Healing Basketball

Chapter 947 947. Raging waves are an attitude
Well, it's really just as Liu Xiu guessed!
Mike Brown just wants to use Liu Xiu to stimulate James' potential.

The Cavaliers didn't expect to train James into a defensive master at the beginning, so they introduced Larry Hughes, a first-defense boss.

Judging from James' defensive performance in the first four years of his career, the Cavaliers' management feels that it is considered good if James can improve his defense to the point where he does not lag behind, so he has been collecting players with excellent defense in various positions.

But I didn't expect that James' defensive talent is so good. After actively developing it for a summer, he has made such obvious progress.

The Cavaliers decisively adjusted the established plan, from building a '4-on-1' defense to building a defensive system around James.

Relying on the willingness of the Cavaliers owner to spend money, Larry Hughes, a former top scoring star, used it as a defensive and unstable pitcher, easily creating a top-five defense in the league.

As long as James' defense can reach the best defense level, Mike Brown is confident that he will be the strongest defense in the league.

The way to stimulate James' defensive potential, Mike Brown chose to let James defend the opponent with the strongest outside scorer.

James' defense has improved a lot this year, and then... was blasted by various stars.

Whoever hit him exploded.

In Mike Brown's view, this is the only way to become a defensive master.

If you want to become a defensive master, you have to have a thick skin!
Those well-known defensive masters, Kobe, Kidd, Bowen, Raja Bell, have been beaten countless times, because they defend the opponent's strongest singles almost every game.

However, Liu Xiu is very different from other stars...

He really keeps casting and casting!

The three starters can’t play. Korver is a flank support point, averaging 17-4 shots in 5 minutes per game; Hill is also a support point, adding a high post support point; LaFrentz only eats inside; Millsap occasionally plays One pick and roll, rushing most of the time...

If the warden doesn't vote, who will vote?

In the first quarter, Liu Xiuli made a sudden outside shot and shot wildly. When the big Z was on the court, if the big Z could move in place, Liu Xiu would make an emergency stop on the outside to make a jump shot. If he judged that the big Z could not move in place, he would rush into the inside line for a European step or a sports car throw.

Big Z played for 7 minutes and was replaced, so he tried his best...

詹姆斯9投4中，加上4中3的罚球，单节拿到11分1板2助攻，自觉已经拼尽全力。

As a result, after the first quarter, he looked at the stats of the guy on the opposite side and contributed a wave of healing points...

刘秀12投5中，其中三分球1中1，加上4中4的罚球，单节15分3助攻！

The Trail Blazers didn't have Kwame-Brown couldn't guard James, so he chose to shrink, but the Cavaliers' outside shooting performance was poor. James made 9 of 4 shots alone and scored 11 points. His teammates made 10 of 3 shots and only got 11 points. [-] points.

开拓者队这边，刘秀真正的把团队进攻组织起来了，希尔2分2板；科沃尔4投2中其中一个进球是三分球，拿到5分；法外狂徒拿到5分；麦克戴斯拿到2分1盖帽……

29 to 22, the Trail Blazers led the Cavaliers by 7 points in the first quarter!
...

Liu Xiu's indiscriminate attack in the first quarter made the Cavaliers unable to react.

James still can't play the role of Larry Hughes. If the Cavaliers continue to use Larry Hughes to defend the top arc this year, and James will play the second, the Cavaliers may play the top three defenses in the league.

But compared to the top three defenses in the league, the Cavaliers' goal is the strongest and the championship, and they chose to sacrifice part of their defense, that is, Larry Hughes.

If the ability is not used, it will degenerate. Just like McGrady, when he is a pure scorer next to Kidd, he doesn't need to worry about anything. Now he goes to the Knicks, and his peak age is not as good as when he was 21 and [-] years old.

Liu Xiu didn't feel sorry for Larry Hughes either.

There was a news a while ago that Larry Hughes went fishing and was recognized by the fans. After asking him if he regretted joining the Cavaliers, he made himself useless. Larry Hughes did not answer. The fans thought he was angry... As a result, when Larry Hughes left, he threw the keys of the sports car worth 10,000+ dollars to the fan, and left a sentence——

"I'm very sad. I don't feel any reluctance to throw away 10,000+ now."

Leading by 7 points in the first quarter, the Cavaliers were not discouraged. In the second quarter, the Cavaliers' hand-to-hand defense finally had an effect.

这一节开拓者队全队22投仅6中，加上8中7的罚球，只拿到19分！
Relying on James' 7 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists, the Cavaliers scored 24 points in a single quarter, narrowing the point difference to two points!

After returning from the halftime break, James continued his efforts, with 9 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists in a single quarter, leading the Cavaliers to 22 points, and the defensive end continued to be strong, preventing the Trail Blazers from only scoring 20 points.

The Trail Blazers only made 17 of 7 shots in the third quarter, not much better than the second quarter. It seems that the shooting rate has improved, but it is actually more turnovers and fewer offensive rebounds.

三节打完，靠着詹姆斯的27分6板7助攻1抢断1盖帽，骑士队以68比68追平开拓者队！

The fans at the scene were annoyed and anxious, and the atmosphere at the Devil's home court became manic.

The three-point champion, the butcher, and the parallel import champion, the three all-stars can't beat them, and they are actually suppressed by the mere Cavaliers!

The Cavaliers players were extremely excited. Most of their players did not have much confidence in beating the Trail Blazers, but they were very confident when they lost three of the four starters. They were hammered by Liu Xiu in the first quarter. They did not despair, but maintained sufficient confidence.

However, KING James, their front man, frowned.

开拓者队第二节开始进攻是崩了，但又没完全崩，开拓者队第二节全队22投6中，刘秀一个人10投4中拿到11分；第三节开拓者队全队17投7中，刘秀一个人10投5中拿到12分。

Liu Xiu made 32 of 14 shots and scored 38 points after three quarters!
The two major scorers Ray Allen and Randolph can't play. The Cavaliers' defense against Liu Xiu has reached the extreme, and it has indeed played a great limit, but it still can't completely limit it!

If we continue to strengthen the defense, we will not be able to guarantee the defense of Korver and Blake's two big three-pointers on the flanks, and there will be more opportunities for Millsap's cut-in or McDyess's catch-up shot.

Unless it is a last resort, it will not be guarded like that.

James suppressed the anxiety in his heart. They have dominated for two consecutive rounds. The 7 points lost in the first quarter have been tied, and the victory will be reaped next...

At the end of the intermission, James completed his psychological adjustment and led his teammates to play the crucial final quarter.

Then, as soon as the fourth quarter began, James and his teammates were stunned...

Liu Xiu first made a counter-attack dunk with a steal, then a three-pointer with an anti-aircraft gun after a pick-and-roll, and then a close-range diving throw...Scored three goals in a row, and played a wave of 7-2 alone!
