Snapped.
The Cavaliers served, Kevin Love threw the ball to JR Smith, and JR held the ball and advanced towards the half court.
The third quarter officially begins.
After halftime, Zhao Feiyang was on the left ready to respond. JR didn't seem to have any intention of passing the ball. When Zhao Feiyang ran over, JR pretended to pass the ball but actually used Zhao Feiyang to attract the opponent's attention, and then took advantage of the opportunity to break through from the right side into the two zones with the ball.
After entering the two zones, JR took advantage of the Magic players' failure to cover in time and seized the opportunity to put the ball into the basket with a layup.
boom.
The basketball board falls into the basket.
It was the Orlando Magic's turn to fight back.
Substitute defender Shelvin Mark advanced with the ball, and after halftime, Gordon in the right corner received the pass. Gordon broke into the paint under the guard of Kyle Korver. When he was approaching the penalty area, his teammates helped him fend off Korver. Gordon also seized the opportunity and jumped high, amidst the exclamations of the fans in the audience. Remember the one-handed split.
boom.
Gordon slammed the ball into the basket. Although Love, who was standing under the basket, noticed the opponent, he was unable to defend it because he did not cover the ball in time.
The ball is again in the hands of the Cavaliers.
JR continued to push forward with the ball. When he got the ball, he stopped fighting positionally and accelerated towards the half court. After halftime, he decisively broke through and entered the basket, and quickly transferred the ball away after being interfered with.
Snapped.
The basketball was passed back to Zhao Feiyang.
Standing outside the three-point line, Zhao Feiyang did not rush to take action, but observed the positions of others off the court. Just when JR came to him and stretched out his hand to catch the ball, bang, Zhao Feiyang deliberately took advantage of this opportunity when other defensive players were attracted to give the ball to Love under the basket.
Love received the pass in the opponent's defensive gap. As soon as he got the ball, he jumped up and pushed the ball towards the basket.
boom.
The basketball hoop fell into it.
The wonderful pass won applause from the sidelines.
Even JR, who initially thought Zhao Feiyang was unhappy for not passing the ball on purpose, couldn't help but happily high-fived him.
"JR, how about you play the second position...I'll organize the team's offense!"
"How about it?"
"Man, I know you like to score. I am currently recovering from an injury. This opportunity should be given to you..."
When Zhao Feiyang said this, JR certainly had no reason to refute. Previously, when Kyrie Irving was here, he played the team's second position.
Of course, JR didn't have much of the ball when Irving was on the court. Now Zhao Feiyang's arrival should have continued to compress his ball rights, but now Zhao Feiyang is willing to share the ball. How can JR refuse?
"good."
The two hit it off immediately.
When it was the Cavaliers' turn to serve again, this time JR gave the ball directly to Zhao Feiyang. When Zhao Feiyang began to hold the ball across half court, the Cavaliers players on the field were undoubtedly a little surprised, including LeBron James sitting on the team bench, who was very curious.
Head coach Tyronn Lue was sitting on the team bench to rest. When he saw this scene, he stood up and walked to the sidelines.
"what's the situation?"
When Tyronn Lue was still confused, Zhao Feiyang had already dribbled the ball to the half court.
Standing at the top of the arc, he was observing the situation on the court while watching out for the defensive players in front of him. When he saw JR rushing to the basket, Zhao Feiyang suddenly threw the ball with a powerful pass. Bang, JR rushed to the basket and successfully caught the basketball.
When Love saw JR rushing in, he decisively blocked the defensive player in front of him to make room for JR to attack.
The next second, JR quickly threw the basketball behind Love.
Snapped.
A layup fell firmly into the basket.
The whole crowd cheered.
Zhao Feiyang once again relied on passing the ball to help his teammates score. This performance really surprised the fans and players.
Head coach Tyronn Lue also nodded happily.
"What a smart guy!"
"He knows that his injury will affect his speed, so he chooses to play with his mind... Even if he can't score by himself now, if he can organize and connect the team's offense, then his value is still no less than The one who can score..."
In fact, Zhao Feiyang is indeed what Tyronn Lu said.
With his assists, the team's performance has become smoother, especially the offensive fluency is much stronger than before. This is unmatched even when Irving was here.
This also makes the Cavaliers players on the court play more and more actively, because everyone knows that as long as they are willing to run, the superstar who has just been traded will be willing to share the ball and give him the opportunity as soon as possible. In their hands.
JR is undoubtedly the one who has benefited the most.
However, after he scored 9 points in a row, the Magic quickly started to double-team him.
With 2 minutes and 11 seconds left in the third quarter, Zhao Feiyang held the ball past halftime, and JR was about to go up to meet him. Two Magic defenders, Shelvin and Jonathan, double-teamed JR. There was simply no getting away from the two catching the basketball.
Zhao Feiyang was also a little confused when he saw this scene.
"Holy shit!"
"How dare you double team me when I have the ball?"
The next second, Zhao Feiyang decisively raised the basketball and shot a three-pointer.
Uh-huh.
The three-pointer he threw hit the basket steadily.
There was constant applause from the sidelines, and the Cavaliers fans also reacted at this time.
"Damn it! I remember that when this guy first came to the NBA, he seemed to be famous for his three-point shooting... Now the Magic dare to let him take a shot?"
"Zhao only injured his ankle, there is nothing wrong with his hand! His opponent was too careless!"
"No wonder the Magic are at the bottom! There is indeed a reason! If only Zhao's ankles were healthier, he would probably be able to hang up all the Magic players..."
Amid the discussion of the fans, the Magic quickly counterattacked. Unfortunately, this time defender Jonathan made a mistake in controlling the ball and the ball was snatched away by the Cavaliers.
The basketball was given to Zhao Feiyang, and he still held the ball through half the court.
He had always been slow and leisurely before, but this time he suddenly accelerated and rushed out. After he passed halftime, the Magic players were already panicking, and two defenders came up to interfere with him at the same time. In response to this situation, Zhao Feiyang threw the ball decisively.
Snapped.
The basketball he gave flew to the basket area, and JR, who followed up, jumped to catch the ball while running, and smashed the ball into the basket with an alley-oop dunk.
"nice shot!"
"Well done!"
On the Cavaliers bench on the sidelines, LeBron took the initiative to stand up and cheer for Zhao Feiyang and JR on the court.
Seeing that the third quarter was coming to an end, during the Cavaliers' last attack, Zhao Feiyang did not pass the ball out after halftime, but signaled for everyone else to pull away.
"Is Zhao ready to play singles?"
LeBron was a little surprised off the court.
JR on the court did not hesitate at all and directly gestured to Zhao Feiyang to express cooperation. He also deliberately pretended to connect on the wing to distract the defensive player.
After getting the ball, Zhao Feiyang faced Jonathan from the Magic team one-on-one. The two faced each other, Zhao Feiyang faked a move to shake the opponent away, and then raised the basketball and made a decisive move.
Uh-huh.
A three-pointer fell firmly into the basket.
Beep.
The timer then sounded.
At this point, Zhao Feiyang has successfully scored 19 points in this game, which can be regarded as completing the 15+ tasks required in each game.
