Chapter 130: The Second Half of the Battle
readx; Huang Jun held the ball, changed direction laterally, accelerated again, easily passed the defender, and then showed off a pull-up layup. Pen Fun Court added two more points to www.biquge.info score, and at the same time the whistle blew, which was not a foul whistle. It was the whistle at halftime, and at halftime, the Cavaliers led the Lakers by 18 points at 53-35.
The difference in points at half time was something that all the fans didn't expect, especially the Lakers fans on the scene, who never thought it would be like this. They also want to lead the Cavaliers at halftime as they did in the last game. But the current situation is very disappointing for them. Although they knew that their players had worked very the pitch and did not have any negativity, they were disappointed because they were the ones who fell behind in the score.
At this time, Kobe Bryant was completely speechless, and in the first half of the game, he didn't find any touch at all, which made him very depressed. Bryant took fifteen shots in the half and hit just four of them. Got thirteen points. This performance was far from meeting his expectations, which made him very depressed. It is precisely because of this performance that he did not criticize his teammates, because he knew that all this was not because of his teammates or individuals, but because of the whole team.
On the contrary, the most outstanding performance on the Cavaliers' side is not Huang Jun, nor the team's star James, but the team's starting power forward Kwame Brown, who got a double-double of 10 points and 11 rebounds in the half, which is simply a superstar statistic. In addition to this stat, he also contributed six blocks on the defensive end. This kind of performance is completely aimed at the heterogeneous triple. This performance also made the fans of the two teams widen their eyes and watch all this in disbelief, they didn't expect that this game would break out in Kwame Brown.
At this moment, they really don't know what to say, they really don't know what to say, is it because Old Man Joe is commenting on the commentary table in this game, so this champion selected by Michael wants to prove it in front of Michael Jordan. Proving that it wasn't a bad decision for him to be the top pick in the draft? Many fans think that this is the reason, because Michael did not come to the scene to explain the first few games. There was only one such game, and this game was even more explosive, which made them have to believe the possibility they had guessed. It's all too likely.
"Kwamei, did you take doping in this game, you performed so well." In the Cavaliers' locker room, LeBron James joked that he was really shocked by his performance as the team's starting power forward, even he was shocked, not to mention his teammates and the rest of the people outside. Kwamei's outburst did not have any warning at all, and the reason why this game was able to lead by 18 points at halftime was because of Kwamei's super performance, otherwise this game is still very stalemate, right?
"Hehe, thank you for the compliment. I don't know how I broke out, but I was very confident from the start and I had to prove myself to those who looked down on me. At the beginning, I was under too much pressure to withstand that pressure, so I was crushed in the end. But now I don't have that pressure anymore because my teammates are doing really well, and because of you, I have let go of all the pressure baggage on my body. I would like to thank you the most for trusting me without any conditions. Brown said sincerely.
Ever since he was drafted by Jordan to be the top pick, he has been hungry for a good performance to prove his worth. But I don't know if it's because the more he wants to prove himself. So every day the game is in a slump, he knows what he can do, but as soon as he plays, he can't do it. His own level was completely inadequate, and he was crowned the champion of parallel imports. And this title once again brought him a lot of pressure, and under the double pressure, his performance was also worse day by day. It made him give up on his own.
But since coming to the Cavaliers, he has found the confidence he once had, although this confidence is still somewhat related to Johnson's words. But the most important thing is because he doesn't feel any psychological pressure here, and everyone in this team knows what he can do, whether he does it or not, he never gets criticism from anyone. On the contrary, he constantly received encouragement from his teammates, which made him very moved, and under various factors, the outbreak of this game became natural and natural.
"Kwamei, ever since the first time I played with you, I thought you'd one day take all of this off the line. Now you've finally done it, and your outburst has made it easier for us to play. We will definitely win this game, the victory does not belong to the individual, it belongs to the team. Let's all work harder in the second half and try to pull the margin above 20 points at the end of the third quarter. At this time, Huang Jun spoke.
He had 12 points and five assists in the first half, and although he was also very good, Kwame Brown was still above him. James scored five points at halftime, and in the first half, James didn't have many chances to shoot, giving all the opportunities to his teammates who felt hot. That's LeBron, that's the altruistic LeBron. That's why everyone wants to be on the same team as him, because he's just so good and so selfless.
"Michael, Kwame really broke out today, if you had played like this earlier, then you wouldn't have been called such a laughing stock." Erwin looked at the data of the first half of the game, a little shocked, and this shock was completely brought to him by Kwame Brown. Before, he thought that Kwame Brown's outburst was just an accident, and that his play should return to the level in the second quarter, but now it seems that this is obviously not the case. This made him very shocked in his heart, he never thought that the words he just said before the game would be ...... now
He believes that after this game, there will be people who will think that Kwame Brown slapped him, or it can be said that he slapped himself. Because he brought it all upon himself. Before the game, I just said that people can't do it, but so far in this game, people have already got two doubles, in addition to two doubles and six blocks, such a performance, even the discerning people know that the performance is very good. So now he is also mentally ready to be interviewed after the game.
"yes, it really broke out. The outburst is second, that is, the Lakers are dangerous in this game, and if the Lakers can't play well in the third quarter, then they will probably lose this game. Once they lose this game, then the Lakers really have no way back. Michael looked at the stats, "The Cavaliers' shooting percentage is really high, and the rebounding efficiency is also very good. Although the Lakers have twin towers, the twin towers have not achieved much in the face of Kwame and Omir's defense. It's also one of the reasons why the Lakers trailed so much at halftime. ”
"But I believe that as long as the Lakers' Kobe Bryant finds his groove in the second half, then they still have a chance to turn around. But if it can't be reversed in the third quarter, then it will be very difficult for them to reverse it. Because the Cavaliers' Huang Jun performed very well in the fourth quarter, the more critical the moment, the more cold-blooded the performance of the Chinese guard. So the Lakers have to play well in the third quarter, or they're ......"
Elvin doesn't know what to say, the Lakers are his former club, and he himself doesn't want the Lakers to lose to the Cavaliers. As a player, he understands what this game represents. Even if you lose this game, you don't necessarily have no chance. But it's a lot of pressure, and it's the kind of game where there's no way back. So he didn't want the Lakers to lose this game, but as a commentator, he didn't know what to say, so he had to turn his attention to the court.
It will be the players from both sides coming out of the dressing room because the second half of the game will start immediately. The most critical second half will start immediately, and Johnson, who is a famous player of the Lakers, can't help but be nervous for the Lakers, and pray for the Lakers in his heart.
Huang Jun held the ball, quickly advanced to the halfcourt, looked at Zeng Yu in front of him, and said coldly, "At halftime, what are your tactics?" Is it up to you to defend me and LeBron, or to defend Kwame Brown? Looks like you're going to have a lot of trouble with this game. I'm sure this win will be ours. When the words fell, Huang Jun directly threw the basketball in his hand high, not thinking about whether Zeng Yu would jump up and break the ball.
"It's not good, he's passing, he's getting an open catch." As soon as he saw the ball, Zeng Yu immediately opened his mouth to remind, and at the same time, the whole person jumped high, he wanted to defend the ball. But all this seems to have been expected by Huang Jun for a long time. Even how high Zeng Yu can jump and how long his arm span is, all of this is being calculated, and this pass was not broken by Zeng Yu in the end. Instead, it went through his defense and flew towards the inside.
The Lakers players turned their attention to the basketball in the air after Zeng Yu's reminder, and the second half had just begun, and they were not allowed to receive an empty match from the opponent at the beginning of the second half.
