Chapter five hundred and sixty seventh: the final battle with the Lakers

At 7:30 p.m. on February 16, 2011, the Lakers and Cavaliers players started a new round of competition at the Cavaliers' home speed loan center. Because the two teams are in different regions, the two teams only have two chances to fight each season.

The last time was at the Lakers' home court, the Cavaliers won the game, and Zhang Kong also completed the overtake of Kobe.

Today is also the Lakers' last chance to take revenge in the regular season. If this revenge is not avenged, then we can only wait until both teams enter the playoffs before we talk about it. Although the Cavaliers are playing offensively, they have made all the teams in the league into sieves.

But those experts and the beasts are not optimistic about the Cavaliers. After all, the Cavaliers are just playing beautifully. After the playoffs and the defensive level is up, I don’t know if they will play so smoothly. The Suns and the Warriors are the lessons of the Cavaliers. Even Jeff Van Gundy, who supports the Cavaliers, thinks that there is a problem with the Cavaliers playing like this.

However, no matter what people from outside say, the Cavaliers should play and play, they don’t feel that there is something wrong with their style of play.

The Cavaliers have not changed in the starting lineup on both sides today. Carter is still the sixth man, Parker plays the second position. The Lakers also have the same old lineup, center Andrew Bynas, power forward Paul Gasol, small forward Ron Artest, shooting guard Kobe, and point guard Derek Fisher. After the game started, Bynum snatched the jump ball from Milicic's hand with his own bounce advantage. The first ball naturally has to be handed over to the team's core. After Kobe received the ball, he pushed into the inside and turned around and made a jump shot, which opened the first record for the Lakers. However, the Cavaliers are not soft-sellers!

This game is the last game of the two teams before the All-Star Game. No one from both teams is willing to lose this game.

After halftime, Zhang Kongxi passed the ball from behind and handed it to McGrady. McGrady singled Artest and made a mid-range shot.

Then, Jamison and Milicic of the Cavaliers all started to take action, blooming inside and outside, and soon achieved a four-point lead with the cheers of the audience. In the first two minutes, except for Kobe's turn and mid-range shot, the Lakers never scored again. At the critical moment, Paul Gasol beat Jamison's tip-off in the interior with his height advantage, breaking the Lakers' scoring drought for more than two minutes. In the next two minutes, the Lakers began to focus on Gasol's point.

There is no reason why Gasol calls his wife Ga. He is a little soft in playing basketball. The second is that he is too weak. He hit Jamison and couldn't squeeze out at all. Jamison pushed him outside, but he has to admit that the big man in Europe has a rich attack method and a very soft touch. After being pushed out of the inside, he can turn around and jump shots, score the basketball with his height advantage, and score six points in a row. In all aspects, plus Bynum's free throw after making a foul in the inside, the Lakers slowly drove the score up.

It still depends on Zhang Kong when he passed the critical moment. Zhang Kong accurately hit a three-pointer from the outside, causing chaos on the Lakers' offense. Kobe saw that the team was behind at the beginning, and he couldn't help feeling a little uncomfortable. The offense lit up Parker, who was defending him, and Parker fell down... And the referee's whistle also sounded. After all, Kobe was not the godson of Stern at the time. He was very comparable. Even in the big game, Griffin also lit up his elbow several times, but he was not judged for a foul. Now Kobe has just been lit up once and has been judged for a foul.

Seeing Parker sank on the ground, Kobe couldn't help but feel a little angry. His mouth was not clean. He happened to be heard by the referee next to him. There was nothing to say. The referees are now experts with 0 tolerance. Not only did Kobe get a second foul because of his elbow, but he also got a technical foul because he questioned the referee's penalty. Just halfway through the first quarter, Kobe made two fouls. He was afraid that Kobe would offend the referee again, so the fake monk could only replace him and replace Shannon Brown.

Without Kobe's threat, the Cavaliers also replaced Parker, replaced Carter, and began to strengthen their offense.

Carter is really useful when he plays. With the joint efforts of the four all-star players in the game, the Cavaliers scored an 11-0 climax when Kobe just left the court, which widened the score by as much as 18 points in one fell swoop. At the critical moment, he still has to rely on Gasol. Kobe is not here, he is the boss of the team and the number one scorer on the court. Although Gasol can't squeeze in in the inside, he can also shoot in the middle distance based on his height advantage, and his feel is indeed good today.

After shooting a few balls, all of them hit. As for the other tower, Bynas, he was a little depressed today. Today, he not only caused a foul by Milicic and made a free throw, but he let Milicic defend himself in the first quarter.

Originally, Bynum was not a very powerful player, with too much ups and downs. Now, with Milicic's strong defense, he disappeared. At the end of the first quarter, the Cavaliers led the Lakers by as many as 11 points, which is not a joke.

In the second quarter, the main players on the Cavaliers left the court to rest, which also gave Lakers players a chance. Kobe, who had a half-quarter break in the first half, took the field at the beginning of the second quarter. It was obvious that the fake monk still had two tricks.

He started playing his own three-me offensive tactics, mainly attacking Gasol. After Jamison got out of the field, the person who replaced him was JJ Hickson. Although this player has good physical fitness, he is only 206 cm tall and is also a short guy.

While Gasolke and Gasol scored continuously in the inside, Carter on the outside could not defend Kobe.

In the first six minutes of the second quarter, the Lakers scored a 17-7 offensive climax, narrowing the score to just one point away.

Kobe and Gasol jointly contributed ten of them. Odom completed an all-relay dunk and sent two assists. At the critical moment, the Cavaliers had to switch Zhang Kong to the field. With Sessions' organizational level, it was indeed not enough to keep the Cavaliers ahead of the Lakers, but Zhang Kong's performance after he came on the field is very worthy of recognition.

As soon as Zhang Kong came on the court, he made a wonderful pass by JJ Hickson at the basket. The latter knocked Gasol away and then made a dunk. Gasol's strength was too poor. Facing JJ Hickson, he said that he was under great pressure. Then Zhang Kong stole the ball that Lao Yu passed to Kobe, and then made a tomahawk-like dunk. He didn't believe it and opened the score again to five points, and also brought out the morale of the Cavaliers. Carter took a break and replaced Parker who specialized in defending the opponent's opponent's opponent. Parker faced Kobe, and Kobe disappeared again like the first quarter. Bynum wanted to play Milicic alone in the inside, but failed to succeed in three consecutive singles.

He didn't make it twice, and the last time he even let Milicic slap a big hat. Currently, the Cavaliers' block is the best in the league.

Phil Jackson had no choice. Seeing that the score was further widened to 15 points, the Lakers were also a little anxious.

Gasol had to be replaced again. The Lakers played against the Cavaliers and had a very big advantage in the number four position.

The Cavaliers had no choice but to watch Gasol score continuously, but their defense was still the same.

The All-Stars, who may have been approaching, have worn out their fighting spirit, and the Lakers' tough defense has disappeared.

At the end of the half-time game, the Cavaliers won two points in a single quarter 27-25, 59-46. At the end of the half-time game, the Cavaliers had already beaten the Lakers for a full 13 points. As soon as the half-time game ended, the players on both sides quickly rushed back to the locker room.

The Cavaliers need to rest, while the Lakers need to reorganize their tactics. It is obvious that the Lakers are completely out of shape today. Just as the commentator of the imperial court said, the Lakers are crazy again, and teams in these big cities are always like this.

When playing games, you will slack off for a while. This is also a classic move for the Lakers. Unlike those teams in small cities, just like Cleveland now, they need to win the game for their own influence and their own influence.

Because only by winning will it attract the attention of the league and fans, so that people will come to attract investment.

Injecting new funds into your team is just like Cleveland used James' reputation at the beginning, but teams in big cities don't need these, especially in Los Angeles, the Angel City, where New York is still a little worse.

There are indeed many rich people in New York. Wall Street represents the global financial center, but it is not an entertainment capital.

So in addition to attracting businessmen, they are very expensive to sell tickets, and they lack the theory of entertainment, so they also need to play basketball. In Los Angeles, the most important thing is entertainment comments. Perhaps there are fewer rich people here than New York.

However, the entertainment elements here are definitely the most common places in the United States and even the world. The people here are not short of exposure, so sometimes they get tired of playing basketball and are unwilling to play anymore, and they are tired of playing.

The Lakers seem to be in this situation now. They are unwilling to play anymore and start working on the work.

The Cavaliers are not willing to play like this. They are playing well now, especially since they have just won ten consecutive games. The Cavaliers' tactics are close to the best record in history. It is conceivable that if Zhang Kong did not suspend the ten games, the Cavaliers might have broken the season's record of 71 wins and 10 losses maintained by the Bulls of Qiao Gang. Of course, this record is just a thought.
