Chapter 117: Dragon Slayer Warrior
The first half of the game is over.
The score was 61:55.
The Lakers led the Cavaliers by six points.
James who didn't make a lot of effort in the first quarter.
In the second quarter, he led the Cavaliers to launch a fierce counterattack.
As a result, looking at the score, the Lakers still lead.
At the last minute of the end of the first half.
Kevin Love hit a buzzer-beating shot.
Otherwise, the knights are even more behind.
And what destroyed the Cavaliers' counterattack was Wang Shuang's frontcourt rebound.
In the first half, Wang Shuang grabbed 9 frontcourt rebounds alone.
He finished with 19 points and 14 rebounds.
One man snatched up the inside line of the Knights.
His frontcourt rebounds don't just translate into scoring.
And it made the Cavaliers' sharp counterattack unworkable.
The Cavaliers are a team that relies heavily on fast-break counter-attacks during the regular season.
James is probably the best fast-break initiator + finisher combination in history.
And all of the fast-break counter-attacks rely on solid backcourt rebounds.
Once there is no backcourt rebounding guarantee.
The counterattack becomes a source of water.
I can't run it at all.
So, even if James scored 15 points in the first half.
Irving scored 11 points.
Neither was able to help the Cavaliers hold the Lakers down.
Lost too many rebounds in the backcourt.
At halftime.
Dave and his friends got up to go to the toilet and buy something to eat.
Fifteen minutes of the intermission.
The spectators got up and went to the rest of the arena to wander around.
Wait until the third quarter of the game starts for a while.
Some fans just returned to their seats.
So what often happens is.
At the beginning of the third quarter.
Half of the seats were empty.
In the bathroom, Dave's friends were discussing the game.
"That kid number 10 must be taking medicine, right? He's too good at grabbing. ”
"I think it's better to let Mozgov play more, Thompson is still a little too short."
"What about Lefou? After he came, the decline was too great, and I really didn't think it was worth it. ”
"He's going to shoot three-pointers right now. He can't even grab rebounds, he's too skinny now. ”
"That No. 10 kid isn't tall, and he's not strong! And the one who defends him is LeBron. ”
"Do you want LeBron to get stuck in the slot? Isn't he doing enough? ”
Watch your friends arguing.
Dave whispered: "That No. 10 player is called Wang Shuang." ”
His friends turned their heads to look at him and said, "Hey, we know him, Wang...... Oh, that's a hard name to remember. ”
"Who's to say it's hard to remember? Do you remember the Chinese player from the Mavericks? He is also called king. ”
"The first Chinese player to play in the NBA?"
"Yes, yes!"
"Dave, don't forget that he provoked LeBron, this one we have to win!"
A friend reminded Dave.
Dave looked like he didn't care.
He thought to himself: "Isn't it normal to provoke before a match?" ”
Still, he said, "I know, I believe in the Cavaliers, I believe in LeBron." ”
Several people peed, ate something, and returned to their seats.
In the last row, watch the video playback on the big screen.
It's just right for Wang Shuang's performance tonight.
Frontcourt rebounding after rebound.
Brought the score.
Destroys the opponent's defensive confidence.
Blocked the Cavaliers' chance to counterattack.
There are no bells and whistles.
There are no passionate dunks.
There are no 100 steps beyond the three-point line.
It's to rush to the basket and grab the ball again and again.
Then put the ball in the basket easily.
This is what Wang Shuang did the most in the first half.
It's also a thing that seems simple.
It's this kind of simple thing.
Let the Lakers suppress the first place in the East.
Dave watched Wang Shuang's performance in the replay.
Sneakily lifted the clothes on top of himself.
I took a look at the yellow vest that was worn inside.
I actually felt that Wang Shuang's performance was really outstanding.
I wonder what kind of wonderful performance he will have in the second half?
Dave was starting to look forward to it.

bsp; In fact, it's not just Dave who is looking forward to it.
In front of the TV.
A lot of American fans, Chinese fans.
is also looking forward to Wang Shuang's performance.
It's not because of how amazing Wang Shuang is.
It's because the fans love the new and hate the old.
And, there are too many people who hate James.
James is great.
But he's been in the league for more than a decade.
Fans love to watch the newcomers rise to become warriors and slaughter dragons.
Then watch the warrior who slays the dragon turn into an evil dragon, waiting for the next warrior to appear.
This drama has been played out in the NBA for 70 years, and the cycle repeats.
James is the former dragon slayer boy.
He went on to become the biggest dragon in the NBA.
Now it's even a regular season game.
Everyone wanted to see if any teenager could give the dragon a little pain.
Wang Shuang undoubtedly did it in the first half.
After the end of the first half.
Various posts were discussed on the forum.
"Does James not grab rebounds at all? This made Wang Shuang wash away. ”
"This is not the Heat's Lao Zhan, Lao Zhan is a big forward in the Heat's various card positions, and when it comes to the Cavaliers to lose weight, he is no longer in the card position."
"The Cavaliers are still too accustomed to Lao Zhan, with Riley spurring in the Heat, Lao Zhan is a cow and a horse on the inside. When you get to the knight, you can play as much as you want. ”
"It's just a few frontcourt rebounds, I don't believe it, Wang Shuang can still rely on frontcourt rebounds to steal the Cavaliers?"
"It's hard to say, it's like this in the first half, it's really hard to say in the second half."
"Wang Shuang's frontcourt board is indeed too powerful, and the 80 million of the Eight Sages King is a waste."
"What is the blame of the Eight Sages King, it's James who doesn't get stuck!"
"People go back to the Cavaliers just to not work the inside, otherwise it's not good to stay with the Heat?"
"How can there be two champions in staying in the Heat, leaving for four years to send the Cavaliers two champions, isn't this a wanderer going home to pick peaches."
Chatting and chatting on the forum, I went off track again.
As for Wang Shuang's wonderful performance, everyone praises it.
But after all, it didn't get dark.
A player with too few black spots.
There will be less topic traffic.
However, everyone is very much looking forward to Wang Shuang's performance in the second half.
The third quarter quickly restarted.
At halftime for the Cavaliers, Tyronn Lue emphasized the protection of backcourt rebounds.
On the Lakers' side, Scott didn't use Wang Shuang's frontcourt rebounds as a conventional weapon.
He also felt that it was just a good performance tonight.
There is such a thing as frontcourt rebounding, there is the best, and it is normal to have not.
Only a few of the Lakers' bench players know it in their hearts.
Wang Shuang's frontcourt rebounds are really violent.
Loewe, Clarkson, Nick Young.
In the first half they felt.
As long as Wang Shuang is present, they are much more confident in their shots.
The first offense of the third quarter.
The Lakers didn't play well.
The Cavaliers' defense has noticeably intensified.
The conduction ball of the outside line becomes difficult.
After Kobe Bryant and Wang double-blocked the dismantle.
J.R. Smith chased it very closely.
Don't give Kobe Bryant an easy chance to cut in.
Randolph is rounded by Loafer in the low post.
Can't catch the ball.
Hibbert went around.
Koby kicks the ball to Hibbert.
Hibbert's usual routine.
At the beginning of the second half, the defense was loose while he was physically strong.
Throw a few mid-range jumpers, the shooting percentage is quite high.
As a result, the shot after receiving the ball did not go in.
Didn't even touch the basket.
The knight instantly squeezed three people under the basket.
Circle the basket.
Don't give anyone a chance to rush to the front court to rebound.
As a result, the ball smashed on the rebound and bounced weirdly.
The ball happened to touch Wang Shuang's arm.
Wang Shuang didn't catch the ball, but he blocked it with his arm.
Hit the ball to Kobe Bryant outside the three-point line.
Kobe Bryant catches the ball, vacant, and shoots directly for three points!
"Whew"!
Three-point hit!
The fans at the scene were stunned.
Off the field, Tyronn Lue blinked his little eyes.
A bewildered face.
James thumped the ball in disgust.
"Damn! What the hell is going on! ”
