Chapter 233: The Reason for Three Consecutive Defeats

The break was fleeting, and the coaches on both sides were instilling the message that they couldn't afford to lose. www.biquge.info The Raptors feel that they have been hacked, and three people, including the head coach, have left the court, isn't that dark enough? It was the first time James had encountered such an annoying game, this one said he was walking, the other said he was relying on his father, and he also stumbled on Joey's smelly and hard stone, which made him very depressed.

At the start of the second half, the Raptors replaced Smith for Barnes, hoping that his three-point shooting could help the team open up the situation. The Cavaliers also took Snow down, and Damon Jones stayed on the court, which was also an excellent three-point shooter, and the Cavaliers basically relied on him to open up space.

At the beginning of the game, Kyle controlled the ball and moved forward, looked at Hughes in front of him, and knew in his heart that this was the strategy of the Cavaliers and the strategy of most teams against the Raptors. Kyle didn't choose to come hard, and gave the ball to Jamal to handle, and it was most effective to play one board at a time.

Single-handedly against Ilgoskas, a few turns without response, back to the answering Kyle, and back, Jamal to the inside Joey, who came in and dunked a backhand. James doesn't know how to start with air defense, his attention is not so concentrated, generally only in single defense and chaotic battles, he can play the greatest defensive effect, he is not very willing to do it in terms of assistance defense and supplementary defense, the reason is very simple, "emperor"! There's always a little bit of arrogance.

Turning around, James finally got in with the help of the block, and there was a squeeze and interception inside, and the ball was returned to Ilgoskas, and then the outside line, Damon Jones shot three times and hit!

Kyle watched his teammates play hot, cruising outside the three-point line, and wondered if Hughes understood Kyle or believed in God, and let Kyle go more than two steps. Finally, after Jamal poured the ball a few times, this time to Kyle. Take a look, steady and steady, shoot three points, and hit! With no obstruction or interference, Kyle is still very stable.

James once again used the pick-and-roll assault to the same result, being kept out of the box by the Raptors. I had no choice but to divide the ball, passed a few hands, and returned to James's hands, looking at the situation, he wisely chose to pass to Hughes, as the second leader, the god with an annual salary of more than 10 million, it is indeed time to stand up and perform.

Hughes dribbled silently, paused, and with fourteen seconds left, he stepped forward towards Smith, spanning a lot, leaning over, and James's straight-waisted breakaway. Hughes is beautiful and agile, James is tough and tough, and the style is very different. Of course! Hughes not only had a good breakaway move, but he was also very effective, he went to the basket and scored small throws

Then, Kyle burst into the middle of the net, Smith had a mid-range opportunity, and the ball bounced on the basket before obediently going into the net.

The process of the game was calm, the two sides fought hand-to-hand, the intensity deepened, and the action at hand was not small. No one can score continuously, so as to completely open the score, you score, I score, you hit the iron, I miss, and just grind the third quarter to the end.

During the period, Kyle broke through and was fouled by Hughes for an offensive foul, and after less than a minute, he was whistled by the referee for grabbing a rebound. With more than three minutes left in the third quarter, Kyle had no choice but to be replaced early.

After coming off the bench, veteran Marshall began to exert his power, scoring 6 points in a row, and Jalen was beaten to the ground. Calderón, the aura is no longer there, 2 mistakes in a row, 4 points, and the score was instantly stretched to double digits.

In such a situation, Telek had to replace the main force in advance and enter the decisive period early.

With five minutes left in the fourth quarter, Bosh hit a three-pointer to cut the deficit to five and forced Mike Brown to call a timeout.

This year marks Mike Brown's first time at the helm, and at just 35 years old, he's one of the youngest head coaches in the league, but he deserves it. He once became a video editor at his own expense, and it only took three months from internship to regularization, during which he was not paid a penny. His hard work and passion for basketball impressed the Nuggets' top brass and he became a scout soon after.

With a few years of seniority, in '97, he finally got his first coaching job as an assistant coach with the Washington Wizards. After another three years of grinding, he came to work under Popovich at the turn of the millennium, where he was well trained and learned, and began to develop a defensive philosophy. By the time he joined the Pacers in '03 and became Carlisle's underman, his defensive philosophy helped the team improve quickly and achieve great results, and it was at this time that he began to gradually become recognized by the circle.

This year! He finally waited for this great opportunity to coach LeBron James, and he lived up to everyone's expectations, holding the top four spots in the Eastern Conference so far this season, and Cleveland's return to the playoffs in eight years will soon become a reality. He has established himself on the NBA stage, and he has finally achieved his dream goal.

Mike Brown's emphasis on the defensive philosophy is that defense comes first, that is, all offense serves defense. For example, defensive counterattacks, such as the importance of rebounding, such as mutual assistance in assisting defense, one-on-one concentration, and ferocity. All in all, defense comes first, offense comes second, and the core idea of focusing on defense is instilled.

Attack! Isn't James an offensive machine? Mike Brown lays out a lot of tactics, but the only core James, everything is based on James as the starting point, the transit point, and even the end point.

Just like the current timeout, Brown first emphasized defense, "Get your energy out, look for more physical matchups, play our own characteristics, and focus more on defense." On the offensive end, pay attention to cover for LeBron, and after pulling out space, he receives the ball and shoots resolutely to seize the opportunity. ”

Whistle blows! The suspension ends.

James is no longer humble and controls the ball, and this round is crucial, and he has to step up and stop the slump for his team.

Watching his teammates start to intersperse with running, he suddenly accelerated, and everyone quickly closed in, except for Jones, who had a certain threat of three points, everyone else abandoned their opponents. James had no choice but to divide it, Hughes watched the play outside the three-point line, and he didn't dare to shoot two steps after receiving the ball, and was trapped, and then divided Ilgoskas, who threw Jamal in a high position, and came out of the frame!

Under the basket, Bosh and Gooden crowded each other, and finally Bosh overwhelmed the opponent and won the rebound, but before he could make a move, the hand-long James took it away, pulled it out on the spot, and scored the ball against Bosh and Kyle, who wanted to grab the rebound. Whistle blows! 2+1, plus penalties. The referee blew for a foul on Kyle, which was frustrating.

The defense was in place in the first half, but the mistake in the end was very undeserved, plus Kyle made five fouls, and Tylek almost jumped on the sidelines, but he was helpless. Obviously, this blowing penalty can blow Bosh or Kyle, which is reasonable, but the referee just blew Kyle, who was on his back and committed four fouls, which is a bit targeted, but people can't say anything.

Back Kyle didn't care about going headlong and the Cavaliers also chose to shrink, Kyle split the ball just right, and Jamal made a high 45-degree jumper.

James is sudden with the help of blocking, which is the most effective way for the Cavaliers to score, but unfortunately it backfired, and before he could break deep enough under the basket, he heard the referee's whistle blow, and the whole court was blindfolded. What's the situation? Kyle Chrysanthemum tightened, he reached out to pick up the ball just now, this is his instinctive reaction on the court, and he blew him for such a foul in the first half, won't this be?

The referee motioned for James to walk, and Kyle was even more confused! He's close, and James hasn't jumped up yet! That's walking, and there's no obvious walking like a shuffle or two dribbles, what kind of is this? At such a critical moment, such an obvious miscalculation, is it a balance?

Outside the stadium, Teleker was expressionless, but his heart was happy, but the audience didn't buy it at all, and the boos rose again.

James was furious, with three folds on his forehead, a crying expression, and his whole face was black and black. He kept signaling to the referee, saying that he didn't know how he was walking! And then the eggs. The referee listened to the boos from the audience, and how could he still have the heart to discuss the philosophy of life with James, and issued a warning, saying that he was a repeat offender.

Teammates come to pull people, if you don't pull it, you can't do it! James already had a technical foul and would have to leave the court with another one.

Nothing. The game is as usual.

The Raptors attacked, Kyle handed the ball to Jamal, who then passed to Joey, who cut inside and James was eye-catching this time, following closely. Joey didn't have a chance, and then it was assigned to Kyle, and in the face of Hughes, Kyle didn't attack, the most important thing was that he couldn't attack. Hughes, who is tall and long-armed, can be selected to the All-Defensive Team and can average 2.9 steals per game, which is definitely not a vegetarian, of course! It was last season.

Jamal made a pass, Bosh shook it, leaned on Gooden to break through, Jones came to the bag, Bosh hurriedly separated, and James came to make up for the defense after Smith received the ball. The situation is not right, Smith can only return to Kyle, there is not much time left, Kyle can't care about organizing anymore, tentative step, click, Hughes on the opposite side does not hesitate to stand a step away, he doesn't believe that Kyle will vote, and this position is just right. Shots can be saved, and they can also be prevented from breaking.

Three seconds! Kyle no longer hesitated, pulled up and projected, Hughes jumped up, as the two of them raised up, Kyle had to lean back, lean, adjust the shape of his hand, and pull out hard. Watching the ball fly, Kyle didn't score either, but he couldn't die, and the sound of the audience was booming! Entered!

With a 3-point difference, there are still more than three minutes left, there is still a lot of hope for a comeback, everyone in the Raptors is jubilant, and Kyle is really reliable at the critical moment. The Cavaliers' lead was eroded, and James's whole person was full of gloom, and displeasure was written on his face.

In the next two rounds, both teams did not score, and the iron was banging. In the current situation, it is not so easy to score, the assistant defense is very active, the players on both sides are highly concentrated, everyone's physical fitness has reached a critical point, and there is more physical contact. It's all about willpower and individual ability, which explains why superstars can dominate the game at the last minute, and the value of their individual ability in the final moments is to help the team win. Whether it's scoring on your own or opening up space to create chances for your teammates.

With just over a minute to go, both sides were out of breath and staring blank, and they were fully engaged in the game. The coach has said everything he should have said, and it is not without talent that can turn things around at critical moments, but it is all based on the players, and their role is more like a leader.

The Cavaliers attack time, James is not blindly messing around, he stares closely at his teammates running, and then gestures, everyone pulls away, Ilgoskas pulls up to block the demolition, here it is! James rushed straight and went up, the Raptors contracted, James returned the ball, Ilgoskas shook it, and gave Hughes who was in the restricted area, and Kyle went to make up for it.

Hughes was a little in the middle distance, and Kyle reached out, but he didn't lift his heels. Then Hughes jumps again, and Kyle jumps this time. Kyle regretted it and was sad after flying! Hughes pressed his shoulders up, and with a bang, the ball flew out indiscriminately.

Whistle blows! Kyle graduated with six offenses.

After a lot of calculations, it ended up in Hughes's hands. Kyle shook his head and smiled bitterly, speechless, bitter in his heart. Slowly dragged off the field, at the last moment, I couldn't participate in it, only I had the best experience.

The fans booed again, and they still hated the brainless decisions made by the referee in front of them. The rest of the Raptors seemed to be nothing, but it was obvious that the spirit was gone, and the momentum was unloaded at once.

Hughes made one of two free throws, which relieved the Raptors a lot.

When the Raptors came back, they poured the ball back and forth, and in the end they didn't pour out a so-called, they played for a long time, and there were still four seconds left, and Bosh turned his back and threw strongly! Iron!

James broke through the penalty area, came to the basket and was beaten by everyone, strong! Pushed down hard by Bosh, then hugged the ball tightly, protected the ball, and then jumped up to throw the ball to his teammates, Tyrek quickly called a timeout.

The time starts to tell the second, and it has to be arranged.

Come back! Another reversal of the ball, running, at the last moment, Bosh came, facing Ilgoskas from outside the three-point line, suddenly retreating, and shooting three points! Middle!

The crowd shouted again! A one-point difference.

Brown called a timeout to make the final arrangements.

But the arrangement came and went, it was still James who came, pressed to the end, and broke through hard, people thought he was going to be strong, but at the last moment he passed, and Ilgoskas outside the three-point line received the ball, and there was no time, blindfolded! The ball spun and flew in!

There are still more than 30 seconds in the last 30 seconds, and the difference is 4 minutes.

Without Kyle in control, Calderon was pressed and grinded by the whole court, and there were still more than ten seconds to go to the top of the arc. There is no possibility of tactical execution, Bosh comes by himself, adjusts it, rushes, the effect is not good, halfway strong throw, iron!

Gooden grabbed the rebound, and the game was officially over.

In the end, the Raptors lost the game 98-104. Suffered three consecutive defeats. Why? Quite simply, the referee played a decisive role, and Kyle was outright wiped out by them. Sam is also gone, Barnes is also hacked, and the loss is a matter of course. But today's Raptors fans were impressive, and they reacted as the home team should have done to protest.
