"Come on, LeBron, I hope you are happy with this gift we have for you." After hitting the opening emergency stop jump shot, Meng Xu waved to the audience at the scene, and retreated to the backcourt, and when he retreated to the top of the arc, Meng Xu stopped directly and waited for James there.

Like the Pacers, the Cavaliers with James don't need a full-time playmaker, a two-way guard who can shoot three-pointers, have a certain defensive ability, and can also control the ball, the role of a playmaker in this tactical system is far greater than that of a playmaker, after all, James can also play a playmaker, and James's playmaking ability surpasses most of the playmakers.

may have been stimulated by Meng Xu's opening attack, the Cavaliers' attack, James actually began to hold the ball in the backcourt, you must know that in the previous games, Larry Hughes basically carried the ball through the half court, and then handed it over to James to organize.

Meng Xu is very supportive of James's plan to return his goal, and he appreciates it very much, if James doesn't even have this thought, then how can he become an awe-inspiring superstar, so when James has not reached the top of the arc, Meng Xu directly posted it.

James held the ball in one hand, leaning sideways on Meng Xu, while Meng Xu was with his arms outstretched and his body slightly arched, it seemed that the offensive and defensive battle between the two was about to break out, and the reporters in the press box on the sidelines also raised their cameras in their hands, ready to record this historic moment.

Meng Xu is currently the best small forward in the league and the first small forward in NBA history, and James is the "successor of Meng Xu", known as the strongest small forward after Meng Xu, so for the showdown between James and Meng Xu, these good reporters are still looking forward to it, perhaps in the hearts of these reporters, they are also looking forward to James overturning Meng Xu's domination in one fell swoop, after all, they like James a little more than Meng Xu.

However, just after James leaned sideways on Meng Xu and began to exert his strength, Meng Xu suddenly took several steps back, retreating directly from above the top of the arc to near the free throw line before stopping.

"Huh?" Looking at Meng Xu's defensive choice, a burst of doubts broke out at the scene, especially those reporters who were still waiting to record the wonderful moments of James and Meng Xu's one-on-one, and they put down the camera in their hands for some reason, and looked at Meng Xu, who had retreated to the free throw line with a confused expression.

Not to mention the audience and reporters at the scene, even James was confused at the moment, and after pushing Meng Xu sideways, he took advantage of the situation to complete the turn, looking at Meng Xu, who retreated to four meters away from him, he was also a little overwhelmed for a moment, James really couldn't imagine that Meng Xu would defend himself in this way.

But soon, James's face became gloomy, although his technical characteristics are very similar to Meng Xu's, and some offensive methods have been tempered to be on par with Meng Xu, but there is only one thing James can't catch up with Meng Xu, that is, three-point shooting and mid-to-long-range shooting, since entering the league, Meng Xu's three-point shooting rate has not been lower than 40% in a season, and the highest season has even reached 45%, while James is not, since he entered the league for four seasons, The best season was only 35%, the rest of the seasons hovered around 30%, and in this season's playoffs it slipped to only 26%, so under normal circumstances, James rarely shoots three-pointers.

James, who was standing at the top of the arc with the ball, looked at Meng Xu, who was far away from him, and was really embarrassed now, if he didn't shoot this ball, then in the later games, the Pacers would definitely let him shoot three points more unscrupulously, but if he missed, the impact would be even worse.

"LeBron, don't hesitate!" Looking at James, who has been standing at the top of the arc for two seconds, Mike Brown on the sidelines is anxious, the more this situation is, the more you can't hesitate, even if you don't miss the shot, it doesn't matter, I'm afraid that I won't dare to shoot after getting the ball, the more you do this, the more crazy the Pacers will definitely be.

"It looks like the Pacers have grasped the Cavaliers' soft underbelly, and the Cavaliers are going to have a hard time playing this game." Michaels, who was on the sidelines commentary seat, shook his head after seeing James's situation, young, this is the price to pay for being young, in this case, James either made a decisive shot, or broke through directly, standing in place and being overwhelmed like James is definitely the worst offensive choice.

"It's not just that it's not easy to fight, the knight is doomed." Although after Michaels finished speaking, James made a three-point shot on the spot, but looking at James's lack of confidence when he shot, and the arc after the shot, Magic Johnson knew that this goal would definitely not be scored, and this offense was just the beginning, it can be expected that in the later games, the Pacers will definitely intensify the empty James and let him shoot three points, even if James's psychological quality is strong, it will be constantly weakened by missed shots again and again. If you change to a player with poor psychological quality, it is estimated that it will almost collapse after half the game.

"Mike Brown called a timeout." James missed a three-point miss, Mike Brown called the first timeout of the game just 30 seconds after the opening, and saw Mike Brown call a timeout, Magic Johnson also turned his head to look at the Pacers' bench, looking at the expressionless, but powerful and confident Rick Carlisle, Magic Johnson praised in his heart, Larry Bird's little brother is now more and more famous and handsome.

"LeBron, don't hesitate, don't hesitate, even if you miss, you have to make a decisive shot, understand?" On the bench of the Cavaliers, head coach Mike Brown who was standing next to James almost said these words with a roar, if James is just a role player, as long as he is in the same situation just now, Mike Brown will not hesitate to replace him off the court, but James is the core of the Cavaliers, is the pillar of the Cavaliers, if James is still as hesitant as he was just now in the back of the offense, then the Cavaliers have no chance at all.

"Larry, Alexander, you two have to run, you have to move, don't stand there waiting for LeBron to pass you the ball, understand?" After educating James, Mike Brown called Larry Hughes and Alexander Pavlovich over to clean up, hoping that their runs would be more aggressive, and not just like they were, standing there like a stake and watching, even if James wanted to pass the ball to them, he couldn't find a suitable passing route.

After just one round of the opening game, the Cavaliers were in a very unfavorable situation, and Mike Brown as head coach is also trying to make changes to reverse this unfavorable situation, but reality and intuition tell Mike Brown that he and his team will be difficult to turn around today because the Pacers have now pinched their shots.
