Chapter 718 718. Sudden Bad News
For players who are over [-] years old but in good physical condition, skills will not be a problem, speed, agility or even jumping will not be a problem, the only problem is physical fitness.
This is especially true for James. His best two years at the age of 28 and nine were squeezed too hard by the Heat. The effect of playing in these two years is really good, but once he tries his best, there is still a big problem. The problem is that it is easy to cramp.
The problem of James' cramp has been bothering him since the 2012-2013 season.
Today James played from the start to the middle of the second quarter without resting for a second, and because of the strong sense of oppression brought by the Lakers, he had to do his best from the beginning until the 5th minute of the second quarter At the time, he finally committed his old problem again, and fell to the ground and covered his calf just as he was about to speed up his dribble.
This is too familiar to the Cavaliers. It happened more than once in the playoffs last year. This year’s playoffs were a little easier, but they started to commit again in the finals. Tyronn Lue quickly called a timeout, and the team doctor came up immediately deal with.
When James was still there, the Cavaliers and the Lakers' second team could still rely on James to hold the score, and there was a little momentum to chase points back. After all, this guy is called James.
But as soon as James went, he replaced another guy named James...Johnson. It's 12 minutes!
After more than two minutes of game time, a wave of 12 to 2 was played, and the Lakers played directly so that James asked to play regardless of the soreness in his calf.
Tyronn Lue's small arm can't twist James' thigh, so he can only use the main lineup.
The Lakers also replaced all the starters.
Friends who have experienced cramps while playing basketball know that cramps are a kind of pain, and they directly affect the nerves. If the cramps are not completely relieved after massaging and continue high-intensity exercise, they will come back soon. There was a wave of pain that seemed to pull the soul, and the feet were completely uncontrollable.
So, within a few minutes of playing, and before the end of the second quarter, James had another cramp and was replaced...
The team without James and the team with James are completely two teams. Compared with James and Love, Irving and Love are less likely to call. The two started a one-on-one singles.
But Love's singles ability has long been inferior to before after losing weight. Now he is similar to Bosh after losing weight during the Heat. Except for shooting three-pointers, he is not very impressive. No more, being guarded by Green almost doubted his life.
On Owen's side, Liu Ren, who was rested long enough as a pitcher in the first half, was almost unable to take care of himself with his fierce defense.
In the last two minutes of the second quarter, the Cavaliers were once again scored by the Lakers.
After halftime, the Lakers have led the Cavaliers by 61 points 39 to 22!
……
Trailing by 22 points at halftime at home, the Cavaliers collapsed, shattered in the second quarter by what could be considered an injury but wasn't an injury.
If James has the physical fitness of a 26-year-old, he can play the entire game, or even the entire series, so he might still be able to fight the Lakers.
But Old Man Time is cruel, and his ability is irreversible. James is almost 32, no longer the little emperor in his 20s, and has become what people call a [-]-year-old man.
After the start of the second half, James continued to play after a 20-minute break. He didn't want to admit defeat!
But the reality is cruel. The rest of the Cavaliers have been beaten to pieces, and the Lakers further suppressed the Cavaliers after the start of the third quarter.
Halfway through the third quarter, the Lakers have led the Cavaliers 82 to 50 by 32 points!
The official timeout is approaching, and the Lakers have the ball. Liu Ren saw that D'Antoni had asked LaVine, McCollum, Nick Young, Monroe, Biyombo and others to take off their training uniforms, and knew that D'Antoni was going to replace the team It's time to play garbage, that is, I have to download it myself.
The Cavaliers' bench lineup also took off their training clothes. It seems that Tyronn Lue was about to call a timeout to accept the failure.
The Cavaliers can't let James continue to fight. In this game, James had to rest except for cramps. He didn't rest for a second at other times, and he kept playing hard. He scored 35 points in less than three quarters, but the rest of the Cavaliers Added up to less than half of his points.
Is there still a game like this to be played?Tyronn Lue is ready to surrender.
So this time Liu Ren directly asked Antetokounmpo for the ball after halftime, and he was going to end the game with a single!
Even draw a footnote for this finals!
As for the last game?Liu Ren has already seen despair in the eyes of the Cavaliers players!
What is the best position to throw the ball in?Of course it's a dunk!
Liu Ren was dribbling the ball outside the three-point line, and Afflalo almost gave up defending. In this round of the series, he never really defended Liu Ren once.
The point is that Liu Ren played too cunningly. He didn't intend to single out at all. He would either shoot a three-pointer directly, or use a pick-and-roll, or even give the ball to the two-meter-one point guard to take the ball and make an air cut. , This left Afflalo, who is good at defending the ball and attacking, helpless. Liu Ren scored 37 points per game. Liu Ren scored another 30 points after three quarters today.
Liu Ren saw that Afflalo's defense was loose, so he broke through without hesitation, ran over Afflalo and entered the inside line.
The two inside players of the Cavaliers are Mozgov and Tristan Thompson. The two retracted immediately. Anyway, both of them are defensive players. Even at this time, they still have to do their part.
Afflalo also chased after being passed, and it was too unreasonable to let the opponent drive straight in without even chasing.
Two people in the front, one person in the back, Liu Ren was flanked by three people...it doesn't exist.
Mozgov and Tristan Thompson have already reached the point of putting on airs. Seeing that Liu Ren is determined to dunk, they seem to be flanking the basket, but in fact they all give way, otherwise they will be dunked and defensively fouled , Sending points to the opponent in vain.
However, sometimes accidents just come so suddenly.
Liu Ren is too fast!Mozgov and Tristan Thompson just shrank back and tried to avoid it, but they were still a little slower, and Afflalo behind him couldn't hold back.
When Liu Ren rushed up to dunk the ball into the basket, he bumped into the two people in front of him, and Afflalo bumped into him again. Liu Ren lost his balance and stepped on the ground when he landed. On the feet of Mozgov!Almost turned 90 degrees!
