Chapter Eighty-Nine: Script Reversal
James is the league's best actor.
From the moment he entered the league, he grew into a superstar step by step, just like the script arranged.
There is no negative news, and the exposure rate remains high, far exceeding the likes of Anthony, Wade and Bosh in the same period.
If it weren't for winning the championship, Wade wouldn't have been able to keep up with James, who is undoubtedly the first person in the 03 session, recognized.
Now against the 76ers led by Iverson, the Cavaliers also feel like they want to win.
They all feel that the opposing head coach Wang will become an undercover agent for the Cavaliers tomorrow.
However.......
In the middle of the first quarter, the situation took a turn for the worse.
Just after the Knights got off to a perfect start, the scene was different from the script.
James continued to split the ball, but the line was seen through by Iverson, who made a flying steal and cut off James' pass to Larry Hughes.
Iverson raced to the front and scored quickly.
Then, James failed to force a burst and turned to Larry Hughes to hold the ball.
Larry Hughes holds the ball inside, turns past Allen Iverson and throws his shot in an irregular position.
missed, and the rebound was taken by Damham Porter.
Aggro!
A pass was handed to Iverson, and in the transition between offense and defense, Iverson advanced rapidly.
The second pass was handed to the empty cut of Iguodala, who also made a brutal breakthrough, occasionally causing a foul on the defending James.
The 76ers continued to defend the Cavaliers, not only to improve morale, but also to play the fast offense that they are good at.
"What's going on?"
Mike Brown was furious, and the Cavaliers' on-court performance made him very unhappy.
So just two misses, Mike Brown took the initiative to call a timeout.
Wang stood up tomorrow and high-fived the players who came off the field one by one.
"Well done, Aaron."
"Well done, guys!"
Wang mentioned Iverson's name alone.
Iverson is the fundamental factor in the transformation of the 76ers on the court, and it can even be said that Iverson's help defense makes him feel like he is shining.
With super lateral movement and superhuman ability to break the ball.
Once Iverson can read the opponent's offense on the court, it is equivalent to ambushing the sharpest knife in the 76ers' net formation.
On the other hand, James felt helpless.
He felt that the 76ers' defense was like layers of sponges, and he rushed inside with all his might, but he couldn't break through the defensive formation they had set up.
And now, he's out the ball.
When a teammate catches the ball, he can't complete the offense, and he can't score points!
The 76ers constantly contracted the bag and then expanded the defense, which consumed a lot of physical strength, but the effect gradually became apparent.
Mike Brown made an important point in this timeout.
"LeBron, you have to step up and score!"
Mike Brown said: "It's like this in the playoffs, they can put a lot of defensive difficulties on you, but then you have to overcome them, and the bag is also an opportunity for you, you have to play aggressively, make fouls, and get kills. ”
From Mike Brown's point of view, James hasn't done enough.
There are two options when it comes to the bag, one is to pass the ball, and the other is to face the difficulties, passing the ball is the most reasonable choice, but the game may not be 100% reasonable to win.
At critical moments, the unreasonableness of the stars is needed.
Mike Brown is determined to leave the team up to James.
James' eyes widened in awe, and he already understood what the head coach of the team meant.
......
Wang rotated tomorrow.
Paul Millsap replaces Andre Iguodala.
Defending the young and strong James, Iguodala consumed a lot of physical energy, and Wang intended to let Iguodala dominate the second team tomorrow for the game, so he replaced Millsap in advance.
James frowned, saw this PF who was about his height, and walked up to him.
than Iguodala, prefers to use the body to fight.
Millsap is slightly slower than Iguodala, but the disadvantage is almost negligible, and importantly, he weighs enough to compete with James.
The 76ers' insidious wheel battle finally showed its dangerous fangs.
When James came on the court, he just wanted to play one of his own.
found that the opponent's confrontation was particularly good, and hitting him was like hitting a stake.
"Bang!"
Chisel inward, Saflosa assists in the defense.
James turned inward, broke through the strong attack, couldn't push under the basket, felt that there were hands on all sides, he gritted his teeth, and this time he chose to shoot unreasonably.
Mid-range strong shots.
"Bell~"
missed the shot, James's heart trembled, and the Cavaliers missed the third offense!
"Smack!"
The strong Millsap turned around and grabbed the short rebound, clasped his hands together, firmly grasped the ball in his hands, and then set up his elbow, and he didn't know where he learned the ball protection skills.
"Carl Malone, who is especially like Jazz." Moses Malone shook his head with a wry smile, he didn't teach Millsap these things, these are all things that Millsap found out by himself when he was learning videos, and according to the player's liking, Moses Malone found that Millsap especially likes the style of Jazz.
Confrontation, small actions, black hands, crazy rebounding......
The 76ers players are becoming more and more comfortable with James' bag, and everyone has a clear division of labor and makes this a top priority.
James complained bitterly, and his shooting percentage became lower and lower.
He didn't have a high shooting percentage in the first game, but this one is good, and he has made 0 of 4 shots so far, and it hasn't opened yet.
From the middle of the first quarter, the 76ers counterattacked, immediately tied the difference between the two teams, and overtook them.
In the stadium of the Quick Loan Center, there was silence, and the fans sat on their chairs.
Like the Cavaliers, whose morale has fallen to a low point, listless.
"How so?"
No one expected that the script would reverse so quickly.
.......
"Suddenly I can't vote, and I don't dare to vote, the more I don't dare to vote, the more I can't vote, a vicious circle!" Wang Mingming felt that the Cavaliers were so easy to fall into the trap of the trap tactics, and the head coach had to take a lot of responsibility.
Mike Brown will only be a traditional pick-and-roll and a blind emphasis on defense.
If there were a few more shooters on the perimeter, James wouldn't have played so hard.
But generally speaking, the shooters don't have a very good defense, like their Gibson, the 76ers' Korver.
The player who can shoot and defend is the most suitable player for James.
It's a pity that the knights haven't realized this yet, and they watch the score difference continue to widen.
James didn't rely on the air cut until the end of the first quarter to rush into the interior and complete a wonderful flying dunk, and his head almost hit the rebound.
The dunk is very good-looking, and the five best balls are estimated to be unable to run.
But look at the score.
The Cavaliers are 17-28, 11 points behind the 76ers.
