After the Lakers resisted Cleveland, under the organization of Tang Hao and Kobe, the players quickly entered the training.

According to the NBA schedule, the East and West teams only have two mobile phone meetings in a season. Now the Cavaliers are the favorites to win the league, so the players naturally want to defeat their opponents.

Just as the Lakers players were preparing for the game, Los Angeles media reported on the game extensively.

Tang Hao's strength, Cousins' pre-match declaration, and Kobe's comeback, in the words of the media, is an "opportunity to beat the Clevelanders easily", and even more, describing this game as the Lakers' "revival battle".

This high-profile approach of the media soon spread. After the Lakers' training, a local Cleveland reporter came to interview with this question.

"Don, the Los Angeles Daily and Sports newspaper described this game as a battle of revival, what do you think about it?"

"The Battle of Revival? This statement is very special." Tang Hao said with a smile.

"Yes, their report like this is like the Cavaliers are a stepping stone. The Lakers will step on it and rise. In fact, the Cavaliers have LeBron (James) in charge. Will such remarks put pressure on you?"

"Pressure? It doesn't exist." Tang Hao waved his hand, "I don't want to comment on the media, but our whole team is in full swing now, and defeating the Cavaliers is our goal."

The reporter was stunned. He originally wanted to get some humble answers from Tang Hao, but he didn't expect that Tang Hao looked like he was not much different from the arrogant media in Los Angeles.

The reporter was also interested. After interviewing the Lakers, he turned around and went to the Cavaliers again. James had just finished training and was caught by him.

After reposting Tang Hao's words to James, the first person in the league buckled his forehead with his fingers and continued: "This is a very interesting remark."

"Do you have anything to say to Tang?" the reporter asked.

"Well, no, anyway, he's happy." James said with a smile.

Such an answer represents an attitude. James didn't care much about Tang Hao's words, or, in his eyes, there were not many things in the league that he was worth caring about except for the championship and the Warriors.

The Quick Loan Stadium was extremely popular this night. The Lakers media remarks before the game made the attention attracted by this game soar.

To put it simply, the Lakers media is forcibly pretending to be slapped before the game, but unfortunately they have chosen the wrong target. James and the Lakers led by him will give the Lakers a headache.

Many viewers at the scene held up slogans such as "Beat Los Angeles" and "Let the arrogant Los Angeles know it's amazing" to express the fans' desires.

To defend James, Scott adjusted the team's lineup.

Derek Williams, who had just traded to the team, had his first chance. The purpose of arranging him was very clear, which was to ask him to defend James.

This is Tang Hao's first appearance as the Lakers' point guard, while Kobe is the shooting guard, while Cousins ​​and Anderson are still in the interior.

The Cavaliers still maintained their previous lineup. In addition to the Big Three James, Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love, the other two are JR Smith and Russian Mozgov.

As soon as the players on both sides appeared, they were cheering like overwhelming cheers from the audience.

Mozgov and Cousins ​​jumping ball.

Cousins ​​took advantage of his physical advantage and pushed Mozgov back to the Lakers' half. Tang Hao pushed forward with the ball, and the Lakers got the opportunity to take the lead in attacking.

Owen pressed Tang Hao at the first time.

There is no doubt that for most fans, this game is a direct confrontation between Tang Hao and James, but in fact, Irving, who is the team's main controller and the new point guard representative of the league, is the person who directly confronts Tang Hao.

Tang Hao, under the pressure of Irving, advanced to the frontcourt without any danger.

Dribble is not Tang Hao's strength, so the scene looks a bit thrilling, which immediately attracted bursts of laughter from the audience on the sidelines.

"Be careful to fall, Don, this is Cleveland, you're about to be scared!" A radical fan shouted loudly from the sidelines.

After Tang Hao advanced to the frontcourt, he handed the ball to Kobe, and Kobe transferred to Cousins, who was on the right side of the free throw line.

Cousins ​​pressed Love to fight in.

Cousins ​​has an absolute advantage in both strength and weight, and Love is a bit reluctant.

Cousins ​​turned around and was about to take a layup from the bottom line.

But at this moment, a figure suddenly came out from the side and slapped the ball in his hand, then "splashed" and broke the ball in his hand.

James!

There was a burst of cheers at the scene.

James is a bug in modern basketball. As the number one player in the active league, his dominance on both offense and defense can enter the top three in history. The ball is clean and beautiful. After intercepting the ball, he ran towards the frontcourt as soon as possible.

Derek Williams wanted to make a foul but failed to catch anyone.

After James rushed to the frontcourt with the ball, he made a step-dunk directly.

"Bang!"

The basketball was dunked heavily into the basket, which immediately attracted explosive cheers from the scene.

The Lakers advanced again. After Kobe received the ball, he played JR Smith. His movements were very smooth. Although he returned from injury, he could see that he was in good condition.

With a beautiful shaking and turning, he successfully got rid of Smith's defense and rushed into the basket.

Mozgov at the basket came out to make up for defense.

Kobe was a beautiful three-step slower dodging Mozgov for a layup and a lightweight basket pick.

But at this moment, James again rushed into the inside with great strides and rushed directly towards Kobe's basket picking.

"Bang!"

A big shot on the top.

The expressions of the audience were already quite exaggerated.

I don’t know if it was because of the verbal battle before the game, James’ desire to perform in this game is quite strong.

The ball was defeated, and the rebound was thrown by James's subordinates. Irving was given a hand.

Irving is known for his speed. He rushed to the frontcourt at a speed, and before the Lakers returned to defense, he scored a one-handed dunk.

4-0, the Cavaliers started with a thrilling momentum.

"Look clearly, this is the gap in strength!"

"You can't win!"

"The Battle of Revival? Just be happy!"

Such an opening also made the fans on the scene burst into emotions and shouted unscrupulously on the sidelines.

In this momentum, Anderson's move was defeated by Love. The Cavaliers fought back. JR Smith, who had played for Ba, scored a three-pointer, bringing this momentum into a small **.

7-0, the Cavaliers showed the strength of a team that won the championship, and the Lakers were powerless to fight back.

Scott was forced to call for a pause.

Taking advantage of the pause, the whistles of the audience came one after another.

After the timeout, the Lakers did not change much in the lineup, but they made fine adjustments in the position. Tang Hao advanced to the frontcourt and handed the ball to Kobe, allowing Kobe to organize the offense.

Tang Hao himself ran around the three-point line.

With Kobe and Cousins ​​making consecutive mistakes, if they want to break the team's scoring drought, the only one left for the Lakers is Tang Hao.

Cavaliers head coach David Blatt shouted to remind his teammates on the sidelines, and the Cavaliers' assisted defense quickly followed.

Tang Hao went around and didn't get a good chance to get a phone, but Kobe's pass still passed in the next second.

Nothing else, it was because the person who defended Tang Hao at this time had already been replaced by Love, a small chance to play big.

After Tang Hao received the ball, all other Lakers players pulled away, giving enough room for singles.

The cross-step swayed, Tang Hao quickly changed the direction of the attack, and Love retreated repeatedly.

After pressing forward and making a false move to break through, Tang Hao suddenly turned back and then stopped and then took action.

Love rushed back to defend, but his movements were obviously slower.

"Bang"

"Swish!"

Love's hand hit Tang Hao's elbow, but the ball still came into the net.

A beautiful 2 plus 1.

There was a booing sound at the scene. In their opinion, Love's hand was not obvious, and the referee's judgment was a problem!

Tang Hao walked onto the free throw line and made a steady hit and added free throws.

After scoring these 3 points, he successfully broke the scoring drought for the team.

In the Cavaliers' offense, James directly broke through with the ball, Derek Williams could not stand it at all. Finally, he arrived at the basket, and James directly knocked Williams to score a layup, which attracted cheers from the audience.

James is worthy of being the number one player in the league. His tank-like style of attack is like dominating the world, and no one can stop him.

The Lakers' offense is still Kobe's top organization.

Tang Hao used the counter-run and cut the basket and successfully threw away Irving.

Kobe's pass from the ground was immediately in.

Tang Hao received the ball, dodged Mozgov's backup defense, and jumped to make a layup.

At this moment, a figure rushed out from the side and blocked his layup.

James!

The audience cheered, and the ball was exactly the same as Kobe's layup before.
