Chapter 132: Fierce Battle
So far, Chen Yu has not scored, but after he returned to the court, he did get an assist.
The Cavaliers began to attack, and Irving planned to come by himself, but his dazzling offense and those extremely realistic feints made Chen Yu still be overcome.
Irving didn't force a break when he got inside, but scored the ball with a mid-range shot.
The score was tied again, and Irving had already scored 21 points.
The Lakers are on offense again.
Chen Yu used his left hand to protect the ball to prevent Irving from possible steals, and his right hand tried to dribble the ball as low as possible, as close to the ground as possible, and the dribble was fast and powerful, all to prevent being stealed.
Outside the three-point line, Irving has already posted it, although he doesn't think Chen Yu is a player like Kobe, but now it is a relatively important moment, and he is also worried that Chen Yu's three-point shot will bring some trouble to the Cavaliers.
The moment Chen Yu posted it on Owen, he suddenly shook left and right, and went directly to the inside line from the top of the arc!
Owen's speed was also very fast, but Chen Yu's start was too sudden, and the speed of 82 exploded, which also prevented him from completely catching up with Chen Yu.
Chen Yu came to the inside to face the defense of the Cavaliers and stuffed the basketball to Gasol, Gasol saw that he could end the offense with a mid-range shot, but the Cavaliers defended quickly this time and directly blocked Gasol.
It's just that Gasol is a particularly organized player, and after he faked his mid-range shot, he found that Chen Yu had just passed the ball and had gone directly to the bottom corner of the left three-point line.
Owen's defensive ability is not as amazing and brilliant as his offensive ability, which can be seen clearly at present: he did not catch up at the first time, so that Chen Yu was exposed.
Although it was outside the bottom corner of the three-point line, for Chen Yu, he was particularly sure of this kind of vacancy, so although the Cavaliers came up to interfere, Chen Yu played a time difference, and he was not even a little afraid, but he just raised and fell with his hands and put the basketball firmly into the basket.
74-71!
Chen Yu's three-pointer finally stretched the score of the two sides to more than 3 points.
There was a wave of boos from the fans at the scene, who were particularly unhappy with the three-point shot, and the head coach of the Cavaliers also shouted from the sidelines, telling Irving to focus on defense.
Owen frowned, unable to discern what he was thinking.
Chen Yu's heart is also a little excited, the previous three-point shot missed made him doubt his feel today, but this three-point shot proves that his skills have reached a certain level, unless the hand is really bad enough to doubt life, otherwise, he can always find an opportunity to throw the basketball into the basket.
The Cavaliers went on offense.
Owen once again took the ball and went it alone!
In fact, Chen Yu was particularly afraid of this, he knew that he would definitely not be able to prevent Owen, but he had to bite the bullet.
Moreover, Irving's tactical position in the Cavaliers is very large, and it is estimated that he still has unlimited firing rights, which is completely different from himself. So it was only natural that Owen was going to beat himself.
Owen is another dazzling series of changes of direction this time, this kid's dribbling skills are like perfection, it looks pleasing to the eye, and there is no steal space at all!
Chen Yu could only use his speed to keep up with him as much as possible, but he still shook off his center of gravity, but this time Owen did not directly choose to enter the interior, but came to a three-point jumper!
It seems that he feels that he should not be provoked by this rookie, and he has to use a three-point shot to fight back.
It's just that Irving didn't hit the ball, and the Lakers grabbed the rebound.
Bryant possessed the ball for more than half the court and did not realize the opportunity for a fast break, and the two sides began to fight again.
Chen Yu once again shook off Irving, through his speed combined with the progress of this time, there was a slight gap outside the three-point line on the right side, Kobe Bryant passed the basketball over, but when Chen Yu was about to jump shot, Tristan Thompson rushed up to interfere with Chen Yu, and Chen Yu made a jump shot feint to hit the inside.
Because the speed of this ball Chen Yu is really too fast, when the Cavaliers' interior line came to defend Chen Yu, there was finally a rhythm problem on the inside, Chen Yu got up directly and made a mid-range shot, but at that moment he threw the basketball to the basket instead of shooting directly.
This ball is impossible to hit at first glance, but Thacker has already jumped up, and after receiving Chen Yu's pass, while the Cavaliers' interior defense has not returned, it is directly a ferocious air relay!
The Cavaliers' basket was smashed to a shaky wobble, and Chen Yu has delivered 5 assists in this game after this aerial relay, which is particularly brilliant.
The score also became 76-71, and the Lakers' lead finally reached more than five points.
D'Antoni on the basketball court was expressionless, but he was always like that, even if the team was already 30 points ahead, he still looked dissatisfied with the team.
But he has also been considering Chen Yu's contribution in his heart.
After this goal, Chen Yu's contribution also calmed down a little, after all, there are still Kobe Bryant and Artest on the court, and Chen Yu can't always have such the ball and the right to shoot.
In the next ball, Owen hit the inside again, and Chen Yu had no choice but to foul him, allowing him to go to the free throw line.
Then, the shooting rate of the game in the third quarter was also declining, and the Lakers' ball was basically in the hands of Chen Yu and Kobe, and Chen Yu would choose to pass the basketball to Kobe Bryant in most cases, and his contribution was to send another assist.
Soon, there were only 23 seconds left in the third quarter, and the Lakers had the ball.
The score is now 84-83, and the Lakers' lead is only one point left, mainly because Thompson hit a three-point jumper with a nerve knife just now, so that the score was pulled back.
Chen Yu once again controlled the ball outside the three-point line, he pulled the ball back to the top of the arc, and then suddenly broke through to the inside line with two consecutive changes of direction.
Chen Yu couldn't explode his speed to the maximum because of the problem of ball control, and Owen soon caught up.
At this time, Chen Yu moved sideways towards the other side of the basket, and Artest saw that people were coming here, so he could only come up to help block Owen.
At this moment, Chen Yu had a little chance, although Thompson also defended up, but Chen Yu's fake action of a jump shot finally gave him a little gap, and then he really started to jump this time!
This ball, in fact, also carries a lot of things, everyone is looking at the basketball that left Chen Yu's hands, because if it hits, it is the whistle, if it doesn't hit, the two sides almost returned to the same running line in the fourth quarter!
