Showdown, I'm the God of Basketball

Chapter 438 This Is the Power of a Leader
In the second quarter of the game, Zhao Hao took a step back against Vujacic's defense and scored a three-pointer as soon as he came up.

There's no way, this fool needs speed but doesn't have speed, needs defense but doesn't defend, needs experience but doesn't have experience, and even in terms of physical strength, he is far behind Zhao Hao.

So it's no wonder it wasn't knocked down.

At this time, the photographer's lens moved to Kupchak again.

It means a lot!
After all, Vujacic and Zhao Hao are the same year's show!

And when the two were on the Lakers at the same time, Kupchak also firmly believed that Vujacic was better than Zhao Hao.

It's just that, judging from the current results, it doesn't even need to be judging from the current picture. The results were obtained as early as when the two were rookies.

Zhao Hao was the best rookie of the year.

so.
Kupchak: Are you a cameraman going to the enemy and taking pictures of me again?Jujube horse!

In the next round, facing Zhao Hao who was about to single him again, Vujacic also stroked his hair nervously.

"Kevin, come and wipe my ass!"

Garnett: XXX
But Garnett is very clear that even Kobe's offense against Zhao Hao will be beaten efficiently and he has to seek double-team defense, so Vujacic?
It's just to give away the head!
Therefore, for the team's victory, he had to step up again and double-team Zhao Hao.

Heh, it's already this time, you still dare to double-team?
Faced with such a defensive choice from the Lakers, Zhao Hao did not hesitate, and directly passed back to James.

And at this time, the Lakers don't have Garnett inside!

James, who had held back two games, was already hungry and thirsty. After seeing this opportunity, he went straight to the layup like a tank!

Substitute small forward Aaron McGee also wanted to come over to defend.

result!

As soon as he came into contact with James' body, he was directly bounced away!

"Nimma, what kind of breakthrough is this!"

The inside power forward Brian Cook rushed over after seeing this scene.

In the face of James' drive to the basket, he insisted, trying to turn this must-go goal into a foul!
but!

Damn, I can't pull it off!

As a result, Brian Cook's foul only abruptly turned James' dunk into a layup.

beep!beep!
The referee blows his whistle and the basketball goes into the basket.

2+1!

Brian Cook helplessly spread his hands towards his coach's bench.

This Nima's breakthrough looks like a cow, who can stop it?
And at least a fucking rhino!
At this time, Aaron McGee, who was bounced off, also stood up unsteadily.

"I want to say that I was shot by a brick just now, do you believe it?"

Lakers coach.

Phil Jackson shook his head helplessly when he saw this scene.

Take all precautions, but still let James break through!
With Zhao Hao already going crazy in this round of the series, if James goes crazy too, then the Lakers may really die on this pair of Wang Bo.

But at this time, because Zhao Hao was too threatening on the court, playing Vujacic in singles was as easy as a college student playing a primary school student.

So Garnett had to help defend, and he could only help defend!

Because it wouldn't work for anyone else on the field!
Therefore, if the fight continues like this, it may only be a matter of time before James goes crazy.

Hush~shh~
Fick Jackson also quickly blew a whistle, signaling to the referee to call a timeout.

When Mike Brown on the opposite side saw it, his eyes sank.

"You are so advanced even if you call a timeout, labor and management can't learn it!"

After the timeout ended, Kobe was brought back to the court.

"This is the way the Lakers have no choice, after all, James has already charged up, and Zhao Hao's offense is also so efficient.

Timeouts and substitutions are urgent. "

Barkley also wants to say that facing this Cavaliers team that is like a hungry wolf, if you dare to relax for a second, the Lakers will definitely be beaten all over.

Therefore, when the Cavaliers get James and Zhao Hao at the same time, your Lakers can't get Kobe and Garnett.

In this way, Phil Jackson's plan to wait for work with ease was completely shattered.

"I'm afraid this round of the series will gradually turn into a contest of physical strength in the end!"

It's just that both James and Zhao Hao are still young, and Garnett and Kobe have always been model workers on the court.

So the core of both teams seems to have enough energy to cope with the game.

But what Cole wants to say is that, after all, the Cavaliers have been 4:0 throughout the playoffs!

Therefore, their physical strength is much better than that of the Lakers, who had a few games with the Spurs.

In other words, if the game is really difficult to the end, the Cavaliers should be better than the Lakers in terms of physical strength and physical exhaustion.

The second quarter is over.

With Kobe on the court, the Cavaliers and Lakers have once again become the kind of rough play.

With Zhao Hao's three-pointer at the buzzer at the last second, 65:65!

Cavaliers and Lakers tied!
In the second half of the game, the two teams also returned to the same starting line again.

It's just that at this time, they all tacitly increased their defensive strength at the same time.

Fick Jackson, don't look at this guy as an offensive coach like Popovich.

As coaches from the older generation, they also have blood that puts defense first in their bones.

When it comes time to focus on strength and defense, they will never let their opponents down.

On the court, Gooden and Marshall also pressed the ball that Kobe must score in succession, forcing Kobe to the free throw line.

At the free throw line, Kobe also surrendered an efficient shooting rate of 8 of 7.

In other words, Gooden and Marshall used 4 fouls, just turning the 8-point goal that must be scored into 7 points, which is just a one-point advantage!

But even this point is extremely important on such an anxious stage as the finals!
And to defend Kobe, send him to the free throw line, and at the same time cut off the connection between Garnett and his teammates, this is a tactic that Mike Brown deliberately arranged during the intermission.

As far as the current effect is concerned, it's pretty good!
The Lakers only scored 8 points in a full 12 minutes!
In other words, apart from Kobe's 7 free throws, they only scored 5 points in the sports game.

And the Cavaliers were also defended enough.

Zhao Hao was double-teamed by many people in a row and could only choose to split the ball. After James reorganized or reached the basket, he was more often interfered or stood on the free throw line.

It's just that Lao Zhan's free throw percentage is not so reliable, 10 of 6, even lower than his average free throw percentage per game.

The shooters of the Cavaliers also spent more energy on defense, and their shooting sights were seriously inaccurate.

Only Damon Jones and Zhao Hao hit a three-pointer respectively, and James also scored a dunk.

79: 77!

The Cavaliers lead by two points!
"In this quarter, the two teams also showed us their defensive strength, especially the Cavaliers' defense against Kobe, and the Lakers' restrictions on Zhao Hao and James.

This can't help but remind me of the live horse battle back then. The two teams also faced off on the field in almost the same way. "

Originally, Kerr also thought that this kind of defensive competition should have an end. After all, it is impossible for the players of the two teams on the field to have such a strong defensive intensity throughout the game.

After all, defense depends more on hard work!

So the players of the two teams are really tired.

But the result.
In the last 4 minutes of the third quarter, the two teams used their last ounces of strength, and both defended against their opponents without scoring a single point!
The score is still 79:77!

This is a bit scary!

"Oh my god, the score at 14:12 in a single quarter!
What kind of hand-to-hand combat can prevent the opponent like this. "

Su Qun also wanted to say that in this quarter alone, the two teams lost a total of 17 fouls in order to play such an aggressive defense!

17 fouls in a single quarter, it's scary to think about it!
The Lakers also had a total of 8 fouls. Brian Cook and Aaron McGee were the worst. They had 3 fouls and 2 fouls.

The remaining fouls were also concentrated on Garnett and Kobe.

Compared with the Cavaliers, it was much more brutal, with 9 fouls!
Among them, 4 fouls appeared on Marshall!
Marshall also fought hard in this game.

After all, as a center against Garnett, he was beaten badly by the opponent every night.

He couldn't keep up with his footsteps, he wasn't tall enough, his body was not as strong as Garnett's, and even his skills were completely blown out by the opponent.

In particular, Garnett also has the ability to organize first-hand, which also makes Marshall even more difficult to guard.

The point is that his own three-pointer has not been opened in this round of finals, which is why he has brought so much trouble to the Cavaliers.

Therefore, Marshall blames himself!

During the off-season, the Cavaliers also offered a contract that exceeded all teams in the league in order to sign him.

The purpose is his spatial inside ability and good defense!

But now it seems that there is neither!

And because of this contract, the Cavaliers also lost the bargaining chip to reinforce their guards in the offseason, and could only watch the loss of their favorite point guards.

In addition to Marshall, Zhao Hao and James also received two fouls at the same time.

The two also took the lead and led the entire team to play a high-intensity defense!
"When the two cores of a team are willing to do this kind of dirty work, the teammates around them can't help being infected.

This is the power of leadership! "

The fourth quarter begins.

Kobe also took the lead in scoring with a difficult fade-away jumper at the corner, and the scores of the two teams were tied again!

79: 79!

Then Zhao Hao responded and scored with a step-back jumper from the free throw line!
Garnett then played a pick-and-roll with Kobe, hit a KK connection, turned around and went inside for an alley-oop dunk.

James then made a one-on-three, and at the same time carried Garnett, Odom and Luke Walton's defensive layup and scored a layup.
