Chapter 258: Sharpening the Spear in Battle
The second game between the Cleveland Cavaliers and the New York Knicks ended with a big win for the Knicks.
The final score was 108:88, the Cavaliers lost to the Knicks with a score of 20 points, and Zhang Yu got 25 points, 4 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 steals.
The Cavaliers could lose Game 2, which is normal, and most of the media before the game thought that the victory was 46 open, the Cavaliers had a bigger chance of winning, and it was normal for the Knicks to win.
But everyone didn't expect that the Cavaliers would lose by 20 points as soon as they lost, and the Knicks only lost by a few points in the first game.
LeBron. James played 35 minutes in the game, and the lack of playing time was due to the fact that the game went into garbage time early in the second half of the third quarter. In 35 minutes of playing time, James scored 18 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists.
Looks pretty good?
But if you add in his 4-of-12 shooting, I'm afraid no one would think so.
James was released two steps away from the whole game, and the Knicks gave him the space, which was really envious of Kobe Bryant, who was sandwiched by Artest and Battier throughout the game.
No one dared to use this kind of defense against Kobe and Zhang Yu, but the Knicks did this to James, and the effect was surprisingly good.
Popovich, who has already gone home early for the Spurs, has made a rare suggestion that D'Antoni should have done it a long time ago because he had already demonstrated it in 2007. Bruce. Bowen defends well, not necessarily better than Gerrard. Wallace. Popovich said that D'Antoni didn't need to use Kenyon Martin to defend James at all, it was completely unnecessary. With Gerald. Wallace is enough.
Cleveland's Larkey doesn't admit that James is restricted, arguing that it's just a matter of feel, and that no one can have a great feel every game. The Knicks won't go winless either. In the next game, James will definitely adjust his condition, and the two-time MVP is not so easy to be limited.
It's a pity that except for the local media in Cleveland, other media suddenly turned the limelight and began to look at the Cavaliers. James's appearance this time is not as simple as occasionally feeling bad, and the problems they have exposed are not limited to this, and the configuration of the entire Cavaliers team is very unreasonable.
The first is that the interior attack ability is not enough. Big Z only scored 7 points in Game 2, Vallejo only had an unstable mid-range shot, and Ben Wallace was never an interior player who could score. The Cavaliers' three interior lines look even shabby than the Knicks.
David Lee scored 15 points in the second game, and his interior table is remarkable, except for his short height, he really looks better than the Cavaliers' three interior lines. Birdman is always energetic defensively. Kenyon. Martin's playoff season has been exploding. The last game even restricted James, and this old champion is quite an old man talking about juvenile madness.
The backcourt configuration, the Knicks made the Cavaliers jealous, Crawford showed the best sixth man in the league in the last game, and the Cavaliers were powerless, not to mention Zhang Yu, every game aggravated the melancholy man's illness by one point. If this is played in seven games, it is estimated that West will commit suicide directly.
The Cavaliers have always watched James play alone. He's okay, the Cavaliers can cut the Lakers and the Green Shirts under the horse. Contrarily. Once James had a dizziness, the Cavaliers immediately returned to their true colors, as the last game was the best example.
Losing the second game, the Cavaliers' home-court advantage is gone, and the third game will be moved to New York, if the Cavaliers can't get a road away in New York, once the overall score becomes 1:3, the Cleveland people's playoff journey may be stopped in the second round.
The third match between the two teams will be played on May 10.
On May 8, another game that Chinese fans are also watching, the second game between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Houston Rockets, also had a result.
The Rockets were not as lucky as the Knicks, and they still lost to the Lakers on the second road, with the overall score becoming 0:2, and the Houstoners' chances of qualifying were already small, and everyone was optimistic that the Lakers would reach the Western Conference Finals in a row.
Kobe Bryant scored 40 points in this game and shot 16 of 27, which was a number of points scored under the defense of Artest and Battier, and for a while, the boss's fans and Lakers fans laughed at James, who was so passively defended by an expired old guy, and dared to argue with No. 24?
Even the Los Angeles media, such as Sabi, who had been on the same side as Rakhi, began to blacken the gorillas.
This made Laki furious, and the two dogs immediately turned against each other and began to bite each other, Zhang Yu rarely had no one to hack him.
For a while in the alliance, the war between the 24th and 23rd quietly started again, and the forums on the two sides began to attack each other, which was much louder than when Zhang Yu provoked the two at the beginning.
The boss's playoff table in the past two years is indeed against the sky, with an average of 30+5+5 per game, and the shooting rate can still maintain more than 45%, and the number of jù is not down but rising compared to the regular season, which is completely worthy of his ability value of 99.
The more critical the moment, the more difficult it is for Kobe to defend.
Zhang Yu actually thinks in his heart that James is still not as good as No. 24 in the past two years, unless he practices his shooting and then practices back kung fu, then he has the capital to compete with the boss, but at that time, I'm afraid Kobe Bryant is already old.
In the past two days, Ai Yueer and Xia Wei have returned to San Francisco, and it is said that they are busy with the establishment of a new headquarters.
Zhang Yu was up and down in his heart, although these two girls didn't ask him, the big boss behind the scenes, but he could guess with his toes that this was definitely to set up a new headquarters in New York.
"Minecraft" has sold 600,000 copies so far, and even the "Wall Street Journal" appropriately mentioned Zhang Yu's deeds of making money and hanging the sky. This game, which Zhang Yu has never played until now, has brought him nearly 10 million US dollars in income, which makes him, a local tyrant, feel incredible. In particular, this game is full of stamina, and its sales continue to rise, and the more it sells, the more it is sold, the more popular it is, which surprises many peers in the game industry.
After the "Rabbit Studio" increased the number of people, the development progress of DAZY was repeatedly accelerated, but the two little girls decided that the first version of the beta version would be released after it was more refined, so the release date was not advanced, but postponed to the summer of 2010. With sufficient funds, Ai Yue'er no longer plans to release a semi-finished product, they plan to make a finished product and sell it.
They will also release a mini-game in the near future, which is a mobile game for Android and iPhoneOS. A puzzle game designed by Fan, called "Plants vs. Zombies", Ai Yueer is very optimistic about this game, and is ready to launch it after the recent improvement, not only the mobile version, but also the PC version.
When Zhang Yu heard that it was a game on the mobile phone, he showed a disdainful expression at that time, but this expression was clearly seen by the little girl, and she immediately made Ai Yue'er half angry.
※※※※※
In the blink of an eye, it has come to May 10, and today is the third big game between the New York Knicks and the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Several other teams have all finished the second game, the Lakers lead the Rockets 2:0, the Nuggets lead the Mavericks 2:0, and the Celtics lead the Magic 2:0, all three teams have won their respective opponents 2:0, only the Cavaliers and Knicks are 1:1, and these two teams are also the first two teams to start the third game.
The first home game of the second round of the Knicks, the ticket to "Madison Square Garden" has multiplied several times, and it is still priceless and unavailable.
Taylor. Swift, of course, supported her little boyfriend in the front row, and she didn't have to worry about tickets.
The Knicks snatched a valuable away victory, much to the delight of the New York fans, who were so frenetic that they were about to demoralize the Cavaliers with their boos and make it impossible for them to find their way north in "Madison Square Garden."
Many New York fans have deliberately made all kinds of sarcasm and teasing LeBron. James's poster, they used their imagination to the fullest, and made all kinds of portraits insulting James, including a poster that implied that West and James's old lady were married, which made all James fans want to drag this fan out and beat him to death, isn't it illegal to spread rumors like this?
Before the game, in the Cavaliers locker room, Mike . Brown was cheering up his players and boosting the team's morale.
In the past few days, they have focused their training on outside projection, which, in Chinese terms, is called grinding guns in battle. It's actually Mike. Brown has nothing to do now, the other party has made it clear that James can shoot, as long as the little emperor can shoot, the opponent's arrangement will be self-defeating.
Both teams played, with their respective starting line-ups the same as in the previous two games, and there were no secrets from either team in this regard.
The Cavaliers' defensive arrangement today is different from the last game, West follows the body, the main defense Zhang Yu shoots, and the interior is responsible for helping to defend the breakthrough, which is the most suitable defense for Zhang Yu. As for the effect, it depends on the defensive ability of the follow-up players, as well as the ability to assist the defense inside. It's a pity that the Cavaliers are not doing well in these two aspects, they are not as good as the Heat team that was eliminated by the Knicks, and the Heat at least has Wade, who defended for a while, so that Zhang Yu can average less than 20 points per game in five games.
In the opening scrum, this time the Cavaliers sent Brazilian actor Vallejo, and the Cavaliers defeated the Knicks and won the opening ball!
James dribbled the ball himself, and the Knicks didn't use Kenyon Martin to defend him today, and they traded back to Gerrard. Wallace. Although Martin defended well in the last game, his knee was a little uncomfortable after the game, and his body could not support such a stressful task of defending James.
D'Antoni is worried that if he defends again, Kenyon Martin may be reimbursed, so he can only be replaced by Gerrard. Wallace.
Wallace's poor defense in the first game was not due to his lack of defensive ability, but to the problem of the moustache defensive arrangement and the improper use of players. This is Popovich's criticism of D'Antoni, although the mustache wants to strangle the dead old man, but Popovich is right, Gerard. Wallace put James two steps, and he could defend well.
James saw that the other party took two more steps to let him go, glanced at the basket, and shot outside the three-point line to try his feel today.
Wallace pounced, and his instantaneous explosiveness was better than Kenyon Martin's, which interfered with James' shooting vision.
In this regard, Gerald. Wallace did better than Kenyon Martin. (To be continued......)
