Chapter 1202: Drag James down
The game that should be played still has to go on.
Two days later, the second game of the finals came again.
For this game, it should be said that the Cavaliers are more prepared.
James still chose to directly target Shen Huan alone.
Although this method made him only score 15 points, 7 assists, and even cramps twice in the last game, Shen Huan was not comfortable being closely targeted by such a superstar.
In the whole game, Shen Huan "only" scored 27 points, 13 assists, 11 rebounds, 11 steals and 10 blocks, barely completing a five-double record.
It is precisely because of such "results" that although the Cavaliers lost the last game, their military spirit was not lost.
Even Shen Huan can be defended to "only" score 27 points, we have such a James, we can fight to the death!
You must know that Shen Huan's average score in the playoffs is more than 40 points per game!
Such a miracle, even a data maniac, Zhang Wanwan slashed X2 Buren, Master couldn't do it.
If James defends Shen Huan to this extent in every game, then it is possible for the Lakers to break through the limit.
But in fact, the outside world is not optimistic about this.
Because James is one of Shen Huan's most admired players - this is what Shen Huan himself said, so Shen Huan will not hit him hard and will not fight to the death.
Even if he was fouled, Shen Huan endured it, and he wouldn't be the kind that almost killed him like he did with JR Smith.
But the problem is that you, James, are 32 years old, can you do the first 48 minutes without resting, can you do the second game, can you do the third game, can you do the fourth game...... Can you still play in the fourth game?
Shen Huan doesn't have to play any killing tactics, just dragging you like this can drag you to death!
James himself understands this.
However, he couldn't help it.
If you bet, there is still a glimmer of hope.
If you don't bet, let Shen Huan go, let Shen Huan attack frantically, Shen Huan is not an exaggeration to score 60 points in a game.
Coupled with Shen Huan's power on the defensive end, as well as his magic skills such as passing assists, basically the Cavaliers will definitely lose even more.
So from the beginning, James adopted the same way of marking, whether it was Shen Huan's offense or defense, James must follow at any time.
It's only when his teammates really can't open up the situation that James will participate in the offense.
But it still didn't work.
Shen Huan obviously sped up his speed in this scene.
From the first minute, Shen Huan used fast running, and Shen Huan could be seen on the field anytime and anywhere.
And Shen Huan's coverage area is very large, from front to back, from left to right.
James was tired now.
The first quarter was only 6 minutes long, and when the pause sounded, he couldn't get back to his seat at all, and sat down on the ground all at once.
In other words, the NBA is shameless enough.
The original pause will only be suspended if the two parties do not pause for a long time, or choose two or three fixed time periods to pause in order to insert sponsor ads.
Usually there are no more than 6 times in a game.
But now it's okay, in any playoff game that Shen Huan plays, if you don't call a timeout for twelve or thirteen times in a game, you are embarrassed to call yourself the NBA.
No way.
It's because advertisers are so enthusiastic!
They rushed up with the money in their hands, and you said the NBA could not do it?
Especially at super critical moments such as the Western Conference Finals and the Finals, a 30-second ad can be sold to three or five advertising agencies to earn at least millions of dollars.
Combined with the team's own timeouts, game breaks, etc., the revenue of a game's interstitial advertising can exceed more than 30 million US dollars!
After a series, hundreds of millions of dollars in advertising are appropriate.
The NBA is supposed to make money first, how can they not make this money?
However, judging from the results, all the players still agree with it.
The main reason is that Shen Huan is too strong, and the players who are opposite him, as well as the players who have been ravaged by him, need time to recover.
For example, James in this scene completely disregarded his image, and could only sit there and pant constantly.
It looks like he's about to fall unconscious.
His teammates who didn't play brought him a bottle of water, and he shook his head to indicate that he couldn't drink it.
His die-hard fan, TNT commentary ace Kenny Smith, was very frightened, "LeBron, don't be like this, right? Shen Huan can drag him down in 2 quarters, won't he fight?"
"It turns out that this trick doesn't work!" O'Neill also shook his head, a little regretful.
"Miserable!" Barkley muttered, but he didn't fall into the trap.
Shen Huan's move is really powerful, with a large-scale transfer, it greatly consumes James's physical strength.
Even at this intensity, Shen Huan also shot 2 three-pointers, how do you say James lived?
If he doesn't continue to follow Shen Huan closely, is it difficult for Shen Huan to hit 30 three-pointers in one game?
But basketball is such a brutal sport.
As soon as the break time passed, James struggled to stand up and continued to cling to Shen Huan.
In this situation, until the end of the first quarter of 12 minutes, James, who had been tense, couldn't eat it directly, and fell down cleanly.
If Shen Huan hadn't supported him, he would have fallen to the ground and fallen asleep directly.
Seeing James like this, the only more than 1,000 fans of the Cavaliers couldn't help but shout the words "rest" and "rest".
James was lifted onto a bench on the sidelines by two players, and the masseur gave him water while massaging his legs and neck.
That is, there is no acupuncturist here, otherwise there will be an acupuncture directly.
"LeBron, you rest for the first half of the second quarter and wait until you're recovered. "The manager had no choice but to ask of him.
James was so tired that he didn't say a word, and after drinking the water, he gasped desperately, like a person who had just lost his oxygen.
On the other hand, Shen Huan was slowly drinking water, still feeling like he had just come out of the gym.
Obviously, Shen Huan is the one who consumes more physical strength, but it turns out that he is relaxed and calm, or he can run a marathon now.
Such a physical maniac really made the Cavaliers tremble a little.
Only then did they realize that the reason why they didn't see Shen Huan running around the field in the game last year was completely unnecessary.
Now James is staring at Shen Huan even more crazily than last season, and Shen Huan simply dragged James down.
In such a situation, let alone James, even if Kyrie Irving is added, I'm afraid there will be no return!?
