NBA peak

Chapter 191 Janeway Connection 2.0
Under the leadership of James, the Cavaliers fought back wave after wave, trying to overtake the score.

But every time the Cavaliers score a morale-boosting goal, the Raptors can immediately pay back.

In this game, the Raptors completely overwhelmed the Cavaliers in momentum.

After Ge Feng hit another three-pointer from the outside, the Cavaliers requested a substitution.

Tyronn Lue replaced both James and Irving.

There is still one minute left in the game, with a 1-point difference, the Cavaliers have no way to recover.

The fans at the scene stood up one after another, sending warm applause to the Raptors in advance.

This is the first time the Raptors have played against the Cavaliers in four years.

This rare victory made the Raptors fans more convinced that the Raptors will definitely defeat the Cavaliers this season and advance to the Eastern Conference Finals.

James took off his braces, looking very upset.

In this game, although James once again scored 29 points, 10 assists and 10 rebounds, he still couldn't save the fact that the Cavaliers lost.

The Cavaliers players were too sluggish in this game. Even the team's second-in-command Irving only scored 18 points in this game.

When VanVleet tossed the ball into the air at the final whistle, the Canadian Airlines Arena erupted.

"Win! We won!" Van Vleet exclaimed, carried away.

Since he entered the league, he has been shrouded in the shadow of James' rule.

The Raptors still have many old players, all of whom were frightened by the Cavaliers led by James.

This is the first time they have gotten off to a good start against the Cavaliers.

This rare victory means a lot to them.

At the beginning of the season, this new Raptors was not favored by any fan.

Although the Raptors have reached the No. [-] position in the Eastern Conference, most fans still believe that they will continue to fall at James' feet.

But now, despite their doubts, they won the rare first victory.

That's really exciting!

On the Cavaliers' side, only James' data exploded.

Wade failed to score in double figures again, scoring only 9 points and 1 assist.

Rose also made 15 turnovers in the 2 minutes he played.

The Cavaliers players seem to be more or less affected by James' departure, and their performance in this game is not stable.

After the post-game handshake ceremony with the Cavaliers, the Raptors players tightly surrounded the heroes of the game, Ge Feng, Leonard and Lowry.

Since the Raptors absorbed Ge Feng and Siakam, they have become different from before.

Last season, the Raptors began to try to play small balls, but they have been suffering without an excellent perimeter defensive expert like Leonard. The Raptors once again stopped in the Eastern Conference semifinals.

But this year, with Kaka and Danny Green joining the Raptors, they have completely shaken off the shadow of the past.

Now, they can attack and defend, becoming a real raptor!

After winning the first game, the Raptors were in full swing.

Two days later, at the Canadian Airline Center, the second game between the Raptors and the Cavaliers will continue to be played at the Raptors' home court.

With the first victory at the bottom, the Raptors players are full of confidence.

The elated Raptors fans even straightened their backs unconsciously when entering the arena.

They can't wait to see their home team's second victory.

After the opening ceremony, the starting players of the two teams played one after another.

The Cavaliers went back and it seemed that they had worked hard after losing, and their starting lineups have undergone some changes.

JR Smith did not appear in the starting lineup as usual, and LeBron's good brother Wade was replaced by JR Smith.

The backcourt of James, Irving, and Wade is really interesting.

It seems that Wade made a serious promise to James after returning home that he must play the momentum of the king of Miami in the Cavaliers.

Thompson and Siakam's jump ball.

Thompson roared and beat Siakam.

Irving holds the ball, and James and Wade, good friends, wait for opportunities on both sides.

Replacing JR Smith and replacing Wade, what the Cavaliers want is the ability to hit the basket.

Although Wade is no longer at his peak, it is still no problem to create a few fatal kills per game.

James received the ball, and Leonard stretched out his big hand to interfere.

James is not good at singles, he started to communicate with Wade with his eyes.

Hey buddy, is your lost step still working?
Wade patted his chest: Don't worry, my brother has enough energy.

The classic lost step reappeared, and Wade got rid of Lowry's entanglement in two or three steps.

Wade has changed his previous style of play. In the past, Wade started to stalk with the ball, but now, Wade is beside James and has learned to stalk without fans.

After all, James and Wade are brothers who have worn a pair of underpants for so many years. The ball came to Wade as soon as he ran out of the open space.

Wade took the ball, without a word, it was a quick breakthrough.

Ibaka didn't even have time to help defend, and just watched Wade make a big loop around the basket and wipe the ball into the basket.

"Good shot, just play like this, play with confidence and momentum!"

James encouraged his teammates loudly, and the Cavaliers' players immediately became very excited as if they had been slapped with chicken blood.

Ge Feng smiled wryly and glanced at the expressionless Leonard.

"Does Lao Zhan's shouting still have attribute bonuses? The Cavaliers are going crazy this time..."

In less than 2 minutes, it was another wonderful cooperation between James and Wade.

Wade breaks through with the ball, James cuts straight inside, Wade attracts Ibaka's double-team, and throws the ball lightly into the sky.

James made an alley-oop and instantly detonated the entire stadium.

Janeway connects!

I really didn't expect that this Zhan Wei connection was actually made in 2018.

At this time, Wade has the idea of ​​​​retiring, and James can still fly in the sky!
Xiaoka's face became a little dignified.

If James has been playing off the ball with Wade, it will be difficult for him to limit James with his personal ability.

The fans can also see that after Wade replaced JR, the overall impact ability of the Cavaliers has become stronger.

This is the real moment to test the Raptors' defense.

"Defense! Defense! Defense!"

Driven by the on-site DJ, Raptors fans worked harder to cheer for the Raptors.

In the Raptors' offense, Kaka began to invest more in the offensive end.

The Cavaliers did find a good way to help James get rid of Kawhi's death entanglement.

Xiaoka must stand up and score in order to help the Raptors stabilize the situation.

In James' defense, Kaka puts James on his back.

Ge Feng and Owen are entangled, Xiao Ka can only fight by himself.

After two pushes, Xiaoka wanted to turn over and shoot a jumper.

Wade rushed over, and Kaka was forced to hold the basketball tightly and give up shooting.

James and Wade clamped Kaka, and Kaka couldn't pass the ball.

"Snapped."

In the chaos, James saw the opportunity and slapped the ball off Kaka's arms.

After the steal, James and Wade rushed to the front court at the same time.

Ge Feng quickly returned to defense.

It was the familiar James and Wade's defensive counterattack again, and Ge Feng suddenly felt a little bad.

Back then, there were too many players dunked by James and Wade. Ge Feng didn't think that he alone could prevent the James + Wade connection.

James and Wade have already rushed to the basket...
