"Dididi!"

The referee's whistle blows and both sides are in position.

It was Zajunas-Ilgoskas and Bitlins who jumped the ball, and as usual, Bitlins failed to jump again.

At 2.21 meters, Zajunas Ilgoskas is one of the few "long" in the league today, and he is nearly 10 centimeters taller than the average center, giving him strong blocking and defensive ability.

Zajunas Ilgoskas, who was selected by the Cleveland Cavaliers at No. 20 in the first round in the 1996 NBA Draft, was selected as an All-Star twice in 2003 and 2005, and is one of the few All-Star centers in Cavaliers history.

Like his predecessor, Sabonis is a typical center player in Europe, with long-range attacking ability, a high basketball IQ, and the ability to use physical confrontation reasonably, and the big Z is fully thanks to his early training in Lithuania.

As a teenager, he played playmaking guard, then small forward, and finally moved to the center position. The fly in the ointment is that his assist ability is far inferior to Sabonis's, and his defensive ability is insufficient.

But Big Z's defensive skills are still commendable, relying on his own experience on the court to make up for the disadvantage of his own physical fitness, the only regret is that due to physical problems, his lateral movement and defense can be described as more than enough and not enough, and the natural muscle type is destined to be the kind of strong man who fights with opponents on the inside.

In this Cavaliers team, Big Z can either force an attack on the offensive end or score a layup after shaking the opponent with realistic feints.

His low-post singles and high-post jumpers are both sharp weapons for the Cavaliers' offense, and when the first point of attack, the little emperor James's offense, is blocked, Big Z relies on his height and technical advantages to open up the situation for the team's offense.

It can be said that when James first entered the Cavaliers in 2003, Big Z was already a veteran of this team, and he played for Cleveland for 7 seasons at that time.

After the big Z jump shot was successful, he did not give the ball to the point guard Damon Jones, but passed it directly to the little emperor James.

The experience of the finals has made James more and more prominent this season, and under his leadership, he has won all four games.

After holding the ball for half time, James motioned to his teammates to pull away, wanting to break through and find his touch. After hitting Stephen Jackson twice with his back, James accelerated hard with his right foot and broke to the left to get rid of Jackson in an instant.

Under the conscientious card position of Vallejo and Big Z, James made an easy layup.

After scoring, James high-fived his teammates and signaled to return to defense, which shows that James is very high in nature today.

"James breaking through Stephen is like breaking through an old lady, is Stephen really on defense?" Barkley exaggerated James' breakthrough.

Of course, Stephen Jackson is defending, but in front of James's historic tank body, even if Stephen is resolute, he still looks weak.

And that's just the beginning.

The Warriors' offense can't tear through James' perimeter defense, and even when Byron Davis, Monta Ellis, and Stephen Jackson are running wildly on the court, James can always help the defense.

James seized on a passing error from Byron Davis and steals the fast break.

Rushing to the basket, the young body fell from the sky, and the basket made a loud noise under the force.

It was just a microcosm of the game, with Larry Hughes scoring two points on a three-point shot in the first quarter under James' tandem.

After that, James broke through to Vallejo, and the actor who was in his prime gave Al Harrington, who wanted to perform, a hard shot, and made one of two free throws.

The next time the Warriors attacked, Monta Ellis finally found a breakthrough and relied on tactics to beat Larry Hughes a 2+1.

But then the Warriors fell into a scoring drought again, scoring only 18 points in the entire quarter, leaving Nelson, a veteran coach known for his offense, a gloom.

And the Cavaliers seem to have recognized Harrington's bad defense on the inside, and repeatedly broke through.

With one minute left in the first quarter, Harrington had already committed two fouls, and the veteran coach had to replace Petrus.

At the end of the first quarter, Li Zhi sorted out his jersey, and it was not surprising that it was time for the coach to change himself.

Sure enough, the old man called Li Zhi's name, and Li Zhi came on the field

"James, let me finish you!"

Li Zhi said secretly in his heart.

However, there is always a gap between reality and imagination, James shook hands with Li Zhi with a smile, but he did not give face at all when attacking.

Li Zhi used the Anthony experience card, but he was still regressed by James.

Many people think that Anthony's defense is poor, and besides, it is normal for Anthony Jr. to not be able to withstand James.

In fact, this is a wrong thinking.

Anthony can run rampant in the NBA with a body of tendons, although his physical condition is not as good as James, but it is not about the same.

The reason why Anthony has been criticized for poor defense after becoming famous is mostly due to attitude, as well as relative to players of the same level.

Generally speaking, Anthony's defense is above average.

Li Zhiyu remembers a game between the Pistons and the Knicks in 12, the melon did not feel good, but the shooting rate of the opposing players in the defense was below 30%, helping the team to win.

In the previous life, there was even a piece of data mentioning that the melon defense small forward PER is 12.8, James is 12.7, Durant is 10.5, and pickled pepper is 12.0, so Durant has the best defense small forward, and the melon is the worst, but it is only 0.1 different from James.

To get back to the point, Li Zhi was uncomfortable by James, and suddenly a flash of inspiration made Li Zhi suddenly take a step back.

That means to prevent sudden attacks and not let go, this is Li Zhi's strategy.

James' shooting, which has been criticized since entering the league, has improved a lot today, but it still cannot be used as a conventional weapon.

James' killer move is still to break through and organize the whole team.

James was unbalanced by Richie's sudden unloading, barely took a few steps, and made a shot.

"Bang", the basketball smashed out of the basket.

Al Harrington grabbed the rebound and ran forward, and Byron Davis and Monta Ellis opened their hands for the ball after halftime.

Shi Lezhi's Al Harrington completely ignored the two and rushed straight to the basket without people.

"Boom!"

El Harrington slammed the ball into the basket, imagining Richie's appearance.

From the huge cheers on the field, it can be seen how much hatred he has for Li Zhi.

Byron Davis and Monta Ellis looked at Harrington hanging on the basket for a while, and went up to ask Harrington for clarification, but Monta Ellis stopped him.

Li Zhi was also depressed for a while, how could there be such a teammate.

Old coach Nelson saw this scene and asked for a timeout to replace Harrington.
