Chapter 136 Halftime Lead
The supersonic's outside firepower is still strong and continuous, and they frequently grab points on the outside.

The Cavaliers' offense was not bad either. After Radmanovich hit a three-pointer, James did not let the Sonics stand alone. One person, one goal, went to the frontcourt without any hesitation, and directly broke through Luke with the ball in the middle. Ridnor.

In the middle of the three-point line, a dexterous step down dribble, shot the basketball from left to right, and suddenly changed direction, catching the opponent by surprise.

Lucidno was almost shaken to the ground, but fortunately, his center of gravity was low and his feet were nimble, so he adjusted back in an instant.

However, James calmly rushed into the paint, pulled the ball up, got up in two steps, dodged in the air, stretched and stretched past Jerome James' block.

Although they both have James in their names, their performances are very different. One is in the sky and the other is in the ground.

What does Jerome James even want to do?I don't have that much thought, I just work hard to do the dirty work and put up good numbers. On the bright stage of the NBA, like a rambunctious dog, stay a little longer.

James doesn't care about the opponent's humble thoughts, he just wants to send the basketball into the basket. After avoiding the defense, he can still hook it with ease. The basketball spins from the right side and flies to the basket, rubbing the backboard with a clear sound , as if he had eyes, he drilled into the basket precisely.

James' one-stop wonderful goal did not allow the Cavaliers to open the score between the two sides.

Although Lewis did not receive the basketball, Lucidno assigned the basketball to Ronald Murray. Murray was not polite, and directly dribbled the ball with his back to single Wagner, crushing Wagner deep into the horns, and suddenly pulled the ball to Turning around on the right side, he was slamming east and west, changing steps with his feet, and directly wiped into the inside line from the left side from the turn.

Two steps and one leap, easy to pick baskets at close range.

Wagner is 188cm tall and has good offensive strength, but his defense is very poor. He is not strong in physical confrontation. Facing Murray, who has a strong style of play and obviously swelled the ball, he can only be pressed to the ground and rubbed.

On the Cavaliers' bench, Lin Bai frowned. He had thought that the Cavaliers' defensive lineup would be terrible in the second quarter, but he didn't expect it to be so bad.

You must know that the Sonics are rebuilding, and the bench lineup is also very weak. In order to compete for the championship, the draft picks in hand have been exhausted. In the past few years, there have been almost no lottery rookies. The same is not true, such a lineup actually played with the Cavaliers in an orderly manner.

Even in the limelight, they still loom over the Cavaliers!
You say this is too obvious a home game advantage?

This is too fake!

You know, despite the fact that the Cavaliers' current lineup is not well-known except for James, the other players are not well-known, but these few are high-ranking rookies in recent years, so why shouldn't they behave so badly?
Let's not talk about James, the No. 03 pick of the [-] platinum generation.

Miles' pick is not low, he was the No. 2000 pick in the [-] draft.

Diop was the eighth overall pick in 2001.

As for Wagner, it was the No. 2002 pick in [-].

Even Kapono was among the top three picks in the second round of the 03 generation.

If the strength is not full, the potential talent can always be crushed, right?

In the end, it was still a little bit of a disadvantage, and Lin Bai was naturally very dissatisfied.

So, with a big wave of his hand, Brown, who is both offensive and defensive, replaced Wagner, who can only attack chaotic battles, and then replaced Kapono, who was blown up, with Boozer.

Send the signal to attack and grab points to build a lead.

The Cavaliers made adjustments. Supersonics head coach McMillan looked calm and did not respond. He chose to trust the players on the field.

As soon as the Cavaliers were replaced, they immediately launched a sudden attack.

James dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, Boozer understood it, immediately raised the high position, made a pick-and-roll cooperation with James, and then made an air cut.

Without hesitation, James made an overhead pass to the inside.

Boozer received the ball, played big and small under the basket, dribbled a step, carried Lucidno on his shoulders, forced a basket, jumped up in two steps, and smashed the basketball into the basket with both hands.

The powerful strikers of James and Boozer show their sharpness, and the ball is a threat.

Looking back, James defended the top of the small forward, defended Radmano who was the main defense, and Myers topped the point guard.

When Lucidno saw Myers' height, he thought it was a chance to play big. He immediately raised the ball over the top, slightly bent his knees, stood with his feet together, and made a three-point shot.

Miles didn't know if Lucidno had the basket, so he rushed to interfere, but he didn't jump up because of his height.

Lucidno didn't care if he could fool his opponent, he immediately got short, his footsteps made a sudden effort, and he dribbled the ball into the three-point line.

With long legs, Miles turned around and chased after him.

Lucidno didn't stop. Relying on his speed, he rushed to the basket like a lightning bolt. He didn't pause at all. He directly took the bow and shot the arrow, wanting to hit the basket and send the basketball into the basket.

Without being behind him, a black shadow appeared, jumped up, and with a bang, directly nailed the basketball to the backboard.

After receiving the rebound, he immediately distributed the ball to James for a quick counterattack.

In a three-on-two frontcourt, James broke through Ronald Muxue with the ball in the middle, relied on Murray's body to forcefully kill the basket, and smashed the basketball into the basket hard.

Miles, who followed behind, rose into the air, held the ball with both hands, and dunked the basketball into the basket.

He dunked and scored two points.

Landing, Miles took the initiative to give James a high-five to celebrate.

Supersonic offense, Lucidno did not dare to force the physically perverted Miles, passed the ball to Lewis on the left, and singled out Boozer.

After catching the ball and raising it in the air, Boozer stretched out his hand to interfere. Lewis didn't have a chance to face the frame, so he chose to play singles with his back.

Squeezed two steps with his back and swayed his shoulders. Boozer was unmoved and directly raised his elbows. Lewis stepped on his feet nimbly, but Boozer did not lose his position.

Boozer's defense is average, it also depends on who he is facing?
In terms of speed, he is not fast, but he is not slow. In terms of strength, he is not strong, but he is not weak either. He is 211cm tall, and he has an advantage over Lewis' 208 height.

Boozer's current situation.The crooked hit is just right for Lewis' type of power forward.

Lewis' weakness appeared, he couldn't get rid of the defense, and he had no chance to shoot, so he could only turn around quickly and take a jump shot.

Boozer didn't cover the shot, but interfered with Lewis's shot rhythm.

There was a bang, and the basketball bounced out of the frame.

The Cavaliers took off the rebound and launched a counterattack. Although it was not successful, James still used a beautiful assist to help Brown, who was in the air, score the basketball.

Next, Lucidno passed the ball to Radmanovic on the left for a single, but encountered James' defense.

His situation is almost the same as that of Lewis. He wants to shoot, but James’ oppressive defense is too fierce. He has no chance. He wants to break through but has no speed and strength to break through James’ defense. Seeing that he is defended for 24 seconds, he can only force a three-point shot. , Directly voted for three non-stick!
The Sonics' offense was misfired, and the Cavaliers took advantage of the multi-point offensive. At the end of the half, they led the Supersonics by 58 points 51 to 7 away, and entered the locker room to rest.
