Chapter 699: Kill Kelly Halfway. irving
Wade carried Irving's dunk to make it 2+1, this is the attitude of the "Flash" to this game. He doesn't resent James, but that doesn't mean he will show mercy to James' team.
Cuban trusts him to help the team win championships. To win a championship, the Cavaliers must definitely cross that hurdle. For Wade, this is no longer an ordinary regular season game. This is a rehearsal for the finals!
35-35, after the start of the second quarter, the Mavericks became tougher both offensively and defensively.
James tried to fight back and found that his teammates didn't have as many opportunities as they had in the first quarter. Each of them was forced to defend to death, and Gobert switched to Tristan. After Thompson, James was not so easy to get on the inside.
But he had no choice, and when the team couldn't get a chance, James had to step up and hold his ground.
He took a step back and motioned for everyone to pull away, this guy wants to go single!
"The second quarter of the game has just begun, and LeBron. Is James going to start singles mode!? Barkley's eyes widened, it was counterintuitive, but it was the only way.
James' simple change of direction slightly confuses Iguodala's center of gravity, but whenever there is a fleeting opportunity, James can take it.
The strong No. 23 originally wanted to go straight to the basket, but Iguodala's defense was too tight. As a result, James could only barely make a pull-up jump shot in the three-second zone.
Iguodala was not slow to react, reaching out to seal James' gaze. It was definitely a perfect defense, and even Blatter shook his head silently.
Yet, James is James. Without any chance, the goal was scored by him.
The basketball went into the net crisply, and James slammed his chest. He won't lose to the Mavericks again, never!
"A tough response, LeBron's goal is really difficult! It can be seen that he does not intend to lose to the Mavericks again. The resentment of being swept 4-0 by the Mavericks in the finals last season, he hasn't vented it yet! ”
Iguodala shrugged, and this time defending he did everything he could. But that's the way the superstars are, their goals don't make sense.
The Cavaliers took the score out again, and Wade's dunk did not dampen James' confidence in winning, but instead stimulated his desire to win.
Then attacked, Yiyang passed the ball to Wade, who cut inside and scored into the basket after throwing off Vitesse. Wade caught the ball without the slightest hesitation. Lefu was about to jump to block, but found a black shadow passing by.
James spared no effort and viciously flew Wade's layup fan out of the baseline!
"LeBron. James, his return was too timely! And he still blocked Wade, what a dramatic scene! ”
James didn't smile, and the friendly attitude between him and Wade at the start of the game had disappeared without a trace.
Wade and James are both professional players, so they know very well that they have to draw a line in game and life!
"Damn." Wade pouted, his current physical condition is indeed incomparable to James. The guy jumped as high as he did when he first entered the league and never seemed to be affected by the months.
Although the offense was still a throw-in from the Mavericks, the fluidity of the offense was broken after a block.
Yiyang regained possession of the ball and reviewed the situation on the field. Wade's point has already attracted too much attention, and as soon as he hits the three-second zone, someone will definitely make up for it quickly.
What about Gobert? Although he has a height advantage, he is defeated by Tristan. Thompson stuck to his bones, or he was in a bad position.
Everybody has no chance, and I have to pull up a chance for the team. Now that James has begun to exert his power, Yiyang will no longer keep it.
So, Yiyang hoisted the ball to Dirk. Dirk was in the mid-range position at the moment, with his back to the ball, which was his favorite position. In this case, Dirk has an advantage over Lefou, whether it is a turn-over jumper or a turn-around breakaway.
But instead of opting for either of these two attacks, he hit the ball to the ground with his back to the ground!
The basketball jumped to the middle, and Yiyang, who cut in after throwing off Irving, caught the ball and went straight to the basket.
Tristan. Thompson jumped up to block, but Yiyang wrapped the ball around Thompson's waist and stuffed it into Gobert's arms.
Yiyang's breakthrough had already attracted Thompson's defense, so Gobert jumped on the spot and smashed the dunk with both hands when no one was marking!
"The Mavericks dunked again, and they broke down the Cavaliers' defense again! The goal came from a direct assist from Yi, who is really a never-ending motor. ”
Although the scorer was Gobert, James's eyes never took his eyes off Yiyang.
Are you going to get it real? Also.
The score was filled in again, and the game was still anxious!
Not to be outdone, James retreated to the side under the cover of Lefou, and hit a three-pointer, and the Cavaliers exceeded again!
What about Yiyang? He prefers to catch and shoot. Yiyang used his endless running and fake movements with real eyes to make Owen's legs almost weak.
Irving used to think that he could only play tricks with possession in hand, but today, he saw players who made off-ball offense entertaining.
By the time Yiyang got to the three-point line and received the basketball, Irving didn't know where he had been dumped.
Yiyang made a decisive shot, the basketball crossed a picturesque arc, and the three-point shot was hit!
Before the Knights' lead was warm, Yiyang ruthlessly tied the score again.
The two sides seemed to be engaged in a tug-of-war, and although the Mavericks contained the play of Irving and Love, the score still did not improve because of James' presence.
Carlisle is not in a hurry, as long as the situation continues to be so consumed, James will not be able to hold on to the end of the game.
He's working so both the defensive end and the offensive end, sooner or later he'll get out of shape. When the time comes, the Mavericks only need a wave of onslaught, an offensive climax, to take the game away. Playing the Heat last season, this trick has been tried and tested repeatedly.
However, it is precisely to avoid such a situation that James will return to Cleveland......
After Yiyang hit a three-point shot, James directly took over possession and advanced it himself. Under normal circumstances, James personally controls the ball and advances, which most likely means that this guy has to turn on the individual scoring mode. Sure enough, after a pause outside the three-point line, James forced Iguodala again!
This time, when he turned over and chased back, Iguodala suddenly slipped and fell directly to the ground. Seeing this, Yiyang left Owen and went straight to James. And after Iguodala got up, he also cleverly made up for Owen.
But Irving didn't continue to stand outside the three-point line and watch, but followed James to cut into the basket.
With Gobert blocking in front and Yiyang chasing after him, it was difficult for James to complete the layup. Because the two of them before and after him are both masters of blocking.
But in the process of traveling, James suddenly divided the ball without giving him a look. Irving, who was lightning fast, came from behind, received the basketball, and threw it directly.
No matter how high Gobert is, he can't block the throw. The basketball hits the rebound and refracts into the net.
Kelly. Irving, he's not a three-point shooter!
"Pretty, Kelly. Irving finally scored in the second quarter. Here's what we want to see, the connection between LeBron and Irving. Kelly should also be more protruding so that he can help James share the pressure. ”
What level Iguodala's defense is, Yiyang knows very well. There are only two possibilities for a defender to break through so easily.
One is that Iguodala has just fallen and injured himself, and the other is that Owen's individual offensive ability is really very strong!
Undoubtedly, just fall into the second case!
If Wade ran into Iguodala last year, there was no way to play such a wonderful pass and cut with James.
Carlisle frowned, and there seemed to be an X-factor in this game, which was already under control.
After that, Yiyang continued to shine and assisted Nowitzki to hit a three-pointer. The Cavaliers' defense is still mainly based on blocking Yiyang, they are just betting, betting that the rest of the Mavericks will not be able to shoot. But it was clear that they lost the bet again in this round.
But this is also something that can't be helped, Irving's defense is destined to let his teammates wipe his ass.
But soon, Owen made amends. The connection between him and James grew closer. This time, the person who blocked and dismantled for Irving directly became James!
James blocks for his point guard, which is a picture that is absolutely not seen on the Heat. Just thinking about James blocking Chalmers is a little incredible.
But in the knights, everything is different.
Irving's pick-and-roll was naturally Iguodala, who was ready to fight, and he had seen the young defender's attacking power before. After Irving bypassed the pick-and-roll, he immediately changed direction, getting between James, who was blocking for him, and Iguodala, who was about to defend him!
"This change of direction is too fast!"
With just one step of acceleration, Owen pulled Iguodal through. Gobert stepped forward to prevent Irving's pull-up jumper or throw. But Irving wasn't going to finish the offense in that gentle way, he leaned on Gobert and threw the ball high. Curry's high-hitting layup, this action can be replicated, and so can Irving!
The basketball went into the net, and Irving was hit by Gobert and fell straight down. The referee blows the whistle, another chance to hit three points!
"Kelly. Irving was completely open, and his timely appearance helped LeBron take a lot of the pressure off his shoulders. Once he and LeBron join forces, even Yi and Iguodala can't stop him! He's so flexible and he's very strong at finishing. Coach Carlisle thought he had curbed the Cavaliers' three-pointer and was all right today. In fact, Owen is a super defender who can stand up and act as the core of the offense at any time! That's right, a super point guard, not a three-point shooter! ”
James only needed one pick-and-roll to get a three-point opportunity, which was unbelievable last season. Because even if he blocks Wade, Wade, who is in extremely poor form, may not be able to get rid of the players who defend him.
At first, the Cavaliers were on the rise, and Wade quickly pressed them down. Later, James got up, and Yiyang responded to LeBron with his actual actions, and the game was not so simple.
Now, it's Yiyang's turn and his Mavericks to get on the rise, Kelly. Owen stood up for James. He told everyone with strong support that LeBron is no longer fighting alone!
"Miscalculated, miscalculated, this game has to be played." Seeing that Irving stood at the free throw line and was about to equalize for the Cavaliers, Carlisle at the bottom couldn't help but shake his head.
The sudden killing of Owen frustrated the plan to kill James. These two men complement each other and keep the Cavaliers alive forever.
Yiyang looked at the backs of James and Owen in the distance, and found that he was already starting to gasp a little.
When a real right-hand man appears next to James, the victory or defeat may not be divided in the second quarter of the game.
A guard who can score points on Gobert's head? Hmph, that's interesting!
