Jackson walked to the sidelines, shouted Roy's name, and gestured at him a few times. Chang Wei saw clearly from the side, this was the meaning of letting Roy let go of the attack, and it seemed that Jackson couldn't bear to continue to grind with his opponent.

Roy was on fire, and he was already a great scorer, but the task of helping the team sort out the offense meant that he had to take some of his energy off the score. And now that the coach is asking him to score hard and not show his offensive firepower, Roy himself knows that this game is important for the whole series.

In the face of West's defense, Roy no longer chose to break through the routine of the ball, but let his teammates all pull away, and he and West were one-on-one. The Cavaliers were supposed to let James defend, but now he's trying to fight Mark Hill on the inside, who won't allow him to pull up the high post to defend, so he will have to rely on West to limit Roy.

As a sophomore, Roy's experience and skill have reached the league's top level, and West's defensive ability is really good, but it's just a piece of cake in front of him. Facing West, who was waiting for the battle, Roy shook continuously and then forced his way to the three-point line against the opponent, and then pulled up a pull-up jump shot before James could make up the defense.

Roy's mid-range shot is his sharpest weapon, using it even more often than the three-point shot. James tried his best, but he still couldn't touch the basketball, West was even more sad, he could only follow behind after being passed by Roy, and when Roy made an emergency stop, he rushed over again, almost collided with James, and could only watch Roy score.

Roy tried the same trick on West three times in a row, and scored in all of them, one of which also caused a foul on Ilgoskas, who was on guard against Ariza who cut to the basket and suffered a small loss. West's expression was very embarrassed, and he looked worthless in front of Roy.

After conceding three straight shots, West decided not to let Roy break through and let him shoot from the outside. If this was all cast to death by Roy, then he would have confessed to it. As a result, West's face quickly turned black as the bottom of a pot, and he pulled away to prevent Roy from breaking through, but he didn't expect the latter to shoot three points directly, and more importantly, the three-point shot actually went in, which made West quite embarrassed.

Brown's face was not good-looking, and he had to reinstate the team's regular lineup and then let James defend Roy. After these few games, he can see that it is difficult for the outside players of the Cavaliers to limit this sophomore rookie, and the only one who can compete with him may be James, and he has to admire the good luck of the Bobcats when he thinks of this.

A smile appeared on the corner of Jackson's mouth when he saw the Cavaliers substitution, and he also replaced Markhill with Milicic to reform the twin towers. Roy's personal offensive firepower has indeed weakened after facing James, but this does not mean that the Bobcats' offense will be affected, Roy can completely hand over the ball to Gasol Jr. in the high post and switch to playing without the ball.

The reunion of the twin towers was undoubtedly the straw that broke the camel's back, and they tumbled under the basket and sent the ball into the basket in a variety of ways, as if the game was a repeat of the previous one. The Bobcats' morale was completely up, and they led the Cavaliers by 12 points at halftime, 62-50, which didn't seem like much, but there was a huge gap in momentum between the two sides.

Jackson gave the players a lot of chicken blood in the visiting locker room at halftime, and now that the Bobcats are only 24 minutes away from advancing to the Eastern Conference Finals, if everyone pushes around, it may not be impossible to turn the final quarter into garbage time.

"I know LeBron and his Cavaliers are strong, but we're stronger than them!" Jackson stood in his chair, brandished his tactical board, and spat on, "Boys, there are only two quarters left until you reach the division finals for the first time, are you willing to give up the victory in this game and drag the promotion to the next game or the next game?" ”

"Don't leave them any room to turn the tables around, if you can knock them over in the third quarter, then don't drag it out until the fourth quarter! I believe in you, and please believe in yourself, what you can do, let's kill them in the second half and march to the East Finals! ”

The atmosphere of the entire locker room was stirred up by Jackson, Chang Wei crossed his arms and shook his head with a smile, but he didn't plan to go up and pour cold water on everyone now. Players need to be cool heads in the game, but on the other hand, momentum can also allow them to perform at a much higher level than normal, as they are now fighting for their future.

At the beginning of the second half, the Cavaliers, who had returned slightly to normal at halftime, were beaten by the Bobcats and couldn't hold their heads up, except for James and Ilgoskas who could still score inside, everyone else's shots were basically interfered with by the Bobcats' players, and after a wave of 8-0 mini-climax, the Bobcats have extended their lead to 20 points.

Although the Cavaliers tried hard to close the gap, the Bobcats firmly controlled the situation on the court, and now they wanted to be as fast as they wanted, as slow as they wanted, the Cavaliers were dragged into a dead dog, and only James still had the fighting spirit to deal with them. It was also relying on James' 15 points in a single quarter that the Cavaliers were not further widened by the Bobcats for the rest of the third quarter.

But for them, it's not enough, and not being able to close or even tie the score means defeat. In order to stop James from making trouble, the Bobcats, who already had a huge lead, replaced Jack with Allen in the fourth quarter, with the aim of limiting James' play. Jackson has realized that James has every chance of changing the outcome of the game, and he must make sure that nothing goes wrong.

When Brown saw that James was in trouble, he sent in a series of troops in the hope of providing some help to his number one star, but unfortunately he failed, and the other players of the Cavaliers were so poor that no one but Ilgoskas could help James. With Allen and Ariza tangled, James had only eight points and four rebounds in the final quarter, while also making three turnovers, and finally the Bobcats defeated the Cavaliers 111-95 to advance to the Eastern Conference Finals with a total score of 4-1.

However, after the game, the Bobcats players did not linger too much in the locker room, after all, it was in Cleveland, and if it was too much to celebrate, it could cause unnecessary conflict. But everyone seemed excited, and after the press conference, Jackson planned to lead the team back to Charlotte as soon as possible, where they would be able to celebrate the victory with impunity.
