Chapter 112: James's Scales

The official timeout in the first quarter was when the Cavaliers players touched the ball out of bounds, and when the timeout came back, the Knicks attacked, and Ray Allen came into play, first hitting a three-pointer in the bottom left corner, and then after Porzingis defended Lefou's inside shot, he shook his old teammate Chris Anderson in the transition offense, and broke through the board to hit two more points.

The Birdman was traded to the Grizzlies by the Heat last season, switched to the Cavaliers in the offseason, and re-assisted James, plus James Jones and Mike Miller before him, almost all of the backup veterans during the Heat period defected to James after James left the Heat, except for Ray Allen.

In James's tactical system, Ray Allen's position is more important than the others, which is one of the reasons why the Cavaliers have repeatedly had scandals with Ray Allen after James returned to the Cavaliers.

Ray Allen scored 5 points in a row, and the difference was instantly stretched to 7 points, Irving forced Grant and made a stop-and-go jump shot to stop the decline for the Cavaliers.

When the whistle blew in the first quarter, the score on the scorer was fixed at 28-24, the Knicks led by 4 points, and in the 24 of the first quarter of the Cavaliers, James scored 13 points, Irving scored 6 points, and the rest of the players combined to score 5 points, proving that Wang Zhuo's tactics had achieved obvious results.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the rotation lineup continued to play, with the Knicks led by Anthony, Rose and Jennings on the bench, the Cavaliers led by James, and Irving and Love rested off the court.

"LeBron, you're not happy because Ray didn't join the Cavaliers?"

At the beginning of the second quarter, Anthony was in the opposite position with James, intentionally or unintentionally stimulating James, which was deliberately told by Wang Zhuo to do this on the bench, in order to hit James's king against the scales.

"Of course not, Ray didn't come, and the Cavaliers still won the championship, didn't they?"

James spit out his braces, swallowed them back into his mouth, shook his head, without the slightest gloom, and even a little disdain to argue with Anthony.

"Isn't the Cavaliers waiting for Ray's reply if they don't renew their contract with JR for a long time? As a result, what I was waiting for was the news that Ray joined the Knicks, and I think you have always wondered why Ray chose the Knicks instead of the Cavaliers, so I'll tell you, because what Ray wants, the Cavaliers can't give it at all. ”

Anthony didn't give up and continued to nag in James' ear, as if he had to provoke James to stop.

"It's ridiculous, the Cavaliers are the defending champions, you have seen the ring, what could be more tempting than a championship?"

James's expression changed slightly in the face of his old friend's provocation, but he was still arguing with Anthony.

"I don't know about this, anyway, Wang personally came out and said that he moved Ray, and the result was that Ray did join the Knicks, and Wang said that with him, the Cavaliers don't want to win the second championship!"

If James didn't care too much about it before, then this sentence definitely touched James's reverse scales, you must know that the Cavaliers are the defending champions and the most powerful leaders in the East, but Anthony's words obviously didn't take the Cavaliers seriously.

When James heard this, the degree of surprise in his heart was tantamount to suffering 10,000 knives, vaguely reminding him of Kobe's words back then: "With me, LeBron will never want to win a championship in his life." ”

There is no need to make judgments about Kobe's rhetoric, because James has won the third championship ring of his career, but Wang Zhuo has made another judgment: one day when he is in the Knicks, the Cavaliers will not want to win the second championship ring.

This is simply a naked insult to the defending champions, James turned his head, looked at Wang Zhuo on the Knicks bench, and instantly became angry.

Wang Zhuo not only looked at James with a smile on his face, but also winked at him when James cast his gaze, which in James's eyes was completely contemptuous.

James's anger burned to the extreme, and he stretched out his hand to Douglas, who was holding the ball at the top of the circle, and motioned for the opponent to pass the ball, Douglas did not dare to go against James's wishes, bent down, and passed the ball with his low hand.

James received the ball, threw off Anthony with a stride, strode into the basket, faced O'Quinn with one arm high, separated the defender, and slammed the basketball into the basket.

At the moment of the violent deduction, James turned around and glared at Wang Zhuo on the bench, as if telling Wang Zhuo with his eyes: "This is Cleveland, pay attention to what you say in my territory!" ”

Wang Zhuo still smiled at James without any expression, because he knew that the goal had been achieved and the Knicks had already won.

Sure enough, in the remaining games, James completely turned on the killing mode, breaking through the dunk, outside three-pointer, back and back, at the end of the half, James had scored 27 points, and the entire Cavaliers only scored 46 points.

It is almost impossible to win by one person, even Jordan, he can't defeat the Pistons' "bad boy army" on his own, not to mention that James's offensive means are more than one or two points inferior to Jordan.

The Knicks blossomed more, especially when the main team came on the court, Wang Zhuo once again sent Ray Allen and Rose to partner up, seamlessly switching point guards and positions, and the two worked together seamlessly.

Although James sent someone to guard Ray Allen, vowing to prove to Ray Allen that joining the Knicks was the wrong choice, Rose's power appropriately complemented the Knicks' firepower, and by halftime, the Knicks had extended the score to eight points.

"Shaq, how did the Knicks beat the Cavaliers back to 2010?"

At halftime, Barkley sat in the commentary box and unceremoniously taunted O'Neal.

After the Cavaliers lost to the Magic in the semifinals in 09, they poached O'Neal at the end of his career with a lot of money, hoping to be able to confront Howard on the inside, but who knew that he was lying at the feet of the Celtics again, James was still alone against the Big Three, isolated.

The meaning of Barkley's words is obvious, he is mocking O'Neal for not being useful and not helping James at all.

"In 2010? Knight? I can't remember what kind of team it was, I think I'm retired, right? ”

O'Neal looked at Barkley and replied confusedly, completely dumbfounded.

Tyronn Lue's answer in an interview was slurred, because he knew that James was not playing according to the tactics at all, and he didn't even understand what James was thinking.

Tyronn Lue wanted to ask, but he didn't dare to ask, because at halftime, James returned to the locker room without saying a word, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that James was angry.
