Chapter 562: Intractable
With 1 minute and 43 seconds left in the second quarter, the two sides were tied again!
56:56!
Because the Warriors have a very high winning rate in recent games, the media before the game is more optimistic about the Warriors, after all, they are the uncrowned champions.
But so far in today's game, the Cavaliers don't seem to be left behind, which makes the media who predict that the Warriors will take the Cavaliers lightly, which is very humiliating.
Warriors offense.
Zhou Yang felt that the Cavaliers' lineup was becoming more and more tacit and strong, and it was estimated that it would not be until the fourth quarter to decide the winner.
But at the end of the first half, the Warriors were playing at home and had to take the lead at halftime because it was very important for the morale of the whole team.
For the Cavaliers, the same is true, James is also secretly determined that he must lead at halftime to boost the confidence of the players!
Curry advanced to the front court with the ball, and suddenly played a block with Zhou Yang.
Owen was swapped in front of Zhou Yang.
James was a little hesitant, he didn't dare to give up Curry to wrap Zhou Yang, because Curry was also hot today.
So he held a fluke mentality, hoping that Zhou Yang would not shoot three points, but burst into the restricted area.
In that case, Lefu and Mozgov will restrain Zhou Yang.
However, James miscalculated.
Zhou Yang has indeed rarely shot three-pointers recently, but that doesn't mean he doesn't shoot any of them.
In the face of Irving's defense, Zhou Yang has an advantage in height and is also more technical.
So Zhou Yang did not hesitate and directly retreated for three points!
He didn't even get off and threw the ball out.
Owen was very helpless, so he could only watch Zhou Yang make a move calmly!
Swish!
Three-point hit!
James was a little dumbfounded......
Didn't Zhou Yang shoot three points?
After Zhou Yang scored, he winked mischievously at James, he knew that James was betting that he would not shoot three points.
But Lao Zhan lost the bet.
59:56.
The game continues, and the Cavaliers attack.
The first half was almost over, and the Cavaliers had to hold on to the score or they would be really behind.
James faced Zhou Yang, did not force the play, and passed the ball to Owen again.
Irving's offensive ability is always able to shoot fairy balls at the last critical moments, which is his ability.
Zhou Yang knew Irving's strength and reminded Curry: "Keep close to him, don't let him shoot!"
Curry's defensive ability has improved a lot, but Irving has too many tricks and it is difficult to defend alone.
Irving dribbled with a dazzling shot, tricking Curry out of half a position and killing him to the paint.
At the moment when Owen was about to make a move, Zhou Yang suddenly gave up James and blocked in front of him!
Zhou Yang was too familiar with James, he knew that James would not make a move easily in the final stage, and Owen would not pass it to him, so he took a gamble.
Sure enough, after seeing Zhou Yang, Irving's competitiveness came again, he didn't pass the ball to the vacant James, but continued to dribble, wanting to pass Zhou Yang.
Zhou Yang clapped his hands and shouted, "Come on! Let me try your fairy ball."
Owen suddenly accelerated, broke through from the right side, and Zhou Yang moved quickly under his feet and blocked it.
But Owen suddenly turned around and moved more than a meter away in an instant, throwing Zhou Yang away.
Owen Yuguang saw that Zhou Yang didn't seem to follow, and he was overjoyed, thinking that he had succeeded in passing Zhou Yang.
So he stepped down, hit the basket, and prepared to make a layup.
Who knows, at the moment when he made a layup, Zhou Yang suddenly came out from the back, bang!
A pegboard cap directly pressed the ball down.
Owen felt a darkness in front of him, and knew that something was broken......
The most awesome thing about this ball is not the nailboard hat, what is even more terrifying is that after Zhou Yang held down the ball, he directly controlled it.
After landing, Zhou Yang didn't check it at all, and just shook it, whoosh!
The basketball seemed to have eyes, flew precisely towards Curry, and landed 1 meter in front of Curry.
Curry just accelerates, receives the ball, and launches a counterattack.
James chased after him, but Curry had already started up, hit the basket, and scored a pick-and-roll!
Originally, James also wanted to return the hat with a pegboard, but Curry was prepared, shot early on the board, and took advantage of the time difference to avoid James's chasing hat.
61:56!
In two rounds, the Warriors already led by five points with 59 seconds left on the clock.
Time is running out for the Cavaliers, and James is in a bit of a hurry.
The Cavaliers attack.
James advanced with the ball, he made a look of covering, but suddenly made a three-point shot!
This is one of James's tricks, which is to suddenly cast cold arrows.
There is no way, his passing and breakthrough threats are too great, and the people who defend him dare not stick too tightly, including Zhou Yang.
In this way, putting a distance of half a step is enough for James to make a sudden shot.
Usually James' three-point shooting rate is average, but this time, he is very accurate!
Swish!
Very tough response!
Many people think that James is not strong in projection, but in fact, he is serious and his projection is really accurate.
But James is a pass-oriented star who wants to connect the team and bring out the best in his teammates.
But his teammates were restrained, and James had to step up himself.
Zhou Yang didn't expect James to make a sudden move, so he could only look at the ball and sigh.
At 61:59, the Warriors only led by 2 points.
There were 38 seconds left in the half.
Warriors offense.
Zhou Yang advanced with the ball, and in the face of James, he also made a three-point move.
James sneered in his heart: "You also want to return one, I don't agree!"
So James pounced without hesitation, he felt that his prediction was accurate.
However, Zhou Yang was so bad that he actually made a feint.
If with Zhou Yang's shooting speed, James would not be able to cover it even if he pounced.
But this time Zhou Yang's shot was slow, which was obviously a feint.
After James jumped up, Zhou Yang didn't make a move, and easily rushed over from the right side.
This James off.
Zhou Yang killed near the right sideline, faced Lefu's co-defense, used a gyroscopic turn, killed the penalty area, and threw a shot!
Swish!
Two points in hand.
At 63:59, the Warriors led by four points.
There are only 17 seconds left for the knights.
The 4-point difference left the Cavaliers with no hope of equalizing.
But in the final offensive round, the Cavaliers also have to score, which is about the continuation of the team's morale.
James advanced to the front court with the ball, watching the time, second by second......
Just when there were 3 seconds left in the game time, James suddenly passed the ball, whoosh!
The basketball flew like a cannonball to Lefu in the bottom corner.
Lefu really didn't expect it, but fortunately, he reacted quickly enough to catch the ball.
But the speed was too fast, he didn't adjust his posture well, and there was little time left to attack, so he could only make a hasty shot.
Just after he made his shot, the red timing light came on and the first half ended.
Boom!
Missed, the basket came out.
In this case, the Warriors have a 4-point lead at halftime and have an advantage!
James lowered his head and walked towards the sideline with a grunt, without high-fiveing his teammates, and walked directly into the players' tunnel.
