You should cross the mountains like a brave man

Chapter 892
Irving rushed to the basket and was brought down by Faried.

It was a defensive foul, but the intensity of Faried's foul was aimed at the useless.

So when Irving was lying on the ground, boos from the Quicken Loans center rose in all directions, and at least three Cavaliers stepped forward to argue.

The matter was left alone. It can be seen from the replay that Farid's hands are very strong, but there is no evidence to say that he did it on purpose.

Irving deliberately waited a few extra seconds for his free throws, but the side effects of the pain still caused him to miss both free throws.

The same thing happened to the 76ers soon.

Robertson got the defensive rebound and passed the ball to Hayward.

Hayward made a one-stop fast break in the middle, rushed to the frontcourt and wanted to dunk, but was fouled roughly by Jefferson from behind.

Another bad landing, and unlike the Cavaliers, no one went to Jefferson to argue, and no one protested loudly because the referee only gave ordinary fouls.

Hayward turned over, obviously feeling severe pain but forced himself to sneer.

Wei Xia and others stepped forward to help him up and made free throws normally.

"The mentality of the 76ers is completely different from that of the Cavaliers." Jackson said this. "Looking at their reaction to the same foul, it is not difficult to see that the 76ers came with determination."

Van Gundy smiled grimly: "Looking at the Cavaliers, they didn't expect the intensity and intensity of this game to reach this level in the first few minutes."

Two free throws, Hayward made the second goal.

9 is better than 4
In the opening 4 minutes, the 76ers led the Cavaliers by 5 points.

James can no longer bear Weixia's fly-like close defense, let alone accept the dilemma that the opponent has been spraying trash in his ear, but he cannot respond with actions.

He took the ball from the backcourt to the frontcourt, pointed at Wei Xia, and asked him to defend.

"I'll let you have a good time!"

James forced a breakthrough with anger. No matter how strong Wei Xia's determination is, it is not a wise choice to forcibly block his breakthrough when encountering James like this.

Wei Xia's defense was knocked away by James, and then followed.

At this time, his defense can only bring a certain amount of interference to James, and the subsequent defense depends entirely on his teammates.

Farid rushed out to help defend, and the half-orc didn't expect the king to be entangled by Wesha and at the same time have enough explosive power to jump up and dunk in an instant.

boom! ! !
"Beep!"

The whistle blows, Faried's second foul.

James' dunk counted, and the fans at Quicken Loans Center roared.

"Well done, Kenneth." Weixia ignored the fact that James dunked Faried 2+1. He said to Faried who was about to leave the field, "Take a good rest, we will need your energy later."

Faried was replaced by Ryan Hollins.

"Although this game has only played half a quarter, I dare say that this is definitely the best game of the season so far."

"We can find all the attractive elements in it!"

In terms of free throws, James has a classic 2+0 and missed free throws.

6 is better than 9
For this situation, the Cavaliers were prepared and retreated quickly.

The 76ers don't want to play with their rhythm.

The Cavaliers quickly retreated. They saw it, but they only felt ironic, because they didn't intend to play a fast break.

Hayward, who took the defensive rebound, threw the ball to Wei Xia.

Wei Xia gave Holiday again, and they ran across the half at a normal speed.

With James' slam dunk, the Cavaliers' defensive strength has also risen, and they want to reach a strength that can compete with the 76ers.

The sudden rise in intensity also caused a lot of trouble for the 76ers.

Their offense lasted for more than ten seconds, and it was the first time they played tactics since the opening.

Hollins picks and rolls and catches the ball for a three-pointer.

strike iron.

After James' dunk, the Cavaliers began to realize how serious the 76ers were.

They ran tactics rigorously, James got the ball outside, after Love opened up the space, Jefferson took the screen and prepared to cut.

He still underestimated Roberson's athleticism.

James hit the ground perfectly and passed the ball. Although it was in place, Jefferson's offense was caught up by Robertson and blocked from behind.

The Cavaliers' defense became passive.

Jefferson was blocked, and Wei Xia quickly appeared at the ball's landing point. The moment he grabbed the ball with his right hand, he had already observed Holiday's quick drop in advance.

Therefore, the ball did not delay for a second in his hands.

The next thing he does with the ball is throw it upfield like a missile.

The positioning-guided pass gave Holiday the most comfortable counterattack opportunity, and he didn't need to waste other energy on this, as long as he put the ball into the basket, it was over.

11 is better than 6
"You don't think I can't pass such a pass, do you?" Wei Xia looked at the silent James and smiled.

James was speechless, and the Cavaliers' offense relied heavily on James' activation, which was caused by Tyronn Lue's tactical positioning.

Their former coach David Blatt wanted the Cavaliers to become a multi-core team. James is naturally the first core, but a victorious team should not have only one mind, just like dual-core processors and quad-core processors. If one more person can solve the problem, there is more guarantee.

This kind of rebellious idea was naturally opposed by the emperor's faction, and Blatter, who finally tried to fight against the imperial power, ended up cutting officials and seizing titles.Director Lu understands much better than his predecessor. He has a thorough understanding of the problem and knows that the Cavaliers rely on Irving and Love to win the championship.

The Big Three settled down, and the Cavaliers took off directly.

Without James to activate the Cavaliers' offense, they were beaten by the 76ers like headless chickens.

Irving made a strong shot under pressure.

Not in.

A scene with quite a comedic effect arrives.

Love and Robertson are two sticking to the basket. One is a natural insider with excellent basic skills and positioning ability; the other is not an insider at all. He wants to protect the rebound but doesn't know how to block.

Love points up the rebound, catches it, makes a second attack, and gets blocked;
Come again, catch again, attack three times, be interfered;
Then there is a hypnotic drama in which he and Robertson frequently take off rebounds, but neither can win the rebounds.

It was Hayward who ran to the basket in time and shot the rebound to Wei Xia from behind them, which solved the problem.

The ball was in Wei Xia's hands. He saw that the Cavaliers' defense was not as fast as before, so he made a decisive decision and speeded up the fast attack.

This time, the Cavaliers didn't even expect that someone wanted to foul him, and it was bad luck.

Wei Xia dribbled the ball to the frontcourt at the fastest speed, chased the top of the arc and shot a three-pointer simply, and no one in the Cavaliers could respond first.

Everyone can only look at the ball in the air.

"Shh!"

14 is better than 6
After half a quarter of the game, they fell behind by 8 points. This is still the 76ers without Cousins.

The initiative of the 76ers has reached the extreme, which makes people unbelievable that this is an away game.

The Cavaliers requested a timeout, and the first thing to do was to adjust the personnel on the wing.

Jefferson was so tired that he needed an oxygen tank. His physical strength had already developed problems and he could no longer continue playing, so he was replaced by Shumpert.

James went to play the fourth position, and Love went off.

Director Lu seems to be very angry with Love that he caught offensive rebounds in a row but failed to make up for it, instead allowing Wei Xia to make a chasing three-pointer.

"Go fight like a man!" he said before the timeout ended.

Replacing Love and letting James play the fourth position is tantamount to acquiescing that Love is not suitable for the 76ers to start no matter which lineup he plays.

As the Big Three, such an arrangement really makes people feel sorry for him.

This is not his problem alone. The Cavaliers are destined not to allow him to play as he likes in the Timberwolves, and they cannot afford to let Love let go of the brush.

Regardless of defense, Love is a very suitable four for James.

But in the playoffs, you can't ignore the defense.

In the playoffs of any era, the final battle is the intensity of offense and defense.

Love is just not strong enough on the offensive end and not strong enough on the defensive end. It is often difficult for this kind of player to perform in the regular season in the playoffs.

After the timeout, the 76ers adjusted their lineup like the Cavaliers.

Jay Wright seems to have foreseen that James will be assigned to the fourth position. His approach is to let Hayward play the third position and Wei Xia play the fourth position.

The lineup remains the same, just the positions have changed.

Wei Xiamen is clear about playing the fourth position under Wright, not to mention the opponent is James, he can't wait for it.

But one round is careless.

Irving is not sharp, but he breaks through with the ball in a variety of moves, passing Holiday's defense beautifully.

He ran through the 76ers' penalty area from outside the three-point line, and was slapped by Wei Xia from behind.

It's a pity that the mantis catches the cicada, and the oriole is behind.

Owen eats hats, and James.

He jumped up to catch the pinned ball and directly scored a dunk.

8 is better than 14
From the intensity of the opening, to the Cavaliers keeping up with the intensity, to the 76ers playing a small climax to force the Cavaliers to pause, and the 76ers continue to lead.

The two sides began to fully enter the rhythm of the game, and a stalemate began.

James made a supplementary dunk here, and when he came back, Hayward broke through the free throw line and scored a throw.

Then there was James, who actively asked for the ball to attack, causing Wecha's defensive foul, and made two shots from the free throw line.

10 is better than 16
"I believe that the 76ers and the Cavaliers will bite until the last moment. This is a game that will not have a conclusion until the last second."
