Chapter 180: [Backfield Twin Guns]

James scored 10 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists in a single quarter, and the only one who could help him was Mo Williams, who had 7 points and 2 assists. Such statistics are not enough for them to defeat the current Warriors.

In the second quarter, the Warriors fielded an all-bench lineup, Turiaf, Wright, Azubuuk, Ellis, and Watson.

The Cavaliers are Vallejo, Hickson, Szzczebiak, Delonte? West, Daniel? Gibson. The same double back.

Double-backs are prone to defensive weaknesses, but it doesn't matter if both teams play like that. They just rely on the guards to score and defend inside.

Ellis became the main point of attack for the Warriors, which made Watson a little frustrated, he used to be able to shoot as much as he wanted in the second quarter, and now he took Ellis through the half, and then Turiaf and Ellis played pick-and-rolls.

Ellis has distinct characteristics, that is, he is fast, and he is definitely the number one in the league. In the year of the Warrior Black Eight Mavericks, several counter-attack photographers couldn't keep up with his speed, and disappeared from the camera in an instant. He rushed up, neither Vallejo nor Hixon could keep up.

The Cavaliers only have one interior player who can defend against pick-and-rolls, and that's Ben Wallace, and he's going down to rest at this point. Ellis kept creating opportunities through breakaways, pull-up jump shots, breakaway layups, and played the whole Cavaliers team alone, and the remaining four were responsible for defense.

Nelson Sr. sighed off the court, it was right to let Ellis play as a substitute, this guy can't be a playmaker, he will only play at his own pace, in his own way. As long as he is allowed to control the ball, his teammates become spectators. Fortunately, he was injured, and the team introduced Zhou Xuan, otherwise Zhou Xuan didn't know which team Lu Dao was on now, maybe it was the New York Knicks, which made them look blushing. At that time, the Knicks also considered bringing in Zhou Xuan to strengthen the guard line, but the Warriors were closer to Los Angeles and took the lead. In the D'Antoni system, Zhou Xuan will definitely stay and become the starter.

A few minutes later, the score was nearly widened, 41-30, and Brown had to replace James in advance, trying to suppress the Warriors' offense with an ace.

The old Nelson did not rush to replace Zhou Xuan, but replaced Margeti to defend James, replacing Watson, who was 188CM and only dribbled the ball through the half. Two offensive players against James one, who does he defend?

James may not have been able to solve the pick-and-roll problem, but he was able to attack, relying on Vallejo to cover Margeti, to the left side, facing Wright with a crotch dribble that changed direction, burst into the basket and hit a throw before Turyaf could make a stop. 41 to 32.

Many people think that James is just playing with his body, but in fact, he also has excellent skills, but the muscles make movements to make a little uglier.

The Warriors attacked, Ellis continued to break through by covering and rushed inside, Margeti saw James let go of himself to make up for the defense, and wanted to tell Ellis to be careful, Ellis passed Hixon for a layup, James jumped up from the side, a pegboard cap smashed the ball on the rebound, and popped far away. Hickson picked up the basketball and threw it to the front court, the front court formed a dislocation, and West took the ball and easily shook off Turyaf and scored on the basketball. 41 to 34.

Old Nelson waved his hand at Zhou Xuan, signaling him to be calm for a while, and said to Randolph: "Zach, you are ready to play." ”

Zhou Xuan guessed that the old Nelson still valued Ellis very much, and wanted to see if Ellis could make corresponding adjustments when several offensive players were on the court. Playing with speed, he was very powerful when he was young, but once he got older, his speed slowed down, and his state immediately declined, Iverson is the best example, when people thought that his personal ability, breaking through the skills of Kobe Bryant a few streets, as a result, the 33-year-old Iverson quickly weakened and developed in the direction of a tumor.

The reason why Ellis fell to the second round of the draft was because he played poor passing at a point guard, and he was too short to fight a point guard, and no one wanted to bet on him at 191CM with only 84 kilograms. He played in the Warriors system as a result of Nelson Sr.'s bold experiments. But if he doesn't transform into a point guard and slow down the pace, he'll never become a first-class star.

James distributed the ball to West, who cooperated with Vallejo to block and miss, and James grabbed a frontcourt rebound and scored a rebound. 41 to 36.

The Warriors made a substitution, with Randolph coming up for Wright. He came on to protect the rebounding ball in the backcourt, and the two benches on the floor had average rebounding ability. At this time, the Cavaliers also replaced Sickson and replaced Ben Wallace.

The Warriors attacked, and now all four people on the court except for Turyaf could shoot, and Ellis took it to the frontcourt, and cooperated with Randolph to block and dodge Gibson, and then went to the inside.

If this kind of ball is handled by Zhou Xuan, it will be passed to Randolph nine times out of ten, and if it is not passed, it must be that the opponent did not change the defense in time. Gibson is only 188cm tall and weighs 90 kilograms, which seems to be strong, but he is far worse than Randolph. The data clearly states that his defense is very average, his specialty is only three-point shooting, and he won the MVP with 11 three-pointers in the All-Star Game.

Obviously misplaced Ellis did not pass, against Wallace, relying on speed and failed to completely pass the opponent, Wallace raised his hand on the side and followed all the way to the baseline, Ellis circled from under the basket and then found someone to pass the ball, gave Azubuke, only to reorganize on the perimeter.

After a couple of passes, when the 24-second clock was running out, Margeti forced a shot and missed the rebound, and the rebound was won by Vallejo.

It was just one attack, and the old Nelson shook his head again. After a long truce, Ellis needed time to adjust. He is still an assaulter who can only fight by himself, and he has been following the Warriors game at home, watching Zhou Xuan play so many games, don't you have some understanding?

Of course, there are also feelings, Ellis feels that he is much better than Watson, Azubuuk, Morrow and others, and if he has a basketball in hand, he can score. As for how Zhou Xuan played, Ellis didn't pay much attention to it at all, only knowing that he dribbled the ball over half the court, passed the ball, and then couldn't score a few points in the whole game, and I don't know how so many assists came about.

Ellis just likes to score, he doesn't really care about how to pass the ball.

James received the ball in the frontcourt and suddenly hit a dry shot after dribbling at the top of the arc. 41-39, unconsciously the two sides are only two points apart.

Ellis dribbled past half court and finally chose to pass, but it was brought to the side and handed to Randolph, hoping that Randolph and Ben Wallace would be stronger than each other. Randolph dribbled twice, turned and hooked his shot wide, and Turiaf touched the ball off the line as he scrambled for the rebound.

The match went into an official timeout. An official timeout occurs when both sides do not call a timeout for a certain period of time, and when there is a dead ball, it is counted as an official timeout. The NBA is a commercial organization, and if it is not suspended, there will be no time to broadcast advertisements, and the advertising fee will not be obtained. Today the coaches of both teams wanted to let the players of both teams adjust themselves.

"Zhou, you go on the court, Andris also plays, protect the rebound, pay attention to speed up the offensive tempo and counterattack, Muntah, you are responsible for running and trying to break through the layup."

Old Nelson only said Ellis, and he believed that others would know how to play as long as Zhou Xuan controlled the ball. And when Zhou Xuan played, it would be difficult for Ellis to get the ball no matter how much he wanted to play.

After the timeout, the Cavaliers attacked, and there were two guards on the court, Mo Williams and West, facing the Warriors' double guard, the Cavaliers did not have a player who could take advantage of the height advantage to play alone, Szebiak was replaced, and now he is a typical high-paid and incompetent player, who can do nothing but shoot.

James and Vallejo blocked and cooperated, Margeti bypassed the defense to chase James, Randolph blocked in front, and the two formed a pinch. James passes the ball to the middle, and Vallejo receives the ball and turns to shoot.

With a snap, Vallejo's ball was slapped off, and Zhou Xuan let go of Mo Williams' defense and made a successful steal before Vallejo raised his arm. On the international stage, Vallejo can only be a substitute for Nenei, and he has some bad problems, and his center of gravity is very low, perhaps to facilitate the development of fake falls. He doesn't like to play high and the ball is in his belly after receiving it.

Yao Ming also had this problem before, and then gradually changed it, otherwise the defender might have taken the racket off if he was fast. After Zhou Xuan broke the ball, Ellis immediately rushed out of the ball to shake off West, Zhou Xuan paused and threw it to the basket, and Ellis scored a layup.

West was thrown two steps away by him and didn't have time to jump, unless he fouled maliciously to stop the opponent, the scud really wasn't covered. 43 to 39.

The Cavaliers attacked, Mo Williams passed to James, Ben Wallace pulled to the high cover, James broke through and split the ball, and Mo Williams hung to the low post Vallejo to single Biedrins. If it can be scored in the low post, it will definitely help the team. The two were about the same height, with Bidrins on top, Vallejo turning and shooting wide, and Randolph grabbing the backcourt rebound under the basket.

The Cavaliers immediately returned to defense, without the slightest bit of mud and water, for fear that the Warriors would play a fast attack. Zhou Xuan didn't take the lead, and Ellis, who was ready to play three in the half, fell into the positional battle.

Zhou Xuan took the ball to the front court and passed to Margeti who ran without the ball, James did not press, under the cover of Randolph, Margeti held the ball into the three-point line, bypassing James, and Ben Wallace changed the defense.

"Andris, bottom corner!" Zhou Xuan shouted and ran to Margeti to catch the ball, and the four strong men were concentrated near the high position, and the bottom corner was empty.

If Zhou Xuan didn't shout, Biedrins would be standing stupidly under the basket, and after hearing him scream, he remembered to go to the bottom corner to cover Ellis, Zhou Xuan received the ball and passed to the low post, Ellis covered the air without the ball, Vallejo couldn't change the defense, and Ellis received the ball and scored a backhand basketball. 45 to 39.

Zhang Cheng said excitedly: "It's from the cooperation of Zhou Xuan and Ellis again, fans who are worried about their conflict over the ball can rest assured, and the two sparked in the first game." ”

Ellis gave Zhou Xuan a thumbs up in the middle of the defense, and he saw that Zhou Xuan's overall view was much stronger than his own. He can only score, but Zhou Xuan is like a leader on the court.
