Chapter 740 Hard James (5/10)
Anthony himself was also very angry. On the defensive end, when he saw Ariza catch the ball and wanted to cut it in an empty space, he pushed it directly, and knocked Ariza overturned.
The referee on the sidelines blew Anthony a defensive foul, but anyone could see that he was very powerful.
The Lakers sent the ball on the sideline, and the ball was finally handed to Mike Dermott, who failed to hit the three-pointer.
After Thompson grabbed the defensive rebound, he gave the ball to Irving, who carried the ball forward.
When he arrived at the frontcourt, Anthony saw that the person who was defending him was still Shuai Shuai. Before I could reach out to organize the attack, he leaned on Shuai Shuai and then reached out to ask for the ball.
Obviously, as a top superstar, even if he failed once, he did not feel that Tang Shuai was able to defend himself.
He felt more that because he made a breakthrough after turning around, his center of gravity was unstable, and it was possible that he was stuck in the position and squeezed out by Tang Shuai.
After receiving the ball, he looked back and saw that the other Lakers players were not double-teamed, so he calmed down his center of gravity, and then started to push in.
He was really holding back his energy. He could tell the moment he hit Ariza just now, but now he overwhelmed Tang Shuai's strength and weight. After pushing it in twice, he suddenly found that Tang Shuai was not moving at all.
"How is this... possible?!" He was in an intuitive confrontation at this time. He could not understand that Tang Shuai was so small, but he had to withstand his attack with his strength.
However, he obviously didn't give up so easily. After feeling that he couldn't push, he suddenly turned right and then leaned back to shoot.
But he just turned around.
"Bang!"
With a crisp sound, he lighted his hand. When he looked again, the ball in his hand had nowhere to fall off.
The moment he turned around, Tang Shuai broke the ball in his hand!
A burst of cheers suddenly broke out at the scene.
After Tang Shuai intercepted the ball, he buried his head and rushed forward. Irving from the outside rushed over to stop him. He saw Westbrook who had already rushed forward. The white chocolate pass bag was activated instantly. He raised his hand and the basketball seemed to be magically cast. He jumped forward from Irving's ear and then came to Westbrook's hand.
After Westbrook received the ball, his eyes were empty. He held his energy to the frontcourt and smashed the ball into the basket with great force.
"Bang!"
With a blast, the fans in the stadium were instantly excited.
12-14, the Lakers chased the gap to only 2 points left.
Although he was still behind, Billups' strange moves worked, and Anthony was defended by Tang Shuai twice in a row.
The Cavaliers pushed the ball to the frontcourt again. This time, Anthony did not take the position anymore. Although he was not convinced, Anthony obviously knew that it was not the time to fight in such a critical game in the finals.
Irving passed the ball to James on the top of the arc, and James greeted Thompson with a pick-and-roll, and made a false move to Anthony through the breakthrough. After Cousins moved to the left, he grabbed the ball with his right hand, rushed to the inside with all his might, facing the basket, and hit the basket with a tomahawk-like buckle.
This is James' specialty at his peak. When the team was in a scoring drought, he chose to use this method to increase morale for the team.
Looking back at the Lakers' offense, Tang Shuai used Ariza to pick-and-roll, break through and pull to attract the double double-team of James and Irving. He hit the earth and gave Ariza a step to catch the ball. Seeing Anthony double-teamed over, he threw the ball directly to the right side of the basket. Cousins jumped up from the oblique side, and slammed the ball hard at the basket in the air.
"Bang!"
Cousins almost dunked the basket, and there was a burst of roaring cheers at the scene.
The Lakers' offense is absolutely fine.
"color!"
This free-flying ball also ignited the atmosphere on the scene.
In the Cavaliers' offense, Irving advanced to the frontcourt and then scored James, which was similar to the pick-and-roll of the last ball. The difference is that this time James did not pass the ball, but used his speed to grab Cousins' defensive position, and when he was about to reach the basket, he would get up and dunk.
"Switch defense!" Tang Shuai shouted, then let go of Anthony, who was defending himself, and went straight to James.
When James saw that it was Tang Shuai again, he did not choose to pass the ball, and he rushed evenly. Obviously, the last collision with Tang Shuai made him feel unhappy.
"Bang!"
This time, Tang Shuai collided with James before he got up. Both of them felt their breathing stagnation, and then both took a step back.
James immediately moved the ball to the right and did not let himself go.
However, before he could stabilize, he saw Tang Shuai rushing up immediately and actually broke towards the ball in his hand.
An extremely surprised look flashed in his heart. Although he was in the East and only fought with the Lakers twice a season, he still knew Tang Shuai's strength. If Tang Shuai scored 82 points in the third game shocked him, then now, Tang Shuai's improvement in strength once again shocked him.
It was the moment when this emotion flashed, and with a "bang", Tang Shuai's hand suddenly broke the ball in his hand.
He immediately went to counterattack, but Tang Shuai reacted quickly and leaned over as soon as he touched the ball.
"Bang!"
There was another dull collision sound. In his extremely surprised eyes, Tang Shuai's body shook slightly, and then he took the ball and ran towards the frontcourt.
The fans at the scene were completely excited.
In the first two rounds, Tang Shuai locked Anthony one-on-one, but now he beat James and broke the ball from the latter!
Shuai Tang quickly broke into the frontcourt. Facing Shampoo's defense, he held his breath and jumped up.
Shampoo took off at the same time and wanted to block it.
But as soon as he got in touch with Tang Shuai, he felt a strong force coming from his chest, and then he flew out uncontrollably.
"Bang!"
With a muffled sound, after knocking Thompson to score a dunk, Tang Shuai knocked Shampoo to score a dunk in the fast break.
16-16, after his dunk successfully, the Lakers have tied the score.
At this time, James looked up at the LED screen above his head, and the scene of Tang Shuai from stealing to dunk was played on it. He spitted out his braces while walking back.
Obviously, Tang Shuai's strength is really terrifying.
He even had the illusion that Tang Shuai was completely keeping his strength in the first two games, just increasing the difficulty for himself? Just like Jordan at the time?
As soon as this idea came out, he quickly shook his head hard.
That was obviously impossible, but it was obvious that Tang Shuai's performance had already made him feel afraid.
In the Cavaliers' offense, James received the ball and faced Shuai Tang. He actually gave up the strong attack and gave the ball to Anthony.
Anthony hit Ariza with the ball frame. After one step over Ariza, he rushed to the basket with the ball, but just as he was about to make a layup, Tang Shuai rushed out of nowhere, so he gritted his teeth and rushed forward.
"Bang!"
There was a muffled sound, and Tang Shuai didn't move at all. Instead, he was knocked to the point of being tilted, and the basketball almost lost his hand.
"Bang!"
At this moment, Tang Shuai was quick-eyed and quick-handed, and once again broke the ball in his hand.
