Chapter 16 Collective Bright Sword, the New Little Triumvirate of Knights

"Hey, they thought they could win. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info" Yuan Shu said.

"I think we're cruel." Owen shook his head and said with a nonchalant expression.

"I don't think it's fun." Yuan Shu replied with a smile.

"I think you're really cruel." Leonard replied with a blank face.

"I'm going to be serious." Yuan Shu shook his arm and twisted his neck at the same time, making a "click" sound of bones rubbing.

"Me too." Owen continued.

"The second quarter should be me and Yuan first, and you will be on the second half." Leonard's words poured cold water on Owen.

Irving seems to have forgotten Scott's practice of rotating two of the three to lead the players through the transition between the second and third quarters.

In the second quarter, the Pacers took the lead in the game, and they were very hopeful of tying or even overtaking the score at the beginning of the second quarter, when Granger was replaced by Vogel and rested, George was pushed to the small forward position, and Dundee Jones, who had a good three-point shot and defensive ability, came off the bench. In this way, Leonard was directly opposite George.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Leonard used a kraft-like tight defense, which made George feel very uncomfortable, this kind of oppressive defense without the ball has never been encountered in George's previous games, but this is also normal, this is the first time that George has really taken on the responsibility of the team's first offensive player in a major way.

However, George's first conversation with Leonard ended with Leonard's successful defense, and the Pacers' cooperation did not find a flaw in the Cavaliers, and when the 24 seconds were about to expire, George's barely missed shot, and the rebound was obtained by the Cavaliers.

And Leonard, who had just had a successful defense, immediately scored 2 points with a hard rebound after a breakthrough in the converted offense.

"You know, sometimes offense is the best defense!" This is what Leonard learned from his love of rugby before the ninth grade, in the game of rugby, if you want to win the game, you can only keep attacking, and if you only want to rely on defense to solve the opponent, the result is only a dead end.

This has also become Leonard's motto to play basketball in the future, in Leonard's heart, a really good defensive player, offense also needs the same sharpness, so as to continue to put pressure on the opponent at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, if only defensive ability, the ability to score offensive is almost negligible, and can even be completely emptied, such a player even if the defensive ability is strong, it is definitely not the object of their own learning.

If you want to find a target to learn from the league's "best defensive player" in recent times, Gary Payton, who can attack and defend well, has a clear mind, and is nicknamed "The Gloves", is undoubtedly the best candidate. Being able to attack and defend well is also Leonard's goal that he is strict with himself.

Under Leonard's continuous pressure on the defensive and offensive ends, George's play was not as bright as the first quarter, and he began to get entangled with Leonard.

At this time, Yuan Shu began to kill all sides on the inside, and Yuan Shu, who has 5 90+ attributes, turned Hibbert and West upside down on the inside.

At 10 minutes and 38 seconds into the second quarter, Yuan Shu used his back to hit and carried West to the basket, and then turned around and hit an easy close-range shot.

At 9 minutes and 40 seconds, Yuan Shu grabbed the rebound that Parker missed with a three-point shot in the front court, and completed an aerial dunk directly in the air through Hibbert! Poor Hibbert was still waiting for the ball to fall into his hands, when he felt that his back was pumped by a stick, and then he felt the pressure of Mount Tai, and Yuan Shu grabbed the rebound one step ahead of him, and dunked it into the basket with both hands!

At 8 minutes and 50 seconds, Yuan Shu received Davis's aerial relay, grabbed the ball in the air with almost his entire head above the height of the basket, and completed a powerful and heavy slam dunk.

6 minutes and 25 seconds, Yuan Shu once again hit the muscular man Tyler Hansbrough, who replaced West on the inside back, but Hansbrough, who was confident in his muscle stick, was chiseled into the inside line by Yuan Shu as soon as he came up, and was turned around by the opponent to dunk and score, Hansblu, who was knocked to the ground, looked confused, as if he didn't know what had just happened.

5 minutes 08 seconds, Owen who re-appeared on the court sent an assist to Yuan Shu with his first touch of the ball, and Jamison, who also came off the bench, passed the ball from the inside to the outside of Owen's hand, Owen glanced over, Yuan Shu immediately leaned on Hansblu, who was defending himself, to complete a 180° turn, and jumped at the same time at the moment of Owen's pass, just completing a wonderful aerial relay!

In just the first half of the second quarter, Yuan Shu relied on his strong offensive strength on the inside, scored 10 points, and contributed 3 rebounds and 1 block on the defensive end, and his performance was simply terrifying.

Leonard contributed 5 points, 2 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal and 1 block after the comprehensive data, after Irving was replaced on the court, George was entangled by Leonard in the second quarter The entire first half of the first quarter finally breathed a sigh of relief, under Leonard's defense, George, who was hot in the first quarter, only shot 2 of 7 in 6 minutes, scored 4 points, and did not make free throws.

Before Irving came on the court, the difference between the two sides had been stretched to 10 points.

After Irving came on the court, he relied on his speed to continue to destroy the Pacers' defense with Yuan Shu, and after Yuan Shu scored 10 points in just 6 minutes, the Pacers began to resolutely implement the inside package on Yuan Shu, and the avalanche tactics can only always maintain a 1v1 single defense tactic, which is completely unable to contain Yuan Shu's offense.

After Yuan Shu stifled almost half of the Pacers' defensive attention, Irving began to lie on the court again.

Originally, Darren Collison was also a guard who was known for his speed, but compared with Owen, he made a judgment, in fact, Collison can't be blamed for this, mainly because Owen's first step was too fast, and when Collison reacted, Owen's steps were almost halfway through!

In the face of Collisson, Irving, who obviously has an advantage in height, relied on the space left by the opponent's worries about his breakthrough, and frequently hit the opponent's already fragile inner defense with jump shots, and when Collison finally couldn't stand it and began to defend at close range, he suddenly switched to speed to destroy the opponent.

In the case of Yuan Shu, Leonard, and Irving, the Pacers were lost at the beginning of the second quarter like Danny Granger, who had a sluggish performance in this game, George's performance was normal, but Hibbert did not seem to have recovered from Yuan Shu's shocking dunk from the beginning until the end of the game.

At the end of the game, the scoreboard was 104-88, and the Cavaliers had won three straight games at the start of the regular season!

Yuan Shu, who collectively showed his sword, scored 28 points, 14 rebounds and 4 blocks, Leonard scored 23 points, 8 rebounds, 4 steals and 2 blocks, Irving scored 24 points and 9 assists, and the three of them combined to score 75 of the team's 104 points!

After this game, ESPN gave the Cavaliers a very high rating: the new season of the Cavaliers is eye-catching, just like last season's fantastic start, this season the Cavaliers have two new faces in the starting lineup, they are Kyrie Irving and Kawhi Leonard, plus last season's rookie Yuan Shu, they form a younger Cavaliers Little Three! Trust me, this Cavaliers will be an amazing team.

It was also from this ESPN report that the reputation of the Cavaliers' new Little Big Three spread.

After the Cavaliers-Pacers game, Hibbert sat in front of his closet in a daze, his eyes glazed over, and his eyes didn't move for a long time......
