After Kyle Lowry scored a three-pointer, Zhao Feiyang also started his personal singles mode.
Cleveland Cavaliers offense.
After the ball passed half court, Zhao Feiyang started shaking with the ball, and Lowry kept reaching out in front of him to interfere. Zhao Feiyang was not in a hurry to shake him off, pretending to open up space for a shot, and the next second he raised the basketball and retreated suddenly.
Lowry thought Zhao Feiyang was going to shoot and subconsciously flew in front of him. However, what greeted him was only Zhao Feiyang's feint.
With a "Buddha" movement, Zhao Feiyang threw away Lowry and rushed to the basket amidst the exclamations of the fans in the audience.
He drove straight forward and before the opponent's inside players could react, he leaped high and smashed the ball into the basket with a one-handed dunk.
boom.
The ball went in.
The whole audience exclaimed again.
The Cavaliers teammates were also excited, and LeBron James even deliberately led the bench players to stand up and make expressions of horror.
The game continues.
More than a minute later, Lowry once again held the ball in singles. This time, he was just about to dribble to the left when Zhao Feiyang saw through it. The two faced each other, and Zhao Feiyang slapped Lowry's ball away.
The basketball falls out.
JR Smith on the side had quick eyes and quick hands. He picked up the ball immediately. Before he could stand still, when he saw that Zhao Feiyang had already passed the half court, he threw the ball to the other side of the court.
Zhao Feiyang seized the opportunity and rushed towards the Raptors' basket. As he approached the penalty area, Lowry pounced on Zhao Feiyang with the intention of using his body to withstand Zhao Feiyang. However, the next moment, Zhao Feiyang not only was not pushed away by him, but also bumped into Lori with his body.
The two collided before making a layup. What surprised the fans at the scene was that Zhao Feiyang pushed away the "little steel cannon" and threw the ball.
Snapped.
The basketball board fell into the basket smoothly.
Not only the fans, but Lowry himself was dumbfounded.
He stood there stunned for a while, never expecting that Zhao Feiyang, who seemed not as strong as him, would not suffer at all in terms of physical fitness. He could even vaguely feel that Zhao Feiyang was stronger than him!
"WTF?"
"Is this guy in such good physical condition?"
Lori couldn't believe it for a moment.
The second quarter gradually comes to an end.
With Zhao Feiyang's strong singles, the Cavaliers have always been firmly in the lead. For the Raptors, Lowry also chose to give up after repeated setbacks. He no longer focused too much on the ball in his own hands, but continued to look for opportunities to assist other teammates.
This change has a certain effect, but other teammates don't feel very good either.
Therefore, by the end of the second quarter, the point difference between the two sides had been widened to 10 points.
For the Raptors, 10 points is not much, but it is enough for them to really take it seriously. After all, no one knows what the situation will be like in the second half!
Beep.
The timer sounded, the rest time for both sides ended, and the game entered the second half.
Considering the score, the Raptors put both Lowry and DeRozan on the court at this time. For the Cavaliers, LeBron originally planned to play, but head coach Tyronn Lue took into account his age and physical condition and decided to let him continue to rest off the court.
"Zhao, I will continue to let you play and lead the team, can you do it?"
"sure."
After Tyronn Lue confirmed with Zhao Feiyang, he sent Zhao Feiyang to the court.
The Cavaliers still rely on him.
No one would have thought that in the following third quarter, the Cavaliers would only rely on Zhao Feiyang to achieve results that shocked the Raptors.
After the start of the third quarter, Zhao Feiyang advanced with the ball and threw a three-pointer towards Lowry.
For the Raptors, Lowry was a little reluctant. After getting the ball, he wanted to respond to Zhao Feiyang in half the game. Unexpectedly, after he dribbled the ball past half court, he was closely followed by Zhao Feiyang. For a while, he couldn't find a chance to take a shot. Later, Lowry forced a shot in order to regain the court, but Zhao Feiyang slapped his shot away. go out.
This big hit really surprised many people.
The basketball fell out and J.R. Smith picked up the ball. He held the ball and sprinted toward the half court, rushing all the way to the penalty area under DeRozan's interference. DeRozan jumped high and prepared to block the shot, but unfortunately he was still a little short. He failed to block JR's ball.
Snapped.
The basketball hit the rim.
Unfortunately, JR also failed to score the ball.
At the critical moment when the basketball fell out, Lowry had already reached the basket and was about to jump up to grab the rebound. However, at the moment he was about to jump up, a figure suddenly jumped up from behind him. With the fans watching in shock, Zhao Feiyang flew over Lowry's head to steal the ball and score a putback dunk.
boom.
The ball went in.
All the fans were shocked!
"Damn it! Did he dunk the ball on Lowry's head just now?"
"Am I dazzled? Why do the Cavaliers have two LeBrons? This guy's jumping is too strong!"
Lowry, who was being buckled, did not expect it to be like this. When Zhao Feiyang fell from above his head, he was still confused.
"Dude, what did you just do?"
"Duck me? WTF?"
On the sidelines of the Cavaliers bench, LeBron and his teammates were absolutely crazy! No one thought that Zhao Feiyang would end the battle with a riding slam!
It was at this moment that many people suddenly recalled that it seemed that Zhao Feiyang won the NBA All-Star Slam Dunk Contest just a few seasons ago!
This guy is still the dunk king!
Although not a traditional dunker! But his dunking level is absolutely top-notch!
After Zhao Feiyang scored this goal, the Raptors' morale and scoring began to go downhill. Although both DeRozan and Lowry were trying to save the situation, the two of them were in relatively average condition today, especially DeRozan. His hand felt completely blocked in the second half.
When the game entered the final quarter, the Cavaliers replaced LeBron, and Zhao Feiyang, who was on full fire, also temporarily went to rest.
The Raptors had no power to resist at this time. With the point difference widened, they could only watch the situation get worse little by little.
When the game came to the final moment with only 2 minutes left, the Cavaliers already led by 15 points. Head coach Tyronn Lue replaced LeBron, and the lineup on the court became all substitutes.
The Raptors also knew that there was no hope of reversal, so they could only replace the two core players Lowry and DeRozan at the last moment, and then waited for the end of the game with all the Raptors fans.
Beep.
The moment the on-site prompt sounded, the Cavaliers players gathered together to cheer and celebrate, while the Raptors players left disappointed, along with tens of thousands of fans.
The contrast is almost stark.
Zhao Feiyang scored the most points in the entire game. He scored 36 points and became the biggest contributor to the victory in this game.
Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals thus came to an end.
