Chapter 596: Paul Silas's Adjustment (3/4)

After Michael Reid scored, Paul Silas was a little anxious, and he suddenly found that if the Bobcats' space was not compressed, the Bobcats' offense was indeed a bit sharp, and it was the kind of sharpness that was visible to the naked eye.

The Cavaliers' offense was still LeBron James's ball, he advanced to the top of the frontcourt arc with the ball, and then faced Iguodala's defense again.

Iguodala still took a step and completely put on a shot that only defended James.

LeBron James opted for the pass again, but his teammates were clearly not so good, and Jeff McGinnis received the ball for a few seconds and couldn't find too many opportunities from the Bobcats' infinite defensive tactics.

So, the ball was passed to James again.

James received the ball, and with 6 seconds left in the end, Iguodala continued to let him go, he hesitated, and between the breakthrough and the direct shot, LeBron James chose to shoot directly.

But with a bang, the shot hit the iron, the basketball popped high, Michael Reid picked up the rebound, turned his head and began to fight back.

In a quick counterattack, Steve Blake received the ball and threw it in the penalty area and easily scored 2 points.

One offense and one defense, the Bobcats' suppression of the Cavaliers is already quite obvious, and on the offensive end, James's defensive way of putting a step forward against Iguodala is completely helpless, and on the defensive end, unless Paul Silas makes adjustments, otherwise, the Bobcats' offense is not threatened.

The Cavaliers served in the backcourt, and LeBron James still held on to the ball and did not let go.

He controlled the front court and continued to face Iguodala's one-step defense, but this ball, James played very decisively, as soon as he arrived in the front court, he directly soared up the speed and began to break strongly.

Iguodala didn't resist it all of a sudden, and was directly knocked away by LeBron James, who rushed up.

Beep!

The referee blew for a foul and Iguodala for a blocking foul.

The Cavaliers hadn't fouled yet to come, so they teed off the sideline.

After sending the ball, LeBron James took the ball and it was a direct breakthrough, Iguodala didn't dare to defend hard, he dodged a few times, and Steve Blake had to clip it.

But in the bottom corner, there was an empty space in front of Jeff McGinnis, LeBron James broke through the ball, Jeff McGinnis received the ball and shot, and successfully hit! A two-point tie on the line.

The Bobcats serve in the backcourt, and Steve Blake continues to quickly bring to the frontcourt.

Then, he gave the ball to Tang Zhendong, Datang took the ball in a high position, Michael Reed came around from the left sideline, and another hand to catch the ball.

He then continued on his right, past another cover by Tony Kukoc, and then got a chance to play big with a small one.

Michael Reed directly raised his speed and rushed in, resisted Drew Gooden's defense, made a layup, and scored 2 points.

On the commentary bench, Greg Anthony continued to shake his head: "The Cavaliers have given the Bobcats too much space, if they continue to play like this without making adjustments, the Bobcats will soon be able to break the Cavaliers' defense." ”

Paul Silas is still hesitating, he doesn't want to call a timeout in such a short time to open the game, and at the moment, it seems that LeBron James's individual ability can keep the Cavaliers' offense from collapsing, so he chose to hold on for the time being.

……

The Cavaliers' offense, LeBron James continued to take the ball, and the Bobcats continued to use Andre Iguodala as a single defense, or let it go.

In this ball, James still broke through decisively.

But this goal, Iguodala retreated more decisively, defended very well, and stopped James without losing his position at all.

James didn't get a chance to break through as a result.

Then, he could only choose to shoot directly, and with a bang, it didn't go in again.

The Bobcats grabbed the rebound and tried to hit a wave of counters, but the Cavaliers dropped back quickly and they couldn't find a direct scoring opportunity.

But up front, Steve Blake held the ball, flanks Iguodala and Michael Reed made a pick-and-roll off the ball, and then, Blake's pass found Iguodala who cut into the box.

At this time, Big Z has not yet returned to the defense in place, so this is an opportunity for an empty basket, and Iguodala pulls up a violent dunk! The Bobcat scored 2 points again!

The Bobcats scored four points in a row and quickly took a four-point lead with a score of 8:4.

At this point, the game had only just started a minute and a half, and Paul Silas was still reluctant to adjust.

In the next wave of offense, LeBron James was again a strong inside, but in the end, with Iguodala's interference, he missed a layup.

In the opening, LeBron James was a three-in-a-row, and under Iguodala's defense, it seemed that he couldn't find his touch at all.

And the Bobcats grabbed the rebound and played another wave of counterattacks in the fast break.

The Cavaliers' retreat was still very fast, but Steve Blake hit the inside line with the ball, and the Cavaliers shrank directly into the restricted area, and then, Blake passed the ball to the bottom corner, Michael Reed scored three points in the bottom corner, and hit it directly!

In the opening two minutes, the Bobcats played a wave of 11:4 directly, and this time, Paul Silas finally couldn't stand it anymore.

With a beep, the knight called a timeout.

"The Cavaliers finally took a timeout, and Paul Silas obviously couldn't stand his team's performance, LeBron James shot 0 of 3, while the Bobcats' offense was a series of shots, how to play."

"If you don't adjust, this game will be going to take place soon."

……

After a pause, Paul Silas immediately began to adjust his defense, and he kept emphasizing: "Shrink the defense, except for leaving people to stare at their three-point shooters, all the other players shrink into the three-point line and cut their formation!" ”

Adjusting the defense was the first step, and then, Paul Silas turned to LeBron James: "LeBron, break through and be decisive!" Do you understand? An Andrea Iguodala can't stop you! ”

LeBron James kept nodding with a cold face, and at the beginning, his performance was really bad, so he could only admit his problems.

……

Qiao Hai guessed Paul Silas's adjustment very easily, so his countermeasures were also very simple: "Tony, you go to the high position, plan the attack, and we start to play our set of tricks." ”

Defensively, Qiao Hai didn't make any adjustments, because he knew that Paul Silas couldn't make more adjustments, and the Cavaliers' offense only had one move - LeBron James's breakaway shot.

Therefore, the Bobcats only need to stick to their previous defensive strategy and continue to put a step to defend LeBron James' breakthrough.

……

"At the end of the timeout, there were no substitutions for both teams, especially on the Cavaliers' side, Paul Silas called this timeout, and it should have been just a few minor adjustments."

"Now, the game is restarted, and whether the Cavaliers can reverse the seven-point deficit depends on Paul Silas's adjustment."
