Chapter 1019: James Step (Third Update!) )
James was waiting for Davis's free throw with his hands on his waist, but when he heard the short whistle on the sidelines, he turned his head and saw that it was Tang Tian, and his face was helpless.
His ball quotient and emotional intelligence are very high, and he can guess what Stevens thinks.
This paragraph is actually a game between the two sides.
If the Cavaliers can get the margin to 20 points or more, then their victory is basically a certainty.
On the other hand, if the difference is narrowed, the situation will become confusing again.
Tang Tian with physical strength is very terrifying.
At the same time, Davis also turned his head to look back.
When he saw Tang Tian on the field, he took a long breath.
He finally carried it until Tang Tian came back.
Adjusting his breathing, he steadily hit the penalty.
The Pelicans narrowed the gap to 13 points!
With more than eight minutes to go until the end of the game, there is enough time for them to chase the score!
"Defend! Defend! ”
The fans cheered in unison for the Pelicans.
They're going to take advantage of this wave of attack!
At the critical moment, it was still James, who broke into the inside line and hit a big back-to-back hit!
James' age is rising, his skills are getting richer, and by now he's gone from a bulldozer to an offensive kaleidoscope.
It was a crucial score, and the momentum at home was clearly suppressed.
Aside from the team, Tang Tian and James are now both away silencers, and no one can compare in suppressing the momentum.
James's scoring was crucial, but Tang Tian was not far behind, and he turned around and made a quick stop to hit the color.
This paragraph has become a soaring performance between Tang Tian and James.
The frontal PK of the first and second people in the league, the fans who watched the climax.
Stevens looked a little anxious on the sidelines.
This stalemate is clearly more beneficial to the leading Cavaliers.
After all, time is getting less and less.
Before the game came to the final four minutes, the Cavaliers still led the Pelicans by 12 points 112-110.
That's not enough time for the Pelicans.
Stevens was forced to call a timeout.
"Looks like the Cavaliers are going to bring the game back to Cleveland."
O'Neill sighed in the commentary seat.
This time he was not milk, but really helpless.
In the current situation, considering James' hot form, it is almost impossible for the Pelicans to turn around.
"They won themselves a chance."
Barkley nodded in agreement.
Last year's playoffs were narrated by TNT, and as a professional commentator, he still knows the little ninety-nine in the game.
So even if the Cavaliers managed to turn the game 3-3, he still had some disdain in his heart.
This is also a normal thing, he is the one who said that the jump shooting team can't win the championship.
However, from what he just said, you can feel that the Cavaliers' performance tonight has earned his respect.
"We might be able to see another tiebreaker."
Miller followed suit.
It is foreseeable that if the Cavaliers can really win this game and win another game, the attention of the seven-tiebreaker will explode.
"Brad, I'll defend LeBron and let AD help me defend."
Tang Tian took the initiative to propose to Stevens.
Stevenston paused, then nodded at the end.
James is really too perverted tonight, and has scored 49 points so far, setting a new playoff high in his career.
The physical advantage he had hoped for didn't materialize.
Now we can only expect Tang Tian to create some miracles on the defensive end.
Although Tang Tian is a swing man of the front guard, in terms of position, the two of them are not together.
The timeout came back, and the Pelicans offense.
Tang Tian and Davis were caught after blocking and dismantling, and passed the ball to Davis as soon as possible.
Davis didn't waste the opportunity, dribbling and scoring on a layup to help the Pelicans close the deficit to 10 points.
Stevens' timeout is still very effective, but 10~12 points, the difference between the two teams has been deadlocked for more than 4 minutes.
If the Pelicans want to change the situation, it's up to them to make some changes on the defensive end.
Otherwise, if this stalemate continues, their chances will be gone.
James held the ball again and found that the defender in front of him had become Tang Tian.
The fans also noticed this, and the scene resounded with bursts of cheers.
It's like an ancient war, the battle between the two armies is scorching, it depends on who can have the upper hand in the head-on confrontation!
"It's difficult."
However, Miller and Smith in the commentary seat said almost in unison.
Both of them were analytical commentators, and when they saw this counterpoint, they knew that Tang Tian was very disadvantaged.
People are reminiscent of Tang Tian's steal of James three years ago and the experience of winning the championship for the Spurs.
But Tang Tian is a swing man after all, and he has a great chance of succeeding in a round if he is taken by surprise, but he will definitely suffer a loss if he keeps defending himself.
After all, the two are not at the same level in size.
Sure enough, after James arched Tang Tian twice with his back, he turned around and hugged the ball and slammed towards the basket.
A jump step to carry Tang Tian, and then take a step past Davis, who helped the defense, shot.
This is the iconic James step, and it is also the four-step layup that James has complained about countless times by fans before.
But after the FIBA rules have been changed, this is no longer a step.
And I have to say that his use of this technique is perfect, even if Tang Tian and Davis help to defend, they can't prevent it.
It's an inhuman pace.
James wipes the board of shots.
However, at the moment when he made a move, the scene suddenly burst into exclamations.
Behind James and Davis, a figure rose into the air.
Tang Tian!
Tang Tian seemed to have expected that James would use this trick, and after being squeezed through, he jumped up first, and used his stagnant air to wait in the air for a while before making a move.
"Bang!"
In the staring eyes of the fans, Tang Tian rewarded James with a pegboard hat!
James step, was guarded down!
After Tang Tian blocked, he took the defensive rebound and threw his hand to the front court.
This wave of Pelicans obviously has a tactical deployment, Holiday has rushed out of the frontcourt, and after receiving a long pass, he quickly whipped to the frontcourt.
Owen struggled to defend behind him, and Holiday was distracted by the goal.
But in the next second, Ariza who followed up scored a second rebound.
From the beginning of playing the Warriors, the Pelicans have strengthened their defensive counterattacks, and when it came to playing the Cavaliers, it was obviously easier to play.
For the first time, the margin was forced to close to 8 points.
The Pelicans saw an opportunity.
“defnese! defnese! ”
The fans were once again imposing.
James continued to hold the ball, still hitting James with his back wide open and closed, but this time he paid attention to Tang Tian's defensive position.
After seeing that Tang Tian was far away from him, he would make a quick move.
However, at the moment of his shot, another big hand covered his shot.
Davis!
He has a small lever in the air, but that's not his forte.
"Bang!"
Davis exerted his strength and flew James's shot fan out of the court!
James was blocked by Tang Tian and Davis in a row!
