Chapter 262: The Almighty Gorilla

In the last section, Mike. Before this game, in addition to practicing shooting, the whole team was training to press all over the court, in order to use it unprepared at critical moments, and now is the critical moment.

As soon as the Cavaliers came on the court, they immediately pressed the whole court, and everyone confirmed their defensive goals as soon as possible.

Nate. Robinson had good ball handling, and in the face of tight defense, the dribble accelerated to get rid of the Cavaliers' backup point guard Daniel. Gibson.

The Cavaliers inside make up for the leak under the basket, and Nate. Robinson dribbled out by himself, at this time his poor passing ability was exposed, and in the face of the Cavaliers' pressing defense, although he could ensure that the basketball was not lost, he could not pass the ball either, so he could only play alone.

Nate. Robinson missed two consecutive offensive shots to make it 66-68, and the Cavaliers quickly overtook the score.

D'Antoni gestured on the sidelines to play Quentin in the low post. Richardson, Ah Q weighs 230 pounds and has some low-post singles ability.

Anyway, Nate. Robinson can't afford to be lucky anymore, and they can't afford to squander it.

The Knights' pressing is man-to-man, but they can turn man-to-man into a joint defense at any time, forming a numerical advantage for encirclement.

Richardson just received the basketball in the low post, and was caught by the opponent and had to dribble away, the Knicks' low post offense couldn't play at all, they didn't have players who were really good at this, and the outside line was not enough to open up space.

Chandler received a pass and tried to shoot a three-pointer from the outside, but missed. There is a danger that the score will be pulled apart.

In the cheers of the fans in the stadium, although the Cavaliers were explosive defensively, they didn't really take advantage of their chances on the offensive end. Failed to take advantage of the Knicks' mess during this time to score enough points.

At 9 minutes and 38 seconds, the Cavaliers changed to the main lineup and took the lead in the decisive stage.

Zhang Yu had almost rested, D'Antoni didn't dare to let him rest anymore, and replaced all the main forces-for-tat, and the two teams began to play with their lives.

With a score of 68:72, the Cavaliers came off the bench today. If they don't attack well, they use defense to drive, and they beat up the Knicks' bench fat instead.

After Zhang Yu came on the court, the Cavaliers didn't dare to play like this anymore. He, Crawford and Wallace were on the court, and they weren't afraid of the Cavaliers' full-court defense.

When Zhang Yu and Crawford play at the same time as dual controls, the Knicks' tactical flexibility can be maximized.

The two worked together for nearly 700 minutes in the regular season, outscoring opponents by 18.1 points per 100 possessions.

Why?

Because they can switch between having and not having the ball at will. Three-point shooting is over 40 percent and 36 percent. One man in possession of the ball. The other person can go to the wing as a fixed-point shooter at the right time, and with Wallace, there are two excellent breakout points, and the outside offensive and defensive efficiency of the three people is so efficient that they can rank in the top three in the league, and the Knicks are relying on their outside line to achieve the fourth place in the East.

In the fourth quarter of the Cavaliers, McBrown played LeBron Brown. James switched to the No. 4 position, partnered with Vallejo, and played a three-two defense. Szzczebiak, who has been in good form this year, played as a small forward.

The opponent's three-two defense naturally had to break through, and the Cavaliers stood under the basket with Vallejo and James. But these two people are not easy to deal with. Vallejo defends quickly on the weak side and has a wide range. James is even more explosive, even if he defends the three-second zone, he can return to the basket in time, and the Cavaliers' formation is infallible and powerful.

Zhang Yu broke through with the ball, was entangled by James on the inside, and there was no passing route to the outside ball, and the three players on the outside of the Cavaliers retracted, and surrounded him in the three-second zone.

"Damn, fooled!"

Zhang Yu suddenly regretted rushing in and smashed the ball at James's feet, but the little emperor reacted quickly and quickly dodged, and the basketball passed directly to Mo Williams' hand, making a mistake!

James' defense this time greatly boosted the morale of the team, and the Cavaliers quickly counterattacked, James did not celebrate the break, and ran wildly, like a small tank crushing the Knicks halfcourt.

Gerrard. Wallace has changed his defense to Szczebiak after James' change of position, Kenyon Martin can't catch up with the little emperor, James is like a wild horse, no one can limit it anymore, and he rushed to the front court to catch the ball and staged a powerful tomahawk split!

LeBron. James slapped his chest hard after landing on the ground, and the whole person was like a ferocious orangutan, pulling out the mountain and covering the world!

With a score of 68:74, D'Antoni had to call a timeout at this time, and the shape had quietly reversed, and now it was the Knicks who were standing on the edge of the cliff.

Charles. Barkley said on the live stream: "It's all about good defense, and the Cavaliers proved that to us, even if the offense is like a piece of shit, they can win games. ”

Kenny. Smith disagreed: "There's still a good quarter to go, and maybe you'll say it in a minute: even if the defense is like a piece of, the offense can win the game." ”

Barkley asked rhetorically, "Isn't it?" ”

Kenny. Smith was not as thick-skinned as him, so he could only say helplessly: "We should pay attention to why the Cavaliers overtook the score, and moving James to the No. 4 position is an extremely brilliant change of formation for McBrown." Anyone can win now, and every time you have the ball, it's crucial. ”

Barkley couldn't agree more: "James can play in the No. 4 position, he weighs 265 pounds or more, and he is over 205cm tall, he has a physical advantage over me, and if you think of him as a No. 4 player, then his projection is not too bad." But he has a shortcoming as an insider, his back-to-back ability is more important to the inside, as long as he doesn't practice his back-to-back ability, I don't think he has the ability to surpass Kobe, and he can't surpass me. ”

D'Antoni called a timeout, but there was nothing he could do about James' mustache for a while, so he could only try to shrink the inside, rely on the numerical advantage to trap James, and not give him a chance to attack the basket. But the downside of this is also obvious, the Cavaliers put three three-point shooters on the perimeter, which is not pretty, and once they shrink their perimeter defense, they will be extremely weak in case they are shot two three-pointers. It's just as bad!

Mike. Brown praised the players, Black Bread is in a good mood right now, and the change of formation just now is simply his dumb cat running into a dead mouse. The measures under the indiscriminate treatment of diseases, even he did not expect that the effect would be so good. When you think about it, there are a lot of benefits to moving James to the No. 4 position.

The assistant coach of the Cavaliers, there was no arrangement at all during the entire 60-second timeout, and he still let the players play according to the arrangement of the last timeout. Then go ahead.

Speaking of Mike. Brown's change of formation, how can he have any credit, it can only be said that LeBron. James himself is all-powerful. Able to play all positions from the No. 1 to No. 5 positions, this kind of player is replaced by a master tactician, such as Popovich, and the little emperor is sure to be able to play all kinds of tricks by him.

After re-playing. Zhang Yu dodged a gap and fired a cannon on the outside. Hit a long-range two-pointer to narrow the score to four points.

The Cavaliers attacked, and James actually hit Kenyon with his back under the basket. Martin.

Although the little emperor is not very good at shooting with his back, he relies on his strength to push to the basket, whether it is turning around to break through or hitting the board to shoot, he still has a certain shooting rate, especially his breakthrough, and he can also cause damage if he can't score the ball.

Kenyon. Martin topped for five seconds. The position has gone into the three-second zone.

Zhang Yu didn't dare to go in the bag, and the other two outside lines were the same. This time period is too important, and being hit by a three-pointer from outside the court is a serious blow to the situation and morale on the court.

James suddenly turned and broke through, Kenyon Martin was turned by the little emperor when he took a step back, and it was too late to come up and block again, James scored a goal with a close-range throw.

The New York fans were booing James at this time, and the gorilla was already a little crazy at this time, and he punched the fans holding the portraits of his mother and West, venting his anger for a game.

Zhang Yu also has some opinions about that fan, after all, such a brand is too much, and it is almost the same as a female orangutan and James, what is the matter with the old mother?

The Knicks attacked, at this time even Crawford didn't dare to attack by himself, everyone knows that now is the time to compete, no side can afford to lose, at this time you can only hand over the ball to the team boss, and give the ball to the person who is most sure.

Zhang Yu began to control the ball from the backfield, his face was cold, he had already focused on this attack, the difference between the two teams was still 6 points, and if he didn't hit, he might continue to be widened, and they couldn't lose their first home game.

The Knicks players ran in the frontcourt, Kenyon Martin blocked and picked up on the outside, and immediately went down after the cover, and David Lee pulled out at the same time to clear the basket.

Zhang Yu now has a variety of options to break through, and in the end he chooses to shoulder the responsibility himself and act as the terminator himself.

James and West both pounced, and Zhang Yu still shot under the defense of the two.

"Bang!"

The basketball missed, but Kenyon Martin jumped up under the basket, caught the flying basketball again, and dunked the basketball into the basket!

The New York fans at "Madison Square Garden" almost had a heart attack in fright, clutching their chests and cheering violently!

They knew that if the ball couldn't be scored, it would be over, but fortunately, the old champion gave his strength and made up the new champion's shot into the basket.

Zhang Yu high-fived Kenyon Martin fiercely, and James next to him received the serve with an expressionless face, and then immediately advanced with the ball.

"Quickly return to defense, the orangutan is cunning, he wants to attack!"

After the Knicks scored, the defense was focused, and Wallace and Crawford returned to the half court in time, and it stands to reason that James did not have a chance to launch a fast break.

That's right, the average player is true, but James can't be measured by the average player, this guy directly treats the two Knicks players as air, and dribbles the ball to the Knicks in the half.

Zhang Yu chased after him, plus Crawford and Wallace, the speed of the four people turned on at full strength, and the New York fans only felt that their eyes were blinking, and these four people had already passed half the time...... In the blink of an eye, it was already in the three-point line......

"What is he going to do? One beats three? ”

Even Cavaliers fans feel that James is reckless, but James himself doesn't have time to think so much, his speed is extremely fast, at this time he has reached the Knicks' three-point line, and as soon as he stops, he will fall into the three-man bag, and the gorilla has no way to retreat now, only one way forward...... (To be continued......)
