.............
Before the finals started, no one could have imagined that the Cavaliers would be in such a predicament.
One day after G3, G4 started quickly.
This time neither team changed their formations.
Both parties are very familiar with each other and there is no change.
Zhao Chen activated the team leader skill at the beginning of the game.
Zhao Chen's strategic focus tonight is on his teammates, not himself.
After the first three games, Zhao Chen believes that the Cavaliers will not dare to relax their defense at all.
First round.
Jokic won the ball with a jump ball and called it to Zhao Chen.
Zhao Chen pushed forward.
Tucker put up the screen, Zhao Chen dribbled with a low hand, and used the space blocked by the screen to complete the speed!
One sudden and two extraordinary successes.
Zhao Chen broke in and encountered a three-person attack. Zhao Chen chose to jump up and pass the ball to Covington in the bottom corner.
Covington felt that he was in great shape today, and he felt so comfortable receiving Zhao Chen's pass that he almost groaned.
Covington's corner three-pointer! !
The knife falls from the hand! !
"Shua!!"
3 to 0.
The Lakers' overall state was very easy to play in G4, and their opening tactics were not too complicated. Zhao Chen broke through to attract the defense, and the outside shooters shot three-pointers.
The knights can also see it, but do they still dare not to flank Zhao Chen?
In the first three games, Zhao Chen made the Cavaliers suffer a lot, and his offensive power was fully demonstrated! ! !
It can be felt in the Quicken Loans Center arena that the Lakers have absolutely suppressed the Cavaliers in terms of momentum!
Covington shook his fist after scoring. He felt that he would score as long as he shot.
I'm in really good shape today.
The Cavaliers attack.
James stopped playing tricks with Zhao Chen. After passing by, he made a savage breakthrough. Zhao Chen's defensive position was very good, but James rushed past him arbitrarily.
James rushed inside, and Jokic could only foul.
After James was fouled, he forced a layup and scored two plus one.
James' extra penalty was also a solid hit.
3 to 3.
The Lakers' second offense.
It was still Zhao Chen's breakthrough.
This time, Zhao Chen dribbled the ball continuously with his hips and then rushed to James' right side before encountering a double attack.
Zhao Chen passed the ball across to Tucker in the right corner.
This is Taco’s dessert section.
Tucker gets the ball easily and without pressure!
The knife falls from the hand! !
6 to 3.
The Cavaliers' defender focused too much on Zhao Chen.
So much so that other positions are ignored. Zhao Chen's organizational ability ensures that he can send the ball to the open space.
"Judging from the start, Zhao Chen's playing style tonight is completely different from the previous three games."
"The players of the Lakers are also very relaxed. Their technical characteristics have been fully demonstrated. Covington and Tucker both have three-point ability. They can help Zhao Chen open up the space."
"Actually, the Lakers' tactics are very familiar to the Cavaliers, which is a typical 1 star and 4 shots. This was James' previous tactic when he was in the Cavaliers."
"The Cavaliers knew what the Lakers wanted to do, but they couldn't stop it. The 0-3 deficit weighed on them, preventing them from making any more mistakes. They could only bet that this was just a short-term tactic by the Lakers."
"If the Lakers can open up other points, it will be difficult for the Cavaliers tonight."
McBrin and Van Gundy are analyzing.
Now the Cavaliers have become the weak side, and everyone is helping them think about how to defeat such a Lakers team.
The Cavaliers attack.
James broke through and passed the ball to Irving.
Irving once again broke through Jokic and scored on Tucker's layup.
Irving's breakthrough is also very lethal.
6 to 5.
The Lakers attacked, and Zhao Chen continued to attack the Cavaliers' defense with tough breakthroughs.
The Cavaliers hesitated in this attack. Zhao Chen turned around and completely passed Mozgov. He went to the three-second zone. Zhao Chen took advantage of the situation and hit Love with a feint, and then easily hit the ball and scored!
8 to 5
After continuously assisting his teammates, Zhao Chen also scored by himself.
The Cavaliers' offense comes again.
James' breakthrough was blocked and distributed to Love.
Love sat in the low post and beat Jokic, and Zhao Chen went over to help defend Love.
The referee called Zhao Chen's thug for a foul! !
Re-opening.
At the kickoff, Zhao Chen was called for a foul again while pushing James!
In just one minute, Zhao Chen received two fouls in a row.
Zhao Chen was also speechless.
Zhao Chen's defensive moves are not big, and he can barely brag about them. But this is the finals, and his opponents also make many defensive moves like this. He can't just brag about himself and not his opponents.
Zhao Chen fell into a foul crisis, and Scott had to replace Zhao Chen with Clarkson!
"Hey, Zhao Chen is going down, this is not good." Zhang Weiping became nervous.
"Zhao Chen made some moves, but they were not big. If you boast like this, the Cavaliers will have a great advantage." Xu Jicheng said.
"Made, the Black Lakers are here again."
"Seeing how disgusting the referee is makes me want to slap him."
"It was the same in the last game. Zhao Chen had at least five two-plus-one balls that he didn't call."
"Dog referee, 8 versus 5!"
"Zhao Chen is gone. The Lakers will not be able to survive this game."
When everyone thought that Zhao Chen's fate would give the Cavaliers an advantage.
Kobe stood up.
Kobe continued to play with James and JR with his feet in the low post.
In addition to Kobe, Clarkson also showed his ability as a chaotic master.
With luck, he suddenly made a three-point jumper.
It looks like Clarkson has a hard time throwing the ball, but he just can throw it.
The Cavaliers were troubled by Kobe and Clarkson.
In addition, in the second team stage, the Lakers' rookies also performed well.
Although James and Irving continued to score, after the first quarter, the score was 29 to 29, and the Cavaliers didn't even take advantage!
At the beginning of the second quarter, Zhao Chen stayed on the court to play with the second team.
The advantage of Zhao Chen's early exit is that his physical energy is almost consumed.
In the first round, Owen wanted to pass Zhao Chen, but Zhao Chen succeeded in stealing it one-on-one! !
Zhao Chen rushed to the frontcourt with the ball at high speed.
Emergency stop at the top of the arc!
Three-point shot!
When he has more physical energy, Zhao Chen will choose to switch to three-pointers, so that he can maintain a better feel!
"Uh-huh!"
32 to 29.
Zhao Chen's appearance made Cavaliers fans feel chilled.
Now Zhao Chen is like a devil. Whenever he takes action, Cavaliers fans will be frightened.
On the next possession, the Lakers' defense was successful again.
Irving wanted to challenge Zhao Chen's shot but was interfered by Zhao Chen.
Zhao Chen turned around to get the rebound himself and rushed forward at high speed.
Zhao Chen's speed was just like James's, running rampant.
Zhao Chen rushed to the inside and was hugged directly by Love.
While hugging him, Zhao Chen casually threw the ball out!
The ball goes in and the buzzer sounds!
Two plus one! ! !
After Zhao Chen hit the extra penalty, the score difference between the two sides widened a bit.
35 to 29!
Zhao Chen's appearance broke the deadlock.
Everyone can see that the loss in the last game hurt the Cavaliers.
The whole Cavaliers team is complaining and blaming each other!
Fans and commentators also vaguely feel that the Lakers are very likely to win the championship tonight!
