Chapter 99 Breaking the Pick-and-Roll
bah bah bah...

Kidd tried consecutively to attack unsuccessfully, even broke through to the basket, came to a horse-riding archery, and shot a small throw close to the frame. The feel was still cold, and he hit the frame. Only then did Kidd wake up and began to use his passing vision and mastery of offense. Rhythm, choose to pass the ball to help teammates score, take the lead in ending this game, and the duel with James, the strongest point guard in the active NBA.

In the 5th minute of the first quarter, Kidd once again cooperated with Kenyon Martin in the pick-and-roll. James and Boozer of the Cavaliers shrunk inside.

Kidd was within the three-point line, catching the ball, attracting James and Boozer to double-team, Kidd made a three-step layup, carrying James' body, suddenly, his left wrist flicked, and the basketball was like a precise shell , flew to the right.

Kenyon Martin catches the ball inside the 45-degree two-point line on the right. This is a big open shot. James and Boozer were both dizzy by Kidd’s magic pass. when heading out.

Kenyon Martin had already caught the ball, bent his knees, jumped up slightly, and made a shooting motion with a bow and an arrow. It was too late to throw it out.

Kenyon Martin's body bloomed in the air, the basketball was pulled out from his fingertips, and the basketball drew a high arc,

With a bang, the basketball slammed into the basket hard, and it still bounced out of the basket, and the shooting aim was not adjusted.

Boozer turned around and stuck in position, jumped up, took off the rebound, and immediately passed the ball to James.

With long legs, James dribbles forward quickly. Kidd has a strong sense of defense. He jumps forward to block James' advance route. James crosses the ball and turns back, trying to take advantage of the situation to kill Kidd. Net, unexpectedly, Corey Kidders also rushed over and tried to steal. Fortunately, James reacted quickly, immediately blocked the basketball with his body, and protected the ball with his back.

Although James made no mistakes and was intercepted by Corey Kidders, it was already impossible to make a quick counterattack. He could only dribble honestly and advance to the frontcourt.

James lobbed the ball to Boozer on the right, caught the ball with his back, and squeezed Kenyon Martin with his body, but he didn't squeeze.

Kenyon Martin put his elbow on Boozer's waist with his left hand, and his right knee against Boozer's hind leg. Coupled with his strong body, it was very difficult for Boozer to even turn around. , Wanting to play back-up singles, but it is not easy. It seems that Kenyon Martin played beside Kidd and learned a lot of defensive tricks.

Boozer body pecked twice off the dribble, shoddy shoulder fakes, footsteps that didn't help, and finally, found the opponent unmoved.The defense is indestructible, and it can only pass the basketball out of the perimeter to reorganize James.

Ilgauskas was in the low position on the left, and was entangled in the front defense, unable to catch the ball at all, and even Corey Kiddels' thin body was always stretched in front of Kedrick Brown, sealing off the ball. Block the path of the ball.

James dribbled back two steps and strengthened the rhythm of dribbling. Kidd's eyes were solemn, his center of gravity was lowered, and his attention was very concentrated.

Continuously stepping down and dribbling, leaning into Kidd, James suddenly accelerated, relying on Kidd's body to force a dribble breakthrough, Kidd was knocked out of the center of gravity, took a step horizontally, James used a crab step to the right, tough Get to the free throw line.

Immediately afterwards, he made an emergency stop and dribbled the ball behind his back, moving the basketball from the right side to the left side. He took big strides, stood with his legs side by side, raised his hands, and made a shooting posture. Kidd’s height is 10cm lower than James’s. , and ate James' sudden change of direction while walking, and his body's center of gravity was a little uncertain, so he could only fold his body and jump forward to interfere.

Unexpectedly, 24 seconds was almost up, but James hadn't shot yet.

Under the commentary stage, Barkley's eyes were wide open, with an unbelievable expression on his face, and he explained loudly: "James walked like a crab, carried Kidd abruptly, came to the free throw line, paused, and shot his right hand. Hook, came a back dribble, James opened his hands for a jumper...Kidd jumped up, can he interfere? Oh no? What did I see, James still has this kind of operation, his skills have reached this level Yet?"

Barkley only saw that James did not shoot a jumper, but swiped it with his left hand. The basketball hit the floor and was dexterously dribbled from the left side to the right side, avoiding Kidd's block. Extraordinary.

False cast really sudden!

James took advantage of the trend to accelerate, drove straight into the penalty area, and jumped up in two steps. His body was like a spring man, and he flew up. With a bang, he slammed the basketball into the basket.

Tomahawk split button! !

Two points scored, 15 to 13! !
Who would have thought that Kidd gave up the duel with James, but James did not let Kidd go, with a wonderful goal, scored with a single-handed dunk at the basket, and successfully completed the heads-up.

When he landed, James beat his chest twice, celebrating passionately and domineeringly. Off the court, some fans booed everywhere, while others burst into applause like a rainstorm. It seems that James's goal gorgeously surprised the fans' attention , conquered the hearts of some home fans.

In the transition between offense and defense, Kidd dribbled the ball forward and saw James' provocative eyes. Kidd did not challenge, but opened the distance between the two, stretched out his right index finger, raised it to the sky, and played No. 1 tactic.

Kenyon Martin understood, and immediately pulled from the low position to the high position, made a pick-and-roll cooperation with Kidd, and then made an air cut.

A tactic has been played continuously. Except for the fast break in the counterattack, the Nets only have a pick-and-roll. Barkley rolled his eyes and curled his lips. Although he showed disdain on his face, he admired Kidd in his heart. With the two tactics, he reached the NBA Finals twice. Although it is not enjoyable enough, his persistence is still admirable.

However, the Cavaliers did not have this kind of mood. James and Boozer still implemented the head coach's tactics seriously. Instead of double-teaming, they shrunk the defense and held the zone defense.

Kidd still passed the ball to Martin who went down from the right. James and Boozer immediately blocked Martin's zone defense and did not give him a chance to hit the basket.

After a bit of luck, Martin jumped up in the face of two interferences, a close-range hook, the arc of the basketball was very high, and there was a bang, but he still missed.

Kenny Martin originally relied on his body to play, his defense was excellent, and his offensive ability was really mediocre. Playing next to Kidd, he could average 16 points per game and was selected to the All-Star team. However, without Kidd, he did not have easy pass assists , his offensive ability was spent in half.

It's just because he can only rush to the basket, bully people with his body, dunk and score points, but he doesn't have a basket, and he hasn't practiced his mid-range shot.

However, his talent is still terrifying, his body is very explosive, under the double-teaming of James and Boozer, he quickly took off, touched the basketball, jumped again, and then pulled the basket out of the perimeter.

At this time, Corey Kiddles, a 'mosquito', suddenly turned back and used a superb off-ball running technique to get rid of Kedrick Brown's follow-up defense, and the basketball just landed on his head. From man to ball to...
