Chapter 67: Fire Wire Blocking
The fans were all excited. They stared at the two people in the competition on the field and shouted wildly.
The cheering sound was like a huge wave, as if it could overturn the roof. With the shouts of the fans, the atmosphere in the stadium was immediately pushed to a peak.
Suddenly, James moved and he broke through to Zhang Weifeng's left hand. Everyone knows that the left side of the right hand players usually have relatively large defensive loopholes because their right foot is not flexible enough.
Unfortunately, James' plan was wrong. Zhang Weifeng relied on his extremely flexible footsteps based on the NBA arena. Seeing James accelerated his breakthrough, Zhang Weifeng moved his feet and gently met him. At this time, the two people's bodies had already collided.
What was not expected happened. Zhang Weifeng was not pushed away by James as expected, but instead stuck even tighter. James was stunned, obviously surprised. His breakthrough just now was actually held back by someone, and a defensive player blocked his progress. He was also a Chinese player, a young man who was only 19 years old!!
The overlord step failed, and James was not panicked, but turned into a shot during the three-step layup. He protected the basketball with both hands. James used force under his feet. After strengthening Zhang Weifeng, his body floated back. At the same time, his wrist trembled and the basketball had been thrown out by him.
Zhang Weifeng did not jump, but raised his arms symbolically. After James shot, he suddenly turned over and rushed to the basket, and before everyone, he won his 15th rebound in the game.
Seeing that Zhang Weifeng actually defended James in this round, the fans shouted excitedly, and the atmosphere in the stadium was pushed to a new level.
When the Kings attacked, Zhang Weifeng was considered a pseudo-no. He did not stay in the penalty area, otherwise he would appear crowded.
Somons broke through the dribble, while Felton wandered from time to time, waiting for the reception to shoot. However, under the arrangement of James, a guy with extremely high ball quotient, the Cavaliers did not have the opportunity to attack easily.
However, at this time he ignored someone, Zhang Weifeng who was facing him.
When Zhang Weifeng saw James not paying attention to him, he moved his feet and had already left the three-point line, which was more than three meters away from James.
Somons had no chance to attack and did not dare to face the attack of Big Z like a giant. His eyes swept to Zhang Weifeng who was suddenly empty. He hesitated slightly and the basketball was thrown out by him.
Zhang Weifeng received the ball, and the cleanest three-pointer hit. The ball hit him and his score reached 8 points.
James was full of surprise. The reason why he did not keep a guard against Zhang Weifeng was because he thought that Zhang Weifeng was so tall, how could he have offensive ability on the outside, but unexpectedly, he gave Zhang Weifeng a comfortable shooting opportunity.
James also began to take it seriously after blaming himself for his carelessness.
Devin Brown was the only player who could score for the Cavaliers in the next few minutes. After being restricted by Somons for a period of time, he seemed to have started his explosive journey again. After three quarters, Devin Brown had already scored a double-double with 18 points and 10 rebounds. A double-double with three quarters, this game once again proved the saying "There will be spring on the bench."
The competition between Zhang Weifeng and James continued until the end of the third quarter. In the end, Zhang Weifeng got two rebounds, while James angrily sent two top boards, giving Somons and Miller respectively.
After the third quarter, the score was 84:78, and the Cavaliers led by only 6 points.
He sat on the bench on the sidelines, and the fans around him were still in a mess. Zhang Weifeng frowned. He didn't like such messy scenes very much, but he liked playing basketball, and this was an inevitable environment to adapt to.
After entering the professional arena, a player can be said to be unable to help. They will be exposed to the spotlight all day long and need to learn to deal with the outside world.
Looking at the side with trance, Zhang Weifeng wiped the sweat from his body, and his legs stretched out naturally, rubbing and saying: "I was tired today! Defending him is really not an easy thing! I hope that in the next step, I can find some ways to limit him! However, the time is still long, and I will not only compete with him like this, take it slowly! This is really unhurried."
Zhang Weifeng was very tired. His competition with James in the third quarter was very exhausting. The fourth quarter was the most critical time. Zhang Weifeng had to hurry up and adjust his condition and restore his physical strength.
The Kings players were all very excited, and the competition with the Cavaliers was a twist and turns.
The team has been able to get out of trouble many times and can compete with the Cavaliers that have taken off the air. The players are also full of fighting spirit and are full of expectations during the rest. On the Cavaliers, Mike Brown and James were discussing tactical issues, and the players around seemed to have not seen it, and they started chatting with smiles.
In their opinion, Captain James is essentially at the level of the Cavaliers' assistant coach.
After resting, the fourth quarter game officially began. The score was 84:78 and the battle continued.
Brown's lineup is: center: Big Z, power forward: Drew Gooden, small forward: LeBron James, shooting guard: Alexander Pavlovic, point guard: Daniel Gibson.
The Kings are: center: Mickey Moore, power forward: Brad Miller, small forward: Ron Artest, shooting guard: Randy Fery, point guard: Yuduri. Zhang Weifeng and Felton, who were in the starting lineup, were put off the court and rested by Seyus.
At the beginning of the game, Gibson used a pirated "Missing Step", passing through the crowd, making a layup, and the Cavaliers scored first, with a score of 86:78.
Two minutes later, the Cavaliers missed consecutive shots, and James even missed two free throws. This allowed the Kings to seize the opportunity. Yuduli made a three-pointer from the outside, and then Arte broke through and made a layup, making it 2+1. The Kings narrowed the score to 86:83.
When there were 9 minutes and 35 seconds left in the fourth quarter, James made a mistake in passing, but at this time, the little guy Gibson showed his strong and bloody side.
Gibson scored against Yuduri near the midfield. With his body almost flying out of the field, he threw the ball from behind his head to the frontcourt with his backhand. After Alexander grabbed the ball, he quickly launched an attack. When he reached the basket, he was the only two of him and James. The boss was by his side, Alexander passed the ball casually, James dunked with both hands, and he made an assist.
Subsequently, Miller made two mid-range shots from the outside, Moore desperately grabbed the rebound, and the Cavaliers fell into trouble again.
With 6 minutes and 11 seconds left in the game, Brown angrily called a timeout, with a score of 91:94. The Cavaliers were actually beaten by the Kings in the first half of the fourth quarter with a 16:7*.
"Good job, guys!! You guys are so good, so great!" Siyus looked at the people who were excited to return to the rest area, smiled and shouted loudly in joy.
In mainland China, fans who were regretting that there were no Cavaliers and Kings live broadcasts bored and opened the text page. However, they all shouted loudly, and the Kings had already surpassed the score. At halftime, they found that the Cavaliers were completely overwhelming the Kings, and they all thought that the one who greeted the Kings would be a crushing defeat. But after more than a quarter, the situation on the field had completely changed.
The timeout was very short, and the game was still going on. Zhang Weifeng sat on the sidelines, holding his head, and staring listlessly on the court. Obviously, the feeling of sitting on the bench was not very satisfying!
"Zhang Weifeng, come on." Seyus suddenly shouted at the bench.
After saying that, Zhang Weifeng quickly walked onto the field and replaced Hawyce who had been staying for less than two minutes.
Because Hawys could not defend against Big Z on the field, the Cavaliers scored a 6:1 counterattack within two minutes, overtaking the score by 2 points. Siyus had no choice but to switch Zhang Weifeng, who was resting, to the field.
"Next, you have to take on more offenses in the inside. Whether the team can win depends on your performance and Miller." Artai faced Zhang Weifeng and arranged in a low voice. The outside line of the Cavaliers has been opened. If the Kings want to win, the inside firepower is the key.
Zhang Weifeng nodded, his face was solemn, and the atmosphere on the court became tense.
"Who is the most critical player in this game?" This idea arose in the hearts of fans.
"Swish~~"
When the basketball passed through the white wave-like net bag and landed heavily on the ground, the crisp sound immediately aroused fiery applause in the arena.
Atai slowly pushed to the backcourt, and he threw a crucial three-pointer with 2 minutes and 45 seconds left in the game. The three-pointer made it and the scores of the two teams finally opened.
The Cavaliers began to struggle.
