NBA: I am the card dealer

Chapter 220: Mysterious Operation

The goal was a bit confusing, but it just went in.

This is a huge blow to all the Cavaliers.

It felt like fighting someone in the Colosseum. The injury was quite serious, but at the end, I found that I had been stabbed in the back, and blood was flowing out...

But James did not choose to give up.

As soon as the third quarter started, he straightened up and shot a three-pointer like a zombie.

middle!

Then in the next round, he forced his way into the penalty area and finally got two free throw opportunities and made both free throws.

in this way……

The score was immediately pulled back to 15 points.

pity.

James' luck seemed to have run out.

Next, I started hammering.

Three irons.

There is no middle distance either.

Even if he breaks into the basket, he can slip out of the frame.

The technology of smelting refined iron is perfect.

Fortunately, the Heat's touch also suffered a serious decline, and with the rest of the Cavaliers stepping up, the point difference has been pulling back and forth between 10-15 points.

You can't kill me.

But I can't catch up.

At the end of the third quarter, the score difference was still 13 points.

This means that despite James' poor performance, the Cavaliers miraculously won by 7 points in this quarter.

A trace of suspense remains.

This result was truly unexpected.

Even the commentators marveled: "When James made 13 of 7 shots in the first half and scored 21 points, 6 assists and 5 rebounds, the team actually lost by a full 20 points. In the third quarter, James made 5 He made 1 shot and only scored 5 points, which was a very poor performance, but the team miraculously won by 7 points, which is really incredible."

The commentator also said: "Yes, it gives people the feeling that the number of points James scores has nothing to do with the team's victory or defeat, which is very surprising."

Host: “I have to say that this is a problem that even science cannot explain.”

The three of them just barely said the words "I, King James, amassing data."

you do not say……

You score high and perform well, but the team loses and loses its pants.

On the contrary, when you play mediocre and reduce your shots, the team reverses and plays extremely high cooperation.

What is this indicating?

It means that when you take possession of the ball, all your teammates are silent and unable to perform well.

Or to put it bluntly, it means you are brushing data!

The better your performance, the more the team loses. Isn't this the main feature of brushing up data?

of course.

This is a relatively subjective self-conjecture.

The Heat scored 46 points in a single quarter, who wouldn't be confused about who to replace?

If your teammates can't score, it may be because you control the ball and cause your teammates to lose their offensive rhythm. It's your problem.

But if you can't prevent the opponent and let the opponent score 46 points in a single quarter, then it is not your problem alone, it is the problem of everyone on the team.

And at this time.

The camera suddenly showed James who was sitting off the court to rest.

James seemed to feel something and glanced up. His originally depressed face suddenly became energetic.

And the scene once again gave the highest courtesy.

——Booms filled the air.

The final battle in the fourth quarter.

After the main team rested, Chalmers stood up again, reaching the basket as if there was no one around, scoring consecutive points, and stretched the point difference to 17 points.

The Cavaliers couldn't stand it anymore and took the lead in making substitutions.

And just one round later, Spoelstra quickly followed up and replaced all the main players.

but.

But he left Chalmers, who played well in this game, on the court.

This lineup is smaller and has little deterrence on the defensive end.

But the advantages are more flexibility, faster speed, better mobility, and stronger three-point ability.

It can be regarded as completely abandoning defense and raising the offensive base to the highest level.

It can also be seen from this that Spoelstra's coaching philosophy has undergone earth-shaking changes.

In the past, Spoelstra mainly focused on height and defense, and it has become deeply ingrained.

It is extremely difficult to accept this novel tactic of abandoning defense and improving offense.

of course.

The main reason is that Spoelstra has tasted the sweetness of the five small lineups of death, and it is still the sweetness of honey.

The devastating offense, killing the opponent with a stick in an instant, has been staged countless times this season.

This has become their key to victory.

Is there any reason for Spo to not accept it?

If a five-small lineup is used at the beginning and someone beats the shit out of it, then this deadly five-small lineup may never see the light of day again in the Heat.

The game starts again.

Cavaliers attack.

After James pushed over, he also wanted to copy the pick-and-roll strategy with Irving at the beginning.

pity.

Irving's game stinks.

The Heat did not hesitate to flank James, causing James to be forced to take the ball without taking two steps.

Irving still voted resolutely.

But it’s still blacksmithing…

TT-Thompson has another offensive rebound.

With a crowd of people standing under the basket, he threw it away.

JR Smith finally had an idea.

Three out of three.

The Heat served the ball quickly and the three defenders ran wildly.

When coming to the frontcourt.

Chalmers consciously handed the ball to Xue Liancheng further behind.

This is a subconscious choice.

It can be seen that after more than half a season, Xue Liancheng's top performance has completely conquered this thorny issue.

Let Chalmers be convinced...

Xue Liancheng pushed the ball and headed straight for Shumpert while the Cavaliers were still on their feet.

Then while running, he suddenly threw a high ball to the basket.

Wade rushed up and flew into the air.

Irving, who was leading Wade's defense, also followed, only one body behind.

How can ordinary people dare to pass this kind of ball?

In fact, if it were other teammates, Xue Liancheng would not dare to pass it like this.

But his tacit understanding with Wade is quite high.

He knew exactly what Wade wanted to do and what he could do, and he felt like a mirror in his mind.

and so.

He had a rough idea of ​​Wade's intentions when Wade started it.

Coupled with his predictive ability, he was able to accurately determine Wade's take-off point and the distance of Irving's follow-up.

The ball passed was naturally just right.

It can even be said that it is not bad at all.

A little slower, or a little faster, a little higher, or a little lower, there may be mistakes.

This is the power of predictability.

Look back.

James pushed over and still started a pick-and-roll with Irving.

As a result, Wade took a step directly and waited for James in a squatting position.

PJ-Tucker didn't go around, and he was facing Owen in front.

This is completely clear to let you vote...

James was stunned, inexplicably surprised.

In the first half, he made 4 of 3 three-pointers, which was very efficient and his touch was very hot.

Until the third quarter, his three-point shooting dropped significantly. He took 3 shots and only hit 1 ball, which was also the only ball he made.

After three quarters, he made 7 of 4 three-pointers, and his shooting percentage is still very impressive.

Under such circumstances, Wade dared to let him shoot, which was far beyond his expectation.

But he only hesitated for a moment, pulled it out and threw it.

It's a pity that it's really tough...

The feeling is really gone...

James could only return to defense angrily.

But Wade smiled.

The two have played together for four years, and he knows James well.

At this stage, James is still not stable in three-pointers. He can make four or five three-pointers in a game, which is already a state of overwhelming feeling.

Especially in the third quarter, James' touch has obviously declined, which is why he dared to let James go.

Look back.

The Heat failed to cooperate, so Wade directly used his personal ability to penetrate the inside, turned around and made a small throw.

The point difference was stretched back to 18 points.

The situation is extremely unfavorable for the knights.

They have to have someone step up and score, otherwise, the game will end early.

Generally speaking, when the team encounters such difficulties, the star player must take responsibility.

Because you can't expect a role player to stand up and show his power to save the team from the fire.

at this point.

Irving certainly did it.

Hold the ball at the top of the arc and make gestures directly.

Then Shen Jian rushed in, but encountered a tight defense at the basket and had no choice but to pass the ball out.

Start organizing again.

But the attack time is running out.

and so.

Shumpert subconsciously handed the ball to James.

After James got the ball, he took a few steps back.

He started dribbling again and breathing into his hands.

result.

PJ Tucker was unmoved at all. He squatted within the three-point line and opened his hands to prepare.

That expression seemed to say: If you have the ability, just invest...

Two steps away from the three-point line, even if it was open, James didn't really dare to take a domineering shot.

Because now he does not have such conditions.

After the small ball era began in two years, James' three-point ability has indeed improved a bit, and he has also performed cold shots from long range.

But overall, James' long-range shooting level is still relatively ordinary, and can only be said to be hovering near the qualifying line.

In some seasons, it was better than the league average.

In some seasons, it was below the league average.

Very very unstable.

Even if you look at his career, three-pointers are not his main scoring method. He has never made three three-pointers in one season.

Most of them stay around 1.5. Only when they can no longer break through at the end of their careers, they try to increase their three-point shots, but they only take 2 or a little over 2 at most, and the shooting rate is also ordinary.

and so……

At this time, facing PJ Tucker's short shot, he didn't dare to shoot.

We can only move forward step by step.

then.

One changed direction in front of the body, the other accelerated, and charged inward crazily.

Without Sol's large-scale frame protection, James' push was obviously much flatter.

But the Heat's determination to put out James is very firm.

PJ-Tucker hangs his body close to his body, reducing James' impact.

Ibaka helped defend from the side, and Wade interfered from the side.

The most important thing is that the basket is full of people.

If you want to move on, you have to fly.

of course.

This is impossible.

At most, it's just a genius like James who can run rampant with his body. This is already the ultimate.

But no matter how strong the physical impact is, it can't crush a large group of people!

and so.

James came to the free throw line and couldn't get in.

In this case, either force the shot or pass the ball.

If you pass inside, it basically doesn't work, because people are pressing people, and when passing the ball at this time, there is a high chance of being intercepted.

The pass seems to be blocked. Chalmers and Xue Liancheng are leaning on 45-degree angles on both sides. No matter where the pass is, they can quickly cover up and prevent the rest of the Cavaliers from having an open space.

This is the brilliance of Spoelstra, who held James' lifeline, combined James' superb breakthroughs, and completely disintegrated them.

finally.

James still chose to make a strong shot, and with his absolute height advantage, he forced a jumping hook over P.J. Tucker's head.

Stand up straight, move stiffly, and have a weird shooting posture.

This is also not a scoring method that James is good at.

The result can be imagined.

There was a clang, and it became iron again.

Ibaka protects the rebound.

The Heat's fast break started again.

In the end, Xue Liancheng assisted Chalmers who followed up again, licking the basket and hitting again.

The difference was reduced to 20 points again.

There are still more than 6 minutes left.

This time.

The knight was really desperate.

It’s okay if you can’t attack yourself, but you can’t defend yourself.

The most important thing is that they are a full 20 points behind, how can this game be played?

How can we make a comeback in the last 6 minutes or so?

There is no hope at all...

There is really no hope at all...

but.

It seems a little early to give up now.

The knight generals could only bite the bullet and cheer up.

this round.

It can be said to be their last chance for redemption.

If you still can't get in...

Then it's really a death sentence.

Or to be more precise, the water covered his forehead, and he was almost waiting to die.

and so.

Shumpert, JR Smith, and TT Thompson pulled away early. The only thing they can do now is wait for their star to become the savior.

Even Owen subconsciously gave up his position.

After James pushed the ball over, he glanced at it.

PJ-Tucker is still shrunk in the three-point circle, and has no intention of coming up.

The position of the rest of the Heat is to tightly surround the entire restricted area.

This made James very embarrassed.

Forced attack?

It has been verified in the round just now that this will not work.

vote directly?

It's definitely not a good choice at such a long distance.

In the end, I was lucky for ten seconds.

He still chose to leave it to Irving.

It is clear.

In his mind, Owen's role should be reflected at this time.

But the problem is...

Irving's touch in this game was quite bad.

So far, he has only hit 15 goals in 5 shots, and his shooting rate is a shabby 33.3%. It is obviously very irrational to let Irving decide the game at such a critical moment.

But Owen doesn't care about that.

The ball is in my hand and I have the world.

At this point, Owen has inherited the character of the iron shell.

After getting the ball, he basically didn't hesitate, changed direction directly in front of his body, dribbled straight in with his hips.

Then suddenly he dribbled the ball from behind and pulled back.

Then he continued to accelerate, throwing away Wade and rushing in.

finally.

He also encountered strict defense.

In particular, Ibaka's flying approach has seriously affected his shooting posture.

Without any choice.

Owen can only throw the ball out.

The direction in which the ball flew was exactly where James was.

There are still the last 4 seconds of time.

After receiving the ball, James subconsciously wanted to throw it to others, but found that no one came to respond.

And now.

PJ-Tucker also retracted into the penalty area.

It is equivalent to saying that he is now in a state of absolute vacancy.

His chance came.

In this case, any player with three-point shooting ability will shoot.

And he shot without hesitation...

finally.

He hesitated for a while, and saw that PJ Tucker had rushed over quickly.

He gritted his teeth and decided to vote.

Brush the basket and come out.

James shook his head in annoyance.

Just when he was about to return to defense.

I don’t know how TT Thompson managed to get it stuck, even though he didn’t catch the ball in the first shot.

But he was still dialed out.

It happened to fall into Owen's hands.

Irving didn't know what he was thinking, but he threw the ball to James without any hesitation.

James was stunned for a moment.

Holding the ball, I seemed a little overwhelmed for a moment.

And this time.

PJ Tucker didn't even pounce, he just came up slowly.

The others even ignored him.

James saw it in his eyes, and his veins were stretched for a while.

This is so...

So insulting...

There is such a big open space, but you can't even defend it. Who are you looking down on?

James' eyes sharpened, and he raised his hand to make a shooting motion...

then.

Uh……

He stepped forward, started quickly, and rushed towards the penalty area...

Everyone was stunned.

The commentator bluntly said: "This...this...what is this situation? There is no one in front of James. What is the meaning of raising his hand to fake a shot?"

The commentator was also dumbfounded: "I don't know, I don't know at all, why didn't he shoot a three-pointer?"

The host said uncertainly: "Maybe he wants to rush up and run straight to the box?"

Commentator: "Run into the frame? Run into any frame. There are people inside. How to run? Can you run into it?"

The commentator said at this time: "I want to defend James on this point. His impact is extremely powerful. As we all know, as long as he is rushed into the penalty area, he will be omnipotent, including dunks from every other person. He He definitely had his thoughts behind doing this..."

But the words have not yet fallen.

James took a step inside the three-point line and suddenly made an emergency stop.

then……

Good guy...

He faced the rushing P.J. Tucker and shot.

That's right.

He rushed in and shot from midrange.

The commentator was stunned on the spot and swallowed back the rest of the words.

There is only one voice in my mind: What's going on? What's going on? What does James want to do?

soon.

The clanging sound of iron gave the answer.

What does James want to do?

Want to strike iron!

The audience at the scene was also stunned.

They can't see it at all, what kind of operation is James doing?

What's the difference between taking a three-point shot from outside and taking one step inside the three-point line?

Why didn't he shoot in an open situation, but he had to walk into the three-point line and shoot against PJ-Tucker who rushed over.

Completely incomprehensible.

This series of actions was completely mysterious. They thought about it for a long time, but they didn't realize the significance of doing it.

Is it...

I, James, are not used to the feeling of being open. I like to shoot against people?

Is it...

Is a two-pointer from the high post more challenging than an open three-pointer?

It's really incredible.

In fact.

When James took action, his head was also confused.

He really wanted to rush forward and run over people to get to the frame. Whether he could improve or not was secondary. Drawing a foul was also a good option.

but……

When he rushed up, the Heat's defensive line shrank urgently, directly shrinking the penalty area.

Then something happened and he stopped.

Then take off.

The moment he jumped up, he reacted.

But at this time, he could only bite the bullet and complete the shot.
