NBA: The bad guy forward hugs and throws James!

Chapter 305: The Raptors' dual cores work together! The score gap is shortened instantly!

As it turns out, after Wang Yan left the court, the top scorer in the Cavaliers lineup is Kyrie Irving!
at this moment.

In the stands of the Quicken Loans Center, tens of thousands of Cavaliers fans were cheering Irving's name at a deafening pace.

Even on the Cavaliers' bench, after seeing Irving make the shot, Wang Yan was the first to applaud Irving!
And the team's head coach, Mr. Scott, could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

But where some are happy, others are sad.

On the Raptors side, the team's head coach Casey was shaking his head helplessly. It was obvious that this was not the situation that Coach Casey wanted to see.

In Kathy's opinion.

Wang Yan's return to the bench during this period will be a good opportunity for the team to catch up.

Unexpectedly.

But Kyrie Irving showed up halfway!
This undoubtedly completely disrupted Coach Casey's tactical system.

Now! !
All the pressure involuntarily gathered on the Raptors players. Now, the top priority for the Raptors players is to shorten the score difference as soon as possible!

After exchanging the ball, Kyle Lowry quickly strode forward with the ball like a meteor.

In the stands of the Quicken Loans Center, the fans were booing continuously.

Soon after Kyle Lowry dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, the Cavaliers' defensive players immediately arrived!
Just finished a shot from the outside to hit Kyrie Irving, plus Jimmy Butler!

It is clear.

The current Cavaliers still attach great importance to defending Kyle Lowry.

This time, they just sent out two players for defense!!

Whether it is Kyrie Irving or Jimmy Butler, their defensive attention is extremely focused!

The purpose is to stop Kyle Lowry's shot!

As a player with a relatively high basketball IQ, Lowry knew very well that it was obviously not the right approach to confront the two Cavaliers' outside players at this moment.

and so!
The first priority is to pass the ball!
Kyle Lowry quickly set his sights on DeRozan.

In fact, in the current Toronto Raptors, the real scorer is DeMar DeRozan!
Kyle Lowry didn't hesitate much and quickly passed the basketball in his hand to DeRozan!
On the right side of the three-point line.

After receiving the basketball, the Toronto Raptors star player hardly made any adjustments.

DeRozan just took a look at the basket, and then quickly shot!
Swish!
In a flash, the basketball formed a beautiful parabola in the air, and then, the basketball fell steadily into the basket! !

This is DeRozan's strength!
With a three-pointer, he once again gave the Raptors hope of tying the score!
"DeRozan again!"

"Although most of the Cavaliers players focused on Kyle Lowry during this defense, unexpectedly, the player who scored this time was DeRozan!"

"An easy three-pointer. The Raptors are currently third in the Eastern Conference and they still have a lot of tenacity!"

"It is not an easy task for the Cavaliers to defeat their opponents easily at home!!"

At this moment, the Cavaliers' counterattack was already in place.

The player advancing with the ball is still Kyrie Irving.

In the opponent's half, Kyrie Irving suddenly stepped on the brakes and was blocked by DeRozan.

But Owen was not panicked at all.

He threw the ball in his hand to Tristan Thompson in the paint at the fastest speed! That is TT!

In Irving's opinion, Tristan Thompson also has unparalleled impact in the interior!
As long as the basketball is given to TT, he can naturally cause damage to the Raptors' inside line!
All I can say is that Irving overestimated Tristan Thompson's strength.

In the three-second zone. When Tristan Thompson just grabbed the basketball, suddenly, the Toronto Raptors' defensive players were already in place!
Both Jonas Valanciunas and Amir Johnson immediately appeared in front of Thompson!

The latter was about to dunk.

He encountered the joint interference of the two Raptors inside players!
So much so that TT was directly blocked!
After Terrence Ross grabbed the rebound, the Toronto Raptors launched a quick counterattack in a flash!
It only takes a few seconds.

Terrence Ross decisively threw the basketball in his hand to Kyle Lowry in the frontcourt.

The Raptors' offensive engine decisively stepped on the brakes the moment he received the basketball, and then... Kyle Lowry glanced at the approximate position of the basket and immediately shot!

Swish! !

Another three-pointer was hit steadily.

Just like that, the basketball went into the basket.

The Raptors are like an indestructible cockroach, always able to narrow the gap between them and the Cavaliers.

Especially in the second quarter.

After losing Wang Yan, the Cavaliers also lost their stable scoring point in the game, while the Raptors, on the other hand, had Kyle Lowry and DeRozan exerting their strength at the same time.

Gradually, the gap between the two teams began to narrow!!

In the blink of an eye.

In the final stage of the second quarter, the difference between the Cavaliers and the Raptors was only ten points!

Inside the Tianchao Sports studio.

After seeing this scene, commentator Yu Jia immediately complained in a trembling voice: "With one minute left in the second quarter, the Raptors finally narrowed the gap to ten points with great difficulty!"

"As for the Cavaliers, judging from what Coach Scott said, he doesn't seem to be planning on making a substitution!"

"In the last minute... the game will definitely be extremely close!"

Just as Yu Jia expected.

The Raptors' sharp attack comes again!

After DeRozan dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, this time, the Cavaliers simply sent out at least two players to interfere!
But nevertheless.

DeRozan was not panicked at all!

After an easy turn, DeRozan chose to make an emergency stop again!

then!!
DeRozan took a deep breath, glanced at the position of the basket, and shot immediately!

It can be said that DeRozan's entire shooting action is extremely smooth.

The entire Cavaliers' defensive players had a hard time keeping up with DeRozan! The only thing they could do was watch the basketball fly into the basket!

"DeRozan scores again!"

"Now, the difference between the Cavaliers and the Raptors is only eight points!"

"Isn't Coach Scott still enjoying his tactical timeouts and substitutions?"

To be honest, when Yu Jia saw that Coach Scott was still indifferent, he felt extremely panicked and impatient deep in his heart.

In his opinion, if substitutions are not made quickly.

With the Raptors' impact, they might be able to tie the score before the end of the second quarter.
