Chapter 278: Chanmoss's Fake Fall
The boos at the scene started again, and the fans of the Quick Loan Stadium seemed to be eager to rush up and eat Li Cheng alive.
Before Cleveland ushered in the little emperor, they were best known for being the background of Jordan's "TheShot".
Cleveland fans don't have that kind of background, and they seem rough a lot of the time. Their roughness is very effective in motivating their own players, but it is also very effective in angering opposing players.
Li Cheng has accumulated all his anger against the Cavaliers fans in his heart today, and is waiting for the game to be vented after the game!
Humiliating James again, Li Cheng just pouted lightly.
Emperor Zhan's lungs were about to explode, but he had nothing to do with Li Cheng.
"Do you dare to fight me like a man?" James couldn't take it anymore.
Li Cheng rolled his eyes and said, "I have a brain disease?" β
James was really about to be angry with Li Cheng, and he really had the urge to rush up and beat Li Cheng when he looked at Li Cheng's indifferent expression.
The Cavaliers continued to attack, and the angry James continued to hold the ball and play alone, and he wanted to find the court on Li Cheng.
In fact, if James hadn't been so persistent in finding the field on Li Cheng, if he could have let go of his resentment against Li Cheng, organize the team well, and let the team's game rhythm return to normal. James, with the Cavaliers' lineup and his own ability, is definitely not weaker than the Pacers.
But because of James's previous successive failures, he almost had an irresolvable grudge against Li Cheng. And this resentment has also become the source of his tragedy.
On the Pacers' side, Rush defends James, and in the Pacers' lineup, Rush goes to top James, Li Cheng is on the side ready to fill in the position, and Hibbert is always ready to cover James on the inside.
The Cavaliers' current lineup, other people's scoring ability is completely different from James', and James's current love xΓΉ will hardly choose to pass. In such a situation. O'Brien naturally had to instruct the Pacers to change their defensive strategy.
The Pacers, on their side, put on a defensive strategy against James, and their offense is still dominated by Li Chenglai. Li Cheng scored more goals in this quarter than in the first quarter, mainly because now that Jack is on the field, Li Cheng can't go out to organize the team's offense.
"Lee Cheng is in a very free position right now, and he is not a pure shooting guard on the Pacers' lineup. He can play small forward for breaking points, shooting point guard, and even playmaking guard for passing. β
"Li Cheng's ability is by no means fully manifested in the number jΓΉ, although his number jΓΉ is very gorgeous, his ability is by no means more than that. He can find his niche in almost any team, no matter what kind of tactical system he puts him into. He can play his own value. β
The commentator's evaluation of Li Cheng is very correct, now that Li Chengcheng has begun to run without the ball, his style of play is completely different from the first quarter.
"That's what I like about Li Cheng, his style of play is changeable, and when you watch a game of Li Cheng, sometimes you have the feeling of watching several players perform."
"Li Cheng seems to have a natural inspiration for basketball, he is like a basketball elf."
Li Cheng once again used a smart run to avoid James's close defense, and then he completely shook off James with a lateral run, at which time Jack's pass directly found Li Cheng. Li Cheng received the ball and threw it. A perfect off-ball run. This is Li Cheng's best way of attacking, and Li Cheng's current game rhythm also makes him very relaxed and happy.
When Li Cheng retired from football, he said in his autobiography: "The NBA is so intensive, if I play the same way every night, I may be tortured and crazy." So changing the way I play every game is also a kind of relaxation for my mind. β
It has been said before that Lee Sung is a greater threat when he is off the ball than when he has the ball. However, now he is just as dangerous with or without the ball.
Four more minutes into the second quarter, the Pacers continued to keep the Cavaliers under control.
And Li Chengcheng was silent, and he had already scored 8 points in this quarter of the game. Although James' scoring was more furious. But he was never able to close the score.
After the main players of both teams returned, the Pacers continued to let go of their defense against James and turned to press on others.
Today's incarnation of Zhan Buchuan's little emperor has a very big impact on the normal operation of the team, but his strong individual ability still barely maintains his team from being crushed by the Pacers.
At the end of the first half. The two teams were tied at 56-47, with the Pacers leading the Cavaliers by nine points.
James scored 24 of the Cavaliers' 47 points in the first half alone, and you have to marvel at his tough individual ability.
At halftime, Brown made a point of emphasizing the team's offensive system in the locker room.
"LeBron, you don't play on your own, it's not the way, you have to pass more and play our own basketball."
"You have to pass the ball more, and we're going to play our pick-and-rolls."
Mo Williams criticized in his heart, "You want me to pass the ball? I also need to have the ball in my hand to pass! β
In the past, Mo Williams was a ball bully, but when it came to the Cavaliers, he didn't dare to dominate the ball. It's just that his pass object is only James, and some media have compared Mo Williams' pass like this - "I don't pass the ball in today's game, I only pass the ball to James." β
The journalist who can say this is either a Chinese journalist or someone who is very familiar with Chinese TV commercials. His words are adapted from the brain platinum advertisement that every Chinese is familiar with.
Brown emphasized that they need to play more pick-and-rolls and break shots. James also calmed down a bit, and his individual offense reined in the second half as he started passing.
But the Cavaliers' pick-and-roll doesn't seem to have much effect on the Pacers, because their pick-and-roll is just a block, and then the ball-handler breaks through, and the blocker runs around the perimeter to find space to shoot.
The reason why the Cavaliers' blocking and pick-and-roll can play is mainly because of James' ability. The Cavaliers are a broken car, but they have a rocket launcher strapped to it. Maybe they can play a dozen against a team that is not very well armed, but if they come against a team that is also well armed, their broken car is likely to fall apart.
The Pacers are still looking immature in every way, and what they have is potential. But against a team like the Cavaliers, the Pacers aren't afraid.
Because the Cavaliers team is really not very technical on the offensive end, and this hides the weakness of the Pacers' group of rookies.
Lee Cheng understated the offense, while on the defensive end, all the outside players of the Pacers had a very good defensive effect on the Cavaliers' breakthroughs.
In the first half, Mo Williams didn't have much of the ball, so it was understandable that he couldn't make a breakthrough. But in the second half, the ball came to his hands too many times, and James was not crazy to ask for the ball, but his breakthrough still couldn't play as powerful as it should.
Mo Williams was in a hurry, and when he saw the Pacers put on a rookie guard, his mind began to come alive. He secretly said in his heart: "This time, let's take this rookie first and regain my confidence." β
Hibbert dodged Ilgoskas with a hook to put the ball into the basket, and then the Cavaliers attacked, this time Mo-Williams took the ball from Vallejo and happily dribbled the ball across the half court and began his "find confidence" activity.
However, his campaign did not go well, as MoneyMos stepped on the three-point line to defend Money-Williams, and after a shake, Money-Williams tried to use his speed to force a breakthrough through Money-Williams.
With a twinkle in his eyes, Chanmos moved a step to the left, and then stood still.
Mo Williams held the ball in his left hand, he leaned to the right, and Chanmos appeared in his way.
At this time, Mo Williams wanted to take it back, but it was too late.
MoneyMoss fell backwards as soon as he was touched by Mo-Williams, sliding backwards after falling to the ground.
Chammos was taught by Stegan, who is very proficient in almost every trick on the basketball court. He didn't know much about this kind of fake fall, and he even studied the art of fake fall on the court.
He researched more than just basketball, and he has watched a lot of videos of fake falls on the football field. For fake falls, Stegen also has his own understanding. And the most important thing to keep in mind is that "a good actor must do a full set of acts." β
Chanmos didn't stand up immediately, he rubbed his chest and lay on the ground, as if Mo-Williams had hit him with a lot of pain.
The referee was a little hesitant, but after seeing Chanmoss's action, he immediately gave Mo Williams a dribble hit.
There were chaotic boos at the scene again, and Qian Mos was pulled up by Li Cheng and smiled softly at Li Cheng.
Li Cheng understood in an instant, he smiled, remembering his previous defense, which seemed to be completed with the help of countless feints and fake falls.
"I'm a fast learner!" Li Cheng said softly.
"The main thing is that the coach teaches well." Chanmos said a little excitedly.
Li Cheng patted Qian Moss on the shoulder, free throws to go! Their fouls have arrived.
Chanmos excitedly walked to the free-throw line, and after Chanmos hit both free throws, he helped the Pacers extend the margin to 15 points.
This time, the Cavaliers offense not only missed the offense, but also paid for a foul and two free throws. In this round, the Cavaliers lost a lot, and it was not only their score, but also their morale.
The most strange thing is that when Qian Mos was about to leave after sending the ball, and Li Cheng was also about to go back to defense, the referee's whistle sounded again.
Li Cheng looked back confused, but he didn't know why the referee blew the whistle this time. (To be continued......)
