Lin Yu's outburst brought the Cavaliers back on track. After the score gap narrowed to 3 points, Phil Jackson finally stood up and called a timeout.
After the timeout, Andrew Bynum and Lamar Odom reappeared, and Phil Jackson replaced the trio he relied on most this season, Kobe on the outside plus Odom and Bynum on the inside.
.
On the Cavaliers' side, Mike Brown had a similar reaction and traded back LeBron James.
"The timeout is over, Phil Jackson has replaced the Lakers' inside double height, and the focus of tactics should shift from the outside to the inside. With Kobe Bryant stuck in a solo battle and unable to score, the Lakers really need to
Their inside double-height solves their offensive problems."
Kenny Smith, who was behind the commentary box, mentioned the adjustments between the two teams. When he mentioned the Cavaliers, he had a hint of mockery on his face.
"On the other hand, the Cleveland Cavaliers also exchanged LeBron James. It looks like a substitution in response to the opponent, but the effect may be greatly reduced because the main lineup and substitute rotation of the two teams work in reverse.
Yes, the Lakers' main force won, but the substitute lineup lost, while the Cavaliers' main force lost, and they replaced the substitute lineup led by China Lin to start winning..."
When LeBron James came on the stage, Lin Yu was also a little worried, but he has the "Give me the ball!" feature and can take over a three-minute game at any time, so even if he is worried, it is only a little bit and does not affect the overall situation.
.
In the first round after the timeout, Kobe Bryant hit a fine iron as usual. Although Odom assisted, compared with the first quarter, Odom in the second quarter had lost the bonus of the left-hand magician.
, his several outside coordination failed to achieve results.
As a result, Kobe's catch-and-shoot singles were quickly contained by the Cavaliers' defense, and the iron blow was expected.
The basketball hit the frame and LeBron James rushed to the basket, grabbed the rebound, and immediately launched a counterattack.
During the counterattack, Lin Yu was also observing. He didn't know what kind of mode James was in now, whether it was the brainless James (giving away for free in singles) mode or the reasonable James (habitually passing the blame) mode.
He could only keep looking for James while counterattacking to the frontcourt.
Lin Yu's own speed has increased very quickly. He quickly rushed to the frontcourt and then stopped outside the three-point line. Kobe was also staring at him, not leaving.
James, who was counterattacking with the ball, dove into the crowd. Faced with the crowd, he passed the ball!
"LeBron James, holding the ball, facing Luke Walton and Lamar Odom, he passed the ball outward!"
But it was not Lin Yu who received the ball, but Daniel Gibson who was wide open on the right.
Faced with an excellent scoring opportunity, Daniel Gibson shot a three-pointer from the outside, and with a bang, it hit the net!
"Daniel Gibson caught the ball and hit a three-pointer, and the Cleveland Cavaliers tied the score!"
Gibson hit a three-pointer. He immediately high-fived LeBron James, followed by Lin Yu who came later.
The three high-fived each other, and the huge deficit at the beginning had been wiped out. Amidst the boos from the away team, the Cleveland Cavaliers were obviously about to start their official counterattack.
The Lakers' offense, with Lamar Odom holding the ball from the outside, became more patient, and they continued to pass the ball from the outside. It seemed that they wanted to use the threat created by Kobe to open gaps from other positions.
But ten seconds later, the basketball was back in Kobe's hands.
And Kobe took a strong shot against Lin Yu's defense, and it was considered a catch ball. With a bang, it hit the frame without any suspense.
The Cavaliers grabbed the rebound and fought back again.
Only this time, the counterattack was somewhat unsuccessful. When James rushed to the frontcourt, the Lakers' defense was basically in place, with only Bynum missing.
Facing a complete defense, James' breakthrough seemed to pose no threat, and his pass was only given to Daniel Gibson, who was being marked on the outside.
Lin Yu quickly crossed the line and quickly found Gibson holding the ball. After a hand-to-hand coordination, he moved laterally and shot directly from mid-range.
Whoosh!
Lin Yu's emergency stop shot hit!
"China Lin's hot touch helped him hit this crucial two-pointer, and the Cleveland Cavaliers took the lead! They finally reversed their opening trend!"
The commentators were just sighing at Lin Yu's fiery touch and his outstanding performance, and the Cavaliers suddenly reversed the situation.
Lin Yu on the court realized that his impact on the Cavaliers was still not that great, or to be more precise, his impact on the game was limited to himself.
The key element for the Cavaliers to truly complete their counterattack was actually brought about by the Cavaliers getting back on track after James transformed into LeBron James.
If there is no reasonable Zhan, even if Lin Yu breaks out and narrows the score gap to 3 points, and then the Lakers return to the main force, it will be difficult for him to lead the team and quickly widen the point difference with an almost crushing momentum...
In short, James returned to his normal and reasonable James mode, and the Cavaliers got back on track and took a 7-point lead before halftime.
In the second half, James became even more reasonable James.
After two games, plus the previous preseason games, Lin Yu has figured out James' current thoughts.
James obviously hasn't realized that there is a competition for the ball between him and Lin Yu. He is just dissatisfied with Mike Brown's tactical arrangements.
Therefore, the first half is his time to fight, and once the game is out of his control, James will immediately stop his fight, re-enter his familiar rhythm, and get the game back on track.
Thinking of this, Lin Yu knew where to use the "Give me the ball" feature.
He will not accept the whole first half of the game, so in the next game, he will choose three minutes to take over the ball in the first half of the game.
Then in the second half, he took away the victory in his familiar rhythm.

In the second half of the Halloween game, the familiar Cavaliers continued to suppress the Lakers.
Although the strength of the Lakers has improved, on the other hand, as the defending champion, the Cavaliers, whose strength has not been compromised too much, are still far stronger than the Lakers without Pau Gasol.
Phil Jackson was always one step slower in responding to the situation on the court. Soon, at the end of the third quarter, the Cavaliers widened the score gap to 16 points.
It can be said that at this stage of the game, the suspense of outcome is almost gone, unless Kobe breaks out with 81 points in a single game and reverses the game on his own.
In this case, Kobe took over the game even more brainlessly, but when faced with Lin Yu's defense, it gave him an extremely miserable ending.
At the end, amidst the commotion of Staples, the Cavaliers announced that they had won the game.
Lin Yu, who came off the bench in the second quarter and started to explode, made 14 of 24 shots in the game and scored 35 points, plus 5 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals and 1 block.
Judging from the explosion in the second quarter and leading the team to counterattack, Lin Yu could barely be considered a success in playing the god of death in this game and won the game.
In addition, James' performance was very average, and there were even some flaws in the first quarter and the first half of the second quarter.
After winning the game, Lin Yu naturally received the greatest praise——
"The Cleveland Cavaliers defeated the Los Angeles Lakers and won the Halloween game. China Lin is a well-deserved hero of the victory. When the Cavaliers were once behind, his explosion led the Cavaliers to complete a comeback!"
