It seems that the Lakers are ready from top to bottom.
They have prepared everything for a consecutive championship.
Come back in the second half.
The Lakers have fine-tuned their lineup.
Rose, Zhao Chen, Booker, Covington, and Jokic are on the court.
The Lakers are playing with a small lineup.
On the Cavaliers side, Irving, JR, James, Love, and TT are the strongest starters.
James's face was very unkind. James knew very well what kind of difficulties the team was facing.
He needs to step up again.
But at this time, it is even more important to stay calm.
James dribbles to the frontcourt.
James and Love's pick-and-roll.
After the pick-and-roll, James was flanked.
James hit the ball outside and gave it to Love.
Love received a pass from James on his way out.
Complete the position when receiving the ball.
A three-point shot from the top of the arc!
The basketball draws a wonderful arc!
"Uh-huh!"
68 to 80.
Love didn't celebrate, as if he knew what James wanted to do.
What he needs to do now is help James relieve the pressure.
Lakers offense.
Rose took the ball and advanced at high speed, and Zhao Chen on the right also accelerated.
Before halftime, Rose tipped the ball to Zhao Chen who was traveling at high speed.
Zhao Chen still continued his style in the first half, rushing in at high speed before the Cavaliers players could get into position.
Tyronn Lue's eyes were wide open off the court. Although he repeatedly emphasized that players must return to defense with all their strength, he still could not stop Zhao Chen.
As long as Zhao Chen's first step picks up speed, it's as if his car has been filled with gas.
James stood still and tried to inflict an offensive foul on Zhao Chen, but Zhao Chen was very flexible and avoided James with a lightning-fast change of direction.
"call!"
James turned his head slightly and could only see Zhao Chen's back attacking the basket.
Zhao Chen grabbed the ball with both hands and took off into the air. The ball holder in the air made a big windmill and hit the basket!
"frame!"
"frame!"
"clang!"
There was a huge explosion and the sound of the basket swaying.
With the attention of the Staples Arena fans, Zhao Chen completed a violent hammer to the basket.
68 to 82.
Just when Zhao Chen's body had just finished its pendulum swing from under the basket.
The entire backboard shattered into pieces!
Fortunately, the glass material of the backboard is very special. Even if it is broken, it will not fall down.
But the audience at the scene can clearly see it.
The glass instantly covered the entire backboard like a spider web.
"OMG!"
"Fake!!"
"What on earth did this guy do!"
"Zhao Chen smashed the backboard?"
McBreen stood up in the commentary box and yelled.
"This is the first time someone smashed a backboard in the Finals. It's crazy." Van Gundy also shouted at the top of his lungs.
At this moment, the entire Staples Arena fans took a breath.
No one could have imagined that Zhao Chen would complete such a domineering dunk in the first round of the second half.
Zhao Chen's domineering attitude seemed to be ready to knock the knight's momentum to the bottom.
Lakers fans stood up and shouted loudly.
On the court, James looked blankly as cracks appeared on the backboard glass.
That sluggish look seemed to say: "I thought Jordan was invincible, but there is someone braver than him!"
Just now he was thinking of making Zhao Chen an offensive foul, and James himself felt like he was breaking out in a cold sweat.
If he had been knocked down by Zhao Chen just now, he might have gone directly to the hospital.
The referee blew his whistle at this time, and the players who had just returned from the half-time locker room entered the rest time again.
Love came over and patted James on the shoulder to comfort him: "Don't think too much, smashing the rebound doesn't mean anything. We can't give up yet."
Love's words calmed James down. Yes, he also has two All-Star teammates!
This is the finals, we can’t lose again.
"Zhao, I won't be easily defeated by you again!" James looked at Zhao Chen with fighting intent.
The first time he met Zhao Chen in the finals, James didn't care much even if he lost, because he already had two championships in hand at the time, and he was more concerned about returning to the Cavaliers.
When he met Zhao Chen in the second finals, James lost again, but James was still not convinced. James felt that the Cavaliers were not at their best yet!
This time, James didn't make any excuses, he just did it!
Zhao Chen, who was passing by, just looked at James with a calm look, and then walked back to the bench.
"Fake, boss, how do you know I haven't had enough rest?"
"Nice job!"
"Smash the backboard as soon as you come up. Boss, are you really an alien?"
"LeBron was in danger just now. He actually wanted to give you an offensive foul. I think he was hit by you and will go to the hospital."
Jokic chirped and said to Zhao Chen.
"Pay attention to your movements and don't injure yourself." Kobe patted Zhao Chen on the shoulder.
As long as Zhao Chen stays healthy, Kobe believes that this year's seventh championship is guaranteed.
Zhao Chen shrugged and said, "I know, I will try my best to control it."
Everyone was speechless, trying their best not to smash the backboard?
However, since this was not the first time he had done this, no one thought Zhao Chen was showing off.
Zhao Chen dunked the basketball hoop over during the regular season.
During the emergency replacement of the backboard by the staff.
News spreads like snowflakes on the Internet.
"The God of War came, Zhao Chen smashed the backboard to pieces!"
"When the Lakers attacked in the second half, Zhao Chen showed his lightning power and smashed the backboard with a two-handed dunk."
This kind of news makes fans who have not watched the live broadcast turn on the TV or computer to see what is going on.
After a full 15 minutes of delay, the game restarted.
James' eyes continued to be solemn, especially when he looked at Zhao Chen.
Soon, the game started again with the Cavaliers' offense.
Irving dribbled the ball across half court.
After arriving in the frontcourt, Irving immediately gave the ball to James.
Love continued to come up to cover James.
Zhao Chen was blocked by Love, and James rushed in.
James is carrying Covington. Covington is a good defender, but it is obviously impossible to limit the rushing James.
"boom!"
Under the basket, James made an emergency stop to collect the ball.
Covington and Jokic were knocked away at the same time.
James changes his steps and performs a one-handed dunk!
"frame!"
70 to 82.
After completing the dunk, James patted his chest at Zhao Chen!
Zhao Chen glanced at James, he was no different from other players.
Zhao Chen was wondering, as long as he scored a goal, why did he slap his chest so hard?
The first time he met James, Zhao Chen was still a little nervous. At that time, Zhao Chen didn't know how strong James was.
He knows how good Westbrook and Durant are, but both of them lost to James.
On the other hand, this also put pressure on Zhao Chen.
But since losing to James twice in the finals, Zhao Chen has become very confident when facing James.
turn out to be.
Emperor James is nothing more than that!
