"Do we have to say this routinely......" Charles. Barkley scratched his bare scalp helplessly, "Welcome to the 2014-15 Eastern Conference Semifinals G2 game broadcast live on TNT, which will accompany you through this wonderful evening...... God, I feel like one of those announcers on the morning news, it's not my style at all! ”

Kenny, who was smiling just now. Smith and O'Neal immediately put on indifferent expressions, and Kenny reached out and patted Barkley's thick shoulder, "You know, Charles, we're working for TNT, and it's our job. ”

"This kind of work is better suited to Ernie...... Mozgov got to the basketball first, and the first chance to attack belonged to the Clevelands! Barkley immediately got into the groove after a muttering sentence, "As usual, LBJ takes over the first offense and pulls the offense to the top of the three-point arc from the No. 4 position, which is a red flag for the opponent." However, the Heat's lineup is estimated to be a little embarrassing for LBJ, and he is still facing Ruhr. Deng, an old rival who has fought many times. ”

"As the small-ball style permeates more and more deeply in the league and vertically, I think LBJ will encounter more and more of this as well. Just like the Warriors, the front and guard lines can seamlessly switch defenses on the defensive end, which is not good for a team like the Cavaliers, whose star singles are the main offensive method. "Kenny. Smith raised an eyebrow and continued.

LeBron. James watched the entire half from the top of the arc, and of course he knew that the position of the power forward didn't make his own defensive intensity less, but there was no way to do it. In the last game, the Cavaliers were almost reversed when the opponent lacked two main forces. Miller and Mozgov's slow interior speed couldn't keep up with the Heat's fast breakback under Addison's leadership, resulting in frequent disjoints on the defensive end. The Cavaliers coaching staff thought about getting the team up in this game, so they put on a lineup of Irving, JR, Shambaugh, and James. Even David. Blatter also didn't plan to let Mozgov play for too long, and simply put LBJ on the top of the No. 5 position at the critical moment and put on an extreme small-ball lineup.

The reason why the Cavaliers are interested in Mozgov's meat shield ability is because the Heat previously had Wade and Whiteside, who could play hard in the low post. Now that these two are both sidelined, it can be said that the Heat team has no players who can cause low-post damage, otherwise Espoelstra would not have signaled the team to speed up and play against the Cavaliers in the last game. As a result, Mozgov's on-field value has dropped dramatically, and his slow movement can also hold the team back when they return to defense.

LBJ at the top of the arc observed that J.R. Smith shook off Daniel Granger by quickly changing direction without the ball, and quickly went around to the right mid-range with the help of Mozgov's cover on the inside, and immediately passed the basketball over. Smith caught the ball on the right wing and scored two points from mid-range to open the scoring for the Cavaliers.

"From the opening start, the Clevelands were a little bit more aggressive than the last game, and at least I finally saw a blank cut without the ball." Although Barkley was complimenting, the sarcasm in his tone was clear, which made the Cavaliers fans who had just changed their opinion of him angry again.

"Obviously the Cavaliers are reading the opponent's lineup, Daniel. Although Granger still retains good skill and awareness, his frequent injuries have begun to deteriorate. If the Cavaliers' shooters continue to use off-ball runs to find open space against Granger in this game, it may make the Miamins' perimeter defense very passive...... That is, of course, if the Clevelands shoot well enough. O'Neal analyzed the Cavaliers' tactical changes.

Spoelstra also thought of this situation, and he was very interested in Daniel. That's exactly what Granger was worried about. If LBJ had been raising the three-point line to organize the offense, then Ruhr, who had been moved out of the high post. Deng will certainly be less effective in helping defense, but the Englishman is the Heat's defensive center right now. No more Ruhr. Deng's wide-ranging defense, the Heat's crisis from the wing to the interior will increase dramatically.

Spoelstra had considered letting Taylor before the game. Johnson is the starting point guard, but Johnson, a first-year rookie, has extremely little playoff experience and is likely to be played by the Cavaliers' on the defensive end. Taylor. Johnson is not a terrifying existence like Addison, whose cunning level is comparable to that of a twenty-year-old bird in the Mixed Alliance, and his awareness at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends is still relatively naïve.

There are two hits...... Spoelstra glanced at David opposite. Blatter, a little more recognition of this head coach from Europe. Originally, the head coaches who grew up in the NBA would be somewhat dismissive of outsiders, but now Spoelstra really put away the instinctive contempt in his heart.

It's just a change of formation, and it makes Ruhr. Deng's large-scale defense was broken. David. Blatter is clearly working the Heat, and has enough knowledge of the opponent's strengths and weaknesses on the defensive end. From these points of view, Blatter is definitely a good and committed head coach, and his pre-game preparation and squad scheduling can be called the best in the league.

***

Addison took the serve and took the half court unhurriedly, and now more than 70% of the ball is concentrated in the hands of Chinese point guards in every offensive round of the Heat. There is no way to do it, Wade, the only two players in the starting lineup who can kill with the ball, has been reimbursed for the season, and all they can do now is trust Addison as much as possible.

Conventional tactics are naturally the same blocking and dismantling for thousands of years, Alexy. Atkinsa ran inside to block Shambaugh and gave Addison a brief chance to shake off the defence. Ruhr. Deng ran to the outside of the three-point line, pulling LBJ away from the Chinese point guard, the Englishman who scored 28 points in G1, James couldn't let the opponent run out of the open no matter what.

After the previous matchup, the Cavaliers' defensive strategy is already very obvious. Shambaugh squeezed past Aginsa and tried his best to catch up with Addison, and JR. Smith on the wing also decisively let go of Ennis, who was being marked by himself, and wrapped up the Chinese point guard. Addison didn't panic in the face of a tight defense, and it wasn't the first time he had attacked under this level of defensive pressure as a core point guard. Lightly switch hands in front of the body to put the basketball in the right hand and change direction towards the right side of the free throw line, as far away from JR Smith's defense as possible.

Kinsa's cover cut caught Smith's attention, and Mozgov on the edge of the box didn't dare to put up paint to block Addison. The Chinese point guard suddenly pulled the ball back when he moved to the vicinity of the horns, and quickly pulled away more than a body distance from the chasing Shambaugh, and jumped up slightly backwards.

This back-to-back jumper that was pulled to the other side of the corner after the cover was Edison from Chris. The offensive style Paul learned from him is also a trick he used frequently in the second half of the season. In the case of the ball carrier's skillful ball control skills and a precise mid-range shot, pulling to the other side of the horn position can often find space for himself to shoot in time, as long as the opponent does not take the inside line to raise the tight defense of the penalty area.

"!!Shh The basketball was well thrown into the net, and Shambaugh's block didn't do anything. This annoyed the Cavaliers' swing guards, who had been suppressed by Addison since the last game, and this game was opened by the opponent's mid-range shot, which made Shambaugh instantly have a very bad premonition.

Spoelstra nodded in satisfaction amid the boos at the Quick Loan Center, and he hoped that Addison would be able to fire on his full firepower and show off his strong scoring form and scoring **. Now Addison can no longer just play the role of ball control playmaker, he wants to be the "smiling assassin" in the finals, the freak who can score 25 points in a single quarter with a leg injury.

After witnessing the basketball into the net, Addison quickly ran back to his own half of the court, clapped his palms and signaled his teammates to quickly complete the defensive positioning. Carey. Irving dribbled the ball to cover up, and this time he was going to finish the offense himself.

"You guys can be really scary sometimes......" Irving whispered as he faced the Chinese point guard who was holding down his center of gravity, "but today is my victory day, boy, and I'll let you see." ”

Addison's response was only an indifferent roll of his eyes, and the guy in front of him was always used to talking a few trash words when he was facing himself, and he didn't know if it was because of absolute confidence or because he wanted to relieve his tension. However, the Chinese point guard did not dare to slack off on Irving's defense, and the whole world knew that it was for Kyrie. With a millimeter of space, Irving can figure out how to get the basketball into the basket. As the league's leading scorer and big-hearted player, his lethality can be instantly revealed.

Like to test how you're feeling tonight, Carey. Irving didn't call for cover, but gradually picked up the pace of his own dribbling. Addison followed his opponent to the right 60° with his feet, and a couple of matchups this season have shown him that the 60° to the right of the three-point line seems to be Irving's favorite area to attack, especially singles.

"Irving is obviously going to play singles, so let's see how he's going today?" Kenny. Smith was amused by the scene, smiling as he looked at the two young men on the field.

The basketball slammed across the floor under Irving's crotch, and the Cavaliers point guard took a big step forward with his right hand, forcing Addison's left leg back and shifting his center of gravity. However, Irving then quickly dribbled the ball behind his back, and the basketball came to the left side of his body, which was pulled by the Cavaliers point guard. Addison's body was a bit out of position, but his strong physicality played a role, his center of gravity pulled back with a startling speed, and he took a step with his right foot to block his opponent's change of direction.

As if he had calculated Addison's reaction, Owen pulled the ball with his left hand and turned around with his body in reverse, just right to set aside the opponent's lateral movement.

"Turn around! Carey. Owen got past Addison's defense! ”

Addison, who had been erased, had no time to be annoyed, and hurriedly turned around and chased after Owen, who had cut inside from the right side. However, when the opponent burst to the edge of the paint area, he deftly took a step towards the baseline direction, and then jumped up and threw the basketball softly with his right hand against Atkinsa's busy blocking.

The basketball went over the center's arm and fell into the Heat's basket in a sleek arc.

"Oh!! Carey. Irving singled out the Heat's defensive system! He's in great form!! ”
