Chapter 259 Start

To be honest, it was the first time that I felt so good watching the game off the court. Lao Hu was very happy. It seemed that his teammates were still capable.

Thinking of this, Lao Hu was really relieved. He should believe in his teammates, they still have strength.Maybe it's in response to what Coach Tuo said, we are very strong!

"The third quarter is over, Mr. Xu, what do you think of the performance of the two sides?" Yu Jia finally stopped using Detective Di's tone this time.

"From the current point of view, huh, the Knicks' bench has performed very well. I am afraid that coach Mike Brown will let James come out early. This is also a no-brainer. After all, this is the home court of the Cavaliers. If they lose, That would be terrible, ha ha." Teacher Xu still commented with a smile, but he just didn't know if he could be right this time.

"Okay, players from both sides have returned to the field, the Eastern Conference semifinals between the Knicks and the Cavaliers, the last quarter of the first game will begin soon! Let's watch the game..."

The two sides returned to the floor again, and there was no change in the lineup. Of course, this is also normal. If you can let your main players rest for even 1 minute, it may affect the final result of the game.

The Knicks attacked first, this time after they made a simple pick-and-roll, Nate rushed to the basket and scored a goal with a not-so-difficult move.

76 to 67, the Knicks took the lead!

"Shhhhhhh..." The Clevelanders thought the little man was annoying to death, like a big mouse scurrying under his basket.

The Cavaliers' offense still has problems. Damon Jones can't find a chance to make a shot. His characteristic is to find an open shot when his 'boss' is double-teamed. Unfortunately, no one is double-teamed now.And Larry Hughes felt absent, and it seemed that he could only hope for the inside line.

In the end, Marshall threw a three-pointer from the outside, but unfortunately still missed.

The Knicks' bench continued their strength in the third quarter. Although the Cavaliers' bench also scored goals, their efficiency was not very high.

it has started!

Mike Brown began to make substitutions. It seemed that the situation on the field made him unacceptable. From the second minute, the Cavaliers replaced Pavlovich, Gooden and Big Z one after another.The Knicks are similar here, with coach Tony replacing David Lee, Balkman, and Ah Q.

After the substitution, the Cavaliers improved slightly. Pavlovich scored a three-pointer when he came up, which made the home fans happy for a while.

Beep!When the clock reached 3 minutes and 42 seconds, someone finally couldn't hold back, and Mike Brown called a timeout.Although the difference between 82 and 74 points in the score is slightly narrowed, Coach Brown can't waste time. He needs to reverse the situation as soon as possible, otherwise this game will become very difficult.

"After more than three points, it was timed out again. It seems that after this timeout, both sides should send their main players to play, and the game will enter the final stage of fighting." Yu Jia also expressed his views on the current situation.

"Hehe, the problem that the Cavaliers have to solve is their shooting percentage. If they can't make shots, they can't win this game. Hehe, their defense is already very good, but the problem now is to shoot the basketball into the basket. In the final analysis, the sport of basketball is a sport of scoring more goals than anyone else, so defense alone is not enough..." Next, Teacher Xu taught the TV audience a vivid lesson on the relationship between defense and offense.

Both sides on the basketball court are hurrying to arrange tactics, and they all hope to take the initiative in the game in the next time.

"Dantou, you have to control the whole team, let everyone's vitality play out, and kick your opponent's ass hard! Reiner, you are going to defend KING, OK?" It seems that Coach is also thinking of a way, his The idea is very simple, that is to replace Reynaldo Balkman and use this rookie to defend the 'Little Emperor'.

To be honest, when Balkman was still on the field, Lao Hu was very surprised, because he immediately understood Thomas' thoughts. One of the best players in the league.Although the rookie had defended against James before, it was all in the regular season.

"However, if you try, you might succeed." Lao Hu felt that there was nothing wrong with it.

With heavy responsibilities on his shoulders, it would be false to say that Balkman has no pressure, but he must not back down at this time.

"OK!" The rookie replied indifferently.

In fact, Thomas’s arrangement, from his own point of view, is still very satisfactory, because both Nate and Crawford need to rest, so it is better to let Ah Q play the scoring position, and then use Balkman to stick to LBJ. Should be good.

Now that the decision has been made, let's play!
As for how the Cavaliers arrange, Lao Hu doesn't care, anyway, he can only guess from the changes in the opponent's personnel.

"It came out, players from both sides returned to the field again, the Knicks sent Curry, Hulin, plus David Lee, Balkman, Richardson before, this is a relatively rare recent Lineup. The Cavaliers are, "Little Emperor" James, veteran Snow, Pavlovich, Gooden, Big Z, this lineup is quite common, and visually, the Cavaliers have an advantage in height. "As if just opening, Yu Jia introduced the main lineup of both sides.

It seems that the Cavaliers still have to play like that, if Hu continues to double-team.

However, this time Hu changed his strategy. That’s right, since Thomas has worked hard, let’s see the effect first. They have fought against each other before, but from Hu’s point of view, it’s hard to say Who's winning.Anyway, LeBron can score a lot of points, and Balkman can also play a certain role.

The Cavaliers went first, and they decisively chose LeBron James.

Seeing that Hu Lin didn't come over, and LeBron didn't call his teammates to come over, he was going to eat the rookie in front of him alone.

"Oh!..." The one-on-one on the court is what fans love to see. Although LeBron's opponent is not well-known now, this is still one-on-one.

back!LeBron took out his post-up technique, he quickly squeezed into a good position, and immediately turned over and shot a jumper.

Swish!Two points hit!

"Oh ho ho ho ho ho..." Cleveland fans were singing their Kings!
It seemed that when the little emperor exerted his full strength, almost no one could stop him.

82 to 76, the point difference narrowed slightly.

You have to score one, otherwise the opponent's momentum will come together, and there is really no way.

"Shhhhhh..."

It was indeed noisy enough, but Lao Hu chose to turn a deaf ear to it.

Snow is still there, and this is a point that can be exploited.

pick and roll!Lao Hu chose this tactic that has been used badly recently, but how to make full use of the Cavaliers' weaknesses?

Like an ordinary pick-and-roll, Lao Hu successfully spared Lao Li, and he also faced Drew Gooden as he wished.

In fact, this guy is also defending the black hole, but he is not in a hurry to hit him now.

When Lao Hu dribbled the ball to face Gooden, he chose to slow down, just like when he played Howard with Yaoming in the World Championships.And in this way, Gooden did not return to defend David Lee.

The reason is very simple, because the slow speed means that Hu Lin may shoot a three-pointer, and the fast speed means that he will break through, and just switch positions and let Snow retract.

Therefore, Lao Hu's speed made Gooden dare not go back easily, but although Lao Hu's speed was not fast, he was moving laterally.

Not only Lao Hu, but also Lao Li is also moving laterally, but their directions are completely opposite.

OK, pass the ball!

That's a big mismatch, one that would render Snow's defensive skills useless.

Swish!Lao Li just swayed and shot, but Snow couldn't touch the ball at all.

"Shhhhhh..."

84 to 76, and returned to the gap of 8 points.

"Good goal! The two sides are back to the situation where you score one and I score one. It's just that the situation of the Cavaliers is a bit unfavorable now, and they are still behind." Seeing that both sides scored goals, Yu Jia said so.

That's right, the Knicks are now leading, but this advantage is not very big. This is the Cavaliers' home court. When the opponent's morale rises, the game may be reversed in an instant. Therefore, Lao Hu must find a way to unify the opponent's attack.

The Cavaliers' style of play tends to be simplified, and it is simply for LeBron James to decide how to attack.

Without double-teaming, Lao Hu was still standing by and watching, as if this fellow was not going to double-team again.

That being the case, LeBron is not an inkblot person, and he immediately put on the look of eating alone.

bang, bang, bang...

The constant physical confrontation between LeBron and Balkman seems to be intertwined with the sound of dribbling, like a wonderful symphony.

Of course, this is the opinion of the literary youth. The parties on the field don't think so, at least Lao Hu doesn't think so.

Entering the danger zone, seeing James is about to turn over and shoot a jumper again!

superior!At this time, Lao Hu, like Carl Lewis who had taken stimulants, angrily rushed to LeBron James who was about to shoot.

"Drink!" Not only was there a movement, but a roar burst out of Lao Hu's mouth.

shoot!The action is coherent, even if LeBron wants to stop, he can't stop, he can only complete the shooting action first.

Bang!Missed this time!

"Very good, it seems to be working!" Lao Hu felt complacent for a while, it seemed that the trick of 'psychological interference' he had used many years ago hadn't been thrown away yet.

That's right, it did work. Hu Lin's flailing, yelling, and menacing behavior did indeed affect LeBron. Of course, Lao Hu actually didn't exaggerate so much.However, from the point of view of the little emperor, this is the case.

To put it bluntly, Lao Hu's method is to change the timing of the double-team, no longer put the double-team there as blatantly and nakedly as before, but wait for LeBron to enter his area, and attack.

So, how will the little emperor respond?
