With only half of the first quarter, Durant had already scored 13 points.

Cavaliers head coach Mike Brown called a timeout.

The Cavaliers live commentator shouted, "Durant! It's Durant again! He's scoring in a row, what's going on with the Bobcats? Has there been a change of boss this season? So far, Hayes has only made one shot, and several veterans are passing the ball to Durant. ”

On the off court, Gerard Wallace punched Durant in the back and said, "It's so beautiful!" Boy, you're going to steal the scoring title this season. ”

"Aim for 40 points or more, and then continue to create opportunities for you." Billups laughed.

Mike Brown called the players together, took the tactics board and said, "LeBron, you go and mark Durant, let Sasha (Pavlovich) defend Wallace." The inside line is still Ben (Wallace) to defend Hayes, and Big Z (Ilgoskas) pays attention to the help defense ......"

This is not much change from the defensive tactics just now, the only adjustment is that James defends Durant. Although Durant scored the most, it was Hayes who was the most difficult for Mike Brown.

Hayes hasn't taken the initiative to attack this game, if he plays alone, Ben Wallace is difficult to defend alone, and now there are Durant and Billups on the outside, both of whom are players who can shoot three-pointers, and Durant still has a headache inside height. Mike Brown didn't dare to arrange for a weak-side player to pack Hayes, that would definitely make an open opportunity, and the Cavaliers would definitely die a miserable death.

The Bobcats also have problems defensively, and if they pack James, James will split the ball and it is easy to get open after off-ball coverage.

"Gerrard, you should defend James alone in this game. Don't let him catch the ball easily, after the opponent blocks and dismantles Chuck, don't wrap it up. It doesn't matter if James has more points, as long as we guard against the others, we can win easily. When attacking, continue the routine just now. D'Antoni said, not forgetting to praise Durant. Kevin, play well, keep it up! ”

Azubuuk, who was sitting on the edge of the bench, smiled bitterly: "It's over." This kid is attacking too hard. I think it's hard to get back into the main position. ”

Weaver shook his head and said, "Be content, you're just out of starters, and I'm running out of balls." Anthony [Moreau] shoots better than me, and as long as he can strengthen his defense a little bit, I won't need me at the shooting guard position. The good thing is that we're closer to the championship. ”

Listening to their conversation, Brook Lopez showed a yearning expression, if he ran into a team with a weak interior line, would he be the core of the attack? He's better at scoring than Camby, who is already very old, play well, and he could be a starter in the future.

After the timeout, players from both sides returned to the field.

James gritted his teeth and looked at Hayes, his face unkind, and Hayes gave him a smile. James hated Hayes's smiling face, but he had to admit that the Bobcats were stronger now, and their overall strength was above the Cavaliers.

I'm obviously not inferior to Hayes in my personal ability, or even stronger than him, why can't I beat him with my teammates? James never understood.

Even in the group confrontation of the national team, James could not take advantage. James is on the same team as Howard, Bosh, Wade, and Paul, and Hayes is teamed up by Stadamyer, Anthony, Ray Allen, and Billups. If you look at individual ability, James's side looks stronger, but when it comes to playing, James can't win.

What makes James feel most uncomfortable is that he has tried his best, but Hayes is always smiling and doesn't seem to be working hard at all.

In fact, Hayes is also competing, playing very seriously at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, but he is born with a smile, as long as it is not a malicious foul by the opponent, he can laugh. Hayes didn't expect a smile to disturb his opponent's mind.

The Cavaliers pulled away, and James singled out Gerald Wallace. The Bobcat didn't mean to wrap up, so Ilgoskas didn't come forward to cover either.

James dribbled under his hip in quick succession and suddenly changed direction past Gerard Wallace. As long as James is successful, he is unstoppable. Camby makes up for it under the basket. James jumped up against Camby, and as the two collided, James pulled the ball in the air. and caused a foul on Camby.

James added a free throw to make it 19-14.

The Bobcats were still unhurried, and Billups went to the front court to hand the ball to Gerard Wallace. Wallace stood in the high post, waited for Durant to come from a lateral run, and handed the ball to Durant. Durant catches the ball and moves sideways for a jumper. Pavlovich blocked with all his might, of course, but he couldn't block it, but Durant didn't grasp the ball well and couldn't shoot.

Ben Wallace grabbed the rebound in the backcourt. In the battle for Ben Wallace, Hayes couldn't take advantage either. The best defensive player in successive years, the strength is not blown.

Ben Wallace landed and passed to Mo Williams, ready to launch a fast attack, but the Bobcats were very fast to return to the defense, except for Camby and Ilgoskas who were "walking" in the backcourt, the other four all returned to their own half, and the Cavaliers' counterattack could not be played.

James attacked with the ball, and Gerald Wallace was inseparable, defending but not shooting. There are a lot of people who are better than Gerard Wallace at the small forward position than the offense. But looking at the defense, he can be in the top five.

Under the entanglement of Gerald Wallace, James is also a little uncomfortable. This is quite normal. With the Bobcats, Gerald Wallace has been working alone with Hayes. Hayes had a lot of tricks, and over time, Wallace's judgment of feints increased. James has good physical fitness, but there aren't particularly many feints.

James struggled to make a gap and shot a jumper with Wallace jumping up to interfere, and the ball was also deflected. Hayes grabbed the rebound. Billups and Durant went on a fast break together. Hayes plays a long ball to Billups. Billups changed direction past More, two-on-one, Pavlovic followed Billups, Billups stopped and threw the ball into the air with both hands, Durant jumped high and dunked the basketball with both hands!21-14.

The Cavaliers have been behind, their fast break is not as good as the Bobcats, and they are also behind in rebounding, and when they attack, Gerard Wallace and Hayes take turns limiting James, making it very difficult for "The Emperor" to play. The Positional Knights were able to restrain the Bobcats, but once they let the Bobcats run, they were a little at a loss.

In the first quarter, the Bobcats led by nine points, 37-28.

In the second quarter of the game, Hayes, Billups, Durant and others were replaced and rested one after another. The Bobcats played more easily, and the Cavaliers' bench lineup simply couldn't compete with the Bobcats' bench.

Bobcat center was replaced by Brook Lopez, power forward Bagnani, small forward Mike Miller, shooting guard Azubuike, and point guard Rondo. Such a lineup is simply a starter in other teams. Although Rondo has a poor shot, his passing awareness is not inferior to Billups, and he has a good tandem with the team.

In addition to Rondo, Mike Miller pulls up high as a playmaker and can also deliver comfortable passes. He has a good sense of passing and averaged 4.3 assists per game with the Grizzlies in 2006-2007. This is extremely difficult for the Grizzlies with Pau Gasol at the core.

Replacing Durant, the Bobcats went on with Bagnani, also a big man who dangled on the outside, easily emptying the Cavaliers' interior line.

The Cavaliers' bench JJ Sixson, Ella Newbell, and Rice couldn't keep up with the pace of the game at all. If it weren't for the "fake fall king" Vallejo who relied on experience to make two offensive fouls by Brook Lopez in a row, and Gibson hit two three-pointers with hot hands, the Bobcats would definitely shake the lead. However, the score gap between the two sides still widened to more than 10 points, 51-40.

In the second half of the second quarter, the Bobcats once again fielded Durant, Bagnani as center, Landry as a power forward, Mike Miller as a small forward, and Hayes as a point guard.

D'Antoni's long-planned five-striker tactic has emerged. This is an adjustment made according to the opponent's lineup, and in this arrangement, the height and speed of the Bobcats' outside players have an advantage.

"LeBron, go keep an eye on Hayes!" Mike Brown exclaimed. If James doesn't step up to defense, backup point guard Daniel Gibson will have to taste Hayes' ass.

James immediately went to the front court to target Hayes, intending not to let Hayes easily dribble the ball through the half, but Bagnani began to block and block James in the backcourt. Hayes took the ball to the frontcourt and handed it to Durant.

At this time, Delonte West was on the court, and it was him who defended Durant again. Gibson is responsible for defending Miller, and the height disadvantage in both positions is too obvious.

Durant takes a step inside the three-point line to catch the ball and make a slight adjustment, pull it up and shoot. Also with a little back. West used all his strength to feed, but he still couldn't interfere with Durant's shot, and the ball hit! 53 to 40.

The Cavaliers attacked, Hayes kept up with Gibson, he didn't have the speed advantage when defending the guard, but Gibson was average in speed and was not good at breaking through, and his trick was to shoot three-pointers.

Gibson wanted to shoot a three-pointer, but Hayes kept in front of him and didn't have a good shot. Gibson saw James ask for the ball at a low 45-degree angle on the left side and passed it out. James turned past Landry and burst inside, hitting a two-handed dunk that Bagnani couldn't make up for. 53 to 42.

Landry's defense is still not good enough. The Bobcats asked for a substitution, Mike Miller down, Gerard Wallace on. This substitution is artificially limited to James.

Hayes continued to play point guard in a cameo role, passing the ball to Bagnani from beyond the three-point line. Bagnani pulled to the outside and broke the Cavaliers' defense. A Durant is already unblockable, and Bagnani is also 7 feet tall.

Ilgoskas had no choice but to follow.

Bagnani didn't make a strong shot either, and passed the ball to Durant again. At this point, Hayes, who acts as a point guard, gives Durant a cover.

The Bobcats on the court are all swingmen, James is also a little anti-messy, he just wanted to defend Durant, Landry made another cover to block James, Durant rushed into the interior with the ball, and made a layup before Wallace made up the defense! 55 to 42.

The Bobcats' outside pitchers are too tall! Mike Brown is going crazy. What the hell is this? The 5 people are not only swing people, but also can play the inside line, and they can change positions at any time. No team in the league can have this kind of weird lineup, but with the freak of Hayes, the Bobcats can play like this. And the knight who beat can't parry.

In order to defend the Bobcats' tall pitchers, the Cavaliers would have to field tall players, and doing so would affect their offense...... Durant scored in a row, and the more he played, the more excited he became. He felt like a fish, and now he found his own water!
