The Clippers fans themselves did not expect that Ji Guohuo's series of suspected offensives in the third quarter made the Cavaliers retreat step by step. The little fox scored 7 points in just two minutes, causing Black Bread to call a timeout in a mess.

At 8 minutes and 30 seconds in the third quarter, the score was 55:48, and the Cavaliers fell 7 points behind in a blink of an eye.

"After the timeout, fox will continue to defend James. Remember to waste time with him. On the offensive end, I want you to attack him and use your height to fight hard. On the defensive end, use your height to entangle him. Don't jump."

After the Cavaliers stopped, James received the basketball offensive end and immediately played pick-and-roll with Big Z on the wing. The Little Emperor shook his two cross steps first, and found that there was no chance to break through directly. He took two steps back and then accelerated, preparing to force overtake around the outside line.

After James picked and rolled, Panda brother changed defense and blocked James with his body. Then he turned around and chased Daz without turning his head. While running, he stretched out his arms to interfere with James' pass.

James had no chance to pass the ball, and Ji Guoqiu blocked him just right, blocking him at the top of the arc. The delay in this moment caused the Fox brother to rush back to the Gorillas, and the Cavaliers' pick-and-roll failed again.

"Come on, I'm waiting for you!" Ji Guomeng pressed James tightly, and even took the time to provoke him.

James took another step back at the top of the arc, preparing to speed up and take Ji Guohuo.

Ji Guowei was very cunning. Seeing James take a step back, he immediately forced him to take a step forward, not giving James room to speed up.

Both teams have pulled apart, but the Clippers players are ready to make up for double-teams at the basket at any time.

James made continuous cross-steps and changed directions, but his breakthrough skills were more courageous and not more agile. Ji Guomo was like hanging on him. James was about to walk. Finally, he broke into the free throw line and reached out to make a fake shooting move, trying to shake the Fox brother.

Ji Guomo remembered what Old Dunleavy told him, and he didn't jump even if he beat him to death. He raised his foot and did not jump up. He always covered James' head with one hand. Even if he didn't jump, he could block James' shot.

James was unable to do any more movements at this time. He had already taken three steps before. The referee did not judge him to be a foul to take care of him, but at this moment, the pivot foot said that he could not move anything, so he had to turn halfway and hand over the basketball to Mo Williams.

Mo Williams rushed over to pick him up in time, but he did not attack by himself. After James made a message, he was unwilling to accept the basketball and immediately clapped his hands to ask Xiao Mo for the ball to attack again. How dare the latter not give it, so James received the basketball again and retreated to the top of the arc to prepare for another shot.

"You don't have time, just fight quickly!" Ji Guomo didn't know how many seconds there were left in the offensive time, but James just took at least 12 seconds to attack this time. In other words, the remaining offensive time would not exceed half.

James did not get this trick, but he once again forced the game against Ji Guohuo. He was still stuck on the right side and could not successfully break through. Finally, he was blocked by the Fox brother on the free throw line again, so he could only force himself to jump and make a back shot...

“…”

No sound appeared. James neither hit the basket nor the rebound this time. The basketball fell directly outside the boundary while rubbing the net.

The Clippers fans burst into laughter without hesitation and ridiculed James for shooting this time.

"Little Fox is so good!" Taylor Swift no longer struggled with Emma Watson's problem at this time, and cheered up for his boyfriend loudly.

James immediately retreated after the shot, turned around and quickly returned to defense. He knew that if he walked slowly, he would definitely be taken by the dead fox to sprinkle a few handfuls of salt on the wound. The gorilla is very smart and does not give Ji Guomeng the chance to release his mouth.

Charles Barkley smiled and said, "Did you see that the Clippers are consuming James on both offense and defense. There are not many people in the league who can do this except Fox. On the offensive end, he can beat James with his height and not suffer any losses. Don't forget that he has 235 pounds. On the defensive end, James, who is able to defend on the defensive end, has a temper, he is not moved for the first time, and then continues to play the ball the second time. As a result, the Fox brother doesn't take you fake moves and doesn't jump. Besides, even if Fox doesn't jump, his long arms and big hands can still get James' shot."

Kenny Smith added: "The Clippers' defense is more than one part of Fox. They are more meticulous in the Cavaliers' pick-and-roll defense than other teams. When they meet different people, they have different defensive methods. Whoever defends whoever, whether to change or not, how to turn after the change, the Clippers have a statement, and this is why they can defend against the Cavaliers' offense."

Shortly after the start of the second half, the Cavaliers came to another fork. The situation is no longer good now. If there is a slight mistake, they will lose this highly anticipated Christmas battle.

The Clippers will play again next time the attack is not related to the two brothers this time. Billups took advantage of Ji Guoqiu's pick-and-roll and made a quick move from outside the three-point line, hitting his second three-pointer in this game, which suddenly widened the gap to 10 points. This three-pointer is another key goal, which may affect the final victory or defeat of this game.

Mike Brown called another timeout after Billups made a three-pointer.

"We play inside, Elton, we need you to open the inside, so they dare not double-team James unscrupulously."

Black Bread can't even deceive himself, and the Cavaliers players are not stupid. Anyway, James and Brand don't believe him. The Clippers have been unscrupulously pairing up James. It is obvious that even if they are shot to death by other Cavaliers, James will not easily get points. But the Cavaliers cannot give the ball to James, just like Howard always misses the free throw, and the opponent cannot replace him when he cuts.

After the game started again, the Cavaliers did not show their strength in the inside, and Brand could not find a chance, but instead found the front star on the outside. West and Mo each threw a three-pointer, and the Cavaliers narrowed the gap to within five points.

When the Cavaliers open the outside, James' breakthrough becomes extremely threatening. No matter how good the defense is, it is impossible to block all five players of the opponent. The Clippers' defense focus is on James and the two inside lines. The defense of the outside line will always be worse. The two teams once again formed a deadlock in the third quarter, and the score difference always floated around five points.

In the last 22 seconds of the third quarter, the Clippers' last attack was the score 73:69.

In just one round, James made a high jump shot and scored his 14th point. The Little Emperor had a poor outside touch in the second half and only scored a pitiful 4 points in the third quarter.

Billups dribbled forward, and the two teams were in a stalemate. Dunleavy, the old man, did not dare to replace Billups and the two brothers easily. The three players played the third quarter.
