Chapter 1504: Eat, Sleep and Beat Knights

Kobe stood on the free throw line for the second time in this quarter, enjoying the applause and cheers of the MVP. He scored 6 of the Lakers' first 12 points, and his shooting percentage was 100%. It can be said that it was incompatible with the bandage wrapped around his finger.

"Kobe made a perfect return debut!" Hearn cheered for Kobe from the sidelines.

With such cheers, the atmosphere in the Cavaliers dropped to freezing point, because Varejao had already fouled twice and had to leave the game in the middle of the quarter!

Varejao has always been the Cavaliers' starter. Although his scoring ability is not strong, his presence can create enough breakthrough space for James. His position is undoubtedly very bad news for the Cavaliers!

In the eyes of professionals, the Cavaliers' troubles go far beyond Varejao getting into foul trouble.

"There is nothing Varejao can do about this foul. Facing Kobe in that position, he has only three choices. Pray to God that Kobe doesn't score, watch Kobe dunk, or go up bravely, and the price is a foul." Buck Lee said in the live broadcast room.

Barkley had a positive attitude towards Varejao, because there was nothing he could do about these two fouls. He just fulfilled his responsibility as a defender. There was nothing he could do about being fouled because he was facing Kobe. , so it should not be criticized.

"So what we should be thinking about is, why is it always Varejao?" Barkley asked a question.

"This is a good question. There is no doubt that the Cavaliers played well offensively before, but there were too many defensive loopholes. To put it simply, the Lakers were too fast to restrain the Cavaliers!" Smith said.

In the eyes of ordinary fans, it was an ordinary foul, but what they saw was the suppression of the Lakers' tactics. Because Ji Feng broke through under the cover of the twin towers inside, James could not completely defend it by himself, and West had to make up for it. Defense, Kobe missed it as soon as he covered it up, and Varejao had to block the eye-catching shot.

And why is it always Varejao? Because O'Neal can't go back!

This is the crux!

The Lakers made full use of Ji Feng and Kobe's speed and assault ability, constantly tearing apart the Cavaliers' defense and constantly consuming O'Neal's physical energy!

When he was young, O'Neal was a heavy tank. In the past, people with such a tall height, such a heavy weight, and such a strong body like O'Neal gave everyone the impression of being slow. But at his peak, O'Neal directly shattered people's stereotypes. O'Neal's speed can crush most of the league's centers inside. If he wanted to, he could definitely keep up with the rhythm of running and gunning at that time.

But now O'Pang is old. Injuries, age and excessive weight have made his movements slow. He no longer has the speed of his peak period on the court. He may be able to keep up once or twice, but throughout the quarter Running like this, O'Neal is beyond his capabilities.

So the fight between Ji Feng and Kobe was really like hitting a snake seven inches in the face, directly destroying the two major insiders of the Cavaliers!

Soon, after Varejao came off the court, O'Neal also took a rest due to lack of physical strength. He ran wildly with the Lakers for 8 minutes. He really couldn't do it anymore. This was at Staples. If he had been elsewhere, he would have quit. Wow, it’s so deceiving!

Mike Brown could only replace O'Neal with Big Z, but the effect was the same. It was still substitute power forward J.J. Proved why he can only play as a substitute.

3 fouls in a short period of time!

JJ Thixon is much better than Varejao! ~

Finally, the first quarter came to an end, with the two sides fighting 25-25. The Cavaliers barely maintained the score. James scored 18 points alone, which can be said to dominate the offensive end. Next door, Ji Feng scored 6 points, 8 assists and 5 rebounds. , Kobe Bryant scored 15 points. If you only look at the scores, James is undoubtedly more eye-catching.

However, anyone with a discerning eye knows that the Cavaliers are about to finish. Because of their inside line, O'Neal played 8 and a half points and scored 3 points before leaving the game. Big Z didn't even score a point. He just turned around and ran away. He was so out of breath when he left the field that it made people feel distressed. What's more serious is the fourth position. Varejao committed 2 fouls and JJ Xixon committed 3 fouls. How can the Cavaliers defend this position!

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Cavaliers were ready to continue running, but the Lakers suddenly changed their style of play. In the first quarter, the twin towers stood on the inside, and Ji Feng, Farmar, and Fisher were on the outside. Three people were responsible for feeding the ball in, and the game suddenly turned into a positional battle!

Gasol easily turned his back and scored the first goal. Varejao gave up after a symbolic defense. Regardless of whether he could defend it, he did not dare to make too big a move, because once they fouled, they might It's completely cold!

But Varejao still didn't escape. Gasol kept looking for him to hit him on the back. Ji Feng also went in his direction when he broke through. Although Varejao was careful and careful, he still got the third in the middle of the second quarter. fouled, and got his fourth foul at the end of the second quarter...

James: "..."

After halftime, due to the gap at the third position, James' 13 points in a single quarter were in vain. The Lakers scored 28-20 in a single quarter and entered the second half with an 8-point advantage.

JJ Xixon came back on the field with a tragic face at the beginning of the third quarter, and was quickly teased by Ji Feng. When he attacked from the inside again, Ji Feng went around in a big circle, just not breaking through from O'Neal's direction, using He played 4 pick-and-rolls and took 23 seconds to complete a very, very unique singles play.

But the whole audience was laughing very happily. Barkley's laughter was so loud that it was so loud that Gai Yin was trying to break through from the direction of JJ Xixon. After breaking in, Xixon very wisely got out of the way...

Bang!

Buzzer dunk!

"Good defensive brother." Ji Feng said to Xixon with a smile, not caring about Xixon's resentful eyes.

James was desperate. He wanted to complain, but he didn't know where to start. He had obviously tried his best, and Artest didn't play much. The Lakers obviously didn't use the top five lineups that defeated the Cavaliers in the last game, but the team Why did it collapse again!

The collapse was even worse later. Hixon received 5 fouls after 4 minutes. Mike Brown simply let him use his remaining heat on the court. As a result, Hickson was sent off after 3 minutes and became the first 6-year-old player in the game. The person who leaves the scene.

The Lakers home DJ is also a talented person. He obviously follows Ji Feng and knows a lot about Chinese songs. Jay Chou's thousands of miles away made Chinese fans all over the world laugh.

Now they only have Varejao, otherwise they will have to double-digit. Mike Brown knows with his toes that once he gets double-digit, the Lakers' running and gun attack will start instantly, so it depends on Varejao.

Varejao really did his best, and the number of fouls at the end of the three quarters was still 4. However, Gasol made 4 of 5 shots in the quarter and scored 8 points, playing very comfortably.

80-65, the Lakers silently took a 15-point lead. James scored 8 points in this quarter and an amazing 39 points in the third quarter, but it was still useless...

In the end, when Varejao committed six fouls in 8 minutes of the fourth quarter and left the game, the game came to an end. James scored a game-high 46 points, but the Cavaliers lost the game 90-104!
