Chapter 672: This is the familiar bobcat
After the opening 3:2, the Cavaliers' offense, James continued to hold the ball and forced a breakthrough.
His personal ability is indeed invincible, and the Bobcat can't defend it at all, so he can only implement a flanking attack after James breaks through.
After the pinch, James distributed the ball directly to the basket, and Drew Gooden scored a layup under the basket.
At 5:2, the Cavaliers started in good shape and scored in a row.
Bobcats' attack, after Paul burst a ball at the beginning, Eriksno, who was defending him, was on guard, Paul burst out, and was directly blocked by Snow and did not succeed.
After calling for cover, the knight directly delayed and added a pinch attack, and many people on the strong side pressed, in short, it was not allowed to let the Bobcats have a chance on the strong side.
By the time Paul shifted the ball to the weak side, the weak side was already in place.
Judging from the Cavaliers' series of defenses, McBrown's offense is not good, but his ability to adjust the defense is still very strong.
In this shot, the Bobcats eventually moved to the weak side, and Danny Granger's quasi-open jumper did not score.
The Time Warner Center sighed, and Reggie Miller also shouted: "If it's Michael Reed, this goal has already been scored!" ”
"Danny Granger has a lot of potential, but obviously in terms of projection, he needs to improve compared to Michael Reed."
The Bobcats failed to score, the Cavaliers had an inside advantage, they directly protected the backcourt rebound, James rarely had a round without the ball, the Cavaliers' teammates solved the offense of this round, but Big Z's back turned and hooked the hand did not score.
The Bobcats' offense, Chris Paul's pull-up jump shot was also iron, he couldn't shake off enough space, and he was directly interfered with by the veteran Snow.
In another offensive round of the Cavaliers, James got the ball again, another strong burst, easily hit the basket, and made a layup.
At 7:2 in the opening game, Qiao Hai hesitated and did not adjust.
Then, the Cavaliers went further, and the score became 12:4 in one wave, and the lead was also 8 points, and the game was just 4 minutes into the game.
After the opening, Qiao Hai finally couldn't help it, stood up directly, and called a timeout.
"The Bobcats actually fell behind at the beginning, and in the past month, although their form was average, it was still rare to fall behind in the opening."
"The Cavaliers got off to a perfect start, and now the question has shifted to the Bobcats to see what adjustments Joe will make."
……
Qiao Hai's adjustment was simple and rude, he knew very well that the opening Bobcat played like this, there was no problem in defense, they encountered a full Zhan, and the defensive end was completely burst by full Zhan.
But with James' physical fitness, he couldn't have maintained such a bright burst throughout the game.
So, the problem of defense is not big, the main problem is in offense.
In this game, the Cavaliers chose to expand the defense, and the main defense Bobcat's peripheral projection and cooperation, the Bobcats couldn't play space, and several main players on the offensive end shot inaccurately, so naturally the offense couldn't be opened.
At this time, Qiao Hai only needs to replace Michael Reed, who has just returned from injury, and everything is settled.
So, Qiao Hai called Michael Reed from the bench: "Michael." ”
He looked at Reed, who was eager to try, "Are you ready?" ”
"Of course, Boss!"
"Then let's go on, Danny will come down and rest for a while, and we will return to the tactical play of November and December, and use our offense to crush our opponents!"
……
After a roar of momentum, the timeout ended and the two teams re-entered the field.
Reggie Miller immediately spotted Michael Reed from the crowd: "Michael Reed came off the bench, I wonder if his appearance can change the Bobcats' somewhat difficult offense at the moment?" ”
Ernie Johnson, who partnered Reggie Miller, shook his head: "Michael Reid has just returned from injury, and his form will be a mystery." ”
After a timeout, the Bobcats possessed the ball.
Chris Paul held the ball, and he quickly had a pick-and-roll with Josh Smith, and after the pick-and-roll, Josh Smith continued to walk to the wing.
At this time, Michael Reed, who had just appeared on the court, came directly around the wing, first passed the cover of Josh Smith, and then rushed in front of Paul, and after a small block, the Cavaliers directly chose to pinch Paul who continued to hold the ball.
Michael Reid was overlooked, just like Andre Iguodala before him.
But apparently, Reid was different from Iguodala in that he quickly picked up Paul's pass after going around the other side.
"Michael Reed received the ball from the left three-point line, and he stepped on the three-point line to shoot!" Reggie Miller shouted.
With a bang, the basketball hit the hollow without suspense, bringing up a white net flower!
"The ball is in! Worthy of Michael Reed, he is the Bobcats' most consistent shooter, even after a month of injury! ”
Ernie Johnson also immediately followed, constantly shouting: "Michael Reed's state is no longer in doubt, he is too good, his hand is too hot, as soon as he returns, he immediately shoots a two-point shot that steps on the three-point line!" Hollow into the net! ”
At 12:6, the Bobcats pulled back two points.
Immediately afterwards, the Cavaliers' offense, James continued to break through, against Iguodala's defense, and scored 2 more points, 14:6.
In the Bobcats' offensive round, Chris Paul controlled the ball from the backcourt to the frontcourt, and the Cavaliers' defense immediately made changes.
Larry Hughes didn't dare to miss Michael Reed anymore, but even so, after a series of outside matches from the Bobcats, Michael Reid was still empty.
This time, after he received the ball, he took a step, and LeBron James immediately flew to make up for it, and the Cavaliers were already afraid of Michael Reed's vacant shot.
Encountering James' supplemental defense, Michael Reid chose to divide the ball, and he directly distributed the ball to the basket and gave it to Josh Smith in the open position.
Josh Smith jumped to his feet and slammed it in!
With two balls in a row, Michael Reed's appearance has brought changes to the Bobcat, which is already visible to the naked eye! At the very least, the Bobcats' offensive end ball has been smoothed out, and the chances have begun to increase.
The Cavaliers' offense, James took a break and hit a ball to his teammate, and Drew Gooden's inside jumper missed.
The Bobcats grabbed the rebound, Chris Paul received the ball and directly began to push the counterattack.
The Cavaliers' retreat was a little slower, and the front court immediately formed a four-on-two, Paul controlled the ball, smashed in the middle, followed by Josh Smith, with Iguodala on one side and Michael Reed on the other.
In the face of Paul's onslaught, the Cavaliers had to shrink their interior defense, and then Paul jumped up and passed the ball directly to the left wing.
Michael Reed jumped up from beyond the three-point line on the left side, and the Time Warner Center was already on the verge of cheering.
Swish!
After a crisp shot, the white net flowers waved, and the Time Warner Center was immediately a deafening cheer!
After Michael Reed came on the court, the Bobcats chased a wave of 7:2, and almost instantly, the score became 14:11, and the Bobcats were only 3 points behind!
This is the familiar bobcat!
