Chapter 12: Extradimensional Trial Tournament (6)
Several key three-pointers in a row immediately made Lin Qi's status rise a lot in the hearts of James and others.
In the next few rounds, they also began to brew making balls for Lin Qi.
"It's a really good feeling to be used as a reliable helper by these NBA bigwigs, and it's good that the super-dimensional physical fitness used in this game is good, otherwise, with my real physical fitness, after launching a few three-point masters, it is estimated that I will lie down directly"
It's just that the people of the Warriors obviously won't let Lin Qi play like this.
Especially Klay Thompson, who was directly opposite Lin Qi, was scored a few three-pointers by Lin Qi so smoothly, he had already recorded Lin Qi in his heart, although he didn't say anything, but Clay's eyes when he looked at Lin Qi were already flashing with a combative light!
This kind of feeling of targeting, Lin Qi felt it very clearly.
In the next round, Clay faced Lin Qi's defense, did not pass the ball, but kept trying back and forth in front of Lin Qi, until he caught a hint of opportunity, and then mercilessly scored three points in front of Lin Qi!
At 63:56, Clay, who scored this three-pointer, nodded to himself with satisfaction, and then made a two-handed gesture of pulling out a gun in front of Lin Qi.
This extremely challenging action, in Lin Qi's opinion, really wanted to laugh.
"I don't know what kind of character I am in Clay's eyes at this moment, if he knew that I was still a high school student, would he still compete with me like this?"
Lin Qi thought to himself, and couldn't help but smile and shake his head.
This scene can only be regarded as a small episode in this game, for the Cavaliers, they must find a way to contain the Warriors' three points, otherwise, no matter how many three points Lin Qi can throw, it will be useless.
The Cavaliers are still James in possession of the ball, perhaps Lin Qi's performance just now also touched him deeply, facing Iguodala who defended himself alone, James chose to pull out the defense directly outside the three-point line this time.
The ball bounced in the basket three or four times in a row before it obediently fell in, and James, who scored this goal, yelled, patted his chest, and walked a set of overlord steps, and for a while, domineering leaked.
……
In the following time, the players on the court on both sides engaged in a fierce battle, and the score climbed steadily, and with the last two minutes of the third quarter, the score of the two teams had reached 75:70
In the last two minutes, the fitness of the players on both sides weakened, and there were consecutive missed shots.
And at this point, Tristan Thompson stepped up and dominated the Cavaliers' rebounding on both ends of the floor.
To say that the Warriors have Green and Iguodala on the court, they will not lose rebounds like this, but in addition to Thompson on the Cavaliers' side, after all, there is also Mozgov, even if his offensive means under the basket are clumsy, the height advantage is still there, so it is impossible for Green to leave such a behemoth alone.
As for Iguodala, he is currently the most effective player in the Warriors' defense of James, although it is Barnes who is opposite James, Iguodala's attention is mainly on James...
All these factors combined to create the birth of Tristan Thompson, a rebounding maniac.
Thanks to the Cavaliers' Thompson stepping up at this critical moment, the difference between the Cavaliers and the Warriors was erased again, and the third quarter ended with the two teams fighting again at 78-78
As soon as Lin Qi got off the scene, he immediately asked Lan Lan to help him recover his physical fitness.
"This is my last chance to recover my physical fitness, and if I run it out, I will have to use my real physical fitness" Although the real physical fitness works very well in the real game, but now it is an NBA-level game, Lin Qi knows his real physical fitness, I am afraid that it will not be long after he plays, and he will be squandered by his skill package.
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Cavaliers remained the same except for Mozgov, while the Warriors replaced Curry, with Klay Thompson playing on the court with several other players.
In the first round, Barbosa, who replaced Curry, went around the bottom line of the Cavaliers, and took advantage of the Cavaliers' unstable foothold to kill the Cavaliers with a good shot!
80:78
"This Barbossa, if I'm not mistaken, seems to have only gotten a short-term contract from the Warriors, but from his technical point of view, it's not particularly bad" This also made Lin Qi sigh in his heart The intensity of the NBA is so great "At present, if it weren't for the fact that I am in the extradimensional realm now, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to touch the threshold of the NBA."
Lin Qi was still thinking about the round just now, and Klay Thompson had already come to him and defended without the ball against him.
"Even the vacant seats are so tight," Lin Qi said with a smile.
"Because I'm not going to let you shoot any more threes!" Klay Thompson said with a grim face.
"Don't forget, we still have LeBron James on the team," Lin Qi said with confidence.
When Klay Thompson heard this, the corners of his mouth grinned slightly, and said, "We are the Warriors"
……
Dellavedova faced Barbosa's defense and used a clever change of direction to give the ball to James, who went straight to the basket and met the defense of the two to hit a high throw.
However, after all, he still encountered interference from Boggart and Livingston in this ball, and this ball deviated from James's expectations when he shot, flew out at an angle parallel to the basket, and then rolled around the basket and fell out again.
At this time, Mozgov, who had a mediocre performance throughout the game, rushed out without hesitation, firmly grasped this offensive rebound with both hands, and became strong in the next second, wanting to complete the second offense.
However, the Warriors got ahead of him and fouled his shot.
Truth be told, Mozgov's free throws weren't great, but James still stepped forward to applaud and hug Mozgov.
Mozgov, who was standing at the free throw line, took a deep breath to stabilize his mind before carefully throwing the ball in his hand.
However, basketball didn't seem to want to listen to Mozgov obediently, and Mozgov didn't score any of the two free throws, and the score was still 80:78.
Mozgov's face was slightly frustrated, but James stepped forward to encourage him.
This round seemed to let the Warriors find the Cavaliers' life, and Klay and several other teammates looked at each other and understood the other party's thoughts.
Taking advantage of the free throw time just now, the Warriors replaced Green and Iguodala again, and the Cavaliers replaced JR Smith and Shambaugh.
Speaking of Smith and Shambaugh, when these two were in the Knicks before, it can be said that they were about to become the team's cancer, so they will be packaged and sent away together as chips.
But they are in the Cavaliers, but they are on the side of the waist, and they have become the heroes of the Cavaliers who have been able to get to this point.
Shambaugh also fought with injuries in this battle, but his performance did not live up to the name of a defensive giant.
Under the joint defense of Shambaught and Lin Qi, Klay Thompson was not absolutely sure to shoot this three-pointer, so he had to distribute the ball to his teammates.
After the ball spun in Barbossa's hand, it was immediately given to Green.
At this time, Green, who was standing outside the three-point line, made a false shot, and Mozgov immediately stepped forward to block, but when he jumped, he realized that Green was just a feint.
I saw that he made a cover with the help of Barbossa, and at the position of one step inside the three-point line, he directly pulled up the jump shot, and the ball went in again.
Seeing the difference stretch to four points again, Green's face simply blossomed, and he and his teammates ran back to the backcourt with a smile.
Lin Qi was in charge of possession of the ball, and as soon as he gave the ball to James, the referee's whistle blew.
This made Lin Qi's whole person show a surprised expression, and it was not until he saw the referee's decision clearly that the referee blew the Warriors' foul on Mozgov.
This shot, because the Warriors did not have a number of fouls, so the Cavaliers did not get a free throw opportunity, but Mozgov served outside the line.
However, as soon as Mozgov stepped into bounds after serving, James' breakthrough had just started, and the Warriors immediately fouled him again and sent him directly to the free throw line.
"Shark slashing tactics?" Lin Qi was shocked, "It seems that Mozgov's bad free throws have been regarded as a weakness of the Cavaliers by the other party, and if this continues, the Cavaliers' offense will become fragmented, the tactics will not be implemented well, and the scoring efficiency will be greatly reduced."
For such tactics, Lin Qi was quite helpless.
And Lin Qi could see it, how could James not know that he had already started and smashed the ball into the basket to vent his unhappiness.
Mozgov, who was standing at the free throw line again, was under much more pressure than just now, and his eyes were looking at the basket, and he couldn't help but sweat beads on his forehead.
So far in the game, every point is fatal, the opponent is currently showing signs of using shark slashing tactics, and there are only two ways to crack it, either replace Mozgov on the field, or Mozgov can score free throws smoothly.
In the former, once Mozgov is off the court, Trista Thompson's personal pressure will inevitably increase sharply, and it will be difficult for him to be as efficient in grabbing rebounds as he was just now, and this is also falling into the hands of the Warriors.
As for the second ,......
Mozgov's free throws this time missed both free throws, which made the Warriors' bench happy, and for now, Mozgov would be happier if he didn't play.
The Cavaliers also called a timeout immediately after Mozgov's free throws, arranged a new round of tactics, and removed Mozgov, with Tristan Thompson as the center and the veteran Mike Miller as the substitute.
"This one, the Cavaliers also want to break the kettle and fight against the Warriors."
Looking at the new lineup on the field, Lin Qi also had some calculations in his heart.
