Chapter 411: James' Redemption
Zach LaVine fouled Ray Allen, and his foul count has accumulated to six, and he became the second Lakers player to be fouled. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
"Something seems to be wrong. The Lakers' main team has already been fouled by two. Zach and Norris are the team's main scorers, and now that they are sent off, the Lakers' offense will definitely have a big problem. ”
"The Cleveland Cavaliers have a chance to launch a counterattack, and it seems that the Lakers can play the same defense as in the first half, and there is a big foul hazard. They have too many fouls, and they don't play very well. ”
"The Lakers are in trouble, Giannis Antetokounmpo and Hassan Whiteside are not good scorers. If the Cavaliers can play a wave of counter-attacks, then there is definitely a chance. ”
……
With LaVine being sent off again, the game came to a fork in the road, and many people felt that the Lakers would encounter a crisis, but Chu Xuan didn't have any worries.
There are so many players at his disposal that even without LaVine and Knoll, he will still be able to arrange an offensive lineup that is no weaker than his previous one in the next game. Of course, the most important thing is to defend, and only by defending well can they be able to save the victory.
Knoll played 24 minutes and 55 seconds, and LaVine was no better, as he was on the court for 24 minutes and 32 seconds, a little shorter than Knoll. However, LaVine's performance is remarkable, at least his three-point defense against Ray Allen has been very effective.
In 24 minutes of playing time, LaVine hit 5 of 11 shots, including 3-of-7 three-pointers, and scored 13 points, 3 rebounds, 2 steals and 2 blocks.
At this time, the big screen also showed the average performance of Knoll and LaVine in the playoffs this season, and discussed their possibility of winning MVP based on their performance in the finals.
LaVine averaged 19.4 points, 5.2 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.3 blocks per game in the playoffs, shooting 45.8% from the field and 34.6% from three-point range......
Noll averaged 16.6 points, 10.2 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 1.6 steals and 1.9 blocks per game in the playoffs, shooting 48.1% from the field and 77.5% from the free throw line.
Judging by the performance, both are star-level.
It's just that Kobe Bryant's performance in the first three games of the Finals is significantly better than LaVine and Knoll, so there is still a lot of suspense about who can win the MVP of the Finals in the end.
"Zach, your season is over today. Now as a hero, you can take a good break from the field. Chu Xuan smiled, as if LaVine's departure did not allow him to change his relaxed mentality: "With an average of 20 points per game in the playoffs, you have completed your transformation into a star player, and in the next season, I hope to see you explode in a season, come on, I always think that you will become the top one in the league in the scoring guard position." ”
LaVine smiled: "Chu, you say so, what about Kobe?" ”
Chu Xuan laughed: "Kobe Bryant is already an old guy, the future is the world of you young people, and he can't always occupy that position." ”
Judging by the technical characteristics that LaVine has mastered today, he can indeed become a top scoring guard or swing man. His three-point shooting is his forte, and he's getting more physically fit. On this basis, LaVine also continued to learn from Kobe Bryant, mastering back-to-back techniques and many game skills. That's why LaVine has been able to get better and better in the playoffs.
Chu Xuan is not without wind and waves, and casually said that in his heart, Laven and Noll will be the second OK combination. Of course, if you add in Whiteside and Antetokounmpo, who are constantly cashing in on their talents, the future Lakers will have the top four young stars, if there is one more guard......
**************
With LaVine off the court, the Cavaliers' strategy has clearly changed.
James started to hit the inside more and he didn't feel good, so he had to do that. And defensively, the Cavaliers' defensive focus is on Kobe, because judging from past games, Kobe's organizational tandem has played too big a role.
"LeBron scored a layup, and the Cavaliers narrowed the score to less than 20 points."
With the help of the split moment, James seized the opportunity to successfully break through to the inside, and then he was not afraid of Gasol and Whiteside at the same time, and without hesitation, he completed the layup against the defense of the two.
Although I have become accustomed to it, I saw it again at this time, and everyone was still amazed by James's strong confrontation ability, and he was able to successfully open two inside picks, which is completely inhuman.
The explosive display of power and strong performance gave the fans of the quick loan center a little comfort in their hearts. They seem to see the LeBron James of the year, and that kind of strength gives them hope.
Coming back, it's the Lakers' turn to attack.
The Cavaliers' defense is also very strong, and judging from this quarter, the probability of the Lakers' offense is very small. The opposing team's defense is mainly based on defensive transitions and strings, which can undermine the integrity of the Lakers. The results of this approach are not small, after all, the Cavaliers are the best players in the league other than the Lakers. They have a lot of talent and quality and when they're willing to defend, they can do really well.
James is strong, but his agility and defensive skills are definitely not inferior to any outside player.
Kobe Bryant is also very careful in the face of James, and he attaches great importance to every confrontation with James.
"Kobe Bryant's beautiful change of direction and successfully entered the inside line! Is he going to make a layup? Wow, Kobe Bryant's behind-the-back pass, Hassan Whiteside received the ball and dunked, a beautiful fit. Kobe Bryant's 7th assist, is he expected to get a triple-double this time? ”
The triple-doubles in the finals are all exciting to think about.
From the current point of view, Kobe Bryant has scored 15 points, 6 rebounds and 7 assists, and there is still hope for a triple-double.
James finally felt the pressure, and although the Cavaliers played a beautiful defensive quarter, the situation was still not optimistic. Although he defended others, Kobe Bryant was still not easy to defend. This Lakers team is so strong that it makes James feel like he's facing a big mountain, and that feeling is even stronger than the Spurs that made him feel terrible before.
However, no matter how difficult it was, James had no way out.
He must continue to fight for the final redemption.
"LeBron, back-to-back single Kobe Bryant, beautiful turn, cut to the basket, wipe the board and make a layup!"
"Antetokounmpo broke through and missed, Kobe rushed to grab the offensive rebound and hit the rebound!"
……
The game was very intense, the two sides played like glue, and the highlights caused by James and Kobe Bryant's stepping up were still very, very big. Soon, the third quarter passed, and the Cavaliers played 22:15 in a single quarter, chasing the score to 49:71, and the difference was still 22 points. (To be continued.) )
