Chapter Ninety-Six: Going Crazy
But what I never expected was that it was not the Green Army duo who defeated Emperor Zhan, but Taylor Zeller, who had just come on the field, and he was like Emperor Zhan's nemesis.
Although James hit all three free throws to open the score again, he was quickly abused by Tyler Zeller.
The Celtics sent out the baseline ball, this time intending to attack, Shangguan Yu and others continued to run, messing up the Cavaliers' defensive formation. Shangguan Yu ran out of the open space, received a pass from Turner, and missed the three-point shot.
Tyler Zeller came out of the crowd and forced James to grab the frontcourt board, and what was even more infuriating was that he shook James away with a beautiful step and made an easy layup.
73-76, the Celtics are still behind.
When it was the Cavaliers' turn to attack, it was still the same tactic, and Shangguan Yu resolutely went around, although he failed again. But Tyler Zeller quickly stepped up and James didn't pass the ball, opting to go strong.
Taylor Zeller was like a wall, in front of him, and he just carried it like that.
If you have the ability, you will bump over, otherwise I will be clubbed like this, James lost the first hand to attack, Shangguan Yu came over, it was difficult to get the ball, this time he still chose to force a foul.
Tyler Zeller was smart enough to keep his hands in the air and not let James take easy shots and not give him a chance to foul.
The two were in a fierce physical confrontation, and Shangguan Yu was waiting for the rabbit on the side.
Caught!
Shangguan Yu jumped up suddenly and flew James's shot, although the ball was covered from behind, it was clean. The referee wants to blow for a foul, and there is no good reason.
James wanted to jump again and snatch the ball down, but Tyler Zeller took advantage of his height and arm length to be the first to see the ball taken away and handed to Thomas on the side.
The Celtics seized the opportunity to launch a quick counterattack, with a two-on-three frontcourt and Thomas assisting Jerebko for a layup.
This offense and defense made James very irritable, but there was no way at all. Because the brine lowers the tofu, one thing drops one thing.
Taylor Zeller didn't shake and his body didn't suffer, he just got stuck on the inside, making him play very hard.
Cheng Biting Jin, who was killed halfway, could abuse Emperor Zhan enough.
It was the Cavaliers' turn to attack, and this time James asked for the ball in a high position, and Shangguan Yu did not go around. But after James turned around, Shangguan Yu said like this: "Why don't you vote!" ”
As if he understood something, James stepped on his own rhythm and shot again from mid-range.
This goal is still nothing!
Jerebko grabbed the rebound and handed it to Turner to carry the ball forward, but Turner was a little hesitant when handling the ball. Irving cut the ball off, the Cavaliers fought back, and James dunked for his 35th point of the game.
It seems that he is going to soar 40+ today, and Shangguan Yu has only scored 23 points now, and the gap between the two seems to be getting bigger and bigger.
The current Cavaliers are all dependent on James, and as long as the Celtics exert their strength, they still have a chance to win the game. Shangguan Yu used cover, ran beautifully to get rid of it, received Bradley's second pass, and shot again at the three-point line.
Brush!
This ball is here!
76 to 78, although there is still a two-point gap, but this time it will definitely overtake.
The Celtics made another substitution, replacing Thomas off the break and letting Smart control the tempo. Although the Celtics were about to catch up with the score, they were in no hurry now, and replaced Smart to slow down the pace of the attack slightly.
It was still James who attacked with the ball, but Shangguan Yu still didn't let go, and this time James still had to break through.
Shangguan Yu couldn't withstand his attack from a high position, but Tyler Zeller made up for it in time, so James couldn't find a good chance to shoot, and this time he finally remembered his teammates.
It was just that he didn't shoot for a long time, and JR Smith's shot went wide of the basket, and Tyler Zeller controlled the rebound.
Thomas went down to rest, and now the main point of attack has become Turner to keep up with Guan Yu. It was just Turner's breakthrough that didn't get JR Smith away, he could only pass the ball. Smart played the ball inside and Tyler Zeller had no chance to shoot and had to pass back to Turner.
Shangguan Yu took advantage of the cover of Jerebuke, and after receiving the ball in the vacant position, he did not rush to shoot.
Because James had already pounced, Smart wanted to come over to cover, but Shangguan Yu asked him to pull away.
Looking at his teammates who were constantly running, Shangguan Yu suddenly pulled out a jump shot, this time the shot was very sudden, a bit like Maddie's sudden cold arrow.
It was a hard shot, but it was scored!
The Celtics overtook the score, and Shangguan Yu had scored 26 points.
But the third quarter was coming to an end with less than a minute left.
After the timeout, the Cavaliers replaced all of their main players, even James was not on the court.
Shangguan Yu couldn't understand this substitution, but he wouldn't be soft, not to mention that his hand was hot now.
The Cavaliers made a mistake on offense, Smart grabbed the ball, Shangguan Yu quickly followed up and shot outside the three-point line, although this ball Xiangbot saved, but this ball is still there!
Ke Fan couldn't help but sigh: "Oh my God, this goal is still scored, Shangguan Yu's hand feels hot, and the players of the knights are all thrown and don't know how to defend!" ”
The Cavaliers responded quickly, with Williams hitting a three-pointer to help stabilize the situation.
Turner missed a layup, and the third quarter ended, and the Celtics led the Cavaliers by one point at 82-81 and entered the fourth quarter.
As soon as Jefferson came up, he received an assist from Williams and hit a jumper from 7 feet out.
Shangguan Yu's defense this time exposed his weak single defense ability, and the reason why he was able to choke James just now was more because of the help of his teammates.
The feeling can't go on forever, so when he saw someone wrapping up, Shangguan Yu passed the ball as soon as possible. This time the opportunity was well found, Tyler Zeller reflexively cut into the air, just received the ball from Shangguan Yu, and made a layup.
After the third quarter came up, Tyler Zeller was like a fish in water, frequently wreaking havoc on the Cavaliers' interior line. It's a lot better than Olynyk, and now he can only sulk off the field and complain to Thomas.
Bench against substitute, Celtic did not fall behind.
The Cavaliers' offense is a little difficult to open, because there are only Mo Williams and Jefferson on the court now, and there is still a little offensive ability, but they have a very poor hand. More than half of the game has passed, and the Cavaliers' bench players have only contributed a measly 12 points.
The Celtics used joint defense to lock the Cavaliers' offense to death, and Xiangbot had no choice but to shoot three-pointers, and the ball jumped out of the basket again.
After Turner snatched the basketball, he made a layup directly, 86-81, and the Celtics had a five-point lead.
However, the Cavaliers quickly responded defensively, limiting the Celtics' offense while gradually chasing the score back. Shangguan Yu shot twice, hitting one and conceding one.
With more than 7 minutes left in the fourth quarter, he was substituted to rest.
The game was still very anxious, and Shangguan Yu knew that he would have to come back later, after taking a sip of water. Leaning back in his chair, gasping for air.
This game was very difficult, not long after Shangguan Yu came off the court, James appeared again, although he did not score, but his teammates began to step up, Irving and JR Smith, hit three points in succession, once again overtook the score.
The Celtics, led by Thomas, bit the score tightly and did not give the Cavaliers a chance to die. The current Celtics are like an unbeatable little powerhouse, which makes the Cavaliers hate it so much.
James is even more angry, because the current Crowder is also anti-burst and not anti-shooting. Although Amir Johnson is a little older, he is still tough enough, and the Celtics have used the strategy just now to prevent him from having many chances to score.
Because the Celtics let James play all the game, and now they are suddenly defended to death, and the other players of the Cavaliers are a little unable to find a feeling. Now the two sides are in a chaotic battle, and there are many mistakes, but the game is still fierce, and the two sides bite the score very tightly.
The game was extended a lot of time because of a foul, so Shangguan Yu could rest a little more.
But with more than 4 minutes left in the fourth quarter, Crowder fouled and left the court, and Shangguan Yu appeared again.
However, he did a lot of defensive work, just allowing James, with this free throw, to get a point.
There is only a 7-point gap between 29 points and 36 points, and there are still opportunities.
The score on the court was 93-94, and the Celtics were still one point behind.
Shangguan Yu ran very aggressively as soon as he came on the court, and he really wanted to fight this time because he was going to beat James.
Olynyk covered solidly, and although he was hit by James painfully, he didn't say a word and blocked people to death.
Receiving adjustments, slightly backward shots, beautiful postures, and beautiful arcs.
Shangguan Yu lived up to Olynyk's expectations, and this goal hit steadily, once again overtaking the score.
96-94, Shangguan Yu's 32nd point, the seventh three-pointer of the game.
Ke Fan roared: "This ball is still there, Shangguan Yu is divine today, these three points must have picked up Curry is three sub-packs!" ”
But this time he was wrong, Shangguan Yu did not bring Curry's three-point skill package, but Jun Zilei's shooting package.
The Cavaliers' offense was simple, with James as the central axis, but instead of eating Guan Yu with his back to him, he handed the ball to JR Smith, who received the ball and shot straight away, missing a mid-range jumper.
Turner took the backcourt rebound, handed it to Thomas to dribble, and finally stood on the outside with Guan Yu.
It was the game where the Celtics played their best three, Turner followed Guan Yu double cover, and the Cavaliers were a little caught off guard. In the end, he chose to kill the two people on the inside, but gave up Shangguan Yu who dropped the outside line, and received a pass from Thomas, Shangguan Yu was unreasonable, and shot a mid-range jumper from 20 feet away.
Brush!
The ball hit steadily, and Shangguan Yu scored the 34th point!
"Crazy, crazy, Shangguan Yu is completely crazy, who in the current knight team can prevent him?!"
