"Bang", James' opening three-point trial shot ended in iron, James didn't say a word, he happily accepted the fact that his three-point shot hit iron, turned around and ran to his half.

In the past few seasons, James's three-point shooting rate has been hovering below 35 percent, this kind of voice is familiar to him, generally he will shoot three points to test the water at the beginning, and if he shoots, he will increase the proportion of long-distance shooting, and if he can't shoot, he will continue to impact the basket.

Josh. Smith jumped high and picked up the backcourt rebound, and Pachuria, next to him, was still entangled with Ilgoskas and Gooden.

After the run-in since the start of the season, the Eagles' two interior lines have a good tacit understanding, Pachulia is responsible for the opponent's interior card and hand-to-hand combat on the ground. Smith was in charge of interceptions and pick-ups in the air.

Sun Yue slowly controlled the ball over the half, signaling Pachulia to pull out to block and dismantle, today the center of the Cavaliers is the two-meter-two-one Ilgoskas, if you don't play the block, it is definitely a self-defeating martial arts, can the clumsy Ilgoskas delay them after the two of them are separated, seeing that the Eagles began to play a high block, Mike. Brown's brow furrowed.

Mike. Brown's fears soon followed, as the tall Ilgoskas was powerful at the basket, but his defense was too slow to keep up with the Hawks, as if the other four Cavaliers were in the same rhythm and he was in the other rhythm.

I saw that after a simple block at the top of the arc by Sun Yue and Pachuria, Ilgoskas couldn't keep up with anyone at all, and he didn't defend at all, he stayed behind the free throw line, and when the two were separated, he went directly to the basket to defend.

After receiving Pachulia and not going to the basket, he pulled away and received a pass from Sun Yue on the wing, and easily hit a mid-range shot to take the lead for the Hawks.

During this time, Pachulia stepped up his training in close-range and mid-range shooting, and his blocking and pick-and-roll cooperation with Sun Yue began to become an important tactical part of the Eagles.

In less than three minutes of the first quarter, the Cavaliers only relied on a breakthrough point from James to give Hughes a mid-range shot and Ilgoskas to score points, while the Hawks used continuous tactical cooperation to score ten points in a row, and forced Mike with a ten-to-four offensive climax. Brown called a timeout.

The Eagles scored eight points out of ten in the opening game by Sun Yue and Pachuria, each of whom scored four points, either Sun Yue directly broke through Ilgoskas to score a layup, or Pachulia took advantage of Ilgoskas to prevent the shooting and scored, so the Hawks only relied on a simple blocking and pick-and-roll cooperation to make the Cavaliers unable to parry.

The Cavaliers' defensive problems are mainly with Ilgoskas, and Ilgoskas's problem is mainly that he can't defend at all, although the Cavaliers' outside players are very good defensively, but in the face of the Hawks' simple but direct attack on the Cavaliers' weaknesses are inadequate.

So after this timeout, Mike. Brown used Don Yell. Marshall replaces Ilgoskas.

After the game restarted, James burst to the Hawks basket twice in a row and successfully scored, once on the basketball, one foul and two free throws, and the effect of this substitution was immediate.

Timeout for the substitution of Donyer. Marshall is an interior shooter whose three-point shot is his primary scoring weapon. Marshall played only 28 minutes, scoring a career-high 38 points and 10 rebounds, hitting 12 three-pointers, tying the NBA's all-time record for three-pointers in a single game. Gooden also has an accurate mid-range shot.

As long as the opponent's interior line is empty enough, James can rely on his speed and power to wreak havoc on the opponent's penalty area.

In the offseason, James strengthened the training of speed and strength, which further strengthened the power of James's breakthrough, and now the league generally uses "heavy tank" to compare James's impact power, which means that unless two or three people are surrounded and intercepted, his impact can be limited, even if the San Antonio Spurs and Detroit Pistons are fast and tacit defensive teams, at least one person must follow the defense, and one person can limit him to the pig.

But in this way, the Cavaliers' outside line will inevitably leak out, and as long as they can convert James' passes into goals, the Cavaliers are a very effective team.

The Hawks, on the other hand, defended according to the strategy arranged by Woodson before the game, insisted on man-to-man defense against James, and resolutely did not wrap it up, and if James was killed alone, he would admit it.

But Woodson asked the players to kill the other Cavaliers players except James and not give anyone else any easy chance to score.

In fact, this kind of defense is simpler for the Eagles, as long as everyone does not lose their position, they can watch their own one-acre three-point land.

James was aggressive in the first quarter, and the idea of the little emperor with a high basketball IQ was very simple, since the Hawks insisted on defending him alone, then he had to play the Hawks to take the initiative to change their defensive strategy.

The Eagles, on the other hand, became Sun Yue and Josh. Smith blocked and picked up, and then relied on Sun Yue's breakthrough to create a chance to shoot. The tactics did not change, but the people who executed the tactics changed, and the Cavaliers replaced Ilgoskas, which meant that Pachulia did not have the advantage of foot movement. Smith was clearly a smart move to execute the pick-and-roll strategy.

The offense of both teams is simple, but the defense is very different.

The Cavaliers were quick on the defensive end, and seeing that the Hawks' pick-and-roll offense was a big threat, the Cavaliers immediately changed their defensive strategy.

Mike. Although Brown is often blackmailed as a spectator sitting on the bench, he has done a good job of researching opponents and setting up pre-game settings, and he is also very targeted. During the game, after each pause, the effect was also good. But what he is worse at is the ability to adapt on the spot, which is mainly reflected in the slow speed of calling a timeout, perhaps because he has not thought of the coping strategy.

On the offensive end, Mike. Brown simply left this decision to James, letting him decide how to play on the court, and how he wanted to play, which is why many people ridiculed him as an assistant coach of the Cavaliers.

But "defense" is what Brown is best at, and the Cleveland Cavaliers have been among the best in the league in limiting opponent shooting percentage this season, and Sun Yue quickly experienced the Cavaliers' defense, and he increasingly felt that there were more and more people around him, and there was less and less room to play.
