Facing Zhao Qiang's defense, Van Exel planned to repeat his old trick and use the probing step again, hoping to shake Zhao Qiang's center of gravity.

Although he talked about making a breakthrough, the cunning Van Exel had no such plan at all, and he still wanted to make a three-point shot.

In the last round, when Zhao Qiang was helping to defend on the weak side, he had already observed how Dulin was deceived by Van Exel.

So this round, there is absolutely no way he would let this happen to him again.

After Van Exel tried several probing steps, he found that Zhao Qiang did not give him any space to shoot.

This still surprised Van Exel.

"What a good boy, you are quite experienced in defense. It seems that you are destined to play in the NBA."

Van Exel praised Zhao Qiang in his heart.

The next second, Van Exel broke through Zhao Qiang's left hand side with a single lunge, without giving Zhao Qiang any time to react.

"WTF?!"

Van Exel thought his breakthrough speed was fast enough, but he didn't expect Zhao Qiang to keep up with him.

Zhao Qiang slid to the left in time to defend and did not give Van Exel a chance to break into the penalty area.

At the same time, there is not much time left in this 24-second attack.

Seeing that there was not much attack time left, Van Exel had no choice but to make a reluctant mid-range shot.

Zhao Qiang did not relax at all and stretched out his long arms to defend Van Exel's face, effectively interfering with his shooting.

Clang.

Without any surprise, Van Exel's mid-range shot ended up in a black hole.

In the Staples VIP room, a silver-haired old man with a cigar in his mouth was paying close attention to the game.

Sitting opposite him was Lakers owner Jerry Buss.

"Jerry, why did you ask me to come over to a college student's game?"

"This Cavalry team is not a traditional NCAA strong team, so there is nothing to pay attention to."

"Come on, old man, you're taking up my date."

Old Bass shook his head slightly, feeling dissatisfied with this.

The silver-haired old man is none other than the famous "LOGO Man" - Jerry West, who is both a legendary superstar and an excellent general manager.

"Boss, believe me, the Oriental boy wearing No. 10 on the field deserves our attention."

"If possible, I hope to select him with a first-round pick next year or directly trade him for a lottery pick and select him early."

Jerry West said confidently while smoking a cigar.

If it had been anyone else, Old Bass would have scolded him and then left.

But the words of Jerry West forced Buss to seriously consider it. After all, the "LOGO Man" has always had a unique eye for rookies, and basically all the rookies he selected can become talents.

"Jerry, an Eastern player?"

"Hahaha, I'm afraid that after he comes to the NBA, his body will be knocked apart."

Although he admired West in his heart, Bass still expressed his doubts.

"Boss, his current ability is as good as our star defensive players."

"Wha...what?"

Old Bass was very surprised when he heard Jerry West's words. He knew that West never joked.

Immediately afterwards, Old Bass also stood up from the sofa and stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window with Jerry West, watching the Oriental Youth game.

On the court, there were only 58 seconds left in the game. At this time, the score between the two sides was 101 to 100, and the Cavaliers were temporarily behind by one point.

The reason why the Lakers were able to lead by one point again was because head coach Harris changed his strategy and changed the offensive ending from outside to inside, allowing Divac to complete the final finish.

This can not only avoid Zhao Qiang's outside pressure, but also accurately attack the weak links of the cavalry team inside.

After all, not everyone in the Cavaliers is like Zhao Qiang, who has NBA ability early on.

When the Lakers attacked, Van Exel did not hesitate and directly passed the basketball to Divac inside.

The Cavaliers also have a new defensive strategy, which is to double-team Divac in an attempt to interfere with his offense.

Maggette first defended against Divac's human shield impact, and the big black dragon on the weak side rushed to help defend, giving Divac enough defensive pressure.

As an NBA All-Star center, Divac was still able to face two college players with ease.

Divac turned around and used his strong muscles to instantly push away the defensive big black dragon by half his body, and then directly overpowered Maggette for a dunk!

Divac never thought he would be O'Neal one day.

Divac's incredible dunk instantly ignited the entire Staples Center fans.

The Lakers bench, which had been dull for the whole game, started dancing crazily at this moment.

The Lakers lead the Cavaliers 103 to 100.

When the Cavalry attacked, Zhao Qiang was still the main control and attacker. At this time, no other teammates were able to step up.

Lakers head coach Harris saw this exactly, so he asked his players to double-team Zhao Qiang like crazy.

After all, if one NBA player can't guard Zhao Qiang, why can't two NBA players also guard him?

Harris didn't believe that Zhao Qiang could be so strong.

Zhao Qiang advanced past the midline with the ball, and Eddie Jones and Ceballos came over instantly to double-team.

Zhao Qiang understands that with his current dribbling ability, it is basically impossible to break through the double-team of two NBA players.

So he kept doing nothing, and when he was still 3 meters away from the three-point line, Zhao Qiang threw the basketball directly...

brush!

Three point hit!

At the critical moment, Zhao Qiang still believed in his shooting ability.

Through Zhao Qiang's key three-pointer, the Cavaliers once again caught up with the score, and the two sides tied again.

"This kid...is really interesting."

Lakers head coach Harris secretly praised it.

He didn't expect that at the last moment of the game, facing a double team, Zhao Qiang would dare to throw like this.

He is truly a natural shooter.

The Lakers' offense was still the same old routine. After Van Exel held the ball and advanced past half court, he immediately passed the basketball to Divac inside.

There is no doubt that Divac is currently the Lakers' most stable offensive strength.

Divac also relied on his strong body and good offensive steps to once again make a splash in the paint.

Just when Divac was about to get up and complete a dunk, a black figure flashed past him and steadily took the basketball out of his hand!

Yes, this person is Zhao Qiang, the captain of the cavalry!

Seeing that there were only 10 seconds left in the game, Zhao Qiang quickly advanced with the ball and went straight into the Lakers' penalty area.

Eddie Jones, who had been teased by Zhao Qiang this game, finally saw a chance for revenge. He knew that with this goal, Zhao Qiang would definitely choose to finish with a layup.

The moment Zhao Qiang made a layup, Eddie Jones jumped high from behind him, trying to complete the ruthless nail-biter.

The corner of Zhao Qiang's mouth raised slightly. He had already expected it and changed hands directly in the air to avoid Eddie Jones's block and complete the score.

beep!

The game is over!
Chapter completed!
