For Sun Yue, the potential star of the Hawks, the Cavaliers' coaching staff conducted a special study on him before the game, and today in the position where Sun Yue likes to break through the pass, the Cavaliers often arrange heavy guards in advance, and then force him to pass the ball, and finally intercept his pass in the passing route.

Although Sun Yue is not very comfortable with the Cavaliers' high-intensity "rush and encirclement" defense, it is impossible for the Cavaliers to rely on this method to limit him.

Mike. Brown's face became darker and darker off the court, and he found that although this defensive method limited Sun Yue's passing, Sun Yue's own scoring became easier, and the original Cavaliers players focused their defensive attention on Sun Yue's passing, but ignored Sun Yue's shooting, so that Sun Yue played more and more confidently, and the more confident he was, the more he dared to shoot.

At the end of the first quarter, the score was 25:25, and the two teams that were difficult to distinguish ended the first quarter of the competition.

Although the defense of both teams in the first quarter was very targeted, it did not make much difference.

Whether it is James, who has 13 points and 3 rebounds, or Sun Yue, who has scored 14 points on 6-of-7 shooting, they have not been limited by their opponents.

Zhang Qi, who was watching the game on the sidelines, couldn't believe his eyes, is this still Sun Yue, who used to be inaccurate in the vacant jump shot at the Beijing Chaoshen Club?

Zhang Qi was not the only one who was surprised by Sun Yue's crazy performance in the first quarter, but the home fans on the sidelines were all stunned. I can't believe how Sun Yue could vote so accurately? You must know that 14 points in a single quarter is already the highest score in a single quarter since Sun Yue started.

Gotta say this pot Mike. Brown had to carry it well, and the defensive tactics he arranged against Sun Yue in this game not only did not limit Sun Yue, but allowed him to play the best quarter of his career so far.

Actually, you can't blame Mike for this. Brown, Sun Yue is playing too few games now, and the teams in the league don't know enough about him, and the Cavaliers' defensive strategy obviously didn't hit his soft underbelly, but instead allowed Sun Yue to play his best, which can be regarded as a test of the law.

In the second quarter of the game, James returned to the bench to rest, and the Cavaliers' bench lineup immediately became a bunch of rookies, and even the Hawks' bench lineup, which has always been ridiculed by Atlanta fans as a broken piece of copper, couldn't beat it.

After just over two minutes of the quarter, the Cavaliers were already trailing by five points. Brown saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly replaced James, who had not rested for long.

Before the game, he also wanted to solve the Eagles quickly, but now not only can he not achieve the set goal, but he may be quickly defeated by the Eagles.

James only rested for two minutes on the bench before going back into the game, and the little emperor at this time was definitely a man of steel, and his physical strength was at his peak, even if he played 48 minutes, he would not have cramps.

Sun Yue, who was sitting on the bench, could only watch as James continued to carry Al. Harrington and Childres' defense forced the ball in.

In the seventh minute of the second quarter, James first used his speed to force a breakthrough through Al. Harrington, then flew over Joe with a rugby ball. Johnson.

The force acted on each other and knocked Joe away. Johnson's James was also forced to stop, and then jumped with both feet off the ground and then dribbled with a tomahawk-style one-handed slam dunk, "clang", and smashed the ball into the basket.

In the game, James will suddenly stop after dribbling, and then jump with both feet off the ground and then dribble to attack the basket, which is laughed by many insiders as "crab step". Although this action is a step violation according to the current rules of the NBA, in reality, James's "crab step" is often tacitly approved by the referee. This caused a lot of controversy in the NBA, but in the end, James, the little emperor who represents the future of the NBA, won. James is the focus of the NBA's support and is taken care of a lot by the referees, which often makes opponents helpless.

James' rampage narrowed the gap between the Hawks' scores, and Woodson had to wave his hand to signal Sun Yue to get ready to play, Sun Yue had just gotten up from the bench and was ready to play, and the Atlanta fans in the arena immediately cheered him thunderously.

They feel that as long as Sun Yue is off the court, this game will not be in the control of the Eagles.

Mike. On the defensive end, Brown likes to use numbers and high-intensity pressing defense to drive opponents away from the box, trying to keep defenders in mid-to-long-range shots, while keeping opponents away from the rim to help them protect their rebounds.

This defensive style gives full play to James's perverted physical advantages, and few players can easily control the basketball organization offense in the face of multiple presses under the leadership of James, and all kinds of mistakes and hasty shots will follow.

Sun Yue, who was preparing to play on the technical table, watched off the court for a long time and found that the Cavaliers' closing speed around the people with the ball was really fast, and the people who controlled the ball would be caught by the Cavaliers once they passed the ball slowly. However, he found that the Cavaliers' defense today relied on numerical superiority rather than defensive intensity to exert pressure, and there was always a feeling of being strong on the outside.

"Haha, I see, they just played back-to-back games yesterday, so they didn't have enough intensity on the defensive end today." Sun Yue quickly figured out what was going on, even James, who has always had unlimited physical strength, did not use too much energy on the defensive end today, but used most of his physical strength on offense, so the defense of the Cavaliers today is simply a showmanship, and it is just useless.

As the head coach of the team, Woodson naturally also found the Cavaliers' outside strengths, and this time he sent: Sun Yue, Joe. Johnson, Childis, Josh. Smith, Pachuria, all five of them have the ability to pass the ball.

The Cavaliers' defense really wasn't long-lasting enough today, and the start of each round was pretty good, with fast foot movement and defensive rotation. But as soon as the Eagles' basketball could be carried a few more times, the Cavaliers' rotation began to slow down. The players didn't seem to be bothered to move, and the overall movement became slow, and they soon couldn't keep up with the Eagles' offensive tempo.

"If you force up the tempo of the attack. Instead, the back-to-back Cavaliers reduced the impact of physical fatigue. Sun Yue found that he couldn't force himself to play fast today, but he had to combine fast and slow and pass the ball more, so that it could consume the little physical strength that the Cavaliers' players had left.
