"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to the game. The second game of the Eastern Conference Finals between the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Toronto Raptors is being held here... The game is currently entering the third quarter, and there is still time left before the end of this quarter. Next 3 minutes and 13 seconds..."
"The Cavaliers lead the Raptors, and the score between the two sides was 70 to 60..."
"In the absence of LeBron, Zhao has become the absolute core of the Cavaliers. He currently has 30 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists... The top scorer on the Raptors is DeRozan. , he scored 20 points and 8 rebounds..."
In the Air Canada Center Arena, the host in charge of the broadcast was broadcasting today's battle situation. At the same time, the fans in the arena were also nervously watching the game on the court.
When the Raptors fell behind, they once adopted double-teaming to interfere with Zhao Feiyang. Unfortunately, Zhao Feiyang will immediately transfer the ball to J.R. Smith after being double-teamed. It just so happens that JR feels pretty good tonight, so measures like double-teaming are gradually going bankrupt.
After the double-team failed, Kyle Lowry could only take over the task of guarding Zhao Feiyang.
It's a pity that there is a gap between stars and superstars. As one of the league's best super guards, Zhao Feiyang is not on the same level as Lowry.
No matter what methods Lowry comes up with to interfere, Zhao Feiyang can always score the ball under his restrictions.
Therefore, the Raptors had no choice but to find ways to consume Zhao Feiyang's physical energy. At this time, except for a few minutes of rest at the beginning of the third quarter, he was on the court all the time, and his physical exertion was greater than that of any player on the Cavaliers.
On the field.
Cavaliers offense.
Zhao Feiyang held the ball through halftime, and he passed the ball to JR who came up from the wing to receive the ball. JR rushed into the basket from the left with the ball. After encountering interference from the opponent, he threw the ball to Korver on the right.
Korver caught the ball and took a shot, but unfortunately he failed to score a three-pointer.
The basketball bounced out and fell into the hands of Kevin Love. Love passed a wonderful pass to Zhao Feiyang who rushed to the basket. Zhao Feiyang threw the ball with a lever while running.
Uh-huh.
The ball went in.
Lori, who was trying to prevent Zhao Feiyang from losing, looked helpless again.
It was the Raptors' turn to serve.
This time Lowry held the ball through half court, and he gave the ball to DeRozan. DeRozan held the ball and hit from behind, but failed to find a suitable shot opportunity after pulling away. DeRozan chose to pass the ball back to Lowry. Unexpectedly, the moment he threw it out, Zhao Feiyang suddenly passed Lowry and came out from halfway.
Snapped.
The basketball was intercepted by Zhao Feiyang.
After winning the ball, he quickly rushed across the half court.
Lowry thought he was going to rush to the basket, so he entered the two zones in advance and waited to double-team his teammates. However, Zhao Feiyang stood at the left three-point line.
Before other Cavaliers players could catch up, Zhao Feiyang decisively raised the basketball and shot a three-pointer.
Uh-huh.
The ball went in again.
The Raptors, who made several consecutive attacks, fell into despair for a while.
Soon the game entered the final quarter.
Zhao Feiyang simply showed the spirit of "fighting hard". Except for a 3-minute break at the beginning, he was on the court all the time. It is precisely because of his 40+ playing time that the Cavaliers have steadily maintained their lead.
When there was only one minute left in the game, the score between the two sides was 106 to 93.
The result was incomprehensible to many Raptors fans.
In their opinion, the Cavaliers did not play LeBron in this game! Logically speaking, even if we lose the game, we won't lose by a double-digit score! But the reality is this. The Raptors have lost all morale in this situation, and there is no possibility of catching up.
At the last moment, Lowry on the court even gave up and chose to attack.
Beep.
The moment the timer sounded, fans throughout the Air Canada Center couldn't help but let out a sigh of disappointment.
108 to 95.
13 points difference.
The Raptors lost Game 2 of their series, and they lost so dramatically without LeBron.
DeRozan and Lowry, the two core players in the backcourt, sat down on the team bench. They were sweating profusely and sitting there panting. Although they didn't say anything, everyone could see it on their faces. Expressing sad emotions.
As soon as the game ended, the news spread back to Cleveland.
Many fans were shocked by this result.
"What? Zhao scored 41 points? Single-core led the team to victory?"
"Oh! God! Is this guy so fierce?"
"I thought I was going to lose the game! I didn't expect this guy to put up such data... I thought Zhao was traded here before, but now it seems that he and LeBron are both Cavaliers’ thighs…”
At the same time, LeBron James was at his home in Cleveland. He and his family also watched the game. It's just that in the last quarter, LeBron couldn't see it because he was dealing with some business emergencies. By the time he finished settling his affairs and returned to the living room, the game was over.
"Brownie, how's it going?"
"How is the result?"
LeBron looked at his son.
Brownie did not answer in a hurry, but deliberately let it slip, "Daddy, what do you think the result will be? I bet you, if you guess wrong, give me a thousand dollars!"
LeBron frowned and laughed out loud, "You guy... you actually bet me on a game? Okay! But you better have a thousand dollars, otherwise your pocket money will be lost next month. The money is gone..."
"certainly."
LeBron looked at Bronny and thought for a moment, "I think we should win! I don't see any frustration on your face... If we lose to the Raptors, you will definitely be disappointed. of......."
Brownie smiled and nodded.
"Yes, you guessed it right!"
"But that's not what I want to bet on. It's not hard to guess! What I want to bet on is the point difference! Can you guess how many points the Cavaliers beat the Raptors?"
LeBron sat aside and thought about it again.
"I think the difference should be within 5 points."
"sure?"
"The team's lineup is not much better than the Raptors. Even if I am in the team, I can't guarantee how much the team can beat the Raptors! So I guess it should be 5 points, sure!"
The next second, Brownie stood up and reached out to LeBron excitedly, "Daddy, give me a thousand dollars! You lose!"
LeBron was taken aback.
"How many points did we win?"
"13 points!"
When Bronny said this number, LeBron was stunned! After a brief moment of surprise, LeBron quickly turned on his phone to check the specific data of the game. When he saw Zhao Feiyang scored 41 points, he couldn't help but take a breath.
"Oh! God! This guy's performance looks much better than Kyrie..."
