1193. There Are a Hundred Ways to Prevent You from Killing You (Part II)
Liu Mang and Maddy directly let go of Snow and Larry Hughes, Prince, Kwame Brown, and Rasheed Wallace contracted the basket, and defended Gooden and Big Z mid-range shots and Larry Hughes's air cut.
James was caught by Liu Mang on the left and right! One step outside the free throw line This embarrassing distance, two free throws and one elite of human beings is even a problem for free throws, let alone mid-range shots?
The other party is cheating!
James is lucky, the other party doesn't steal, he doesn't break through the other party and doesn't give too much physical pressure, just like that, the two block him, James is like that, he wants to cross, Larry Hughes was stuck by Prince when he went in, Snow who wanted to pass to the bottom line and Larry Hughes who ran out of the bottom line, Big Z and Gooden blocked their teammates' receiving routes on both sides, and with 5 seconds left, James finally passed the ball and passed it to Snow who ran out to the high post, Snow received the ball and shot in the middle......
Snow's mid-range shooting rate from the bottom line is as high as 43 percent, but not in the high position, throwing it out and hitting the neck of the basket, Liu Mang retracted the basket and grabbed the defensive rebound!
Liu Mang's side shrank after James' pass, and Maddie's side immediately went down after James's pass!
After Liu Mang grabbed the defensive rebound, he hoisted the ball to the front court, leading people with the ball, Maddie just arrived at the opposite three-point line and just received the ball, took three steps, and scored two points with a light dunk with one hand.
The action is very chic, like an elf floating in the air, among the players above two meters, who can compare with Maddy, only Anfernee Hardaway, who was cut by the Knicks after this season, has a maximum salary of one year.
James felt the malice of the world, silently ran back to Snow to serve, and after advancing over, it was still Prince who was defending him, and when he met Prince's defense in the last round, James was still very excited, and now he calmed down, only to see the opponent's defensive formation, and the basket was like an iron bucket!
The two teammates only have a certain mid-range shooting ability, and it's just that Snow has a baseline mid-range shot, Larry Hughes didn't shoot at all, Larry Hughes didn't practice, but the limit of his talent was there, the poor version of James on the offensive end, the defense was top-notch, but the shooting was worse than James, and James had a three-point shooting rate of more than 30 percent since the second grade.
James saw the Hawks' defense and hesitated.
In addition to breaking through, he has a move to step back and step back for three points, which is useless to Prince at all, and it may be better to beat Maddie, but relying on technique to beat Prince, Kobe Bryant and Pierce are very stressful.
And there is a wall in the middle distance, and James has a keen ball quotient, knowing that as long as he is strong, that wall will come out immediately.
Sometimes a person with too high ball intelligence and too good judgment on defense is also a problem, especially someone as indecisive as James is starting to hesitate now.
The Hawks used the same way the Spurs defended the Heat Big Three in the Finals seven years later!
And because the Cavaliers roster is so much worse than the Heat Big Three, the Hawks' defense has become simpler, more direct, and more effective!
Prevent James from three points, put him in the middle of the shot, hit the free throw line from the inside distance, put Snow and Larry Hughes on the outside to shoot high, and the baseline shot The Cavaliers' own formation blocked James' route to the bottom line in the high post, the Cavaliers have a baseline tactic, but that is after James breaks through the inside line, he passes the bottom line, not this kind of direct pass in the high post.
James began to hesitate again, and after a while, he passed to Larry Hughes, who received the ball with only 8 seconds left, and rushed towards the basket, and under Maddie's sticky defense, he threw the iron!
Rashid Wallace guards defensive rebounds!
The Eagles fight back!
This time, the Cavaliers reacted quickly, and after James passed the ball to Larry Hughes in the top arc, he immediately retreated when he saw Larry Hughes hitting the iron, and Larry Hughes and Snow also quickly retreated.
Liu Mang received a pass from Rashid Wallace and rushed to the frontcourt, and the Cavaliers crossed the halfway line first.
Liu Mang didn't slow down, rushed into the basket, attracted the defense and passed to Maddie who followed up, the Cavaliers defended three and two, blocking Liu Mang and Maddie's counterattack, but there was still a Kwame Brown in the middle!
Maddie hoisted the ball into the air, and Kwame Brown jumped up inside the free throw line, flew towards the basket, received the ball in the air with both hands, and pressed the ball into the basket!
The Kwame-Brown positional battle was eaten to death by Big Z's huge size, or the jumping center, which is not difficult for Big Z to defend, but Kwame Brown runs, and the Cavaliers can't do anything.
Due to the loss of rebounding, the Cavaliers need to play a success rate, and now they can't guarantee a success rate!
At the beginning, James scored one, and the TV commentator thought that James would play well today, but just one ball, after that goal, the Cavaliers' offense suddenly collapsed.
It's not right to say that the game has just begun, and the Cavaliers feel like a college team facing an NBA team, and they don't know how to play!
The focus is on their core, and they don't know how to solve the problem at hand!
Compared with the Heat's Big Three, the outside combination of the Cavaliers is close to the poor version of Janway and Chalmers, but the poor version is even worse.
Wade still has a mid-range shot, especially Wade after a major injury, and after a major injury, Wade's explosive speed has plummeted, which is a pity, from the strongest first step to one of the strongest first steps, but the mid-range shot is very accurate, and Larry Hughes did not have a mid-range shot.
Snow does have a certain shooting ability, shooting 39 percent in his career, and the shooting percentage is top-notch, but who cares about a defensive point guard who averages 6 points per game......
Even if Snow is 33 years old, the player who was once selected for the All-Defensive Team is much better defensively than Mario Chalmers and Norris Cole, but on the offensive end, he is not even as good as Norris Cole.
In the next 3 minutes, the Cavaliers' offense was like constipation, and they couldn't squeeze it out, and the Hawks opened 5 minutes with 7 shots and 5 shots, hitting a wave of 12-2!
The Cavaliers except for James, who scored two points at the beginning, was completely blind behind, James shot a mid-range shot, iron, a three-pointer from the outside against Prince's defense, and hit a rebound, Snow and Larry Hughes shot iron.
In the opening game, the Cavaliers shot 1 of 6 and scored only two points!
The Cavaliers call a timeout!
……
The effect is so good! Too good to be true!
Maddie looked at James just like Liu Mang said, he would hesitate, and the other party really hesitated to play with the ball, and was horrified by Liu Mang's ability to grasp the opponent's mentality.
Maddie thinks that before she came to the Eagles, every time she met the Eagles, she felt powerless, and now she thinks about what she went through......
Seeing that the other party was in a hurry but didn't know what to do, Maddie felt sorry for this fellow high school student.
Compared to the confused state of the Cavaliers, the morale of the Hawks is high!
Although the rhythm is not very comfortable, the opponent's offensive decisions in each round are very hesitant and grinding, and almost every attack consumes more than 20 seconds, but the start is ahead!
The first round lost in the first round, and the Eagles didn't want to lose a game in the second round!
If it was the first two seasons, each time they swept the opponent and waited for the next round of opponents, the Eagles players waited so much, but this season is not the same, this season the Eagles players would like to have two more days off, although they are still young overall, but the past few years have been too long, most teams have six months off a year, they have four months off a year.
……
After returning from the timeout, both teams made personnel changes, Morninging replaced Kwame Brown on the Hawks' side, Rasheed Wallace and Mourning partnered on the inside, there was no adjustment on the outside, and it was also hard work with the big Z card position, and Mourning and Kwame Brown took turns.
On the Cavaliers' side, James, Larry Hughes, Big Z, and Gooden remained on the court, and Snow was replaced with Damon Jones.
Snow was replaced by Damon, who has good three-point ability, and the Cavaliers' substitutions were very targeted, and Snow couldn't shoot when he was empty, so he was replaced by Damon Jones, who has three-point ability.
The Cavaliers' idea was good, but when the game restarted, it didn't work out well.
The Cavaliers just made Liu Mang's defense a little more tired, and they had to save Damon Jones after the pinch shot.
And Damon Jones did not have the magic three-point accuracy of last season, Damon Jones in last season's contract year averaged 2.7 three-pointers per game and averaged 12 points and 4 assists per game in the Heat After cheating from the Cavaliers to a 4-year 18 million full middle class, this season he averaged 6 points per game, the number of three-point shots fell to 1.4 per game, and the three-point shooting rate fell to 36%.
When the Hawks were on the court with Maddy and Prince, Liu Mang's role was to quickly change defenses and defend the pitcher, just to restrain the personnel adjustments made by the Cavaliers.
Fighting, the Cavaliers can only use the worst solution.
James and Larry Hughes began to take turns holding the ball and breaking through to force an inside ......
Popovich is too good at dealing with James, and in the 13-14 Finals eight years later, it was difficult to prevent the Heat team, which was already fast-paced and offensive, from scoring less than 100 points in all five games of the Finals, or even over 90.
If there is a peak Jane, you can still think of a way, for example, in the 2013 finals, they were at least 2-3 behind in the first five games, but now James, who is so tender that his hairline has not yet reached the level of secretly going for a hair transplant, played a quarter and was forced to start the inefficient play of holding the explosive bag to the inner line.
By halftime, the Cavaliers were already trailing by 20 points, 35-55!
With 12 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists in the half, James' own statistics are always good, because he always has the ball in his hands and his strength is really strong.
But James doesn't have the slightest hope of winning!
James began to doubt life, how could there always be a way to prevent him? He felt that the other party could target him in 10,000 ways!
