Chapter 739 Incarnation of a Power Forward (4/10)

The sideline referee did not whistle, leaving enough buffer time for the two. After they all signaled that there was no problem, the referee then signaled that the game continued.

This was a successful defense because James was unable to throw the ball before landing. The ball was finally ordered to leave James, and the ball was left to the Lakers.

In the Lakers' offense, Shuai Tang pushed the ball to the frontcourt. He and Westbrook played a pass and cut cooperation. Westbrook cut at an all-in-one pass to Tang Shuai scored a layup.

There was a burst of cheers at the scene.

Looking back, Anthony and Thompson played pick-and-roll on the right wing. After breaking the ball, he rushed straight to the basket and scored a layup against Cousins' defense.

When Tang Shuai broke through and scored a goal, he turned around and played Yi Jianlian with his back, and scored again with a trolley and a layup behind him.

Anthony felt hot, and Billups saw this scene and directly reached out and called for a pause.

When the players left the court, Billups did not immediately start to arrange tactics as usual, but instead directly greeted Tang Shuai and asked: "Tang, are you confident of defending Anthony?"

When Tang Shuai heard Billups' words, he was stunned for a moment, and then he couldn't help but feel happy.

Originally, he felt that he would have been considered crazy to take the initiative to defend Anthony to Billupsti. Now, it might be because he had defended Durant before, and his two absolutely impressive defensive rounds against Anthony and James before the timeout made Billups take the initiative to make this request.

"I can try it, coach." Tang Shuai said after thinking about it.

"Okay, I will always be on the sidelines. Once there is a problem, I will make adjustments immediately." Billups was also straightforward. Hearing Tang Shuai agreed, he spoke without thinking much.

The time-out time came soon, and the players on both sides returned to the court.

The Lakers made personnel adjustments, and Ariza replaced Yi Jianlian on the court.

"The Lakers have made defensive adjustments. Replacing Ariza can indeed have a certain effect on the defensive end, but in this way, Cousins' pressure on the inside has increased again. Although he is deliberately controlling his foul number, he will become very struggling in the next period of time, just like the previous two games." Barry spoke up after seeing the Lakers' substitution.

"Yes, although Ariza makes a living by defending, he is older. It is definitely not easy to defend Melo at a low post, but there are indeed not many choices for Chauncey at this moment." Smith echoed.

The Lakers' offense came back from the timeout. At this time, the person who was holding the ball was Westbrook, Tang Shuai and Shampoo were entangled, and he appeared at the team's shooting guard position.

Shuai Tang and Mike Dermott circled twice from the bottom corners on both sides. Shuai Tang attracted Anthony's assisting defense during the run. Westbrook passed the ball to Ariza at the basket without looking at others. Ariza started with a quick kick.

Ariza used to play the No. 4 position for the Rockets, and his speed and reaction were much faster than ordinary power forwards.

At this time, the score on the field was 14-10, and the Cavaliers had the lead.

Irving was pushing forward with the ball at this time.

However, when the players were all in the position, a burst of exclamations suddenly came out of the scene.

Not only the fans, but also the players on the Cavaliers' court all showed a look of horror.

Ariza is actually defending James!

No, it was Michael Dermot who was actually defending against Shampoo!

That's not right, it's the Lakers' power forward in the defensive formation, it's Tang Shuai!

Ariza did play an offensive role after she came on the court, but when she was on the defensive end, the roles of him and Tang Shuai were exchanged. Tang Shuai actually faced Anthony on the defensive end!

Moreover, from the fact that Tang Shuai found Anthony early in the morning, this is not a temporary change or a misalignment. This is a tactical arrangement.

"Crazy, Chauncey is crazy!" Smith couldn't help but shout after seeing this scene.

"Haha, this is really a rush to seek medical treatment. Has Changxi been lost by Mello's continuous scores?" Barry couldn't help laughing.

"I don't think this is a wise choice, really." Smith couldn't help but shake his head after saying that.

"Tang's offensive ability is excellent, and his defense has also improved a lot, but he is not omnipotent. Changxi cannot use the "Tang Shuai" trick to solve it when the problem is not solved. You should know that you are a shooting guard to defend the power forward, even if Melo is just a swing forward, but he..."

"Bang!"

Before Barry finished speaking, the situation on the field broke through, and Tang Shuai appeared in one-on-one matches Anthony!

Barry swallowed the second half of the sentence and looked at the field with disbelief.

In one round just now, the Cavaliers players saw the Lakers' defensive adjustments and saw that Tang Shuai defended Anthony, they immediately felt anger from the bottom of their hearts. They used a defender to defend the power forward of the team. This was an insult. So after the frontcourt landed, Irving, who was holding the ball, quickly signaled his teammates to pull it away and then handed the ball to Anthony to play alone.

Other Lakers players did not go up to assist in defense, which gave Anthony a chance. He chose to slip through the bottom line after playing several times, but for some reason, the way he was best at was bumpy this time, and he almost got pushed out of the bottom line several times. After finally getting to the basket and making a layup, the starting point was particularly low after the confrontation.

And it was this time that Tang Shuai, who had been leaning against him, took advantage of the situation and then slapped his move out of the field with his right slap.

Anthony is 2.06 meters tall in shoes, which is 10 cm taller than Tang Shuai 1.96 meters tall. More importantly, his weight is 30 kilograms heavier than Tang Shuai, but just now, he was bleeding from the face.

A burst of cheers suddenly broke out at the scene.

Tang Shuai’s defense was really successful!

And it's in a one-on-one round!

This is really incredible ~

Some fans are still puzzled, but some fans have already recalled the two goals that Tang Shuai defended Anthony and James not long ago. Tang Shuai relied on his strength to suppress Anthony and then defended him down!

But when they realized this, they were even more surprised.

A guard of Shuai Tang actually suppressed Anthony with pure strength?

What is this concept?!

Anthony is known as the king of singles, and his big butt is raised and his weight and strength are pressed up. Most people can't hold it. Even a powerful defender like Westbrook is probably only convinced. But now, Tang Shuai has done it, and it is still so thorough.
Chapter completed!
