Chapter 31: Winning Rebounds

The decisive fourth quarter has finally arrived! Substitutes from both sides took the lead to earn more valuable rest time for the main players. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

After the Cavaliers confirmed the starting lineup, they also paid special attention to the second lineup, and at the beginning of the fourth quarter, Scott sent a lineup of Ryan Hollins, JJ Hickson, Alonzo Key, Daniel Gibson, and Ramon Sessions.

This lineup mainly relies on the height of Hollins, Hickson's inside strong shooting and rebounding, Kei's open shot, Gibson's outside three-pointers, and Sessions' breakouts and assists, and everyone's responsibilities are very clear.

The Raptors' bench lineup is also good, with the backcourt bench combination of Leandro Barbosa and Jerry Bayless, but the interior lacks a substitute center, although the frontcourt also has Amir Johnson and Ed Davis, but both of them are big forwards, lack the absolute height of the interior, and the interior competition will suffer a lot, and the functions of the two overlap a little, and there is no way to play the effect of 1+1=2 like Hollins and Hickson of the Cavaliers.

After Yuan Shu's wonderful frontcourt rebound performance in the third quarter, Hickson, who came on the court in the fourth quarter, also showed a very active and positive performance, continuously causing fouls and grabbing rebounds by the opponent's interior players on the inside, but unfortunately Hickson's free throws only hit 60%, otherwise the Cavaliers could start to widen the score gap in the fourth quarter.

Not only Hickson, but several players who played in the fourth quarter also performed well, and after a summer of intensive training, all the players can't wait to show their progress this summer!

Gibson was on fire, hitting two three-pointers in a row to add two assists to Sessions.

Four minutes into the fourth quarter, the Cavaliers led the Raptors by eight points, 85-77! As the Cavaliers' timeout ended, the two sides once again offered their starters.

The time for the real decisive battle came, and with the excellent performance of the bench players, the Cavaliers' starters were even more energetic, and there was no slack on the court.

Entangled with Yuan Shu again, Evans is a lot more honest, even if Yuan Shu keeps using "small samples" to interfere, he is still unmoved!

Without trash talk, Evans got the Raptors' first frontcourt rebound in the fourth quarter, and the basket was about to make up for the basket, Yuan Shu jumped directly and fanned Evans' basket shot out of the restricted area with one palm!

"See! See! Fly Fight has reappeared! Williams exclaimed excitedly.

And get the ball covered by Yuan Shu, Jamison has quickly launched a counterattack, Evans, who was blocked, immediately actively and quickly returned to defense, just came to the basket, I saw Jamison throw the ball into the air, felt a black shadow behind him, when Evans turned around, Yuan Shu had already plugged in from the back row, received Jamison's pass in the air, and scored with both hands empty!

The "Slam Dunk" attribute has come into play! Yuan Shu raised his feet high after scoring the goal, and then slammed the basket with both hands before getting off the basket, and this block followed by Jamison's empty catch further boosted the morale of the Cavaliers!

For the first time in this game, the difference between the two teams was stretched to double digits!

As the score difference widened, the pressure on Yuan Shu's body was also reduced a lot, because with the fight with Evans, the consumption of his physical strength had become more and more serious, and he took the time to take a look at the attribute panel, and the value of the physical strength column was only 10 points! Yuan Shu now begins to pray that this ball must be scored every time his teammates shoot, because in the current situation, he undoubtedly has no advantage in competing with Evans for rebounds.

But in fact, Evans's situation is not much better than Yuan Shu's, after the second quarter of the "Furious Magnesium Powder" competition with Yuan Shu and the third quarter of the "small sample" mental attack method, Evans's physical strength and endurance are also coming to an end! Evans, who averaged less than 18 minutes per game in the first nine years of his career, has played more than 36 minutes in the opening game, twice as many as before!

As the game progressed, the difference between the two teams began to close, because almost all the rebounding scramble in the second half of the fourth quarter was won by Evans! With only 15 seconds left in the game, the Cavaliers still had a two-point lead over the Raptors! But the offensive ball is here with the Raptors!

In the final moments of the game, the enthusiastic fans of the Raptors were already up from their seats and began shaking their arms, waving their fists and shouting to cheer on the home team.

DeRozan holds the ball in front of Parker's defense, and it looks like the Raptors' final offense is going to be executed by him!

After changing direction back and forth in front of Parker and getting space to shoot, DeRozan made a decisive shot! If it hits, the Raptors will equalize, but under Parker's desperate defense, DeRozan's shot is slightly off and slides out of the basket!

"Rebounding!" After DeRozan shot the iron, almost everyone in the arena shouted!

"Fight! Now is the time! Yuan Shu's face instantly turned red, and with a roar of anger, Evans, who went all out to compete for the rebound that decided the outcome of the game, was firmly stuck behind him, no matter how hard Evans tried, Yuan Shu was motionless!

Crazy Death Guard (LV1)! Yuan Shu actually practiced this skill to level 1 in just 5 days!

"Ah~~~" After Yuan Shu used "Crazy Defense" to get Evans stuck behind him, he used the remaining 10 points of energy to use the "Thunder Beast Rebound", and firmly controlled this valuable rebounding ball in his own hands!

After being completely blown up by Evans in the second half of the fourth quarter, Yuan Shu, who silently endured everything, finally waited for the opportunity he had been waiting for, and used 30 energy points on the most critical blade!

The Raptors players didn't even have time to foul, the referee blew the whistle, and the game was over! The Cleveland Cavaliers defeated the Toronto Raptors 101-99 to get the new season off to a good start!

Yuan Shu, who grabbed the last precious rebound, was lying on the floor with the ball in his arms, almost collapsed from exhaustion!

TMD, so tired! Yuan Shu couldn't help but sigh. No way, who told Yuan Shu to meet a rebounding master who is also a power faction!

"Yuan, well done!" "Well done!" "Man, you're awesome!" The excited Cavaliers players immediately pressed Yuan Shu, the hero who guaranteed the team's victory, under him at the end of the game, in the way of stacking arhats!

"Holy, hurry... Cheer me up! It's going to be crushed!! ”

The new season beat the Raptors away to get off to a good start, this result made the new Cavaliers coach Scott very satisfied, although the game process was a little twists and turns, and the final moments were also a little thrilling, but the result of the game was finally good! Scott, who had been sitting on the crater, finally breathed a long sigh of relief.

As soon as the game was over, the disappointed Raptors players immediately left the court and returned to the locker room, not wanting to see their opponents celebrating on their own turf. But Evans didn't leave immediately, he looked at Yuan Shu, who was crushed by his teammates and howled, and couldn't help but nod silently.

"This kid is going to make a name for himself!" Evans's mind couldn't help but think of the scene of Yuan Shu competing for the last rebound, the strength, speed, and timing are all impeccable, this is the judgment of a rebounding master for Yuan Shu!

Evans, who was the last to return to the locker room, was still thinking as he walked, what the hell does "Xiao Yang" mean?!
