Chapter 154: Three-Point Domination of the Enemy (1st Shift)
During the break, James looked serious and gulped down energy drinks.
In the first three quarters, James played an important role, only rested for 6 minutes, and was very tired, but this was the final quarter of the finals, and James could only hold on.
In the final quarter, at the critical moment, the margin was 11 points behind.
There is simply no other option than to defeat the other with tenacity and perseverance.
That's James' biggest strength.
Qin Yang also gasped in a low voice, Qin Yang had 28 minutes of playing time in the first three quarters, which was a very long time for Qin Yang, and in the last quarter, Qin Yang needed to continue to play.
"LeBron, Bruce, work hard in the last quarter, the Lakers have no physical strength, LeBron increases the impact, Bruce shoots three-pointers if he has time, be decisive, the team needs your shot."
Coach Brown said from the side.
James and Qin Yang both nodded.
The game started quickly.
Lakers ball possession, this time both teams returned to the previous original lineup, the Lakers three-high lineup plus Kobe and Ariza, the Cavaliers are Qin Yang, Delonte West, James, Vallejo and Big Z.
Bryant held the ball past half court and met Delonte West's all-out defense.
Kobe Bryant dribbled with his back to the ball, and after making a breakthrough feint, he turned around directly, and Qin Yang was already ready when he saw this, and stepped forward to help defend.
After Qinyang assisted in defense, Kobe Bryant directly stopped the jump shot.
It's just that at this moment, Qin Yang also provoked interference.
This kind of interference is generally limited, but Qin Yang jumps up extremely fast, has an obvious height advantage, Kobe Bryant's shooting arc increases slightly, and the basketball bounces out of the basket.
This kind of defense doesn't add any stats, but it is crucial for the team.
Under the basket, Vallejo and Gasol competed for the rebound, Vallejo directly dialed the request, and James stepped forward to grab the rebound directly.
Qin Yang instantly attacked quickly, and James passed.
But on the other side, Ariza had already started to defend, using his body against Qin Yang, and was not prepared to give Qin Yang a quick layup.
Odom, Kobe Bryant quickly returned to defense.
Seeing that a fast attack is about to turn into a positional war.
Qin Yang leaned on Ariza and directly turned around to pick up a three-point shot and shot quickly, Ariza didn't react at all, and when he reached out to provoke, it was too late.
Sou!
Basketball hits.
Rumble!
Staples Arena remembered the applause, this three-point goal was very elegant and unreasonable.
In fact, if it is a normal tactic, the fast attack can no longer be played, and it is the best choice to slowly fall into positional warfare.
Ariza knew this, so he didn't pay attention to Qin Yang's direct three-point shot.
If this ball misses, the rebound must be the Lakers, which is no suspense.
Qin Yang's choice was not good enough.
But decisive enough.
In fact, Qin Yang has his own ideas, if he doesn't shoot like this, he really has to play a half-court attack, not to mention the time and physical strength, not to mention the effect, it may not have a good effect.
At this time, Ariza will not pay attention to defending his shots, and Qin Yang's shot is actually not a very bad choice. The only downside is that the risks are high.
Qin Yang shook his fist and roared, James stepped forward to high-five and celebrate, this three-point shot came at the right time, the point difference was further narrowed, the last quarter was still long, and the Cavaliers still had a chance.
The Lakers possessed the ball, Kobe Bryant did not single this time, passed to Pau Gasol, Gasol held the ball and singled Valejo, James stepped forward to defend, and Gasol passed to Odom.
Qin Yang quickly helped defend Odom, but Kobe Bryant had already run out of the open space under the cover of Ariza, Odom passed, and Kobe Bryant easily hit the empty position from mid-distance.
Odom and Gasol both pass well, so the two tall men who can shoot are here, and the advantage is too great.
The Cavaliers attack.
James stepped forward to be a cover, Qin Yang broke through directly, Odom went online to assist in defense, Qin Yang singled Odom, and broke through on the right side after crossover.
Odom slowed down a little, but carried Qin Yang with his body, delaying for a moment.
Qin Yang was prepared, his body immediately retreated, and he directly picked up a three-point shot.
Odom was pulled out of position, and the position was only to delay Qin Yang's breakthrough, so there was a space for Qin Yang to retreat.
This distance is safe enough to shoot.
Qin Yang quickly provoked a move, Odom stretched out his arm, there was no use, Qin Yang's height did not have a disadvantage and quickly shot after provoking, Odom couldn't interfere.
Sou!
The basketball goes into the basket again.
Staples Arena burst into applause again, Qin Yang's two shots were very unexpected, in this game, Qin Yang rarely shot at the defenders, but these two times Qin Yang did this.
The Lakers attacked, and Pau Gasol received a pass from Kobe Bryant and passed it to Odom, who hit a mid-range shot.
The Cavaliers attacked, Qin Yang passed to Delonte West to shoot from the middle distance, and Delonte West shot a little slowly, was interfered with by Kobe, and hit the iron from the middle distance.
Bynum got the rebound, the Lakers attacked, Kobe Bryant hit the iron again, Big Z got the rebound.
This time the Cavaliers didn't break fast, because the timing was not good, and the Cavaliers defended very quickly.
After dribbling past half court, Vallejo blocked, Qin Yang broke through directly, and passed to Delonte after encountering Odom's defense, Delonte hung the ball to James, James hit the basket and passed to Qin Yang, who was also in the empty cutting position, Qin Yang went directly to the basket and touched Pau Gasol to score.
The Lakers attacked, Vallejo fouled, and Pau Gasol made 2-of-2 free throws.
The Cavaliers attacked, James hit the iron, and Odom grabbed the rebound. But Odom's pass was too obvious, and Qin Yang made a steal and dribbled directly through the half, and the three-point shot hit again.
The Lakers attacked, and Bryant singled Delonte West with his back and finally hit.
Looking back, it was Qin Yang who faced the defensive Ariza and pretended to break through, and stepped back directly from a position outside the three-point line to shoot a long-distance three-point shot.
Hit again.
The difference is 2 points!
The Cavaliers attacked, Qin Yang stood outside the three-point line, and Ariza followed cautiously, stretching out his arm to interfere, not daring to relax in the slightest.
James stepped forward, and Qin Yang passed the ball directly.
James broke through with the ball, Qin Yang ran without the ball and Delonte blocked it, but the whistle blew and the foul was fouled without the ball. Conversion of possession.
This screen is between foulable and non-foulable, and Delonte pushed a little harder, blocked Ariza, and a foul was awarded.
The Lakers attacked, and at the critical moment, Kobe Bryant was sold again, and this time Kobe Bryant hit the iron.
Vallejo grabbed the rebound vigorously, but was knocked to the ground by Bynum.
The Cavaliers players immediately became angry and surrounded Bynum.
Bynum was not angry, and the referee was late for a foul, Vallejo made 2 of 2 free throws, and the ball was still the Cavaliers'.
At critical moments, fouls are normal, even if they are black, they have to pretend to be inadvertent.
A two-player like Bynum is destined not to become the boss of the team.
Emotional intelligence is not enough.
Equaliser.
The Cavaliers attacked again, Qin Yang held the ball again, James stepped forward to make a cover, Qin Yang dribbled and broke through, this time Pau Gasol stepped forward to help defend, Qin Yang hesitated in the middle distance and did not shoot.
James cut into the air on the other side, and Qin Yang volleyed hard and glanced at him, ready to pass.
Gasol's figure leaned to one side, Qin Yang instantly broke through to the other side, and Gasol didn't have time to move at all. Under the basket, Qin Yang quickly made a layup, and Bynum didn't defend it at all.
