……

May 9, Game 2 of the Eastern Conference semifinals, Time Warner Center.

The Bobcats are aiming for another win and a 2-0 win on the road to Cleveland, but this game, Joe Hai has come up with his new routine.

"Kendrick, you don't participate in an infinite change of defense in this game, your position is fixed to the basket in the penalty area, and if LeBron James breaks through to the depths, you go up to help defend."

Perkins nodded, followed by Josh Smith.

"Josh, your mission is different today." Seeing Josh Smith looking at him very seriously, Qiao Hai continued: "Your task is to wander around the middle distance, and if LeBron James breaks through to the middle distance, you step forward to help defend. ”

In the end, Qiao Hai looked at Andre Iguodala: "Andre, your task is the heaviest in this game. ”

Iguodala nodded, and Qiao Hai continued: "You have to defend LeBron James, and you don't change the defense, but pay attention, there is a knack for defending James, defending his right side, preventing him from breaking through, putting him on the left side, forcing him to attack with his left hand." ”

"Understood?"

Iguodala nodded twice, "Understood, boss." ”

"Then let's get ready to play, and hopefully we can win this game!"

……

The infield at the Time Warner Center, the Bobcats and Cavaliers starters are already on the field, and both teams are regular starters with no changes.

Kendrick Perkins and Zarunas Ilguskas stepped into the center circle, ready to jump the ball.

The referee blew the whistle, the basketball was thrown high, Big Z gently toes, raised his hand to the basketball, the cavalier got the basketball, and Eriksno controlled the ball and advanced to the front court.

LeBron James went around the wing to the top of the arc and got the basketball, and James in the playoffs, both offense and defense have improved by at least one gear.

In this ball, James singled directly and broke through Andre Iguodala's defense.

Iguodala defended exactly as Qiao Hai asked before the game, defending James's right side, putting James's left side, James broke through on the right side, and was quickly blocked by Iguodala.

The Bobcats did not help defend for the time being, because James was not deep, and in the face of a defense that Iguodala was completely biased to the right, James could only shake it to the left and raise his hand to shoot.

Bang, didn't go in.

Josh Smith grabbed the rebound, Time Warner Center burst into applause, and on the sidelines, Qiao Hai also turned his head and said to his assistants: "See, LBJ's left side can't break in, and he can only jump shots, which is one of his weaknesses, a weakness that many people don't know." ”

Elvin Gentry gave Joe a thumbs up.

On the court, after grabbing the rebound in the Bobcats' offensive round, the Bobcats directly played a wave of counterattacks, Chris Paul got the ball, hit the frontcourt, and directly accelerated, passing Eriksno, who was defending him.

The Cavaliers' defense has not been completely settled, after Paul passed Snow, he was immediately empty, facing a big z who couldn't make up for it, Paul turned around again, directly erased the last line of defense of the Cavaliers' defense, and finally, a low hand layup!

Chris Paul celebrated with a fist on his elbow after the goal, and the Bobcats scored first, opening 2-0.

While the Bobcats retreated, the Cavaliers served in the backcourt, LeBron James got the ball directly, he pushed directly to the frontcourt, and Iguodala kept retreating, continuing to stare at James's right side.

In this ball, James once again chose to play alone and continued to break through from the right side, but Iguodala blocked James again, only defending James' side, which was still very easy for Iguodala.

So, James was intercepted again, and he could only use a backdribble to shake Iguodala and then break straight from the left.

This time, James didn't choose a jump shot, but after bouncing to the left, he continued to break through.

However, James' habits and technical characteristics made his change of direction seem a little deformed, and under the pressure of Iguodala's sideways, he directly lost the ball.

"The ball fell, Andrea Iguodala cut the ball accurately, and it worked!" McBrin in the commentary box exclaimed.

Then, the Time Warner Center burst into cheers.

Andre Iguodala and got the basketball, turned and ran towards the frontcourt, while behind him, Michael Reid and Chris Paul on the left and right, followed by a chasing LeBron James.

"Three to one in the frontcourt, Bobcat's counterattack!"

The Bobcats countered as quickly as they could to the frontcourt, and Iguodala was constantly threatened by James' pursuit, so he chose to pass the ball directly.

"The ball is on the right side, Michael Reed catches the ball, jumper from beyond the three-point line!"

Michael Reed, who was completely empty and unguarded outside the three-point line, glanced at the basket, and then shot directly, and with a bang, hit!

"Michael Reed's three-pointer is too solid, the Cavaliers can't give him the slightest bit of space!"

The Bobcats' counterattack was successful, opening 5:0, the Cavaliers served in the backcourt again, and LeBron James had already found that the Bobcats' defense against him should have changed.

So, in the next offensive round, he didn't pass the ball, but singled again and made another attempt.

As a result, the goal was scored, but it was very difficult to score, facing Iguodala on the right side of the main defense, James burst once, was blocked, and then used his strong physical fitness, accelerated again, ran over hard, and finally made a layup.

Although this goal was scored, James played very hard, and it can be said that it took a lot of effort to barely score a goal.

After this goal, James began to frown, and he suddenly realized that the Bobcats in this game seemed to have changed their defensive strategy against him.
