Basketball boy, starting to shine from the slam dunk

Compared to Anderson, Nance Jr. is still in better shape. Under his strict defense, and with the help of other players, Love did not continue to score at this point. He made another shot in the low post, but failed to score.

Although Love did not continue to score at this point, the Cavaliers played very well as a whole today, and with the wind in their favor, other players also found their form.

At this time, other players also began to stand up and score, such as Hill, TT, and Rose.

James was responsible for attracting the defense, while Love was in the low post. The two of them, one inside and one outside, greatly involved the Lakers' defense, causing loopholes in the Lakers' originally excellent defense, which gave other Cavaliers players opportunities.

First, Hill scored by breaking through, then TT made a two-handed slam dunk under the basket, and soon after, Rose also scored a goal.

Of course, the Lakers are also scoring.

Although the Cavaliers made some adjustments and improvements to their defense in today's game, especially the defense against Zhuang Yu and Lopez.

To be honest, the strategies of both sides are actually somewhat similar.

The Lakers focused on defending James and Love, while the Cavaliers focused on defending Zhuang Yu and Lopez, both of whom are two All-Star players, one inside and one outside.

The results were similar.

In order to limit James and Love, the Lakers' defense had loopholes, giving other Cavaliers players opportunities.

The Cavaliers also wanted to limit Zhuang Yu and Lopez, so they weakened their defense against other Lakers players, giving Holiday and Korver a lot of opportunities.

After a few minutes, the Cavaliers scored from multiple points and several players scored.

Among the five players on the Lakers' court, except Nance Jr., everyone else also scored points, but the Cavaliers still led in the overall score.

"The Cavaliers played really well today."

"Especially Love, even though he hadn't scored for a while, he still scored 12 points."

"Yeah, I think it's normal for James to score 12 points in a single quarter, but I didn't expect Love to play so well today and score 1 points in the first quarter."

The fans are discussing.

At this moment, the referee blew the whistle, calling a defensive foul on Nance Jr. and signaling Love to stand on the free throw line and take two free throws.

This time it was a pick-and-roll match between Love and Rose. Love made a pick-and-roll and then cut in. Rose passed the ball to Love. At this time, Nance Jr. was already out of position and subconsciously reached out to pull the ball, but was called for a foul.

Looking at Love standing on the free throw line, Nance Jr. felt helpless.

"It's okay." Zhuang Yu patted her and comforted her, "You've done a good job."

Nance Jr.'s defense was actually pretty good during this period, but Love is an All-Star level player after all. When his form is up, it is unrealistic to defend him so that he can't score at all.

Love made both free throws and the Lakers called a timeout.

At this time, the score became 30:22, with the Cavaliers leading by 8 points.

You know, there were more than three minutes left in this quarter, and the Cavaliers had already scored 30 points, which shows how efficient they were. Compared with the first game, it was like they were a different team.

The main reason is that Love and James performed too well. In this quarter, Love scored 14 points and James also scored 8 points.

The Lakers actually played normally, scoring 7 points in more than 22 minutes, which is considered a good scoring efficiency.

It's just that the Cavaliers played too well today.

During the timeout, Coach Scott made substitutions and started to rotate the lineup.

Although he was eight points behind, he was not panicked.

The Cavaliers played very well in this quarter, but he didn't believe that the Cavaliers could continue this performance in the next three quarters.

Not to mention the other players on the Cavaliers, even James and Love couldn't perform like this in all four quarters.

Being behind is only temporary, why panic?

So Coach Scott still made the normal rotation, replacing Holiday, Korver, and Lopez with Clarkson, Gerald Green, and Kuzma.

After the timeout, both sides returned to the court and the Cavaliers made substitutions.

The Cavaliers replaced Hill, Love, and TT, but James remained on the court and was going to play the entire quarter.

从第1场开始詹姆斯就已经做好了每场比赛打40分以上的准备，总决赛第1场詹姆斯打了42分钟，第1节打满。

It was the same today, he wasn't going to leave in the first quarter.

Because they had finally taken the lead, he didn't want to be caught up by the Lakers when he was off the court.

Coach Tyronn Lue doesn't want this either.

He has figured it out.

Except for one or two, or two or three players in the team's current lineup, the others can't fight against the wind, and can only fight with the wind in their favor.

They perform well when the team is leading, but once they fall behind and fall into adversity, you can no longer rely on them.

In the next few minutes, Zhuang Yu of the Lakers was in full swing. He first hit a three-pointer from the outside, and then used a pick-and-roll to break through and score a layup.

James of the Cavaliers quickly responded by scoring two goals on the offensive end, but the Lakers still had Clarkson on their side.

Love performed very well in the past few minutes, and Clarkson's performance was also very good at this time. He first received a pass from Zhuang Yu outside the three-point line and hit a three-pointer, and then used Zhuang Yu to contain the defense, and took advantage of the Cavaliers' empty inside line to break through decisively, and then went into the inside to score a 2+1.

After a few rounds, Clarkson scored 6 points and Zhuang Yu scored 5 points, and the Lakers' total score has reached 33 points.

James of the Cavaliers scored 4 points, while the other players only scored 36 points, and the team's total score reached points.

At the end of the first quarter, the score was 1:36, with the Cavaliers leading by three points.

"Hey......"

Coach Tyronn Lue sighed inwardly.

He thought that keeping James on the court for the entire quarter would help keep the score, but he found that he still underestimated his opponent.

Although we are still leading, the score difference has been narrowed to only three points.

There is obviously a difference between leading by 8 points and leading by 3 points.

He could only comfort himself that as long as he was ahead, it would be fine.

In the audience, fans were also discussing.

"The Cavaliers played really well today. No, it should be said that they played too well. They scored 36 points in a single quarter. This is not like the Cavaliers' style. If it was the Warriors, I would still believe it."

"Indeed, the Cavaliers played very well today, especially James and Love. Love scored 14 points and James scored 12 points. But even so, they only led by three points. The Lakers are really strong."

"There is still a gap in overall strength. If they continue to play like this, I think the Lakers will have the upper hand."

"It is difficult for the Cavaliers to maintain such a high-efficiency offense as this quarter. Once the offensive efficiency of James and Love drops, they will fall behind..."
