Chapter 321: Biao (Addition)
LeBron scored seven straight points, but he didn't stop his rampage, and before the end of the first quarter, he scored four more points to lead the Cavaliers by one point at 29-28 into the second quarter.
LeBron, who didn't score a point in the first six minutes or so, went completely crazy in the last six minutes of the first quarter, scoring 11 points in a row.
Yi Jianlian also scored 10 points, of which 7 points were scored in the first six minutes, and 3 points were scored after returning from a timeout, but this three-point shot was the response ball given by Yi Jianlian after LeBron directly hit three points, and it was also this three-point shot that slowed down LeBron's momentum, otherwise, the Cavaliers would have only opened up a one-point difference.
***
At the start of the second quarter, both teams took the bench first.
The Bucks are known in the league for their strong bench lineup this season, and many times they have relied on the strength of the bench to further widen the difference, with Crawford and TyGibson being the backbone of the Bucks' bench.
But today's stalwarts failed to widen the gap for the team as in the past.
The Cavaliers' current bench lineup is also not to be underestimated, with Vallejo, Moon and Jamison, all of which are almost ready to make up a bad starting lineup.
Speaking of which, it's no wonder that LeBron will choose to leave Cleveland, he can't enter the finals even after this lineup, and he doesn't know how to upgrade if he wants to upgrade in the summer, there is really no other way but to go!
In front of the Cavaliers' such a powerful bench lineup, the Bucks' bench lineup was somewhat insufficient, and the point difference was further widened by the Cavaliers to 4 points.
Xiao K had no choice but to put Yi Jianlian back on the field in advance.
"It's been a long time since I've seen it, and Yi actually played early!"
Since the Bucks' injuries have recovered one by one, and the Bucks' lineup has regained its depth, Yi Jianlian's rest time when he rotated on the second team has gradually become longer.
This is the first time in these days that Yi Jianlian was brought on the court after just a three-minute break.
This shows how much pressure the Cavaliers' bench puts on the Bucks' bench.
As soon as Mike Brown saw Yi Jianlian playing, he immediately put LeBron on the court, he did not let LeBron rest for a while because the score on the court was leading, his thoughts had nothing to do with the score, as long as the opponent was on the main force, he had to replace LeBron James on the court unconditionally.
As long as there are still problems on the court, then LeBron must be on the court!
This is Mike Brown's "LeBron Instruction Manual", and it is also the instruction manual used by the later N LeBron head coach, anyway, it would be right to die Cao LeBron.
In the 05~06 season, LeBron James played an exaggerated 46.5 minutes per game in 13 playoff games, which means that the average rest time per game is less than 2 minutes.
As of 18 years, in the playoffs of LeBron's entire career, there have been 11 seasons in which he has averaged more than 40 minutes per game in the playoffs, and the remaining two seasons that have played less than 40 minutes per game have also been as high as 38.2 minutes and 39.3 minutes respectively.
After reading this data, I am afraid that no matter how much you look at LeBron, fans who are not pleasing to the eye will sigh from the heart: This body is really special and resistant to CAO!
As far as his playing time is concerned, he has been scrapped a few times earlier if he is replaced by other stars, and if he is replaced by Greg Oden, I am afraid that he will have to be scrapped once a year.
Every year, he is the player who plays the most minutes on the team, and just to say this, LeBron James is worthy of the word great!
Yi Jianlian also strengthened his offensive momentum in the second quarter, attacking with the ball and hitting a layup, even if LeBron came up in the next round, he did not stop attacking.
Call in Tygibson to help make a pick-and-roll.
This time, it really made Tygibson do a block, Yi Jianlian dribbled the ball to his side for half a circle, and didn't look at where LeBron was, and made a jumper.
"Huh!"
The ball goes straight into the basket.
He scored 4 points when he came up, and the 4 points that the Bucks trailed were erased in an instant.
As soon as LeBron saw that Yi Jianlian began to score points, he immediately entered the rhythm of the offense.
Like Yi Jianlian, he also called people to come up to help with the blocking, Yi Jianlian has Ty Gibson, and LeBron has Vallejo.
"Queen" Vallejo ushered in an explosion this season, averaging 8.6 points and 7.6 rebounds per game, especially if he catches up with the later NBA, then he is the "Eight Sages and Kings", and he can also get a contract of 80 million.
And, to be honest, Vallejo's role in this period is much greater than Thompson's, and he is a first-class rim protector in the league, and at the same time, there are many roles that cannot be reflected in the statistics on the defensive end, which can be seen from his other nickname "Actor".
This is a player who plays with his brain.
The quality of the blocking and dismantling made by the guy with a high ball quotient is also high, LeBron circled around him, and threw Yi Jianlian away, and then dribbled, holding the ball with both hands and taking four big steps, no, three, no, no, well, hit the layup!
βyesοΌβ
LeBron scored a layup and clenched his fist hard.
The referee next to him hesitated, wanted to blow but didn't dare to blow, this hesitation, even the chance to blow was gone.
Forget it, such a coherent walk can't be called a walk.
The difference was once again stretched by 2 points.
Yi Jianlian held the ball, this time he did not call a block, but started with his signature move, and after a half-turn in a row, he brought LeBron to a high position, used his feet to kill the inside line, and hit the board with a hook hand.
The score was equalized again.
LeBron received the ball in the backcourt, slowly dribbled to the frontcourt, and while crossing the midline, as if he had found something, he accelerated directly, bypassed Yi Jianlian, who was pressing, and actually entered the inside line unimpeded, and successfully scored two more points with one hand.
Yi Jianlian glanced back, Bogut, who was supposed to be under the basket, only walked past Valejo at this time, and he should have been delayed by Vallejo just now, and LeBron suddenly accelerated when he saw this scene.
This is the role that Vallejo can't show with data, and I really have to say, if it weren't for the injury, there really wouldn't be anything about Thompson later.
Yi Jianlian also changed the way of attacking this time, when Mo Williams dribbled into the front court, he did not go up to catch the ball, but began to run without the ball.
LeBron had to follow him closely, and at the same time command his teammates to be ready to make up for the defense at any time, no way, Yi Jianlian said that he was 2.13 meters tall, but his flexibility was no worse than that of an ordinary small forward, or even better, plus this guy's pace was too big, LeBron was barely able to keep up with Yi Jianlian, who was running fast.
"Huh!"
A few reverse runs without the ball, Channing Fry made a delay for him at the end at the signal of Yi Jianlian, Yi Jianlian successfully vacated the vacant space, and the waiting Mo Williams passed the ball to him, and Yi Jianlian made a three-point shot in the empty position.
One point ahead!
β¦β¦
In the second quarter, the game fell into a confrontation between Yi Jianlian and LeBron, and the score also rose alternately, and the Bucks temporarily led by 2 points at 57-55 at halftime.
