Bosh and Zhou Xuan blocked and dismantled, Thompson switched defenses, and Love defended Anderson in the bottom right corner.

Anderson wasn't going to stand stupidly and run up to the line to help Leonard block Waiters. Leonard didn't run back, but suddenly cut inside.

Zhou Xuan pulled the ball up, took a big step to the middle, and hit the ground and passed the ball to the basket. Leonard shook off Lefour in one step, took the ball and jumped up, and turned back to look at the moon with one hand to dunk the basketball. Lefu didn't even jump after his ass, he just stretched out his hand. 70 to 60.

Zhou Xuan had his 12th assist, and he continued to deliver assists after the start of the second half and firmly controlled the situation.

James is a little anxious, Love is more reliable than Bosh for his low-post offense, accurate three-point shooting than Bosh, and better rebounding ability, which is why the Cavaliers value him. But defensively, Lefou's can't compare to Bosh. No matter how many points he scores, he can make the opponent explode back. The Timberwolves have not been able to make the playoffs, and it is not all because of the lack of teammates. And in the years of the Timberwolves, he has been a little lazy, not active enough defensively, and likes to stare at rebounds.

People always know how to cherish when they lose, and James is a little bit of a Bosh now. Especially when he went to the low post to catch the ball and was targeted by Bosh. James squeezed twice with his back, turned around and didn't have a good chance, and passed the ball out again. Love was interfered with by Leonard on the periphery and didn't have a good chance to make a move, and then passed to Owen.

Owen singled out Zhou Xuan, forced it to get rid of, and missed the pull-up jump shot. Owen has skills, but he doesn't like to cooperate with his teammates, mainly relying on singles, and Zhou Xuan likes to defend him like this.

In the next round, the Knicks double-blocked. Anderson and Bosh helped Zhou Xuan block the defender, making him and Lefu misplaced, Zhou Xuan dribbled under the right crotch and changed direction, jumped to break through the bottom line successfully, and Lefu followed up with his arms on the side to interfere. Zhou Xuan pulled the ball up three steps, jumped up and pulled the rod in the air, attracted Le Fu to jump, and then shrank back to pass the ball with his right hand behind his back, and sent it from Le Fu's side to the middle. The ball was very stretched in the air, and Bosh in the middle squeezed Irving to get the ball in the air and shot the basketball with both hands from close range. 72 to 60. Zhou Xuan's 13th assist.

Irving wanted to return one, brought to the front court without passing, and relied on Thompson to block and force a breakthrough. However, it is more difficult for him to face Anderson than Zhou Xuan to face Lefu. Anderson followed to the baseline and interfered with the shot, and Irving passed to James on the perimeter.

James couldn't get past Leonard and passed Waiters again.

The latter catches the ball to get Bosh's attention and gives it to Thompson. Zhou Xuan blocked it with a close defense, Thompson turned around in one step inside the three-point line on the left side, Anderson came up again, and the two formed a bag. Irving stood in the bottom corner on the other side, and although it was empty, the ball was difficult to pass, which was a test of Thompson's ability to respond.

Thompson didn't see Irving, his back guard passed to James, and when the 24 seconds were up, James forced a shot and missed. Owen beckoned in the bottom corner, frustrated that he couldn't catch the pass, but he didn't know how uncomfortable his position was.

Irving is now a picturesque representative, fans can often see him break through to the basket and score in all kinds of incredible ways, the ball sense is simply outrageous, just talk about the ball sense, Irving is in the top five in the league. But looking at the ball quotient, Owen is disappointing, he hasn't figured out how to cooperate more tacitly with his teammates for several years, and lives in the singles highlights. As a defender with a high possession rate, he peaked 6 in 35 minutes. 1 assist.

With James as a teammate this year, Irving's possession rate has decreased, and it is good to have four assists, and he has directly transformed into an offensive strengthened version of Mo Williams.

The Knicks attacked, Zhou Xuan got rid of it with double cover, and the right side faced Lefu dribbling under the crotch and handed it to his right hand, his right shoulder shook slightly, and Lefu took a step back. Zhou Xuan took the ball and stepped back to make a jumper, scored a cricket ball at 45 degrees, and scored his 19th point! 74 to 60.

Cavaliers coach Blatter called a timeout.

His first arrangement was to replace Lefu and bring on Bagnani to increase mobility on the field. When he was coaching Russia, he didn't like to let the big man Mozgov play, and his favorite thing was to use the two big men in the front line and the fast one on the inside. Paradoxically, Lefu is the type he hates on the defensive end, with poor athleticism and can only defend against the penalty area.

Looking at Lefou's defense, in the 2013-14 season, Lefou's defensive contribution win value ranked No. 8 among all power forwards, the same as James. It ranks 21st in terms of points conceded per 100 overposes, but if you exclude players who have played less minutes, the actual ranking is probably 10th. So some people came to the conclusion that Lefu is not the best defensive level among power forwards, but it is by no means the defensive black hole that most people remember, and it is no problem to play center.

It's a pity that this list is not absolute, there may be 20 teams in the league that can't take LeFou, and the remaining ten teams can kill him alive, Lefu can only watch, and the Knicks are one of these ten teams.

A really strong team, there must be no obvious defensive weaknesses in any position, otherwise it will be difficult to win the championship. The Cavaliers now have weaknesses both inside and outside defense.

The first half tested each other, and the Cavaliers withstood it. In the second half, the Knicks stormed from the perimeter and pulled the score away. The Cavaliers were unable to chase the points next, and when they were with the Heat, the main tactics were fast break and star singles. Now Blatter can't fully instill his Princeton philosophy into the players, so he still plays singles, and two blocks and pick-and-rolls are all.

The Knicks led by 19 points 93-74 to end the third quarter, and Zhou Xuan then sent 4 assists, 4 points and 9 assists in a single quarter, a total of 19 points and 17 assists, and finished Irving's 11 points and 3 assists.

Zhou Xuan rested in the last quarter, and Bledsoe and Gordon were on the outside, Butler at small forward, Anderson at power forward, and Jefferson on the inside as a strong offensive point in the low post.

The Knicks picked up the tempo and used frontcourt pressing to make it difficult for the Cavaliers to play fast-break, and four minutes later, Bledsoe forced a breakaway and drew Thompson's fourth foul. Thompson was substituted off the break. Lefu and Vallejo were present, and they did not cooperate tacitly.

Bagnani sat on the bench, and when he entered the NBA with the first pick and was considered Novitzki's second, he was injured several times and couldn't shoot accurately. What's even more terrifying is his defense, the reaction is half a beat slow, there was a ball before Zhou Xuan broke through and split the ball, Bosh shot outside the penalty area, three steps away from Bagnani, Bagnani actually jumped up and defended the air.

Blatter vowed not to let him play again today. It's not a lack of concentration in defense, it's a brain problem, it is estimated that Ao Pang will be very happy to see this shot, and the "Five Embarrassments" have a new theme.

The Cavaliers management regretted the most was that they didn't trade Bagnani in the summer, even in exchange for a trade exception. Stayed in the team and didn't get a chance to play.

Vallejo is on the field, the defense guard breaks through in general, there is no problem with the defense inside, the two can block the restricted area, and they are also good at grabbing rebounds.

Bledsoe and Gordon buried their heads and rushed inside, which was inefficient, and Bledsoe also made a mistake, and was counterattacked by the Cavaliers, and James dunked. The Cavaliers chased 7 points in a row, and at 4 minutes, D'Antoni replaced Zhou Xuan and Leonard, and replaced Bledsoe and Gordon.

Bredsoe played like an All-Star, and this time it was beaten back to its original shape. He's a phenomenal player who can score, can play luxury numbers in the right system, and can even score amazing highs against teams that don't defend well. But he was unstable, and he didn't figure out what was going on with the rhythm of the game after the rookie contract was over. The whole team had to run after him, and he couldn't see anyone and wouldn't wait for anyone.

Gordon is also a "man crazy" type. He hasn't played since he left the Bulls, and if his partner doesn't like to run, he's scrapped.

After the substitution, the Knicks immediately stabilized the situation. Zhou Xuan and Jefferson blocked and dismantled against Valejo, and after dribbling under the crotch in a row, they changed to the right and broke through successfully, attracting James to make up for the defense, and the ball was divided into the periphery.

Butler received the ball and scored a three-pointer from an open position. James only paid the price after making up for the defense once, and he didn't dare to let go of the defender lightly. Butler has an annual salary of 2 million, and he is like a marginal person in the Knicks, but he has the strength of a middle-class player, which is the attraction of a championship team.

The Cavaliers missed three points, Jefferson grabbed the rebound, Zhou Xuan broke through again, and Irving chased the defense. As soon as he chased Zhou Xuan, he divided the ball, and Jefferson jumped in the middle and scored. Vallejo is not fast either, and the defense is slow.

Then the Cavaliers missed the attack, Zhou Xuan broke through Valejo's defense, no one came to make up for the defense, and he scored a layup. As soon as he came on the court, he returned 7-0, and the difference widened to 18 points.

James stepped up to pick the lead, and the other players pulled outside to cover and wait for the opportunity to shoot. The Knicks resolutely used a single defense, Leonard on the perimeter interfered, and Jefferson on the inside interfered, using a 32-defensive formation.

James went on a rampage with Jefferson and hit four in a row. The two are in misalignment, and James' speed is not something Jefferson can keep up with. Turning around and hooking hands, stepping back jumpers, breaking through dunks, James played very passionately. However, Zhou Xuan, Jefferson, and Anderson's blocking knights couldn't prevent it.

Zhou Xuan passed to Anderson, the Hawks ran to catch the ball offensively, and hit a three-point shot in the bottom corner, and Lefu was slow to defend it.

Seeing that the defense was not good, the knights replaced Lefou. The Knicks also immediately replaced Jefferson with Bosh.

The two big man pitchers on the outside are partnered, and James is not easy to play in the low post. In the Heat, the two giants often practice together and know the roots. Bosh knew what to do to limit James' effectiveness. As long as the defense breaks through and forces him to turn around and jump to the baseline. Kobe Bryant's baseline step-back jumper is a big trick, and he can often score, and James's bottom-line jumper posture is not so beautiful, and the shooting rate is not high, reducing efficiency, and the Knicks' defensive purpose is achieved.

In the final two minutes, the Cavaliers were still 16 points behind and couldn't catch up. Zhou Xuan was replaced early to rest, and the game entered garbage time. The Cavaliers gambled on three points, Irving and James made two, and Love continued to play iron, and today he was in terrible shape and inaccurate from the outside.

Butler, a Knicks substitute, hit another three-pointer, and Bosh made a 2+1 attack with a misplaced attack, and maintained the advantage until the end with the efforts of the two.

122-106, the Cavaliers got off to a black start at home after a summer of blowing.
