The NBA started with helping Iverson win the championship

Chapter 83 The Immortals Can't Save the Knights
The Cavaliers fans at the scene all gasped.

This kind of tomahawk-style snap button, and it was used by James, how can someone force it head-on?
What the hell is this monster?

Michael Curry looked terrified and regretted letting Li Xun play center forward.

This is too hard!
Usually this kind of violent dunk, if you can't prevent it, just let him go.

Unexpectedly, Li Xun was so aggressive, risking injury, he just pushed James down.

Li Xun on the field did not dare to show a painful look on his face.

If it really comes out, with James' shrewd mind, he doesn't know how many dunks he will have to rush in tonight.

Resisting the tingling pain, Li Xun passed the ball to his teammates and began to fight back with the team.

After the ball reached the frontcourt, Li Xun plunged into the penalty area.

Until now, the soreness and numbness in my arm has not subsided, so I definitely don't want to think about offense, it's better to grab rebounds honestly.

Afflalo made a three-pointer and missed.

Big Z's jumping height is not as good as Yao Ming's. As for Big Ben, his current rebounding strength is not as good as before.

After Li Xun squeezed away the big Z, he jumped up and received the offensive rebound.

Then he didn't make a shot himself, and passed it directly to Rashid.

Rasheed made a straight-arm mid-range shot. The ball was very close to the basket and scored easily.

"Pretty!"

"That's the way to fight!"

Rasheed cheered loudly.

After seeing Li Xun stepping up to the fifth position, it had a miraculous effect, and Rashid was full of a sense of accomplishment.

He is even thinking now, whether he should develop in the direction of a coach after he retires.

It's the Cavaliers' offensive round again.

James still holds the ball.

"Let him in!"

Li Xun still shouted the same sentence.

Hearing Li Xun's shout, James hesitated.

He has the confidence to do the tomahawk-style snap button just now, but what if Li Xun still blocks it?

Being blocked twice in a row is enough to make headlines tomorrow.

When he got near the free throw line, he saw that Li Xun didn't pull out to defend himself.

James simply jumped up on the spot, made an emergency stop and made a mid-range shot.

"boom!"

Maybe it was because he was thinking too much in his mind, and he hit the iron for this almost empty shot.

Li Xun took another board, and then led the team to continue to fight back.

Prince made a three-pointer in the frontcourt.

In just two offensive and defensive rounds, the Pistons scored five points in a row.

In these two offensive and defensive rounds, Li Xun also scored 3 rebounds, 1 block and 1 assist.

"My God, is this a duel between the league's top small forwards?"

"fantastic!"

"This is what basketball should be like, rushing to the basket to fight!"

When Barkley saw Li Xun confronting James' basket, his blood boiled with excitement.

These old guys can't wait to step back 20 years from the style of play in today's league.

In their opinion, these players are too soft now, they only know how to shoot and shoot.

"Cough cough."

"Charles, you don't really think Li Xun is a small forward, do you?"

"He's more center than center."

Kenny Smith couldn't help but remind Barkley.

"It doesn't matter where he is."

"I only know that there is another insurmountable mountain on James' road to winning the championship."

Barkley grinned.

He didn't have a good impression of James, and he smiled happily when he saw James was deflated.

It's not aimed at James, but Barkley's big mouth, whoever catches him sprays.

Spray James for being soft and complaining every day at critical moments, spray Kobe for playing selfishly, spray the Warriors jumper team, and spray Pippen for selling his face.

Spray Jordan for being ungrateful and ungrateful, regardless of the friendship of his teammates.

Spray David Stern for double standards.

Surprisingly, such a Barkley took extra care of Li Xun.

Ever since he made that bet with Kenny Smith, he seemed to have really become a loyal fan of Li Xun.

It may be that Li Xun really saw his youthful figure in Li Xun.

It may also be that Li Xun's extremely retro and traditional style of play allows him to recall his glory days from time to time.

……

Cavaliers coach Mike Brown on the sidelines looked solemn.

He sensed that something was wrong.

In these two offensive and defensive rounds, Li Xun's defense against James was obviously a defense against breakthroughs.

If you want to shoot, you can shoot whatever you want, but if you want to break through and make a layup, there is no way.

As the Cavaliers coach, how could he not know the current shortcomings of James.

Counting on James to lead the team to kill the game by relying on mid-range shots?
That's either the Cavaliers' luck is good enough, or the Pistons' luck is bad enough.

It's not that there is no solution, that is to let James play the ball for his teammates. The three-pointers of West and Mo Bu are still very accurate.

If the two of them can throw away, the situation is still in their favor for the Cavaliers.

It's a pity that a head coach like his personal nanny can't call a timeout and ask James to pass the ball.

As the game passed minute by minute, Li Xun became more and more shocked.

In the case of a bad start, after he took the center position, the effect was so good.

Because he sits at the basket, it is no longer possible for James to attack the basket so frequently.

Even if he hits the basket, it is impossible for him to maintain such a terrifying 72.8% shooting rate. After all, Li Xun is not made of mud.

The current Li Xun is completely a monster that combines the characteristics of Big Ben and Canby when he blocked the shot.

The strength is comparable to Daben, but also has the flexibility of Camby.

If such a monster sits at the basket, if it can't limit James' breakthrough, then this year's championship should be directly awarded to James.

Relying on his mid-range shots and occasional attacks at the basket, James' scoring data is still rising.

However, due to the low scoring efficiency, the point difference between the Cavaliers and the Pistons has been gradually widened.

By the end of the first half, the Pistons had led by 8 points.

Li Xun didn't take many shots at all in the first half. He took 4 shots in total, hit two mid-range shots, and made two free throws. He scored a total of six points.

Not many points, but Li Xun's other statistics are very good.

6分13篮板6助攻3盖帽1抢断，今晚看样子李勋至少又能入账一个三双。

James scored a lot higher than Li Xun, but other statistics are far inferior to Li Xun.

14次出手换来了14分3篮板3助攻1盖帽1抢断。

Putting this offensive efficiency on other players may be okay, but putting it on James will definitely fail.

In the second half, Brother Bread directly put Big Ben on the bench and put Szczerbiak on it.

Szczerbiak was selected as an All-Star when he was young and is also a well-known marksman.

Even though I am getting older now, my projection skills are still the same as before.

James also realized that it was not an option for him to continue fighting like this, it was a slow suicide.

He also started to make the ball for his teammates, and he also started to shoot some three-pointers himself.

The Cavaliers are not magic. They don't have such a deep three-point background. After such a shot, the situation did not get much relief.

The more Li Xun fought, the happier he became.

Looking at the situation of tonight's game, if the Pistons meet the Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference semifinals, they have a great chance of winning.

Not to mention being sure, at least there must be a [-]% to [-]% chance of winning.

Unless James can develop a more reliable basket before the playoffs start.

Unfortunately, this is impossible.

The time when James' career shooting really improved was after joining the Heat, the accuracy of the CIC has improved significantly.

Now there is only so little time left before the playoffs. It can be said that even the gods can't save the Cavaliers.
