Coming off the bench
At the beginning of the game, Yao Ming and Durant entered the state, the two teamed up to give the Cavaliers a dismount, Yao Ming passed the ball to Durant, and the two came to an aerial relay on the inside, and after Durant dunked the basket, he high-fived Yao Ming and said that this scene can be said to have provoked LeBron's battle**.
The Cavaliers attacked, LeBron took Williams' pass and squeezed away the defense, his player used his body to rush into the basket like a bulldozer, and forced a layup under the basket, Yao Ming stepped forward to make up for the foul, although the ball did not go in, but it deceived Yao Ming to foul the player, Yao Ming was on the court and had a foul, which was not a good thing for the Thunder.
Coach Brooks glanced at the head coach of the Cavaliers thoughtfully, Chen Junhao sat on the court and observed the situation, and saw that James frowned at the inside line as soon as he came up, and James stood at the free throw line to prepare for the free throw, "brush"
Two clean shots were scored.
The Thunder team got the ball again, Wei Shao controlled the rhythm, Williams stepped forward to defend, Wei Shao was difficult to find a gap to break through by Williams, and passed the ball to Durant's hands, Durant was also difficult to shoot in the face of James's defense, and hoisted the ball to Yao Ming on the inside, and in the face of Gibson's defense Yao Ming easily made a small hook, and the ball obediently fell into the basket.
Offense and defense conversion, the ball passed to James's hands again, James recognized the inside line and forced a breakthrough, although this time it did not cause Yao Ming's foul, but it caused Ibaka's foul, the Thunder's two main players on the inside side carried a foul in less than two minutes of the game, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that the Cavaliers' tactics were aimed at the Thunder inside.
After the free throw was hit, Coach Brooks called a short timeout and told everyone to pay attention to the inside, especially Yao Ming and Ibaka try not to foul him, and let James go if he burst in, and don't have physical contact, because in the NBA "touch porcelain"
It's a very common occurrence for some All-Star players, as long as you have physical contact with the referee's whistle at any time.
Yao Ming and Ibaka were vigilant again, James still rushed inside, Durant who defended him was a cut behind James in strength and explosiveness, James broke through very easily, as soon as he arrived on the inside, James deliberately found Yao Ming, Yao Ming also learned smart this time, and dodged when James posted it, James didn't expect Yao Ming to retreat, and he lost his center of gravity for a while, but James, who was super strong, still sent the ball backhand into the basket, There was no foul, but the ball went in.
The Thunder team is still playing steadily, but sometimes it is really a depressing thing to not feel the hand, the Thunder team missed the opponent to seize the opportunity one after another, James led the Cavaliers to a fierce attack, the score instantly opened to double digits, and Yao Ming was fouled again, Coach Brooks quickly called a substitution to replace him, Yao Ming had already committed two fouls in the first quarter for 8 minutes, Coach Brooks had to replace him, although Yao Ming was very depressed, he still sat on the court according to the coach's instructions, When the fans were still depressed about Yao Ming's departure, a figure stood on the sidelines after a long absence, making everyone's eyes look over.
