Chapter 226 Strong Counterattack
Zhao Qiang's two three-pointers quickly narrowed the point difference to three points, and it only took less than a minute.
The NBA at this moment doesn't know that there will be a three-point team in the future that will not panic even if it is 20 points behind.
Three-pointers are the weapon for chasing points.
It was the Lakers' turn to attack, and Eddie Jones took the initiative to ask for the ball, trying to complete the attack and regain some face.
After all, it is really unjustifiable to let a college student kill him on his head.
Facing Dulin's protection, Eddie Jones quickly changed direction and directly shook Dulin aside.
Then he shot directly to the basket with one stride. Facing center Maggette's defense, Eddie Jones made a light throw. The basketball just passed Maggette's fingertips and fell into the basket.
As an NBA All-Star guard, Eddie Jones was able to face these college rookies with ease without any effort.
In fact, in this game, the Cavaliers were inextricably tied up with "veterans" like the Lakers, just because Zhao Qiang and Du Lin's three-pointers were off the charts.
Otherwise, the fourth quarter of the game is likely to be garbage time.
Eddie Jones used the throw just now to stabilize the game very well and did not let the Cavaliers completely lose their momentum.
Djokovic controlled the ball and dribbled hard through half court.
Due to the exhaustion of physical energy, it was extremely difficult for Djokovic to face Van Exel's close defense at this moment.
Upon seeing this, Brown immediately ran and gave Djokovic a chance to pass the ball.
When Djokovic saw Brown running out of space and getting a chance to catch the ball, he just wanted to say to Brown: "Bubu, you are my dad!"
In this game, Brown's shooting percentage was not high, and he only made 2 of 7 shots from beyond the three-point line, a 28.6% three-point shooting rate.
You know, Brown has a three-point shooting rate of over 40% in the NCAA.
Even if he faced the defense of a professional team, he should not have such a dismal shooting performance. The reason for his return date can only mean that Brown was too nervous in this game, resulting in a cold touch.
However, the paradox is that Brown is born with a spirit of refusing to admit defeat. He does not believe that he will not be able to find his shooting touch in this game.
So, after Brown received the basketball, he raised his hand and threw a three-pointer two meters away from the three-point line!
Completely ignore defense and just do it!!
but…
The basketball drew a strange arc in the air and did not fall into the basket as expected.
Instead, he had a close contact with the backboard...
Brown's ultra-long three-pointer didn't even touch the basket, which has the charm of becoming the historical triple-double king.
Perhaps because he had predicted that Brown would not score the goal, the Black Dragon jumped up early and grabbed the rebound above Divac's head.
The next second, he immediately turned around and passed to Zhao Qiang in the bottom corner behind him.
Eddie Jones has been waiting for a long time. This round, he has been guarding Zhao Qiang like a dog-skin plaster.
So the moment Zhao Qiang received the pass and was about to take a shooting stance, Eddie Jones had already stretched out his long arm and tried to block Zhao Qiang!
Zhao Qiang repeated his old tricks and once again performed extreme maneuvers in the small space at the bottom corner.
In order to avoid Eddie Jones' block, Zhao Qiang could only lean back at the moment he jumped, and the angle of his shot had already formed a negative angle with the basket.
This is undoubtedly a very difficult shot!
…
brush!
Three point hit!
Zhao Qiang once again hit a very difficult three-pointer!!
Eddie Jones: Oh my god...
When Eddie Jones saw Zhao Qiang hitting such a difficult shot in front of him again, his face turned pale and extremely ugly.
My aunt can tolerate it, but my uncle cannot!
Eddie Jones was "humiliated" by Zhao Qiang one after another, especially when he was played by a college student on his own territory.
His mentality has exploded, and his strong self-esteem makes him unable to bear this humiliation.
However, in contrast, the Lakers fans at the scene gave out bursts of cheers and applause. They like young players like Zhao Qiang very much.
Zhao Qiang's various difficult three-point shots dazzled the fans.
However, the applause of the fans stimulated Eddie Jones even more, and his brain nerves began to go out of control...
"Hey kid, who do you think you are?"
"You don't really think you are very powerful, do you?"
"This is the NBA, you don't even have the qualifications to come in!"
Eddie Jones turned his head and greeted Zhao Qiang with trash talk, and even veins popped up on his forehead, which was enough to show his anger.
Zhao Qiang was a little surprised when he heard Eddie Jones' trash talk. He didn't expect Eddie Jones to break through the defense so quickly.
After all, Zhao Qiang has not yet unleashed some of his killer moves. If he unleashes them, will Eddie Jones be so angry that he jumps over the wall?
In fact, not only Zhao Qiang was a little surprised, but Eddie Jones's Lakers teammates were also quite surprised.
"Eddie, this is just a warm-up match. Don't take it too seriously. You have to pay attention to your identity."
"Man, this game is broadcast live. You don't want to make headlines tomorrow and become the object of ridicule."
Van Exel and Divac walked up to Eddie Jones and whispered to him that they hoped Eddie Jones could stay calm.
The Los Angeles reporters and media staff on the sidelines took photos of Eddie Jones like sharks smelling blood.
"This is tomorrow's headline news. All-star player Eddie Jones was beaten up by a college student. Then he became so angry that he beat the college player! The college player's eyes were cracked and bleeding!"
The beautiful reporter Alice said to the staff beside her, signaling her assistant to take note of it quickly.
At this moment, her eyes were shining, as if she had discovered a new world.
It has to be said that American reporters are also top-notch in their ability to fabricate things out of thin air...
In fact, Eddie Jones was hot-headed just now and really wanted to take action. After all, he is a passionate young man in his twenties. Who doesn't have a hot-headed moment?
Fortunately, Big Brother's timely reminder allowed Eddie Jones to stop being confused and gradually calm down.
Through Eddie Jones' rage, Zhao Qiang saw the Lakers' flaws. He knew that most of the Lakers' players wanted to win but were afraid of losing.
Under this mentality, the strength of the team members will definitely be greatly reduced, and they may even be able to perform only half of their usual abilities.
Zhao Qiang knew very well that under normal conditions, the Cavaliers would definitely not be able to beat the Lakers, a traditional strong team.
If it were a 4-win system in 7 games in the NBA playoff format, the Cavaliers would most likely be swept 4-0. This is the real gap between the two sides.
But now, Zhao Qiang firmly believes that the Cavaliers can win.
