Blatter's control over the Cavaliers was indeed a little inadequate.

Before coming to the Cavaliers, he was tasked with developing new players and reinventing the Cleveland Cavaliers' playbook and winning culture from the ground up.

With so much going on in the summer, the Cavaliers' goal quickly became a championship contence.

Blatter went from a team coach to a superstar nanny coach, which was certainly not easy for him.

James has always been a "bring-your-own" player, and he has a set of tactics that suit him best and can best play his role.

This is a big difference between James and Li Liang.

At the beginning, Blatter knew that Li Liang and James were coming, and he was still very happy.

In David Blatter's mind, Li Liang can definitely be a perfect team player.

Who knows that in the end, Li Liang ran away in exchange for Paul George, George is in the rising period of personal ability, and he will serve James in the whole team, and he doesn't care too much about the coach's many tactical arrangements.

The Cavaliers played so badly at the beginning of the season, mainly because of the run-in, and the focus of the run-in is whether the team plays around the coach's tactics, or around the ability and habits of the stars.

The answer is obvious, stars are the foundation of a team, and this is James.

In the first half, the Cavaliers and the Pacers were originally evenly divided, but because of the final substitution and the problem of defensive strategy, Li Liang came to a wave of scoring explosions, and the final halftime score was 59:50, and the Cavaliers fell behind by 9 points.

And Randle was educated several balls in a row by Li Liang in the more than two minutes he played, and when he came off the court at halftime, the whole person was numb.

It was really numb, and he was thrown two three-pointers in a row on his head, and he was stealed, and he was fouled.

Randle felt that he was on the court, and Li Liang was not in the same dimension, as if he was a player from two worlds.

He was in the two-dimensional world, and Li Liang was in the three-dimensional world, and he stepped on him as soon as he raised his foot.

Li Liang, this thing has been bullying Kentucky alumni in the league for not a day or two.

All kinds of coaxing and deception to Brother Thick Eyebrows, Cousins is to foul him, every time he plays Li Liang's team, Cousins doesn't eat a T or is sent off, and it feels like this game is in vain.

There are also Wall, Knight and others, who want to convene the Kentucky Alumni Training Camp again in the summer of 15, I'm afraid it won't be so easy.

The reputation stinks.

Randall is now also on the list of victims, and he has been cut eight points in just over two minutes, and the whole person is not good.

And Li Liang only thought about one thing at halftime, how to explain it to Zhu Shu at that time?

He takes this matter more seriously than the game itself.

No matter what, let's finish the game first, and then say that it is a collapse therapy.

It's a big deal to go home and kneel for a while durian, what can this be called?

……

The half-time break ended, and the second half began.

In the opening game, Li Liang and McGee made a double screen for George Hill, and then Hill returned the ball to Li Liang.

Li Liang made a mid-range jumper...... Didn't make ......

Li Liang is accurate in three points, but there is no three-point accuracy in the middle distance.

He wants to shoot accurately from mid-range, and he must use [Cassel's smile].

It's just that this skill can only be used at critical moments.

On the sidelines, Bird saw that Li Liang was not in the middle distance, and thought to himself that this product was still inferior to mine.

Then, James held the ball on the offensive end, dribbled to the corner position, and suddenly made a jump shot, but also missed.

The leaders on both sides started the third quarter with an iron, which seemed to indicate that neither side would score too much in the second half.

The Cavaliers' defense didn't do so well at the start of the season that they often lost by large margins, allowing opponents to score more than 110 points.

After running-in and adjustment, the Cavaliers' defensive system with Paul George as the core is gradually being built.

The biggest feature of the Cavaliers' defense, and what they have always done in the past, is that it is heavy.

The Cavaliers' starting lineup, inside Marsinmy and Thompson, is very protective under the basket.

James and George, two big forward players on the outside, are very pressing.

This is different from when James was in the Heat, the Heat's outside defense is extremely strong, but the reason is that their interior defense is very thin, and the outside line has to be strong.

The Cavaliers are different, the Cavaliers have a thick interior, which makes the Cavaliers' outside defense more resilient and consistent.

At the start of the third quarter, the Pacers' offense was lost under the Cavaliers' sudden increase in high-intensity defense.

Instead, the Cavaliers once again relied on Irving's knife to chase down points.

Now the Cavaliers are starting to make the most of the outside triumvirate's individual abilities on offense.

All kinds of pick-and-rolls, singles, are aimed at the Pacers' man-to-man defense.

And they pay a lot of attention when they fight - avoid Li Liang.

In order to prevent Li Liang's defense from playing a role, James also acted as a "bait" to lure Li Liang away.

Then pulled away to let George and Owen single.

The move worked well, and in the third quarter, the Cavaliers beat the Pacers 12-5.

Halfway through the third quarter, the scores were low, but the Cavaliers slowly made up the 9-point difference to only 2 points.

Bird called a timeout in the middle, but it didn't work very well.

Both Granger and J.R. Smith had a certain amount of disorientation on the offensive end, missing back-to-back three-point shots.

Not to mention Li Liang, he was heavily guarded, and it was very uncomfortable for Li Liang to be mobilized on the defensive end.

He would have liked to switch to Irving, who had scored eight points since the start of the third quarter.

But Owen just avoided Li Liang's fight, and it was McGee who came up on the switch, so he played small and big.

Without changing defenses, he rushed at George Hill with speed and dribbling.

Hill's effectiveness in defending Irving tonight was mediocre, and it felt like he wasn't very fit.

The score came to 64-62, and the Pacers still led by two points, and the game went into an official timeout.

In fact, the Cavaliers also feel that the game is difficult to play.

In the third quarter of the previous game, as long as the Cavaliers made a force on the defensive end, plus Irving, George, and James used their individual abilities on the offensive end to score consecutive points, the score could be pulled away quickly.

But although the Pacers were pressed step by step, they were able to maintain the advantage of two or three points, and the Cavaliers could not get out of the water.

Li Liang still hit a three-pointer under the strict defense of the knights.

Both sides feel that the opponent is strong and difficult to deal with.

Both sides need to grit their teeth and persevere.

The Cavaliers made a change, replacing Masimmi with Mozgov.

The adjustment worked quickly, James broke through the middle, Mozgov went down, James threw a high toss to Mozgov, and Mozgov scored a dunk in the air.

McGee came to make up for James, but Mozgov was missed.

But McGee can't be blamed, he doesn't come to make up for the defense, and James is a violent dunk when he kills the basket.

Li Liang still couldn't keep up with James.

The two sides played to a 64-64 draw.

Then, CJ Myers made a three-point shot on the left side, and the ball bounced twice on the basket, but unfortunately missed.

Li Liang struggled to grab the rebound in the frontcourt, but the ball was still obtained by the Cavaliers.

James held the ball, still the same number of roads as just now, and Mozgov came to block the dismantling in the middle.

Only this time Mozgov didn't go down and gave the basket to James.

James went to the basket to defend McGee, and made a violent dunk that separated people!

McGee was hit in the face by James, 64:66, and the Cavaliers overtook him!

It's a shame for any center to be blocked like that.

McGee's face was indignant, Li Liang came over and patted McGee, and asked, "Will you still choose to cooperate with the defense later?" ”

McGee nodded, "Of course." ”

"That's good."

Li Liang immediately returned the color on the offensive end, after he held the ball on the outside, he used the skills of [Ten Thousand Buddhas Dynasty] to directly worship Paul George, and threw it to McGee under the basket, McGee won the one-handed aerial relay split!

66:66, tie.

Immediately after, James also wanted to play the trick of high blocking and pick-and-roll for the third time.

This time, Li Liang stayed close to James after bypassing, and launched [Death Entanglement] the moment James hit the basket!

James stiffened, but because it started, he still protected the ball.

As a result, when he made a layup in the air, McGee, who was defended by the side, was slapped by a big hat!

CJ Myers got the ball and quickly counterattacked, Li Liang went down quickly in the middle and received a long pass from Miles.

A feint shakes off Paul George under the basket, another feint takes Mozgov away, and then turns and hits the ball to the ground to the follow-up McGee, McGee catches the ball and jumps, and dunks it with both hands!

McGee's continuous dunks, blocks, and dunks pushed the atmosphere of the Conseco Arena to a climax.

Li Liang and McGee high-fived vigorously, and McGee said to Li Liang: "Bruce, I have the answer to the question just now!" ”

"What?"

"You asked me if I would change the box, and I told you I wouldn't. I care how much I get, and if I choose, I'll stick to it. ”
