to solve problems.

This does have some effect.

After all, James and Owen are very difficult to guard.

However, the superstars of the Lakers are not vegetarians, especially Qin Feng, who is full of firepower.

Not only on the offensive end, but also on the defensive end.

He first made a three-pointer, then blocked James' layup on the defensive end, the team counterattacked, and Kobe broke through the penalty area and scored a layup.

Then Qin Feng stole Owen again, counterattacked again, dribbled the ball after halftime, stopped outside the three-point line, raised his hand and shot a three-pointer.

The basketball roared past.

Swish.

Hollow into the network!

After a wave of 8:0 offensive climax, the Lakers also gained an 8-point lead.

The balance of victory has tilted towards the Lakers.

But the Cavaliers did not give up the game.

After James dribbled the ball for halftime, he passed the basketball to Irving, who signaled his teammates to pull away, and he wanted to single-handedly play Kobe.

Looking at Kobe in front of him, Irving's eyes were also full of excitement.

It has always been his goal and desire to win Kobe in heads-up.

Kobe looked serious, his muscles tensed, and he felt his cells trembling with excitement.

He has never been afraid of such a duel.

On the contrary, I will enjoy the process very much.

Because he is confident that no one in this alliance can beat him in singles, except Qin Feng...

Irving dribbled continuously and changed direction, then suddenly increased the range of direction change, and then broke through from the right.

Kobe defended tightly, not giving him any room to shoot.

Seeing this helplessness, Irving was forced to stop the ball. After turning his left foot a few times, he still couldn't find a chance to make a shot, so he had to retreat and lean back to force a jump shot.

bang.

The basketball bounced out of the basket.

Qin Feng grabbed the rebound, quickly dribbled the ball across half court, played a defensive counterattack again, broke through the penalty area and completed a layup.

The point difference came to 10 points.

beep.

The Cavaliers head coach called a timeout again.

On the way back to the bench, James was also having a heated discussion with Irving.

He thinks that Irving's offensive choice just now is a bit inappropriate. He should not blindly attack, but should pass the basketball to his teammates when there is no chance, and the teammates should complete the offense.

Owen nodded while listening, saying that it was his own mistake just now, and Kobe was a bit over the top.

After hearing this, James was also a little helpless.

This young man is amazing, but he is too young and inexperienced!

And it's too easy to get ahead in the game.

Once you get to the top, it means losing your mind, and it will be very difficult to perform well again.

The offense and defense just now was crucial to the game. Now that they are 10 points behind, it will be very difficult to chase points.
