Chapter Seventy-Nine: The First Battle of the Second Round (2)

James did not panic when he saw that he was caught in the bag.

After all, as the first person in the league, being caught is a common thing, and James has long been used to it.

This time, he's going to try to see if he can beat the bag and score the ball.

If they can score in this situation, it will be very beneficial for the Cavaliers.

James looked at the situation on the court to judge how to crack it.

"James is going to fight himself!" Kenny. Smith shouted.

Zhang Zifeng's opening performance seems to have stimulated James. James looks like he's going to return the color! Barkley said.

"It's going to be a very exciting match!" Reggie. Miller nodded.

Putting the ball down, James dribbled tentatively a few times to watch his opponent's reaction.

Grant and Ibaka constantly changed their defensive positions as James moved, and for a while James couldn't find space to break through.

Since you can't ask your opponent, then go hard.

In the blink of an eye, James made a sharp effort, and after getting close to Grant, he suddenly turned around and dribbled, and then cut right, relying on his strength to jam Grant behind him and kill the inside.

As James jumped for the layup, Ibaka jumped up for a block.

In order to dodge Ibaka, James pulled the rod with the power of his abdomen and threw the ball to the basket in the air.

The ball bounced off the basket and bounced off.

Knoll was about to grab the rebound when Thompson jumped up and grabbed the ball.

Although the ball was scored, anyone with a discerning eye could see that the ball was played a little reluctantly.

In fact, Grant and Ibaka have been practicing this tactic for a long time in their usual training. Even in order to achieve suddenness, in the league, the 76ers did not use James.

This is the first time, and it seems to be working well.

It's going to be a big test for the knights.

But are the knights really restricted?

No, James is the number one monster in this league.

Although both Grant and Ibaka have good defense. But James can pass and shoot.

Whether it's in himself or a legend who has made it inside, he can tear through the 76ers' defense.

In addition, in addition to James, the Cavaliers also have Irving and Love, they are all strong players with good offensive ability.

After James was restricted, the Cavaliers' offense relied more on individual skill and also scored consecutive points.

For a while, the 76ers and the Cavaliers were having a lot of fun.

But if the whole Cavaliers play like this, then the only thing left is that the 76ers' strategy has succeeded.

The 76ers forced the Cavaliers to rely on individual ability to play alone, with no tactics to speak of. And with such a high-intensity defense, just look at ...... Will James be able to keep his fitness until the end.

Tyronn Lue watched the game for half a quarter from the sidelines and saw the 76ers' way of dealing with James - wrapping James!

Limit James, drain James' stamina.

Tyronn Lue made a tactical gesture that Lefu immediately understood.

When Zhang Zifeng received the ball, Smith was in front of him, and Lefu was ready to fill in at any time in the back.

In the face of Smith's stalking and Lefou's eyeing, Zhang Zifeng didn't care.

A few back and forth, he didn't attack with the ball now, he chose a more suitable way to attack, running without the ball.

Brett. Brown saw that he thought to himself was preparing for the needle on the tip of the wheat?

Strangling each other's trump cards?

Brett. Brown sneered. Unlike the 76ers, it is better to limit James's influence on the Cavaliers than to limit Zhang Zifeng's influence.

You must know that James is not only the Cavaliers' leading scorer, but also the actual offensive playmaker of the Cavaliers.

Although Zhang Zifeng is the 76ers' top scorer, Rondo is the actual offensive organizer of this game.

The Cavaliers focused their defense on Zhang Zifeng, and the rest of the 76ers moved much easier.

Especially Rondo, you must know that Rondo's best thing is in organizing the team's attack.

Although Rondo's shooting is unreliable, if he is allowed to kill the inside, he can be a great scorer.

His breakthrough dunks, big layups, and small throws are all very good.

Lefu was pulled away by Zhang Zifeng, and the inside line was a lot empty.

In the face of Irving, Rondo used cover and broke through to the inside.

The active audience of this Rondo can see that in a game like the playoffs, you can see that Rondo is excited and active.

Especially when the head coach decided that Rondo would completely control the ball in this long game, Zhang Zifeng cooperated with Rondo, which made him want to perform well.

Facing Rondo's activity, Owen felt a lot of pressure.

Now the 76ers are clearly targeting themselves and treating themselves as a black hole in the Cavaliers' defense.

Once he loses, Irving can imagine what kind of criticism the media will make of him after the game.

In order not to become a shortcoming of the team, Irving defended more carefully than ever.

But defense is not your own effort, it will definitely work.

Years of experience and a big-picture view on the pitch have given Rondo a very clear idea of where his teammates are running on the field, and as soon as he breaks through the inside line, he can deliver the ball as soon as his teammates are open.

His teammates were watched, and he was able to break through his own breakthrough layup.

Rondo's threading made it easy for the 76ers' offense, scoring one after another.

Seeing the implementation of Zhang Zifeng's bag clamp, it didn't have much effect, Tylen. Lew had no choice but to abandon the trap tactic.

Lefu did not interfere, Zhang Zifeng immediately used the reverse run to get rid of Smith's custody and run out of the vacant seat.

Rondo's pass was also delivered in time, and he jumped up to catch the ball.

Smith's interference did not disturb Zhang Zifeng's shooting rhythm, and the shot was still stable and fast.

"What a beautiful gesture!" Reggie. Miller shouted, "Zhang Zifeng's shooting posture can be used as a textbook for other players to learn." And compared to last season, it feels like he's shooting faster this season. Zhang Zifeng is stronger! ”

Also thinking about it is Reggie. Miller, and the other opponents who were watching the game couldn't help but sigh.

In the ninth minute of the first quarter, the 76ers led the Cavaliers by five points, 27-22.

Watching being led by the nose by the 76ers.

Cavaliers Coach Tyron. Lu saw the heart and said: It seems that a change must be made. Otherwise, this game is going to be terrible!
