Chapter 385: Tomahawk Limit
"Everyone performed very well, there were no superfluous tactics in the second quarter, take a good rest, see it, the fans are waiting for the celebration wine." Scott gestured to the beer on the sidelines, the Cavaliers' management was ready to celebrate, and while it would be a bit embarrassing to lose the game, they were confident in themselves.
The atmosphere was still very lively, and the fans did not stop talking even during the break, and today Tangier, the owner of the Cavaliers who is not very present, was also on the scene.
And next to Tangier, it was really Grant and other Cavaliers executives, all sitting on the sidelines, it seems that they are very serious about today's game.
At the beginning of the second quarter, the Cavaliers and Lakers both dropped their outside cores to the court, and the Cavaliers Iverson, Huang Xiang, Jones, Garnett, and O'Neal.
Lakers point guard Blake, scoring guard Kobe, small forward Wharton, power forward Joe. Smith, center Bynum.
still didn't dare to replace all the main players on the inside, and he didn't need to say much about how strong the Cavaliers' inside line was.
A few minutes later, when the game began, Iverson took the ball across the midcourt and stopped at the three-point line to glance at Huang Xiang and Kobe Bryant at the top of the arc, and then rushed directly to the inside, Blake's defense did not have much effect on him.
After Blake Iverson handed the ball to Garnett on the side, Garnett took two steps forward in the face of Smith's defense and then made a layup, and the basketball hit the board into the frame.
Garnett was in good shape today, with the Cavaliers' five players quickly returning to defense, and the Lakers also speeding up their offense.
The basketball was handed over to Kobe, Kobe grabbed the ball with both hands and stepped forward with one foot, and then quickly retracted, looking at Huang Xiang in front of him, his eyes were full of vigilance.
Needless to say, how fast the guy in front of him is, he has brought a lot of shock to the Lakers players, but he is not for nothing, he is not enough to make himself afraid.
The body rushed forward two steps, Kobe Bryant's body stayed in the afterimage, and attacked from the side of Mars, Huang Xiang retreated, and then avoided Kobe Bryant, accelerated to Kobe's side again, and spread his hands to stop in front of him, and Kobe Bryant did not stop his steps and continued to rush forward, his waist flicked hard, and the center of gravity of his body was based on his right foot, and his body rushed directly past Huang Xiang to the inner line.
It's fast, it's weird.
Huang Xiang, who thought he had reached the world's top level, found that these superstars still had some tricks, and he could only feel the momentary pressure when he was personally taught, although he could also make such a move, but Kobe's obvious waist was faster when he threw himself out, and he didn't have a chance to shoot.
Bryant, who rushed past Huang Xiang, rushed forward two steps and shook the basketball to the basket with his big hand, and the basketball spun around in a small circle on it and then fell.
entered, Huang Xiang shook his head, but for a master like Kobe, he didn't plan to completely suppress it, but this goal was simply his carelessness, and next time in this kind of high-intensity confrontation, be careful.
"The response was good, but you still have to work on it." I was quite surprised that Huang Xiang was able to break through the third change of direction just now to block himself Kobe, this is a breakthrough with all his strength, this guy ...... The defense is really not ordinary.
Huang Xiang ignored Kobe, walked to the side and slowly ran across the halfcourt, his mind recalled Kobe's steps just now, the changes at the critical moment and several consecutive changes of direction, as if it was different from his own way of dealing with it.
Could this be what makes Kobe Bryant unique or his personal habit? Huang Xiang didn't know, but he wasn't allowed to think about anything at this time, Iverson had already brought the basketball past half court.
Handing the basketball to Huang Xiang, Iverson made a block for Huang Xiang, Huang Xiang rushed past Iverson's side, and threw the basketball to Garnett on the side with a big hand.
Garnett took the basketball and threw it out in an instant without the slightest pause, raised his hand and threw a shot, his trademark angled back, and hit.
The Lakers offense was handed over to Kobe Bryant again, Kobe glanced at Huang Xiang and then the corner of his mouth twitched, hit Huang Xiang and ran with all his might, just when Huang Xiang was ready to defend Kobe, the basketball in his hand shot and went straight to Bynum on the side.
Bynum took the basketball and stepped forward, throwing it out before O'Neal could reach it, and hit it.
At 4 minutes and 4 seconds into the second quarter, the Cavaliers took a timeout, and after the timeout, both sides played in lineups.
Iverson threw the ball high inside and Howard took the basketball with both hands and dunked it to the basket.
The "clang" basketball was dunked into the hoop by Howard, and the air relay raised the atmosphere of the scene by a distance.
The fans at the scene all looked at the players on the court excitedly, one by one like the Cavaliers' god of war, helping the Cavaliers to cut points on the Lakers.
Welbrook then raised his hand and scored a three-pointer to make the atmosphere on the scene a lot colder, Wei Shao was furious, and ordinary people really couldn't stop it.
Huang Xiang rubbed his nose, and then slowly ran across the half court, Iverson handed the basketball to Huang Xiang, Huang Xiang rushed two steps and then passed back to Iverson, Iverson received the ball and quickly rushed past Werbrook to the inside line to make a layup under Jones's block.
Before the end of the first half, the Cavaliers had a clear advantage, but in the end, the Lakers put Kobe Bryant in the middle of the court and scored five points in a row to chase the score back, and finally the Cavaliers 48:43 Lakers.
Time is spent in enjoyment, this sentence is the Cavaliers generals, today's most critical game, the Cavaliers invited 4 masseurs, each of them during the halftime massage for ten minutes, so that they can comfortably carry out the next game.
Huang Xiang was lying on the chair at this time, and a masseur behind him was massaging him, and the Cavaliers had to rely on them to fight, so the masseurs invited were all famous masseurs from Cleveland, which were the best tonic for athletes.
In the second half of the game, the Cavaliers players wanted to come later, and the longer it went, the more massage they could enjoy.
Of course, a few guys like Sun Yue who didn't play in the first half only enjoyed it for a few minutes, and most of them were enjoyed by the heroes.
At the beginning of the second half of the game, Huang Xiang and Howard played again, and the Lakers were the same, all the main forces, they were going to have a classic confrontation this time, and the game was about to start.
Why it is said to be a classic, you will know in a moment.
The Lakers took the lead in attacking, and the basketball was handed to Wildbrook, who quickly dribbled the ball across the halfcourt, and in the face of Iverson, he directly ignored his speed and rushed to his left side again, fortunately Iverson didn't defend it because of his age, otherwise he would have suffered a big loss, because this kind of attack that rushed directly to his side, if it had been before, Iverson would have easily intercepted the opponent.
Wildbrook, who crossed the three-point line, continued his forward momentum, Jones broke away from Artei to block in front of Wildbrook, and Iverson, who missed the defense, went straight to Atay, although the two were very different in size, but it would be good to be able to block it.
Wildbrook didn't change his speed in response to Jones's sudden attack, and his body accelerated to Jones's side, and then rushed past the guy whose body was obviously not as fast as his own.
Then the basketball handed over and gently picked the ball with one hand, and the orange orb in his hand broke away from Villebrook's big hand and went straight to the basket.
The trajectory forward is so perfect, as if it is a flying elf, so that Wildbrook, whose body has not yet landed, is very relaxed, this ball, by feeling.
But......
"Oh my"
Behind the "sizzle" came the exclamations of the fans and the sound of some people pumping cold air, could there be something wrong? Just when Wildbrook was puzzled, a burst of heat came from behind him, and then a red figure went straight to him to take the basketball he had shot, and No. 5 behind him told him that it was Huang Xiang.
"Snap" Huang Xiang's body rose higher and higher, and finally met the basketball in the air at the position of the entire arm of the basket at a high place, and he unceremoniously slapped the basketball away, and the cap, the key block.
The basketball went straight to the audience, and Atai watched his basketball run to the outside and went straight to the basketball without caring about anything, and took the basketball into his arms before the basketball flew out of the baseline, but then he fell to the ground, so before he landed, he said that the basketball was thrown behind him, hoping that the Lakers players would grab it.
Hope was good, reality was brutal, Iverson took Atay's pass and quickly rushed across the half, ready to attack.
"Damn it!" The Lakers players all rushed to the backcourt, and Artai also rushed to the front court after landing, Iverson did not pause to prepare for a fast break, but Kobe Bryant and Welbrook dispelled this idea, and the two guys quickly returned to their own half of the court, stopped Iverson, and had no choice but to throw the basketball to Jones on the side.
However, at the moment when Jones received the ball, there was a loud shout behind him, it was Huang Xiang who was rushing back with all his strength after the block.
"Give it to me!" Huang Xiang's voice was so loud, all the fans in the audience were attracted by this crazy guy, only to see him surpass Bynum and Howard in front of him, and rushed to the position of the three-point line in the front court, and Jones, at this time, also noticed Huang Xiang, the monster.
Such a menacing Jones did not hesitate to throw the basketball to Huang Xiang, such a passionate leader, everyone was willing to pass the ball to him.
Huang Xiang, who took over the basketball, did not slow down and rushed into the inside, at this time Gasol had returned, Huang Xiang's action made Kobe Bryant directly mention the high position and Huang Xiang fought together, Huang Xiang broke through Kobe Bryant in a flash, and then went straight to the Lakers' inside line.
The basketball was slapped in his hand, and there were two people in front of him, Villebrook and Gasol, the defense of the two did not stop Huang Xiang, jumped up and put the basketball behind his head, dunk? That's right, that's exactly what he thought.
Huang Xiang didn't know why he had such an impulse, the basketball was placed behind his head, his legs were raised back, because he used too much force when jumping, so the two thighs were still like green vines, and the blood vessels collapsed, and his body rose higher and higher, and finally the two-meter-old Han Gasol, who was more than two meters in front of him, completely surpassed, his chin was faintly level with the basket, and Huang Xiang flew up at this moment.
The big hand slammed it down, and Gasol and Villebrook in front of him were knocked out by Huang Xiang at once, and with the impact of the big hand and the basket, the attack ended.
Strong offense, extreme dunk, Huang Xiang once again created a miracle of dunking.
