NBA: Opening breaks record

Chapter 62 The Top of the Forbidden City
The point difference was forced to close to 3 points.

James was completely angry, his eyes were red, and he continued to ask for a position in the elbow area.

One top, Siakam barely supported.

On the top again, Siakam is crumbling.

Three breakthroughs, the basket took off, no one dared to block, James swung his right arm to slam the basket.

After landing, he did not forget to show off his muscles, and the interest of the home fans was finally awakened a little.

The Raptors were in the frontcourt, seeing James raged, Siakam avoided his edge and sank to the bottom line.

It's not that he's afraid of him, it's just that it's unnecessary. Our team has other ways to attack.

Anunobi was replaced at the elbow, and Westbrook was facing him, who was also half a head shorter than him.

Anunobi made a jump shot directly. He was nearly 20 centimeters taller than Westbrook when he stood still.

The Lakers attacked, Westbrook broke through with the ball, passed the opponent to take off and dunk, the ball hit the neck of the basket and popped out.

Westbrook retreated in embarrassment, a little confused, this ball shouldn't be.

As soon as he entered the rivers and lakes, in the blink of an eye, Lei Ting's young man was already in his thirties.

His skills have become more and more proficient, but his body is no longer what it used to be.

The Raptors continued to beat Anunoby and continued to make jump shots.

The game slowly entered the rhythm of the Raptors.

James made a three-pointer, and the Lakers took a breather.

The Raptors became more and more courageous and continued to beat Anunoby.

This time, Westbrook took off and the thug fouled.

Anunoby made two free throws, the Raptors were only two points behind, and the scene was silent.

This season, his offensive ability was developed by Nass.

Now is the time for him to repay the coach.

The Lakers replaced Melon and Rivers, Westbrook and Monk rested.

James held the ball at the top of the arc, stopped for a long time, and passed Melon with his hand.

Melon missed a three-pointer, no matter how hot his hands are in the microwave oven, it is impossible for him to score a three-pointer every time he plays.

Anunobi continued to hit Melon singles, but this time he finally missed.

The Lakers' physical strength had problems, and no one protected the rebounds.

Watanabe Yuta made a contribution, rushed to grab the rebound, and passed it to Trent on the outside.

Trent shot directly, hit a three-pointer, and the Raptors led by one point.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Vogel quickly asked for a timeout.

What he is most worried about has come, and that is physical problems.

James' physical strength is in trouble. He played this game for a long time, and he had to defend Siakam, and he was out of breath.

But the score is behind, should James end now?
Vogel didn't dare, he called a timeout, just to let James get a rest, even if it was just a few minutes.

In the Tencent studio, the four commentators were very conflicted, and their palms were sweating.

No one expected that such a big change would take place in the fourth quarter.

What's even more embarrassing is that these seem to have happened after Yuta Watanabe played.

None of the commentators mentioned this, but they all knew that no matter whether Yuta Watanabe played a role or not, the fact before him was that after he played, the Raptors recovered and overtook the score.

They can accept the loss of the Lakers, but the premise is that Meng Hua must completely defeat Yuta Watanabe in the matchup.

Meng Hua didn't score many points this time, but he beat Watanabe six times and knocked him off the court. They had a collective climax.

But now, Watanabe is still on the court, and even rushed to grab offensive rebounds, how can he say he was blown up by you?

The reason is indeed not sufficient, TNT studio, Barkley has already emphasized that this civil war, Meng Hua lost.

O'Neill showed disbelief in his eyes, and said contemptuously: "No, you said my brother lost?"

Barkley nodded and said firmly: "Yes, he lost, so what if he blocked Watanabe for six? How many points did you see when he defended Van Fleet?"

Smith disagreed with Barkley, and analyzed: "Meng Hua directly faced Yuta Watanabe, but he beat him to shit. It was because he defended well that Vogel sent him to defend Van Fleet. It's just that Van Fleet felt very good today, and the rest of the Lakers didn't help defend well."

Barkley said: "Watanabe's supplementary defense, invisible moves, and rushing for rebounds all determine the game."

"The game is decided, are you sure?" Smith shook his head, not wanting to argue with him.

Barkley added: "Just like the Warriors, Curry is right to score, but do you think Green's role is small?"

O'Neill said: "Dream Chaser defends from 1 to 5, and he has to deal with the opponent's strongest character. Where is Watanabe? Sorry, I forgot who he defended."

Barkley said: "He defended well, so the opposing players disappeared."

Smith immediately said: "He defended Monk and Meng Hua. These two scored more than 10 points today, but they didn't disappear."

Ernie said: "The game is not over yet, maybe you will change your views."

Barkley said: "The Raptors are on the rise, and the Lakers will definitely lose, but they will not change their views. The truth is always in the hands of a few."

O'Neal said: "Indeed, there are three NBA players here, only you did not win the championship, you are right."

Barkley laughed, covering his face with his hands.

Back from the timeout, James and Rivers picked and rolled, and the Raptors switched defenses quickly.

Facing Yuta Watanabe, James showed his fierce face, and rushed in with the explosive bag without hesitation.

Yuu Watanabe pulled James down too aggressively.

James made one of two free throws, and the two sides tied for 93.

On the night of the full moon, on the top of the Forbidden City, the real decisive battle begins.

At the critical moment, the Raptors chose to play Van Fleet. They obviously believed that Siakam was not as sure of playing James as Van Fleet was playing Meng Hua.

Meng Hua knew it well, which aroused his competitiveness even more.

He used the "Dragon Binding Hand", and his eyes were blessed with fire breathing.

The scorching flame seemed to swallow Van Fleet.

How could Van Fleet be intimidated by him, who had been on the battlefield for so long? The corner of his mouth curled up into a sneer.

Almost at the same time, he exerted his strength, bent his knees, stretched out his right hand to open the way, and dribbled with his left hand.

Meng Hua took a step back, Van Fleet was already stuck in front of him, he continued to press sideways, maintaining a physical confrontation with him, even if it affected him a little, he had to work hard.

Rivers on the right made up for it and flanked Van Fleet.

Just now, James asked him to put his opponent on the left, and then Rivers emptied Yuta Watanabe to cover Fan Fleet.

He wanted to guard against Fleet alone. He didn't want Watanabe to have a space, but he also knew that with his current strength, he couldn't lock Van Fleet.

So he readily agreed that as long as the team can win, even if Yuta Watanabe scores 30 points, he must accept it.

The timing of Rivers' flank attack was chosen quite well.

Van Fleet saw the opponent double-team, and immediately sent the ball to Yuta Watanabe.

This is a complete vacancy.

Watanabe Yuta catches the ball, and there is no one three meters in front of him.

Bend your knees.

Jump off the ground.

Raise the arm.

Finger ball.

The ball flew in the air, drawing a perfect arc, as if it was going to fly to the top of the Forbidden City.

With a wonderful feeling, Yuta Watanabe finally smiled.

when!
The ball hit the rim hard and swished out again.

He hadn't shot for too long, and the ball he thought he was bound to score still flew.

He was very annoyed, and retreated immediately.

James nodded at Meng Hua.

How about my defensive strategy?

Meng Hua nodded his thanks.

Awesome!
