This was a bit sudden. Not only Hill was fooled, but other players of the Cavaliers were also fooled and they were unable to come to the rescue in time.

Swish!

Zhuang Yu made an easy layup and the score difference became 9 points.

The Cavaliers attacked, and Rose was still advancing with the ball. After reaching the frontcourt, he looked at James. James ran back and Rose immediately passed the ball to James.

At this time, Rose, Hill and Love all moved to the three-point line, leaving only TT in the low post. James glanced at the basket and gestured to TT.

TT comes up for pick and roll.

Now there is no Cavaliers player in the interior, James has already made a gesture of breaking through, and the Lakers quickly shrink their defense line.

However, James ignored it and waited for TT to come up for a pick-and-roll before breaking through resolutely. However, he did not do it recklessly.

After the pick-and-roll formed a switch, he paused for a moment, then accelerated again and passed Lopez in one go. Anderson made up for the defense, and Zhuang Yu also moved closer, but James suddenly did a European step, passed Anderson, and made a layup against Zhuang Yu's defense.

Zhuang Yu jumped up to block the shot, but ultimately failed to do so.

Although James's play seemed freehand, it was actually very clever. Not to mention getting past Lopez, the key was using the European step to get past Anderson.

Because Anderson has enough height and wingspan, if James faces Anderson for a layup, he may be blocked. But as long as he passes Anderson, Zhuang Yu is not as tall as James, so it is not so easy to block James' layup.

So even though they pulled away and told others that they were going to break through, the Lakers still couldn't defend the ball.

This is James!

Swish!

The score difference became 7 points again.

At this time, there were only more than two minutes left in the game, and the Lakers began to press the time.

After arriving at the frontcourt, Holiday was not in a hurry to launch an attack. Instead, he wandered outside the three-point line for a while, then called for a pick-and-roll, pretended to break through, and then passed the ball to Zhuang Yu.

At this time, there were only 10 seconds left for the offense. After getting the ball, Zhuang Yu took action immediately. He first dribbled the ball between his legs, lowered his left shoulder, and rushed out like a cheetah. Hill quickly retreated and turned sideways, and Love also moved over here to help Hill defend.

Just as Zhuang Yu was about to be caught in the double-team, he suddenly stopped and took a jump shot.

"Humph."

Hill snorted coldly, jumped up immediately, stretched out his arms to block the shot, and Love also jumped up, and the two of them pounced on Zhuang Yu together.

However, Zhuang Yu's shot was not a simple quick stop jump shot, but an extreme fade away, with his body leaning backwards with a huge amplitude. Even with Love's height, he could not block it.

Of course, this kind of fadeaway jump shot is very difficult.

However, Zhuang Yu is not only good at three-pointers, fadeaway jump shots are also one of his special skills.

After his three-point shooting ability improved, Zhuang Yu began to focus his training on fadeaway jump shots. Perhaps it was because he broke through the bottleneck of three-point shooting that his shooting ability underwent a transformation, and his fadeaway jump shot also improved a little bit compared to before.

The reason why it's just a little bit is because his fadeaway jump shot was already very strong, and improving it just a little bit would almost reach its limit.

He has already felt some kind of bottleneck.

Originally, his pull-up jump shot was not as good as his three-point shot. It took him so long to break through the bottleneck and reach a higher level with the three-point shot. It is difficult to improve his fadeaway jump shot in a short period of time.

But even the current state is enough.

Swish!

With a slight sound, the basketball drew a high arc and finally fell into the net.

The arc of a fadeaway jump shot like this has to be high, because it's a fadeaway, so your shooting point is definitely not as high as a direct jump shot.

And you need to avoid the defender's block, so the arc of the shot must be high, unless you have the height and wingspan like Durant.

But if you have the height and wingspan of Durant, there is no need to use the fadeaway jump shot.

After this goal, the score difference returned to 9 points again.

This made coach Tyronn Lue frown, and he immediately called a timeout.

After several players came off the court, he made some new arrangements, mainly emphasizing the defense against Zhuang Yu and his own offense.

With a 9-point difference and only two minutes left, the situation was very unfavorable for the Cavaliers.

......

After the timeout, both sides returned to the court.

The Cavaliers still targeted James, but James did not rush to the basket with the ball directly. Instead, he attracted the defense and took advantage of the Lakers' double-teaming to pass the ball to Love, who made a three-pointer.

Because there is not enough time, it is not enough to just score two points at a time. It is best to have a three-pointer at this time.

However, Love failed to hit the target.

Fortunately, TT grabbed the frontcourt rebound and passed the ball to the outside. After receiving the basketball, Rose made a decisive shot from outside the three-point line.

This time it went in.

"nice shot."

"Rose played really well today."

The Cavaliers fans cheered.

Coach Tyronn Lue couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, this three-pointer was so crucial.

"Rose did play well today, but it's not that easy to turn the tables." Zhuang Yu narrowed his eyes and asked Holiday after reaching the frontcourt. He then lowered his center of gravity, first took a step forward, then dribbled the ball behind his back, and quickly stepped back, with his feet moving back outside the three-point line.

This time, Zhuang Yu did not pass the ball again. He played very cleanly and decisively. After retreating outside the three-point line, he jumped up directly and took a three-point shot.

With a swish, go in again.

Now all the home fans jumped up excitedly and the whole stadium was boiling.

Rose just made a three-pointer, narrowing the gap to 6 points, and Zhuang Yu immediately made an answerball, widening the gap to 9 points again.

This ball is so powerful.

"Ah..." Ross sighed inwardly and shook his head, feeling somewhat helpless. "Zhuang Yu's three-point shot is really unstoppable right now."

There was only a little over a minute left in the game, and the Lakers failed to score in the next two rounds. James of the Cavaliers attacked the basket and was fouled, and scored two points at the free throw line. The gap between the two sides was narrowed to 7 points, but there was less than a minute left in the game.

Coach Tyronn Lue called another timeout and made new arrangements.

But at this point, it doesn't matter whether or not to make tactical arrangements. The Cavaliers' style of play is very simple, which is to give the ball to James.

At this time, James still showed his unparalleled personal strength. He first broke through and made a turnaround jump shot, then grabbed the rebound and quickly counterattacked to score. In the last minute, he scored 4 points alone.

However, Lopez also scored a goal for the Lakers.

The difference between the two sides was still 5 points, and there were only a few seconds left in the game. It was all over for the Cavaliers.
