Chapter Eighty-Four: Difficult
The Cavaliers attacked, and James held the ball from beyond the three-point line.
Iguodala followed the defensive task assigned by Wang Tomorrow, shrunk a step and spread his arms.
Iguodala is the main force of LeBron James's defense in this round hand-picked by Wang tomorrow, and the third-year Iguodala has shown excellent defensive ability, super long arm span and positive defensive attitude, allowing him to complete an average of 2 steals per game in the past season, which is a defensive nightmare from the No. 1 to the No. 3 position.
"Can you prevent it?"
Randy Ayes pinched his sweat.
He is worried about Iguodala, James is already a recognized superstar in the league, in the fourth season of his career, averaging 27.3 points, 6.7 rebounds and 6.0 assists per game, and has become the strongest in the world at the small forward position.
The two on the field were dull, and there was no garbage conversation.
James three threatens to hold the ball.
Drew Goodon came up to block James.
"Don't change!"
Iguoda made a gesture with her hand stretched.
Then switch defenses with Al Harrington and chase LeBron James.
James leaned over to accelerate, held the ball in his right hand, and strode in.
After blocking, James bent his arm to block and advance, like a bulldozer, bursting with amazing power.
"Bang!"
Iguodala struggled to pull away, and James made a second back-to-back effort to bounce some space.
"Smack!"
He dribbled on the ground and kept up, this time he had gained a position advantage, and flew directly in three steps.
"Very simple and straightforward one-block break tactics. Switching defenses gave James the distance and space to sprint, and after the start, Andre Iguodala was difficult to defend! ”
Barkley has a strong angle to see the ball and has discovered the mystery of James' breakthrough.
Inside, James who flew in the air had no one to stop, and Hellam Porter was slow to help defend, and at the beginning of the game, he was unwilling to carry a foul, so the ball was fouled.
James "clanged" and smashed the ball into the basket.
2 to 0.
The Quick Loan Center let out a monstrous cheer.
The sound continues to hit the eardrums of the 76ers, and the hot playoff atmosphere can be seen.
The 76ers attacked.
After the Cavaliers got up for the first time, the players were very active defensively.
Larry Hughes is tall and has long arms, and with the right defense, he should be closer to Iverson.
But at the moment, he is also enthusiastic, very motivated, not afraid of being passed by Iverson, the two are very close to each other, and the cowhide defense is close to Iverson and puts pressure on him to dribble.
"呲~"
Iverson pulled back the dribble, and the shoe made a loud rub on the floor.
Larry Hughes was clearly shaken so hard that he almost fell.
But with a palm of his hand, he still stubbornly followed.
Iverson passes the ball to Andre Iguodala who tries to cut in the air.
Iguodala went on a second break, and Al Harington pulled out a three-point jumper from the three-point line.
After playing one season, Al Harrington has almost become a regular high gun for the 76ers, shooting 46.7 percent from three-point range after receiving the ball, which is higher than Kyle Korver.
But this goal, Gooden defended it very well.
The Cavaliers had clearly set up before the game, and Gooden didn't let their guard down because Harrington was away from the box.
"Bell!"
The basketball still pops out of the frame.
In the main position of the big Z card, James flew in to protect the rebounding ball in the backcourt.
Turning, the knight in turn accelerated.
The Cavaliers are a traditional team with a slow offensive tempo, and after James advanced through the half, he found that his teammates were running slowly and unhurriedly.
Then another wave of pick-and-roll offense, Larry Hughes made a mid-range pull-up jump shot and scored!
4 to 0.
After two rounds, Wang Mingming found that the Cavaliers were indeed much stronger than the Raptors.
Especially with the home-court advantage bonus, the player's state, tactical execution, and motivation are all significantly different from the Raptors.
Even role players such as Gooden and Larry Hughes have played brilliantly on the court.
76 people.
Experiencing the toughest start to the playoffs.
At 11-3, the Cavaliers opened with an eight-point lead.
During this time, the king has already called a timeout.
"If the 76ers play like this, I'm afraid they are going to lose, and the rhythm is completely on the Cavaliers' side." Barkley is once again downplaying the 76ers, and the result he believes will be re-bet.
On the field, Iverson receives the ball in the elbow area.
The Cavaliers stuck to one-on-one, Larry Hughes' good defense worked, and Iverson didn't play well before.
And, crucially, didn't find the feeling of the game.
In this wave of offense, he crossed past Larry Hughes, and in a group of people who surrounded the blockers, Iverson pulled the lever low and hit the board from a tight angle.
"Hit!"
The Philadelphia media breathed a sigh of relief, if the 76ers don't go in again, the game will really be cold.
This is equivalent to solving the 76ers' urgent need on the offensive end.
5 to 11.
Larry Hughes missed a layup, Gooden pressed Al Harrington to grab the rebound, and the layup caused Al Harrington to foul.
Gooden hit both free throws.
Wang shook his head, Al Harrington's rebounding disadvantage was magnified in the playoffs, especially against a team like the Cavaliers, and when James formed a breakthrough, the Cavaliers had a lot of other players who could rush to grab rebounds.
The original Boozer, and now Gooden, are almost all players of the same style.
Cavaliers fans can't see this, they just think that Drew Gooden is particularly good today, and he blew up Al Harrington, who has much better regular season statistics than him.
Wang Ming stood up and made a gesture to expand the scope of the attack.
Iguodala, who was in possession of the ball, understood, stretched out his fingers, and commanded.
The 76ers began to make complicated moves, Iguodala moved to the top of the arc, and the basketball crossed to Iverson who pocketed the ball to the baseline.
On the wings, Al Harrington and Dyrem Porter form a double pick-and-roll.
Two thick walls covered, Iguodala's withdrawal took away James, who was excellent in defense, Iverson cut in the middle of the dribble, and the two after the dismantling, one went down and the other evacuated around the pile.
Iverson scored a point outside and took advantage of Harrington, who was covering the open space, to catch the ball.
45 degrees, three-point shot!
"Hit!"
The fifth and fourth positions also formed cross-covers, and while Iverson was blocked, Harrington and Dareham Porter quietly swapped positions.
Big Z couldn't save, and Harrington easily hit the 76ers' first three-pointer of the game.
8-13, the 76ers trailed by five points.
Somewhat dissatisfied with the team's defense just now, James spread his hands and pointed to the place where Al Harrington had just shot a three-pointer.
"Hey, you can't let him go, this guy is actually a small forward even though he has the name of a power forward, just like Stephen Jackson of the Golden State Warriors, if he shoots away, our game will be very difficult!"
