Chapter 55 stalemate
Long after Li Yunchen scored this goal, Ayton stood under the Suns basket in a daze on the field.

This is really the first time he has seen this kind of tactic, and there are really teams that will completely give up the inside in order to get opportunities outside the three-point line!How confident do you have to be in your own three-pointers to dare to play like this?
Even the Suns led by Mike D'Antoni, the former running and bombing master, had a symbolic Stoudemire grabbing rebounds inside, but the current Cavaliers don't even bother to do the appearance!

Seeing the back of Li Yunchen going away amidst the cheers of the home fans after shooting, Ayton began to panic again.

At this time, there are 40 points left from the 24 points he predicted.Moreover, it is only the beginning of the second quarter!

"Snoring..." Ayton swallowed, then wiped the sweat off his brow before slowly walking towards the other half.

The game continues, the Suns have the ball.

After being hit by the Cavaliers for a three-pointer, the Suns, who were playing extremely smoothly just now, suddenly lost their rhythm. At this time, the players on the field were all slower than before.

However, they have not been defeated yet, and their minds are still very clear. They are not eager to chase points, but slowly dribble at the top of the arc to organize the attack.

Judging from the current lineup, they can try outside shots.

After all, the Cavaliers' perimeter defense is not strong now, and the weak individual defensive capabilities of Korver and Seth Curry can be used as their breakthrough.

However, Knight still hesitated.

Because at this time, the Cavaliers' defensive formation is a bit strange. Li Yunchen, a small forward, is defending Knight, a point guard, at the top of the arc. Korver defends Booker on the left and right wings, and Seth Curry defends Warren.

It stands to reason that Warren should be given singles at this time. After all, he is a big misplaced, but he does not have long-range shooting ability, and the mid-range is not stable enough. If he is allowed to break through, the height of 2 meters Zizic inside is not good. For display, it is also difficult for Warren to score under the overwhelming defense.

Moreover, because Li Yunchen's lateral movement speed is the same as his vertical speed, which is quite fast, and he can assist in the left and right defenses in time, so Knight immediately encountered difficulties. The three outsiders are not a good choice for anyone.

Invisibly, Yunchen restrained the Suns' entire perimeter attack by himself!
Try to shoot yourself?This idea flashed through Knight's mind, but although he can shoot three-pointers, his accuracy is not high, and this is not a good choice.

After thinking about it again and again, he finally passed the ball high to Ayton, who was in the inside position.

The inside line is the only point in their current lineup that can score stably.

Ayton received the ball and faced Zizic's defense, he still pushed in hard like the previous few times.

"Bang, bang, bang!" After the back hit, he made a fake move to the left, perfectly deceiving Zizic's defense, and then took the ball from the right for a layup.

"Shua!" Two points scored! 36-36.

The ease made Ayton feel very unreal. The Cavaliers just came back and their momentum changed drastically. The powerful aura was even stronger than the starters. Just let yourself score easily like this?
"Shua..." However, just when he was deeply suspicious of this, the situation on the court had suddenly changed.

Zizic seemed to have known in advance that he would definitely score a goal. The first second after being scored, he picked up the ball and ran across the baseline to serve!
"Wow!" The basketball flew past Ayton's ear at high speed, and the wind even blew his hair.Zizic's movements were extremely smooth, and in an instant a long pass threw the ball near the three-point line!

"What!" Ayton's eyes were tearing apart, and the opponent's counterattack was so fast that he was horrified.

"Crack!" Outside the three-point line, it was Li Yunchen who was already waiting there!

Yunchen received the ball, then turned around and directly increased his speed. His super explosive power once again left Knight far behind.

"Stop him!" Knight knew he couldn't catch up, and immediately called out loudly, and another person followed him in front of him on the left.

Warren, he actually returned to defense early, and at this time he could barely keep up with Yun Chen's speed.

"Bang!" Yun Chen dribbled the ball, took a step forward, and took off with one hand holding the ball about 2 steps past the free throw line. This dunk is bound to be scored!
But at this moment, he saw a person in his peripheral vision.

Near the bottom corner of the three-point line, a person has just arrived and has just stabilized his figure!

Seth Curry, his sense of running without the ball is so good, even without the ball in his hand, he still followed to find the shooting position!

Immediately, Yunchen made a seemingly crazy decision.

For this shot, if he hits it by himself, he will almost surely score a dunk. Even with Warren's defense, he is not afraid, because Warren's take-off height is not as high as his, so it shouldn't have much impact.

But he still chose to pass the ball, and at the moment he was about to dunk in, he turned around and passed the ball across!
"Wow!" The audience exclaimed, they were even ready to celebrate Yun Chen's dunk, but the cheers were stuck in their throats.

"Crack!" At the bottom corner, Seth Curry was taken aback. He just came here as an insurance to prevent Yunchen from being stopped. He really didn't expect to catch the ball.

So for a moment, he froze there.

But in just a moment, he adjusted back and became that cold-blooded and ruthless outside killer on the field again!
In the NBA, everyone in the Curry family, as long as they stand outside the three-point line, no one will be soft!
Although the movement is different from his brother Stephen, Seth Curry's shooting speed is also extremely fast. Booker on his side has already rushed over with his fastest speed to block the shot, but it was too late.

"Wow!" He could only watch Seth Curry throw the ball, and a very sinful curve appeared in front of his eyes.

"Shua!" A voice that was almost exactly the same as Li Yunchen's three-pointer just now, without touching the frame at all, the crisp Nets' voice resounded throughout the audience, and scored a three-pointer!
"Wow!" What followed was a thunderous roar and tsunami from the audience again! 39-36.

Unsolvable three points!After Seth Curry came on the court, the Cavaliers scored two consecutive three-pointers, pulling the score that was still caught up just now!
Almost everyone in the Suns breathed a sigh of relief. What kind of scoring method can make the opponent most desperate?

There is no doubt that it must be a three-pointer. You have worked so hard to score a two-pointer, and others will return you a three-pointer. It is impossible to say that it is not uncomfortable.

So at this time, Ayton started to be in a daze again, standing there in a daze near the center line.

"FXXK!" He cursed, and once again fixed his eyes on Li Yunchen who was about to return to defense. He even felt that this yellow boy was not like an ordinary substitute?It is a well-deserved superstar of a team!

Unsolvable three-pointers and individual singles on the offensive end, one person on the defensive end restricts the powerful deterrence of the three outsiders on the opposite side, Ayton seems to see the shadow of LeBron James in him in a trance.

The Suns have played against the Lakers before, and when he faced James, he felt this way now.

The game continued, although two three-pointers were shot in a row, but the head coach of the Suns did not call a timeout in a hurry.

Because he understands that the Cavaliers' three-point tactics are sharp, but they also have shortcomings.That is, no matter how sure you are, it is impossible to guarantee that the three-pointer can be scored stably. This is the inherent flaw of this tactic.

Sure enough, in the next round, the Cavaliers' outside line Yun Chen made a shot and hit the iron.

So at this time on the field, the two sides have reached a stalemate.

The Suns continued to rely on Ayton's personal offense to force two points from the inside and two points, with a success rate of almost [-] to [-]%.

As for the Cavaliers, although the three-pointers were still terribly accurate, they also missed a few shots. The two sides just like this, you two points and I three points, and the game entered a stalemate.

Time, minute by minute.
