Chapter 10: Extradimensional Trial Tournament (4)

For James's pass, Lin Qi used a three-pointer in return to narrow the score again.

14:10

The score narrowed again, which also made the pressure on the whole Cavaliers team a lot less at once.

In the following time, JR Smith's nerve knife also began to unsheath, and this time, the Cavaliers finally achieved more flowering, and the offensive situation with the Warriors formed a mutual situation.

At the end of the first quarter, the Cavaliers and Warriors were tied at 23:23.

Off the field, Lin Qi clearly saw that the sense of urgency on James's face began to relax.

In this game, James's hand did not heat up, although the first quarter was tied, but his shooting rate was only two of nine shots, which obviously did not match his own strength.

However, Lin Qi is not worried, because he knows that James knows better than anyone what this game means, and he will inevitably make corresponding adjustments in the next time.

After a short break, the second quarter continued.

In the second quarter of the game, the Warriors put down Curry, Green and Iguodala and replaced them with Azeli, Speights and Livingston.

In order to keep the situation on the court, the Cavaliers obviously can't make a large number of substitutions, so they can only temporarily replace James and let him rest for a while.

The lineup on the Cavaliers' side has temporarily become James Jones, Lin Qi, JR Smith, Tristan Thompson and Mozgov.

"Now this period of time, it will be the most difficult time for the Cavaliers, the gap in the depth of the bench lineup, one accidentally is to overturn in the gutter, the first quarter of the game is difficult to pull the point difference, if there is a little instability, it will be completely pulled back"

Lin Qi also thought a lot in his heart, but he couldn't do anything about such a problem, this was the current situation of the knights back then, and he was powerless to change it.

"I have to sigh, if I belong to the camp of the Warriors this time, there will be no suspense in winning this game, after all, this is also the truth of history, but since I am now a member of the Cavaliers, the next time will also be the time when the extradimensional realm will focus on testing me."

For the Cavaliers, James is not there, two completely different teams.

James' all-round type on the court is not something that ordinary people can fill, and his overall view of the court always allows him to put the ball in the hands of his teammates at the most appropriate moment, and he can also stand up and score when the team needs him.

The game started with the Cavaliers serving first.

Lin Qi took the initiative to take on the task of dribbling and propulsion, and when he came to the frontcourt, Klay Thompson stared at him tightly.

Obviously, Lin Qi's important performance in the first quarter has also been included in the Warriors' focus on the target.

For such a scene, Lin Qi naturally will not be reckless, although there is a super dimensional skill package, but Lin Qi is not arrogant to think that he can easily pass the defense of the Warriors.

Especially for a team-type team like the Warriors, their defensive ability is also an important reason to help them reach the top!

Before Klay surrounded him, Lin Qi gave the ball to Jones on the side.

Jones picked up the ball and clicked it, and when he got up to shoot a three-pointer.

Azeli, who was in charge of defense on the Warriors' side, rushed up, but in the process of pounce, one did not brake and crashed directly into Jones.

Jones also fell to the ground after a three-point shot.

The referee's whistle blows, and three free throws are taken.

Azeli suddenly clasped his head in his hands and smiled, as if he was sorry for what he had just done.

But his teammates didn't say anything about it, Clay just stepped forward and simply patted him on the back, signaling him to be a little more serious and not to be too impulsive.

At the free throw line, Jones made two of three shots to take his first lead over the Warriors since the game began, 25-23

When the Cavaliers retreated, the Warriors also launched a fast break.

Azeli, Speights and Livingston led the charge, while Klay and Barnes followed with the ball.

Lin Qi directly guarded Klay who was dribbling outside the three-point line.

"Klay Thompson's three-point ability is not inferior to Curry's, and he can only pull the defense outside the three-point line"

Since Lin Qi couldn't hear the coach's tactical arrangement, he couldn't know what the tactics implemented by his teammates were, so he could only cooperate with his teammates as much as possible according to his own ideas.

While dribbling, Clay looked at Lin Qi with interest, "Hey, there's a lot of pressure to defend me, isn't it, it's a pity, your defense is like a honeycomb to me, I can go wherever I want"

Lin Qi didn't expect Clay to speak to himself, in the face of such a provocation, although he knew that what he said was almost the truth, but Lin Qi still had a thought in his heart that he would not admit defeat, and stiffly replied with a sentence "Then you should give it a try"

After that, Lin Qi also took action, directly launched a steal master, and tried to cut off the ball in Clay's hand.

Not to mention, I don't know if it's Clay's carelessness or Lin Qi's steal attributes, this time, Lin Qi actually succeeded in cutting Clay's ball out again.

At this moment, Clay was also a little panicked, and he and Lin Qi started almost at the same time, rushing towards the ball.

It's just that Lin Qi's speed is indeed a lot slower than Clay, and Clay still grabbed the ball first, and did not let Lin Qi steal successfully.

Despite this, Clay still looked at Lin Qi with some surprise, in his opinion, he was careful enough to dribble, but he was still cut off at once, and suddenly, his understanding of Lin Qi went to a new level, at least, his grasp of the timing of the steal was accurate enough.

With such a toss just now, the Warriors' offensive time was running out, Klay gave the ball to Barnes in time, and Barnes broke through to the inside, and when he encountered a double bag, the ball was given to Livingston's hands.

Don't look at Livingston, he looks a little thin, his one-handed shooting ability is not bad, in front of JR Smith, his whole person seems to have performed a light skill, jumping up elegantly, and sending the ball into the basket steadily.

25:25

If the rhythm of the game can be maintained like this, it is not bad, but unfortunately, in the next few minutes, including Lin Qi, all the Cavaliers suddenly seemed to become unable to play, and continuous mistakes and missed shots gave the Warriors a lot of offensive opportunities in vain.

The Warriors, led by Klay, also managed to pull the score to 25:32 in one fell swoop.

With a seven-point difference, the situation seems to be back to the beginning of the game.

Lin Qi gasped for breath.

Because of the continuous back and forth, Lin Qi's physical fitness was severely tested, and in order not to affect the next performance, he asked Lan Lan to help him recover his superdimensional physical fitness in time.

On the Cavaliers' side, James couldn't sit still off the court, so he re-entered the game and replaced James Jones.

Lin Qi was put in the position of point guard.

At this time, almost at the same time as James came on the court, Curry was also substituted.

James of the Cavaliers, the Splash Brothers of the Warriors, the absolute core of both teams, have all returned to the court.

After receiving the ball, Lin Qi carefully dribbled to the front court, and in the face of Klay's defense, Lin Qi gave the ball to James who came to receive it without thinking about it.

After James received the ball, he immediately distributed the ball to Mozgov on the inside.

This time, standing in front of Mozgov was the slightly chubby Speights.

Although the low-post technique is not good, Mozgov still used his height advantage to hit Speights beautifully, giving the Cavaliers another cold hand back to the temperature.

After scoring this goal, Mozgov patted his chest, clenched his hands and screamed, which was considered to vent his emotions, and then returned to the backcourt to defend.

But Speights seemed to have written down the goal.

Next, Livingston received the ball and quickly passed it to Curry.

Curry shook the defender in front of him with a few dribbles and then gave the ball to Speights, who ran outside the three-point line.

Speights didn't say a word, and it was a three-pointer when he pulled up.

Goal scored, 27:35

Mozgov, who was originally staying under the basket and was about to grab a rebound, looked at the basket a little helplessly, and then looked at Speights, and found that Speights was also looking at him proudly.

Lin Qi looked at the two of them and knew that Speights was fighting for Mozgov's ball just now.

"If the Warriors' three-point feel continues to be so hot, this game, the hope of winning is too slim, there are only a few points for us to shoot three-point points, and the two points that we fight hard to play, they will overtake them with one three-point" Lin Qi looked at Curry a little helplessly, and sighed in his heart.

continued to dribble forward, and after a change of hands, Lin Qi, who originally wanted to shoot, found that his shooting space had been blocked by Curry and Thompson, so he had to temporarily give the ball to James in the air.

James took the ball and walked out of the three-point line...

Almost at the same time, Azeli followed.

James was immediately forced into the bottom corner by Aizeli, and there was not much time to attack, and the rest of the Warriors team did not step forward to defend.

Lin Qi wanted to step forward to answer, but he didn't find a suitable opportunity, at this moment, he could only run and watch James's movements.

James cautiously nodded his foot to test Azeli's reaction.

Ezeli seemed to have a look of certainty on James' face, and there was no superfluous defensive move.

"It seems that Aizeli wants to defend James until the offensive time runs out" Lin Qi finally found a good opportunity at this moment, when he raised his right hand and ran towards James.

Lin Qi's running obviously caught Aizeli's attention, and his center of gravity subconsciously moved a little to the side to prevent James from passing the ball to Lin Qi.

But James took advantage of this gap and jumped up directly, not passing, but shooting...

Three points in the bottom corner, shoot back!

At the same time that James fell to the ground, the ball went in.

At 30:35, at this moment, James glanced hard at Azeli, as if demonstrating.

Lin Qi knew that the cold feeling had plagued James for a whole section, and now it was time to vent!
