Chapter 601: Recovering the Difference

The Lakers served in the backcourt, Ye Xuan slowly controlled the basketball and came to the frontcourt, the Lakers' tactics at halftime were very simple, that is, to seize the opponent's interior line to attack, not because of the opponent's poor interior defensive ability, but because according to consistent experience, their interior defense will drift in the third quarter, especially Tristan Thompson, maybe before the Lakers hit him to put pressure on him, he will make all kinds of mistakes, Therefore, Ye Xuan was also very decisive in holding the ball alone this time, and chose to impact the inside line.

After entering the inside line, Ye Xuan faced Tristan Thompson, who came over to defend, and forcibly jumped out, TT's choice at this time was also incomprehensible, and he tried to stand in place to make Ye Xuan's offensive foul, the key is that he didn't look at the position he was standing on, obviously he was in the penalty area line with one foot, and the result was naturally that the offensive foul was not successful, but he also paid a blocking foul, and Ye Xuan's work did not fall, and he hit it steadily, easily playing 2+1.

This ball also allowed the Lakers to further narrow the point difference, which made the Cavaliers a little panicked, but fortunately, although they were indeed in poor shape in the third quarter, at least there would not be a long-term scoring drought, after all, James and Irving are the top scorers in the league, this round is like this, James received a pass from George Hill, broke through two steps directly to the inside, and then pulled it up as a backward jumper shot, and the shot hit! This kind of difficult shooting is rarely completed by James, but today he really felt very good, so this ball was also a solid hit.

Looking back, the Lakers launched an attack again, Ye Xuan controlled the ball and passed the ball to Wade after coming to the front court, Wade's choice was very simple, that is, it was over suddenly, after the breakthrough, the opponent's defense was attracted by him, Wade was not strong, but a look back at the moon and divided the ball again, Solomon Hill on the outside received the ball, pulled it up and was about to shoot, James's defensive position was not out of position, and he immediately raised his hand to block, how did he know that Solomon Hill was a fake shot and a real pass, and he pressed his wrist directly, Sent the ball back to Wade's hands, Wade passed the ball out and then slipped to the left side of the court, received a pass from Solomon Hill and threw the ball easily, and Tristan Thompson, who was responsible for supplementing Wade, ran to add Saul again for some reason, and at this time, Gasol, who was not involved in the attack at all, was able to have two defenders around him, which shows how serious TT's sleepwalking is.

And Coach Tyronn Lue didn't want to get used to the stinky problem of TT, so he called a timeout to replace Tristan Thompson and replaced it with Channing Frye, Frye's performance in this Finals was actually not very good, but his appearance can at least help the team clean up the inside, so as to give James a better chance to break through and play alone with the ball.

The game restarted, the Cavaliers served in the backcourt, after Owen controlled the ball and came to the front court, he called James to help block and dismantle, after the blocking and dismantling, Owen successfully avoided Ye Xuan's pursuit, so Gasol had to make up for Owen, at this time, Owen looked back at the moon and passed the ball back to James who was waiting outside, after James received the ball, a gesture signaled everyone to pull away, and then began to hit Ye Xuan with his back, although Ye Xuan has a height of 201, his arm span is not bad, But it has not yet reached the level of being able to carry the back of James, who is the body of a big forward, so he was directly arched to the restricted area by the little emperor from a high position a few times, and Larry Nance Jr. on the side intends to wrap up, but Channing Frye has already found a good position on the outside, as long as Larry Nance Jr. leaves, he will give Frye a chance to shoot in an empty position, so they can only watch James knock Ye Xuan away a few times and then easily score the ball.

However, Ye Xuan is not a master who can suffer, immediately in the next round of attack, directly passed the ball to Wade on the outside, and then ran to the low position to ask for the ball to hit George Hill on his back, Hill, who was still gloating just now, also experienced Ye Xuan's feeling just now, although Ye Xuan and he defended against him, but obviously Ye Xuan's height and weight are more advantageous, coupled with Ye Xuan's low-post skills and back playing skills, it is also not to play George Hill, after returning the opponent to a single, Ye Xuan still felt that it was not enjoyable, and wanted to draw a scoop according to the gourd in the next round, but the Cavaliers were not stupid, and immediately arranged for Love to come over to wrap the clip, mainly because Larry Nance Jr. had no three-point ability, so the Cavaliers' interior line did not need to be pulled too outside, and the result naturally gave them the opportunity to wrap the clip.

Ye Xuan was suddenly caught by the opponent, and did not panic in the slightest, but calmly sent the ball back to Gasol's hands with a slap pass, and Gasol took a step inside after receiving the ball, and immediately handed the ball back to Ye Xuan who ran out of the line, Ye Xuan received the basketball and continued to take two steps out, and after coming to the three-point line, he turned around and pulled it up directly to make a three-point shot, George Hill, who defended Ye Xuan, was blocked by Scola, and Ye Xuan's unguarded three points were naturally hit steadily.

After hitting this three-pointer, the Lakers' trailing point difference has been narrowed to 8 points, seeing that the plot of the last game is going to be re-staged, the Cavaliers are also bursting out with amazing individual scoring ability, Love first exerted, received James' pass after the inside line was in the position, and then decisively turned around and threw the ball out with a small hook when Gasol had not had time to pass the bag, although Larry Nance Jr. is a jumping man, but his combat effectiveness is still a little worse, The lack of strength in his lower limbs left him with little ability to parry against Lefou's back-to-back singles, and he could only watch his opponent crash in and hit the ball a few times.

After all, this style of back singles, especially the back singles of outside players, has gradually been forgotten in this era, so the two commentators are also after seeing the continuous back singles, and they praised "See, this is the real basketball technique, this is the mystery of basketball, the high scoring efficiency of the back singles, combined with a variety of techniques, to the ball is very high, It's a pity that many of our players have gradually given up this technology in order to save trouble, Mark, to be honest, if you told me fifteen years ago, which center would not be able to play with his back to his back, then he might not even have a job, but now, you see, as long as you can shoot three points, you can find a contract. ”

Mark Jackson also immediately followed, "Yes, modern basketball has gradually forgotten this technology, now many young players only think about how to practice shooting three points, only think about how to play fancy dribbling to be cool, but no one really focuses on this pragmatic and relatively incomprehensible technique, I don't know when Ye Xuan learned these techniques, but it seems that he used it in previous games, but I don't know why he rarely uses this trick later, but it also makes sense, In terms of his three-point shooting percentage, he is indeed qualified not to use back-to-back singles, but now it seems that he is not unable to use it, but simply too lazy to use it. ”

The two commentators touted the back singles in various ways, but the players on the court began to hit them in the face, after Lefu hit the two points of the small hook, the Lakers also immediately launched a counterattack, Wade successfully entered the restricted area under Gasol's block, and then gave the ball to Gasol who was waiting on the outside, Gasol threw the ball directly against Irving's defense, and hit a three-point shot, just said that they couldn't afford to shoot three points from inside players, and now they were immediately slapped in the face, and the next Cavaliers offense, Almost the same plot played out again, Channing Frye was blocked by Irving, and then hit a three-point shot after receiving a return pass on the outside, ESPN and the two were speechless for a while, after all, before this, Channing Frye made 7 three-point shots in the first two games of the finals, and only one shot was hit, no matter how ridiculous this shooting rate was, they didn't expect that they had just spoken, and they hit a three-pointer in this game.

In fact, after Channing Frye hit this ball, it did make Ye Xuan and others feel a lot of pressure, after all, if the opponent's three-point shot from the inside player was shot, then it would be even more difficult for him to chase points in this game, but fortunately, in the next two rounds, the Cavaliers' offense also began to be blocked, although Irving continued to use blocking and breaking points to find teammates who were missed, but James and Love's empty three-pointers ended in iron, and the Lakers side, Solomon Hill's mid-range shot and Gasol's low-post back-to-back singles also failed to score points for the team. At this time, the Lakers had to replace Larry Nance Jr. with Clarkson because of the outside feeling began to decline, hoping to use Clarkson's ball-handling offense and outside projection to help the team open up the situation.

However, the opponent is obviously not a fool, and directly replaced Korver, and at the same time replaced Irving, in order to be able to ensure a little outside firepower in this stalemate situation, and to make the opponent unable to focus on the offense, so as to slowly use his own multi-point firepower and James's good hand to harvest the game.

After the substitution was over, the Cavaliers immediately relied on their interior advantage to attack, and although Solomon Hill tried his best to defend, he still couldn't stop James' low-post offense, and after being shaken off twice, the opponent easily hit two points. On the Lakers' side, as the shooting rate began to decline, the offense came to a standstill, and Ye Xuan, who was originally very efficient and useful, broke out to help his outside teammates find offensive opportunities, and now it suddenly failed, and the Lakers finally hit a mid-range shot, and then hit three more shots in a row, which caused the Cavaliers to quickly expand the difference to more than 10 points.

And what's more serious is that Ye Xuan, who the Lakers have been relying on, was heavily guarded by the opponent at this time, not only George Hill at this time, but Korver also came over from time to time to interfere with Ye Xuan because he didn't have to take care of Wade's outside shooting, so Ye Xuan didn't have any chance to play for a while, which made little Wharton, who had been habitually pinning his hopes of winning on Ye Xuan's personal ability this season, seem a little helpless. But fortunately, at this time, Wade stepped up, and when the Cavaliers were about to re-extend the gap to 12 points, he suddenly hit a long-range three-pointer to force the gap to 7 points for the Lakers.

Wade's three-point shot was also a change of direction to help Ye Xuan break the opponent's brainless defense, after all, the opponent didn't dare to go to the infinite air defense Wade, who had just shot a three-pointer, went to shoot three points infinitely, although Wade's three-point shot was not his conventional weapon, but he was an outside player, and he still had something in his hands.

And it was from this goal that the Lakers officially sounded the horn of the counterattack, in the next round of offense, the Lakers side by Clarkson with the ball to break through caused Lefou's foul, Clarkson hit two free throws to help the Lakers further narrow the score gap, the Cavaliers' offensive efficiency at this time also began to decline, and the Cavaliers failed to hit the ball in the next two rounds, but let the Lakers hit a three-pointer again, after the three-point shot was hit, The difference between the two teams has been narrowed to only 2 points, and the two-point gap is simply not a point difference for a team with extremely efficient offense like the Lakers.

And the Cavaliers also called a timeout to adjust their state. After the timeout, Tyronn Lue's substitution policy finally saw some effect, although Irving was not on the court, but Korver finally found some touch in this game, receiving a pass from Lao Zhan on the outside and pulling it up was a three-point shot, Clarkson's defense was in place enough, but still could not interfere with the ball.

Korver hit a three-pointer, and the Cavaliers breathed a sigh of relief, but the Lakers' offense did not give the opponent too much respite, Ye Xuan immediately slipped to the bottom line and turned over to the basket after breaking through on the offensive end and hit the ball again, at this time Korver's speed disadvantage was reflected, he just wanted to make up for the defense, and his speed was not enough to support him to keep up with Ye Xuan's footsteps, let alone interfere with Ye Xuan's shot.
