Basketball boy, starting to shine from the slam dunk

After this substitution, the Lakers gained the upper hand, immediately overtook the score, and had a tendency to widen the gap.

Seeing this situation, coach Tyronn Lue also signaled for a substitution, replacing TT with Rose, and also used a "one big and four small" lineup.

He plans to go head-on with the Lakers today.

In the next few minutes, the two sides exchanged blows and the score remained tense.

The score difference between the two teams did not widen until the rotation time. The Cavaliers kept James on the court during the rotation time, while the Lakers also kept Lopez on the court. The two teams played evenly, and by the end of the first quarter, the score was tied.

Looking at the score between the two sides at this time, the fans in the audience couldn't help but be amazed.

Today's game was so exciting.

Both teams played very well and the score was always close. No one expected that the score would be tied at the end of the first quarter.

"It seems that it is hard to say who will win today's game."

"It will definitely be a tense match. I guess we will have to wait until the last three minutes to decide the winner."

Some fans were discussing.

On the sidelines of the court, Yao Ming, Kobe, and Kobe's family sat together, with Kobe's young daughter between them.

Kobe simply picked up his little daughter and placed her on his lap, then started chatting with Yao Ming.

He said: "Today's game, the Cavaliers played 120% of their energy, and it was really difficult to play against them."

"It's definitely going to be tough." Yao Ming nodded. "It's impossible to decide the winner in the first three quarters. I think the fourth quarter will be the key. I think Zhuang Yu and James will still be the key."

"Yeah." Kobe agreed. "Although the Cavaliers played well in the first quarter, we still have the advantage in terms of lineup, so we have a chance to take the lead in the second and third quarters. The other players on the Cavaliers have limited abilities after all, so it depends on whether James can step up and perform like he did in the previous three series."

Yao Ming said: "Looking at James's condition today and his past performance in key games, his performance today should not be bad. It depends on whether Zhuang Yu can hold up."

The vision of these two people is naturally not comparable to that of ordinary fans.

In this kind of crucial game, no matter how the two sides played before, they will definitely have to rely on the core players of both sides, especially the ace players of both sides.

There is no doubt about James' strength. He has proved his strength more than once throughout the series and has performed like a god.

Moreover, in today's game, he is likely to put in another amazing performance. Whether the Lakers can win depends on whether Zhuang Yu can hold on.

The Lakers' lineup itself has advantages.

If Zhuang Yu can fight James to a draw, the Lakers have a high chance of winning. If Zhuang Yu can gain the upper hand in the match with James, the Lakers have a greater chance of winning the game.

Of course, it's not easy.

After all, a man's reputation is like a tree's shadow. James has been famous in the NBA for so many years, and his strength is unquestionable. Especially his performance in some key games is amazing, and is in no way inferior to the basketball god of that year, Michael Jordan.

Zhuang Yu is only a fourth-year player and he is still very young. Although he has won the scoring title twice, it remains to be seen whether he will fall into a disadvantage in such a game and in the confrontation with James.

......

Soon, the second quarter began and both sides sent out rotation lineups.

The Lakers were led by Holiday and the bench lineup, while the Cavaliers sent out Rose and JR Smith.

Rose and JR Smith also performed well today. Under their leadership, the Cavaliers were only slightly at a disadvantage.

After a few minutes, the Lakers were only leading by 4 points.

At this time, the Lakers began to make substitutions, and the Cavaliers also made substitutions quickly, gradually sending their main players onto the court. The Lakers sent in Zhuang Yu, while the Cavaliers replaced Love.

Two minutes later, the Cavaliers made another substitution, replacing James.

As soon as James came on the court, he made a layup after a breakthrough, and then received a pass from his teammate on the outside and made a jump shot.

The game was only in the second quarter and James' score had already reached double digits.

After Zhuang Yu came to the frontcourt, he made a gesture to his teammates, then ran quickly, made a circle around the inside, played a three-point tactic with his teammates, returned to the three-point line to receive the ball and shot directly without any hesitation.

With a soft sound, the basketball penetrated the net.

Three point hit.

However, James returned the favor again. This time he did not score directly, but used a breakthrough to attract the defense and then passed the ball to Love.

Love hit a three-pointer.

This is an answerball, from Love's shot and James' assist...

For a period of time afterwards, Zhuang Yu started scoring mode and continued to score on the offensive end, while James' performance was equally outstanding, grabbing points, rebounds and assists.

Under his leadership, the Cavaliers held on to the score and did not allow the Lakers to widen the gap.

Until the end of the first half, the Cavaliers were behind, but only by 5 points.

Just as Yao Ming and Kobe expected, both sides played well today, so it was difficult to widen the gap between the two sides and the game was always in a tense situation.

In the second half, both teams sent out their starting lineups, and James frequently made wonderful passes to assist his teammates, who fired from beyond the three-point line, helping the Cavaliers tie the score. With a free throw, they overtook the score.

"Damn it, we were overtaken."

"Don't worry, the second half hasn't started yet."

The home fans were a little annoyed. They were leading in the first half, but now they were overtaken.

Fortunately, the Lakers quickly responded. Holiday broke through and scored, taking the lead again. After that, the two sides fought back and forth.

First, the Lakers widened the score again after overtaking, but James quickly stepped up, first with a steal and a fast break slam dunk, then a cut to the basket, causing Lopez to foul, and he made both free throws.

It's only the third quarter and James has already scored 3 points.

Under the leadership of James, the Cavaliers held on to the score and maintained it until the end of the third quarter, when the score between the two sides was tied again.

“It’s a tie again.”

"The two teams were tied at the end of the first quarter, and the Lakers were leading at the end of the second quarter. I didn't expect the score to be tied again at this time."

"People watching this game don't even dare to breathe..."
