Chapter 233: Finding a Flaw
As Paul's friend and the boss of the Cleveland Cavaliers, LeBron James immediately straddled Paul and Thompson, separating the two. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
After the opening, a conflict broke out, and the smell of gunpowder on the field began to grow.
Ye Hai didn't seem to have fallen lightly, and rested on the ground for a while before slowly standing up with the help of Horford and Johnson. After barely scoring two free throws, Ye Hai was replaced by Stevens with Jack Crowder.
Ye Hai missed the first free throw, and after adjusting for a while, the second free throw was hit.
In this way, after Jack Crowder came on the court, the Celtics temporarily fell behind 1-5. Ye Hai got the only 1 point on the team and went off the court.
"That's it? It seems that the goal of 10 points is easy to achieve. Loew said lightly.
"Ye Hai is not all our goal in this game, the goal of this game is to win!" James reminded.
After Crowder came on the court, the Cavaliers seemed to lose the same motivation as when they began to unite to defend Ye Hai, and the Celtics took the opportunity to resume their offense, and the Cavaliers began to play offensive and defensive transitions that matched the results of the two teams, but Crowder's defense had almost no impact on James, and at the same time, he was completely dominated by the "little emperor" on the offensive end!
In between a dead ball, Stevens suddenly walked to Ye Hai's side and said, "Take a closer look at the Cavaliers' style of play on the court, and when you come on the court later, you need to find a way to deal with their dense defense!" ”
Ye Hai nodded and began to carefully observe the flaws in the Cavaliers' defense.
The Cavaliers deserve to be a championship-level team, from the perspective of collective rotation defense, it is simply seamless and flawless, this three-time finals, a championship team lineup has been running in for three years, and it is undoubtedly impossible to find the flaws in the team's defensive tactics in just a few minutes.
In this case, there is only hope for a local breakthrough, but the player opposite Ye Hai is the "little emperor" James! Ye Hai couldn't help but think hard about the type of player James was most afraid of!
"That's right!" Ye Hai's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but feel funny, this world is really wonderful, everything always likes to create a pair of mutual restraint, and will never let a thing be beautiful for people.
The person Ye Hai thought of was James' biggest enemy in the league at present, Kevin Durant, who also played as a small forward! Durant's pull-and-shoot has always been a nightmare for a physically fit player like James.
Ye Hai suddenly thought that when James first arrived in the league, every time he met Maddie, he was beaten by the opponent with a dry pull, and it seems that dry pull shooting is the best way to break James' defense!
And breaking the key point of James will cause a series of chain reactions, and maybe the situation on the court will change!
In the latter part of the first quarter, Ye Hai did not play again, and on the court, the combination of Horford and Paul struggled to support the team's offense and defense.
In the rotation time of the first quarter, Stevens did not dare to replace Paul, but Smart came on the court to relieve Paul's organizational tasks, but when it came to the half-court position, it was still Paul who dispatched.
When the Cavaliers finished the first quarter with the lineup of Paul, Smart, Jack Crowder, Jerebko and Olynyk against the Cavaliers' Williams, J.R. Smith, Dunleavy, James, and Fry, the Celtics trailed the Cavaliers by six points at 20-26 in the first quarter due to the momentum played by their opponents in the opening game.
In the second quarter, under the impact of Jack Crowder, Jerebko and Olynyk, the Celtics once tied the score, but when Paul was just replaced by RJ Hunter for a break, JR hit 3 three-pointers in a row, and suddenly the score gap was reopened to 9 points!
Seeing this, Stevens called a timeout and rearranged the defensive tactics.
Stevens drew quickly on the tactical board while constantly looking at the players around him.
When Stevens finished speaking, Paul asked Yahi and Amir Johnson, "How's that, no problem!" ”
"No problem!" Ye Hai and Johnson replied in unison.
At the end of the timeout, the players from both sides returned to the court, and with 8 minutes left in the second quarter, the starters were back on the court, and Paul only had less than 2 minutes to play again! Since Smart's stability is still far from Paul's, Stevens can only hope that Paul will continue to stay on the court in the face of this kind of game.
The score is 28-37 at the moment, and the Celtics are 9 points behind!
Ye Hai immediately ran through the baseline after the game, relying on the cover under Horford's basket to run out of the gap, and after receiving Paul's pass, he found that James had actually defended quickly in place!
Under the watchful eyes of the fans, Ye Hai suddenly jumped up and made a pull-up jump shot in front of James!
The ball flew to the basket with a strong backspin, James didn't expect that Ye Hai would face him and shoot directly, the blocked hand was still far away from the ball, and he could only watch the basketball fly into the basket!
30-37!
"Good!" As the ball fell into the basket, the stone in Ye Hai's heart also fell to the ground, "The dry pull shot really worked for James!" ”
James glanced back at Ye Hai and thought, "I didn't expect this guy to have such a stable pull-up jump shot at a young age, it seems that I have to improve the oppressiveness of the defense again!" ”
It was the Cavaliers' turn to attack, James came to the 45° position again, ready to catch the ball and continue to hit Ye Hai with his back, but when James dribbled to the basket and turned around to shoot, he found that Johnson blocked the route of his turn to the basket at the moment he turned around, Johnson fell to the ground in response, and the referee decisively punished James for an offensive foul!
This is exactly the tactic Stevens designed for James's back hit Ye Hai!
James immediately put the ball on the floor when he heard the referee's whistle and shook his head as he ran back, as if he was also a little unhappy with his attack.
Pointers!
When it was the Celtics' turn to attack, Ye Hai faced James' defense, suddenly retreated after feintting near the three-point line, and threw a three-pointer outside the three-point line! James didn't have anything to do in the face of Ye Hai's step-back three-point shot, so he could only watch Ye Hai's three-point shot brush the net again!
33-37! It's only 4 points away!
"LeBron, Ye Hai seems to have scored 6 points, and he is only 4 points away from 10 points! There are 5 points in it, but they are all taken by you. Owen stood beside James and reminded.
James cut his hairband expressionlessly, and did not respond to Owen's words.
In the next round, James unreasonably used his strong body to crash into a bloody path and hit a basket before Johnson could make up for it! After the goal, James showed a hideous expression and showed his biceps at the same time!
Ye Hai rubbed his chest that was knocked open by James, and felt that James's momentum was much more destructive than Xu Zhibin!
The score gap is back to 6 points! 33-39!
Perhaps seeing that Ye Hai's offense was very efficient, the ball came to Ye Hai's hands after a circle in the hands of the Celtic players.
In the face of James's defense, Ye Hai has understood that he can't simply use his body or speed to break through the opponent, and the opponent has already been on guard against his dry pull-out jumper, in this case, what should he do?
That's right! Ye Hai suddenly had an idea, since body and speed are pure talents, then I can give it a try, after all, I have learned street basketball, Shaolin basketball, and I have also trained with all-round players like Ji Qingchuan who I have never been able to surpass, and I know too many offensive skills, if I use them one by one, I am afraid that even James will be dazzled!
Thinking of this, Ye Hai took a deep breath, suddenly stood up straight, and carried the ball back and forth under his step, this state of calm and relaxation was almost like two people just now!
James looked at Ye Hai in front of him and seemed to feel that this young man was not so easy to deal with! (To be continued.) )
