Chapter 134: Heads-up!
The more Livingston played, the more he felt that it was not good to limit Chen Yu, although Chen Yu did not score after that, his assists have made the data continue to grow, and also expanded the Lakers' point difference to 9 points!
At this time, another Cavaliers offense began, Livingston controlled the ball and went inside, trying to suppress Chen Yu with a stop-and-go shot.
After all, in terms of height, Livingston still has a very strong advantage, and his emergency stop shot is also very stable, and it seems that it is a sure thing to suppress Chen Yu.
However, Kobe Bryant suddenly came out of the diagonal stab, and Livingston instinctively planned to put away the basketball to avoid being stealed, but Chen Yu also came over at this time and poked his ball down with his hand.
Although Chen Yu is not adding points to the defense now, Livingston's ball is too flawed and is seen by Chen Yu.
Chen Yu protected the ball from the other side, and then immediately advanced past the half, and Artest was already close in sight.
The ball had inevitably played a defensive counterattack, Chen Yu estimated Artest's position, and 70's organizational ability also calculated all this clearly, and threw the basketball directly out with his left hand.
After Atai received the basketball, he took a step forward and smashed the basketball directly into the basket!
7 points and 10 assists!
Chen Yu's assist record was refreshed again, and he also achieved his first double-double assist since entering the league!
The Cavaliers saw that the margin had widened to 11 points and had to call a timeout.
Chen Yu stepped off the court, and by now, his physical exertion is not small, and this match may also become a new high in his playing time in these recent games.
Now that the Lakers' Nash is not there, the main point guards can play are Blake, Duhon, Morris, and Chen Yu, but in fact, Morris has become more and more marginalized after Chen Yu's rise, and he has played very little time in the two games when Chen Yu returned to the Lakers, and Du Hong's playing time has basically been occupied by Chen Yu, so Chen Yu's playing time is good, which is also expected.
Moreover, because Nash is not there, the remaining other point guards are now allocating time according to their respective performances, and Chen Yu's performance in this game is also outstanding, so in the next game, Chen Yu will still play.
The Cavaliers saw that Livingston had no way to completely restrict Chen Yu, so they directly sent Irving out.
After Irving came on, he played really well, and on the first ball he used the help of the block to kill the inside line, and after a series of dazzling maneuvers, he scored on the high board.
Legend has it that when Irving practiced the ball, he was a wrench with a big hole, and he grew up training on such a rebound, as long as he could give some space and the basketball could get the rebound, he could basically score, no matter what angle.
Whether this legend is true or not, at least, his hand work is indeed particularly delicate.
The score gap returned to 9 points, and on the Lakers' side, Kobe Bryant's jumper hit an iron, and Irving hit a three-pointer on the Cavaliers' side.
The difference is only 6 points!
There was an explosion of cheers from the arena, and Irving's three-pointer at such a critical moment was too uplifting!
At critical moments, Owen can often incarnate into another person, grinding his teeth and sucking blood, and his hands are up and down.
The ball is back in the hands of the Lakers, and this time the offense is crucial, if it doesn't go in, the Cavaliers will only have a three-point difference if they go on a shit luck and make another three-pointer......
Chen Yu controlled the ball over half the court, and originally thought that Kobe Bryant was going to ask for the ball to play one by himself, but he didn't see this happening, but Kobe was running to the bottom line, just opening up space and waiting for Chen Yu's pass.
Chen Yu quickly understood what Kobe Bryant meant.
In fact, Kobe Bryant doesn't want to do a big deal, after all, he also knows that such a team can't go far, and the season eight years ago has shown this, and Kobe Bryant can't always be in great shape. Therefore, Kobe Bryant also hopes that his teammates can step up, but such teammates are not like Howard who lack enough tacit understanding and cooperation with each other, and he hopes that the teammates who can stand up are like Chen Yu, who is very knowledgeable and can contribute a lot of the time.
Now at this critical moment, he really wants Chen Yu to solve it by himself and see how far he can go.
At this moment, Irving's heart is not fully prepared to defend Chen Yu, he still has to worry more about Kobe's offense, and now a large part of his mind is over there, because at this time he believes that Kobe Bryant will definitely shoot, and it is the kind of shot that must be scored.
It was at this time that Chen Yu had already made up his mind.
Two early changes in a row, and then suddenly one behind the other!
The basketball kept going back and forth in Chen Yu's hands, although Owen was particularly powerful in this kind of breakthrough and change of direction, but his defensive breakthrough and change of direction was not so invincible.
Chen Yu dribbled the basketball to the left again, and Owen's center of gravity shifted to Chen Yu's left hand, but Chen Yu already had a plan for the ball, and his left hand suddenly closed the ball, and a change of hands came behind his back, and his body also shifted to the right!
The basketball and his body both came to the right side at the same time, and Irving also dodged a little distance because of this series of feints.
That's enough distance!
Chen Yu immediately jumped out of his hand!
Although this series of changes of direction coupled with a behind-the-back hand pass is a big burden on the body, and it can also cause the whole person to lose balance after receiving the ball.
But Chen Yu originally planned to go head-to-head with Irving, and originally thought about pulling out space to jump directly after a series of changes of direction, so now he is ready.
The basketball seems to have eyes and goes straight to the basket!
"Huh!"
Another crisp voice wafted up!
"Good shot!"
"Good shot!"
On the Lakers bench, towels were like clouds, several people stood up and waved towels, and many people were constantly cheering and shouting, because this ball was really handsome.
Chen Yu also clenched his fists tightly, this feeling of scoring a goal after a heads-up is simply refreshing!
After this goal, the margin is back to nine points again!
10 points and 10 assists!
The role of this ball, undoubtedly, helped the Lakers again, and also allowed Chen Yu to get the first double-double of his NBA career so far!
Since then, Chen Yu has lit up a new record in the NBA and set foot in a new field.
In the next ball, Owen was covered, Chen Yu controlled the ball and passed the ball to Kobe Bryant after half the court, Kobe Bryant hit a three-point shot with a tentative step, and the difference was 12 points, and Chen Yu brushed an assist again!
10 points and 11 assists!
Chen Yu's data is growing again!
The Cavaliers, too, began to give up resistance.
