Basketball boy, starting to shine from the slam dunk

Chapter 1364: The Highly-anticipated G5 (5)

After three quarters, the scores were tied again, making everyone nervous. Both sides were back on the same starting line, and the outcome would depend on the last quarter.

The break between periods was short, but it felt very long to the fans. Time seemed to pass very slowly, and they couldn't wait any longer.

Finally, the fourth quarter began.

Both sides sent out their rotation lineups. The Lakers sent out Holiday and Clarkson, and let them play with other substitute players, while the Cavaliers sent out Rose and JR Smith, and let them play with other substitute players.

on the field.

After Holiday came to the frontcourt, he called for a pick-and-roll, then broke through decisively, attracted the defense and passed the ball to Clarkson. Clarkson was very decisive. After receiving the ball, he first accelerated and broke through. The defender subconsciously retreated, and then Clarkson suddenly retreated and took a three-pointer.

Swish!

The ball goes in.

But the Cavaliers returned the favor. Rose passed the ball to JR Smith, who broke through and made a pull-up layup, which was very cool.

This ball also went in...

For a period of time afterwards, the two sides were evenly matched.

The Lakers have Holiday and Clarkson, and the Cavaliers have Rose and JR Smith, especially Rose, who has performed very well.

Rose had performed very well in the first three rounds of the playoffs, and in the finals, Rose became the Cavaliers' surprise weapon. It could even be said that he was the team's best player besides James, scoring 20+ points in more than one game.

Rose played very well in today's game, especially at this moment, at this critical moment, the value of the "youngest MVP" in NBA history was once again demonstrated.

When others don't dare to fight, he dares.

He dares to shoot the ball that others dare not shoot!

This is a kind of courage. In the past period of time, he scored three goals and made an assist. Two of the goals were very difficult, almost forced shots facing the defensive players.

You know, the one defending him at that time was Holiday.

Holiday's defensive ability is unquestionable, and even when facing Holiday's defense, even if Holiday has defended to the extreme, Rose can still score the ball.

This is very rare.

"Rose played really well today."

"No, he played really well throughout the playoffs, and even the entire season, but the Finals were even better."

"No matter what the result is, Rose has proven himself. He may not be able to return to his peak state, but he is still a very good player."

"He deserves a big contract..."

Some people were discussing, while others were frowning and worried about the Lakers.

The score between the two teams was tied at the end of the first three quarters, but this time, thanks to Rose's outstanding performance, the Cavaliers took the lead again.

......

On the sidelines.

Coach Scott narrowed his eyes and smiled coldly: "It's just a 2-point lead."

He glanced at the time and waved his hand, "Change players."

At this time, only three minutes into the fourth quarter, Coach Scott suddenly made substitutions, replacing Zhuang Yu, Anderson, and Lopez.

Seeing the Lakers' substitution, the fans in the audience were a little surprised. It was only three minutes into the fourth quarter, so it was not impossible to make a substitution now. They could just replace it with a main player, such as Anderson, or another core player.

However, the Lakers actually replaced Zhuang Yu, Anderson and Lopez at the same time.

This is somewhat unexpected.

Here, coach Tyronn Lue frowned. He hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Let's make a substitution, too."

When the substitutions were completed, the Lakers' lineup became Holiday, Clarkson, Zhuang Yu, Anderson, and Lopez.

The Cavaliers also changed players, and the lineup became Rose, Hill, James, Love, and TT.

Now both sides changed to a lineup of four starters and one substitute.

Although there were still 9 minutes left in the game, the game was already at a bloody standoff. After both sides returned to the court, the atmosphere instantly became grim.

An invisible aura lingered on the court, and even every fan in the stands could feel it clearly.

......

Lakers offense.

After Holiday came to the frontcourt, Hill rushed up to him. He immediately felt a pressing momentum. Hill waved his hands, his eyes were sharp, and he launched an oppressive defense.

Looking at other players on the Cavaliers, they are the same as Hill.

The defensive intensity has been improved again.

"Pick and roll."

Holiday made a gesture, Lopez came up to screen and roll, Holiday broke through to the left, and TT of the Cavaliers team quickly stepped forward to delay, being very active.

Holiday was not in a hurry to play because Love was also staring at him. Holiday paused for a moment and passed the ball to Anderson.

At this time, Zhuang Yu ran back and passed by Anderson. Anderson passed the ball to Zhuang Yu and provided a screen for him.

The next moment, Zhuang Yu received the ball, took a step forward and immediately jumped up.

Love had come over to switch defense and pounced on Zhuang Yu, but Zhuang Yu ignored him and shook his wrist to meet Love's pounce.

"Shh!"

The ball goes in.

It was a three-pointer, very decisive and clean, and the Lakers took the lead.

"nice shot."

"Haha, Zhuang Yu is awesome..."

In the audience stands, the home fans cheered excitedly.

For a moment, the cheers were like a tsunami, sweeping towards the Cavaliers players, bringing them an inexplicable pressure.

Several Cavaliers players frowned, and James' pupils shrank. After coming to the frontcourt, he asked his teammates for the ball. The Lakers went up to double-team him, but James did not pass the ball. Instead, he took a step back and shot a three-pointer.

This is not James' usual style of play.

However, he cast his shot with extraordinary determination, and his eyes seemed to be flashing with light like a knife.

Swish!

There was a soft sound and the ball was scored.

"Oh..."

There was an uproar.

The cheers of the home fans faded and their expressions became solemn. They didn't expect that James would immediately retaliate after Zhuang Yu scored a goal.

The showdown between the two superstars begins again!

Several teammates looked at Zhuang Yu. Zhuang Yu took a deep breath and wondered in his heart whether to play according to the conventional style or to compete with James?

In terms of lineup, the Lakers have a more balanced lineup, so it is beneficial for the Lakers to play tactics and pursue multiple points. But in this situation, James clearly wants to go all out. If he avoids the fight and does not respond, it will fall on his own momentum.

How to do?

After just a moment of hesitation, Zhuang Yu had the answer in his mind - the brave will win when two meet in a narrow road. This is a crucial game, a decisive moment, how can he retreat?

"Give me the ball later."

Zhuang Yu said to his teammates.
