Super Heavy Artillery

The game entered the last quarter, and the two sides began the most intense confrontation.

LeBron James took the Cavaliers' young players and took the lead. As soon as he came up, he used his own breakthrough to attack the Thunder's inside line. But he rarely ends the offense by himself. More often, after attracting the defense, the ball is distributed and the teammate is assisted to score.

At the beginning of this section, JR Smith, Osman, and George Hill found the state at the beginning of the game. Whether it's three-pointers or mid-range, the hit rate is very high.

Under such circumstances, the Cavaliers hit the Thunder with a wave of 10:4, pulling the score apart.

To be safe, Donovan called a timeout.

"Our defense is not doing well! LeBron is very strong, I know. But this is not the reason why we are like this. Don't affect our overall defense just because LeBron is alone. He rushed in and let Stie Wen and Jeremy deal with it. The others must keep an eye on the guys on their perimeter. On the offensive end, play more resolutely and take the shot decisively if you have the opportunity. Our rebounding is good and we need to keep it up..."

After a little arrangement, the game restarted.

Westbrook ended his first offense after the timeout. After he received the ball, he stepped on the accelerator and went directly to fifth gear. Between the sparks and the fire, after passing George Hill, a large European step twisted Thompson, who was coming over from the defense, easily layup.

Everyone knows that Westbrook has a strong scoring ability. Especially his breakthrough, the efficiency of scoring is quite high. Unless you hold him down before he starts. Once he rushed, it would be difficult for anyone to stop him except himself.

Switching to the defensive end, An Luo clings to JR Smith. At first I thought he was careless and made this guy make a super long three-pointer. This makes An Luo very upset. So coming back from the timeout, he focused more on the defensive end.

The Cavaliers are still holding the ball by LeBron James. In fact, in the current Cavaliers, George Hill is more used as a shooting guard. His scoring and tough defense have greatly improved the Cavaliers. Almost all the work of the organization is done by James.

Before that, there had been news that Tyronn Lue was going to let James play the number one position. Although so far there has not been such a thing. However, this is not a good idea. LeBron's organization and passing ability were recognized by everyone since he entered the league. He is fully capable of doing what the first position can do, and he has an advantage over other point guards.

Of course, it would be better if he doesn't always look lazy on the court.

Facing Grant, James played very easily. He only needs to rely on his core strength to be tough.

The Thunder could have allowed Paul George to defend James, but Donovan didn't do that. He put Paul George and Anlow on the three-point line, staring at the Cavaliers' outside lines. As for James, Donovan may prefer him to play singles.

After passing Grant easily, James continued to go low. He wanted to repeat the trick, attract the defense himself, and then hand the ball to the open teammate. Even if the opponent's defense is in place in time, you can continue to pass the ball until the opponent's defense is pulled out of the hole. They did just that in the first quarter and the previous 3 minutes.

But this time, Westbrook, Paul George and Anlow on the outside did not lean in. The entire Thunder player at the basket is Adams. James suddenly became the point where the Cavaliers had the best chance.

So he chose to do it himself. His skills at the basket are still very good, and Adams has to take Thompson into consideration. But just after he avoided Adams' block layup shot, a figure who was not particularly strong emerged from behind.

It turned out that Grant never left James' side. He also did not go to the front hard steel. He just trailed behind and waited until the opponent shot before he took off. With his excellent length, wingspan and jumping ability, he directly covered the ball of James.

The basketball hit James's shoulder and the bottom line popped. The Thunder successfully defended the Cavaliers' attack this time.

Trant, who overshadowed LeBron James, was very excited. He yelled with excitement, and the fans at the scene also gave very fierce applause and cheers.

Adams sent the baseline ball. Westbrook once again advanced with the ball. This time, he still rushed directly in. Whenever there is a chance, if the opponent stops him, teammates outside will find opportunities.

The Cavaliers did not put their defensive focus area on the basket. Thompson and James are in the penalty area and the other is near the free throw line. The other three players are staring at Anlow, Paul George and Westbrook~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Although Adams scored a lot in this game, he scored More of it was the ball that Westbrook fed to his mouth. What they chose was to cut off Westbrook's connection with other Thunder players and let Westbrook score.

So, under such circumstances, Westbrook and James began their respective performances.

The other players were entangled with each other, and they all seemed to give up the field in a tacit understanding. Of course, they occasionally participate in the offense. But because the opponent's defense is very targeted, there are no good opportunities. Therefore, the following half of the quarter became a duel between two superstars.

And the two seemed to enjoy the process very much. You slam one, I slam one; you shoot one, and I slam another; you dunk one, I immediately dunk one; if you commit a foul, I also stand on the free throw line.

The audience was also happy to watch. Both Westbrook and LeBron James are the kind of players with very strong style. The wonderful layups and violent dunks brought the atmosphere of the Chesapeake Energy Arena to its peak.

To be honest, as a fan, I still prefer this traditional collision. Now, team basketball is more in line with the development trend of this sport, but people miss the NBA many years ago.

Fierce confrontation, fierce defense, and tit-for-tat between the stars. Although in this game, Westbrook and James basically did not face off directly. But everyone can vaguely find the feeling of watching the NBA back then.

However, during this time, Donovan had a headache. He can understand the thoughts of the fans, and compare him from that era. But as a head coach, he must be able to win the game more safely.
