"Zhao Chen's ball shook James so hard."
"James couldn't keep up, and Love, who was helping to defend, didn't put enough pressure on Zhao Chen. Zhao Chen's choice was very reasonable."
Breen and Van Gundy shouted.
The fans at Staples Center were screaming.
Many fans want to know who will win in the one-on-one match between James and Zhao Chen.
Today, it seemed like they couldn't guard each other.
Of course, James' goal seems even more unreliable, while Zhao Chen's goal seems to be a sure thing. If there are a few more rounds, the winner should be easy to determine.
Cavaliers' offense.
James continued to ask for the ball in the low post and wanted to continue to beat Zhao Chen in singles.
James was a little depressed after being swayed by Zhao Chen.
James still hit Zhao Chen from behind, using the same move as before to turn over and fall back!
"frame!"
As fans expected, James' move was not always on target. Zhao Chen's defense was in place and interfered with James' rhythm.
Zhao Chen is also brave and strategic when defending the inside.
He was not afraid at all in the face of such a misplaced attack.
James' blacksmithing made Irving look slightly unhappy.
James played too many singles after the start, which is not the passing he is good at. This made the team's offense not so smooth, and the Cavaliers' start was not so perfect.
The Lakers' offense is still fast.
Jokic grabbed the basketball and passed it to Zhao Chen.
Zhao Chen rushed forward quickly.
Zhao Chen was also observing during the impact.
Zhao Chen looked to the left, but in fact the pass was directed to the right.
The defensive focus was basically on Zhao Chen's side, and Kobe had an absolute gap outside the right three-point line.
Kobe's chasing three-pointer!
Act decisively and resolutely!
"Uh-huh!"
13 to 12.
The Lakers finally caught up with the score after a series of counterattacks.
The Cavaliers request a timeout!
David Blatt can't stand this kind of defense anymore.
The Lakers' offense rebounded too quickly.
The Cavaliers rotated, taking off Waiters and replacing him with JR.
Blatt hopes to continue to strengthen the Cavaliers' offense.
After giving James a few key words, the game resumed.
After scoring consecutively, the momentum of the Lakers fans at home has returned.
The Cavaliers players never expected that the Lakers would press the whole court on the first possession after returning from timeout.
Irving was suppressed by Zhao Chen and was unable to catch the ball. James had no intention of controlling the ball in front.
JR catches the ball.
When JR moved outside the three-point line, he turned around and wanted to pass, but Covington stuck him.
But Zhao Chen quickly gave up on Irving and teamed up with Covington to attack JR!
JR himself could not have imagined that the Lakers would not flank James or Irving, but would directly flank him.
JR didn't think twice and just hit the ball towards Irving at the midfield line.
"Snapped!"
Kobe appeared in the passing lane and intercepted the ball directly.
Kobe threw the ball to Zhao Chen and then sprinted himself.
Neither JR nor Irving had a strong sense of defense and did not react.
They are unable to pursue them! !
When Zhao Chen accelerated, he did not choose to lay up by himself. Instead, he took three steps and released the ball toward the backboard.
The basketball bounced off the rebound and fell into Kobe's hands.
Kobe grabbed the ball with one hand, took a step forward in the three-second zone, and took off to the highest point of his body!
Along with the cheers from the scene, Kobe's body dunk posture appeared.
Kobe grabbed the ball, bent his waist into a bow, and then smashed the ball into the basket!
"frame!"
The basket screamed in pain!
Kobe Bryant succeeded in an alley-oop dunk!
It's like dreaming back to youth.
13 to 14.
Kobe Bryant received an alley-oop from Zhao Chen to take the lead.
After Kobe landed, he tore his jersey and shouted at the camera.
Then Zhao Chen rushed up and bumped chests with Kobe to celebrate!
"Kobe Bryant!"
The DJ at the scene shouted Kobe's name crazily.
The fans were cheering too.
"It's unbelievable, it's two defenders working together."
"The tacit understanding between Zhao Chen and Kobe is really great."
"Although I know it will be difficult for Kobe to recover to the same 30+ state as when he played against the Warriors, I still hope that Kobe will recover."
"If Kobe met Zhao Chen when he was young, they would create a dynasty."
Lakers fans on the sidelines were also cheering.
The alley-oop that Zhao Chen gave to Kobe was so cool.
David Blatt's eyes almost went straight.
I just called a timeout.
Irving was careful about Zhao Chen's pressing defense this time and took the initiative to catch the ball.
Zhao Chen mainly defended Irving and continuously put pressure on Irving.
Irving turned around continuously and barely avoided Zhao Chen's steal.
Zhao Chen's steals are a nightmare for point guards.
No point guard, including Paul, can claim to be able to dribble in front of Zhao Chen absolutely reliably.
After arriving in the frontcourt, Irving quickly threw the ball to James, which was like a hot potato.
Owen once again remembered the fear of facing Zhao Chen, and he had no confidence in playing Zhao Chen alone.
James forced Covington and Mozgov cut inside.
James' breakthrough attracted Tucker and Covington to attack, and James sent the ball to Mozgov in the middle.
Jokic went out to guard Love, and the Lakers' basket was open!
Mozgov's hands clenched angrily! !
15 to 14
James' impact on the basket also made Zhao Chen feel some pressure.
If James charges now, he won't be able to restrain him.
"LeBron James helped his teammates score in the way he does best."
"This is the Cavaliers' tactic. James breaks through to attract the defense and then gives the ball to his teammates."
"James' dominance on the court remains."
Letting James rush up basically means scoring.
The Lakers' offense continues to speed up.
Zhao Chen took the ball and quickly pushed it to the frontcourt.
Zhao Chen attracted a double attack from JR and Irving, and Covington used a reverse run to get rid of the defense and reach beyond the right three-point line.
As soon as Covington was in position, Zhao Chen's pass arrived.
Although he is in good condition, Zhao Chen also wants to organize the entire team's strength to fight against the Cavaliers.
Zhao Chen's passing timing is great, and his passing skills are activated!
Covington catches the ball and shoots a three-pointer!
"frame!"
Unfortunately, even with the passing skill bonus, Covington failed to make the ball.
Zhao Chen also discovered that so far, except for him and Kobe, everyone else's touch is not very good.
In the next round, James still broke through and passed the ball to Irving.
Irving fired from one meter outside the three-point line and made a decisive hit!
18 to 14.
The Cavaliers are still feeling hot.
Coach Scott on the sidelines signaled Zhao Chen to attack by himself,
Zhao Chen took the ball across half court and passed it to Kobe, and then ran inside with the help of a ball-free screen.
Kobe passed the ball to Zhao Chen.
Zhao Chen took the ball and threw it directly!
The arc of the ball was very straight, and normally it would go in, but the basketball came out after swiping around the rim.
These two rounds basically set the tone for the rest of the game.
The Lakers did not quickly establish an advantage after taking the lead, but continued to struggle.
The Cavaliers' offense is hot.
After the first quarter, the score was 37 to 25, with the Lakers trailing by 12 points.
In the second quarter of the game, when everyone thought the Lakers would counterattack, the Lakers team continued to fall into a cycle of sluggish feel.
The Lakers team frequently fired from outside the three-point line, but they couldn't make any shots. It was as if a lid was added to the basket.
Zhao Chen fell into the familiar fight alone!
After halftime, the score became 72-50, and the Lakers were 22 points behind at home.
After feeling good at the start, the Lakers' feeling has plummeted.
This game seems to be back to the previous one, except that the two sides have reversed their roles.
