36 to 20.
The Cavaliers playing at home looked even worse.
Facing Zhao Chen's proactive changes, they were at a loss what to do.
They never expected that Zhao Chen didn't attack in the first quarter, but only started to attack in the second quarter.
James' defense was already in place, but Zhao Chen used his personal ability to throw the ball in.
This made James very helpless.
"When Zhao Chen goes crazy, no one in the Cavaliers can guard him, not even James." McBrin shouted.
Mike Breen made this judgment because he had watched too many of Zhao Chen's games and knew Zhao Chen too well.
Zhao Chen's offense is phenomenal.
"If the Cavaliers still want to win, then they need to make changes. Only one person can't guard the MVP for two consecutive years." Van Gundy said.
The Cavaliers attack.
Love didn't sit still.
Love sat inside and beat Covington.
After a series of back-ups, he turned over and hit a jump shot.
Covington's block hit Love's forearm.
"Uh-huh!"
"Beep!"
The ball goes in and the buzzer sounds, a penalty is added!
The Cavaliers still found their offensive method from the previous two games, which was to hit the Lakers' power forward point.
The Lakers won't particularly care about this kind of offense, because the Lakers won the first two games easily.
The Lakers don't believe that Love's offense can defeat them.
Love stood on the free throw line, and with the cheers of the fans in the audience, he steadily hit the extra free throw.
36 to 23.
There wasn't much joy after Love scored.
Now the Cavaliers are lagging behind by a big margin, and it's a long way to go to catch up.
Lakers offense.
Zhao Chen dribbled the ball forward.
James came over and pressed close.
James wanted to challenge Zhao Chen. Even if he couldn't guard Zhao Chen, he still had to create some trouble for him. He couldn't let him play so easily.
But James' defense was too close.
Zhao Chen turned sideways and accelerated to pass him.
It's just that the rest of the knights are guarding against Zhao Chen's attack, but Zhao Chen doesn't have a good chance to continue the attack.
James turned around and continued to defend.
"Your defense is easier than crossing the road." Zhao Chen spat at James.
James' face was dark. This was the first time someone said that to him.
James' defense wouldn't be bad if he didn't have his hands on his hips.
Zhao Chen obviously hit him deliberately.
However, James is indeed a little sensitive in his heart.
If other players said this, James wouldn't care, but it was Zhao Chen who said it to him.
James immediately doubted himself.
Spraying trash did not actually change the situation on the court, it just made Zhao Chen feel happier while playing.
The tactic of the second quarter was Zhao Chen's main attack, and Zhao Chen was not polite and wanted the ball to open up.
The Lakers players quickly spread the space.
James opened his arms with a serious expression, slightly opening up the space, preventing Zhao Chen from jumping in, and preventing Zhao Chen from simply shooting.
Zhao Chen knew very well where James' advantages lay, and he was not worried.
What Zhao Chen has to do now is to completely shatter James' defensive confidence, and then send the Cavaliers away in one wave!
Regardless of whether Zhao Chen sweeps the Cavaliers or not, he is determined to win 3-0 tonight.
Facing James, Zhao Chen changed direction to the right!
James quickly moved sideways and blocked Zhao Chen's first pass attempt.
James' intensity was very high, as if he was here just to defeat Zhao Chen.
Zhao Chen changed direction to the left again, and James continued to push Zhao Chen back with his arrogant left arm.
Zhao Chen frowned. It was really troublesome when James got angry and the referee didn't call these moves.
Zhao Chen called for cover.
Alien brought up.
Arab Lian's pick-and-roll was just in place.
Zhao Chen collected the ball and tried to shoot.
James continued to push away Ah Lian arrogantly and rushed directly towards Zhao Chen.
Zhao Chen smiled, then held the ball and bumped sideways towards James.
Aren't you going to hit me?
Then hit enough!
"boom!"
"Beep!!"
Zhao Chen's shot was nowhere to be seen, but the referee's whistle sounded and he raised three fingers at the same time.
Zhao Chen's ball was either aiming for a goal or causing a foul on James.
Zhao Chen occasionally hits the ball, but his hit is not the same as Harden's. Instead, he shakes his opponent up and rushes forward.
This kind of collision makes the defender unable to defend himself.
James spread his hands, knowing that he had been fooled.
Of course, the fans thought it was shameless for Zhao Chen to commit a foul.
"Shhh!!"
There were boos at the scene.
There were voices of abuse and support.
"Zhao, you know this kind of trick, and winning is not honorable at all."
"LeBron's defense can't guard Zhao."
"Zhao Chen just fucks James without any cowardice."
"James: Xiao Zhao, can you let me go? It's been three years! Let me win once!"
Amid various discussions among fans.
Zhao Chen stood on the free throw line and made all three free throws steadily.
39 to 23.
These three free throws offset Love's two plus one again.
Many Cavaliers fans are ashen-faced.
The Cavaliers were unable to create an offensive climax, and every time they scored, the Lakers responded.
The Lakers' scoring looked too easy.
This makes watching football very tiring.
If the fight continues like this, the Cavaliers will have no hope at all.
Cavaliers fans don't know why the Warriors can play back and forth with the Lakers, but the Cavaliers can't do that.
On the court, the Cavaliers' offense continued.
This time, Love also wanted to hit Covington in the low post. This time Covington did not attack rashly, but just got to the body.
Love's turnaround jump shot failed, and the rebound was grabbed by Arab League.
TT wanted to grab the offensive rebound, but was suppressed by the Arab League.
TT did not expect at first that Yi Jianlian, whose strength and jumping ability were not as good as his, could protect the rebound.
But when he saw Yi Jianlian gritting his teeth and shaking off sweat, TT understood.
Yi Jianlian worked harder than him on the court.
Ah Lian gave the ball to Zhao Chen.
Zhao Chen took the ball across half court.
It's still James who defends Zhao Chen alone.
James paid attention to the screen this time, and was ready to start around the screen when it came up. There was no need to defend so hard this time, and Zhao Chen had to be guarded no matter what.
Zhao Chen looked at James and said with a smile: "It's best not to look around like this to defend me."
As soon as Zhao Chen finished speaking, he stepped back to collect the ball and shot directly from a distance of two meters from the three-point line!
Remote attack comes again!
"Shua!!"
42 to 23.
"Damn it, Zhao Chen is really going to completely crush James."
"James' defense didn't lose position, but he just couldn't guard it."
"This is a typical Zhao Chen-style attack."
"pause!!"
Tyronn Lue stopped the game again.
Zhao Chen's explosive scoring power is a bit scary.
He scored in three consecutive rounds, which was completely different from his performance in the first quarter!
This put the Cavaliers in a desperate situation.
James also shook his head helplessly...
Not long after the second quarter started, the score difference between the two sides became wider and wider.
