The Knicks made a mistake at the beginning, giving James a chance to perform a dunk to detonate the whole court, James was very fast, and Derrick Williams, who was marking him, was younger than James and not slower than him, but he still couldn't keep up, and it can be seen from this ball that those who think that young Derrick Williams can completely limit James's breakthrough are too taken for granted.

James is still at the top!

"James played with a back buckle as soon as he came up, I don't know if Xie Chen will return one. Since Xie Chen often played this kind of fancy dunk in official games, many players have followed this trend, even in the key playoffs, as long as they have the opportunity, they want to show off. Ke Fan said.

Different dunk methods will bring different effects to the atmosphere of the scene, and James is the one who knows how to ignite the whole court.

Xie Chen didn't compete with James as soon as he came up, this series is destined to be a long series, this is only the first goal of the first game, Xie Chen has enough time to compete with James in every game in the future.

At the beginning of the game, most teams will still choose to play with the tactics formulated by the coach, because at the beginning, everyone remembers what the coach said very clearly, and they are not brought in by the emotions of the game, which is the most suitable time to complete the team tactics.

Xie Chen transferred the ball, and finally, the ball came to the hands of Carmelo Anthony, Anthony got the ball in the low post, and at this time he was already on his back, and the defender of him was Kevin Love, who was injured and absent in the playoffs last season.

Anthony is a little bit less tall than Kevin Love, but it's not too much, and Anthony has always played tough, especially under the basket.

In the face of Lefou, Anthony directly turned on the back-to-back singles mode and squeezed Lefu twice. Lefou's defense appeared soft, and he was beaten back by Anthony, and in the end, Anthony easily hit a small hook after squeezing Lefu away.

After this ball, netizens posted accusations against Lefu.

"Lefou's so soft! It was so easy to be beaten by Anthony. didn't even stretch out his hand much in the end, so he didn't want to be blown up by Anthony? ”

"It's softer than Gasol back then, is this the offensive routine that the Knicks are preparing to use against the Cavaliers?"

In fact, in everyone's impression, Lefu has always been a player who is strong in attack and weak in defense, first of all, his body, his hardware conditions and even his skin color, he does not look like an excellent defender, and secondly, his character and his defensive habits, such as not liking to reach out when defending. Always subconsciously keep the center of gravity and then get stuck to grab rebounds, such defensive habits make him not easy to be deceived by the center of gravity, and he will not lose the rebounding position by interfering with the opponent's shooting, but he will give the opponent a very good shooting percentage.

In addition, Love was out last season due to injury, and this season has definitely become more conservative and less likely to be tough, so. Playing Lefou, the Knicks have been thinking about it for a long time.

Anthony is the Knicks' ace. A few years ago, even the top three offensive players in the league, even if Lefou's defense was tough, it was inevitable that he would be plagued by fouls, and this series was a test for Lefou.

Arguably. Everyone in the Cavaliers' Big Three is under pressure, and in the playoffs against the Heat last year, Irving played a few games and helped the team win three games, but Colefour didn't play a single game. Even without playing a game, the Cavaliers were able to lead the Heat 3-0, although they were later reversed by the Heat, but Love has seen that even without himself, even without Irving, James with a group of shrimp soldiers and crab generals can still make the team show championship-level strength.

Last season was the first cooperation between Lefu and James, in fact, the cooperation between the two was not very pleasant, the relationship between the two was not good, and they were not friends in private, and many private activities organized by James last season, Lefu did not participate in a single time.

Then, perhaps dissatisfied with his position in the Cavaliers and the number of shots, Lefu chose to jump out of the contract, but James still did not lobby and did not particularly retain this matter, but in the end, Lefu still chose the Cavaliers among many suitors, and the high-salary contract is one thing, and more importantly, Lefu has fully accepted his position in the Cavaliers.

James said on Twitter: "Don't say anything about adaptation, it's not okay to fit in!" ”

That's what he said to Lefou.

This season, James gave Lefu more scenes, he averaged 20+11 per game this season, and the number of touches was greater than Misses, Lefu became more comfortable, and the Cavaliers became stronger.

"Since I chose to stay, I want to prove the difference between having me and not being there!" Lefu also became serious, he was quite disdainful of Xie Chen, because he felt that if he hadn't been injured last season, Xie Chenxiu wanted to complete the reversal, and the championship would be his!

Love hasn't played in the finals yet, and he doesn't want to miss out this year.

James, like Xie Chen, did not choose to launch his own attack as soon as he came up, and finally the ball was handed over to Lefou, Lefu faced Anthony who had just beaten him, and he did not have a soft hand, and he saw that Anthony did not eat this set, and decisively jumped up to shoot at mid-distance, Lefou's hand was very good, and the first ball hit steadily.

Lefu still has some height advantage over Anthony, Lefu not only has mid-range shooting, but also three-point shooting, and it is not easy to defend Lefou.

The two sides played for a few minutes, the score was comparable, and the pace was relatively fast, they were constantly moving the ball to find the most suitable opportunity, no one was reluctant to attack, and the two aces of LeBron James and Xie Chen did not start to take over the game in person, so everyone's hearts have been tense and looking forward to it.

Ke Fan said: "Xie Chen and James don't seem to be in a hurry, they both want to play slowly, and they probably know that the opponent is not easy to defeat with a wave of crazy offensives, so they both keep the big move, it depends on who strikes first." ”

Yang Yi looked at this slightly mediocre game, and also said: "Yes, whoever can't help but take over the game in person first proves who is at a disadvantage." ”

Just when everyone thought that this dull game would continue forever, it was not until the fourth quarter that the two teams went head-to-head. At the time of the tide, five minutes into the first quarter, the game quietly changed.

The changes started when the Knicks missed a shot and Kevin Love grabbed the rebound.

Love grabbed the rebound, and Irving was standing next to him. But instead of giving the ball to Irving, the point guard, Love set his sights on a farther position.

LeBron James turned out to be past half time! And it's still rushing to the front!

It's too fast, it's too fast, Love has just gotten the rebound, and the Jamesmen have already gone to the frontcourt! James had an early movement again, and there was no super fast reaction. You can't do it without a split-second dash.

It can only be said that James, who entered the Eastern Conference Finals, is too excited, and fighting with Xie Chen, an enemy, has made him even faster and younger than last year!

Lefu made a long pass and threw the ball directly to the front court, and it was already very close to the basket!

"Such a long pass!"

A lot of people were taken aback, and Love often played this kind of long ball that crossed the half. But this is the playoffs, it's the Eastern Conference Finals, and there is still a certain risk in such a pass, not to mention that James has Derrick Williams in front of him, ColaFos is bold, and when it comes to the Eastern Conference Finals, he still dares to pass!

"If LeBron dares to run, I will dare to pass!" Lefous may be a little weak defensively. But he was by no means a cringe, a man of that character. No matter how talented you are, you can't be an All-Star.

Williams followed James all the time, and he saw the long pass, which he tried to steal before James received it, but he found himself in a position that simply wouldn't allow him to do so. Although it spanned half court, Love's passing was very accurate, and James's body was stronger than Williams, and Williams wanted to squeeze James through his body and grab the ball, it was simply wishful thinking.

James received a pass from the backcourt. Then after a big step, go straight to the basket!

Derrick Williams finally realized James's domineering, although he said that he followed James all the way and didn't seem to lose his defensive position, but when James got the ball, everything changed, James went straight to the basket and dunked, Williams just couldn't stop it!

He watched James burst into heavy buttons! James also did a pull-up after the dunk.

"This is the real first person in the alliance!"

SOME PEOPLE CALLED KING JAMES, AND SOME PEOPLE REDEFINED JAMES'S STATUS IN THE LEAGUE, BUT THE BIGGEST CONTRIBUTOR TO THE CAVALIERS' ABILITY TO PLAY SUCH AN EXCITING GOAL WAS KEVIN LOVE.

Xie Chen's face was a little displeased, he glanced at Kevin Lefou, and thought to himself: "His presence has indeed made this knight a little different, I didn't encounter this situation in the seven games with the knight last year." ”

Lefou's long passing ability can be said to be historic, which is a big stunt, and there are many people who can pass the ball like this, but compared to Lefou, the realm is much worse.

Xie Chen has always thought that he has good enough passing ability, like great passers, Stephen Nash, Jason Kidd, John Stockton...... They can pass the ball, Xie Chen can pass it, and the passing thing, the requirements for ability are actually not high, and the more important thing is the consciousness and IQ of the passer, so Xie Chen has never thought of copying anyone's passing ability.

However, Lefu's long pass gave Xie Chen the idea of wanting to replicate his passing ability for the first time.

"This is definitely S-level passing ability, Lefu as a big forward, in terms of strength and passing style, it is very different from me, he must have practiced for a long time, maybe next season I will find an opportunity to replicate his long passing ability." Xie Chen secretly said that Xie Chen no longer has the permission to copy this season, so he can only wait for next season to "do it".

However, this brilliant long ball was only the beginning of the Lefou.

Kyrie Owen held the ball in a high position, Lefu stepped forward to cover Owen, and then Owen quickly broke through from the right side by covering, and quickly attracted the defense of two people, under the pressure of the two big men, Owen, who is only 1.9 meters tall, seems to be unable to see the position of his teammate Lefu at all, however, he doesn't need to look at Lefou, just by feeling, he threw his right hand to the left, and passed over.

Love has an open spot at the three-point line!

Anthony was negligent, but Lefu did not let go of this opportunity, and directly shot three points, and the ball hit!

"Good shot! Lefu is in good shape today, I think Xie Chen should slowly understand the significance of Lefou's existence to the Cavaliers. Yang Yi couldn't help but praise Lefu's goal, after all, he was on the side of the knights.

Unfortunately, the Knicks didn't respond to the ball, and the Cavaliers grabbed the rebound, and they were very fast on the counter-attack, and basically, you had to start running back the moment the ball bounced out of the basket.

All five of them are so energetic.

The ball was still in James's hands, James dribbled quickly across the halfcourt, fortunately, the Knicks also retreated and came back a few people, James couldn't start scoring directly, and changed to Kobe or Wei Shao, this ball also resolutely broke into his own play, but James is different, he will first observe the position of his teammates.

Then, he found that Lefu ran to the bottom corner.

The ball is in the hands of Lefou!

Anthony hurriedly caught up with the jump block, but he didn't expect Lefu to be cunning and didn't shoot, after making a shooting pose, and when Anthony flew over, he dribbled the ball again and shot three points.

The three-pointer was hit again!

"It's so handsome! LOVE！ ”

The audience is excited! Kevin Love hit two consecutive three-pointers to get the scene into the first wave of the game. Tide!

Ke Fan was also excited: "Lefu made two three-pointers in a row!" It's not a matter of feeling good, it looks like Lefu is trying to show Xie Chen his ability, Lefu was absent from such an important game last year, he wants to tell Xie Chen what he means in this team! ”

Yang Yi also praised: "Lefu is really good, playing is really calm and mature, he didn't panic at all, in fact, when James passed the ball to him, he was already able to shoot, but he waited for Anthony to fly over before he shot, in fact, Lefu has not played such an important game, this is also his first time playing in the Eastern Conference Finals, although he has been in the league for a few years, but in the Timberwolves he has never entered the playoffs at all, last year came to the Cavaliers to follow James and finally got in, only played a few games and was injured, for the playoffs." , Lefu is also a complete newcomer. But his performance is really superstar-level. ”

Love's performance made the game start to change, and two consecutive three-pointers weren't the end of Love's madness in the first quarter.

After another two minutes, Kevin Love faced Anthony's defense, this time he suddenly chose to break through, and he turned his back to break through, and then made a left-handed layup, Anthony pulled him, and Lefu threw the ball to the basket with a painful expression, and it was also scored!

2+1！

Kevin Love almost dominated the first quarter! (To be continued.) )
