064 Jedi Strikes Back

Angry LeBron James.

LeBron, who was completely enraged by James Harden's kraft candy-style dead-skin play, began to fight back completely.

But when he fought back, he also seemed to forget about civilian basketball.

Civilian basketball that helped the Cavaliers lead the Rockets by as many as 20 points in the first half.

62-42, the Cavaliers led at halftime. At the start of the third quarter, the two teams scored seven points each, 69-49. The Rockets, who came back from the dead, threw away hope and dignity and significantly strengthened their defense and resilience. Harden hit the interior again and again, hitting three consecutive rounds of layups, plus one free throw, helping the Rockets hit a 7-0 mini-climax, and the score was chased to 69-56.

LeBron James starts to get on the punch.

His anger was written on his face, swollen into every muscle and vein. LeBron dribbled past half court, and Tristan Thompson stepped forward to block the pick-and-roll, and he waved back. LeBron gave the ball to the former, and then shook it left and right, taking advantage of Lefou's hand-handed pass to dodge half a step, and facing Eric Gordon, who was half a head shorter, was a three-pointer.

Three-pointers are here!

72 to 56.

Harden is still strong inside, and this time it was Korver who "took care" of him. Korver's defensive ability was clearly lacking, and Harden burst through the entire position. Fortunately, there was LeBron behind him in time to fill the position, relying on Korver's horizontal pull, Harden's breakthrough slowed down, so it gave LeBron time to pick a position, and the latter had firmly established himself in the restricted area, blocking Harden's upper, middle and lower three roads. But Harden is cunning and not brutal, he suddenly braked suddenly, stood up, raised the ball above his head and pretended to shoot, but Korver behind him couldn't dodge and loaded it directly on Harden's back. Korver actually collected his strength, the impact was not very great, but Harden played too realistically, he didn't want the superstar frame anyway, as soon as Korver touched his body, he fell to the ground, threw the basketball into the air, and wanted to make a shooting foul.

The referee ignored Harden's shooting foul this time, and only blew Korver to hit the man and give the Rockets a baseline ball.

The baseline ball was sent to Chris Paul, who took advantage of PJ Tucker's off-ball cover to go directly to the bottom line of the basket, catch the ball and throw it directly, and hit two points.

72 to 58.

Seeing that the Rockets' score came from Harden's foul again, LeBron James was even more malicious. This time, he simply didn't cooperate, walked around the three-point line, and finally spotted a gap, and rushed to the restricted area with a basketball in three steps.

This offensive routine is undoubtedly a bit too simplistic and crude, the Rockets see through the line, and Tucker stands on LeBron's forward line in advance. According to the rhythm of the first half, LeBron should have divided the ball in advance, he attracted two defenders by himself, and JR Smith in the bottom corner of the same direction was indeed in an empty position, but at that moment LeBron reopened the lone hero mode, his three steps to the last step, facing Tucker who was nailed in place, he also jumped and threw together!

Unexpectedly, the speed of the throw was too slow, and Capela, who was coming back from the free throw line, jumped up and hit the rebound!

Team Rocket strikes back!

The quick-eyed Paul saw that Gordon was already fast in the opponent's half, and he pushed with both hands and was sending the ball to Gordon's forward path, who directly grabbed the back buckle!

72 to 60!

LeBron James withdrew to the halfcourt and motioned for his teammates to send the baseline ball directly to him. He dribbled across the half court by himself and found Harden on his own, but this time he was not in a hurry and leaned on his back. Harden tried to pull the ball from behind several times, but was defused by LeBron, and the two superstars fought with their bodies, but in the end LeBron still had the upper hand, he advanced from outside the three-point line with the ball to the free throw line, turned and stepped back to shoot, and scored!

74 to 60.

The two sides reached a stalemate. Harden assists Gordon and makes a three-pointer. LeBron makes a layup. Paul broke through the ball to Capela to eat cake, LeBron hit a strong shot under the basket, and Thompson still missed the basket. Rocket positional battles, after several passes, were scored by Tucker hitting a zero-degree angle for two points. LeBron hit the interior again, shouldered Rockets center Capela and sent the ball to the basket. Rockets Harden hit a mid-range shot, and the Cavaliers made one of two free throws through Thompson.

81 to 67.

The point difference narrowed in the tug-of-war, but the Cavaliers still maintained the absolute suppression of the score. The rocket generals climbed up the abyss step by step, and it seemed that there was a faint light, but they couldn't figure out the direction of the exit yet.

"The score on the scoreboard has changed a bit. But we, I'm going to keep you in mind, are still 40 points behind. This one is not going to change! Until the last moment of the game, before the last second of the red bell, we were all behind! Remember?! Coach Mike D'Antoni reminded the players again.

With four and a half minutes left in the third quarter, the Cavaliers called a timeout after Thompson hit a free throw. Their main player, LeBron James, has been playing strong singles for several rounds in a row, and this timeout may be the time that Tyronn Lue is buying for him to recover!

LeBron James is 34 years old after all, and he didn't play a minute in this game!

Whether it's civilian basketball or a lone star, every minute on the court is a huge physical exhaustion for LeBron. When you play singles, you need to run, command, strategize, rebound, and do physical work, and you need to consume more physical strength when you are in basketball!

When the timeout was over, LeBron James was still playing the lone hero, but the success rate was significantly worse than before with the decline in physical strength and the Rockets' constant rotation defense, and the Rockets' three-point rain came at the right time!

Almost without warning, but plausibly, Paul controlled the ball at the top of the arc himself, and in the face of a tight defense by George Hill, who was taller than him, he threw a three-pointer from his back. The basketball is chiseled on the rebound and bounces into the net!

When Hill defended Paul's back, he also took Paul with his hand, and the referee blew for a three-point shooting foul!

It's three plus one!

Paul hit the free throw basket as well. This unreasonable three-point shot brought the Rocket's three-point rain!

Yang Yiming, who was newly substituted, received Capela's inside and outside pass in the bottom corner, and shot a high parabolic ball, and the basketball bypassed Zhan Huang's block and fell into the Nets at the other end.

Two threes in a row!

Paul – Paul again. This time, he stuck to Capela's blocking, and as soon as he was one step away from the three-point line, he shot on the spot again and hit it!

The teammates are all three-pointers, and the boss James Harden naturally has to add to the fire. After a whole quarter of silence and a rogue basketball full of ruffians, Harden finally made his step-back jumper at this point. Just opposite is JR Smith, Harden deliberately showed a little flaw, JR who took the bait wanted to grab it, and he was dodged by Harden with a dribble right behind his back, dodging a step, and sending the basketball out with the tip of his left finger!

Harden's three-pointer was also on hit.

With four consecutive three-pointers and a free throw, the Rockets recovered 13 points, while the opposite Cleveland Cavaliers were completely dumb. At the end of the third quarter, 81-80, the gap was only one point!
