Chapter 476: Overturning the Knight and the Three Pairs

Although the Cavaliers did not have a way to satisfy the Cavaliers after experiencing injuries last season, they gained very good bench players such as veteran Jefferson this season, and suddenly enriched their bench bench, under the leadership of George Hill, the bench played much better than the headless flies on the Lakers' side.

At the end of the first quarter, under the leadership of George Hill, the Cavaliers easily narrowed the Lakers' lead by 7 points to 1 point, and at the beginning of the second quarter, if Nick Young hadn't suddenly hit two three-pointers in a row, then the Lakers might not have been able to wait for Ye Xuan to play and would be in a backward position, and Lao Ke and Ye Xuan off the court were naturally a little anxious, so when the game was two minutes into the second quarter, they immediately took the initiative to apply to play.

The two were replaced together, and the Lakers' miscellaneous fish suddenly found the direction of the offense and began to attack, but the Cavaliers seemed to be a little wrong, Tyronn Lue did not replace all the Big Three, but simply let Lao Zhan and Irving play, and pressed Love, the third big man who is most likely to become a big killer when facing the Lakers, on the bench.

In fact, it's not that Tyronn Lue is dying, but because Lefu seems to be unwell, so he didn't replace him, after all, this is just a regular season, their goal this season is the championship, of course, they can't because of a regular season win or loss that their main players are injured again, so they simply don't let Lefu continue to play in this game, and then go to the hospital for a careful examination before making plans.

After the substitutions, the game resumed, at which point the Lakers still led their opponents by one point, and the ball was in the hands of the Lakers. After Ye Xuan received the sideline serve, he slowly controlled the basketball and came to the front court, this time he did not choose to pass, but directly chose to break through, although George Hill's defense is not bad, but it is still a little difficult for him to defend Ye Xuan alone, after an acceleration after a change of direction to throw Hill away, he easily hit the ball with a throw, which is considered to stabilize the position for the Lakers.

The Cavaliers don't know if it's because of the news that Lefu may be injured, so James, who played extraordinarily involved in the first quarter of the game, didn't seem to be in a very good state in this quarter, in the face of Clarkson's defense in this offense, he forced a breakthrough, but when he was forced to pass the ball in the face of the bag, he seemed a little careless, Ye Xuan seized the opportunity to break the ball again, and then launched a fast attack, this time the fast break was also very smooth, the only one who could chase and defend was Owen, but Owen's speed was enough, But his physical fitness is still a little worse, plus the Lakers have a small lineup, and when they are about to go, they are three to two in the front court, so Irving and Jefferson can't prevent this counterattack at all, and in the end they can only watch Ye Xuan and Yang Shaoxia perform an aerial relay.

This time the offense Lao Ke did not go to the root, because he still trusts Ye Xuan's handling of this kind of fast attack, although he was very annoyed by the year he was under D'Antoni, and he played very troubled compared to that year, but this does not prevent him from understanding D'Antoni's tactics, and Ye Xuan is actually a admirer of similar tactics, so Ye Xuan can always handle it very well when he is fast attacking and counterattacking, and because Ye Xuan appears in the position of point guard, So even the offensive rhythm of the team was carried in that direction.

After completing this offense, the Lakers' lead expanded to 5 points again, and the offensive core of the Cavaliers gradually shifted from the absent-minded Lao Zhan to the Irving who wanted to prove himself, in fact, in the past year or so, Irving was still quite unconvinced, he felt that his ball skills were already very good, but he could still only live in the shadow of Lao Zhan, which was very unfair, so he wanted to prove himself and prove that he was the most important one in the Cavaliers. And not the guy who abandoned the team for four years and then came back.

But his offense was not able to break through the Lakers' defense, the Lakers' backline was originally relatively strong, and he kept trying to break through the defense line composed of Lao Ke Ye Xuan and Clarkson by holding the ball alone, the result was naturally a head and bloodstream, after a few rounds, not only was it not able to help the team narrow the point difference, but because of continuous reluctant shots and mistakes, Ye Xuan seized the opportunity to take the Lakers to play an 8:2 small high dynasty, In one fell swoop, the difference was expanded to 11 points, and at this time, Ye Xuan's data had come to 19 points, plus 8 assists and 4 rebounds, it seemed that it was another game with a good chance of getting a triple-double, and Coach Lu was obviously very cooperative, and directly replaced George Hill again and replaced him with Dellavedova, wanting to use Della to defend Ye Xuan.

Dellavedova's defense is still worthy of recognition, he successfully curbed the offensive momentum of the Lakers, but also changed direction to give Ye Xuan the opportunity to brush up the data, the stalemate stage on both sides, Ye Xuan also seized the opportunity to play with the rebound crazily, although there were two leaks in the middle because of the early contraction into the inside, and the opponent shot an empty three-pointer, but overall, the Lakers still maintain an advantage.

Lao Zhan was absent-minded, Irving has been acting rashly, Love was injured and couldn't play, George Hill was replaced to rest, and the entire Cavaliers became a group of headless flies, although their strength was stronger than that of the Lakers, but they were not running tactics, they all relied on personal ability to create scoring opportunities, and the result was naturally pressed by the Lakers team who cooperated very well, and although Dellavedova made Ye Xuan unable to exert his greatest power on the offensive end in this game, But it also allowed Lao Ke to get a lot of offensive opportunities, scoring another 13 points in a single quarter, expanding his halftime score to 30 points in one fell swoop.

At halftime, the Lakers actually led the Cavaliers, the second in the East, by as many as 12 points, and the 38-year-old Lao Ke slashed 30 points at halftime, Ye Xuan 21 points, 9 assists and 7 rebounds at halftime, and the two data supermen are expected to continue their magical performance in the second half, so the media who feel that there is big news are also rushing to Staples Arena.

At halftime, Ye Xuan found that the atmosphere of the team today was obviously much better than the previous two days, after winning the last game against the Magic team, although they were the winner, but the momentum they showed was not strong enough at all, and it felt that most of the teammates did not care too much about winning or losing. However, the fact that this game was able to lead the Cavaliers, who are fourth in the league and second in the East, by so many points at halftime, and also had a chance to win the game, which made this group of teammates who didn't care much about winning or losing still couldn't help but get excited.

Unlike the heated atmosphere in the Lakers' locker room, the atmosphere on the Cavaliers' side was simply suffocating, and they received the bad news that Love was out for about two weeks due to a back muscle strain, and there was even worse news. There's also a chance that their anchor LeBron James will need to be out for a few games. In the second quarter of the first half, James's poor state was not only because he was worried about the injury of his teammates, but he himself had a cold, although he looked very brave in the first quarter, but after the momentum passed, the whole person was weak, so it is estimated that Lao Zhan will not be able to play in the second half, and if the cold symptoms worsen, then Lao Zhan is likely to be absent in the next few games. After all, it is a communicable disease, so the team generally does not allow players with the flu to participate in games and training.

Losing two big players in a row, the Cavaliers' situation is suddenly a little worse, although they have now got the ticket to the playoffs, so even if they lose all the next games, they won't be unable to enter the playoffs or anything, but a good ranking is also very important for them, if they have to go head-to-head with the Pacers in the Eastern Conference semifinals, then they will spend a lot of energy to advance to the Finals, Even if they are eliminated by the Pacers, who are now firmly in the first place in the East, in the Eastern Conference semifinals, then whether the Cavaliers can keep James next season will also be a question.

Since this is Los Angeles and Staples Arena, the news of the Lakers is still quite well-informed, and before the second half of the game started, they knew the news that James and Love could not continue to play in this game, which made them very happy, because it meant that the victory in this game would come easier, and after Ye Xuan heard the news, he was also happy at first, and then took out his mobile phone and sent a message of condolences to Lao Zhan.

The second half of the game is even simpler, when there is no Lao Zhan and Lefou, the Cavaliers' combat effectiveness instantly dropped by two notches, and it is similar to the Cavaliers in the 13-14 season, basically relying entirely on Irving and George Hill to drive the team's offense - the current George Hill is playing the role of Dion Waiters back then, and this combination finally ranked eleventh in the East that year, so you can imagine how low the combat effectiveness of the current Cavaliers is, Although the substitutes they recruited this season are still relatively powerful, but after the lack of Lao Zhan's strong point, they can't find the direction to play.

In the end, under the Lakers' wave after wave of offense, they reluctantly chose to surrender. It is very similar to the last game with the Warriors, they all played very well at the beginning, so that the fans immediately entered the state, but the subsequent game process seemed a little boring, although the result of this game was that the Lakers finally won, but the audience who were whetted by the various offenses at the beginning obviously still felt that something was missing, plus because the Cavaliers did not resist for long in the second half, they were completely defeated by the Lakers, so Lao Ko's score did not rise much, On the contrary, Ye Xuan's third triple-double in his career came quietly, thanks to Tristan Thompson, shortly after the start of the third quarter, he actually let Ye Xuan, a guard, grab the frontcourt rebound on the inside, and then shoot himself again after the inside attack missed, and brushed two rebounds in one round, otherwise Ye Xuan would not have had the opportunity to brush the rebounds to 10.

At the end of the game, the Lakers finally defeated the visiting Cavaliers at Staples Arena, Ye Xuan's comeback in 4 games, they won three games, and in these four games, in addition to the Magic, the other three teams are all powerful teams with heads and faces, and the Lakers actually defeated the Cavaliers who are second in the East and the Hawks who are fifth in the East, which is also unexpected.

For the Lakers, they also gained a lot in this game, first of all, Lao Ke scored 40 points for the first time this season, yes, Lao Ke scored 11 points again in the third quarter of the game, and scored 41 points in only 29 minutes of the whole game, and the number of shots was not particularly much, 'only' 23 times. Secondly, their new core Ye Xuan also showed his all-around ability to the audience in this game, and his third triple-double this season proved to everyone that he can successfully succeed Kobe.

For the Cavaliers, this game is simply their nightmare, first of all, their All-Star power forward Love has to be out of action for 14-21 days due to a back muscle strain, which is basically to wait until the end of the month to be able to return, which makes the Cavaliers' regular season record potentially affected. Of course, this is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that their absolute core LeBron James was actually attacked by a cold, and James, who is suffering from the flu, is estimated to have no way to play in the next few games, and the specific truce time still depends on when his flu will be better. In a regular season, he still faced the deputy squad leader of the league and lost two generals at once, which was really enough to make the Cavaliers depressed for a while.

And in fact, it is a bit unreliable to say that the Lakers are the vice president of the league, because after this wave of four games and three wins, the Lakers' record has quietly improved to 15 wins, which is the same as the penultimate Nets in the East, which means that it is now tied for the second-to-last, or tied for the third-to-last, and the Lakers' next games are very relaxed, such as the fourteenth against the rebuilding Knicksla, or the sixteenth king, the nineteenth Sun, are all teams that are rebuilding, which is not a big problem for the Lakers team with Ye Xuan and Lao Ko to win.
