Chapter 148
Stretched out three fingers, pressed down, and pointed to the free throw line. Without hesitation, the referee directly called Wagner for a thug foul. The Utah Jazz got three free throws.
Although Wagner knew that this was Lagabel's cheating foul, but he cheated so neatly that if he didn't want to, he could only pinch his nose and admit it.
At the free throw line, Garabel looked calm, took a deep breath, swish, swish, swish three times, and hit all three free throws.
Garabel's sudden outburst caught the Cavaliers' defense by surprise. However, Garabel's previous defense was too impressive, but he didn't have much threat on offense. Last season, he averaged only 3.5 points per game. This season was able to score 8.7 points, but everyone knows that it is because of the departure of the "Utah Shuangsha" and the increase in offensive shots, not because of Galabel's improvement!
Cavaliers head coach Paul Silas did not choose to adjust, but believed in the players on the field, even though he saw Wagner being blown up in consecutive offenses and defenses.
Elke Williams singled out Raul Lopez, who is 185cm tall, and hit it easily, and returned the color, which also made the Cavaliers think that the Jazz's weakness is still there, and their offensive firepower is no problem.
Unexpectedly, Garabel was in such a hot state. Not only did he prevent Wagner from finding his way on defense, but he could also repeatedly contribute murderous intentions on offense.
In the 6th minute of the second quarter, the Jazz attacked. Lopez dribbled the ball to the frontcourt and cooperated with Kirilenko in a pick-and-roll.
Dribbled the ball into the three-point line, was double-teamed by James and Elke Williams, and passed the ball directly without looking at anyone. There was a clear sound of the basketball hitting the floor, and the basketball landed precisely in the air. In the hands of Lagabel who cut inside, although his final attack was defended by Miles and Diop, he did not score. However, he grabbed the rebound and made a second attack, which caused Diop's thug foul and walked again. Get to the free throw line.
He hit two free throws steadily and scored consecutive points.
After realizing it, Paul Silas replaced Boozer and let Miles play shooting guard, but he still couldn't stop Lagabel's scoring.
Just 3 of 2 shots, Lagabel scored 13 points in a single quarter, but made 9 of 9 free throws. The threat on offense, frequently hitting the basket, or making fouls on outside shots, the performance of a superstar made people stunned. Broken glasses.
It doesn't matter if the offensive firepower is strong, but the defense is still fierce. Wagner and Myers, who were facing him, were directly beaten to the point where they couldn't hold their heads up.
The offense is extremely sharp, and the defense is impeccable!
Worse, I thought the Jazz went there to invite a superstar?
The leaking boat happened to rain overnight, and I don't know why?It's okay for Lagabel to explode suddenly, but the Cavaliers' offense is misfired!
The first is James' offense. Originally, he wanted to use his own support to thread the needle and revitalize the Cavaliers' offense. Come and give it a spin.
At the top of the three-point line, James caught the ball and faced the frame, posing in a three-threat pose.
Kirilenko changed positions to defend, lowered the center of gravity, one hand was high and the other was low, and he assumed a standard defensive posture, putting one step away.
James knew that his teammates were inaccurate in attacking, and it was impossible to pass the ball again, unless he didn't want to win, throw the game away, and bet on his teammates' touch, otherwise, he could only play by himself.
With simple probing steps, Kirilenko can easily keep up with his footsteps, reducing James' options for breakthroughs.
There is a chance for a three-point shot, but if the shot fails, how much morale will the Cavaliers have left?
This goal must be scored, and it is best to play it beautifully!
With a dignified face, James speeded up his dribbling rhythm. After stepping down the dribble continuously, he suddenly took two steps back, speeding up the dribble, striding forward with long legs, holding the ball in the middle to force Kirilenko, leaning on the opponent's body, killing Get inside the three-point line.
Taking a step sideways, James showed his true skills, opened the way with a crab step, and aggressively rushed to the right to the basket.
Kirilenko was not afraid of confrontation, took a step sideways, followed James' footsteps, and directly used his body to block James' breakthrough route.
James, who was almost forced to stop, did not use his body to force him, and immediately stepped down to dribble, shot the basketball from the right to the left, and took a step across.
Hold the ball with both hands at the free throw line and make a quick stop for a jump shot.
Kirilenko did not lose his balance in the center of gravity of the defensive body, and quickly turned back to catch up.
James paused for a moment, but he didn't choose to make an emergency stop for the jump shot. Instead, he clicked, changed direction again, and shot the basketball to the right.
Taking off from the basket, he wanted to split the dunk with one hand and dunk the basketball heavily into the basket.
Unexpectedly, Kirilenko was so difficult to deal with, chasing him from behind and jumping at the same time.
There was a bang, and James' dunk, which he was sure to win, actually went flying!
It turned out that Kirilenko had not waited for James to fly to the highest point, so he stretched out his hand to shoot directly. Even if he paid for a foul, he didn't plan to score a beautiful goal for James. At the same time, he also showed his own strong defensive side.
I would rather send my opponent to the free throw line than dunk easily!
James made one of two free throws from the free throw line. Although the Cavaliers' scoring account was opened, it still did not shake the Utah Jazz's determination to win.
Looking back, Kirilenko singled out James directly.
Directly dribbled the ball from the bottom line to cross the half court, without a half-point pause in the middle, directly held the dribble to break through, without any fake moves, directly relying on speed to make a strong breakthrough, and after reaching the free throw line, without the slightest hesitation, he just jumped up and pulled the ball Take the fadeaway jumper.
There was a crisp sound of wiping the net.
The basketball hit the net at the sound, and Kirilenko raised the knife in his hand and dropped James directly to the ground in front of him!
Moreover, pointing directly at the heart is very heart-piercing and glaring.
In this quarter, even in the face of James' defense, Kirilenko did not show any mercy. He made 4 of 4 shots.
He and Lagabel played outside double stars again, and jointly scored 22 points. The strong and efficient firepower directly blasted the Cavaliers' defense to pieces, and they couldn't find the north.
On the coaching bench of the Utah Jazz, Sloan did not expect his team's offensive rage to come so suddenly. After a few swipes, he actually gained the upper hand and established a big lead.
Originally, he thought that if he lost this game, he would lose!
Who would have thought that the Cavaliers retreated so quickly!
Even Boozer, who showed off his prowess in the first quarter, couldn't resist the Jazz's stormy offensive tide.
Garabel, what a surprise it brought him!
Or is the Project Energy Arena too scary?
If you can't figure it out, don't worry about it too much. Anyway, we have a great chance of winning tonight, and it can even be said that we have pocketed the victory.
At the end of the second quarter, the Utah Jazz scored 34 to 16 in the first quarter, leading the Cavaliers by 60 points 43 to 17 at halftime, and entered the locker room to rest.
