Chapter 1462 Who Is Next?

A 19-point victory over the Cavaliers ended their opponent's 9-game winning streak!

Except for the first quarter, the Lakers never gave the Cavaliers any chance. The next three quarters were enough to make any die-hard Cavaliers fan despair.

Locking up James, blocking out the Sharks, and taking care of other role players, no Cavaliers player's performance can satisfy anyone.

"Let us congratulate the Lakers for their victory over the Cavaliers on the road!"

"Congratulations to the Lakers. They successfully won 10 consecutive away games and became the only team that remains undefeated this season!"

"The Cavaliers, who have won 9 consecutive victories, also lost at the feet of the Lakers. This Laker has shown its superb strength. Who can stop the Lakers next!?"

"The King of the Lakers, the only one who can defeat them is myself!"

After the game between the Lakers and the Cavaliers, media from all over the world praised the Lakers. The Lakers' 10-game winning streak completely eliminated people's doubts about them. ESPN said this was the third consecutive season in history that the Lakers have competed for the championship. The team's best start to the season.

The "Five Tigers of Death" displayed by the Lakers in this game made all media, commentators and players full of praise.

Ji Feng had 25 points, 12 assists and 10 rebounds, scoring his fifth triple-double of the season. He shot over 55% from the field and played very well. This was the result of his focus on defense. He also officially surpassed James on the MVP list. , ranked first!

Artest had 11 points and 5 rebounds, but his performance on the defensive end was obvious to all. His one-on-one defense against James impressed everyone.

Kobe had 20 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 steals. After struggling in the first quarter, Kobe adjusted quickly and became a defensive leader. This not only made West doubt his life, but also made James feel the power.

The interior twin towers were busy throughout the game today, but they also quietly contributed good statistics. Gasol had 14 points, 9 rebounds, 3 offensive rebounds and 2 blocks. Bynum had 10 points, 7 rebounds and 3 blocks.

The Five Tigers of Death scored 80 points together. This scoring ability is not the strongest, because his defense is the essence!

"This is a complete failure." After the game, the on-site commentator said this almost with tears. The whole process was so desperate that most of the fans in the audience had already left. When the game ended, 20,000 people There were less than 2,000 people left in the arena.

It was a heartbreaking night for Cleveland fans.

The statistics speak for themselves. Only 3 Cavaliers scored in double figures, 2 scored over 20, and the field goal percentage was only 34%. They made 3 of 14 three-pointers, 12 of 24 free throws, only 10 assists, and a high number of turnovers. 19 times, all of which were the worst in the season. Even if the time is extended to the last 5 seasons, there are countless numbers like tonight.

O'Neal is the most outstanding player. He scored a double-double with 20 points and 10 rebounds. He made 8 of 12 shots from the field. His shooting percentage is quite good. He looks particularly tall against the background of the whole team. Without O'Neal, the Cavaliers would not be able to win. It is estimated that we will lose more than 25 points.

However, O'Neal was trapped in free throws in the last quarter. He made 4 of 12 free throws in the game, causing the Cavaliers to lose the chance to chase points. But there was no way. Working together to kill the sharks is what every team will do.

The other person in double figures is Xiao Mo. He just scored 10 points tonight, but his shooting was also terrible. He only made 3 of 12 shots, 3 of which were 3-pointers. He didn’t make any 2-pointers. His performance was extremely embarrassing. Of course, this is also You can't blame him, he was tortured so much by Ji Feng that he had no chance to break through.

The worst performer turned out to be James. This may be something no one would have thought of before the game.

Tonight, the darling of Cleveland and the superstar of the league, played one of the worst games of his career. He played 46 minutes. Although he scored 20 points, he only had 6 assists and 7 rebounds. He made 6 of 29 shots from the field and a shooting percentage of He created a career-low 20%, and made an even worse 2 of 11 three-pointers, with a shooting percentage of only 18%. Thanks to 6 of 9 free throws, he barely scored 20 points, but this efficiency is considered to be the main reason for the Cavaliers' defeat.

At the same time, James committed 5 fouls, 10 turnovers, 20 points and 10 turnovers, an embarrassing double-double.

From all this, we can understand why James did not shake hands with his opponents after the game, did not attend the press conference, and even refused to be interviewed by any reporters.

After the game, there was a lot of mourning in Cleveland, especially the scene of James walking back to the tunnel with his head down heartbroken after the game, which made all Cavaliers fans heartbroken.

However, many people still spoke for James after the game. For example, Barkley said after the game: "Ji Feng, Artest, and Kobe, this may be the most terrifying perimeter defensive trio in basketball history. I can't think of anyone who can." Excellent performance against them."

Mike Brown also takes responsibility for his disciple. He believes that James has done everything he can under the opponent's targeted defense.

Of course, criticism is still mainstream. No matter how you say this data is too ugly, it is inconsistent with his identity, and it is definitely the biggest black spot in his career so far.

For example, Pippen joined in the fun and said: "Maybe James should learn how to survive on the outside earlier. His shooting is too bad."

Bird, the king of pressing, also joked: "This is why I focus on shooting. You should understand now."

Of course, there are also those who support James. Good brother Anthony stood up and said: "This is just a game. James has a bad touch and the opponent's defense is excellent. That's it. There is no need to over-interpret it."

However, although Anthony stood up and spoke, he was actually a bit smart, because he was chilled watching today's game. Although he could shoot, but with the Lakers' defense, he always felt that he would become the next James.

Not only him, but the third positions of other teams in the league are trembling, fearing that they are the next...

However, on November 20, the Lakers did not use such tactics. They returned to their home court to face the visiting Bulls.

The Bulls performed well last season, and Rose proved that he is a well-deserved No. 1 pick. He successfully led the Bulls to the playoffs in his rookie season and did what Jordan did. This season has undoubtedly increased people's expectations for them.

Starting with Rose, Hinrich, Noah, Luol Deng, and Brad Miller, the Bulls unknowingly completed a major overhaul and became a young and energetic team.

Youth is their advantage, but it is also a disadvantage. Facing the Lakers, they played proactively from the beginning. Rose's layup and Noah's offensive rebound gave them a 10-4 lead.

However, Ji Feng's three-pointers then began to show their power, and three consecutive three-pointers from outside the three-point line directly reversed the point difference.

From this moment on, the Lakers firmly grasped the rhythm of the game. Although the Bulls continued to launch counterattacks under the leadership of Rose, they were all easily resolved by the Lakers.

"Rose is still too young. The Lakers let him go in one spot and lock the other spots. What's the use of scoring 30 points by yourself." Director Zhang commented.

Rose also experienced the bitterness of being young. He scored a season-high 28 points, but the team lost 81-108. The Lakers easily won their 11th consecutive victory.
