Chapter 208 Being taught a lesson

James took the ball to the frontcourt, Nash stepped forward to defend, took a step, lowered his body's center of gravity, and prevented breakthroughs and shots.

The other players of the Cavaliers automatically opened up the space and implemented the tactical play arranged before the game.

If you want to win the Suns, a prerequisite is that James' offense can be opened up and beat Nash, who lacks defensive ability.

James suddenly dribbled the ball and took a step back, then accelerated forward, carried Nash's body into the three-point line, knocked Nash into a stagger, and then moved a step sideways, displaying his specialty crab step, aggressively killing Inside, Nash moved laterally, wanting to block with his body, but his thin body couldn't stop James from advancing. He took a step to the free throw line, pulled the ball up, bowed and arrowed, and made a small throw.

Stoudemire made up the defense very quickly, and still did not interfere with James Cavaliers' archery throw.

The basketball arced high in the air.

With a clear sound, the basketball hit the bull's-eye accurately, and the two-pointer hit the net.

4 to 2! !
James's way of organizing the frontcourt is too embarrassing. Nash's 188cm, as well as the weight and strength comparison, are far behind James, so he can only watch James easily score points.

Nash's frontcourt organization, Marion and Stoudemire are separated on the left and right sides of the horn area, and Richardson and Joe Johnson are on the side.

The Cavaliers also have a way to deal with it. First of all, James directly pressed Nash, and the other teams of the Cavaliers shrank the inside line and did not give the Suns an easy offensive.

Actually forcing the Suns to use shooting to determine the outcome?The Suns naturally wanted it, and there was a clear snap. Nash dribbled the ball to get a little space, and immediately passed the ball with a hit to the ground. Without the slightest hesitation, he bent his knees slightly, jumped up lightly, and pushed the basketball away against Newbell's defense.

Kunyan Richardson was the No. 2000 rookie in the first round of 18. He was selected by the Los Angeles Clippers. He is 198cm tall and weighs 101kg. He can contribute 8.1 points and 4.2 rebounds per game in his rookie season. It is improving every year. Last season, he averaged 17.2 points and 6.4 rebounds per game.

This season, after joining the Suns, his scoring has dropped, and he can still score 15 points and 4.3 rebounds, and his offensive efficiency has improved, especially his three-point shooting ability. He can hit almost 3 goals every game and has a good shooting ability.

Shorting a scorer like Richardson, the Cavaliers have a lot of guts, but they are also vulnerable to punishment.

There was a sound of cleaning the net, and the pure white net flowers overflowed, and a three-pointer shot through the heart, causing a burst of spray.

4 to 5! !
The Cavaliers took the initiative to compete with the Suns for shooting. The Suns naturally did not refuse, and they also automatically shrunk in defense. James held the ball and broke through to conduct zone defense.

Using strong mobility inside the three-point line, the Cavaliers are forced to shoot from the outside.

The two sides fought a shooting battle, the good tactics of both sides were broken, and the game was more anxious. Although the score rose alternately, they couldn't pull the score apart, and neither could do anything to the other side.

After the first quarter, the Cavaliers led the Suns by 25 point temporarily, 24 to 1, with Ilgauskas' two-pointer in the final attack.

In the second quarter, the substitutes of the two sides were competing. Lin Bai finally made his debut against his former club, the Cavaliers.

After all, the iron-clad team has a lot of players, and the Cavaliers' bench players have also changed a lot. There are almost no familiar faces. Except for the starting lineup, there are more players who have played together. The players on the bench, Lin Bai I don't know more than three people.

Even his former comrades-in-arms didn’t give any favors. Facing a group of unfamiliar faces, Lin Bai was naturally not polite. As soon as he came on the court, he caught the ball from the right three-point line, lifted the ball over the top, and made a three-point shooting posture. .

Before the game, Snow had heard his teammates mention that Lin Bai was good at three-pointers, and he didn't dare to miss Lin Bai's shot, so he leaped over and stretched out his hands to interfere.

Lin Bai clicked, moved a step sideways, drew the bow and set the arrow again, and raised his hand to shoot a three-pointer.

As Iverson's former guard, Snow specialized in defending against the opponent's shooting guard. His defensive strength ranked among the top in the guard position.

Lin Bai saw that Snow was working so hard, and his shooting posture was also well done. His eyes lit up, his body turned sideways, bumped into Snow's body, and threw the basketball in his hand.

A beep sounded the whistle, and without the slightest hesitation, the referee directly penalized Snow's thug for a foul and gave Lin Bai three free throws.

At the free throw line, Lin Bai patted the basketball against boos all over the sky, took a deep breath, swish swish! !
After three free throws in a row, Lin Bai made all the free throws steadily.

However, McGinnis quickly burst from the wing, made an emergency stop jumper in the horn area, and hit a two-pointer.

In the chaotic battle, the Suns regained the rhythm of running and bombing. Joe Johnson and Kabakapa got open shots one after another and hit the basketball steadily. Get the chance to counterattack and fast break, abuse the basket at the basket, and score easily.

In the 6th minute of the second quarter, Newbell of the Cavaliers failed to make a mid-range shot. Marion took off the rebound and gave the ball to Barbosa. Lin Bai in the middle circle.

Catching the ball and counterattacking quickly, Lin Bai's speed was also very fast, Snow defended while retreating, Lin Bai didn't break through the three-point line flank, let alone pass the ball, directly pulling up was a chasing three-pointer shot , Snow could only watch helplessly as the basketball flew towards the basketball, and there was a swish sound of the net being wiped. Lin Bai raised his knife and landed, and steadily hit the chasing three-pointer in this counterattack.

Seeing that the Suns were about to take off, James suddenly broke out and entered the "full-force Zhan" offensive mode, shooting from inside and outside, making crab-like kills with great enjoyment, and frequently hitting the basket to succeed.

In the chaotic battle, James' physical talent was also displayed, and he was unstoppable.

The Suns' running and bombing started, and James' playmaking tactics were also activated. It was completely one-man-one-ball singled out the entire Suns defense line. The state was very hot.

In the last 3 minutes of the second quarter, James dribbled to the frontcourt, Barbosa was blocked by Snow, and Lin Bai went up to defend James.

There was no expression on James' face, and he carefully stared at Lin Bai's defensive action.

Lin Bai is also familiar with James, and he still takes a step away, lowers his center of gravity, and adopts a standard defensive posture, preventing breakthroughs and not preventing shots, and his eyes are provocative, as if saying: You shoot!I don't guard against you!
James rolled his eyes back, but you still have defense?

In the end, James didn't really want to prove himself and forced a three-pointer, but directly dribbled the ball and forced Lin Bai.

With a bang of meat-to-meat collision, Lin Bai felt hit by a wild boar, and felt a dull pain in his chest.

Lin Bai staggered and hit the three-point line, but James didn't give up. He took a step sideways and used his unique crab step to run over Lin Bai aggressively. He stepped down and took off, his body bloomed in the air, his head was almost flat, and with a loud bang, he slammed the basketball into the basket with one hand in the air.

Tomahawk split button, two points succeeded!

Landing, James beat his chest passionately, celebrating the magnificent dunk goal.

Off the court, the fans and audience saw James personally teaching his former younger brother, and they were also very confronted. They fell one after another, raining applause like plantains, and thunderous cheers.

As a result of the halftime game, James made 7 of 5 shots in a single quarter, 3 of 2 free throws, scored 12 points, 3 assists and 3 rebounds. rest.
