Chapter 698: New and Old Partners

For LeBron. For James, Yiyang is perhaps the opponent he is most desperate to beat right now. No new-generation player can put so much pressure on him as Yiyang, and even Rose and Bulls in their prime, can't threaten the Heat's dominance in the league.

But last season, Yiyang's actions let James know that he had to make a change. Continuing to partner with Bosh and Wade, he will not be able to defeat Yiyang.

He needs some teammates who are younger and more energetic like Yiyang. So, Owen and Lefu came to his side.

Irving is indeed very dynamic, and he may be the only young guard in the entire league other than Wall who has the ability to compete with Yiyang. Lillard? Lillard's tragedy of being kept clean by Yiyang last season is still being taken out from time to time by people to "whip the corpse".

Owen controlled the ball in front of Yiyang and did not rush to attack as before. Previously, the Cavaliers only had Irving as one attacker, but now it's different, and he has a greater teammate around him.

James took over the basketball, and he was the real ball handler for the Cavaliers. Iguodala didn't dare to slack off, and he still remembers James' outstanding performance in the Finals last season.

Love came up to block for LeBron, James did not hesitate, and immediately started!

Iguodala hurriedly got rid of Lefu and forced up, but the Cavaliers set up a double cover! After getting rid of Lefou, there is also a stronger Tristan. Thompson waited for Iguodala.

Seeing Iguodala delayed, Gobert quickly returned to the restricted area to protect the basket.

If it had been put on last season, James would have had no choice but to bite the bullet. But this year, everything is very different.

I saw James break through to the halfway point and decisively point the ball out. Love didn't hesitate to shoot from beyond the three-point line!

Although Bosh also has the ability to shoot three-pointers, I have to admit that the current Bosh is far less stable and threatening than Lefu outside the three-point line.

Lefu was born as a guard, and if it weren't for the sudden jump in size after high school, the Lefu we see now might be a three-point shooter on the guard line.

His soft touch was preserved even after changing to the inside line, Yiyang's interference was very positive, and Colef's shot point was not low.

And just like that, Love's three-pointer pierced the heart of the Mavericks. LeBron. James high-fives and Lefu to celebrate the goal!

The Cavaliers responded with a strong response, and Love hit a three-pointer as soon as he came up. He needs this kind of teammate who can open up space for himself, and LeBron really needs that kind of help. What Dwayne couldn't do before, Kevin and Owen can do it for him! ”

Wade shook his head, and had to admit that this Cavaliers team was more suitable for LeBron than the Heat. Under such a system, James can play more like a fish in water.

But so what? My mission today is to defeat you!

So, when the Mavericks attacked again, the young Dieng. Vitesse was distracted by Wade's run.

Originally, Vitesse planned to compete with Irving for the position of the team's leader, but after James and Love came, there was nothing to do with Vitesse.

His strength is in attack, not in defense. But what Owen needs is a partner who can defend.

As a result, Vitesse's shortcomings are magnified more and more, and his status with the Cavaliers is getting lower and lower.

Now in every game, Vitesse has to do everything in his power to prove himself. He stuck to Wade's back, running frantically and desperately.

The result? The result of this is that Wade ran back, and he threw the unreserved Vitesse clean! Defense, it's not just about running faster than anyone.

Wade ran to the mid-range position, and Yiyang's pass came immediately. Vitesse hurriedly blocked it, but Wade took advantage of the time difference to complete the breakthrough.

After Wade broke through to the inside, he carried Lefu with his body, and then hit a board and made a layup!

Wade is still the same Wade, even if he stops and stops in December, as long as he plays, Wade will try his best to win.

James couldn't help but smile, his old buddy was still so desperate. It's a pity that the current knights are not afraid of Wade, and even if Wade works hard, it will be difficult for him to become the one who decides the outcome of the game.

Sure enough, Owen immediately gave Wade a taste of the bitterness of aging. In the next attack, Vitesse set up a cover for Wade near the midfield line, with a very clear purpose, forcing Yiyang and Wade to switch defenses.

Wade switched to Owen in front of him, but he didn't dare to slack off in the face of a child much younger than himself. Owen is not afraid of Wade, a beautiful crotch changes direction and changes hands behind his back, Wade was shaken by Owen's dazzling action and lost his center of gravity!

When he reflexively chased back, Owen had already used his speed to kill the basket.

Gobert's defense of the box is a nightmare for most outside players. But it's clear that Irving is now capable of dealing with Gobert.

In the face of the French Tower's block, Owen managed to avoid it with a very beautiful lever move. is sassy and handsome and can still score goals, no wonder Owen will become the idol second only to Yiyang in the new era of defenders.

"That guy is simply an air magician, as long as he doesn't guard against him, he can shine."

After continuing Lefou, Owen also expressed his stance with his actions. James' team has been refreshed, and it's certainly not possible for the Mavericks to get through as easily as they did last season!

Wade gasped, and Carry. Owen? What a bad kid to deal with. But if you think I can beat it this way, you're very wrong!

The entire first quarter of the game came to an end in the confrontation between the two sides. The two teams met for the first time, and they were not familiar with each other, so they couldn't come up with a good defensive strategy.

James and Yiyang, the two top playmakers, handled the team's offense in an orderly manner, allowing their teammates to play with high efficiency.

The excitement of the first quarter of the game made the game live up to the reputation of "Christmas War". But in Barkley's view, the game was far from what he had imagined.

"What I wanted to see was a great offense and defense from both sides, but in the first quarter, I only saw their offense, but not the slightest defense! Truth be told, the Christmas finale shouldn't be at that level. Barkley looked at the stats of both sides in the first quarter, and the shooting percentage was too high. At 30-35, the Cavaliers temporarily led by 5 points, and the score was also very high.

"But there's no doubt that the fans love games like this. A hearty attack, and only freaks like you don't look good. O'Neal immediately retorted that this guy would not give up any chance to complain about Barkley.

But Barkley's words would definitely be echoed by Carlisle. So the first thing he said to the players during this break was, "Block the Cavaliers' three-point shooting!" ”

In the first quarter of the game, the Cavaliers' hot three-point shooting was the reason why their offense was so smooth. Carlisle was next to kill the Cavaliers' three-pointers and isolate James again.

"Dirk, you go and Kevin. Lefou's counterpoint. Although he was standing in the number five position, Tristan was actually standing in the number five position. Thompson was the one who kept the frame. So, Rudy, you don't have to run with Kevin for half the court, leave it to Dirk to deal with. ”

After Carlisle finished speaking, the inside duo of Dirk and Gobert nodded.

After the start of the second quarter, the Cavaliers were still the main lineup. In the first quarter of today's game, the main players of the Cavaliers played a very long time, but it can be seen that the Cavaliers coach David. Blatter is already stretched thin in terms of employing people.

The injuries of the Cavaliers are very serious, except for the main team, which is basically injured. Therefore, in this game, Blatter only has the main force of dead grass.

In the opening first offense, when James broke through with the ball again, he found that the Mavericks would no longer continue to shrink with him. But after seeing that Gobert was still under the basket, James started looking for Love, and maybe the guy had a chance.

However, when James found Lefou, who was ambushed in the bottom right corner, he miraculously stood in full swing with the experienced "German tank".

"The change of defense, coach Carlisle's change of defense is very successful. Now, Gobert will protect the basket, and LeBron has no passing options! ”

James took a step back, then suddenly picked up. At that moment, he suddenly had the feeling of returning to the Heat.

James used his strong body to push inside, and still struggled to get the ball up in the face of a fierce confrontation with Iguodala.

Although the Cavaliers still scored, Carlisle let out an imperceptible smile. James continues to play like this, and it will be no different from last season!

If there is a defensive success, it can only be counted as a coincidence. But two times in a row the exact same situation, James had to be alert.

In addition to James and Tristan. Thompson, the rest of the Cavaliers are facing tight defense.

Instead of rushing, James waited at the top of the arc for Irving to make a run. But where Yiyang can be thrown off so easily, Owen used several counter-runs, bypassed several covers, but still could not get rid of the entanglement of the Chinese.

What about Lefou? Lefu does not have the ability to run empty positions without the ball. James gritted his teeth and had to go on his own!

But this time, James couldn't escape Gobert's clutch again. After being delayed by Iguodala, Gobert fought hard and rewarded James with a big head-splitting face!

Yiyang received the basketball and launched a fast break with an ultra-long-distance ground-hitting pass.

The basketball made its way through the crowd and headed straight to the right side of the court. There, Wade was already up and running!

Owen was not slow either, and immediately chased after him. If Wade had wanted to launch a fast break five years ago, there would have been no one to catch up with. But now it's different, and Wade is no longer the lightning bolt on the pitch.

Owen stuck to Wade, and Wade's footsteps had been hindered. But the stubborn No. 3 hasn't stopped his steps, a younger partner? LeBron, I'd like to see what your partner is capable of!

Withstanding Irving's onslaught, Wade drove straight in and continued to break through to the basket. When he stepped into the three-second zone, Wade didn't slow down. This guy is really fighting.

Wade took the initiative to carry Irving away from the physical confrontation, and then jumped on one foot and tried to dunk!

Owen immediately reattached himself to Wade, and the physical confrontation between the two was fierce. If Wade had faced such a confrontation last season, he would have fallen.

But today, Wade is full of strength, and he gritted his teeth and persisted!

Parting from each other makes us all stronger, LeBron!

Wade was on his own after a dunk and was knocked out of balance in the air by Irving. But he struggled to hold on until he dunked the basketball into the basket and then fell down "with confidence".

Watching the basketball into the frame and hearing the referee's whistle, Wade smiled slightly. What followed was a sharp pain in his back.

"Wade forced a dunk and earned himself a three-point opportunity!" O'Neill jumped to the top, and it's almost 2015, not 2006. But Wade's dunk just now reminded the "Big Shark" of the young man in 2006!

Dwayne, you've never changed!

Yiyang almost rushed all the way to Wade, the confrontation between him and Owen just now was very fierce, and it was not that Owen did it on purpose, but that the two of them could not contain their inertia in a state of high-speed travel.

"Stinky boy, why are you staring at me stupidly, help me up and make free throws." Wade said, holding out his arm.

Wade grabbed Yiyang's forearm hard and stood up again. When he got up, he just met James' eyes.

Your young partner, it seems, is still a little bit off, LeBron!

Wade stepped to the free-throw line, his eyes focused on the same. After putting the basketball into the basket accurately, the five-point gap between the Mavericks and the Warriors was instantly closed.

This time, James didn't smile because of Wade's excellent performance. He knew very well that once this brother broke out, he would have nothing good to eat.

35-35, the game of the Christmas war is still scorching. A good defensive strategy and Wade's excellent play have made the Cavaliers a little overwhelmed.

However, Yiyang hasn't started to play today......
