756: Unbreakable Reign (11.7K(1/6)
During the halftime break, ESPN showed the first half of the game, showing scenes of fierce confrontations and conflicts between the two sides.
The two kings, Wayne and James, came off the court to fight in person, which the fans did not expect.
After all, under normal circumstances, direct conflicts between superstars are unlikely to break out.
We are all people with status and status, so it would be rude to take action directly.
Only a violent man like Barkley would directly fight O'Neal.
Therefore, the tit-for-tat scene between Wayne and James in the first half is very rare.
Of course, the ones who suffer the most are their teammates.
Even though I have received the most beatings, I still dare not fight back.
At the end of the first half, the two sides were tied at 61.
James, who was in great shape, had a near-double-double with 25 points and 9 rebounds at halftime. Although Ou Xiaoshu's shooting percentage dropped in the final stage of the second quarter, he still scored 18 points with extremely high efficiency.
For the Trail Blazers, Wayne did his part, scoring 24 points, 9 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 blocks in the half. Curry scored 17 points in the half.
Generally speaking, both teams are competing for stars today, and the scoring is basically concentrated on the two stars of both sides.
Back in the locker room, Wayne found that everyone had some bruises on their bodies.
The Cavaliers were really ruthless today and fought hard.
This means that physical energy consumption is also huge.
Wayne suddenly remembered how he beat Deng Shu to death when he won the championship for the first time in his career.
So, Wayne approached Carlisle and applied: "I will guard James in the third quarter!"
Previously, in order to protect the frame, Wayne never faced off against Lao James on the defensive end.
But today, Lao Zhan's shots from outside the three-point line and from mid-range were very accurate. He didn't have to go to the penalty area to fight with Wayne, and he could score efficiently.
Therefore, Wayne felt that he needed to meet with James in the third quarter.
James scored 25 points at halftime, which shows that the defense against James in the first half was indeed a failure.
Moreover, Wayne also has another purpose, which is to consume James on both offense and defense.
At the end of the first half of the game, Wayne saw that Lao Zhan's chest was rising and falling very much.
Obviously, Lao Zhan's physical energy was consumed very quickly by fighting with Wayne on the defensive end from the beginning.
Even though James was guarding Wayne like this, Wayne could still score 24 points in the half. If the Cavaliers continued to use other players to defend him today, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Therefore, although he is very tired, James will definitely have to bite the bullet and continue to defend Wayne in the second half.
If it weren't for the fact that he could score with relatively easy mid- and long-range shots on the offensive end, Lao Zhan would probably have collapsed a long time ago.
Wayne's mission in the third quarter is to make Lao James no longer easy on the offensive end.
Consume him in all aspects, just like how you dealt with Duncan back then!
As a result, Lao Zhan will definitely be weak at the critical moment in the fourth quarter.
Of course, the risk for Wayne to defend James is that Irving's point is likely to be completely opened.
Irving is in excellent condition today. Without Wayne guarding the inside, his breakthrough will definitely be easier.
But high-level competition is like this, and there is no perfect way.
If you want to gain something, you must also give up something.
Carlisle nodded and agreed to Wayne's proposal.
In the third quarter, the war between kings will escalate again!
The halftime break is very short, but for Cavaliers fans, this halftime break is extremely long.
The Cavaliers performed so well in the first half that they could only tie with the Trail Blazers.
This can't help but make them a little worried.
They all want to see the ending as soon as possible, so any waiting is a kind of torture for them.
For Curry, the halftime break was also very long.
Because after returning to the locker room, he kept being rubbed on the head by Wei Ge, who kept praising him for his last buzzer-beating three-pointer.
If he had known this, Curry would rather not score that three-pointer!
Fortunately for Curry, the score is now tied, so the effect of hair removal cannot be triggered.
Otherwise, I would have to be bald today.
When James came on the court, he encouraged everyone to keep up their efforts in the second half.
But in fact, he was panicking inside, and all he could think about was the $100 left in the rose garden.
Damn I was fooled by Director Lu!
If this loss of one hundred dollars was in vain, Lao Zhan would not be able to sleep well this summer.
Although when he was outside this season, Director Lu opened hot spots for Lao Zhan to use every day.
But if the price of this hotspot is $100, then it’s a huge loss.
James was panicking, not because he was not strong enough, but because he knew very well that there was a problem with his physical distribution.
If we continue to play like this, we will definitely suffer in the fourth quarter.
Lao Zhan must find a way to save his physical energy.
So after playing, Lao Zhan continued to fool Irving.
"Kelly, your offensive status is very good today. In the second half, I think you can attack more! Today will definitely be a brilliant day for you!"
Looking at Lao Zhan's firm gaze, Irving was almost moved to tears.
Look at this situation, where can you find such a good boss?
Other bosses cling on to the power and refuse to let it go, but Lao Zhan actually took the initiative to give it to me.
It’s worth it to keep up with such a good big brother in this life!
I, Ou Xiaoshu, will never be separated from my boss in this life. I want to build a beautiful new countryside with him in Kecun!
At the beginning of the third quarter, the Cavaliers attacked.
As soon as James crossed the midfield line, he discovered that Wayne was coming towards him with open arms.
The cheers at the scene exploded instantly. Finally, Wayne finally came out to defend James!
"Come on LeBron!"
"Kill him!"
"Beat him until he retires!"
The fans shouted wildly and cheered Lao Zhan wildly.
"Come on LeBron, let's stop playing dirty. In the second half, let's fight for real!" Wayne followed suit and raised his finger at Lao James.
Lao Zhan was embarrassed. The voice was so loud, please don’t fight. It seemed like I was afraid of Wayne.
I want to fight, but I'm afraid I won't be able to withstand it physically.
It's simply a dilemma.
James stared at Wayne menacingly and began to change his hands continuously to find a rhythm.
Wayne was well prepared. Although Wayne defeated Mousse not once, not twice. But it is undeniable that Comrade Mousse is still very strong.
After James made a few moves, he suddenly rushed towards Wayne with all his strength.
But just when the two were about to make physical contact, James swung the ball hard and gave it to J.R.!
Wayne:???
J.R.:!!!
Brother, what do you mean?
If you want to pass the ball, just pass it. Why do you do so much foreplay in the front?
I have to say that this wave, Lao Zhan is in the atmosphere.
It would be embarrassing to pass the ball directly, but pretending to break through and then pass the ball can convey a message:
I actually wanted to beat Wayne, after all, he wasn't incapable. But during the breakthrough, I found a teammate who had a better chance, so I passed the ball.
Don’t ask, ask to see the overall situation!
J.R. held the ball, his head buzzing. He thought for a long time and couldn't figure out why he looked like he had a chance.
Finally, J.R. passed the ball to Irving again, and Irving went for a single.
Fortunately, Irving's single attempt was successful and the Cavaliers took the lead again.
After Irving scored, James bared his teeth and roared.
