Faced with James' defense, Lu Yao stopped delaying and directly changed direction. His rhythmic shaking gradually made James a little behind.
The little emperor was a little panicked.
At this moment, James felt very confused. Lu Yao was obviously just a rookie who had only played two games, but he could have such outstanding personal abilities.
Even in his rookie season, he never had such dominance.
James even feels that the player in front of him is the real chosen one.
Thinking about this, I can't help but feel that the Chosen Son tattoo on my body is a bit heavy.
After constant testing, James couldn't keep up, and Lu Yao found an opportunity, accelerated past him, rushed inside, and scored with a basket!
With this pick, the Thunder expanded the score to 11 points!
The current situation is very unoptimistic for the Cavaliers!
James gritted his teeth and couldn't help but think to himself.
This young man was so strong that it made him feel suffocated.
To him, any attack is like picking something out of a bag.
He has experienced this state before and knows the conditions for reaching this level.
Physical fitness, technique, and feel are all indispensable.
Lu Yao is completely at one with the basketball in his hands.
Cavaliers possession.
James controlled the ball for half the court and stood at the top of the arc to dribble. From the looks of it, he wanted to deal the cards at the top of the arc.
Irving used the pick-and-roll to slip out from the baseline, came behind James, passed the ball hand-to-hand, and got the ball into his own hands.
Unexpectedly, just as Irving was looking for a suitable offensive position, a black shadow suddenly came out and snatched the basketball from Irving's hand.
Irving was a little confused. He didn't even react. The ball in his hand had been taken away!
And that dark shadow was none other than Lu Yao.
Lu Yao kept sprinting towards the frontcourt, and from the corner of his eye, he caught sight of Westbrook who was already rushing in front of him.
Lu Yao didn't hesitate much. He was about to throw the ball in the air and made a super long alley-oop.
Megatron's physical fitness is one of the best in the entire league. He jumped high and directly took the ball in the air in his hands.
The basket at this moment has become an item for Westbrook to vent his emotions!
Westbrook's violent two-handed dunk gave the Thunder a 13-point lead!
This move directly made the Thunder substitute players on the sidelines excited, and they jumped up from their stools one by one.
This dunk is so awesome!
And Lu Yao's passing was even more natural, which shocked everyone!
Westbrook ran to Lu Yao and high-fived him to celebrate.
After these three games, the one who cooperates best with him is naturally Westbrook.
Westbrook's straightforward character, coupled with his explosive physical fitness, make the Lu-Wei combination become another powerful combination of the Thunder!
At this moment, the entire Quicken Loans Center was extremely quiet, and the fans looked ashen-faced, not at all like the madness before!
Immediately afterwards, the Thunder felt hot and struck while the iron was hot, scoring one goal after another.
On the other hand, the Cavaliers at home were in a daze. Not only did they keep hitting shots, but they also made many mistakes, and all kinds of statistics were exploded by the Thunder.
After three quarters, the Thunder had a huge 20-point lead, and the game seemed to have no suspense.
Owen stood there, biting his braces, staring blankly at Lu Yao, not knowing what he was thinking in his heart.
Love held his head in his hands, feeling unbelievable.
James walked back to the bench from the court, licking his lips and looking a little confused.
The Cavaliers, who claim to have swept every team in the league, were beaten badly by the visiting Thunder at home today and were left vulnerable.
James, who had just started, believed that victory was inevitable.
Did you ever think that in just three quarters, the Cavaliers, the league's number one player, would be beaten and unable to fight back.
And the reason for all this is because of the Thunder's new star - Lu Yao.
In the fourth quarter, seeing that there was no hope of chasing points, the Cavaliers replaced the main players and gave their substitutes some playing time to score points.
Lu Yao, on the other hand, made a splash in the fourth quarter and was replaced.
At the end of the game, the Thunder defeated the Cavaliers 126:105, ending the Cavaliers' five-game winning streak. With three consecutive victories, they came to second place in the Western Conference, only two games away from the Warriors, who are first in the Western Conference.
In this game, Lu Yao scored a 30+ triple-double with 35 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists. He scored 20+ in the half and beat James in the third quarter!
Lu Yao's name has once again become a hot topic in the global basketball world.
After the game, Barkley looked at the data sheet, as if he had made a huge decision, shook his head helplessly and said.
"I'm really convinced by Lu! From now on, I will be Lu's number one fan. If anyone dares to hack Lu in the future, I will be the first to be anxious!"
Seeing Barkley changing his face at the speed of light, Kenny Smith suppressed a smile and made a fair evaluation of the game.
“In this game, the Cavaliers were back and forth with the Thunder from the first quarter to the first half of the second quarter, but Lu Yao’s performance in the second half of the second quarter and the third quarter directly disrupted the Cavaliers’ rhythm. "
"As a result, the Cavaliers failed to recover and were opened up by a huge 20-point deficit in the third quarter. The fourth quarter was completely garbage time."
"Since Lu Yao landed in the NBA, the Thunder have won three consecutive games. Lu Yao averaged 32+7+7 per game."
"From being questioned at the beginning to proving myself now, I think the best rookie this year will only be one person, Lu Yao!"
After the game, James and Lu Yao hugged each other.
"LeBron, tell me, will I still be bomb-proofed?"
James scratched his bald head in embarrassment and said, "I've gone too far with my boasting. Lu, if you have a chance in the future, I'll treat you to a taco when you come to Cleveland!"
"Oh yes, taco..."
"Tuesday~"
…
The second day.
Lu Yao's name suddenly swept across the United States.
