This striker is a bit of a monster

Chapter 301 Tie-break, leading by 19 points at halftime

Probably except for Barkley, no one could have predicted that the Charlotte Bobcats could play seven games with the Cleveland Cavaliers, and even almost won the opponent directly in the sixth game.

Big Z's injury report was announced on the official media on the second night. The sole of his left foot was fractured, which was slightly lighter than expected. It was probably able to catch up with the training camp for next season, but this season's playoffs Just forget about it.

Now all the pressure is on the Cleveland Cavaliers. Although they have the home court advantage in G7, but the absence of two big players inside, the current Cleveland Cavaliers are as struggling as they are.

Of course, despite this, fans of the Cleveland Cavaliers still firmly believe that the home team will use their tenacious performance to defeat their opponents and get the first ticket to the Eastern Conference Finals.

As for the Bobcats, Larry Brown held a very, very long meeting with his disciples. For the Charlotte Bobcats, the next game was also a game of either going home to fish or winning.

The quick loan center of G7, Mr. Jordan personally supervised the battle.

As one of the many hailed as Jordan's successors, and possibly the closest player, LeBron James has been placed with too many expectations by fans.

"Take Cleveland!"

This is the mobilization slogan before the game.

In this game, the Bobcats also made adjustments in the lineup. Emeka Okafor teamed up with James Posey to partner inside. James Posey also went up to defend LeBron James. Mike Dunleavy played the third position , the back line is still Zhou Lin's partner Roy.

The Cleveland Cavaliers can only put Ben Wallace, whose official height is 2.06 meters but the actual height may be around 2.01, on the court, and James still plays the fourth position.

Yu Jia still asked this question before the game: "Teacher Su Qun, can you tell me about the time when the Bobcats and Cavaliers won today?"

This question is actually easy to say.

"What the Charlotte Bobcats have to do is actually very simple. First, on the offensive end, in this game, you can choose to take more shots at the basket. Ben Wallace is no longer the big Ben in the Pistons period. , In fact, his ability to protect the frame is very limited now, whether it is Emeka Okafor now, or Yi Jianlian or Roy Hibbert who may come up later, they will also have obvious advantages in size , so today the Lynx team must play a role in the interior, and as the main commander, I believe that Zhou Lin will also shift the focus of scoring and helping his teammates to the interior. Another point, defense, James This point must be said. In this game, the Bobcats can make a proper flank attack. In addition, they must have a sense of oppression on the outside ball holders. They cannot let Mo Williams and Szczerbiak like the previous game. It’s the same, it’s that simple to cast.”

"As for the Cavaliers, it really depends on James. On the defensive end, the Cavaliers must have a hard time strangling the Bobcats. The Bobcats started this game, and four of the five players have a stable three-point output. Yes, and because the inside line is tight today, the Cavaliers will definitely shrink their defense. They have to make a choice, whether to give three points or give it to the inside line. Anyway, the short quilt cannot cover both ends. Therefore, the Cavaliers must win if they want to win. Yes, it can only be opened on the offensive end to bring up the rhythm."

Su Qun's point of view is also very clear. From the perspective of the lineup, the Cavaliers lack a long board in this big bucket, and there must not be much water in it.

The current advantage of the Cavaliers is the home court. In addition, some unreasonable offenses are needed, or there may be one or two surprise soldiers. Just like Szczerbiak in the last game, he desperately played some brilliant performances .

If it is said to be played in a satisfactory manner, there is a high probability that this game will be lost.

Today's Quicken Loan Center was full of seats, and the tickets were sold out in a very short period of time after the end of G6 the night before yesterday.

On the other hand, the shots from the sidelines were constantly showing Mr. Joe, who was chewing gum and looked very calm.

Soon, the storyboard was given to LeBron James.

Soon, the screen shared a picture of Mr. Jordan being interviewed.

"LeBron? He is a very good player, but if you want to beat me, you must first beat my team. For the next ten years, the Bobcats will have a place in the East. We have already begun to try to win the championship. Maybe even my players will win the championship before LeBron James, so if I want to discuss whether James can reach my height, let’s talk about it when he is 40 years old, if he has won the championship by then. "

Mr. Joe pretended again, what can James compare to me, he doesn't have a ring, even my team can't beat.

In fact, the arrival of Jordan also inspired James to fight this game to a certain extent.

"I won't let accidents happen!"

James still firmly believes that the Cavaliers can win this game.

Yes, if even he doesn't believe that the team can win, then is it necessary to continue this game?
Ben Wallace, who cut off his afro, is no longer a teenager after all, and that retro afro has also become history. With his gutter hair, he is a little shorter than Okafor from the naked eye Shorter, even shorter than James, and without the blessing of this section of hair, Ben Wallace will eventually return to normal and mediocrity.

Okafor basically jumped from Ben Wallace's hand to the opening ball without any suspense.

"Okay, the game officially begins!"

Zhou Lin held the ball for halftime, and the Bobcats still played from the pick-and-roll. After the pick-and-roll, Zhou Lin gave Roy a cut, and Roy scored the first goal of the game with a throw.

Daben is really no longer the monster who can guard the basket. He can barely handle a pick-and-roll, but he basically can only watch the second wave of cutting impact.

However, he probably knew that this game had to rely on his own performance, so LeBron James threw a three-pointer in the first goal after the opening, and after scoring, James took a look at The team owner Michael Jordan, who sat on the Bobcats' bench, seemed to be responding to Jordan's previous remarks.

In fact, in this round of the series, James' total three-point shooting rate was as low as 26%, which was much lower than the regular season, but even so, the Bobcats players still did not dare to let James go. .

"This ball is tough!"

"The current James is really a bit like Kobe in the past two years. This feeling of a lonely hero has really come out."

Even though the support rate of the fan hotline opened in China now shows that the Bobcats have obtained more than 94% support rate, but as a commentator, they can't really be too far-fetched, so they will stand on the side of the Cavaliers to think.

However, there are still loopholes in the Cleveland Cavaliers. This time, Roy's breakthrough attracted James Posey, who passed the defense to the outside line. Posey was breaking through, and then passed to Zhou Lin. .

The current lineup of the Cleveland Cavaliers can withstand one or two breakthrough attacks, but if the Bobcats run the ball and have more players involved in the offense, the weakness of the Cleveland Cavaliers inside will definitely be exposed.

Looking back, James was double-teamed and given to Szczerbiak who was on the outside. Szczerbiak did not replicate the magical posture of the first quarter of the previous game, and made a three-pointer. However, James was very active in rushing for rebounds. He pushed away James Posey and rushed to grab from Emeka Okafor's arms abruptly.

The two were instantly entangled.

"Scrimmage!"

"It's just started, and there was a scrimmage! It can be seen that James is really fighting 100% now. The shooting and passing, even grabbing rebounds and defending the inside are all done by himself."

And this round, James actually jumped and beat Okafor who was slightly taller than him, helping the team get another wave of possession.

But James' efforts did not translate into scoring in this round.

Xiao Mo received a pass from James and broke through for a layup, but was slapped away by Emeka Okafor.

Okafor was originally a player who was good at blocking shots, not to mention that now he has become the tallest one on the court, and the surrounding mountains are small.

It can be regarded as a little like that there are no tigers in the mountains, and monkeys are called kings.

Da Ben saw it in his eyes, his eyes were full of himself when he was young!
Big Ben's offensive ability is too weak, so Emeka Okafor's supplementary defense is really resolute.

The Bobcats got the ball, and Zhou Lin played the ball extremely fast, and it was given to Mike Dunleavy, who was coming down quickly, and the white shooter made a rare dunk.

"There are no traditional big centers on both sides, and the rhythm of offense and defense has naturally increased. In fact, the fast pace is still a little bit good for the Cleveland Cavaliers. After all, they are really difficult to play positional warfare, but now It was the Bobcats who were playing back, and that was a bit of a bad situation for the Cleveland Cavaliers."

"Yeah, if the Cavaliers want to win, they can't let the Charlotte Bobcats start on the road."

6-3 start.

The Cavaliers used a scoring method that they are not particularly good at. James shot a three-pointer and scored the only sports score so far, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that it is a bit too difficult for the Cleveland Cavaliers to get inside. It’s not that they don’t want to go inside. Hit, but it's really a big deal.

The fans in the Quicken Loans Arena are probably missing Anderson Varejao and Big Z very much.

On the other hand, for the Charlotte Bobcats, the three sports goals were all scored by rushing to the basket. Although Okafor's current advantage is only to contribute on the defensive end, he has not performed on the offensive end for the time being. Cafu's pawn was completely used by Larry Brown.

The entire first quarter is basically a repetition of 2 minutes before the opening.

Larry Brown is constantly deploying in-out tactics, breaking through the ball, breaking through the ball, making high-profile baskets, and cutting outside to the basket. For the fans and players of Cleveland, this is simply a torture, because of the height, Footsteps, both aspects are at a disadvantage.

Even Su Qun said that Larry Brown really studied the Cleveland Cavaliers to death, basically hitting the snake on the seven inches. If the Bobcats can't win this game, then It's really a bit disappointing to Larry Brown's tactics and such a good opportunity.

However, the Cavaliers, who sit at home, still got some opportunities. The only one who can go inside and make it is James. When James was interrupted in the first quarter, he rushed inside a few times and created Oka. A foul by Fu, plus a rebound foul, Okafor, who had accumulated two fouls, was replaced by Yi Jianlian a little early.

But the Bobcats still have plenty of inside reserves. After Yi Jianlian, there is Roy Hibbert in the rotation. In the lineup of one big and four small, the three big men will not be used up.

However, Yi Jianlian's effect on the court is not as good as Okafor's. Although he is two inches taller than Okafor, Yi Jianlian's blocking ability is average and his type is different. However, Yi Jianlian still uses his own two mid-range shots. Help the team.

30-21!

The Charlotte Bobcats led the Cleveland Cavaliers by nine points in the first quarter.

During the period, the point difference even widened to 12 points.

As for James, he scored 21 points in the 12st quarter of the first quarter, and he has already tried his best.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Bobcats started a normal rotation. Zhou Lin and Roy staggered to lead the team and got enough time to rest.

Looking at the situation today, James is going to play the whole game. In the first 2 minutes of the game when Roy led the team, the Cavaliers, Pavlovic and Szczerbiak scored three points. The score was once narrowed to 5 points, but Mike Dunleavy's three-pointer came.

The Bobcats, who shot few shots in the first quarter and had a poor shooting percentage, split the three-pointer in the second quarter. Specifically, Mike Dunleavy's three-pointer split. This was also the foreshadowing of the first quarter. Bombing the inside, and the effect is not bad, Mike. Brown had to be told to narrow the defensive circle after timeouts, shrink the basket, and protect the rebounds at the same time.

And Mike Dunleavy is also the kind of player who may come in a series of three-pointers as soon as he comes.

In the middle of the third quarter, he made three three-pointers!

Let the Charlotte Bobcats directly open the point difference to 15 points.

"Mike Dunleavy's three-pointers are not only scoring, but also trampling on the Cavaliers' tactics. If you shrink the basket, I will punish you again and again from outside the three-point line. Now, Mike Brown wants Difficulty!"

"James in this game reminds me of James in the 07 Finals."

"James has really tried his best."

"Why does it look a bit pitiful? You shouldn't be beaten if you shout James to come on."

Seeing James fearlessly attacking the inside again and again, and using hand-to-hand combat again and again to help the team get weak points, but the point difference is still being opened step by step. There is also a certain fan base in China. In the chat room, expressed some emotion.

But it's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice, not to mention if the competition is about cooking, Mike Brown is a first-class chef, then Larry Brown should be a special chef. Larry Brown's steady and ruthless, really The Cavaliers are pretty good at it.

At halftime, the Bobcats led by 58 points 39-19.

For the Bobcats, the highest scorer was Dunleavy with 11 points and 4 rebounds. In this game, he was going to steal the show and become the protagonist.

On the Cavaliers' side, James scored 39 points out of 20 points, more than half, and also had 7 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal and 1 block. This is completely the feeling of holding the team on his shoulders.

And the 19-point halftime difference is only 2 point less than G20's 1-point halftime difference.

Yu Jiadao: "The Cavaliers dug a bit big. I think the Bobcats have at least a 70% winning percentage."

Su Qun nodded and said: "No problem, the probability of a big fall behind is actually very small. This kind of big fall behind is also a heavy blow to the player's psychological level. Let's talk about the G2 game. I also took the lead in this stadium. The overturn of 20 points must have become a profound lesson for the Bobcats players. How dare this game be sloppy? They will definitely be more cautious in the second half and will not easily repeat the same mistakes. Moreover, the Cleveland Cavaliers are not the complete team they were in G2. The Cleveland Cavaliers, and in this game, Xiaomo is a bit invisible. Although James scored 20 points again in the half, but to turn the game over, besides James, at least 1-2 players need to stand up Crazy score."
