Chapter 21 The last laugh

The Cavaliers succeeded in consecutive offenses. The head coach of the Denver Nuggets, Jeff Bzdelik, had a calm face, his hands crossed his chest, and he did not make any tactical adjustments.

Actually playing fast and chaotic battles?

If it's a slow battle, I might be worried.However, in terms of whirlwind and star chaos, will the Nuggets be afraid of other teams?
Sure enough, Earl Boykins once again showed his power on the offensive end, using his unparalleled combination of speed and flexibility to move around on the court, like a free elf in the forest, passing Lin Bai, JR-Bray Mo Mo's siege and interception took advantage of the situation and rode alone into the penalty area. Boozer's block defense was as slow as a wooden stake, and he easily dodged it. He wiped the board under the basket and scored the basketball.

Earl Boykins' lightning speed and agility made him look like a slippery loach on the court, passing people as easily as crossing the road in the early morning.

On defense, he is limited by his height, so he may not be able to do what he wants, so he can only look at his shots and sigh. However, on offense, he is a soaring elf on the court.

The commentator Barkley had to sigh: "His speed and agility alone are worth $4 in four years. He stands on the ball, as long as he takes the first step, those big muscular men will become Stupid big guy. If the big guys want to come up to block the shot, he can flash past your waist, and by the time the big guys turn around, the ball is already out of the hoop. Great for speed and agility Great use!!"

Kenny Smith nodded and praised: "Everyone knows that the advantage of Boykins who is 1 meters is lightning speed and super flexibility. However, no one can stop him from attacking." Footsteps, he is an elf on the field, a spirit of struggle!!"

Barkley said loudly: "James took the ball to the frontcourt and made a screen with Lin Bai again. Is he going to return one on Earl Boykins? This is too bullying, Anthony stepped forward to double-team No, he doesn't want to be arrogant to James anymore, oh no!! James actually split the ball..."

James made a pick-and-roll screen with Lin Bai in the frontcourt, and then got the opportunity to displace Earl Boykins in singles, which attracted Anthony's double-team. At this time, Lin Bai's left side was completely empty at 75 degrees.

James played very selflessly, and knew very well that Lin Bai's three-point shooting was very accurate. Lin Bai would definitely not get good results if he missed the ball, so he passed the ball immediately.

After receiving a pass from James, Lin Bai adjusted slightly, took a breath, and ignored Earl Boykins' quick defense. For him, Earl Boykins was on the field, which was five dozen As a result of the fourth, the existence of a big open, no matter how good his speed is, it can't change the defect of height.

75 degrees to the left of the three-point line, Lin Bai took the ball, bent his knees and jumped up gently, standard shooting action.

18…36…65…30…19……

Lin Bai was not greedy. When the number 65 jumped out, he pulled the basketball away from his fingertips and flew to the basket.

Now Lin Bai, faced with a series of numbers, has gradually gained the experience of shooting, as long as the hit rate exceeds 60, he dares to shoot.

With a swish, Lin Bai had good luck tonight, the basketball went into the net hollow, the net splashed, and a three-pointer was scored!

59 is better than 48!

There was a burst of cheers in the arena, and many spectators and fans stood up and applauded. Although the most gimmick of the match was the No. [-] pick, they were not the only ones who were outstanding. The substitute players also performed eye-catchingly and were very outstanding.

Barkley laughed loudly and said, "The most eye-catching people in this game were Boykins and Lin Bai. James even delivered ammunition for Lin Bai. Just because of this alone, he is better than Anthony."

Kenny Smith shook his head and said in disapproval: "I think James and Anthony have different styles, and Boykins and Lin Bai are not the same type of players. Lin Bai is a pure shooter and relies too much on his teammates. assists, and Boykins has a super ability to hold the ball and can complete the finish by himself. Of course, if Anthony and Boykins also cooperate, it should be stronger!!"

It's just a pity that the picture of Anthony and Boykins cooperating has never appeared.

After switching between offense and defense for several rounds, the Cavaliers seized the Nuggets' weakness and beat them up. The efficiency was actually quite high, and they slowly filled in a lot of holes in front of them, and the score gradually approached.

The head coach of the Nuggets, Jeff Bzdelik, looked a little indifferent. Seeing that James and Lin Bai cooperated tacitly, sparks were sparked, and they desperately attacked Boykins, a defensive weakness.

Often when you finish the swing, let me do it!
Although Boykins can also fight back on the offensive end, but with Anthony, Nene Hilario, Andre Miller, Voshan Leonard, and four starters on the court at the same time, As the sixth man, Boykins cannot get too many possessions.

You can only go back and forth on the court a few times, and get another shot, and the feeling will be somewhat cold.

Seeing that the score of the two teams changed from 17 points to within 10 points, the head coach of the Nuggets Jeff Bzdelik decisively called a long timeout, trying to interrupt the Cavaliers' offensive rhythm and rearrange tactics. Then, bring in Marcus Camby, five starters, and get back on the court at the same time.

The head coach of the Cavaliers, Paul Silas, was also tit-for-tat, replacing JR-Bremmer and replacing Ilgauskas. Except for Myers, who had no outside shooting ability, the other four starters also returned to the court at the same time.

Pause back, and the game continues.

The head coach of the Nuggets, Jeff Bzdelik, called a timeout adjustment, which just proved that he was thinking about tactics and did not do nothing.

However, the style of the Nuggets is like this. They only focus on offense and ignore defense. The defensive ability of the players is difficult to achieve. If the offensive firepower of the Nuggets cannot be supplemented, defense alone cannot withstand the combination of inside and outside of the Cavaliers. counter fire.

For example, Camby, the No. 96 pick of the [-] golden generation, has good jumping and blocking abilities, but is underweight and relatively thin; and he has no possession of the ball in the Nuggets, so he can only be a defensive blue-collar center.

It's just that his height is 211cm, but his weight is only 100KG. He is not strong enough. Can he withstand the impact of low singles in the paint?Can you protect the basket?

Besides, Anthony is very active on the offensive end and is a good player.

However, on the defensive end, he is a little neglected. He only defends based on his mood. When he meets a player who is interested or has challenges, he will focus and work hard to defend. But, there will be many such cases?
Looking at his nickname 'Melon', you know that this kind of situation is pitifully rare, if there are many, it should be called Smiling Tiger.

Then listen to Kobe's name "Black Mamba", and James' name "Little Emperor". They must be imposing, aggressive and aggressive.

In the final analysis, Anthony is the darling of the sky. He entered the NBA league under the title of NCAA champion.

Someone will do thankless things, but definitely not Anthony.

What's more, Anthony's speed is not fast at the small forward position, and his height is not high at the power forward position, so he can be regarded as a dubious player.

That is to say, his offensive ability is too strong, and his kaleidoscope of comprehensive offensive skills makes him a top star.

Otherwise, his situation is not much different from that of Beasley, the second-best rookie in 07. Perhaps one smiles very sweetly, while the other laughs nervously.

In Lin Bai's previous life, many stars at the same level as Anthony were able to get a good "pension contract" before retiring, but he was ignored by no one, which is not unreasonable.

Although at that time, he had become a 'poisonous melon', not a 'melon'.

On the outside, Andre Miller's offensive organization is not bad. He used to be the assist king in the league, and his ability to support assists is naturally very strong. However, his defense is limited by his physical talent, his movement speed is not fast, and his body is relatively weak on the back line. Strong, defensive and nothing extraordinary, very mediocre.

Coupled with the 165CM Boykins who has been replaced, he has a natural defensive weakness.

It would be fine if only one player was in the same team. For example, Nash of the Suns in 04, now several players are crowded in the same team, sometimes playing at the same time. The picture is really sour.

The only advantage is that the eldest brother doesn't talk about the second brother, I am not strong in defense, so don't blame me, I don't mind if you are not active in defense.

Is the well water not the river water?
Or complicity?

I can't tell the truth anymore.

The Nuggets' offense and defense are out of balance, and the Cavaliers are naturally not polite. While maintaining the outside firepower, they should strengthen their inside offensive firepower.

Lin Bai's main defensive player was replaced by Nuggets shooting guard Voshan Leonard. This player is unremarkable on the court, but his defensive and offensive abilities are good. He averaged 15 points per game at his peak. Can't become a star player, but his strength should not be underestimated.

Fortunately, Lin Bai didn't take it lightly, and directly let Boozer pull out, according to the head coach's tactical arrangement, he played a side cover.

Then, if there is an open space, he will shoot a three-pointer directly. If there is no chance to make a shot, he will pass the ball to Ilgauskas on the inside to play a combination of inside and outside.

On offense, the Cavaliers still played vigorously, with unabated firepower.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Nuggets' physical fitness dropped a lot, their shooting percentage could not be maintained, and their rebounds could not catch Ilgauskas and Boozer, as well as James' rush.

The lead of the Denver Nuggets was slowly eroded, and finally, the game progressed to the penultimate 3 minutes.

Outside the 60-degree three-point line on the right, Lin Bai received a pass from Ilgauskas, bent his knees and took off, his long body blooming in the air.

80…81…82…80…82……

A series of numbers flashed through his eyes, and the shooting percentage was as high as 80. Lin Bai was lucky, and immediately shot a three-pointer without hesitation, and the basketball was pulled out from his fingertips.

With a sound of swish, the pure white net flowers burst into water splashes.

The basketball went through the heart and into the net, and a three-pointer was scored.

Towards the end of the game, Lin Bai, a surprise soldier, made a crucial three-pointer and achieved a lead in the score.

After taking the lead, the Cavaliers defended well, played steadily, and extinguished the Nuggets' final counterattack.

With 1 minute left before the game, Anthony LaAndre Miller passed the ball from outside the 45-degree three-point line on the left, turned to face the frame, and suddenly pulled a jumper and made a three-pointer.

With a bang, the basketball bounced wide.

The rebound was firmly grabbed by Ilgauskas. The Nuggets, who were already 5 points behind in the score, missed a key offensive opportunity. In the end, they did not get the score back.

The final result was, 95 to 99!

The Cavaliers tried their best, played a soul-stirring big turn, and got a good start at home.

In the contest for the No. [-] pick, James, the No. [-] pick, had the last laugh.

In terms of statistics, the Cavaliers scored in double figures with five players. Among them, James played 43 minutes, made 14 of 5 shots, 3 of 0 three-pointers, 3 of 3 free throws, and scored 13 points. With 11 rebounds and 10 assists, he achieved his second triple-double. His comprehensive performance connected the offense of the entire team.

伊尔戈斯卡斯得分最多，17投7中，罚球13中9，砍下23分8篮板。

里基-戴维斯17投7中，3分球4中1，罚球3中2，得到17分2助攻6篮板。

达柳斯-迈尔斯11投5中，3分球1中0，罚球4中3，砍下13分3篮板，表现有所提升。

In the end, Lin Bai played 21 minutes, made 8 of 6 shots, 3 of 7 three-pointers, 5 of 2 free throws, scored 2 points and 19 assists. The counterattack horn was raised.

For the Denver Nuggets, the same five scored in double figures.

厄尔-博伊金斯13投8中，三分球5中3，罚球4中4，砍下24分3助攻，表现令人无比惊艳。

安德烈-米勒，12投6中，三分球2中0，罚球5中5，砍下17分4篮板3助攻。

沃尚-莱纳德15投7中，3分球3中1，罚球1中1，得到16分3助攻2篮板，在场上不起眼，表现却很出色。

Nene Hilario made 10 of 6 shots and 5 of 1 free throws. He scored 13 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists.

卡梅罗-安东尼全场与詹姆斯对决，上场40分钟，17投7中，三分球3中1，罚球4中2，砍下17分6篮板2助攻。

Although the offensive data is different from that of James, they lost in the defense, and finally lost the opportunity in the first battle of the strongest rookie of the 03 generation.
