Chapter 395: Let One James (2/4!) )
Tang Tian's reminder didn't work.
Bogans was like a fly, buzzing in James' ears.
The resentment that James finally held back was rekindled by all his brains.
The Cavaliers' offense, James directly singled out Bogans, bumped into the opponent, and was whistled by the referee for an offensive foul.
Rose scored a goal, and in turn James also played Bogans, this time successfully squeezed through, but Noah and Boozer shrank the basket for the first time, and James's strong upper was interfered with.
The Bulls hit Deng's three-pointer on a fast break, and the score was tied again.
James was still complaining to the referee about the hitter at the back at this time.
Tang Tian saw this and knew that it would be difficult for James to adjust his mood tonight.
He turned around and called Barnes up.
Paul's breakthrough resulted in a blocking foul on Noah and the game went to a dead ball.
Barnes came on for James.
This substitution came very early, and the fans at the scene didn't understand it.
James also had a tense face when he came off the court.
The game continued on the court, and after James went off the court, the Cavaliers' offense revolved more around Paul and Yao Ming.
There is still no solution to the blocking, but because the independent offensive ability of Barnes and Artest on the front line is relatively average, the Bulls can also put more defensive focus on the two.
The Cavaliers' offensive efficiency has slipped a bit.
On the Bulls' side, Rose and Deng were very hot in the second half, and Boozer also scored frequently after he reappeared.
The two teams started with a break in the third quarter and continued until the second half of the fourth quarter, and the score was scorching.
Going into the final two minutes, the Cavaliers took a timeout.
"On the offensive end, Yao and Chris play a little more, the success rate is played, and the defensive end is one-on-one, now everyone's physical strength is very exertional, it is very important to score a goal or defend the next round, hold on!" Tang Tian shouted loudly to the team members.
When the playoffs come to this point, it's more about who can grit their teeth to the end.
After the pause, the game continued, and the score on the field was 111 draws.
The fans at the scene were also extremely nervous.
It was the Cavaliers' most scorching play since they entered the playoffs.
At this moment, many fans noticed that James was still wearing training clothes, sitting on the bench, and biting his nails there with blank eyes.
Since being replaced by Tang Tian in the first half of the third quarter, he has not been substituted again.
He sat on the bench for more than a section!
And in the end, the crucial two minutes will not be given!
Judging by James' expression and physical condition, he has no problem.
This should be Tang Tian's decision.
Tang Tian actually let James sit on the cold bench!
For the first time in my career!
Regardless of how the game ends, the media will probably have a lot of news to write after the game.
Paul looked for Artest's block in the front court, disassembled it and rushed straight to the basket, attracted the bag and then put the ball to the basket.
Yao Mingren is tall and big, and after receiving the ball sideways, he directly hit a high board.
Noah is a standard center, but he can't jump at all.
The shot point is too high!
The ball hits the board and sits firmly into the frame.
The Cavaliers take the lead.
Tang Tian nodded with satisfaction at this time.
At the beginning of the season, when discussing tactics with the coaching staff, he came up with a core idea that Paul should be more determined by the tactical choices on the court.
Just now, when the Bulls focused on defending Paul and Yao Ming's blocking, Paul switched to Artest's blocking, but the ball finally went to Yao Ming's hands.
That's what top point guards can make depending on the situation on the court.
The Bulls' offense, Rose and Boozer's blocking, after the ball was dismantled, Boozer was given to Boozer, who leaned on Artest and chose to lean his back and lean back.
Artest is not James, he can top but can't jump.
"Huh!"
The ball crossed the high parabolic and hit.
There was a stirring at the scene, and many people looked at James on the bench.
Tang Tian turned around and walked to the bench at this time, but it was not called James, but Rasheed Wallace.
Paul's breakaway after a single block caused Rose to hit the free-throw line.
Wallace came on to replace Barnes.
Paul hit both free throws and the Cavaliers continued to take the lead.
The game came to the last minute.
A difference of 2 points.
At this time, the fans also took their eyes back from James and put them on the court.
At this time, it is really unpredictable to win or lose.
Deng frontcourt and Boozer's block, the ball is returned to Boozer.
Wallace was obviously a little more experienced than Artest, and he leaned on Boozer to keep him from giving him a comfortable turn, and his hands were held high.
Boozer spun around a few times and couldn't find the right angle, put the ball low and waited for Rose to come over and give it away.
Rose held the ball and rushed straight to the basket, and the sudden was very resolute, as if he was holding a dynamite bag and dying.
The Cavaliers didn't shrink, and Rose went to the basket to face Yao Ming one-on-one.
A rapid twist of direction.
However, Yao Ming's center of gravity did not move at this time, and he interfered when Rose made a move.
Rose's shot went wide of the basket and the rebound was picked up by Artest.
The scene burst into cheers.
A crucial defense!
"Retreat! Retreat! Boozer is an old man, and at this time he reminded his teammates loudly.
Paul carries the ball to the front court.
There are 35 seconds left in the race.
Almost all the audience stood up.
"Come on! Cavaliers! ”
The cheers are also wave after wave.
Paul looked for Wallace's blocking, and after dismantling it, he attracted the bag clip, and when he saw Yao Ming under the basket, Noah was on defense, and directly put it in with a high hanging.
Yao Ming hit the board again, and Noah interfered this time, Yao Ming was affected, and the ball went out of the basket.
The rebound was grabbed by Deng, who rushed in.
The Bulls called a timeout.
There are only 20 seconds left in the race.
Coming back from a timeout, Rose slammed into the basket with the ball.
The Cavaliers' defense was so good that Rose didn't have a chance to make a move, and he jumped up and gave the ball to the perimeter.
Artest recovered quickly and didn't give Deng an easy chance to make a move.
The time for the game was approaching, and Deng forced his hand against the defense.
"Bang!"
The ball hits the rebound and pops in!
114 to 113!
Three-point quasi-lore!
The scene was in an uproar.
This is a damn three-point shot!
There are only 3 seconds left in the race.
"Up! Above! ”
At this moment, Tang Tian noticed that the Bulls players were still celebrating, and shouted directly at Paul.
Yao Ming also reacted quickly, took the ball to the outside of bounds and served directly, and Paul dribbled the ball and rushed forward.
The Bulls players were a little unresponsive.
With 1 point trailing in the final 3 seconds, the Cavaliers still have a timeout, which is sure to be called under normal circumstances.
But Tang Tian did the opposite just now.
Paul's speed was so fast that the rest of the Bulls didn't have time to defend at all.
However, Rose reacted, and he sprinted with all his might, finally catching up with Paul at the frontcourt three-point line.
I'm running out of time!
