It seemed Harrell had been holding it in for a long time. The energy he unleashed in one burst was astonishing.
But that was only to be expected.
Harrell was the kind of player with his mental attributes maxed out. He had performed brilliantly in the Playoffs last season and had thought he would be heavily relied upon in the new season, but things had gone against his wishes. Now that the opportunity had finally arrived, how could he not seize it?
Even James was stunned.
Looking at Harrell's ferocious expression, a sentence popped into his mind.
Who the hell are you?!
Getting bullied by Tang Tian was one thing, but this guy who had appeared out of nowhere had actually posterized him too!
This was simply an insult!
Fortunately, unlike Durant, he quickly adjusted his emotions and gestured for Love to make the backcourt pass.
On the Cavaliers' possession, James continued using Whiteside's pick and roll to attack the basket. This time, he did not choose to pass and instead forced his way up against Harrell.
Harrell was tough, but James charging forward was simply too overwhelming. Harrell could not even hold him back.
The referee's whistle sounded, yet James still made the shot.
2+1!
A stir rose from the sidelines, but James' expression remained calm.
He had no idea who Harrell was, but he immediately answered by scoring a 2+1 on him.
That was the strength of the Number Two Player in the League.
Unfortunately, he missed the free throw, and Davis secured the Defensive Rebound.
6-4, the Pelicans still held the lead.
Davis held the ball at the high post and ran a play with Tang Tian. Tang Tian caught the pass and shot through contact, but the ball bounced twice on the rim before rolling out.
