Chapter 219 Record Breaking! LeBron's Recruitment!
"Beep!"
After Su Hao delivered his 17th block of the night, Coach Mike Brown called a timeout.
The score difference was 21 points at this point.
There are three minutes left.
The Cavaliers have very little chance of turning the game around tonight; they will not only lose, but suffer a crushing defeat.
The showdown between the top teams in the East and the top teams in the West, which resembled a preview of the Finals, ended in this way.
This is completely different from what everyone predicted before the match.
"Why?!"
Some fans are puzzled: "Why would they bother with the Clippers' paint area, where the Hulk has extremely fierce defensive capabilities?"
Why do they still charge into the basket without hesitation?
Why force yourself to jump into a fire pit?
"That's right. Knowing there are tigers in the mountains, yet still venturing into the tiger's den, allowing Su Hao to put on his hat 17 times in one night, that's not stupid behavior."
Both teams were first in their division, yet the final point difference was over 20 points; this is hard to accept.
In the commentary box.
Reggie Miller explained, "The Cavaliers are so great because of LeBron's exceptional individual talent."
crucial moment.
He is able to step up and use his individual skills to help the team score points, thereby influencing the game.
His way of influencing the game is by attacking the basket.
LeBron's monstrous physical gifts mean that whenever he gets going, he either scores or injures, putting pressure on his opponents.
but.
Tonight, he faces Su Hao, whose dominance in the penalty area is unparalleled.
Bending the frame won't solve the problem.
However, he lacks other strong and consistent outside finishing methods, which makes the Cavaliers' overall offense weak.
Catching up has become difficult.
The point difference would accumulate little by little over time, eventually leading to a difference of over 20 points.
"Yes."
Barkley nodded and continued, "The Cavaliers' only core player is LeBron."
LeBron's most effective way to solve problems is by driving to the basket.
When this tactic fails, LeBron's performance declines, and the Cavaliers as a whole struggle.
The Clippers vs. Cavaliers game, and the matchup between Su Suhao and LeBron, seem to be a natural counter.
This is just like the Eastern Conference Finals in last year's playoffs.
The Cavaliers, who were considered strong contenders for the NBA Finals, struggled to penetrate the Magic's paint, which was guarded by Dwight Howard.
When he was restricted.
The Cavaliers just couldn't play well, and in the end, the Magic won the Eastern Conference Finals, securing their ticket to the NBA Finals.
It turns out.
Last year's Magic were qualified for the Finals, but theoretically the Cavaliers, who were stronger overall, should have advanced.
pity.
Dwight Howard, with his overwhelming dominance in the paint, put some pressure on LeBron James.
This led to the Cavaliers' unexpected defeat.
Meanwhile, "The Hulk" Su Hao completely outplayed "The Beast" Howard, which allowed Su Hao to more easily suppress LeBron's drives to the basket, resulting in the Cavaliers losing by more than 20 points.
It seems... Su Hao is his nemesis.
Yes.
At his peak, Dwight Howard was able to dominate LeBron James.
Su Hao is LeBron's nemesis; he's like... a Warcraft plus version.
This explains why there's a difference of over 20 points between the top teams in the East and West during their peak matchups.
The two commentators' analysis was very accurate and insightful.
The fans suddenly realized.
The Cavaliers, who understood the situation perfectly well, didn't have many options at the moment, since they were a team led by a single star.
LeBron couldn't step up.
The entire team was unable to move an inch.
With a 21-point deficit and three minutes remaining, giving up now would be a waste, but struggling to keep going would be equally difficult.
soon.
Pause back.
Coach Mike Brown hasn't given up on the game yet, and perhaps he's not even thinking he can turn the tide.
But it is a rare encounter after all, and we must finish the match.
LeBron's attacks on the inside, where Su Hao is positioned, were not very effective. However, his ability to destroy the rim is still very strong.
The essential.
His passing was consistently excellent.
When teammates on the perimeter receive the ball, they are able to capitalize on any opportunities they have.
but.
This era is no longer the era of small ball; the main theme of the league is still attacking the basket and physical battles in the paint.
Even if they are unwilling or reluctant, they still need to have some offensive possessions to attack the paint and try to score in a way that they are more familiar with.
However, Su Hao's defensive ability in the penalty area is too strong.
17. Sealing.
To put it simply, they blocked at least 17 of the Cavaliers' attacks throughout the game.
That's not even a lot; Su Hao's defense caused a lot of interference.
The difference is obvious.
O'Neal rested for a full eight minutes in the final quarter before returning to the court.
If we didn't rest for so long.
He can't fight at all.
His repeated confrontations with Su Hao had taken a toll on him, and his wrinkled sharkskin could no longer withstand the strain.
Even after returning to the field, the results were not satisfactory.
At only 20 years old, Su Hao is full of energy and has the strength to bench press 320 kilograms.
Each confrontation, each fall, left O'Neal with a mask of pain on his face.
He gritted his teeth and persevered.
He could only grit his teeth and bear it.
He no longer cares about a point difference of more than 20 points or the possibility of losing the game.
He just wanted the game to end quickly.
He didn't want to defend anymore.
He couldn't defend against the Hulk, Su Hao, at all.
"If I were in my prime, I might still be able to compete with him, but not now. I can't take it anymore!"
O'Neal was on the verge of a breakdown.
"Whoosh!"
LeBron seems to be throwing caution to the wind, relentlessly pushing his bulldozing offense to the very end.
He attacked the basket again.
The two of them, Rasul and Gordon, couldn't stop him at all; it was Su Hao who came to the rescue.
Once again, he faced Su Hao, the Hulk who had already blocked him at least six times tonight.
Scared.
Even a player as strong as "King James" LeBron James had to be wary, but he remained calm.
Just as he seemed about to shoot, a slam pass found O'Neal under the basket on the right side.
David Lee didn't keep up.
Su Hao immediately focused his attention on LeBron.
O'Neal's chance.
"roar~"
O'Neal sensed his chance and, with a growl, grabbed the ball and launched himself up for a powerful dunk to salvage some pride.
Got it?
No.
His reactions were too slow, his bursts of speed too sluggish, he was... unable to jump anymore.
Just as he was about to slam the basketball into the hoop with both hands.
One second Su Hao was defending LeBron on the left side, the next second he turned around and chased after him, slapping O'Neal's dunk off.
It is impossible to cover it up.
"How can they catch up?"
O'Neal was utterly desperate.
Su Hao also delivered his 18th block of the night.
On the defensive end, he stopped LeBron's bulldozing offense and delivered an impossible block.
On the offensive end, Su Hao also single-handedly took on LeBron and O'Neal at the end of the game, using a tank-like crushing force to force his way to the basket.
High-profile attack.
"boom!"
Despite being blocked by both LeBron James and Shaquille O'Neal, he slammed the basketball into the basket.
The score difference is 23 points.
The knights were powerless to turn the tide.
Even though Morris hit two consecutive three-pointers at the end, LeBron also made a desperate three-pointer from a great distance.
Three three-pointers.
The Cavaliers then scored 9 consecutive points to narrow the gap to 14 points.
But time ran out.
Their final surge of energy, though not enough to turn the game around, did allow them to lose with a slightly more dignity!
