After the first three attacks after the start of the game, the fans saw what they were craving. The combination of James and Irving and Yiyang and Wade went toe-to-toe and did not shy away.

In the next few minutes, the two sides played equally hard to solve. The Mavericks relied on their overall dominance, while the Cavaliers relied on the individual abilities of James and Irving to bite the score.

Finally, in the seventh minute after the start of the first quarter, David . Blatter began to make substitutions. He replaced Irving with Australian defender Dellavedova and Smith got on the field.

Smith was eager to try, averaging 18 points per game and shooting 41 percent from three-point range, and was undoubtedly playing with confidence during the Eastern Conference Finals. Even now he is facing Wade, there is not the slightest timidity.

And on Carlisle's side, Iguodala finally came on. Just Tony. Allen has dragged James down, and now Carlisle has replaced him with a physical defensive titan to fight against James, and he can't believe that he can't drag this No. 23 to death.

The Warriors' death five losses to the Mavericks were due to the fact that the Mavericks were able to defend all five positions. And against James, Carlisle is also very rich in defensive personnel.

"This period of time is a test for the Cavaliers, Irving is temporarily out of the game, and if he can't play firepower, then the Cavaliers' offense will be in a quagmire. But Wade's defense got too many chances. After all, before today's game began, Wade had already been angered. ”

Although there are different people, there are still a lot of highlights of the game. After the substitution, the Mavericks attacked for the first time, and Dellavedova, the Australian defender, showed his worth.

"He's really positive against his body! This guy's defense will definitely make Yi feel pressure! ”

Dellavedova adheres to the "good" qualities of Australian players, that is, a lot of small movements and fierce physical confrontation! The jersey grabbing and endless pushing and shoving, these actions may not be able to be done by Irving for another three years.

Yiyang didn't waste time with Dellavedovado, he passed the ball to Dirk, who in turn gave it to Wade, who broke through again for a layup. Naturally, he didn't want to let Wade score points like this, so he reached out to foul him.

Smith pulls it down, the referee's whistle blows, and Wade goes to the free throw line.

Just when Wade made a free throw, he motioned for himself to switch positions with Dellavedova, so the "thorn" stood behind Yiyang.

Yiyang crossed his waist and waited for Wade to go up and high-five him after the free throw, and didn't pay much attention to it. In the first free throw, Wade missed a free throw. "The Flash" shook his head, and Yiyang also walked up to high-five Wade to make him relax.

Then, Yiyang stepped back, and Wade was about to make a second free throw. At this moment, he walked up to Yiyang and bent down. Then under Yiyang's gaze, this strange thing untied a shoelace on Yiyang's shoes!

"What are you doing?" Yiyang was stunned, he had played in the league for five years, and it was the first time he had encountered such a situation.

"A lesson for you, it's free.", After saying that, Wade's second free throw knocked out again, and it was rare to miss two free throws!

Tristan. Thompson grabbed the rebound, Smith ran away, and before Yiyang could react, he received a pass from Thompson, and then scored a fast-break layup.

“hat！？” Mike. Brin spread his hands, and the director immediately inserted a replay, a fast-break layup, but a picture of Smith untying Yiyang's shoelaces.

"What a talent." Yiyang shook his head, he had never seen such a shameless person.

In fact, the first time he did this on the court, Howard, Monroe and even Marion on the Mavericks bench have all been "poisoned" by this. But this was the first time that Smith scored with this "trick".

's layup helped the Cavaliers narrow the gap to 2 points. But Yiyang didn't care, he was just funny. But it can also be seen that it was not a bluff before the game, and this guy will do everything he can to win today. If he could, he might take off Yiyang's shoes himself next time.

Smith untied his shoelaces, and Yiyang was more concerned about Wade's two missed free throws. Wade played aggressively today, breaking into the box frequently. But in this way, Wade's physical consumption is also greater than before. It seems that Wade is very tired by now. Later, when you defend, you can do it.

In this attack, Yiyang once again encountered a strong block from Dellavedova. It's just a treasure, that Dellavedova, an Australian, is doing it with Yiyang.

Facing the opponent's rough defense, Yiyang called a block. No matter how rough Dellavedova is, it is impossible to squeeze Gobert out of the way.

After taking over the cover breakthrough, Dellavedova still chased Yiyang relentlessly, and his hands were still very unclean.

Seeing this situation, Yiyang suddenly stopped and retreated, and then jumped directly to shoot! In this way, Dellavedova's action of grabbing Yiyang's jersey was exposed. But Yiyang was stunned to stabilize the center of gravity and shooting action in such a situation, and threw the basketball steadily, and at the same time Dellavedova fouled, Yiyang got the opportunity to play 2+1!

Dellavedova's rough defence didn't bother him, he used that to draw fouls on the Australians. You have to be careful, in the last round of the series, even the clean Klay was plagued by fouls. ”

Dellavedova's roughness did not frighten Yiyang, but was used by Yiyang. After all, compared to those rotten people on the street court in Wood District, Dellavedova's movements are already quite "gentle".

James shook his head, if even Dellavedova couldn't restrain Yiyang, he would have to go up himself. But what if James also expends a lot of energy on the defensive end, what about the offensive end? The Cavaliers' defense, a dilemma!

The three-point score was made, and the five-point gap continued to weigh on the Cavaliers. In this kind of tug-of-war, even a one-point gap can overwhelm the opponent. And this attack, Yiyang also sounded the alarm for Dellavedova. If he doesn't converge a bit, Yiyang will have more opportunities to score from easy free throws.

After a defensive time, Iguodala's tough style made James break through. In desperation, "Little Emperor" Smith. He had just borrowed a cover pocket to the bottom right corner, and Wade couldn't get around Mozgov's cover in time due to excessive physical exertion.

And just like that, Smith got an open three-point shot. Well, it seems, it's just an empty seat.

This guy was just jumping and ready to shoot through the Mavericks' heart. But before the ball could be shot, Yiyang suddenly jumped out, straightened his arm, and was in front of him!

A very cruel big risk, the basketball in Smith's hand was directly fanned by Yiyang to the stands!

"Also, his defense is too good! How did this guy predict that!? ”

In fact, he knew that Wade, who was too physically exhausted, would have a hard time keeping up. Therefore, Yiyang has long been prepared for the best defense. Anyway, Dellavedova is an Australian who doesn't have much scoring ability, and it's not a high risk to let him go once in a while.

"I'll give you a lesson back as a thank you just now." After Yiyang finished speaking, he left expressionlessly, gritting his teeth in anger.

Taking advantage of this dead ball, Carlisle replaced all the main players, except for Yiyang. The reason is that Blatter did not replace James.

This game is ultimately in the hands of Yiyang and James!

"Are you going to fight me to the death?" James moved his body, and it seemed that today was destined to be a tough battle.

James' terrifying ability in the Eastern Conference Finals made Carlisle feel uneasy. Iguodala and Tony. Allen's defense can only play a containment role, but cannot completely prevent James from death. To be exact, there is no way to prevent James from death in this world. So Yiyang stayed on the court just to score points with James!

After the Mavericks came off the bench, Smith was completely strangled to death. Shervin. Mark was fully engaged in defense and was very uncomfortable. He shot two shots against Mark, but only for Dyrem Porter to brush up on two rebounds.

In the first quarter of the game, the Mavericks forced James to solve the problem with singles. Their league-leading defense lives up to its name!

So in the last two minutes of the first quarter, James turned on his own personal scoring mode.

Dellavedova's task was to dribble the ball across half court, and then James would take over, hang up a simple screen, and then accelerate to break through!

Iguodala naturally won't be thrown off by a block, and he stuck to James from beginning to end. Looking at Iguodala's muscular body, you can imagine how difficult it is to carry a breakthrough.

However, James was stunned and forced a layup under Iguodala's interference!

"LeBron. James! None of this stopped him! But if James has to fight like this for every ball, I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to hold on until the end of the game! "Mike. Brin didn't just see the score, but also the helplessness behind James' score.

But there is no way, with Irving out of the court, the only point of attack for the Cavaliers on the court is James..? The nerve knife only needs to look at the balls in front of him to know that he is not on time today. has never succeeded.

To go to the waves, James might as well score points on his own. Only then will there be a chance to equalize the score before the end of the first quarter.

Carlisle then replaced Yiyang and gave him a minute of rest. But James was still on the floor, and it seemed that he was going to play a full quarter.

So, LeBron once again attacked Iguodala. This time, it was a stop-and-go jump shot after the breakout. Iguodala is still sticking to death, but James is stunned to score again in such a difficult situation!

"Incredible LeBron, he single-handedly carried the Cavaliers' offense!"

After scoring four points in a row, James started playing singles early. For the rest of the first quarter, James spent the entire first quarter in singles. The picture of this guy carrying two people into the inside to score was re-staged at the Center Arena of American Airlines.

In the end, the tenacious James was stunned to help the Cavaliers stabilize the point difference, and the first quarter of the game was 27-27, and the two teams were evenly matched!

But James, who played a full quarter, was already sweating profusely by the end of the first quarter. James' physicality is that no matter how tough he is, he is also human. If you are human, you will definitely get tired!

And in the first quarter of the game, Tony. Allen and Iguodala took turns defending and definitely made James pay more physical strength.

That's Carlisle's strategy, which consumes James from the first quarter of the game. As long as James falls, the Cavaliers have nothing to fear.

At the start of the second quarter, Irving returned to the court as a scoring point, and there was no doubt that James, who had just played a full quarter, was sitting on the bench and needed a break.

Carlisle didn't want to wait for James to rest before coming back to kill the Quartet, only continued attrition could make the steel body fall. And the only way to get James on the court is to put the Cavaliers in a crisis and make him have to play.

"Also, in the next game, cover Owen for me!" Carlisle grabbed Yiyang before going on the field and explained the last sentence.

I'm sorry, Uncle Drew. In order to force out James, you can only start with you.
