The Cavaliers' second-half starting lineup took almost everyone by surprise, with Brown playing Gibson, West, Hughes, James and Ilgoskas, and no one knew what he meant by switching to a big four at this time.

The only one who wasn't frightened was Chang Wei, and he didn't think it was a big or four small lineup. In his previous life, James appeared more in the No. 4 position after fully entering the maturity period, and he performed quite well. The stats show that he's a good fit for the power forward position, and in a way he's the kind of wing player who can play inside in a small-ball game.

Chang Wei didn't guess wrong, in the first offensive round of the second half of the Cavaliers, James calmly raised his hand to ask for the ball in a deep position on the inside. After West hit the ground and passed the ball to him, James hit a few back-to-back singles like a pure interior player, and forced a layup against Milicic to help the Cavaliers score the first two points of the second half.

If you don't look at his appearance and number, this is simply a guy who has been begging for a living on the inside. James' back-to-back singles made Milicic feel extremely ashamed, because he became the backdrop for this attack and also brought out James's strength advantage. Jackson also looked solemn, he originally thought that the Cavaliers wanted to forcibly speed up the pace of the game, but he didn't expect Brown's real purpose to let James enhance the strength of the Cavaliers' interior line, and this adjustment simply caught him off guard.

If James played restrained, Jackson might not be so worried, but in fact, just that goal, James adopted the most traditional inside play, and the pace or anything was completely unpickable. To make matters worse, James' power allowed him to eat well on the inside, and letting him swing up to the No. 4 position undoubtedly raised the strength of the Cavaliers interior at least a notch.

With James on the inside, it will be difficult for the Bobcats' twin towers to take advantage of on the defensive end. It's true that when the team is offensive, they can use their height to hit the ball on James' head, but when defending, they can do little in the face of James' ball-handling singles, let alone pass the ball to the right teammates at the right time.

However, James scored more on the inside, and instead of shrinking the defense as they had done before, the Bobcats left him to the two big men on the inside. Milicic withstood James, and Gasol Jr. helped defend, so they could limit James's singles well, but they still had a hard time limiting this guy's passing. In addition to passing to teammates on the perimeter, James will also pass the ball to Ilgoskas in extremely tight spaces, allowing the latter to score with his trademark big hook.

Thanks to James' excellent play on the inside, the Cavaliers were on par with the Bobcats in the third quarter, with James scoring 11 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 blocks in a single quarter, and did not let the Bobcats pull the score away.

Jackson's face was very ugly, and his original idea was to take a double-digit lead in the third quarter, not to mention turning the fourth quarter into garbage time, at least to hit the Cavaliers' morale hard. But I didn't expect James to be so effective as a power forward, except for his lack of height, he is no different from any interior player, and even better.

Obviously, the fourth quarter is not going to continue with the previous strategy, and Jackson has to adjust to it. Chang Wei also saw that the team was in trouble, he thought about it for a while, and said to Jackson: "Why don't we withdraw Classe and let Jason defend LeBron?" ”

Jackson looked at him suspiciously, and asked in a low voice, "What kind of adjustment is this?" Do you think Jason can do something that Darko can't do? Don't lose all the original height advantage of our inside line when the time comes......"

"Damon, it's a matter of style. I know Darko is better than Jason in terms of height and weight, but the fact is that he's a tech stream, and Jason is more used to using his body to solve problems. He's the usual black and hard, and he's very tough. Darko will subconsciously step back against LeBron's back-to-back singles, and Jason will go up to the top, and I think I can try. ”

"Okay, okay, your brain hole is still as big as ever." Jackson complained, "But now it seems that we have no other way to deal with it, there is only one last quarter left in the game, and hopefully Jason can surprise us!" ”

When Jackson told the players about the change, there was no big deal on it, and so did Milicic. The past quarter of the game was a nightmare for him, as the team's power forward, James had to play against him almost every offense, and he even began to wonder whether the No. 23 had flesh and blood or steel and gears in his body. Every back-to-back single made James feel like a wall was on him, and now that he had rested for a while, he still felt a dull pain in his chest.

Now the coach has to adjust the lineup and let Marc Hill go up to face James, then let him try, anyway, Milicic feels that he still needs time to catch his breath, and the pressure on James just now is too great.

To Jackson's surprise, Mark Hill did work well after his debut, and although it could be seen that he was also feeling some pain when James was playing with his back to his back, at least he still forced James' push and didn't take half a step back. And Mark Hill also moves at a good pace, and James' shots rarely go undisturbed by him.

With Mark Hill limiting James, the Bobcats returned to playing their familiar basketball, but this time they mostly used the breakaway to score and try to get James' personal foul. With 7:13 left in the fourth quarter, James had already picked up his fifth foul, and Brown replaced him as soon as he was safe, ready to wait until the final minute to play.

However, as soon as James got off the court, the Bobcats immediately played a wave of small climaxes, forcing James to return to the game less than 2 minutes after he got off the court. But at this time, the situation on the court has been held by the Bobcats, and their lead has reached double digits, even if James can score again, it will be difficult for the Cavaliers to turn the tables, and the Bobcats are not soft persimmons that can be pinched casually.

Brown regretted that he had replaced James early, but what could be done? If he continues to keep James, who has already committed five fouls, on the court, the Bobcats will focus on attacking him, and the final result may not change much. James was desperate in the final minutes, but he couldn't stop the Bobcats, who easily beat the Cavaliers 111-100 on their home court, making it 3-1, and now they only need one more win to advance to the Eastern Conference Finals, and the team's morale has reached the highest level since the start of the series.
