Diop missed two free throws, and Ke Yan stroked his forehead helplessly on the sidelines, finally understanding the feelings of Stan Van Gundy, Popovich, and Rivers.

O'Neal, Bowen, and Howard, who were beaten to death by the Lakers, were all screaming to the sky at this time: "You have today, too!"

A head coach like Ke Yan is good at using foul tactics to disgust opponents, but in turn, once the opponent uses this trick, the backlash will be even more serious.

It takes a lot of effort to design offensive tactics, but the opponent chases your player with a bad free throw and fouls, making all your arrangements in vain. It would be strange if he didn't vomit blood for three liters.

The Cavaliers attacked, James received the ball, and Barnes flashed out immediately. Although he was not a tight defense, but the distance was not very far, James began to dribble the ball, looking for opportunities to break through.Although Barnes' physical confrontation is not as good as Butler's, he wins with toughness, and he has black hands and dares to make moves, which has a certain deterrent effect on James' breakthrough.

Big Z stepped forward with a pick-and-roll, James calmly broke through from the right side, and bravely went straight into the hinterland of the Lakers!

Odom let go of Gooden behind him and came up directly, and behind him, Diop also stood in position, ready to defend.

James took off directly and flew towards the basket!Fei held the pincer attack from Odom and Diop in mid-air, and James lowered his hands and sent the ball from his waist.

His pass was accurately passed to Gooden's hand. The latter followed up with a layup, and when he was about to put the ball into the basket, suddenly a black hand came from behind, and his fingers firmly pressed on the basketball!

"Crack!" Gooden looked back, it was Kobe!

James is more accustomed to distributing the ball to the teammates with the best position, which the Lakers have already planned.In the blink of an eye, Kobe made a decision and blocked Gooden's attack.

Odom grabbed the rebound and sent a long pass as soon as possible. Barnes, who was blocked by the big Z from outside the three-point line, took the lead and ran in the front. Dunk, even a little nervous, after breaking into the basket, he changed his mind, chose to seek stability, and ended this attack with a rebound. (18:17)

After landing, Barnes patted his hand in dissatisfaction, feeling that his offensive choice was terrible!

The camera also recorded this scene, and the fans all smiled knowingly.

Entering the official timeout, Ke Yan also put his arm around Barnes' neck and said a lot of words of encouragement.

Returning from the timeout, the Cavaliers quickly responded with a goal to the Lakers. James once again used a breakthrough to tear apart the Lakers' defense and passed it to Pavlovich outside the three-point line. The latter made a steady three-pointer. Unfortunately, One foot slightly stepped on the line during the jump, and the referee only awarded a two-pointer. This made the audience a little dissatisfied, and they booed the referee fiercely to put pressure on him. (20:17)

The referee’s whistle-blowing scale gradually returned to normal, and the Lakers also began to exert their strength. Kobe rarely asked his teammates for a pick-and-roll on the offensive end, and after breaking through, he scored the corner. directly jumped up. (20:20)

Looking back, Barnes made another great contribution on the defensive end. Barnes, who was separated from James by the pick-and-roll, stretched out his hand and just touched the basketball in James' hand, which affected James' dribbling rhythm. Odom made a successful steal. Apart from anything else, he pushed a fast break and counterattacked, and went straight to the basket and caused a foul by McInnis.

Recently, Odom's outstanding performance even exceeded Keyan's expectations.Compared with Weber, who he used to promote the transaction, except that his ability to support and launch attacks from insiders was half a chip away, he was even better in other aspects, which surprised Ke Yan himself.

The referee didn't take sides, and the strength of the Lakers was still much better than that of the Cavaliers. Even if the little emperor played the first quarter, he couldn't stop the Lakers from winning. At 28:33, the Cavaliers ended the first quarter behind 5 points at home.

At the moment of the team's life and death, they couldn't afford to lose a game. James fought hard and didn't plan to rest. He played at the beginning of the second quarter and led the team to launch a counterattack.

The Lakers resorted to a small lineup of Atkins, Finley, Butler, Barnes, and Anderson to fight.

Sometimes, the decisions made by the players are not necessarily correct. The meaning of the existence of the head coach is to correct some mistakes of the players.A typical example is Ke Yan's restrictions on Kobe's style of play. He is allowed to take more shots, but he is not allowed to make a few blind strikes.Mike Brown allowed James to continue playing, following James' wishes, but he did not consider whether the burden on James and his physical strength could support this usage.

All the offenses of the Cavaliers rely on James to initiate, and the holes that have been torn apart on the defensive end need to be filled by James. Coupled with the three wing players of the Lakers + a highly mobile inside line to strangle with all their strength, the Lakers come from all levels. Putting pressure on James, even with the referee's blessing, the little emperor couldn't bear it.

James led the team and couldn't even beat the Lakers' rotation, and was even pulled away from the score.This scene was unbelievable to the fans at the scene, but it really happened.

When Mike Brown finally noticed something was wrong and chose to replace James, the score had reached 34:46, and the Lakers led by 12 points.

What's even more frightening is that in Tian Ji's horse race, just now, the Cavaliers' top horse failed to outrun the Lakers' top horse, and next, the Cavaliers' top horse came up against the Lakers' top horse, rejuvenating on the bench The recharged Kobe and Odom are back!

Without James, the Cavaliers can't even find a singles player on the court!McGinnis, Gooden and Big Z may be the players that the Cavaliers can attack on their own besides James.

With this lineup, if you let Ke Yan bring it in the past, you can only get a black eye, not to mention Mike Brown, who has always been known for only bringing James!

The game continued, and Kobe used his footsteps to eat Pavlovich raw as soon as he came on the stage, and hit a mid-range hit.Then he broke through the ball in the offense and assisted Finley to hit a three-pointer. The Lakers' offense was as smooth as mercury.

On the other hand, the Cavaliers' offense has no way to get the ball into the penalty area, and the referee can't find a chance to help!

James rested for 3 minutes, and the score had reached 39:59. The Cavaliers were 20 points behind. When he returned to the court, James was so angry that he wanted to scold his mother!

"It is estimated that the referee will start to exert force again." After the timeout ended and the players returned to the field, Ke Yan said to Hamblen beside him.

"Without the strength to win the Cavaliers by more than 15 points, it is difficult to win the Cavaliers' away game." Hamblen joked.

"Almost." Ke Yan also smiled.

The trend of the game is also as Ke Yan guessed, James' debut + the Cavaliers are behind by a large score = they can get a lot of free throws.James' desperate charge again and again made Ke Yan appreciate him a little more.At the very least, his free throws are exchanged for "life". Compared with another James in the future who relies on studying the league rules and thinking of ways to cheat fouls, the perception is much better.

Of course, Ke Yan can still look at James with appreciation, and another reason is that the Cavaliers who got free throws did not threaten the Lakers.The Lakers are not afraid that the referee will give the Cavaliers free throws, but are afraid that their offense will be blocked.The Lakers maintained their offensive efficiency and were not regained many points by the Cavaliers.

52:69, 17 points behind.This is also the strength gap between the fringe teams in the Eastern Conference and the top 4 teams in the Western Conference!

In the second half, Ke Yan replaced the big lineup, Odom cameo point guard, Butler, Finley, opened up space, and created space for Kobe to attack personally.

This change made the Cavaliers a bit difficult to deal with. Apart from James, the Cavaliers did not have the corresponding forward resources to fight against the Lakers' flanks. James defended Kobe to help, while other positions were also at a disadvantage.

On the defensive end, the Lakers have a clear advantage in height. James rushed to the basket to attack, with his arms raised everywhere, interfering with his line of sight.The Cavaliers also have no other small man who can take advantage of the lack of mobility of the Lakers' big man lineup to help, and the offensive end is struggling.

The Lakers made a wave of efforts and opened the point difference to more than 25 points, which basically ended the suspense of the game. (40-22)

The final score was fixed at 113:134. The Cavaliers lost at home, and the record was overtaken by the New Jersey Nets. Only by virtue of their record advantage over their opponents in the same division, the Nets ranked eighth in the Eastern Conference. Either way, it is very likely to lose a place in the playoffs.

James, who tried his best, received applause from the fans, but James, who lost the game, was obviously not in the mood to interact with the fans, and returned to the locker room with a livid face.

Another one who received cheers from the fans was Ke Yan. When Ke Yan returned to the locker room, the fans on the side of the channel took out a sign made in advance: "We need you, Kimi! You will come to Cleveland to coach, right?"

Ke Yan is still the acting head coach of the Lakers. This topic has been discovered and hyped by many media.Every time the Lakers win a good game, there will be fans who are dissatisfied with their coach on the forum to YY Ke Yan to coach the team next season and bring a good offense to the team.But it was the first one that Cleveland fans did so directly and completely disrespected the head coach.

At the press conference, the reporter interviewed Ke Yan and also talked about this incident, and pointed out that Ke Yan seemed to be smiling at the time.

"I'm not, I don't, don't talk nonsense!" Ke Yan came up and denied the three consecutive times, "The reality is that the Cavaliers have a very good head coach, and he is doing a good job in Cleveland. And I am the acting head coach of the Lakers ...I don't want to make predictions about the future, I haven't even figured out what I'm going to eat tomorrow."

Ke Yan is not Phil Jackson, and he will not say specious words to make other head coaches restless.But his response this time already has the meaning of putting pressure on the Lakers management.

The media, fans and even the management circles of some other teams are already paying attention to their future. Jeremy Buss and Kupchak, it's time for them to respond!
