Chapter 157 Bad Premonition (Fourth)
James relied on his strong personal ability to score consecutively in the third quarter, and his beast-like physical fitness was undoubtedly revealed.

The Clippers rely more on their overall, driven by Curry, and play steadily with Randolph's low-post offense as the core.

Randolph's performance in the first half was mediocre, and the chaotic battle between the two sides prevented him from finding too many good scoring opportunities.

In the third quarter, Dunleavy rallied the team at halftime, giving Randolph more opportunities to attack in the low post.

Randolph is also firmly grasping, facing Hickson, he adopts a shallow position, facing the basket hard to play.

The advantage of backing the basket is that it can face outside teammates, facilitate the transmission of the ball, and cooperate with teammates inside and outside.

Therefore, those core big centers in history mainly focused on back-to-the-basket skills, and outside players revolved around him.

The advantage of facing the basket is that the offense is more lethal, and the facing basket is not easily disturbed by the defensive players.

In the 1998 Finals, if Karl Malone received the ball and turned to the basket, Michael Jordan would not steal the ball from behind.

Gasol has a certain mid-range shooting ability. He pulled O'Neal away and handed Randolph the basket to attack.

James rushed inside one by one and succeeded, and Randolph also used his solid footwork and excellent body to kill the Cavaliers inside and score.

Randolph's physical fitness is not as explosive as James', but his technique is delicate enough, and his footwork and touch are first-class.

Since renewing his contract early, Randolph has calmed down and polished himself seriously, maintaining a stable and good state.

Regardless of whether the team wins or loses, he can hand over a pretty good stat sheet, and his performance on the court is nothing to say.

Min Congda watched the wine king Randolph in "Drunk, Lustful and Wealthy" just change his ways, and the game continued to get better and better.

In his heart, it was called regret, but what's the use of regret?The transaction cannot be traded, and it is even more impossible to cut it.

He settled down in Los Angeles, and his girlfriend might get married in the past two years, and he played steadily to earn wages.

There was absolutely no reasonable reason to send him away, Min Congda really dug a hole for himself.

Relying on Randolph's play, the Clippers have always dominated the Cavaliers in the score until 76:77.

The Clippers also lead the Cavaliers by one point, and the offense is in the hands of the Clippers.

The ball was given to Randolph in the low post again, still in a shallow position, and immediately turned to the basket after receiving the ball.

Hickson was really scared of being beaten, and Randolph had already scored 18 points on him.

He scored 10 points in the third quarter alone, this fat man is really unstoppable.

Randolph lowered his shoulders and observed the defense. The Cavaliers didn't seem to intend to double-team.

Take the middle road and rush!
Hickson was pushed all the way in, and he didn't dare to take the initiative to exert force, which would be a foul.

But it couldn't be stopped. At this time, the big Z on the other side came to help defend and flanked Randolph from the front.

As a result, Randolph was double-teamed by two people, and he threw a high throw with his left hand, hit the board high, and bounced into the basket!
Take two points!

76:79, the Clippers maintain a 3-point lead.

LeBron - James once again like a bull into the inside of the Clippers.

If he only has this kind of bull rushing, that's all. Randolph and Gasol can stop him.

But when Gasol assisted in the defense, the 45-degree big Z on the right was vacated, and James deftly passed the ball without looking at people.

The ball was given to Big Z, and Big Z slowly made a three-pointer and hit it to tie the score.

This is where James is scary. You can see that he is physically strong, his technique is a little rough, and his playing is a bit ugly.

But his passing vision is historic. (His vision of running the basketball business is also historical)

With a rough body and Kong Wu's appearance, he has outstanding vision and exquisite passing.

LeBron James is a basketball machine of many contradictions.

At least half of the Clippers fans supported James and the Cavaliers.

After the shot was tied and the Clippers called a timeout, the crowd cheered.

Min Congda listened to the cheering fans wearing the No. 23 jersey, and cursed in his heart: "Hmph, you traitors!"

I don't know where he got the face to call someone a traitor.

At this time, Siakam Jr. admired James' way of playing.

Able to shoot suddenly and pass the ball so well, he is basically supporting the team's offense alone.

Excited, he kept saying to his father, "I will become a player like LeBron James in the future!"

Chamo touched his son's head with a smile, and said, "Becoming James is not an easy task, but you still have time to catch up."

Little Siakam nodded. He had already figured out that he would start playing basketball seriously after returning to Cameroon.

After the Cavaliers tied with the Clippers at the end of the third quarter, the psychological advantage gradually tilted towards the Cavaliers.

During James' rest period, the Cavaliers played the Clippers' second team off the bench for a 7-0 spurt.

Dunleavy's timeout was a waste of time. Fortunately, Ricky Davis stood up again, broke through the basket for a layup, and caused an inside foul to go to the free throw line.

At this time, Ricky Davis can make people see the ball-handling ability of a player who averaged 20+ points per game.

Two free throws were made, and the Clippers were slightly stopped bleeding. The third quarter ended quickly. The Cavaliers led the Clippers by 86 points 81:5 and entered the fourth quarter.

In the final decisive battle of the fourth quarter, both sides ran and fought for the whole field, and finally slowed down a little tired.

Both sides began to strike iron one after another, if you missed a shot and I didn't hit a shot, and if you grabbed a rebound, you didn't push a fast break.

And all of this is overdoing the final sprint for the main player's debut, and the most important thing is not to make mistakes.

At this time, the Cavaliers made a mistake. West made a rash pass at the top of the arc to plug the inside line, and was intercepted by PJ Tucker.

After the steal was successful, the Clippers launched a fast-break counterattack. Gordon rushed to the frontcourt, caught the ball and made an easy layup.

86:83, the point difference became 3 points, and James shook his head off the court watching, passing the ball too carelessly.

With 9 minutes left in the fourth quarter, the two sides scored 88:84, the Cavaliers led by 4 points, and the main players of both sides re-appeared.

At this time, LeBron James has scored 27 points. He is omnipotent on the offensive end, shooting 16 of 10 from the field.

For the Clippers, Randolph scored 18 points and Curry scored 14 points. Except for the three-pointer at the buzzer, his performance in this field was far less impressive than that of James.

But Curry is about to use his personal performance in the fourth quarter to reverse this impression gap.

Min Congda watched Curry catch and dribble the ball in the backcourt, and suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

"Oops! Tonight, Curry seems to have been playing back and forth, throwing three-pointers without any seriousness! But the Cavaliers guard is honest...Mike Brown, call a timeout, and rearrange the defense!"

Min Congda now especially wants to pass a small note to Cavaliers coach Mike Brown, telling him to "strengthen the back line defense!"
