Chapter 79 Still a Giant Planet

The wind direction of the game seems to be slowly tilting towards the Cavaliers at this time. With the change of Yunchen's style of play, Leonard seems to have no way to limit his role on the court. Strong is only him personally, and the defense of the entire team has not yet reached the corresponding level.

42-47.

42-49.

42-52!

The score was constantly being pulled apart, and the Raptors seemed very flustered at this time. They were extremely uncomfortable with the Cavaliers after Yunchen changed their style of play. While they lost on the defensive end, they also encountered trouble on the offensive end.

For 2 minutes in a row, the Raptors failed to score a point and fell into a long scoring drought.The head coach of the Raptors once called a timeout, but it didn't work at all. At this time, Yun Chen had completely disintegrated their defensive system.

"Shua!" In the 3rd minute, Nance Jr. used Yun Chen's cover to force his way into the inside line, causing damage and scoring two more points!The difference between the two sides was widened to 12 points!
At this time, a smile finally appeared on Yunchen's face. He felt that he had found the feeling of playing before. No matter how the opponent changed, he could find a way to solve it.

"Haha, Li, your cover is really great!" After the goal, Nance came over excitedly and patted Yun Chen on the head. His personal score had already reached 6 points.

Seeing this, Yun Chen touched his nose with his hand, and said with a smile on his face, "Keep playing like this, and win the game with all your might!"

"Shh!"

However, when Yunchen and Nance Jr. were chatting and laughing during their return to defense, someone outside the three-point line pulled up a jumper in obscurity and directly scored a three-pointer! 45-54.

The point difference between the two sides was pulled back to single digits!

"Ah..." Yun Chen was taken aback when he saw this, and immediately turned his head to look in the direction of the basketball.

The Raptors actually broke the scoring drought, and still scored a three-pointer?This made Yunchen feel a little surprised. Before that, they had already made 4 for 0 shots.

Outside the three-point line, Leonard had just finished shooting, then quickly withdrew his hand, turned around and ran back to defend without any additional actions.

"..." Yun Chen opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

I played so much fun just now that I even forgot that the Raptors still have the superstar Leonard on the court, so they unknowingly let down their vigilance on defense and were taken advantage of by the opponent.

"Careless." He shook his head and ran to the frontcourt to prepare to attack.

The Cavaliers attacked, and Hill slowly came to the frontcourt with the ball. At this time, Yunchen wanted to run up to cover, but was stuck by Leonard again.

Seeing this, Hill broke through and wanted to give the ball to the inside. After some fake moves, he successfully broke through and passed the ball to Nance Jr., who caught the ball and played with his back.

However, all of a sudden, Yun Chen felt a black shadow flash by in front of his eyes at an extremely fast speed, and he directly shook his eyes. When he realized it, Leonard who was by his side had disappeared!
"Huh?" Yunchen was horrified, and hurriedly looked inside. Sure enough, he saw Leonard's back there. He actually gave up defending Yunchen and went inside to double-team Nance with their power forward!

"Nance, be careful!" Yun Chen hurriedly shouted to remind, but it was too late.

Nance Jr., who was playing back, was all focused on the defender behind him, and didn't notice Leonard running over here at all.

"Crack!" Leonard's judgment and strength are so precise that it is unbelievable. With just one touch of the ball, he directly completed the steal against Nance!

"Ah!" Nance was shocked, and raised his hands upwards to make a foul, but the referee simply ignored him.

In an instant, the Raptors launched a counterattack. Leonard took the ball and rushed straight to the Raptors' frontcourt. Because Yun Chen was too slow to start, he had no time to return to the defense.

"BNAG!" With a dunk, Leonard said quickly, dunking with both hands to complete the score! 47-54.

In this way, the point difference between the two sides was reduced to 7 points. At this time, Leonard once again showed his incomprehensible personal ability!

"Huh!" A gust of wind whizzed past, Leonard ran past Yun Chen, his face still expressionless, as if this matter had nothing to do with him.

Yun Chen: "..."

The second time, just like before, Leonard can always force himself to support the team when the situation is not good.

"Beep!" At this time, Tyronn Lue applied for a timeout to the referee. He was beaten 5-0 just after he started his momentum, and his face sank again.

"Li, you are too careless!" Tai Lun stared at Yun Chen who was slowly walking back to the bench.

Yun Chen lowered his head and did not speak. He was also aware of his problem, but it could not be completely blamed on his lack of concentration. The second ball was completely completed by the opponent with his own personal ability.

Simply put, it is a giant planet, unreasonable.

During this timeout, the Cavaliers once again adjusted the lineup on the field.

Zizic was replaced by Thompson, Love replaced Nance Jr., Clarkson replaced Hill, and Korver was replaced by JR.

Obviously, Tyronn Lue wants the team to slow down the pace. After all, they are leading now, and there are only more than 2 minutes left before the end of the second quarter.

After a while, the game continued.

The Raptors adjusted the shooting guard and center, but Leonard and Lowry were still on the court.

The game continued and the Cavaliers attacked.

Because Love is on the field, they consciously play positional battles, and the ball has been passing back and forth from the outside and mid-range to look for offensive opportunities.

Time-consuming, the Cavaliers have to enter the second half with a leading attitude.

However, the Raptors are clearly not prepared to make them happy.

Hill passed the ball, wanting to pass it to Yunchen who is near the middle distance and then give it to Love inside to form an inside singles, but his passing intention is too obvious, and it gave Leonard next to Yunchen a chance , the latter did not hesitate to see it, and directly reached out to cut it off.

"Crack!" The steal was successful, and the Raptors launched a counterattack again, but this time the attacker was no longer Leonard, but Lowry, who rushed to the frontcourt with the ball.

Although the player Lowry looked really fat, he had to say that he was really fast, and Hillen, who was chasing behind him, couldn't catch up.

Lowry made a quick layup and scored two points. 49-54.The scores of the two sides were narrowed to 5 points.

The advantage that Yunchen led the team just gained was exhausted in an instant.

Fortunately, in the next round, Kevin Love found a chance to score a two-pointer from the mid-range, stabilizing the situation on the field.

However, the Raptors did not show any weakness, and it became the performance time of Leonard and Lowry.

Lowry held the ball and organized an offense from the outside. Leonard found an opportunity to run all the way from outside the three-point line to the inside.

The situation seems to have returned to that balanced situation.

Yun Chen's role is still there, but the opponent relies on the personal abilities of the two stars Leonard and Lowry to bite the score.

Not long after, the first half ended. 53-56, the Cavaliers led by three points.
