Chapter 202: LeBron James and Keith Dambrot

Quick Loan Arena.

Intermission.

The sound system around the arena is playing passionate music, but it can't wake up the Cleveland die-hard fans sitting in the audience.

Their faces were sorrowful.

The Cavaliers are now trailing 39-45 and scored just 15 points in the second quarter.

However, this is not the reason why these fans are really sad, it doesn't matter if the Cavaliers lose or not, it's just a regular season game, and their current record is the first in the East! The point is, as long as LeBron plays well, then they can definitely continue to win.

That's the problem.

In the entire second quarter, LeBron only scored 4 points, and it all relied on free throws, if you don't count free throws, LeBron scored zero points in the second quarter!

Yi Jianlian could defend LeBron like this, who would have thought that this was special!

"In fact, any player will feel uncomfortable when facing Yi for the first time, so tall, so strong, and with such a movement speed, OMG, this is a monster!"

Cleveland's live commentary today is Mark Price, who was also a player in the Cavaliers in the 90s, and now occasionally returns to the sidelines as a commentator, and is now analyzing the reasons for LeBron's sudden slump in the second quarter: "LeBron's state is actually similar to his usual state, he can break through Yi and rush into the inside, he still has unstoppable power, but he can be pushed away by him, but he can still keep his long arms to cover LeBron, this is the most uncomfortable place for LeBron, he has to think about it now, How to play the half! ”

***

'In the second half we continued to give the ball to LeBron, we have to believe in him, he has done so many miracles, and tonight he was just a little bit out of form.

"All we have to do is believe in Him unconditionally!"

In the home locker room, Mike Brown is making the final moves before the second half.

The whole nonsense, just one central idea, is to give the ball to LeBron and let him solve all the problems.

In fact, this is also very understandable, who has a LeBron who doesn't give him the ball?

A team with LeBron only needs to know this tactic!

The rest of the people only need to shout 666 to him, and the rest don't care at all~

And this tactic also helped Mike Brown win his "Head Coach of the Year Award" this season in his previous life.

In the history of the Cavaliers, he is the only one other than Bill Feige.

That's why he's licking LeBron.

Of course, in line with the law of inertia of licking the dog until the last thing is left, after winning the "Head Coach of the Year Award", Mike Brown did nothing because he still followed the tactical concept of "give the ball to LeBron" in the Eastern Conference finals, resulting in the team failing to break out of the East and being kicked out by the Cavaliers management.

LeBron sat alone in front of his locker without saying a word, and he really didn't listen to what Mike Brown was saying.

In his mind, he remembered the fifth game of the Eastern Conference Finals in 07, in this "Battle of Tianwang Mountain", when he faced the former Eastern giants Pistons, he stood up at the most anxious time of the game, and scored 29 of the last 30 points of the Cavaliers, especially when he was the most anxious, he scored 25 points in a row, which was the total score of the Cavaliers during that period.

said that the Cavaliers were dragged by LeBron alone, and no one can object!

Even the meanest fans......

"I should also admit my strength!"

Now all I have to do is get back that feeling at that moment!

"I'm not in a slump, I'm still playing the same way I used to, now all I have to do is keep playing the way I do, I'm OK!"

LeBron kept repeating these words in his mind, believing that as long as he was given time, he would be able to break through Yi Jianlian's defense and score those balls.

He could do it in the '07 Eastern Conference Finals, and he can do it now!

"Hey, LeBron!"

No sooner had he stepped out of the tunnel than LeBron heard someone shouting his name.

Do you want my autograph again?

This is also a perk of sitting in the audience next to the players' tunnel, which LeBron would have been satisfied with in the past, but he didn't play well in the first half today, so he was not in the mood to do these things.

"Hey, LeBron!"

But the voice didn't stop, LeBron had to turn back, but after seeing the fan clearly, he was stunned: "Coach Keith? ”

Keith Dam Bullock, LeBron's high school head coach, in LeBron's heart, without this mentor, he would not be where he is now, and he still has a lot of respect for the former.

It's just that he really didn't expect that this fan who has been shouting him will be his old mentor, and he actually came to watch the game today.

"Why don't you tell me?"

Thinking of his poor performance in the first half, LeBron was a little annoyed, knowing that his mentor was coming, and he should have performed better.

Keith didn't have any extra nonsense, letting LeBron know that he came to watch the game today was not the real reason why he shouted LeBron: "LeBron, you have to believe in your teammates, you have a group of very good companions, and you shouldn't just indulge in individual shots, basketball is a game of five people, your talent is not just in individual offense, in the second half I hope to see the real you, play a game that is completely LeBron James!" ”

The old teacher's words made LeBron stunned, his own thoughts can be said to be completely opposite to Keith, but he has to admit that maybe he himself is too sharp.

Oh, yes!

He's LeBron James, and his talent isn't just on offense.

He only thought that he contributed the last 25 points of the team in the '07 Eastern Conference Finals, but he shouldn't forget that he didn't have all the good and still won a lot of games by himself before he got there!

You can't just believe in yourself just because your singles work at a critical time......

LeBron gave Keith a thumbs up and walked to the Cavaliers' bench without saying a word, making final preparations for the start of the second half.

Keith thanked the fans next to him with a look of relief and returned to his seat, where he had been waiting for LeBron at the players' tunnel.

LeBron's obsession with his offensive style of breaking through with the ball in the first half made him frown again and again, he knew LeBron's talent, this should not be the performance he should have!

He needs someone to help him and find the style of play that really suits him.

In his opinion, Mike Brown obviously didn't dare to say this, and the old man had to come by himself.

"Toot!"

The second half of the game begins.

Mo Williams snatched one, missed!

Big Z protected the rebound and gave the ball to Dronte West, who dribbled to the front court and handed it to LeBron.

The audience couldn't help but breathe half a beat slower at this time.

They are all concerned about whether LeBron James, who was sluggish in the first half, will be able to get back to form after his first goal after returning!

LeBron did not break through with the ball as before, but calmly observed the movement of his teammates, and then broke through along Yi Jianlian's right side. At the first time he entered the inner line, he still squeezed Yi Jianlian away, but he didn't attack by himself, and handed a hand to Da Z standing next to him, who hooked his hand to score.
