"Seeing James scoring consecutively, Zhuang Yu couldn't sit still, haha..."

"Come on Zhuang Yu, come on Lakers."

The home fans cheered loudly.

Those spectators who were not Lakers fans also cheered because they just wanted to see the showdown between Zhuang Yu and James. Who is stronger?

And Zhuang Yu did not disappoint the fans. After only a few dozen seconds, he shot from outside the three-point line again. This time it was an ultra-long three-pointer, two meters away from the three-point line. No one expected that he would shoot from this distance. The defenders did not have time to rush over. They could only watch Zhuang Yu throw the basketball, and then there was a swish sound behind them.

The ball went in again.

"Shet."

"Damn it, this can go in, defend a little bit, don't let him shoot."

Some Cavaliers fans and Cavaliers players on the sidelines were annoyed. James scored consecutively just now, but Zhuang Yu's two three-pointers offset James' previous scores.

Moreover, Zhuang Yu made two three-pointers in a row, showing his terrifying three-point ability. The Cavaliers must be extra careful.

Coach Tyronn Lue also shouted to his players on the court, asking them to strengthen their defense on Zhuang Yu's three-pointers, and to move out a little bit instead of just standing on the three-point line. Zhuang Yu's three-point shooting range is very terrifying and has extended to the logo area.

Of course, no one would take every shot from the logo area or shoot a long three-pointer.

But when a player is in good shape to shoot, for example, Zhuang Yu has just made two three-pointers in a row, would he dare to take the third one directly in the logo area?

Of course I dare.

As long as the Cavaliers don't rush in front of him and outside the three-point line to defend Zhuang Yu, Zhuang Yu really dares to shoot a three-pointer directly in the logo area.

In the next round, the Cavaliers directly launched close defense. As soon as Zhuang Yu crossed the center line, a defensive player immediately stuck to him.

at the same time.

James quickly responded on the offensive end.

This time it was still a breakthrough, first breaking through to the right, but not being able to completely get past Zhuang Yu, and the Lakers quickly contracted their defense line, and Lopez stepped forward and prepared to make up for the defense.

In this situation, it is not a good choice for James to run directly to the basket. His basketball IQ is very high and he knows exactly how and when to play.

He just turned slightly sideways, used his shoulder to challenge Zhuang Yu, and then suddenly turned over and made a jump shot.

This kind of ball is impossible to defend. With James' physical confrontation ability, the defender cannot pounce on it in the first time. Moreover, with James' height and wingspan, and the turnaround jump shot, even if someone is 10 cm taller than him, he can only watch and sigh.

Swish!

This ball also went in.

"What a beautiful shot."

"James and Zhuang Yu are exchanging blows."

"Zhuang Yu returns one, return one to him..."

This made the fans in the audience even more excited.

People were shouting towards the court, asking Zhuang Yu to return one, and the Cavaliers were also on high alert, ready for Zhuang Yu to play one-on-one.

When Zhuang Yu came to the frontcourt to get the ball, not only did the Cavaliers defend him closely, but the other players also kept their eyes on Zhuang Yu.

The next moment, Zhuang Yu broke through, first changing direction continuously, then suddenly dribbling behind his back, bursting into speed instantly, passing the defender and heading straight for the basket.

"Take up defense."

Someone shouted, and TT quickly stepped forward to provide reinforcements.

Zhuang Yu threw the ball to Lopez in the low post, who received the ball and made a jump shot.

This made the fans in the audience somewhat disappointed. Zhuang Yu did not directly retaliate with a single shot, but he finally scored the ball.

Some fans sighed with regret.

Zhuang Yu just smiled faintly. He was not afraid of facing James face to face, but he didn't need to play like that. The advantage was on his side. Why should he give up the team advantage and choose a one-on-one duel?

For Zhuang Yu, competing against James is certainly attractive, but winning the game is more important.

......

In a blink of an eye, the second quarter came to an end.

With only a dozen seconds left, James made his final attack, hitting the basket and scoring two more points. He scored 15 points in this quarter alone.

However, even so, the Cavaliers still fell behind by 5 points.

After entering the second half, both sides sent out their main lineups.

There was no Derrick Rose on the court at this time, so Tyronn Lue still planned to give JR Smith some opportunities to see if he could get back into shape in the second half. After all, JR Smith can shoot three-pointers, and Rose's three-pointers are relatively inferior.

When George Hill is on the court, what is actually needed is a three-point shooter like JR Smith. George Hill can be responsible for organization, and James can also be responsible for organization. They are not short of organizers, but they need players who can shoot three-pointers and open up space.

However, JR Smith's performance was still sluggish. He threw two more three-pointers from beyond the three-point line, but none of them went in. At this point in the game, he hadn't made a single three-pointer.

This disappointed coach Tyronn Lue, so he simply replaced JR Smith with Hood.

The Lakers' performance was very stable. In the past few minutes, the Lakers took the advantage and widened the gap to 11 points.

After the Cavaliers made substitutions, the Lakers also made personnel rotations, replacing Clarkson and gradually replacing their main players.

Zhuang Yu, Lopez and Korver were all substituted.

Coach Tyronn Lu frowned and hesitated for a moment, but ultimately did not replace James and let him stay on the court.

James played a long time today. He played the entire first quarter and more than 1 minutes in the second quarter. It seems that he will play the entire third quarter as well. Even if he is allowed to rest for a few minutes in the fourth quarter, it is estimated that his playing time today will be more than 2 minutes.

That's just James. If it were any other player, he would probably be exhausted.

But there is nothing we can do about it.

Since the other players of the Cavaliers are not strong enough, they can only rely on James. Isn't this how they got through the previous three series?

In the previous three series, especially the first and third rounds, all went to Game 1, and James' average playing time was more than 3 minutes, and he played for 36 minutes quite a lot.

Throughout the entire playoffs, at least most of the time, the other players on the Cavaliers did not perform well, and James was like a lone warrior.

No, he is more like a lonely god of war.

When the people around him could not provide much help, he played an ultimate personal performance like a god of war.

It's not that he won't get tired. Even if he is physically strong, he will eventually get tired. It's just that the situation is like this. This is the finals. If the Cavaliers want to make a comeback, they can only rely on James.

"If we can win this game and take the lead, we can let LeBron rest more in the next game..."

Tyronn Lue thought to himself.
