Chapter 125

These three blocked shots also shocked the Cavaliers.

They didn't expect Su Pan to be able to defend Love in this way.

Not far away in the commentary booth, Charles Barkley looked at the dazed Cavaliers on the court and sighed.

"Facts have proved that Su Pan's single defense strength is already the best in history."

"Even Kevin Love, who prefers to play from the outside, has a nightmare when facing Su Pan."

Kenny Smith nodded in agreement.

Just as Barkley said, Love really has no way to deal with Su Pan.

He tried several times but failed to gain much advantage over Su Pan.

Even in the next few minutes, after receiving the ball, Love hesitated whether to shoot or not.

It was during his hesitation that Su Pan successfully defended him in the face.

This made Love miss many open shots.

Su Pan alone killed the adjustments made by the Cavaliers.

Because Love was not tall enough, the Cavaliers' defensive rebounding was poor.

Su Pan also relied on With the height advantage, he won many second-chance attacks.

At the end of the first half, Su Pan had scored 35 points and 16 rebounds, and had 7 blocks.

However, the Lakers still did not widen the score difference, because Irving and James of the Cavaliers played very well.

The space is wide, and the two people's ability to kill the inside is top in the league.

No one on the Lakers can limit these two people.

Even Kobe can only interfere with Irving at present, and there is no way to effectively limit him.

As the saying goes, the old is afraid of the young.

During the halftime break, Kobe was also knocking on his sore knees, constantly sighing

"Old, old"

"I have to admit that I am old."

"The youngsters nowadays are really good at dribbling."

The Lakers teammates around sighed.

Tonight, Irving continued his strong personal style when facing Kobe.

All kinds of fancy dribbling, coupled with Irving's excellent breakthrough sense.

With Kobe defending Irving, Irving still scored 20 points and 6 assists in the first half.

Not to mention James, who broke through even more violently.

This game forced Kobe and Thaddeus Young to both have three fouls.

If this continues, in the third quarter, the Lakers are likely to have someone on the team who will be the first to commit four fouls.

Head coach Byron Scott also frowned.

Irving and James are indeed not something that the Lakers' outside players and forwards can defend.

In the locker room at halftime, the atmosphere of the Lakers was obviously not right.

Everyone knew that they were holding Su Pan back.

Seeing that everyone's expressions were painful, Su Pan took the initiative to walk to Byron Scott's side.

"coach"

"I'll guard LeBron."

"Kevin Love, just let PJ Tucker help me out first.

Byron Scott showed a surprised expression

"You come?"

"Not that it's impossible……"

Byron Scott rubbed his chin and finally made up his mind

"In this case"

"Su, LeBron is in your hands!"

Su Pan led the team back to the court amid everyone's surprise.

The second half of the game began, and the Cavaliers' first attack began.

James had just received the ball in the backcourt and was walking forward when a commotion immediately broke out.

James noticed the commotion on the court and was slightly startled. He turned around and saw Su Pan near the free throw line.

From the position, the other Lakers players had found the people they were going to defend, and only the space in front of Su Pan was empty.

James himself was also startled.

In the commentary booth, Charles Barkley held the edge of the table with his hand and exclaimed to the fans:

"The Lakers played well in the second game and may make adjustments in the third quarter."

"Wait a moment!"

"The Lakers did make adjustments here. They let PJ Tucker take charge of Love."

"Su Pan is actually going to defend James one-on-one?!"

The fans at the scene were also exclaiming.

Everyone's eyes were focused on this matchup on the court with a huge gap in both position and height.

Although everyone knows that James is an all-around forward who can play from position 1 to position 5.

But James has never had a single player defending him in a one-on-one situation in his career when he was over 2.15 meters tall.

In other words, James never thought that one day the center would come to defend him alone.

After all, the center is against the small forward.

The center who can keep up with James' speed is not as strong as James.

The center who is stronger than James can't keep up with him in speed.

James was very excited when he saw Su Pan.

At this moment, he was also two His eyes lit up.

The inside is afraid of the big players beating the small ones, and the outside is afraid of the small players beating the big ones.

This is the best opportunity for the small players to beat the big ones. As long as he scores, the media will definitely brag about him crazily after the game.

Facing Su Pan, James also dribbled continuously on the outside, looking for a breakthrough position.

After all, Su Pan's arm span is there, and it is definitely not an easy task to get past him.

After several consecutive attempts to break through, James still couldn't get rid of Su Pan.

At this moment, he suddenly shivered, pulled his feet, and prepared to step back and shoot a cold arrow.

Bang!

What came as a result was a slap from Su Pan.

Counting this block, Su Pan has already got his 8th block in this game.

Su Pan looked at James, who failed to shoot a cold arrow, and raised his eyebrows.

"Is your Cavaliers' style of play to be blocked constantly?"

James' eyes froze.

Love's face darkened.

Irving's face wasn't looking good either.

Of Su Pan's 8 blocks tonight, the three of them combined to give at least 7.

In Su Pan's eyes, James's rash shot was tantamount to asking for a block.

The gunpowder smell on the court instantly thickened.

The players on both sides were also gearing up to fight in the third quarter.

But soon, after the game started again.

As the absolute core of the Cavaliers, James realized that something was wrong.

After the ball was re-served, because there was little time left for the offense, James could only hastily catch the ball and shoot at the three-point line. At the moment of the shot, Su Pan rushed over and interfered with the basketball.

The basketball did not touch the basket and became a three-pointer, which also turned the Cavaliers' offense into 2 Take 4 seconds as an example.

James scratched his head awkwardly, feeling a little embarrassed.

He didn't expect Su Pan's defense area to be so large. What shocked him even more was that Su Pan was very efficient in defending him. He couldn't even get past Su Pan with his footsteps.

The key to James' game is that those who are stronger than him are not as fast as him.

Players who are faster than him don't weigh as much as James, so James can use his strength to overcome them.

Su Pan is not only stronger than James, but also not behind in speed.

This is embarrassing.

He can't get in when playing with his back to the basket, and he can't get past the opponent when playing from the outside.

If he wants to shoot, he has to consider whether the opponent will risk him.

James also experienced what Love felt tonight.

But at least James has other functions, he can pass the ball.

Relying on assists to his teammates, the Cavaliers gradually began to score.
