Chapter 280: The Away Locker Room
After Zhang Yu landed, he pretended to be hit by Big Z and lost his balance, and he added his strength to stage a good show of hitting the street again.
But his wishful thinking failed, and the referee was once again indifferent and did not blow for a foul.
Zhang Yu's falling posture is indeed exaggerated, but he did have a physical conflict with Da Z in the reasonable collision area, which is a foul!
The Cavaliers launched a quick counterattack, James sprinted at full speed, and Wallace followed to the midfield and was thrown away by the Gorillas with speed.
The speed of the little emperor was not much when he first started, but few people in the alliance could keep up after the later force, he and Zhang Yu were just the opposite, the red rabbit was faster in the first three steps, and the full-court sprint was not as good as LeBron. James.
Mo. Williams sent an aerial relay, James ran to the Knicks basket and had already shaken off all defenders, stepped into the free throw line and jumped with a force. Williams' pass was a two-handed dunk, and the entire basketball hoop was shocked by the little emperor's shocking slam!
Charles. Barkley yelled incredulously: "LeBron. James' dunk is the best of the week! No, wait, Best of the Month! Best of the Year! That's called a dunk! ”
Kenny. Smith was also stunned by James's dunk: "This is the so-called statement dunk, please get out of the way for your own sake!" ”
"Madison Square Garden" became silent after the Gorilla's dunk, and New York fans are still immersed in the shock, putting aside the key factor of playoff opponents, James's previous dunks can also get the slam dunk contest, and the Gorilla is just like Nate Robinson. His dunk belongs to the table xiàn's own bounce, and the performance is talent!
Spike. Li was the first to shout to boo James, this little point when the little emperor returned to defense. Shouting at him, "Your slam dunk won't get a perfect score in the slam dunk contest at all, you can't even win Nate Robinson, I know you'll never participate in the dunk contest, I bet." ”
LeBron. James naturally heard it clearly, and looked at Spike Lee as if he was breathing fire, and the little emperor was so angry with this little little that he smoked.
New York fans reacted at this time, no matter how good the gorilla slam dunk is, it is also the enemy. Madison Square Garden resounded with boos and invective......
Zhang Yu's face is ugly, he is also the slam dunk king of this season, how can James be presumptuous on his home court. This face must be returned.
James was lying in front of Zhang Yu on the defensive end, don't look at the anger on the gorilla's face, but this bastard is very smart and knows that Zhang Yu will definitely make a move. Not worried about West's defense. Just defend yourself once.
"I think Spike Lee is right, your kind of slam dunk to get a slam dunk contest, our little frog can clean you up without me having to do it. By the way, you said that you will participate in the 'Slam Dunk Contest' next year, and if you regret it, the whole world will laugh out of your big teeth! ”
Zhang Yu saw James defending himself personally, and knew that he couldn't do it if he wanted to slam dunk against the gorilla. Even if James can make him dunk and score, his movements must not be good-looking. That's better than not deducting it.
But after the gorilla is disgusted with himself, of course he has to change back, and he wants to disgust everyone together!
James was indeed disgusted, he was forced by Zhang Yu to say that he would participate in the "Slam Dunk Contest" next year, but who would have thought that Zhang Yu would really win the championship, and the dunk action is better than the other, he was going to pretend that there was no such thing, but Zhang Yu has nothing to do with the old love in the media premise, which pot is typical and which pot is not opened!
"I'm not going to participate, you're going to die, unless you give Rakki ten slaps."
James was really angry, and learned Zhang Yu to play a scoundrel, and choked Zhang Yu by the way.
Zhang Yu dribbled and broke through, the continuous feints shook the gorilla's eyes, flashed a gap and immediately stepped to break through, and after landing, he took two steps to jump, dodged the block of Big Z in the air, and a big railing layup put the basketball into the frame!
"Boom......!"
"Madison Square Garden" suddenly boiled, New York fans released their biggest cheers for Zhang Yu's wonderful goal crazy shouting, the fans in their hands all raised the "cheering sticks", the entire stadium instantly became a sea of orange sticks!
"See, but don't think about it, you can't make this kind of chic layup in your life."
Zhang Yu passed by James' side and continued to unleash the taunt skill.
"A guy who can't jump 100cm, you can never dunk like a man."
James was not to be outdone, and also looked for Zhang Yu's weaknesses to attack, and the little emperor himself felt that after these six games, no matter whether he won or lost, at least his trash talk has improved a lot.
"If you continue to talk more nonsense, I'll consider giving each of you a technical foul." The referee on duty came over and warned the two of them for too much trash talk.
Zhang Yuxin said: "Don't just talk about it, don't practice, you are about to play your cards, and the dead orangutan will get out of the way if there is another technical foul." ”
James was startled when he heard this, and immediately did not dare to speak again, he also knew that he had already been charged with a technical foul, and this was no joke.
In the first half of the game, Zhang Yu and James' individual performances could not influence the trend of the game after all, and the Cavaliers were focusing on the low post offense of Big Z throughout the second quarter, and the Lithuanian was in excellent form and repeatedly scored in the low post.
D'Antoni is helpless against this, and the strength to deal with James is not enough against the big Z bag, and the Knicks can only pack James, and the little emperor is the biggest threat.
The score was 52:54, and the Cavaliers led by 2 points to end the first half.
Big Z had 12 points and 5 rebounds, LeBron. James had 12 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists, Mobley had 10 points, Vallejo had 6 points, West had 6 points, and the Cavaliers role players gave LeBron 10 points. James had enough help, but unfortunately they couldn't stop the Knicks' quick counterattack on the defensive end.
In the first half today, the Knicks scored nearly 20 points by relying on a quick counterattack, and as long as the Cavaliers missed the shot, the Knicks immediately launched a fast break regardless of whether they had three, seven, twenty-one.
The Cavaliers mainly play low-post offense, and the disadvantage of Big Z on the court is that the defense is too slow, and even Vallejo is difficult to defend in time in the face of the Knicks' fast attack, and the Cavaliers basically face counterattacks with three defenses and three, and there is no numerical advantage that makes the Knicks' counterattack extremely efficient.
Zhang Yu had 13 points and 5 assists in the first half, Crawford 10 points, Wallace 10 points, and David Lee 8 points.
ESPN reporters stopped Mike at halftime. Brown, the Cavaliers lead by 2 points, and the host followed the usual interview with Black Bread.
Mike. Brown was a little impatient and made a long story short into the microphone that reached out: "The team didn't defend well enough in the first half, and in this stalemate the players have to give everything in their power to win, and now is the time to settle the score, and I want them to show themselves in the second half." ”
"What do you think of the Knicks players?"
Mike. Brown said: "They're good, the quick offense caused us a lot of problems. ”
The ESPN reporter also wanted to ask a question, but the McBrown reporter didn't give him a chance and preemptively said, "That's the second question, right?" After speaking, he waved his hand at the camera and turned to leave.
"Phew, you're going to be eliminated today, two points ahead, what are you doing!"
The ESPN reporter was so by Mike Brown that he couldn't get over it, and cursed Mike in his heart. Brown leaves class at the end of the season.
The Knicks returned to the locker room, D'Antoni closed the door, and let the players massage first, replenish the hydration, and immediately set up the tactics.
However, Zhang Yu thought maliciously in his heart, his coach couldn't figure out how to crack the opponent's low-post attack, and it should be like this when he looked worried.
D'Antoni really can't do anything, don't think that the NBA coach can immediately come up with a solution when he sees the opponent's arrangement, why is the playoffs often a big defeat in the first game and a big win in the second game?
The reason is very simple, this one can't get people, go back and gather the coaching staff to brainstorm, spend a few days to discuss the solution, and use it in the second game to break the other party's arrangement.
Then, in the course of nature, the opposing coach is helpless, and it is the same process after going back, and in the end, it depends on who is more prepared, whose tactics are the most incomprehensible, of course, the latter is linked to the player's ability, and the executor of any tactic is ultimately the player, in the final analysis, the basketball game is still fighting for the player's ability.
Throughout the halftime break, D'Antoni didn't mention much about how to defend Big Z, and only vaguely asked other players to see the situation, but he must give priority to defending his own players and can only be pinched without missing people.
This is the same as not arranging, to cover the enemy will more or less leak people, then the players on the field must be in the spirit of being careful and not making a big mistake, not seeking meritorious service but seeking no fault mentality, and the fool will go back to the bag.
"We have a chance to break through on the offensive end and create damage, especially against their two interior lines, to try to take them down. In addition, Kenyon and Gerrard, when defending LBJ in the second half, may as well be appropriate to provoke him, as everyone knows, he has already committed a technical foul and has a sense of proportion when acting. ”
The mustache is being forced to be anxious, and he is already doing everything, thinking about getting James down, and the implication is probably to provoke his own players and gorillas to end up together, whether it is Kenyon Martin or Wallace, as long as they can fight with James, then their victory in this game will be counted.
Cavaliers' locker room, Mike. Brown is still talking: "Everybody did a good job, we have experience in the Finals, we know better than them what to do when it matters most, in the second half we have to stop their fast break, so we can do without frontcourt rebounds, everyone will return to defense as soon as possible." The interior is responsible for delaying the opposition's passes, jamming their offensive lines and forcing them to take long detours. ”
Black Bread looked at the players and didn't seem to respond much, and clapped his hands vigorously: "Win this game and save the promoted game for our home stadium." ”
James didn't bother to talk to him, sat with his head down, and let the masseuse help him massage and relax the tense muscles all over his body.
The damn Knicks actually demolished all the beds in the away team's locker room, leaving only a few broken stools, and the people sitting in them were particularly uncomfortable, these New Yorkers are so ungentlemanly! (To be continued......)
