Chapter 691: Normal and Abnormal James (5/5)
The Bobcats' offense, Chris Paul took the ball, waited for Josh Smith's cover, and after the cover, he went straight to Drew Gooden.
Then, Paul accelerated again, directly past Gooden, and the Cavaliers could only assist in defense, but after assisting in defense, they leaked on the strong side.
Defenders on the weak side can only make up for it quickly.
After the Cavaliers' defensive rotation ended, the Bobcats also completed the transfer of the ball, Paul first distributed the ball to the perimeter, Iguodala took the ball, attracted the defense, and then scored another point to the weak side.
It was Michael Reid who received the ball, and the jump shot outside the three-point line, with a bang, went in again!
"Michael Reid hit another three-pointer, 8:2 in the opening game, and the Bobcats took a lead in the opening game, so to speak, this game entered the rhythm of the Bobcats again."
The Cavaliers' offense, LeBron James held the ball again, and after successive breakthroughs on the right side failed, this goal, he directly chose to break through on the left side.
Passing Iguodala on the left, James rushed straight in with the ball, but soon, Josh Smith came over and struck from mid-range.
James was also quick to score, splitting the ball directly to the wing, and Drugouden received the ball and shot a mid-range jumper.
Bang, didn't go in.
The Bobcats grabbed the rebound and fought back again, and Andre Iguodala went straight into the box from the flank, caught the ball in a tomahawk dunk, and scored two more points.
At 10:2 in the opening period, McBrown could only call a timeout.
……
In the opening game, the Bobcats once again established a not small lead, and in the next game, the Bobcats continued the opening tactical strategy, continued to defend James's right side of the attack, and adopted a co-defense strategy for the left side, and James was limited by the Bobcats' new defensive strategy at the beginning.
The opening 2 shots and 1 turnover were just the beginning, and more than four minutes were played in the first quarter, and when the game entered the first official timeout, LeBron James's personal data was 2 of 6 shots, 4 points, 2 rebounds and 1 turnover, and the performance was very bad.
The Bobcats also led the Cavaliers by six points at 16-10 midway through the first quarter.
In the second half of the quarter, Johi replaced Gerard Wallace and Danny Granger, and took Iguodala and Josh Smith off to rest.
The defensive strategy on the court remained the same, LeBron James continued to be heavily defended, and the rest of the Cavaliers' players were completely dumb, playing iron continuously in the second half of the quarter.
James didn't step up at the critical moment when the Cavaliers needed to score, he only took the ball twice, once forced a successful break down the right side, and then hit a layup.
Another time was for a foul on Gerard Wallace, who made one of two free throws from the free-throw line.
Other times, James has been trying to break through on the right side, but every time he can't break through, he makes all kinds of passes, and in the end, the Cavaliers' offense collapses directly.
At the end of the first quarter, the Bobcats led the Cavaliers by 14 points at 30:16 in a single quarter.
And LeBron James's personal data in the first quarter of the game was a dismal 7 shots and 3 shots, with 7 points and 3 rebounds, because his teammates had a dismal shooting rate, only Big Z and Larry Hughes scored singlely, and none of James's points finally formed an assist, so in the first quarter of the game, James's assist data was also zero.
"The Bobcats were surprisingly good at limiting LeBron James, and in the first quarter of the game, LeBron James only had 7 points, 3 rebounds, and no assists, which is obviously lower than expected for James."
On the commentary bench, McBrin and Marv Albert were also surprised by James' individual performance in the first quarter.
"James's data in the first quarter of the game is not bad, just lower than expected, but if you put aside the data, James's personal performance is actually even worse, the Cavaliers' offense is completely dumb, and James is helpless in the face of the Bobcats' defense, which is completely opposite to the previous games of the Cavaliers against the Bobcats."
"Previously, in the Cavaliers' 8 regular season games and 1 playoff game against the Bobcats, LeBron James's personal data was very good, and once LBJ fans had a famous saying: The Cavaliers lost LeBron didn't lose, but obviously, if the Cavaliers lost this game, LeBron didn't lose This sentence is not true."
At the beginning of the second quarter, James rested for three minutes, and in these three minutes, the Cavaliers' offense turned on, and the singles of Big Z and Larry Hughes scored continuously, and the Cavaliers once chased the difference to within 10 points.
However, before James came on the court, Michael Reid scored a three-pointer from the outside, and the margin returned to 10 points, and then, James played.
James came on, and Joe Hai was replaced by Andre Iguodala.
Iguodala again faced James, who continued to defend James on the right and had Josh Smith on the inside.
However, in this quarter, James completely entered the full Zhan mode, all kinds of forced breakthroughs, completely sparing physical strength, breaking through in a row in the half quarter, shooting 2 of 4, and also making a three-point foul, after scoring 7 points in a row, the difference was narrowed to single digits.
In addition, the Cavaliers' Royal Salute also opened fire, with Alexander Pavlovich and Daniel Gibson hitting back-to-back three-pointers, and in the second half of the quarter, the Cavaliers closed the gap between them and the Bobcats.
After halftime, the score was 58:50, and the Bobcats still led the Cavaliers by 8 points, but in this quarter, they were beaten 34-28 by the Cavaliers led by Zhan Zhan, and they were directly reclaimed to a 6-point advantage.
At halftime, James's personal data also became a 5-of-11 shooting, 14 points, 3 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 turnovers, and it looked like everything was back!
McBrin also shouted at halftime: "This is LeBron James!" This is the normal state of LeBron James! ”
But on the other side, in the home team's locker room, Qiao Hai said to his assistants: "LeBron James played a quarter of individual offense, and the data seems to have returned to normal, but this kind of high-intensity individual offense, he is difficult to maintain, and the second half is our chance!" ”
Then, he stood in the center of the locker room: "In the second half, we continue the tactical strategy of the first half, Andre, continue to defend the right side of LBJ, Josh and Kendrick, you are ready to help defend LBJ's breakthrough." ”
The players nodded their heads and the second half of the game began quickly.
At the beginning of the third quarter, James appeared on the court, and his style of play was the same as in the second quarter, still a strong burst at the expense of physical strength, but in this quarter, the Bobcats defended James faster.
James' passing was also faster, and as soon as the help defense came, he directly split it, and Pavlovich, who was free from mid-range, scored another two-pointer, and James got an assist.
The Bobcats completely ignored the help defense to pinch James, which gave James a lot of passing opportunities, but at the same time, James's individual offense was also locked in.
played half a quarter of the game, James's shots were still zero, he kept passing, but only two assists were passed in the opening game, after that, the Bobcats' rotation defense speed accelerated, and the vacancy on the strong side was blocked continuously, James wanted to assist, so he could only transfer the ball in a wide range and transfer the ball to the weak side.
But it is too difficult to move the ball in a wide range and easy to make mistakes, and James in order to directly assist, he continuously transferred the ball in a wide area, but only added a few mistakes to his technical statistics.
In the second half of the quarter, the Cavaliers' offense was locked up by the Bobcats.
In the third quarter, the Bobcats, who had improved defensive intensity, beat the Cavaliers 27:18, and in this quarter, LeBron James had 0 points, 2 rebounds, 2 assists, and 3 turnovers, and he became an abnormal LeBron James again.
