In the second quarter, Howard returned to the court, and this guy was not tired at this time, and Iverson and Carter, Williams, and Jones were on the court at the same time.

Obviously, the current Cavaliers have 6 interior players who are a bit crowded, and the position of power forward, Hixon and Williams are very good players, but the time to play as a substitute is limited, and Scott is also a little worried about this.

Williams, as the No. 4 pick this year, has amazing potential, and what he mainly lacks is experience and perfect skills, and Hickson has become a player who can compete on his own at this time, so for the Cavaliers, both of them can do it.

In short, the Cavaliers at this time don't have to worry about the lack of bench depth.

The Lakers attacked, and Wharton took the basketball across the half court to Odom on the side, who received the ball and instantly hit the basket to score a pick-and-roll.

Odom, the former Heat brother, still has good strength at this time, big forwards and small forwards can be competent, and his all-round performance also makes many people staggered.

For Odom's defense, Jones really seemed so weak at this time, and could only watch him score there, but fortunately, Carter and others around him slowly pointed out, and slowly Jones got used to this rhythm of defense.

Rookies all grow up in setbacks, and Jones has always agreed with this sentence, so this guy is also very Ah Q's indifference, and still runs back and forth after Odom.

At 4 minutes and 34 seconds in the second quarter, Huang Xiang returned to the court and replaced Carter, who had 5 points and 1 assist, and the Lakers also replaced Kobe Bryant to Huang Xiang in the middle of the court.

After the two guys met, they pinched each other directly, Kobe Bryant first scored a three-point shot outside the three-point line, and then Huang Xiang also scored a three-pointer, his performance stunned the fans in the audience, and then cheered, it was so exciting, and Kobe's confrontation, I am looking forward to it.

The reason why it is different from the first quarter is that Huang Xiang came up to meet Kobe's challenge all stemmed from Scott's words before the opening: If you want to challenge the strong, then don't bear it, bombard him.

Of course, Huang Xiang, who received the holy decree, will no longer suppress his attack**, and of course, he will not back down again when he encounters Kobe's provocation.

Of course, I was very excited to see such a Huang Xiang Kobe, and I was still very excited to meet a new opponent when I was old, you know, he has defeated countless challengers, and this rookie, of course, is not in his eyes.

Wharton handed the ball to Kobe, who rushed straight to the right side of Huang Xiang, but Huang Xiang made a sideways turn to block Kobe Bryant's close front again.

"Yes, I actually ran to the front line, so you can try to block it again." Kobe Bryant smiled, and then his body accelerated and rushed to Huang Xiang's left side again, and his body instantly changed direction before Huang Xiang could react, but Huang Xiang still stood in front of him.

"Bastard" Kobe Bryant scolded angrily and then accelerated again, this time he exerted all his strength, but it still did not change the reality, Huang Xiang relied on his super fast speed and reflexes to block Kobe Bryant again.

"Drink" saw that he frequently failed to succeed Kobe Bryant did not try again, jumping outside the three-point line was a three-pointer, and miraculously, the basketball responded to the net.

Huang Xiang was obviously shocked by such a goal, it stands to reason that Kobe Bryant should not be able to hit this ball, but the facts are in front of him, which can only show that Kobe Bryant has entered the state at this time, and he should be careful.

After receiving the ball, Huang Xiang rushed into the basket along the bottom line, and then threw the basketball high, and the basketball smashed to the rebound and rebounded into the basket.

With the acquiescence of the coaches of both sides, Huang Xiang and Kobe Bryant continued to bombard, Kobe Bryant returned to the basket and hit a layup, and then Huang Xiang also rushed into the Lakers' interior and hit a layup.

At halftime, the Cavaliers 55:45 Lakers, it was clear that Kobe Bryant didn't take advantage.

The Lakers abandoned Kobe mode in the second half, but it was clearly too late, and Howard led West on the inside.

In the second half, both sides sent their main players, but the Cavaliers' focus clearly shifted to the interior, and Brown of course smiled when he saw this, and in his opinion, the combination of Gasol and Bynum was enough to deal with Howard.

However, he still underestimated Howard's strength, and he also overestimated the strength of the Lakers' twin towers.

Howard took Huang Xiang's pass, pushed his back hard, pushed Bynum and turned around to make a mid-range shot, and the basketball fell steadily into the basket.

Then the Lakers' offense was stealed by Huang Xiang, and Huang Xiang took the ball and flashed it through the half-court tomahawk style.

Fisher took the basketball across the half court to Gasol, but Gasol missed the shot, and the rebound was won by Bynum, who was fanned off by West.

The Lakers' interior line, which has always been strong, is obviously disrupted by the combination of Howard and West at this time, and it is no wonder that the formation is not chaotic.

But the strong Lakers were obviously not so easy to be defeated by this newly reorganized team, and Kobe Bryant stepped up at this time.

Kobe Bryant first hit a three-point shot to cause Huang Xiang to foul, successfully scored 2+1, and then seized the Cavaliers' mistake to score another three-pointer.

Kobe's performance made Scott stand up directly, Kobe is a crazy character, although he is old now, he still maintains the firepower that can go crazy at any time.

"Huang Xiang, it's up to him." Scott yelled at Huang Xiang in the arena, only Huang Xiang could stop this guy at this time.

Listening to Scott's words, Huang Xiang ran directly over, took the basketball and passed it to Jones on the side, who hit a three-point shot.

"Don't rob me of my business." Iverson looked at Huang Xiang with a smile, this guy and I grabbed an assist.

"No problem." Huang Xiangwan smiled, waited in the midfield position, and looked at Kobe Bryant, who rushed to him with the ball in front of him.

Kobe and Huang Xiang faced each other again, and this time Kobe rushed directly and threw the ball to Gasol on the side, and Gasol hit a high shot.

"Boy, sometimes you don't have to do it yourself." Kobe Bryant looked at Huang Xiang with a smile, boy, don't be too arrogant.

"Really?" Huang Xiang shook his head, then rushed across the half court to prepare to attack.

Iverson handed the ball to Huang Xiang, who shot directly from beyond the three-point line, and the basketball grazed the net, and Huang Xiang hit a three-pointer to widen the gap to double digits again.

With just over 3 minutes left in the third quarter, Scott smiled and replaced him with Carter after Huang Xiang hit another three-pointer, and at the same time replaced Howard, who came off the bench.

At the end of the third quarter, the Cavaliers 76:67 Lakers, the 9-point gap is not big, but it is not small.

"In the fourth quarter, everyone maintained the momentum of the third quarter, and they were bound to win the Lakers, and the opponent was not weak, so if you win this game, it means that you have a lineup of top teams, otherwise, I don't admit it." Scott looked at everyone seriously, and then smiled, "Of course, this is our first show in Cleveland, if you disappoint the fans, you will understand that you big men will be despised by countless people, okay, come on." ”

"Coach, you're not hurting what you're saying, aren't you?" O'Neill laughed as he sipped his drink.

"Loss? What is loss? I do not know. Scott laughed when he heard this, and to be honest, he wasn't much older than O'Neal.

"Coach, if we win the game today, will we celebrate?" Howard laughed.

"Celebration, I'm taking you to a newly opened hotel for dinner, "flyHX" I heard that it is a very good Chinese restaurant. Scott laughed wickedly.

"Teach...... Coach, you don't have to do that, do you? Huang Xiang turned his head around and went to my house to eat, didn't he want me to have a treat?

"Okay, okay, let's all have a good rest." Scott laughed, and then the other players cheered off the field.

The Lakers bench saw that the Cavaliers had begun to cheer, and they all blew their beards angrily and glared, these guys were too presumptuous, and they didn't take the Lakers seriously.

"They think they've won? Dream. Kobe angrily threw the towel directly to the ground.

In the fourth quarter of the game, the Lakers, led by an angry Kobe, began to fight back again, and a misunderstanding caused the guys to burst into stubborn firepower.

First, Brown hit a three-point shot, then Bynum blocked Jones' layup, the basketball was won by Kobe, and Gasol hit a mid-range shot, and the Lakers scored five points in a row to narrow the gap to four points.

Such a Lakers made the Cavaliers see a threat, Iverson turned and rushed inside to cause Bynum to foul, one of two free throws, the Cavaliers grabbed the rebound, and Williams hit a layup.

Fortunately, the Lakers' offense didn't last long, the Cavaliers seized the opportunity to score on the outside, and Iverson and Carter, two veterans, scored a total of 9 points in 3 minutes and slowly pulled the score away.

"Life is so beautiful." At 5 minutes and 23 seconds in the fourth quarter, Huang Xiang and Howard returned to the court for the final showdown.

At this time, Kobe Bryant and others had been fighting for a few minutes, and Huang Xiang and Howard were all full of physical strength, and there was no way, the Cavaliers slowly grasped the initiative of the game.

When the final sound of the game sounded, the Cavaliers won the game 108-97 Lakers.

After the game, the two sides shook hands as a gesture of politeness, and when Huang Xiang and Kobe Bryant's hands shook together, all the reporters in the audience pointed their cameras at their faces and clicked the shutter.

"You're good, but I won't be so careless in the next game." Kobe Bryant said with a smile, although he lost, this guy is really good.

"Really? There will be a date later. Huang Xiang laughed, he also admired Kobe Bryant, at such an age, with such skills, he deserved to be Kobe.

After this game, the Cavaliers only have their last two games left, so they will wrap up the preseason and focus on preparing for the new season.
