Back in Charlotte, the Bobcats were surprised to find fans coming to the airport to pick them up, wearing their genuine jerseys. This brought tears to everyone's eyes, and it seems that he has conquered the local fans in Charlotte with his performance, although the influence is not greater than that of several prestigious schools, including Duke, but at least it is a good start.

This situation greatly boosted the morale of the team, and in the training session on the second day, everyone seemed to have been beaten with chicken blood, and Chang Wei on the sidelines was worried about it, for fear that they would be injured because of too many movements. However, Jackson is very happy with the mentality of his players and he is now confident in the next game.

But as soon as the third game began, Jackson's confidence was devastated. This time, he continued to let Allen start and defend James one-on-one, but James's hand seemed to return to the state of the first game where people blocked people and Buddha blocked and killed Buddha, and he continued to hit and shoot on Allen's head. Although Allen still drew a gourd to push James out of the three-second zone, he couldn't stop him from taking advantage of his height to keep shooting, and the key problem was that his shooting percentage was quite high.

Chang Wei immediately guessed that James must have practiced shooting before the game, and his three-point shot in his previous life was not particularly accurate in the early part of his career, at least not enough to be a threat point, but his mid-range shooting percentage was very good. Being killed by Allen in the last game may have really been just an accident, but now he looks like he's getting back to shooting.

Maybe that's James' playoff mode, and whenever he gets into it, it's hard for anyone around the league to stop him. The Bobcats' relatively weak strength was not taken into account by him at first, and he did not give 100% in the first game, but Allen's successful defense against him still inspired James's inner blood, which also made him decide to go all out.

The Bobcats, led by Roy, did not let the Cavaliers pull the margin apart, but they kept chasing the score, and the margin between the two sides fluctuated back and forth between 6-8 points all the time. Although this also means that the Bobcats were not directly taken away by the opponent, the failure to chase points is very demoralizing, and whenever the Bobcats are ready to take up, James will always nip the momentum in the bud with accurate mid-range shooting. Not only that, but he can also give assists to Hughes and Gibson on the perimeter, allowing them to hit three-pointers.

With just over three minutes left in the first quarter, Jackson had to pull down the main lineup, and he clearly saw on the sidelines that everyone was not a small drain. Especially Allen, he not only has to fight against James, but also has to bear the psychological pressure of being scored by the opponent in a row, it can be said that he is the most tired of the Bobcats' starting five, and the rest is also a matter of course.

To Jackson's surprise, Mike Brown replaced the other four, leaving James on the court, which made him feel incredible. Could it be that this pervert has to play a full 48 minutes in this game? Impossible, right?

Jackson thought that James would give the ball to his teammates and that he was just playing the role of a playmaker, but he was soon horrified to find that James was still breaking through with the ball every round, and neither Ariza on the outside nor Rahim and Lee on the inside could stop him, and he might have to make a penalty if he reached out, so he could only rely on continuous outside shooting to bite the score.

However, the closer you get to the basket, the higher the shooting percentage is an unbreakable truth on the basketball court, and the Bobcats' shooters have worked hard, but no one except Cappano has been able to shoot the ball to the basket, which also made the Bobcats trail by 11 points at 29-40 at the end of the first quarter, and James alone scored 17 points and 4 assists in 12 minutes.

After a short intermission, James once again walked onto the court in the eyes of everyone's surprise, once again refreshing everyone's perception of his perverted physical fitness. In desperation, Jackson could only be a starter, and it turned out that the Bobcats' benches were simply vulnerable in front of James, and even if they could score, they couldn't stop James from scoring.

Allen was unconvinced and prepared to cause trouble for James, but he received a personal foul in the first round, and although he had not yet made free throws, it also dampened Allen's morale. Everything that followed was like a remake of the first quarter, and the Bobcats sometimes even had to use a double bag on James, and of course they couldn't play a three-man bag if necessary, but that would be too stupid to let the other two guys face the Cavaliers four players, right?

However, the double bag could not stop James, who had already begun to smooth the wind, and under his leadership, the Cavaliers set off wave after wave of offensive frenzy, and the Bobcats were like a small boat in the stormy waves, which could be overturned at any time. By the end of the first half, the Bobcats had trailed by as many as 21 points, while James's stats had improved to 26 points, eight rebounds and six assists, which is the statistic of most players in a game, and James did it in just one half.

This gave Jackson a big headache, but he couldn't think of a good way for a while, so he could only let Ariza start at the beginning of the second half and return to the lineup that played against the Cavaliers in the first game. This response can't be wrong, and it's the best way the Bobcats can take at the moment, but Jackson forgot that the Cavaliers' morale has been taken up by James, and playing against the offense now will only make him die faster, but anyway, if there are no surprises, this game is already lost.

The Bobcats, who returned to the regular lineup, did play a wave of small ** at the beginning of the third quarter, once narrowing the gap to 12 points, but James immediately responded, he scored 8 points in a row on a burst shot, and reopened the gap to more than 20 points. By the end of the third quarter, James had played the full 36 minutes, a near-triple-double of 37 points, 11 rebounds and nine assists, and it looked like he would have the strength to play the entire fourth quarter if the Bobcats didn't throw in the towel.

Jackson looked at the numbers on the scoreboard and shook his head helplessly, it was obvious that the fourth quarter was already garbage time, and there was no need to send the main lineup to fight hard. Seeing that the Bobcats sent a bench lineup in the fourth quarter, Mike Brown also replaced James with dignity. Despite missing a triple-double, James was still satisfied with a big win, and most importantly, he managed to get rid of Allen's defense in the game and blow the opponent straight away. If it was the regular season, maybe he would have gone up to pay his respects, but now it's a life-or-death playoffs, and winning has become James' only goal.
