Chapter 352: Double Kill Knight!
David Blatter's face was extremely ugly, this game, the Cavaliers have almost gone to the momentum. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 As a manager, he couldn't accept losing so many points in such a big battle. You know, if the Cavaliers and Lakers fight to the end and regret losing, then it is still acceptable. However, losing by 28 points in the third quarter was a completely maddening result.
On the Cavaliers' side, it was lifeless, and there was no smile on everyone's faces. James, in particular, was even more gloomy as water. James' reaction is understandable, after all, he made a bold statement before the game, claiming that the Cavaliers are definitely capable of beating the Lakers. As a result, they were beaten by the fully healthy Lakers and had no power to fight back. This result is like a great mockery, making James's face difficult to hold on, without any face to speak of.
However, James is absolutely responsible for today's loss, and his poor performance has too much impact on the game. Of course, not only James, but the entire Cavaliers except for Loew, the performance of everyone else can only be described as bad.
"LeBron, are you unwilling?" Blatter's face was solemn, sometimes he really wanted to criticize James, but the opponent's status in the team made him not dare to do it easily, "There are 12 minutes left in the game, and we haven't given up yet." As the saying goes, there's a miracle where there's a lot of people, LeBron, you're the best player in the league, and you need to keep leading your players forward at this time. ”
Whether James was listening or not, Blatter said slowly, expecting the Cavaliers to pick themselves up. Moreover, he also hopes that this game can teach these players a good lesson and make them understand that the Cavaliers are not invincible, and it is not so easy to win the championship.
"In the last 12 minutes, I have the only thing I ask of you, to be in the best shape and play to the end of the game. I don't want the opponent to feel like we're cowardly, sometimes it's tenacity that makes it respectful. And tenacity is also a necessary trait for a good team! ”
……
The Staples Center is filled with a convivial atmosphere.
Not surprisingly, victory was assured.
As fans, everyone is happy with the home team's performance, and the Lakers players who perform well are naturally more popular with them.
Amid cheers, the game resumed.
Chu Xuan still put the main force of the Lakers on the court, and he will not relax his mentality, after all, the game is far from over. And as he expected, the Cavaliers didn't give up, and James continued to play with his starters.
"Shhhh
Suddenly, there was a frantic boo from the scene.
Chu Xuan looked up in surprise, and it turned out that James' performance today was being displayed on the big screen, with 10 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists. That's not what the best players in the league should be.
And Lakers fans don't like James in the first place, and now that James is playing so badly under the Lakers' tight and targeted defense, the fans at home will naturally not give up the opportunity to taunt James. Under the huge boos, Chu Xuan obviously found that James's face was even more ugly.
These guys are really falling into the ground. Chu Xuan couldn't help but shake his head and smile, expressing his helplessness at what Lakers fans did against James.
But the boos didn't last and were replaced by loud cheers.
It turned out that Kobe's personal performance appeared on the big screen, with 20 points, 6 boards, 10 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks, which was in stark contrast to James's badness.
In this game, Kobe's state was absolutely amazing, and he directly took Irving down with his height and experience. Whether on the offensive end or otherwise, Kobe Bryant was very comfortable with Irving and played extremely well.
Under the completely different treatment, James naturally did not have any good spirits.
However, he had no reason to refute it, because his performance was really terrible.
James felt that his data was so dazzling at the moment, and his heart was full of endless desire to express and win, and he didn't want such a result.
"Come on, come on! It's not the end yet. ”
Perhaps sensing the dull mood of his teammates, James squeezed out a smile on his face and kept clapping his slap to boost morale.
James's encouragement naturally had an effect, and the morale of the Cavaliers increased significantly.
"Kyrie, feed me as much as you can."
James said a word to Irving, and then went to prepare for the game.
In this game, both Irving and James' shooting efficiency is very low.
James didn't dare to shoot, and sometimes he did shoot, but he was also timid, and the hit rate was naturally not guaranteed. Irving, on the other hand, is facing too much defensive pressure, and he who likes to play alone will naturally not have too high offensive efficiency in the face of the Lakers' outstanding defense.
……
The perked James did put it into action, scoring two goals in a row and telling his teammates that the game would continue.
However, on the Lakers' side, after James' goal, LaVine and Knoll responded separately, which made the difference between the two sides not narrow.
The pressure is still on James, because if he can't defend effectively, then the fate of losing is still irreversible.
Immediately afterward, the Cavaliers' defensive intensity was indeed much greater.
After that, the Lakers didn't score for two minutes straight. On the other hand, the Cavaliers scored 5 points and narrowed the gap to 23 points.
However, the game has come to this point, and the score difference is so huge, and such scoring efficiency is undoubtedly a drop in the bucket.
The Cavaliers then made a change and fired again from beyond the three-point line, pinning their hopes on three-pointers.
Subsequently, Ray Allen received a breakthrough from James and hit a three-pointer, and the gap was narrowed again. It was Ray Allen's first three-pointer of the game and his first goal of the game. It can be said that Ray Allen is almost locked in this game. And now that he has suddenly found his touch, it has given the Cavaliers a burst of hope.
However, Bryant immediately responded, and in the face of James's misplaced defense, Bryant hit a three-pointer from beyond the three-point line to refresh his personal score to 23 points.
The three-point rain that the Cavaliers were hoping for didn't come down, but instead the Lakers kept having people score from beyond the three-point line.
With six minutes left in the game, Knoll hit a three-pointer to bring the deficit back to 28 points, making the game completely out of suspense.
The two sides replaced the bench, and garbage time passed quickly, and the Lakers defeated the Cavaliers 119-91, and this season's double championship favorite.
Post-match press conference.
James didn't show up, perhaps because he was embarrassed by the result of losing and losing.
And Kyrie Irving praised Kobe Bryant, who won the best player with 23 points and 12 assists, in an interview: "He's my favorite player, and I've been imitating him since I was a kid. He was very efficient with his shooting today, and his back skills and passing vision were amazing. When I go back, I will take a good look at the video of the game, summarize it, and try to find better inspiration to improve myself and try to improve myself. ”
Irving was blown up in this match against Kobe, but he didn't seem to feel any embarrassment, but instead felt excited to be able to play against his idol.
The two losses to the Lakers put David Blatter, as the head coach, on the cusp, and in an interview with reporters, Blatter made it clear that the Cavaliers still need a lot of improvement: "We were not flexible enough tonight, and the offense and defense were terrible. In BIG3, both LeBron and Kyrie's offense became the focus of the opponent's defense, and we didn't have a quick strategy to deal with it, which made them struggle on the offensive end. Kevin was in great shape today and I think I need to think about it and get our big man back into the offensive position he feels comfortable in. ”
In this game, James made only 5 of 21 shots, including 7 three-point shots, and none of them hit any of them. Irving, on the other hand, hit seven of his 19 shots. On the contrary, it was Loew who scored 13 points and 13 rebounds in the face of the Lakers' outstanding interior line. However, Loew only made nine shots in the entire game.
It is worth mentioning that Ray Allen only scored 3 points, and the Cavaliers made 4 of 26 three-pointers and lost 13 rebounds.
On the other hand, the Lakers started five Tigers: Kobe Bryant 23 points and 12 assists, LaVine 23 points, Noll 23 points, Gasol 18 points, Whiteside 8 points and 18 boards. This performance perfectly shows the outstanding teamwork of the Lakers. (To be continued.) )
