Chapter 152 Confidence
In the second quarter of the game, the Cavaliers' bench lineup played well today. Kevin Ollie, Eric Williams, and Tony Batty all played in the second quarter.

Especially Eric Williams, after starting more than a dozen games, his strength has grown. As a member of the "New Iron Triangle", he has become the first firepower on the bench.

"I feel that the substitute lineup is suitable for me." Bucktooth Eric said with a smile during the intermission.

In the second quarter, he personally scored 6 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist, and he was in the small forward position, so he played more easily.

What Eric Williams said does not mean that he is not self-motivated. As one of the few experienced veterans in the Cavaliers, Bucktooth Eric has already found his position.In the starting lineup, he was at the power forward position, and he did not have an advantage in all aspects.This means that he has a good temper and works hard without complaint, which would be unbearable for others.

Returning to the bench and small forward position, he can play more flexibly, mainly because he feels more comfortable.

The 45 to 44 Cavaliers substitute lineup led the score by one point in the second quarter.

"I was still worried that the score would be drawn in the second quarter. You guys relieved me a lot of pressure." Ling Bo said to Eric and Kevin.

"Ling, why don't you praise me? How did I perform today?" Carlos Boozer put his arm on Ling Bo's shoulder and asked like a jealous woman.

"Fierce, as fierce as yours!" Limbo said to Boozer with a thumbs up.

"That's a must. You see, that Kenyon Martin still wants to bully me when I'm young. Hmph, he doesn't even try to push me with his body." Boozer felt a little elated when he was praised.

Fortunately, James said: "Don't be too happy, there is still the second half. It is estimated that by the third quarter, our physical fitness will drop a lot, especially Big Z."

Ling Bo also took a look at the bald man. Ilgauskas' attendance rate is [-]%, and his playing time is no shorter than that of Ling Bo and James. In addition to long-term internal fights and rebounds, his physical consumption is the greatest. .

"Let's take one step at a time, and stabilize the third quarter first, can you still do it?" Ling Bo asked.

"How can a man say that he can't do it?" Before James could speak, Boozer poked his head out from between the two and rushed to say.

In the second half, they changed sides and fought again. Limbo still controlled the basketball. Kidd finally stopped letting Limbo dribble. He attacked him.

But Kidd made a mistake. When a master stealer meets another master stealer, it is bound to be a battle between dragons and tigers. However, Ling Bo has the cloud-exploring hand, so there is no such thing as a fight between dragons and tigers. With fine-grained internal strength, he can always avoid Kidd's sudden stretches. out of hand.

Limbo originally dribbled the ball quickly, but when Kidd reached out for the ball, he deliberately slowed down. Kidd hit the back of Limbo's hand and knocked the ball out of the court.

The sharp-eyed referee immediately gave a defensive foul.

Kidd was very speechless, and he was probably the one who was talking about it.

"You can't take it away. If you don't believe it, it will only increase your foul times." Ling Bo reminded.

Kidd didn't think it was Ling Bo's arrogance, on the contrary, he had already paid for a foul.From Ling Bo's tone, what he felt was self-confidence. This kind of self-confidence no matter who you are, he would say that, and it was the same with Michael Jordan standing in front of him.

"Thank you for your reminder." Kidd responded friendly.

As for how he won the NBA Sportsmanship Award, no matter when he always maintains a normal state of mind, he does not get angry or provoke.

The game continued, Kidd remained steady, and the Nets' shooting percentage remained stable.

When Kidd assisted Kenyon Martin to complete the dunk, Kenyon Martin was an inside thug. In the first half, he was slightly suppressed by the excited Boozer, and finally found a catharsis point at this moment.

In the second half of the third quarter, the overall state of the Cavaliers was sluggish. Even James failed to make a mid-range shot. Even though Lingbo had already attracted two defensive players, his athletic ability declined, and his running speed was not as fast as others. Without the strength of the opponent, the knight fell behind in an instant.

Ling Bo had no choice but to strengthen his offense and at the same time pass the ball to Boozer, who was physically strong.

The more excited Kenyon Martin gave Boozer a solid cap in defense, while showing off his muscles, he raised his chin provocatively toward Boozer.

Boozer is also a hot-tempered master. When he is provoked face to face, he is about to explode. Fortunately, Ling Bo is beside him, grabbing the jersey on his back and dragging Boozer back.

"We're here to play, not to fight. If we want to prove ourselves, we must play." Ling Bo said seriously.

"I know, I'm impulsive."

Ling Bo said again: "He just wanted to piss you off. Now other people's physical fitness has declined, only you and I are still normal, so you must stabilize your mentality. The more you talk to him, the more proud he will be. You only have to prove that you are better than him." Strong, let him know that the clown is himself, and he will shut up honestly."

For the rest of the third quarter, Boozer performed quite well. He kept Limbo's words in mind, and no matter how provocative Kenyon Martin was, he ignored them.

For the Cavaliers in the third quarter, they played very badly, with a low shooting percentage. Limbo's several very good passes were all in vain because of his teammates' poor touch.

At the end of the third quarter, the Cavaliers were exhausted. Even James was in a trance due to playing for a long time, not to mention Ilgauskas who was fighting inside.

"In the fourth quarter, LeBron rested first, Eric went to the 3 position, and Tony Batty went to the center position." Head coach Paul Silas said.

"Coach, me." James hesitated to speak.

Paul Silas said sternly: "Now is not the time to be brave, you should rest for 3-5 minutes to recover your strength."

Turning to look at Ling Bo again, he said, "Ling, your task is to maintain the current 8 point difference, and you can't be pulled away. As long as the point difference is within 5 points, we will have a decisive battle with them in the last [-] minutes. "

Ling Bo nodded, and said something that surprised the head coach:
"Coach, you look handsome today."

The head coach rubbed the back of his head, apparently not understanding why Ling Bo made such a statement.

In previous games, even if we lost, Paul Silas would always use the excuse that we are rookies and the lineup needs to be tempered.It's different now, Ling Bo and James have given full play in every game, spared no effort to win every game, this spirit not only infected the teammates, even the head coach was moved by it.

So Ling Bo said that he is handsome today, in fact, because he did not give up, but reasonably staggered the rest time of the main players, and made the final decisive battle.
