After five minutes, the game entered the official timeout.

Lin Yu shook his head and walked to the side of the court. The score at 7:15 showed that in the first few waves of offense and defense, the Cavaliers were completely suppressed by the Lakers playing at home.

Kobe Bryant's state can no longer be described as outstanding. To be precise, it is an explosion, a state that explodes to a fiery red state.

Of the 15 points the Lakers scored, Kobe scored 9 points and 2 assists. Lin Yu's defense looked riddled with holes.

The moment the timeout whistle sounded, Staples Center erupted into violent cheers and screams, as well as some sporadic boos.

Near the bench area on the Cavaliers' side, the fans in the stands on both sides made annoying noises. Lin Yu looked up, and he could see people wearing Spider-Man masks, Shrek monster masks, or

Fans dressed up in costumes made all kinds of ugly expressions and spit sweet scents at the Cavaliers players on the sidelines.

"I remember the Staples Center wasn't so busy before, right?"

Lin Yu complained softly, thinking that no one should be able to hear him in front of the huge noise.

However, Big Z who was walking in front of him heard it. He told Lin Yu in English with an Eastern European accent: "Because it is Halloween, the gentlemen of Staples put on masks and can express themselves regardless of their image.

."

Lin Yu had difficulty listening, but he already understood the general meaning. He nodded, then walked to the sidelines and began to accept Mike Brown's adjustments.

"It seems that we can no longer defend Kobe Bryant alone, double-team defense is imperative..."

Through the first half of the first quarter, Mike Brown had realized that Lin Yu's single defense was no longer effective with Kobe going crazy, and even double-team defense could only prevent Kobe from catching the ball.

Once Kobe receives the ball and faces a double attack, he has the ability to put the ball into the basket.

Therefore, Mike Brown spent the vast majority of the timeout on the offensive end.

The Cavaliers' offense at the beginning was very poor. LeBron James inexplicably began to grab the ball and play a sudden scoring system. At the beginning, Lin Yu was able to understand James. Before the rise of Bynum and the addition of Trevor Ariza,

, James' breakout system will be very effective against a team like the Lakers that has weak wings and no frame protection inside.

But now, Bynum has supplemented the Lakers' rim protection, and Trevor Ariza has also made the Lakers' wings tougher.

Therefore, in the opening half of the game, the Cavaliers' offense was a bit misfired.

"We have to move the ball, everyone has to keep the ball!"

The Cavaliers now have two systems, one is a breakout system where James has sole control of the ball, and there is a pick-and-roll pass-and-cut system where everyone can get the opportunity to control the ball.

Mike Brown emphasized this, and the implicit meaning is to let James pass the ball. Only flowing ball rights can maximize the effectiveness of the Cavaliers' offense.

James nodded, the timeout ended, the main players of the two teams reappeared, and the game resumed.

"Halfway through the first quarter, the Cavaliers trailed by 8 points. The official timeout ended and the game restarted. Neither team made any substitution adjustments, but what is certain is that the Cavaliers will definitely make tactical changes."

In the commentary box, Mike Breen was very sure.

Kenny Smith on his side once again analyzed the reasons for the Cavaliers' poor opening performance and made obvious adjustments: "Obviously, in the first half of the first quarter, the Cavaliers relied too much on LeBron James, and all the ball rights were lost.

Concentrated in the hands of James, this is not a reasonable offensive style."

"Now, after the adjustment from the timeout, the Cavaliers should return to the pick-and-roll, pass-and-cut offense that helped them win the game in the opening game."

Charles Barkley followed up: "The Cavaliers always ignore the existence of China Lin. Until now in the first quarter, China Lin has only received the ball a handful of times, but obviously, if they want to win, they must let China Lin

Get the ball."

The three people in the commentary box were right in their predictions, and there was nothing wrong with what they said.

But in the first offensive round after the timeout, James once again took control of the ball and broke through Trevor Ariza who was defending him.

This style of play made Mike Brown, who was supervising the game on the sidelines, a little anxious.

But James, who failed to force a breakthrough, did not act as recklessly as he did in the first half of the first quarter. Instead, he passed the ball back immediately, and Lin Yu received the ball.

At this point in the game, Lin Yu, who rarely got the ball, only made 1 of 3 shots and scored 2 points.

He had been working very hard to grab the ball, but unfortunately, Kobe was keeping a close eye on him, making it difficult for Lin Yu to catch the ball. In addition, James was reluctant to give the ball to him. Before the timeout, it was difficult for him to get the ball.

.

Now, after the timeout, he easily got the ball in a non-threatening position, and then faced Kobe's defense.

It was also a breakthrough, but Lin Yu's breakthrough didn't seem that impactful. The Lakers didn't attack from a double attack and just allowed Kobe to defend alone.

Facing a single defense, Lin Yu took two strong steps forward, and then became a little weak. Even if he continued to break through, it would be difficult to create a threatening opportunity.

Therefore, Lin Yu simply made an emergency stop and took action directly against Kobe's defense.

He leaned back extremely, avoided Kobe's interference, and threw the ball!

"China Lin, he hit a fadeaway jumper!"

Whoosh!

The next second, the basketball got into the basket!

"Successful hit! China Lin, he is too arrogant!"

The three people in the commentary box became excited the moment the ball went in. Nothing else, the fadeaway jumper has always been Kobe's signature scoring method.

But now, at the critical moment when the Cavaliers desperately needed to score, Lin Yu shot an extremely difficult fadeaway jumper in front of Kobe.

This solved the Cavaliers' scoring drought, and Lin Yu was very arrogant when he celebrated after scoring the goal. He straightened his right hand in a knife shape and waved it crazily in front of him.

In the subsequent defensive round, the serious Kobe took the ball after halftime, completely violating the tactical arrangement of the triangle offense. His intention was clear: he wanted to respond to Lin Yu's last ball!

But at this moment, Lin Yu will not play one-on-one with Kobe. Kobe takes the ball and the Cavaliers directly double-team.

Facing a double attack, Kobe's shot was still stable, but it missed a little and hit the frame with a bang.

Under the basket, Big Z got stuck and grabbed the rebound.

Lin Yu immediately went around to Big Z's side and opened his hand to receive the ball.

"Fight back!"

After shouting, only LeBron James responded to Lin Yu the fastest among the Cavaliers players. The Zhan-Lin connection is a powerful weapon in the Cavaliers' counterattack.

But with this goal, Lin Yu, who was advancing quickly, did not think about passing the ball. He missed so much ball possession in the first half of the first quarter, and now he obviously wants to make up for it.

He quickly rushed to the frontcourt, faced Kobe's defense again, and made a somewhat unexpected three-pointer.

"Counterattack, a direct three-pointer in the counterattack!"

Whoosh!

The crisp sound of wiping the net sounded again, and Lin Yu's celebration suddenly became very simple. He had a cold face and glanced around with dead eyes.
Chapter completed!
