The Lakers were ready to abuse the Cavaliers when James was away, because Irving led the team alone, the Lakers were never afraid, and every time Irving met the Lakers, he played badly, which was something that everyone was used to.

But unexpectedly, after David Blatter called two timeouts in a row, Owen inexplicably began to rampage.

And Owen is not the kind of rampage that scores by himself, relying on his personal scoring ability alone, even if Owen rams, Liu Ren can press him on the bed and rub him in a normal state.

But this time, Irving integrated with a group of high-quality role players in the team when he played the Lakers for the first time, especially after Love was replaced, the two were like fish in water, and the cooperation was simply amazing.

It is said that Owen has been imitating Kobe Bryant, learning Kobe's lone wolf attributes, and he is more lonely, but in the same way, his playing style and Kobe Bryant have a common feature, that is, the fit with various interior lines!

Irving can be seen as a weakened version of the young Kobe, who also loves to break through, has the ability to shoot strong mid-to-long shots, and has the ability to pass close to the top with one hand, especially the ability to pass inside......

Lefu can be seen as a strengthened version of scoring and rebounding; Gasol, a weakened version of organizational ability, Lefu has averaged 26 points and 13 boards per game in the season, or twice, scoring more than 22 points per game all year round, and his assist ability is not particularly bad, and he also averaged more than 2.5 assists per game all year round before coming to the Cavaliers.

Love has always been willing to cooperate with any player on the Cavaliers, otherwise he would not give up the ball, and is willing to renew his contract with the Cavaliers with 18+8 data, because he has had enough of losing and he wants to win.

And Irving has always rejected James and Love before, thinking that they stole his starlight, because the two of them are here, and the Cavaliers' focus is never on him.

But this time Irving was aroused by David Griffin's words, not only in terms of data competitiveness against Liu Ren, but at a higher level, that kind of thing is not clear what it is, in short, Irving is rarely integrated into the entire team of the Cavaliers at this moment.

Owen + Lefou, which is equivalent to a weakened version of the combination of Kobe + Gasol, although it is weakened, what is the significance of the combination of Gasol and Kobe? Kobe Bryant is no longer in his prime, and he and Gasol have reached the Finals three times and won two consecutive championships, and their achievements are exactly the same as the Heat Big Three, if not worse, because that Lakers team only has two players who are still at an All-Star level.

For a while, Irving was like Kobe Bryant, and Love also showed his ability to shoot and respond in the high post with the help of Irving, driving Channing Frye, James Johnson, and Richard Jefferson to play a perfect offensive wave.

The Lakers came on the court with the mentality of crushing the second team of the Cavaliers, but they suddenly burst out, so suddenly they were caught off guard.

Fortunately, the Lakers adjusted quickly and replaced Green to prevent Love from continuing to exert power, Antetokounmpo prevented Love from being too thin, Monroe from defending Love from being too slow, and Gasol not to mention, he was slow without much advantage in height......

After Green came up, he used what his opponents often called "shameless" defensive methods - around to deal with Lefou, Lefou's bounce is very average, Green is a flexible man who can barely play small forward, and the defense is strong, cutting off the connection between Irving and Lefou, which blocked the Cavaliers' offensive wave.

This is also due to the fact that the number of times Irving and Love cooperate is really small, because David Blatter always wants to leave Love for James to use when he plays, and wants to share the pressure on James, and ignores Irving's need for a big man with excellent offensive skills, resulting in the tacit understanding between Irving and Love is indeed average, and the cooperation between the two inside players at the level of the best defensive player like Green is over.

There's no way around it, David Blatter's first consideration is definitely James' needs, as any team would be.

Irving is in the same position at this time as Kobe Bryant and O'Neal were paired together, the team will never prioritize the use of resources on you, but you have to play well and you have to take the blame.

However, this wave of offense played by Irving and Love was hard steel to stop the Lakers, and did not let the score be further stretched, and the official timeout reached the sixth minute of the second quarter, and the Lakers still led the Cavaliers by more than 5 points, the score was 46-40, and the Lakers led the Cavaliers by 6 points into the official timeout.

By the time of the official timeout, James on the Cavaliers' side had fully recovered and was ready to play.

And on the Lakers' side, Kobe Bryant ...... Sure enough, it's old! In the first quarter, the firepower was full and half a quarter was back to the peak, and it was okay not to rest, and there might be no problem in insisting on playing a single quarter, but as soon as you rested, you had to rest for a long time, otherwise you couldn't recover for half a day.

Many friends who don't exercise often have a lot of energy at the beginning when they go to exercise, and then they can play for a long time without resting, but once they rest, the tired body reaction can't stop it.

Kobe Bryant's feeling is like this, not because he doesn't exercise often, it's just that he's old, and the reason is similar.

"Let me deal with him, I'll beat him down, and it's easy for us to win." Kobe Bryant moved his body and said, although his body was still a little soft, he was still confident.

Liu Ren knew at a glance that Tieke was being strong, this guy's will is really admirable, but his head is really not good! Just like in 2013, in the second half of the regular season, when he was injured by Dundee Jones, he had to fight hard, his will was really good, and he played at a high level, but his ankle was also overwhelmed and his tendon was directly broken.

This time he has to be tough, doesn't this guy know that he is the Lakers' most dangerous off-ball offensive player?

Liu Ren felt desperate for Kobe's IQ, and in addition to playing ball, the old man was really a headache in other aspects.

"Kobe Bryant, you can play again after the second half break, and I'll deal with James the same." Liu Ren hurriedly stopped.

"You're going to have to deal with the rest of the Cavaliers, James or I'll do it." Kobe's idea is that if he solves James, the rest of the Cavaliers can be easily killed by Liu Ren, to be honest, he still thinks about Liu Ren, of course, the mentality of wanting to compete with James is estimated to account for a large part.

"Just let me come, they don't have James, and the others can deal with our team without me and you." Liu Ren said decisively.

are all rushing to face James, and the rest of the Lakers team left a drop of cold sweat, making it clear that the boss and the new boss are competing to face James......
