Chapter 259: It's really cool to hit the back
The other players on both teams of the Cavaliers and Warriors were still in the midline position, and Li Zhi had already rushed past with the ball, and James was running behind.
It seems to be the arrangement of fate, the reversal of time, or the good reincarnation of heaven, James held back his strength, and rushed to the sky at the moment when Li Zhi made a layup, and a top hat made Li Zhi's fast attack go in vain.
The Cavaliers fans stood up excitedly and cheered, this offense and defense were really shocking.
"What retribution!"
"The one who dares to be wild in front of the emperor has not yet been born!"
"That's strength, there's only one king in Cleveland!"
……
Cavaliers fans were still immersed in cheers, but Li Zhi was not in a daze because of a block from James. Just like Li Zhi beats Durant every game, Li Zhi is also used to James hats. James has to cap Li Zhi every time he plays against Li Zhi, and as a courtesy, Li Zhi will break him several times.
Therefore, when James was on top of the big hat, Li Zhi, who had just landed, jumped up again, and in James's hideous gaze, Li Zhi slapped the basketball outside the three-point line. Richmond's shot was just right, and Crawford was standing just outside the three-point line, and the latter received the basketball and did not hesitate to shoot a three-pointer.
5:2
The Cavaliers attacked, and the Warriors continued the wheel battle to consume James. James didn't attack himself in this round, Byron Davis broke through from the left side with the ball, James went around the baseline to the weak side, and Biedrins came up on the other side to cover Byron Davis.
When Nelson saw this scene, he immediately had a familiar feeling, this was their previous tactic. Many people say that the styles of the Warriors and Cavaliers this season are extremely similar, and no one can say who imitates whom.
Nelson borrowed from the Cavaliers' tactics and put Lee in a James-like role with the Warriors, single-handed, breaking packs and creating opportunities. And the Cavaliers also borrowed from the merits of the Warriors, Byron Davis and Biedrins are both veterans of the Warriors, and they were the face of the Warriors before Li Zhi came to the Warriors. So this summer, the Cavaliers not only traded two strong stars, but also got the Warriors' semi-bombardment tactics, which can also be said to be half of the "Black Eight Miracles" team.
Byron Davis was injured, but there was no change in the play, and he played extremely smart, and he didn't go inside to fight Jordan Jr. With Biedrins' cover, Byron Davis moved a step to the left and then made a pull-up jump shot.
5:4
The Warriors attacked, and the Cavaliers used a joint defense in this round, with Liji and Crawford being pressed on the perimeter, and others being forced to attack with the ball. The Cavaliers' defense escalated without warning, and just now James made a gesture at the Cavaliers players, and then the Cavaliers immediately changed formation.
Li Zhi and Crawford didn't get the ball at the two points of possession, David Lee took a step after receiving the ball and dribbled a direct jumper, but unfortunately the hand was not good and the basketball did not score.
Biedrins grabbed the rebound and didn't hesitate to pass the ball to James. James immediately fast-attacked with the ball, and Byron Davis and Anthony Parker followed James closely. The Warriors were caught off guard by the Cavaliers, and the score came to 5:6.
Nelson frowned as he watched the change in the knight's strength. Li Zhi also felt inexplicable, this was only the first quarter, why didn't he let himself catch the ball, could he be more shameless?
The Warriors attacked in the next round, and the Cavaliers once again did not let Li Zhi and Crawford receive the ball, and the two points that the Warriors could break through the most were pressed, and David Lee could only preside over the offense. Jordan Jr. and David Lee played a small area of cooperation, and the latter turned and jumped, and this time it went in.
7:6
James James frowned, David Lee would be terrible if he opened it.
James organized the ball with the ball, and Li Zhi really wanted to go up and give this thing a hard time, and then ask their coach in person: "Why are you shameless?" Don't let the ball be caught in the first quarter? ”
is the so-called coming and not being rude, Li Zhi went up directly and entangled James, if you don't let me catch the ball, you don't have a good time.
Nelson looked at Li Zhi's actions and was a little stunned, and said in his heart: "George is a little excited about this game!" ”
If Li Zhi knew Nelson's thoughts, he would definitely smack the old man's face, you couldn't catch the ball in the first quarter, and you were in a hurry.
Li Zhi knew that he couldn't defend James with his physical confrontation alone, so he used the skill of Death Coiling this time. James seems to be still competing with Li Zhi, holding the basketball high with one hand, but he just doesn't pass the ball?
Li Zhi is angry, this TM is teasing me? You think the Warriors are all Curry, right?
James was standing like that, directing the knights, but he heard something in his ear that he didn't understand.
"I'll your grandma!"
Li Zhi jumped up and dropped the basketball in James' hand with a bucket, and Crawford saw this and pushed Byron Davis off quickly, receiving a pass from Li Zhi for a layup.
9:6
Barkley said: "George may really have to win this season, and if he wasn't the best defensive player, it would be a loss for the league. ”
Richie is indeed a strong contender for the Defensive Player of the Year this season, and the only person who can compete with him for this award is Magic's Howard. Now Howard's comprehensive data of steals and blocks is almost the same as that of Lee, but Howard's defensive rebounds are several more than Lee's, and it looks like Richie is at a loss. In terms of defensive effect alone, it definitely looks much better than Howard.
Most of Howard's blocks were given to guards who drove to the basket, and the one-on-one defense was not strong. And Lee's steals and blocks mostly come from one-on-one.
The Cavaliers attacked, and James learned his lesson this time and passed the ball out when he was tangled by Rich. Byron Davis scored on an air-cut layup.
9:8
In the next round, Li Zhi dribbled directly from the backcourt, looked at James and found it. Li Zhi waved his hand, the other players of the Warriors pulled away, and James turned dark.
The Cavaliers fans immediately booed Li Zhi, Li Zhi didn't care, and now he is embarrassed to say that he is a star if he is not booed. Now it should be James who is troubled, he is actually not very good at this kind of one-on-one heads-up.
Counting the matchups between top scorers such as Kobe, Carter, Iverson, Maddie, Anthony, and Pierce, it is naturally not difficult to find James as the ball in the background. Iverson is still second, there are not too many shots, and it is Pierce who singles out James the most, and he is also the one who gives James the most headaches.
Because this guy's back-to-back singles are very annoying, James is not good at playing skills, and he is not very good at defensive back-to-back play. Of course, these comparisons are between superstars, and against some of the second-tier players, James' defense is still very strong.
Li Zhi leaned on James, and after a few strokes, he turned around and threw directly. James originally thought that Li Zhi was going to turn around and break through, so he didn't use his strength when Li Zhi was on top just now, giving Li Zhi space, but unexpectedly, Li Zhi turned around directly.
11:8
Li Zhi's movements were extremely skillful, not at all like a temporary idea, he had already thought of hitting Pierce with his back.
At this time, many fans were in a trance, and Li Zhi took out his back play again after a season. In his rookie season, Li Zhi had Anthony's experience of card addition, and back hitting was commonplace, but then it was gone, and he was not used to it.
Looking at James, Li Zhi smiled and said, "The feeling of hitting the back is really cool!" ”
