NBA: I haven't played a game but I'm full of talent

Chapter 150 James: Don't make mistakes, don't make mistakes, oh no...

The game lasted nearly two quarters, and the Suns overtook the score.

Offensive is what the Suns are good at. Once the momentum is up, it is obviously not easy to hold it down.

As a result, the Cavaliers quickly discovered that in the previous quarter or so, the offense that they could defend with the same defensive strength suddenly couldn't defend.

In the next two rounds, Nash, who had just been blocked by James, showed his strength as the last MVP and the most powerful contender for this season's MVP.

After the Cavaliers took the lead in attacking, Snow took advantage of Nash's lack of defense and hit a breakthrough layup to help the Cavaliers regain the lead.

Coming to the offensive end on the other side, Nash used the screen to find a shot space from outside the three-point line, and responded by rushing to shoot a three-pointer directly.

Then, on the Cavaliers side, after Gooden received a pass from James and missed a shot, Ling Yang grabbed the rebound and Nash counterattacked with the ball.

Outside the three-point line, facing Snow's defense, Nash was about to shoot.

This surprised Snow, thinking that Nash wanted to copy the attack of the previous round, so he had to take off to interfere.

At this time, Nash was a boy worshiping Buddha, and directly passed Snow completely.

Facing the supplementary defense of the Cavaliers' inside players, Nash went all the way into the three-second zone, attracting the attention of the two Cavaliers' insiders.

Both Marion and Thomas were free, just as James and Hughes were shrinking defensively, and Marion and Thomas were both ready to catch the ball and prepare to attack.

At this time, Nash fully demonstrated his excellent organizational skills.

A wide-range pass in the three-second zone, the basketball was handed over to Bell who ran out of space.

The latter catches the ball and shoots, hitting a three-pointer!

46:41, the Suns lead by 5 points.

This time, the Cavaliers can be directly paused.

Although the Cavaliers stabilized the situation, the Suns still maintained their lead after the first half.

At the end of the first half, the score was fixed at 52:50.

It is worth mentioning that before the end of the first half, Ling Yang once again completed a steal, but this time he was the stealer of Gooden.

It was only because of being destroyed by the knight's foul that he was not able to fight back.

But even so, at the end of the first half, Ling Yang already had 12 points, 6 rebounds, 5 steals and 1 blocked shot.

The data of Ling Yang's steals not only caused heated discussions between the two commentators in the commentary booth, but also made the head coach of the Cavaliers, Mike Brown, extremely vigilant.

"LeBron, pay attention to controlling mistakes. The small forward on the opposite side has a lot of pressing in this game. You need to play more steadily. You can try to shoot more mid-range shots and reduce the proportion of the ball..."

In the locker room of the home team, Brown tried to persuade James.

In terms of status in the team, Brown is no match for James, so at this time, he did not criticize James very severely like some other high-status coaches on the team.

If it was Popovich of the Spurs, Phil Jackson of the Lakers, or even D'Antoni of the Suns, even if the team was in charge, there would be 6 turnovers in the first half, and they would have started spraying.

Yes, after the first half of the game, James has made up to 6 turnovers.

In addition to being directly intercepted by Ling Yang 4 times, one time he was forced to step on the bottom line by Ling Yang's defense, and another time he was forced to pass the ball under Ling Yang's defense and was directly intercepted by Marion.

James nodded, but frowned slightly. The coach didn't remind him, and he didn't even notice that he made 6 turnovers.

"No more mistakes." James muttered secretly in his heart, so many mistakes are too ugly.

At the beginning of the second half of the game, Ling Yang was a little surprised that James obviously held the ball less.

The ball-handling big core who has always liked to attack with the ball, even played more off-ball.

For three consecutive rounds, James did not choose to hold the ball to face Ling Yang's defense. He ran to catch the ball twice, but quickly transferred the ball.

Under such circumstances, the Cavaliers' offense was unexpectedly good.

In the positional offensive battle in the first half, the Cavaliers basically used James to get the ball, then used the pick-and-roll to attack Ling Yang, and then passed the ball to his teammates. Because Ling Yang's defense was in place, the Cavaliers' offense was often not smooth enough.

But now, James has less possession of the ball, but it also restrains Ling Yang's defense, and the ball is released quickly, which suddenly makes the Knight's offense smooth.

At the same time, it may be that James did not put so much energy into the offensive end, and James also made more contributions on the defensive end, which allowed the Cavaliers' defensive strength to maintain the strength of the first half of the first half.

In this way, the Cavaliers regained the initiative of the game on the court.

64:68,比赛进行到第三节6分23秒,此时骑士已经重新获得了4分的领先。

The ball is still in the hands of the Cavaliers, James received the ball at the three-point line, and then quickly handed it to Inergeskas who was supporting the free throw line.

Then, he settled down outside the three-point line on the left.

Ling Yang followed to the side, but his gaze kept on the three-second zone.

During half a quarter of the game, Ling Yang has gradually figured it out, although he doesn't know if James' choice to reduce his possession of the ball is a Cavaliers tactical arrangement.

But James is obviously not very adapted to this style of play. Except for the first few rounds, James has a lot of off-ball running and cutting. In the last few rounds, James didn’t run much. Treat yourself as a spot-up shooter.

And if James positions himself in such a role on the offensive end, Ling Yang is not worried, at least in Ling Yang's view, the opponent is self-defeating.

Therefore, when seeing Larry Hughes dribble into the three-point line with the help of a pick-and-roll, and Bell's defensive position was somewhat passive, Ling Yang chose to assist in the defense without any hesitation.

Faced with the possible attack from Ling Yang and Bell, Larry Hughes didn't dare to be careless. Seeing that he was about to plunge into Ling Yang's defense, Hughes quickly passed the ball to James at the three-point line.

At this time, Bell became the one closer to James. He actively switched defenses and rushed back towards James immediately.

However, Ling Yang did not expect that Bell would take the initiative to switch defenses, and he also stopped his steps to rush towards James.

In this way, Larry Hughes was vacated immediately when the two left.

Hughes, who found a chance, rushed forward and quickly cut towards the basket.

"not good!"

After reacting, Ling Yang immediately followed Larry Hughes and rushed over.

Excellent explosive power and sprint speed, so that the distance between him and Hughes is rapidly closing.

And James' passing vision is indeed excellent. Just after receiving the ball from outside the three-point line, he saw Hughes cut into the basket, held the ball forward with both hands, and sent the ball directly to the three-second zone .

Ling Yang, who was rushing towards Hughes, couldn't see James' passing action, but he could roughly see that the ball had already been passed from the action of Hughes in front of him.

The body continued to rush forward quickly, Ling Yang didn't go back to look at the direction the basketball was coming from, but stared at Larry Hughes' movements.

There was still about an arm's distance away from Hughes, Ling Yang saw Hughes raised his hand to catch the ball, so he quickly turned around and raised his hand...

At this time, Ling Yang looked at an orange shadow, which seemed to fly directly above his head.

Without even thinking about it, Ling Yang leaped backwards, and at the same time opened his big hands, grabbing towards the shadow of the basketball that could still be vaguely seen.

"Snapped!"

When the real touch came from the five fingers, Ling Yang was overjoyed, there is it!

"Steal! Ling steals LeBron's pass, the Suns are going to fight back!

! ”

Barkley on the sidelines was shouting, but at the moment James and Hughes on the court were a little stiff.

Hughes was regretting that he could catch the ball and make a layup. At this time, the ball was gone, which was equivalent to the cooked duck flying.

And James' mood is even more complicated, "A mistake again?"

In this half of the game, James reduced his possession of the ball. On the one hand, it was indeed Mike Brown’s confession. On the other hand, he really wanted to reduce his possession of the ball to avoid more frontal defense against Ling Yang and reduce mistakes.

The first half of the quarter was fine, but it never occurred to him that this almost 100% wonderful pass added another mistake to himself.

This made James feel a little regretful. He just shot a three-pointer himself, and it seems that the chance is not bad.

It's just that James and Hughes can't think too much about the result on the field, because at this time, the Suns have already launched a fast break at the fastest speed.

After Ling Yang got the ball, he rushed with the ball. Hughes, who was behind the side, wanted to block it, but he had no chance at all.

Even if Ling Yang carries the ball, he cannot catch up if he is one step behind.

Seeing that Ling Yang rushed to the half court, but Hughes couldn't keep up with the defense, James, who didn't want to see Ling Yang directly one-stop, rushed towards Ling Yang immediately.

Looking at the rushing James, Ling Yang didn't hesitate, and flicked the ball to Bell who was almost beyond the three-point line in front of the right.

Ling Yang's vision of passing the ball is not outstanding, but such a large space is ahead, and he can still see it at a glance.

James, who rushed to Ling Yang, saw Ling Yang pass the ball, and leaned forward to intercept it, but he was still half a beat too late, and the ball flew past him.

And his action also made him lose the chance to defend Bell.

Receiving the ball from outside the three-point line, Bell made a decisive three-pointer.

"Shh!

"

The rhythm was very good, and Bell hit a three-pointer steadily.

67:68, the point difference between the two teams narrowed to 1 point.

Watching this scene, Barkley immediately joked with a smile:

"To be honest, the Suns have to thank LeBron today. From the first quarter, whenever the Suns fell into a passive position and the point difference was about to be opened, LeBron would always contribute a steal for Ling and help the Suns win the game back. Take the initiative."

Kenny Smith opened his mouth, trying to refute James, but suddenly realized that what Barkley said seemed quite reasonable.

Some of the Cavaliers fans on the sidelines secretly shook their heads at this time, obviously a little disappointed with the team's offensive mistakes today.

What makes Cavaliers fans feel a little bit is that in the next round, James, who may find that even if he holds the ball less, cannot avoid mistakes, played more aggressively this time, and took the initiative to ask for the ball after falling outside the three-point line.

And when Ling Yang took a step back to prevent a breakthrough, James tried a shot directly from outside the three-point line.

This goal was hit, and it can be regarded as making up for the mistakes made in the previous round.

Suns attack, Nash and Marion's connected offense is also successful.

Marion landed in the three-second zone, Nash's ball was given in time, and Marion succeeded in attacking the three-second zone under the defense of Gooden.

69:71, still a 2-point difference.

The offensive power came to the Cavaliers' side. The last round tasted the sweetness. James felt that he was still attacking with the ball, and then he came to the top of the arc again to catch the basketball.

"LeBron played with the ball, LeBron played more off the ball in the second half, but now he has increased the percentage of offense with the ball.

In the last round, LeBron just made a three-pointer under Ling's defense. How does this ball attack? "

Kenny Smith spoke out the expectations of Cavaliers fans, and their eyes are all focused on the team's head at the moment.

Outside the three-point line, James was dribbling the ball and standing straight. He looked up at the basket, as if he was about to shoot a three-pointer at any time.

At this time, Ling Yang also chose to take the initiative to step forward, after all, James still made a three-pointer just now.

At this time, the game has reached such a stalemate. Even if he chooses to defend against breakthroughs more than to defend against shots, he can't really let the opponent shoot completely.

James also observed Ling Yang's defense very carefully. When Ling Yang took a step forward, James suddenly started to charge forward and started a breakthrough.

Ling Yang's reaction was not slow, and he quickly turned sideways to defend.

But just after he followed a step, he felt that he had bumped into someone, and he immediately understood that it was someone covering the knight.

Taking a quick step forward, Ling Yang directly squeezed past, but at this time he was already one step behind James.

Fortunately, Kurt Thomas' defense is also very good. He switched defenses in time and directly posted James.

At this time, Ling Yang did not choose to switch defenses, but directly chased behind him, and rushed towards the basket with James and Thomas.

James forced Thomas into the three-second zone, but did not completely throw off the defense. At the same time, he also found Ling Yang who was waiting for an opportunity behind him, which made him a little afraid.

He already has a good understanding of Ling Yang's defensive ability.

James doubted that if he forced a layup at this time, Ling Yang would directly reward him with a block from the side and rear.

If you can't attack, just pass. James' passing vision is still very good. With a glance from the corner of his eye, he saw Inergeskas who followed the cut from the middle, and immediately pushed the ball out and stuffed it.

But at this moment, as if Ling Yang had expected it, he rushed out suddenly, and rushed to Yin Ergeskas who was cutting in.

Seeing that the basketball was about to be caught by Yin Ergeskas, Ling Yang's big hand touched the basketball, causing the basketball to roll aside and fall to the ground.

Then, before Inergeskas could even react, Ling Yang picked up the basketball and completed the steal!

"Wow!

"

At the scene, the Cavaliers fans were in an uproar.

In the commentary booth, Smith's commentary also explained the reaction of the fans on the scene very well.

"The Cavaliers made another turnover, and LeBron's pass was intercepted by Ling again!

This is Ling's 7th steal in this game. At the same time, he also gave LeBron his 8th turnover.

The Cavaliers made too many mistakes! "

"The sun strikes back!" Barkley completely ignored Smith's emotion and shouted directly:

"Four against three, a good counterattack opportunity!

"

The Suns did have a very good opportunity to counterattack. When Ling Yang dribbled the ball, neither Inergeskas nor James had time to stick to the defense, which allowed Ling Yang to charge forward with confidence.

As for the other Sun players, they ran earlier than Ling Yang.

Ling Yang rushed across the center line, and quickly passed the ball to Marion in front of him.

This made Gooden, who was still preparing to move his footsteps to intercept Ling Yang at the three-point line, return to defense in a hurry.

And Ling Yang, who passed the ball, also ran away at this moment, leaving behind James who was originally thinking of intercepting.

Ahead, Marion found a breakthrough opportunity beside Gooden, and seeing that Ling Yang had followed closely, he directly chose to make a layup by himself.

Anyway, if the layup fails, Ling Yang can make up for it later.

Perhaps because he was too relaxed with such thoughts, Marion really didn't make this layup.

Naturally, Ling Yang didn't waste this opportunity to get rebounds and score, he inserted strongly from the middle, and when the ball was about to come out, he stuffed it back again!

71:71, the Suns tied the score again.

What a familiar scene.

Looking at the score on the court, the Cavaliers immediately remembered the situation in the first half. At that time, they were leading all the way, and then Ling Yang made consecutive steals and counterattacked, overtaking the score.

"Mistake of control! Mistake of control!"

Mike Brown, who called a timeout, almost completely frowned at this time. In the third quarter of the game, James made 8 turnovers alone, and the team made 13 turnovers.

If it weren't for the Sun's poor shooting percentage in the positional offense today, this game might be ruined soon.

But Mike Brown is also very clear that a strong offensive team like the Suns may suddenly recover on the offensive end. If the Cavaliers give another chance like this, once the Suns catch it, there is a great possibility to give the team a fatal blow. hit.

If it weren't for the crowd at this time, Mike Brown really seemed to say to James: "LeBron, please don't make any more mistakes!"

James was also very complicated at this time, and he also wanted to control mistakes, and even for this reason, he reduced his possession of the ball in the third quarter.

However, the guy on the other side was too perverted, as soon as the ball was in his hands, it was as if he had been doped.

In the first half, he held the ball more, so he pressed himself. In the second half, he held the ball less, and he grabbed his own pass.

Could it be that I want to be invisible on the court?

A thought flashed through James' mind.

Returning to the field after a timeout, James took a breath and kept reminding himself.

"Don't make a mistake, don't make a mistake!""

Gooden served the ball from outside the three-point line. After receiving the ball, Snow saw James standing at a 45-degree angle at the middle distance, and passed the ball habitually.

At this moment, James is struggling to continue playing without the ball, or to attack with the ball. When he sees his teammates giving the ball directly, he doesn't have to worry about it anymore.

After receiving the ball, James turned slightly sideways, observing the positions of his teammates while carefully protecting the ball. Ling Yang's steal was too aggressive today, and such a short distance made him feel very insecure.

However, at this time, the Cavaliers players seemed to think that James was going to attack by himself, so they all pulled away directly, without thinking about actively running.

Seeing this, James immediately began to dribble the ball with his back against Ling Yang, waving his hands and making gestures to signal his teammates to run actively.

However, at this time James is indeed still very rough in back hitting. He only has his back to Ling Yang, but he is not completely stuck in the position.

Coupled with the fact that he is still gesturing to his teammates at this moment, he naturally has less protection for the ball.

Ling Yang discovered this keenly. How could he, who is addicted to stealing today, give up the opportunity.

Resolutely leaping out from the right side of James, Ling Yang attacked with his long arm, and his big hand directly grabbed the basketball that James was dribbling.

"Dangerous!

"

At this moment, Cavaliers fans can't wait to shout directly in James' ear.

James also felt the danger at this time, but...it was too late!

Just when James was thinking about pulling the ball away to protect it, Ling Yang's big hand poked lightly at the basketball that bounced up from the ground, and the ball immediately fell forward.

Ling Yang rushed forward and grabbed the ball in his hand, successfully stealing it!

"Oh no!"

James was in a hurry at the moment. Seeing Ling Yang who was about to dribble forward, he rushed forward directly, trying to grab the ball back directly.

However, Ling Yang didn't give him a chance, the first time he got the ball, he rushed out with the ball.

This time, because the two were positioned too far outside, the rest of the Cavaliers had no time to retreat.

Riding Juechen, Ling Yang rushed directly to the other half.

"Ling steals LeBron's fast-break counterattack again! The Cavaliers' defense can't keep up, Ling wants to attack by himself...Here comes, the dunk king!

!

"

"Bang!"

"Ling Yangfei succeeded in dunking, 73:71, the Suns overtook the score! The Suns once again used defensive counterattacks to complete the overtake of the score!

And it is still Ling Yang who has done all of this! "

Barkley on the sidelines was shouting, and the camera at this moment gave Ling Yang and James a close-up respectively.

Ling Yang got his 8th steal, and James contributed his 9th turnover at this moment.

On the sidelines, Mike Brown almost covered his face.

During the timeout, the only thing he emphasized was not to make mistakes.

Then, once on the court, the team made another turnover.

The one who made the mistake was James again.

James was also confused at this time. I kept paying attention and turned my back to him, and then...

"Tsk tsk!

Ling's defense today is very aggressive. In the third quarter, he has scored 8 steals!

"

Barkley was full of emotion in the commentary seat at the moment, and then he exclaimed again:

"Hey, Ling already has 18 points, 9 rebounds and 8 steals. He has already scored a quasi-triple-double! He only needs 1 more rebound and 2 steals, and Ling will get a triple-double!"
