Chapter 90 Rasheed with both offense and defense
On James' thread, the Cavaliers' offense was very smooth, hitting a 14-6 climax, directly stopping the game.

On the coaching bench of the Trail Blazers, Maurice Cheeks picked up the tactical panel and talked about his tactical adjustments loudly. As Iverson’s mentor, when he was an assist coach for the 76ers, he often thought about it. How to deal with it, Iverson has a natural defensive problem because of his height.

Seeing that James did not confront Zach Randolph head-on, but turned his gun around and kept attacking Damon Stoudemire, the offense went smoothly. Immediately, he called a timeout and rearranged the defensive tactics .

Maurice Cheeks took advantage of the defensive tactics that the 76ers depended on for success, playing zone defense tactics, Damon Stoudemire pressed the ball handler, and the other four retracted the defense.

In view of the weakness of the Cavaliers' poor shooting in the middle, let the Cavaliers shoot from the outside, if the Cavaliers play a pick-and-roll, decisively let go of Ira Newbell's point, and the two will pinch the ball holder.

Back from the timeout, the Cavaliers stormed Damon Stoudemire's tactic, which was targeted by the Blazers, and their efficiency immediately dropped. Facing the shrinking defense of the Blazers, the Cavaliers, who had no mid-range shooting ability, missed consecutive mid-range shots. Breaking through to the inside line, you will be flanked by two people, or even surrounded by three people, and the fiery offensive firepower is instantly extinguished.

On the Blazers side, Rasheed Wallace has increased his offense with the ball, although he is not happy playing in the Blazers because of his core status and contract year issues.

However, 'Roaring God' Rasheed Wallace showed the quality of a professional player and the style of a team player.

He did not retain his strength because of conflicts with the team and played healthy basketball.Instead, he played more attentively. Basically, he played wherever the head coach ordered. He was a brick of the team, and he moved there wherever it was needed.

If you want to defend, you will defend, and if you want to attack, you will also show talent and offensive strength.

In the 6th minute, Boozer leaned on the baseline on the right side, received a lob from Damon Stoudemire, turned his back to the basket, squeezed twice behind the dribble, and directly used his straight arm to turn and lean back for two points jump shot.

Boozer didn't lose his position, and his defensive focus was still there. He rushed to interfere, but it didn't help.

Rasheed Wallace has a very good wingspan. He is 211cm tall, but has a wingspan of 229cm. His shot point is naturally high. In addition, he has a large fallback. Even if Boozer does not suffer from his height, it is difficult to seal build.

I can only watch Rasheed Wallace's calm shot, just like Kevin Durant's jump shot in the future.

The straight-arm turn-back jumper is Rasheed Wallace's signature trick. Boozer can't defend it, but it's not surprising. After all, he is a player with strong offense and weak defense. However, Rasheed Wallace is still a An offensive all-rounder with [-] offensive weapons, a straight-arm turn-back jumper is just the beginning.

In the 5th minute of the first quarter, Rasheed Wallace made a three-pointer arc, held the ball in front of the frame, directly forced James, feinted, and went directly to the inside, ignoring Boozer and Ilgauskas. After making up the defense, he jumped up directly, dunked with both hands under the basket, and sent the basketball into the basket.

Near the end of the first quarter, the right three-point line was 65 degrees, directly received Jeff McGinnis' breakthrough ball, and hit a three-pointer against Boozer's defense.

Able to attack and defend, capable inside and outside, frequently attacking and scoring points, the superstar demeanor is still there.

Relying on Rasheed Wallace's outburst, the Blazers gradually recovered the score, and the momentum was like a rainbow.

The two sides fought so hard that you come and live with each other, and the scene was very anxious.

After the first quarter, the Blazers only led the Cavaliers by 23 point, 22 to 1, temporarily taking the lead.

Back from the second quarter, the two sides replaced players in rotation and continued to fight again.

James and Miles led the bench players and led the Cavaliers' offense, while on the Blazers side, Damon Stoudemire and Jeff McGinnis partnered in the double backcourt to lead the bench lineup.

As soon as the game started, Damon Stoudemire made a three-pointer, suddenly pulled up a jumper, and hit a strong three-pointer, breaking the trust of coach Maurice Cheeks.

Immediately afterwards, facing James' defense, he lifted the ball over the top and made a three-point shooting posture to attract James' block.

Made a gesture of bowing to Buddha, made a fake shot and made a real breakthrough, accelerated with one step, rushed into the inside, pulled the ball up, faced the supplementary defense of Ni Batty and Eric Williams, retracted and released in the air, and dodged After dropping the block, with a hook with his right hand, the basketball wiped the backboard, and got into the basket as if it had eyes.

Damon Stoudemire used his flexibility and speed to take the lead in opening up the situation on the offensive end, showing a strong scoring ability in chaotic battles, and after attracting the Cavaliers' defensive attention, he began to support the pass.

In the 8th minute of the second quarter, Damon Stoudemire charged James with the ball in the middle, attracted Miles' flanking attack, jumped up and passed it directly to the back, Jeff McGinnis understood, and a counterattack Run, the man arrives at the ball, the three-pointer arcs, catches the ball and shoots a three-pointer jumper, and with a bang, the three-pointer goes through the heart.

On the coaching bench of the Cavaliers, Paul Silas saw Jeff McGinnis' precise shooting, his eyes lit up, and his expression was thoughtful.

In the 6th minute of the second quarter, Damon Stoudemire broke through and pulled the ball from the free throw line. Seeing Jeff McGinnis's air cut, he immediately hooked it and the basketball was transferred accurately. To the right, Jeff McGinnis easily caught the ball and made a two-step layup from close range, sending the basketball into the basket.

'Little Flying Squirrel' Damon Stoudemire's breakthrough points, Jeff McGinnis' off-ball jumper, frequent offensive scoring, faintly playing the taste of 'golden double guns', the Blazers' offensive firepower continued.

Fortunately, James, Miles and Eric Williams' offensive firepower of the 'Three's' striker is also very terrifying, using strong singles one after another to fight back.

Although Damon Stoudemire's offensive strength is strong and he is like a fish in water in chaotic battles, but the substitute players have weak defensive awareness, it is difficult to wipe the buttocks of Damon Stoudemire's defense, and the Blazers' defense is also defeated. Hit fragmented.

James, Miles, and Eric Williams are scoring opportunities against Damon Stoudemire, especially James' breakthrough, which is simply an enhanced version of Damon Stoudemire.

First, he used his strong body to hold the ball in the middle, knocked Damon Stoudemire away, reached the free throw line, shot an arrow directly with a bow, made a two-point fadeaway jumper, and made a steady hit.

Immediately afterwards, at the top arc of the three-pointer, he held the ball and played with his back, crushing Damon Stoudemire's defense, like a bulldozer, crushed to the basket, shook his hands, and directly forced his hands to dunk.

Seeing James' simple and rough attacking style, easily blowing up Damon Stoudemire, the head coach of the Blazers, Maurice Cheeks, responded quickly, waved his hand, and changed the position again. On the other starters, let Rasheed Wallace go up to face James directly. On defense, stare at James, even if he is fouled, he will not be allowed to score easily.In terms of offense, use violence to control violence, use stronger firepower, fight an eye with an eye, and give him some color.

In the second quarter, Rasheed Wallace used his experienced defense and comprehensive offensive skills to suppress James' offense and defense. At one point, the Cavaliers' offense was collectively eclipsed. Or a second offensive dunk to score points, so that the Cavaliers will not fall behind too much.

At the end of halftime, the Blazers were 48 to 42, leading the Cavaliers by 6 points, and entered the locker room to rest.
