Chapter 210: Stimulated by the ring, James went crazy!
Wang Yan and his teammates raised their right hands wearing championship rings and smiled happily.

For James, it is really a great irony.

He struggled for many years in the Cavaliers, only made it to the finals once, and was even shaved bald by the Spurs.

Later, they kept running away and forming groups.

But after so many years of hard work, there is still no championship.

In the history of NBA, there are many stars who did not win the championship, but they all won the respect of the fans.

Because they all used the right way to attack the championship.

Regardless of success or failure, they are real men!
. . . .

The second half of the game begins.

Perhaps inspired by the championship ring, James launched a crazy attack at the beginning of the third quarter.

The tank broke through and frequently attacked the Cavaliers' inside line.

Of course, James was smart and he was always keeping his eyes on Wang Yan.

If Wang Yan came to defend, he would pass the ball to his teammates.

This desperate fighting style temporarily worked.

The Lakers not only scored consecutively, but also caused TT to commit two fouls.

Head coach Scott had no choice but to call a timeout and replace TT to rest.

Although James has many haters, he still occasionally plays strong basketball and puts his opponents in trouble.

Kobe and James increased their cooperation in the third quarter and high-fived each other after scoring.

It shows that the two have put aside their past grudges and are united.

More than four minutes into the third quarter, the Lakers took a 4-point lead.

The opening match was not one-sided but full of suspense.

During the timeout, Wang Yan looked solemn. He gathered his teammates together and shouted loudly: "To defend James, we must stop him before he starts!"

The players know that if James rushes, he is indeed unstoppable.

Wang Yan is very experienced and immediately pointed out the key point to crack James' breakthrough.

However, James is not a newcomer and he is very smart.

Usually when he charges, he relies on the cover of his teammates.

It is not easy to block his breakthrough route before he starts.

The timeout ends and the game continues.

Wang Yan first used a three-pointer to narrow the gap.

Lakers offense.

James held the ball at the top of the arc again and reached out for Jordan Hill to come over and cover.

Just as he was about to break through with the help of his teammates, Butler suddenly moved sideways and got out in front of him.

James couldn't stop the car and knocked Butler head-on.

The referee hesitated, blew the whistle, and pointed at James.

James was furious and immediately spread his hands, rushed towards the referee and yelled.

The referee was annoyed by the criticism and immediately gave him a technical foul!
Kobe and Kelly quickly ran over and pulled James away.

In this parallel world, Wang Yan is the cash cow of the NBA, and the referees will not tolerate him.

Technical foul, Wang Yan free throw, whoosh!

Get another 1 points.

The Cavaliers attacked, Wang Yan broke through and passed the ball to Irving outside the three-point line.

Irving made another three-pointer with great speed.

In the next round, James changed his style of play and played a pick-and-roll with Kobe.

Unexpectedly, Wang Yan gave up the inside and went directly to the outside to block with Butler.

Unlimited defense switching!

James couldn't catch the ball at all.

In desperation, Kobe had to force a shot under the double-team of Butler and Irving!

In fact, Kobe has changed his playing style since James came to the Lakers.

On the one hand, it was to accommodate James, and on the other hand, he was old and forcing shots was too physically demanding.

In order to maintain offensive power in the fourth quarter, we must change to a more reasonable style of play.

Kobe is Kobe. Even though he was forced to shoot under double-team, he still made the shot off the backboard!
After scoring the goal, Kobe roared excitedly, James ran over, and the two bumped chests to celebrate.

Both sides showed off their best skills and the situation became more and more intense.

After three quarters, the Cavaliers only led by 4 points. It seems that the Lakers have a lot of ideas this season.

We were able to play the defending champions in an away game and it was hard to separate them.

The fourth quarter started and substitutes from both teams came on the court.

At this time, James stood up again.

He played for more than 10 minutes in the third quarter and now he had to play again.

It means he really wants to win!

It must be said that James' physical fitness is indeed at a historical level.

James took advantage with the substitutes and overtook the score.

Head Coach Scott looked at Wang Yan, a little worried.

But Wang Yan sat very calmly in the stands, not in a hurry at all.

Scott had no choice but to remain silent and watch the score widen little by little.

More than five minutes into the fourth quarter, the Lakers were already leading by 5 points.

Scott couldn't stand it anymore and called a timeout.

Wang Yan stood up and high-fived the substitute players one by one.

The substitute players were all listless, with their heads hung, looking very ashamed.

But Wang Yan encouraged everyone: "You fought well, don't lose heart, victory belongs to us!"

The Cavaliers' main players appeared on the court.

Cavaliers fans chanted Wang Yan's name.

This is the opening game, a good start is very important.

If they lose the first game, especially to a potential championship rival, it will cast a shadow on the team's chances of winning three consecutive championships.

Although James has abnormal physical strength, he is also a human being.

It took just a few minutes and he was exhausted.

He rested his hands on his knees, breathing heavily.

The Cavaliers attack.

Wang Yan grinned wickedly and gestured to his teammates.

Jamison understood what he meant and put James in front of Wang Yan.

Aren't you physically strong? Then I will beat you up!
When James saw Wang Yan named him, he felt very sad!
But there is no way, as one of the dual cores of the Lakers, he can't be timid!

James gritted his teeth and held on to Wang Yan.

Wang Yan did not take a quick approach to resolve the battle, but instead worked with James bit by bit.

boom!
Boom!

James was already tired, and Wang Yan's collision with him made him even more exhausted.

With 2 seconds left in the offensive time, Wang Yan suddenly turned around and made a pull-up shot!
James' steps were already messed up, and it was too late for him to rush forward.

Swish!
It turns out that Wang Yan had been holding on for a long time, but he didn't intend to attack the inside line.

This is purely consuming James.

James was so angry that his face turned green, but there was nothing he could do.

It's all an open conspiracy!

Lakers offense.

Wang Yan once again ordered that as long as others had the ball, they must defend strictly and force the Lakers to pass the ball to James.

so bad.

It's okay that the offensive end point is James, but the defense is also targeted at James.

James held the ball, still breathing heavily.

To be honest, he can hardly run anymore.

But this is a game, and James can only grit his teeth and persevere.

James broke through with the ball, but he found that Wang Yan was in front of him again.

There was no choice but to go ahead with it.

As a result, he rushed left and right, but could not get rid of Wang Yan's defense.

This is normal. Wang Yan has won DPOY for two consecutive years. It is not difficult for him to defend James alone.

James' advantage is that he is strong enough, but this advantage is not worth mentioning in front of Wang Yan.

He hit Wang Yan with all his strength, but it was like hitting a wall, without any feeling.
