Chapter 88: Targeted Tactics

James saw that Lehi didn't take a feint, so he simply pulled it up and threw it. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The ball was closer than the first shot, but the coherent movement just now had lost its rhythm by the time it stopped and shot, and the basketball slammed into the basket.

When it was the Knicks' turn to attack, Lehi also pulled out after receiving the ball, but he scored neatly.

James didn't do it, and the Cavaliers also took the ball when they attacked, and this time it scored.

"See, Li, you can't stop me, it's just that I just had a problem with my hand."

"No, LeBron, I should say it's a dribble, don't believe you keep shooting."

The two were talking to each other in relatively urbane trash talk, and the game had just begun, with both teams playing the offense they needed, and the score kept alternating upwards.

Both sides hit good shots in the first quarter, and the difference between the two sides was only 1 point at the end.

In the second quarter, the two teams entered the rotation, and the bench level was also half a pound and two pounds.

James only had a short break before continuing to play, and Lehi naturally kept pace with James.

After the main team gradually changed to the court, the Cavaliers suddenly suffered a scoring drought, and Ilgoskas also missed two free throws after getting free throws.

James only came in person, and he made a three-point shot against Lehi, but the shot missed.

James is a little anxious, because the difference between the wins and losses of several teams is not large, and the Cavaliers are not 100% able to enter the playoffs, facing direct competitors like the Knicks, they must win.

He doesn't shoot very well from three-point range, so it's hard to help the team.

Unlike the Cavaliers, even if the Knicks don't score Lehi, there are Marbury and Crawford, it doesn't matter if he puts his full focus on defense, but James still needs to lead the team to the offense.

Lehi saw James receive the ball outside the three-point line, and simply took another half step back, with a provocation in his eyes, a chill flashed in James's eyes, and he took a step to the side, and made another three-point shot.

Still missed, the pressure of leading the team and Lehi's defensive traps made him lose his rhythm.

The Knicks picked up the rebound and launched a fast break, and Marbury passed to Lehi, who made a back-to-back gesture and then returned the ball to Marbury.

When the Knicks are ahead, Lehi has a lot more options.

Marbury hit a three-pointer to extend the Knicks' lead to 10 points.

James was in a hurry, stopped trying three-pointers, forced a breakthrough head-on, almost pushed Lehi inside, and forced a shot before the bag came up, but he didn't hit.

When Lehi was defending, he could also feel the increasing pressure on James, who was obviously still a little young as the leader of the team.

As an opponent, Lehi will not sympathize with him, he will only find a way to defeat the opponent.

At this time, the Cavaliers' bench interior Roberto Traylor played well, grabbed the frontcourt rebound to complete the score, and then hit a mid-range shot to help the Cavaliers chase the score closer.

James also seemed to be fierce, and it was a head-on breakthrough that pushed Lehi inside.

Still missed, but this time the referee blew for a foul on Lehi and put James on the free throw line.

At halftime, the Knicks had an eight-point lead at 53:45.

In the lounge, Lehi said seriously: "I will try to limit James, let's win this game together, let everyone see, the Knicks will not admit defeat." ”

In the second half, the Cavaliers made adjustments, and their interior finally came into play.

Ilgoskas and Drew Gooden hit the same attack, and the Knicks, who don't have enough height, are difficult to defend.

Teammate power is equal to James power, because James who can pass the ball and threaten the ball is the most difficult to defend.

Under Lehi's close defense, James' shooting percentage was not very good, but after the shooting rate of the rest of the Cavaliers came up, the Knicks couldn't rest assured that they could hit the basket, which also increased James' chances of hitting the basket.

With James' physical fitness, if he keeps rushing to the basket, Lehi can only spend time with him.

Unlike the Cavaliers, the Knicks' outside shooting percentage dropped a bit at this time, especially Marbury, who began to hit the iron continuously.

The fluctuation of shooting percentage is a problem that every team will encounter, and if it can be handled well, the possibility of victory will be greatly increased, and some stars will help the team through defense, strategy and other means when the shooting rate is not high, and Marbury is a little worse in this regard.

Lehi shouted several passes from Marbury, but Marbury did not react clearly.

In the third quarter, the Knicks lost their advantage, allowing the Cavaliers to lead by 2 points.

Marbury returned to the bench and covered his head with a face towel, depressed.

Williams didn't know how to adjust the current atmosphere, so he simply took advantage of the rotation to let Marbury go off the court first.

James was under pressure when the Cavaliers were behind, and the Knicks' current record must also be under pressure, and Marbury is the most obvious one.

Back in his hometown of New York, he was ambitious, but last year's round of tours, this year it seems that even the opportunity to get a round of tours is difficult for him to accept.

When Marbury was resting, it was Crawford who played point guard.

Crawford has a characteristic when he plays point guard, he will pass it very early when he wants to pass, and if he doesn't pass it at the first time, he will basically make a single shot.

So Lehi started asking for the ball from the half, and when the team was ahead, he didn't need to snatch the shot, but when the team was behind, he had to step up.

He, like Marbury, believes in helping the team in crunch time.

But his physical fitness, it is easier to do some things than Marbury.

After receiving Crawford's pass, Lehi began to accelerate, and when he got up, Lehi was also difficult to stop, he carried James inside, and then turned to the middle, and when he got up, he threw the ball into the basket.

With the foundation of this strong attack, Lehi rushed in twice to attract the attention of the Cavaliers, and then distributed it to his teammates to score easily.

In order to defend the Cavaliers' interior, the Knicks contracted very tightly, and the Cavaliers' two interior lines suddenly struggled to get a chance to shoot, and James' breakthrough was also limited.

However, at this time, the Cavaliers' outside shooting percentage was poor, and the Knicks immediately contracted more firmly.

James had no choice but to make a strong shot on the outside.

"I said, your shot is not good." Lehi clung to it.

James pulled up a strong shot, didn't score, and then made a strong shot, still didn't score, and wasted a few offensive opportunities before hitting.

Lehi smiled, and the defense became even more aggressive.

With five minutes left in the game, James missed a shot, and Lehi picked up a rebound to launch a fast break, and a dragon dunk helped the team extend the lead to 10 points.
