The Bobcats, who won the third game, were in high spirits, and they started attacking as soon as they came up in the fourth game. However, the Cavaliers are not willing to lose, 1-3 and 2-2 mean completely different, although there are several teams in NBA history who have completed the comeback after falling behind 1-3, but many more teams have lost the game in such an extremely unfavorable situation.

In the face of the Bobcat's attack, the knight responded in time. The Cavaliers' starting backcourt in this game is West and Gibson, to some extent this is a two-control lineup, of course, the two of them have different tasks, West mainly helps James share the pressure of organizing the offense, and Gibson only needs to catch the ball in the open position and shoot threes.

This time James deliberately created opportunities for Gibson, and the youngster did not live up to the trust of his big brother, hitting two three-pointers in a row in the bottom corner to help the team bite the score. Jack also wanted to interfere with Gibson's shot, but the kid was slippery like a loach, and he seemed to suddenly open his mind, and he was very clever in running with the help of cover. Jack is stronger than Gibson in terms of height and strength, but he really can't compare to his movement speed, so he can only sigh.

The two sides quickly entered a tug-of-war, with Roy and James battling back and forth, alternating scores, with no one able to get out of the quagmire quickly. Jackson and Brown both felt helpless, Jackson hoped to beat the Cavaliers to death with a stick, and Brown hoped that the players would play with momentum and win the game by the way, but no one could help anyone.

At this time, the tactical arrangement does not work, it depends on whether the players can break the deadlock on the field. What Chang Wei didn't expect was that it was Ariza who took the lead on the Bobcats' side, you must know that this guy can only average 10.7 points per game this season, which is not the team's main scoring point at all, not to mention that he is also responsible for defending James, and the pressure is quite high.

But with a corner three-pointer and two empty-handed runs to cut to the basket for layups, Ariza scored seven straight points, and also contributed a steal during the process, helping the team defend against a Cavaliers offense, and although it didn't turn into a score, it also proved that he put a lot of effort on the defensive end. Ariza's performance surprised Jackson, he didn't expect this pure 3D player to have such a hand, but in Chang Wei's opinion, this is quite normal, you must know that in his previous life, Ariza was once regarded as the main attacker of the rocket, have you ever seen the main attacker who can't break through with the ball? Now he's just switching to an empty cut.

James wasn't going to watch Ariza help the Bobcats take the lead, but this time he didn't score on his own and gave up the opportunity to his teammates. West scored in the same way as Ariza, and although his three-pointer was hit by Roy's interference, he slipped to the basket with the help of his teammates' cover to score and help the Cavaliers bite the score.

At the end of the first quarter, the two sides were almost tied, with the Bobcats leading only 37-35. As you can see from this scoreline, this game is definitely a tough battle, for both sides, it will not be easy to win.

Jackson didn't care, and he even used an all-bench lineup at the start of the second quarter, allowing Ellis to play on the court with other benches. Brown didn't dare to be as big as him, and he still put Hughes, a starter-level player, on the court to see if he could help the team recover some of the disadvantages. And in order to let the team overtake the score, Brown didn't let James rest for long, and let him reappear just after two and a half minutes in the second quarter, otherwise it would be difficult for the Cavaliers to close the score.

Hughes's ability is good, but it will be difficult to rely on him to take advantage of the Bobcats' bench, so Brown only gave James a short break and couldn't wait to let him play. Seeing James on the court, Jackson also had to slowly replace the main players on the court, Chandler could certainly guard against James, but the effect was relatively average.

After both sides changed to the main force, the score returned to the first quarter, but the scene was still very good, and no one could prevent anyone. The Cavaliers rely mainly on James' individual ability, and the Bobcats play as a team, which are what the fans like to see, for them, the team wins first, and whether the game looks good or not is second.

Chang Wei never cared whether the players played well or not, in his opinion, it didn't matter how ugly the game was, as long as he could win. However, it is still a bit difficult to do now, and he realizes that there is still a certain disadvantage in recruiting a group of players who will be successful in the future, that is, it takes time for them to grow slowly, but now the team needs them to produce results.

Fortunately, young people are reckless, and newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, which can be called completely worthy of it, at this time Roy resolutely shouldered the team's scoring responsibility, and by the way, he also created opportunities for his teammates. Although not as tall as James, Roy still has his own unique ability to comb the offense and court vision, and the other Bobcats players also get a piece of the pie.

James can still compete with the whole team in a short period of time, and although the other players of the Cavaliers are not as good as in the second game, they still give James a lot of help, and the Bobcats have never been able to stretch the difference to double digits.

Jackson pondered for a moment, and instead of calling a timeout, he took advantage of Milicic's free throws to call Roy to the sidelines and muttered a few words in his ear. Roy was stunned for a moment, nodded, didn't say anything, and turned around and went back to the field.

Chang Wei knew that Jackson must have made some arrangements for Roy, but he had no intention of going up to inquire, this was to maintain the dignity of Jackson's head coach. However, Chang Wei didn't expect Jackson's response to be to let Gasol Jr. and Milicic play alone on the inside, and then pass inside and outside, compress the Cavaliers' defense and create opportunities for teammates to shoot outside.

This method is not unusual, but it is very suitable, now the Cavaliers are very attentive to the defense of the outside, Roy, Jack and Ariza did not get any easy shots, at this time let the two inside to the low post to play alone, will undoubtedly make the Cavaliers shrink the defense, otherwise their own basket will definitely be penetrated, the Bobcats' interior combination is young and young, and the strength is still very strong.

At first, the Cavaliers didn't pay attention to the inside singles of Gasol Jr. and Milicic, but after scoring in a few consecutive rounds, they couldn't take it seriously, so they could only temporarily let go of the outside line and put the focus of defense on the three-point line.
