Chapter 441: Who is the True Giant

In today's game, Owen still did not play. He was suspended from the 23rd of last month due to injury www.biquge.info and there is still no momentum to comeback, which makes today's game less interesting, after all, Irving is a fan of Kobe Bryant and fans all over the world know, so the battle between the two is naturally very interesting. However, in today's game, it is obvious that I can't see the scene of two people playing against each other, which is the only regret.

During Irving's absence, the Cavaliers have been using Shambaught and Ray Allen as backcourt, and in today's game, facing the Lakers, Tyronn Lue made a change of lineup for the first time, he chose to start DeLong and moved Shambaught to the bench.

Of course, in today's focus battle, Deron was not able to attract the spotlight, everything revolved around the matchup between James and Kobe. And on the inside, everyone is also looking forward to whether the Cavaliers' inside line can withstand the destruction of the Twin Towers. You must know that so far in the new season, Whiteside and Noll have averaged 17.2 points and 18.5 points per game respectively, which shows the strength of the Lakers' interior line. Of course, there is also the ability to protect rebounds and defend the penalty area.

"LeBron is furious with revenge, and I believe that losing to Kobe Bryant in the Finals for two years in a row is an intolerable result for him, and the outside world doubts him a lot because of this. So in today's game, LeBron will undoubtedly go all out. I just don't know what kind of individual performance he will be able to play against a bunch of young and promising rising stars. ”

Anger doesn't mean you can beat the Lakers and win your opponents. In today's Lakers, Antetokounmpo and Noll on the front line are a great test for James, and whether they can withstand the defense of these two people is a very critical point. Because Irving is not there, so if the Cavaliers want to win today, James' performance is undoubtedly the most critical.

When the game came to the start time, the two sides had a friendly meeting, and then under the organization and signal of the referee on duty, the game entered the countdown.

The starting lineup sent by Chu Xuan is Kobe, LaVine, Antetokounmpo, Noll and Whiteside.

The two sides played the jump ball, Whiteside vs. Thompson, and there was no doubt that the Lakers got the offensive ball and the game officially began.

The first offense was organized by Antetokounmpo, and then Bryant held the ball in the low post, singled Ray Allen, and then easily turned over and made a jumper to open up the game. Then the Cavaliers also colored, James assisted on a hook shot under the basket of Love.

After each side scored their first goals, the game went on at a normal pace. The Lakers' offense is more balanced, with both inside and outside attacking, and the surrounding points are Antetokounmpo at the No. 3 position and Kobe Bryant and LaVine on the outside. As for the Cavaliers, James' desire to attack is not strong enough, and he is always not resolute enough offensively, he is more about passing, and then letting Love and others attack more. Both sides have players who are not in good form and the attacking efficiency is on the same level. Soon, after the first quarter of the game, relying on Antetokounmpo's final buzzer-beating jumper, the Lakers temporarily led the Cavaliers 27-26.

Tonight, Chu Xuan used Antetokounmpo to defend James for the most time, and the results were quite satisfactory. Antetokounmpo not only defended James, but also played with a good eye and a good look on the offensive end. In the first quarter alone, Antetokounmpo scored 10 points. James, on the other hand, didn't score in the entire first quarter, only 2 rebounds and 2 assists, which is not at all a superstar's performance.

"What happened to LeBron? Could it be that he has a fear of the Lakers? Compared with the previous game, he is completely like two people, not attacking, and in a trance, which is really incomprehensible. Maybe the two-year loss really has an indelible shadow on James, I hope he will adjust quickly, otherwise, the Cavaliers are definitely dangerous. After all, no other player can keep up the good performance all the time, and once the Cavaliers have no one to score consistently, then the Lakers will undoubtedly have a chance to take the lead. ”

Spectators and the media are wondering about James' state today, and everyone agrees that it is his psychological problems, mainly because no one believes that Antetokounmpo can prevent James. After all, James is still the best player in the league, and no one can prevent him except for restrictions.

In the first few goals of the second quarter, Antetokounmpo scored consecutive points and continued to maintain a strong streak.

And the fans at the quick loan center couldn't sit still, and when James held the ball, the audience chanted MVP.

It seems that the fans are stimulating James's heart, hoping that he can be inspired to come forward. You know, MVP means being the best player, and now that Antetokounmpo is scoring on the head of their best player, then MVP will undoubtedly have to respond.

Under the call of the fans in the stadium, James's expression changed a little, and he realized that he had to stand up and play a wave, otherwise, the outside public opinion would definitely be able to hack him to death. But in the face of Antetokounmpo, James still felt very tricky.

James is notoriously afraid of tall insiders. And in the same way, if there is a big and tall striker with a strong body and slender limbs to defend him, he will also face a lot of difficulties. Antetokounmpo, who is flexible, confrontational and seven feet tall, is the type of headache for James. With terrifying reach, sheer height, nimble reflexes, and growing strength, Antetokounmpo is definitely one of the best defenders in the league these days.

In terms of individual performance this season, Antetokounmpo, as a defensive leader and playmaker on the front line, can average 14.2 points, 6.3 rebounds, 5.8 assists, 2.0 steals and 1.9 blocks per game, he is one of the most well-rounded players, with amazing defensive efficiency, and is considered one of the strong contenders for the best defensive player this season. Considering the Lakers' record this season, Antetokounmpo is likely to be voted the best defensive player.

Such a comprehensive performance has also made Antetokounmpo attract the attention and love of fans all over the world, and his fans are increasing, which can be intuitively reflected from the all-star vote. Antetokounmpo retains the No. 5 spot in the Western Conference frontcourt draft, which gives him a big chance of being named an All-Star for the first time this season.

At this time, facing James, the best player in the league, is really an opportunity for Antetokounmpo. Whether he can get more fan support, his individual performance in this game is extremely crucial.

LeBron attacked by himself, continuous shaking, with the help of Kevin Love's blocking, against Antetokounmpo's defense into the interior, shot, and the layup did not score! LeBron hit the ball a little reluctantly, and Antetokounmpo's long arms and height interfered with him a lot. ”

The breakthrough was missed, and the quick loan center also sounded a voice of regret. It seems that the fans are a little disappointed, James is so difficult to play a third-year player alone? This is really disappointing, is this the so-called real giant?

James broke through and missed, the rebound was grabbed by Noll, and then the Lakers launched a counterattack, and Kobe Bryant hit a mid-range jumper to continue to extend the Lakers' lead.

Looking back, the fans continued to cheer James on and let him continue to attack.

And I have to say that James' self-confidence has indeed swelled in this period of time, perhaps he was stimulated by Antetokounmpo.

However, once again singled Antetokounmpo, James stepped back and turned over for a jumper, but still missed the shot.

The basketball popped out of the frame, Knoll collected the rebound again, Kobe and LaVine completed the fast-break cooperation, and finally LaVine easily scored the ball with a two-arm windmill.

"LeBron's hand is so bad that it looks like he's going to need to adjust a bit. Now someone has to step up and score for the Cavaliers, share the burden for James, and it's definitely going to be hard for him to face the Lakers alone. ”

James couldn't score, everyone thought it was a bad hand, and not too many people hacked him. And then more of a voice focused on the rest of the Cavaliers, who felt that someone needed to step up and score.

There is no doubt that the so-called some people, of course, refer to Love and Delon, after all, he is the most offensive player on the Cavaliers other than James.

"It is said that Kevin is a pseudo-giant, and I think this is his chance to make a name for himself. I just don't know if he can grasp it......"

James was on the ball and this time he didn't attack again. This was expected by all, as James is a very sane player who doesn't go paranoid and reluctantly attack...... Or this is considered by some to be a protective hit, but equally considered altruistic by many.

James's selflessness worked on the first shot, and Love received James's ball in the bottom corner, and his hand went up and down, and the three points were in hand.

This goal sparked cheers from the fans at the Quick Loan Center, and the fans were excited, and they suddenly realized that they could not only count on James, they also had Kevin Love......

At this moment, Lefu was happy, and he walked into the field of vision of fans.

Then, the Cavaliers' offense began to revolve around Love, with Deron passing the ball to Love and James being responsible for attracting the bag from beyond the three-point line...... I have to say that Lefu ate a dumpling today, and his shooting feel is very good, whether it is pulling out to shoot, or attacking on the inside, the basketball is like having eyes and drilling into the basket.

In the entire second quarter of the game, Love scored 14 points on 5-of-7 shooting, and with four points in the first quarter, he scored 18 points in the first half.

There was no doubt that Lefu played a game-turning performance, no one was nagging him for not being good enough, and even at the end of the half, someone shouted MVP for him.

"I'm the real giant!"

Lefu looked excited, his eyes were full of pride, and he looked at the sky above the quick loan center with a gesture and a chic angle that he thought he was handsome.

He felt that everyone must be looking at him, and there was only one word to describe him at this time, and that was, cool! (To be continued.) )
