Chapter 106 Game2 (3: Want to watch heads-up? Then come!)
"di"

Robert Covington's dunk not only earned two points, but also allowed JR Smith to receive his third foul of the game.

"Swish"

As the 76ers' starting small forward, Covington will not miss important free throws at critical moments.

43 is better than 56
"clang"

Even if LeBron James' abilities surpassed Covington's by a large margin, he couldn't hit every shot throughout the game.

"Hurry up, hurry up!" Brett Brown on the sidelines began to remind his players to speed up:

As a team without a center who "lives" by three-pointers + baskets, Brett Brown is very aware of the significance of offensive and defensive transitions for the team.

JR Smith

LeBron James

Irving
Tristan Thompson

Young, who passed the half court quickly with the ball, suddenly felt that all eyes were on him.

Shot vs Pass

This is an issue that defenders defending Young need to consider, but the Cavaliers are too obvious to operate in obvious ways.

Jean Yang dismissed the idea of ​​a logoshot.

"Boom" Although the collective inaccuracy of outside shooters is the main reason for falling behind today, they still can't do the simple thing of dunking an empty basket.

45 is better than 56
Irving dribbled the ball past halftime, but he didn't choose to play singles, but chose to call for a screen.

"Walk around the cover!!" Facing Irving, who is well combined with sudden shots, Young's choice is surprising.

but not surprised

because
He's a long-armed spider monster
After locking up the possibility of Irving's shooting with his wingspan, Young began to focus on solving the breakthrough.

"The 76ers' delay is fast again." Although Irving was fast enough and Tristan Thompson was strong enough, Jerami Grant's large delay gave Young time to return.

singles
The waste of offensive time makes Owen only choose singles
after all
He's just a scoring-oriented support single player
in and out
Irving's inside and outside dribbles are very beautiful, but Young doesn't believe it. He doesn't go in the middle of the road; he goes to the bottom line where there are many dangers, and if he doesn't pay attention, there will be problems.

Crossovers
right to left
Owen's choice was not at all unexpected by Hu Yang.

Yang, whose center of gravity was not in the direction of the bottom line, quickly moved to the right to cover and blocked the breakthrough in the middle, which is most likely to occur in the breakthrough.

"Voted???"

Faced with the threat of the long arm, he dared to shoot directly. Lian Yang did not expect that Irving, who had just finished changing direction, would be so bold.

pounce on

The consciousness didn't respond, but the condition of the body radiated, so Yang stretched straight up.

Irving's surprisingly difficult shot with a little fadeaway made Young's defense a psychological comfort to make up for it.

The human affairs are exhausted, and the next step is to look at the destiny.

"The arc is too high, Yang, rebound." Although the three-pointer is not good, McConnell, who is a good mid-range player, seems to see the problem.

"clang"

McConnell's words are obviously correct. In order to avoid Young's block, Irving's receding arc was adjusted too high.

Although the ball bounced high and outside, it seemed to fall into the range of Tristan Thompson.

Three seconds later, the ball was indeed caught by Tristan Thompson.

"Start" Tristan Thompson, who couldn't handle the ball at the free throw line, just saw where LeBron James was, and then received a knife on the basketball in his hand.

The big man's buttery hand problem was fully exposed at this moment.

捡球
Tristan Thompson, a standard basketball center, asked him to grab the ball with Young, who has the attributes of a spider monster. Obviously, he was the only one who failed.

LeBron James and JR Smith, the Cavaliers' most athletic wings, retreated to their own half first.

but

They retreat a little too far back
It only stopped two steps away from the three-point line.

Yang, who had finished observing before halftime, turned off his counterattack engine just after halftime.

Yang, who finished the on-line brake at the logo, jumped up without making any adjustments.

"Logoshot!!!" 11 points behind and throwing a logoshot naturally attracted many people's attention:

Mike Breen on the sidelines can clearly feel that this ultra-long three-pointer will only bring two results
Worse hisses and jeers all over the place,

"Shhhhhhh..."

With the boos of the Quicken Loans Center and Spalding rolling under the basket, Mike Breen knew clearly that this logoshot hit.

"Bang~~~~~~"

"Unbelievable, magical three-pointer, the 76ers completed an 2-8 spurt against the Cavaliers in the first 0 minutes of the second half."

With the score coming to 48 to 56, Cavaliers head coach Tyronn Lue requested a timeout.

…………

…………

as a one-on-one team

After the timeout, the solution to the problem is naturally also heads-up.

Of course it is not reckless, adding a cover is necessary.

switch defense
In this round, the 76ers did not use the tactic of returning to the position with a large delay in accordance with the usual practice. Instead, Courtney Lee, who was the smallest and least fouled on the court, was placed in front of LeBron James.

Although she knew she couldn't defend against it, Courtney Lee put enough pressure on her.

Courtney Lee, who didn't have too many fouls, ended the round with a foul.

"Nice job." Defensive pick for Courtney Lee.Jan liked it a lot.

Although the sweat on LeBron James' forehead was almost gone, Yang knew that the exhaustion of physical strength after wrestling with him for 20 minutes could not be replaced by 15 minutes of intermission and 3 minutes of paddling on the field.

"Clang" LeBron James seriously missed the first free throw.

After exchanging glances with Jerami Grant, Young stood beside Tristan Thompson.

"If your boss misses a free throw and you don't grab a rebound, will you scold him?" With extra energy, Yang's mouth began to stop.

"will not."

Taking advantage of Tristan Thompson's distraction, Young, who got the rebound in the backcourt, threw the ball directly towards the Cavaliers' half court.

Facing the empty Cavaliers basket and the boos of Cavaliers fans, Jerami Grant's temper also came up.

He smashed the ball in his hand to the basket.

"Self-throwing and self-dunk." Facing the previous situation of 5-of-0 three-pointers, Jerami's Grant took this dunk as the best outlet for his failure.

50:56
The 16-point lead turned into 6 points, and Tyronn Lue had nothing to do. In essence, the team is a breakthrough system with LeBron James as the core.

Now the opponent only gives you singles, controlling the double-bottomed corners and top-of-the-arc pitchers.

So now we can only look forward to it.

LeBron James + Irving can score 80 points.

The sudden point system and singles success rate are the lifeline of the Cavaliers, so the lifeline of the 76ers lies in fixed-point three-pointers and counterattacks.

If they can neither hit a three-pointer nor push a counterattack, then all the pressure will be on the system creator + singles blaster + lock defense Dazha Yang.

"What are you watching?" Hearing Anemone's voice, Young turned off the video of G2016 in the 2 Eastern Conference semifinals.

"A video of me playing. Do you want to watch it? Here it is." It's always better to be open than to be secretive.

"I'm not interested?" Anemone, who had excellent responsiveness, took the phone and threw it back.

"Let's go, we have to take our little princess away, or the little knights will start coveting it." Yang took his iPhone 11 and started to get up from the shade.
