NBA: Crazy Little Giant

The timeout ended.

Korver of the Cavaliers replaced JR Smith.

The Thunder replaced Luis Scola.

James, who had just come on the court, saw that Chen Cheng had 4 fouls and adopted the"calling names" tactic.

Chen Cheng had 4 fouls, and James thought that Chen Cheng's defensive aggressiveness would decrease. After all, Chen Cheng supported the Thunder's defensive system.

But James underestimated Chen Cheng's courage...

Chen Cheng didn't get too far away from James.

James, who had just come up, had recovered a lot of his strength. If he was separated by a three-pointer, the Thunder would be in trouble.

James called on Chen Cheng, first he moved his legs twice, then he suddenly lowered his body to speed up. Although Chen Cheng's lateral movement was not enough to completely restrict James, he was squeezed past by James.

"hiss..."James couldn't help but gasp. Is this big guy so fast?

After entering the paint area, James accelerated again, but he still couldn't completely shake off Chen Cheng.

Suddenly, James slowed down and made a fake move of passing the ball from behind. He put his left hand behind his back, tricking Chen Cheng into thinking he was going to pass the ball, and his eyes couldn't help but look over.

James seized this opportunity and took advantage of the situation to make a layup.

""Hehe." But at this time, Chen Cheng grabbed the layup with a smile.

James was eliminated in the Eastern Conference Finals by Rondo using this trick earlier, and failed to stage a 23vs24!

But James still underestimated Chen Cheng's height. This trick was not effective for a player with fast footwork defense (with the lateral movement and speed bonus of [Giant Lord (Gold)] in the paint area), super fast reaction, and super tall.......

Soon, James missed a layup against Chen Cheng, and after another failed roll call, he no longer used the roll call tactic to train Chen Cheng.

James organized the offense and cleared one side, allowing Irving to play alone.

Irving, who was shut out in the first half, scored 10 points in the third quarter, but all of these 10 points were scored outside the paint area. He did not score a single point in Chen Cheng's paint.

Irving ran back without the ball, facing James who was defended by Robertson, and passed the ball vigorously. However, the ball was not given to Irving, but to Karen Korver, who was substituted in with James.

This late bloomer entered the NBA in 2003, but only entered the All-Star last season. Korver, who only ran out of half an empty space, raised his hand and made a steady three-pointer.

James's vision and camera memory were fully utilized at this moment.

But this ball did not make James's diehard fans happy, because James' breakthrough was restrained by Chen Cheng.

As long as Chen Cheng did not leave the court, it would be too difficult to score points in positional battles.

After the white shooter Korver scored......

The Thunder also responded quickly. Oladipo saw that it was Irving who switched defense on him, so he rushed over with a pack of explosives without thinking twice and directly knocked Irving down. Although the finishing shot was interfered by TT and he missed.

But Chen Cheng grabbed the rebound and completed a slam dunk.

At the same time, Irving was also out of breath by Oladipo's rush.

Irving was very annoyed.

The Thunder's outside players, whoever had the ball, would rush at him. They simply treated him as a soft persimmon.

It was fine if Westbrook rushed at him.

Oladipo also rushed at him, this......I can barely accept it. After all, Oladipo's ball handling is OK.

But PJ Tucker, Payton Jr., and the sniper king are not very good at ball handling. They are all the same. When they see me defending them, they rush at me.

What do they think of themselves?......

80vs70!

The Thunder entered the fourth quarter with a 10-point advantage.

After the fourth quarter began, facing the somewhat anxious Cavaliers players, James hit two three-pointers from outside the three-point line to stop the bleeding for the team. The

Thunder's outside line was silent again.

They could only hand it over to Chen Cheng.

Chen Cheng hard-hit TT in the low post!

TT was almost broken by Chen Cheng's chisel, Love came to help, and James also came.

The three people's crazy siege almost made Chen Cheng lose the ball.

The veteran Luis Scola who appeared in the fourth quarter reminded Chen Cheng to stay calm and patient.

"List!"

"List!"

""Chen!"

Chen Cheng lifted the ball and found an open teammate.

Chen Cheng looked at Louis Scola, but the ball was passed to Robertson.

After Chen Cheng passed the ball, James rushed to the passing route of Chen Cheng and Scola. Yes, James was always watching Chen Cheng's passing route, but he never thought that Chen Cheng passed the ball to Robertson.

The latter was open and shot a three-pointer!

"With a"swish" sound, it hits the target!.......

James of the Cavaliers made another strong attack, and after a feint to attract help defense, he passed the ball to Irving.

Irving rushed to the basket and challenged Chen Cheng again.

This time, he worshipped Buddha with great piety.

But Chen Cheng is not Buddha!

He is the devil! He won't accept this! He didn't worship!

Irving had no choice but to pass the ball.

After JR Smith received the ball, there was not much time left, and he made a three-pointer!!!......

"Kyrie, you should attack Chen."Although the ball went in, James advised Irving.

Irving said nothing with a cold face.

The Thunder attacked, and Chen Cheng continued to play low-post.

The beautiful pass just now dismembered the opponent's defense, but this does not mean that Chen Cheng's passing ability has been practiced. This time, Chen Cheng's pass was a step slower. Although it was not intercepted, his teammates missed the best time to catch the ball.

Seeing that time was running out, Westbrook made a strong shot from the outside.

It also hit!

This ball was like a basin of cold water poured on the flames of the Cavaliers' counterattack.

If a basin of cold water is not enough.

Then in the next offensive round, Chen Cheng used his exaggerated offensive rebounds, and with James and TT jumping together, he first took off Oladipo's layup and missed Irving's layup, and then a powerful dunk!

Like a tank of ice water, it completely extinguished the Cavaliers' counterattack.

The Thunder led by 18 points.

There were only 5 minutes left in the game........

James and Irving teamed up to continue chasing points.

But Chen Cheng was able to fight back.

The hit rates of both sides gradually decreased as the intensity increased.

But Chen Cheng's terrifying rebounding ability increased the team's offensive tolerance.

On the other hand, if the Cavaliers want to catch up, not only do you have to score goals, but you also have to defend the Thunder and prevent Chen Cheng from grabbing rebounds.

Once the Cavaliers miss a few rounds, the score will only get bigger.

Of course, at the decisive moment, the Cavaliers targeted the Thunder's inside line and surrounded them frantically.

Chen Cheng also paid a certain price for this. His low-post offense was not successful many times, especially when he turned around, he was surrounded and double-teamed by multiple players of the Cavaliers and had 2 of his shots intercepted.

But Chen Cheng's ability to pass the ball seems to have signs of awakening under the siege of the Cavaliers........

The game is over.

Chen Cheng scored 43 points, 24 rebounds, 8 assists, 9 blocks and 3 steals.

There is no way.

Chen Cheng was so powerful under the basket that in the second half of the fourth quarter, even if the Cavaliers' outside players rushed to the basket, they would adjust their shots significantly after seeing Chen Cheng's help defense. It doesn't matter if they don't score, as long as they don't get blocked!!!

Westbrook scored 22 points, 4 rebounds and 7 assists tonight.

Westbrook's data seems average, but his defensive efficiency is very good tonight.

Irving scored 0 points in the first half and 15 points in the second half. He sealed Irving for the entire half. If it weren't for Westbrook's main defense of Irving in the third quarter in order to let Westbrook retain his physical strength, Irving would not be shut out, but it would be almost impossible for him to get a double-digit score tonight.

In addition to defending Irving, Westbrook's 1 block and 2 steals were all given to the Cavaliers' outside players. JR Smith's serious three-pointer inaccuracy tonight was also largely related to Westbrook.

James scored 31 points, 5 rebounds and 11 assists in the game, but in the fourth quarter, due to the decline in physical strength and the failure to make Chen Cheng commit more fouls in the first three quarters, he lost the victory of the game.
