The Bobcats led by 17 points heading into the fourth quarter, and LeBron James continued to play for a slim chance of a comeback.

But in the fourth quarter, James, who was declining in physical fitness, could hardly even guarantee a breakthrough to ensure a shooting rate, and the Bobcats continued to defend him tightly.

In the end, in this quarter, James shot 2 of 7 again, got 5 points, 1 rebound and 1 assist, and the performance was poor, and the Cavaliers naturally failed to complete the comeback.

At the end of the game, the Bobcats easily defeated the Cavaliers 109-81 and won the second game of the series, leading the Cavaliers with a total score of 2:0 in the Eastern Conference semifinals.

In the post-match press conference, Johi talked about LeBron James' poor individual performance in this game.

"Obviously, we successfully defended LeBron's individual offense, and in this game, Andre, Gerrard and Josh, as well as Kendrick, teamed up to lock LeBron directly, which proves that our defensive strategy is correct, and it also proves that in our past games against the Cavaliers, LeBron has always been able to score high points, not because he is unstoppable, but because we have used different ways to win."

"And in this game, we decided to prove that we can defend LeBron."

Qiao Hai's last few words, soon a reporter thought of the regular season, the Bobcats vs. the Cavaliers, the Cavaliers lost and LeBron James did not lose the game, some media questioned Qiao Hai's inability to limit LeBron James's individual play.

Obviously, Qiao Hai used the process and final result of this game to prove that they are not unable to defend LeBron James, but they are too lazy to defend.

……

After the game, TNT's special show, as a big disciple of Pat Riley and a famous defensive guru, he analyzed the Bobcats' defense against James in this game.

"The Bobcats won the game, and the six of them scored in double figures throughout the game, with the highest scorer being Chris Paul with 26 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists, followed by Michael Reed with 23 points, 2 rebounds and 3 assists."

"On the other hand, the Cavaliers' highest scorer was LeBron James, but in this game, he was also completely limited by the Bobcats, with only 7 of 19 shots in the game, 19 points, 6 rebounds, 7 assists, and as many as 6 turnovers!"

"LeBron James's performance is obviously abnormal, but I have to say that in this game, the Bobcats were very successful in defending LeBron James!"

"Their defensive strategy is completely different from the previous 8 regular season games and 1 playoff matchup, the previous 8 regular season games and 1 playoff game, the Bobcats used a way of constantly changing defenses, maintaining a single defense against James, and focusing on locking James' teammates."

"In the past, LeBron James was able to get a lot of one-on-one opportunities, and under one-on-one, James's offensive success rate was very high, but because it was always one-on-one, James' ability to connect teams could not be reflected, so the Cavaliers would lose because one person could not beat a team."

"And in this game, the defensive strategy adopted by the Bobcats is a one-man single defense, mid-range to the interior and help defense, and speed up the rotation speed of the strong side defense, completely limiting LeBron James's individual offense, and the Cavaliers' offense completely collapsed."

Jeff Van Gundy's analysis is obviously in place, but he still ignores a detail, which Qiao Hai has been emphasizing from beginning to end - to prevent James' right attack and put James on the left.

In fact, this is the most important thing, because James's right side is completely locked, and in this game, James was forced to be helpless and could only keep going to the left side.

Playing in a way that is not what he is used to, James is understandably poor.

……

After 2-0 at home, the Bobcats rushed to Cleveland.

At the same time, the second game of the Eastern and Western semifinals was also played, and the Pistons beat the Raptors in the second game.

In the West, the Spurs broke out, and they defended the Rockets with only 67 points in the third quarter, but in the end, the Spurs still lost the game.

Yao Ming scored three points before the end, and the Rockets narrowly defeated the Spurs 98-95, and also won the second game of the series, leading the overall score 2-0.

The series between the Lakers and the Mavericks should be the most intense in the semifinals, the Lakers only won by 3 points in the first game, and in this game, the Mavericks dominated the game again, taking an 11-point lead at halftime.

They then maintained that lead until the end of the game.

The Mavericks eventually pulled one back and tied the series at 1-1.

The league also announced the winner of the regular season MVP at this time, averaging 18.8 points, 4.2 rebounds and 10.5 assists per game this season.

Last season, Nash was a strong contender for MVP, but ultimately lost to Yao Ming, who had better stats and records.

This season, Yao Ming's data and record are still very good, but the league chose not to give Yao Ming Lianzhuang, which was also complained about by the Rockets' media and fans.

Qiao Hai was also asked by the media about his opinion of this MVP, although Qiao Hai and Yao Ming are closer, Qiao Hai's emotional intelligence is not low, so naturally he will not offend people casually.

Therefore, his answer was: "Steve Nash should get this MVP, he is an MVP-level player, of course, Yao Ming should also get this MVP, he is also an MVP-level player, but there are too many good players in the NBA, and unfortunately, there is only one MVP, so there is no problem with this trophy for Steve and Yao." ”

Qiao Hai's answer got a full score, Nash is the MVP, Yao Ming is also the MVP, both of them are MVPs, and Qiao Hai will not offend anyone.

……
