NBA: I am the card dealer

Chapter 198 The privilege of showing hands

Barkley: "LeBron is finally playing, but he's..."

He didn't say anything, but he was obviously very surprised.

Can you not be surprised?

It is unheard of and unheard of for the league's number one player to actually miss the opponent's main camp to play the game.

The most incomprehensible thing is that James was guarded to death at the beginning and made a triple iron.

As a result, Gasol and Ibaka went down, scored a goal, and celebrated domineeringly.

This……

It really makes people speechless...

O'Neal said with a half-smile: "I thought he was injured..."

Although he didn't say anything more.

But everyone in the know knows what this means.

You weren't hurt. What were you doing down there just now?

Just sit back and wait for someone you can defend to end up taking a break, and then show off your power?

Ah……

Isn't this inappropriate coward behavior?

James doesn't care what others think of him.

After finishing playing, he walked to the free throw line and waved his hands, looking very proud of himself.

At this moment, Spoelstra signaled for substitution.

James subconsciously took a look back and saw Gasol and Ibaka taking off their coats.

His expression changed instantly.

He muttered: Mad FK

Ernie Johnson: "Hey... Spoelstra replaced Gasol and Ibaka again."

O'Neal suddenly laughed, "Haha... LeBron's face is very ugly, and he is saying something..."

Barkley: "Spoelstra made the right choice. Since the defensive effect of Gasol, Ibaka, and Tucker is obvious, they should be allowed to keep their playing time consistent with LeBron's. Now let's see what LeBron does. response?"

Obviously.

Barkley was also very ashamed of James' evasive behavior, looking like he was just watching a good show.

Wait until everyone is in position.

Bang!

My brother, James, is also great at free throws.

Ibaka firmly received the rebound.

Xue Liancheng caught the ball and advanced quickly, but the Cavaliers still had no intention of changing their defensive strategy.

Let Irving defend one on one.

When he reached the top of the arc, he paused.

The front of the body swings widely.

Predicting that Owen's center of gravity would shift, he thrust directly to the other side.

While running over Owen along the way, someone reached out to interfere.

But these pretense actions were clearly displayed in his mind, and he ignored them at all.

He drove all the way to the basket, forcing his way against Irving, as if he was about to shoot.

After Owen pressed up.

He then turned around and picked the basket with a low hand from the other side.

Hit again!

This is his sixth goal of the game.

He took 8 shots and hit 6 goals. He has already scored 14 points.

The efficiency is very high.

Since Brat doesn't believe in evil, he naturally has to teach him a lesson.

He didn't believe that Brat could continue to be so stubborn.

O'Neal commented: "Xue Liancheng's breakthrough is very determined, and he has no reaction at all to other people's interference. I have to say that his ability to read the game is really too strong."

In the eyes of outsiders, Xue Liancheng's behavior of ignoring interference and forcing his way to the basket is a sign of his firm attitude and strong ability to read the game.

In fact.

Xue Liancheng relied on the dynamic pictures in his mind.

There is a fundamental difference between a defensive player pretending to interfere and resolutely interfering.

This can be judged from the movement of running over and reaching out, and the specific position.

The main thing is that the dynamic picture in his mind shows a sense of distance, which is not enough for him to pass the ball.

Then he will naturally be extremely determined when he gets to the basket.

Look back.

James wilted again.

After a few bad lucks at the top of the arc, the ball came out again.

At this moment.

Marion cuts suddenly.

Owen gave it immediately.

All members of the Heat immediately shrunk the line of defense.

Marion spread the word immediately.

Shumpert shot a three-pointer directly.

middle!

Tied at 25:25.

The other players on the Cavaliers performed really well.

Off-site attack and defense.

Xue Liancheng broke into the basket but failed to get up, and was interfered by Thompson.

Pass to Gasol.

Gasol mid-range.

No more.

Marion collected the rebound.

And James, who was at the top of the arc, was already going crazy fast.

But PJ Tucker was very tight and didn't give me a chance to play fast.

In the end, it can only fall into positional warfare.

James took the ball and adjusted it at the top of the arc, and made a strong breakthrough again.

Now the space on the court is very wide, so the Heat must shrink quickly.

Ibaka took the lead in shrinking.

James passed directly.

Marion's three-pointer is actually average, and he is better at passing and cutting.

But he voted resolutely.

Another three-pointer!

Barkley lamented: "The rest of the Cavaliers are feeling very hot, and LeBron's containment effect is still very obvious. As long as we keep it up, we can break the Heat's pinch strategy."

But the Heat's touch isn't bad either.

Look back.

Ennis finally got a chance, and Xue Liancheng immediately passed the ball.

The former also has small throws under the basket.

27:28

The score was very tight.

With more than two minutes left, Mozgov came up again.

Look back.

James repeated his old trick again, forced his way in, and was double-teamed as promised.

Thompson through the basket.

The latter is strong.

Ennis committed a late foul.

scored.

The whistle blows.

2 + 1

The extra penalty was also a solid hit.

Barkley: "LeBron's breakthrough power is beginning to show. Even if he can't score, he can still use his breakthrough to create opportunities for his teammates."

Heat offense.

Gasol and Ibaka completed the cooperation and made an internal pass.

There are also.

29:31

Do not give in to each other.

No one could contain the other's attack.

The Cavaliers attack.

This time it was Irving's turn to break through the pick-and-roll, and when he was also double-teamed, he passed through Thompson at the basket.

He succeeded in a dunk.

Look back.

Xue Liancheng advanced to the top of the arc with the ball. After the pick-and-roll, Owen didn't follow, and went to the next position in advance to wait.

Xue Liancheng directly raised his hand and shot.

Three points left.

Off-site attack and defense.

Owen returned the color.

After arriving at the top of the arc.

He also raised his hand and shot directly.

Also hit three points.

At the end of the first quarter, the two sides fought fiercely, and neither could guard the other.

On the Cavaliers' side, except for LeBron James, who can't score, everyone else can score.

On the Heat's side, except for Xue Liancheng who scored consecutive points, the others did not perform well and occasionally made one or two shots.

End of first quarter.

The score was an astonishing 35:38, and the Cavaliers led by 3 points.

And Xue Liancheng has already scored a career-high 19 points in a single quarter, giving people a feeling of how to shoot, and one person scored more than the rest of the team combined.

But only 2 assists.

It is conceivable how determined the Cavaliers are against his defensive strategy.

And the effect is quite obvious.

Without his link-up organization and his passing to create shooting opportunities, the others simply flamed out.

Neither Gasol's high-position support nor Batum's organization could exert the offensive firepower they should have.

On the other hand, the Cavaliers.

Just the opposite of the Heat.

My brother James made 4 of 1 shots and only scored 2 points, but he had 4 assists.

James has a really strong sense of the court. Unlike other superstars, he doesn't have to attack on his own or have to save face. He won't take action even if he is strictly defensive.

Except for the consecutive missed baskets in the opening period, he only took one shot after Gasol and Ibaka came off the court.

That was the time when I was showing off.

The rest of the time they are receiving the ball, or making room for teammates after rushing to the basket.

I don’t know if I’m afraid of hitting the iron, or if I’m seeking reasonableness in playing the ball?

Should have both.

But in the face of Xue Liancheng scoring so efficiently, the Cavaliers can still lead by 3 points.

This shows that the Cavaliers' defensive strategy is correct and James' choice is also correct.

only.

The premise is that personal data is sacrificed.

The beginning of the second quarter.

Xue Liancheng sat down and rested.

After all, Gasol is a tall man. Running back and forth consumes a lot of his physical energy. He couldn't stand it anymore and took a rest.

The current rotation on the court is: Chalmers, Ennis, PJ Tucker, Marcus Morris, and Ibaka.

As expected, I, James, didn't take a break. I seized this opportunity and finally made a difference.

Without Gasol's pit protection, PJ-Taker and Ibaka still couldn't withstand the impact of my big James.

Scored two in a row.

The hit rate immediately increased.

6 out of 3 shots, the efficiency still looks very good.

The most important thing is that Ibaka is not big. Although he is an inside man, he can help defend well, but LeBron still suffers from the main defense.

of course.

If the body is bigger and the tonnage is there, it will lose the ability to run and jump, and the advantage of mobility and assisting defense capabilities will be gone.

What you gain, what you lose...

There has been a dilemma since ancient times.

Even someone as perfect as LeBron James still has huge flaws.

If you make up for it with accurate mid-range and stable three-point shooting, you will be truly invincible.

and so.

Some things cannot be exacted.

Fortunately, the Heat's bench firepower is not bad and can be continued.

He won't be beaten to the point of being unable to fight back.

When Xue Liancheng and Gasol came on the court again, the Heat were 44 points behind at 50:6.

Barely acceptable.

Ernie Johnson said in surprise, "Hey, LeBron is... going down to rest again?"

Barkley frowned and spoke bluntly: "Although the strategy is correct, I always feel that... LeBron's behavior is not what a superstar should behave like."

O'Neal smiled and expressed his respect for me, King James, "I only rested for more than two minutes in the first quarter, so I can understand the end now. After all, I use my strengths to avoid weaknesses..."

While they were talking.

Xue Liancheng has completed the pick-and-roll with Gasol.

This time Gasol did not choose to go down, but pulled outside the three-point line.

Mozgov wanted to delay Xue Liancheng and did not pursue Gasol.

Xue Liancheng passed back directly.

Gasol had an open three-pointer and shot it directly.

Also hit three points.

47:50

The score difference is getting closer again.

So far in this game, Mozgov's ability to protect the frame has not been demonstrated.

In addition to the adjustment of the Cavaliers' defensive strategy, the most important thing is his own problem.

The tonnage is large and the pace is slow. Once Gasol is pulled out, he will not be able to come back.

Or if you retract it, you can't pull it out.

Like this round.

That's why.

Delaying Xue Liancheng was actually the right choice.

But because his pace is too slow, when Gasol catches the ball and shoots, he has no way to guard it.

Look back.

Irving was still strong enough, he rushed forward at every opportunity, and finally got to the basket, twisting his body to pull the lever to pick the basket.

Hit again!

This is the advantage of having more giants.

After all, even an iron man needs rest.

When the giant takes a rest, that giant can step in and maintain the firepower output.

There will be no disconnection.

But Gasol's ability to protect the frame is really good, and coupled with Ibaka's assisting defense, he can protect the basket tightly.

the next few rounds.

The Cavaliers players were forced to take shots from the outside, and their shooting percentage suddenly dropped.

The Heat also took this opportunity to complete the overtake.

at this time.

There are still 4 minutes and 33 seconds left.

James had to come back.

Both sides brought up all their starters and began the final battle before halftime.

The Cavaliers attack.

James pushed the ball over and paced for a while at the top of the key.

Directly complete the pick-and-roll with Irving, and the killer will go in.

PJ Tucker didn't dare to leave space for Irving, so he had to switch defenses.

But in fact, Batum's defensive ability is also good.

But his personal strength is still one level behind Tucker, and he is pushed forward by James.

Ibaka took the lead to help defend.

And Gasol was not far away, cutting off James's advance route.

This is the case.

James usually chooses to pass out to Love, or get close to Mozgov under the basket.

But this time he didn't.

Maybe he wanted to mention his score. After all, it was almost halftime and his score was still at 6 points. It was really a bit embarrassing for him to be the number one player in the league.

He twisted his body and shot directly from mid-range.

There was a clang.

Ironclad.

The Heat took the opportunity to launch a fast break.

pity.

The Cavaliers returned to defense very quickly, and the super-fast arrows like Wade were not there.

In the end, I couldn't find an opportunity and had to fall into position.

Xue Liancheng and Gasol exchange hands.

advance.

Send back again.

Then go straight to the basket.

Gasol reacted quickly and gave it immediately.

Xue Liancheng went to the basket.

It was empty.

Easy basket picking.

Hit again.

Look back.

James also advanced quickly.

pity.

Spoelstra also knows James' strengths and weaknesses, and his defense speed is only faster than the Cavaliers.

After falling into position after the war.

James wandered at the top of the arc for a moment.

He beckoned for a pick-and-roll again.

But this time the person recruited was Mozgov.

PJ Tucker was blocked and couldn't catch up in time.

Gasol squatted inside the three-point line.

My big Zhan Huang voted directly again.

It's a semi-open opportunity.

This was his first three-pointer attempt of the game.

pity.

Still can't feel it.

The sound of striking iron was extremely crisp.

Batum rebounded and advanced quickly with the ball.

Xue Liancheng did not ask for the ball, but quickly rushed to the frontcourt.

The ball is coming.

Face me, King James.

Xue Liancheng did not flinch at all, but moved in with a snake-like swing to kill the general.

But James' ability to adjust is really strong, he can react immediately, and quickly keep up, squeezing all the way.

Xue Liancheng was obviously one size smaller, and such physical contact made him extremely uncomfortable, but with the advantage of being stuck in his position, he still made it all the way to the basket.

Suddenly he turned around.

In the last Christmas battle, James had already seen Xue Liancheng's footsteps, so although he rushed over subconsciously, he didn't take off, but used his body and wingspan to put pressure on Xue Liancheng.

Xue Liancheng did not take action, but took another step forward, squeezed past with a low body, and took advantage of the situation to get up.

James was overjoyed, turned around and put his arms around him, about to give Xue Liancheng a strong hat.

But after the jump.

He regretted it.

Xue Liancheng was halfway through, and suddenly changed hands in the air.

The arm suddenly hit his arm.

He wanted to escape, but found that it was too late.

Xue Liancheng came here deliberately to cause a foul.

While the two were in physical contact.

The arms are intertwined.

Xue Liancheng took advantage of the situation and threw the ball.

but……

Never thought.

The whistle didn't sound.

James was ecstatic.

But that joy had just risen and was suppressed again.

After the ball wiped the board.

It went right into the frame.

The Heat already lead by 8 points.

Taking advantage of these two rounds, the Heat pulled the score into a controllable range.

O'Neill: "Xue Liancheng is really tough. He is strong against LeBron. Most people don't have the courage."

Barkley said: "This ball was obviously intended to cause a foul, but it was accidentally scored. But what surprised me even more was that the referee did not give a foul."

O'Neal nodded in agreement: "It is indeed obvious that there was a foul. The referee probably didn't see it..."

After landing.

James said harshly again: "Mad FK..."

And Xue Liancheng spread his hands to the bottom line referee, indicating what did this mean?

result.

Beep!

The referee stretched out his hand to indicate a technical foul.

This time.

Xue Liancheng was stunned.

O'Neal, the commentator, was stunned.

Buckley was also confused.

The entire audience was also a little confused.

Players on both sides were also confused.

what's the situation?

Why a technical foul?

Who is it for?

Even James was confused.

He thought he was swearing, so the referee gave him a technical foul warning.

then.

He looked at the referee, subconsciously spread his hands, his face full of innocence, and anxiously asked for an explanation: "Why? What did I do? Give me a technical foul?"

The referee pointed to Xue Liancheng, "I gave it to him."

This time.

James was even more confused.

After being dumbfounded, I was ecstatic...

Mud...

Make you cry...

Xue Liancheng was stunned, with a face full of disbelief, and blurted out, "Why?"

The referee replied with a cold face, "I don't allow anyone to complain to me."

As soon as these words came out.

The two reacted very differently.

James' expression instantly became wonderful.

Xue Liancheng laughed out loud, pointed at LeBron, and said unhurriedly, "He just raised his hands and asked why, didn't you give me a technical foul?"

The referee was also a little confused: "..."

It seems so!

After he signaled a technical foul, James immediately questioned him.

However, the referee reacted quickly and immediately replied coldly, "He just asked me who the technical foul was given to."

Xue Liancheng's expression darkened instantly.

I am Nima!

This is clearly aimed at him.

The home whistle definitely exists, it's a known fact, and he's one of the beneficiaries.

But can it not be so outrageous?

Tan Tanshou, without saying a word, gave him a technical foul.

Then according to this standard.

Isn’t it true that I, King James, will be sent off 108 times?

So damn...

Or is it the privilege of my big James?

Thinking so, he asked the same question.

"You said you don't allow anyone to complain to you, so I want to ask, there was a play in the first quarter, and LeBron didn't come back to guard him. What did he discuss with you? Does he have a registered trademark, so he has special privileges?"
