Chapter 255: Targeted Arrangement

On May 6, 2009, two days after the Knicks played the Cavaliers.

Zhang Yu was sitting on the sofa at home, holding a gamepad in his hand, and was playing Resident Evil 5 intently. Taylor. Swift was also sitting next to him, also holding a gamepad in his hand, and the two of them didn't go to XXOO, but actually played games together.

Taylor. Swift's technical scum was terrible, and he got rid of a gold medal back leg, and soon killed Zhang Yu again.

The five-haired girl accompanied Zhang Yu to play games to help him relieve pressure.

In the last game, Zhang Yu's table at the last moment was not good, and the number jù was very good-looking, but the table at the critical moment was not as good as LeBron. James.

The American media began to find fault with him again.

The New York media naturally still helped Zhang Yu, he got 45 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists in the last game, and the New York media believes that even if he loses the game, there is nothing to find fault with.

The next game is on May 7, tomorrow night, and they will fly to Cleveland tomorrow morning for a second match.

Tomorrow's game is important, and a win on the road will be key to advancing to the Eastern Conference Finals.

If he falls behind 0:2, even Zhang Yu has no confidence to turn defeat into victory.

D'Antoni is working with his coaching staff at the moment, racking his brains to think about tonight's tactical set-up.

Gerrard. Wallace had proven in his last game that he couldn't defend James one-on-one, and the opponent's 260-pound body was not something he could handle.

The mustache had an idea and came up with a new way to deal with LeBron. James. The whole coaching staff immediately started a discussion......

The outside media still doesn't know that D'Antoni already has a plan in mind.

Major media outlets in New York are also giving advice to the Knicks. James had 47 points, 8 rebounds and 9 assists. almost got 50+10+10, although Zhang Yu's number is not bad, but if James continues to do this, it is almost impossible to win the game, and the little emperor's play must be restricted.

Coincidentally, the Cleveland media is also thinking about this issue these days, although the first game of the Cavaliers won. But it was only a narrow victory, and the two teams ended up with less than five points separating each other, and the Knicks finally had a chance to beat the Cavaliers. Zhang Yu's scoring must be limited in order to win the second match.

Mike. Brown also pondered about this, and in the end it was LeBron. James offered his opinion. After some deliberation, the Coach decided to accept James's proposal, and the Cavaliers were secretly thinking about a way to deal with Zhang Yu.

A whole day. Zhang Yu with big hind legs Taylor. Swift. I only cleared two levels. However, the little rabbit is indeed in a much better mood, and the depression caused by the loss has basically been eliminated. The two didn't do anything to be ashamed of at night, and Zhang Yu didn't want to be weak on the court in tomorrow's game, so he went to bed early to recharge for tomorrow's game.

Both the Knicks and the Cavaliers are racking their brains for Game 2, and the first games of the other teams are also decided, with the Houston Rockets, who are most concerned by Chinese fans, losing the first game at Staples Arena to the Los Angeles Lakers, who are the first place in the West, 92-100.

Yao Ming was injured in the fourth quarter. But he insisted on getting back on the court and won a double-double in his debut in the second round. Contributed 28 points and 10 rebounds.

The Chinese players both played well, but unfortunately they all lost the first game, which disappointed the Chinese fans, and they had a bad premonition, this is the rhythm of both being eliminated!

American fans waved red flags and drums to celebrate the defeat of the two Chinese. In the eyes of Americans, if these two Chinese both reach the East-West finals, or simply meet the finals, it will be a disaster for American basketball!

The Denver Nuggets defeated the Dallas Mavericks in Game 1, the Nuggets Big Three played their power in the playoffs, and the rotten tofu played the best defense of his career in the playoffs. Yes, this guy is in the second round of the playoffs and finally starting to play with his life. At this time, Randolph finally transformed into a big black bear, and the German tank exploded with each other, and the big ass was the hero of the Nuggets' victory.

The other two teams in the East, the Celtics and the Magic fought to overtime, and the Magic relied on the advantage of the home court to win the opponent with difficulty, which in the eyes of the outside world, is completely because the Celtics did not use the hacking tactic.

※※※※※

On May 7, 2009, the Knicks traveled to Cleveland again, they have regarded this game as a life-and-death battle, and there are not many teams in history that can still overtake 0:2.

Zhang Yu hasn't read the newspaper in the past few days, this is what D'Antoni ordered, not only him, but the other players in the team are not allowed to read the newspaper or the news, whoever violates the rules will not be able to play, which is better than GCD!

Of course, D'Antoni's order was more of a joke, and the purpose of not allowing players to read newspapers and news was to protect players from media coverage.

This mandatory order still has an effect, and the Knicks players have basically shaken off the impact of the loss and are ready to win the second game.

At 8 p.m. local time, with half an hour left before the start of the game, D'Antoni made his final mobilization in the dressing room.

"The importance of today's game needs not be said, we have to win in Cleveland, this is a battle of life and death, with all your energy, we have no way back, it's time to fight for the victory!"

The starting lineup of the mustache has not changed today, but the player alignment has changed drastically. D'Antoni opted for Kenyon. Martin went to defend James, just like the Pistons used Ben. Wallace limited the little emperor like D'Antoni wanted the former champion to be able to play against LeBron. James has limitations.

D'Antoni didn't feel he had a problem with his defensive set-up in the first game, with Wallace shooting and the Knicks forming a small encirclement on the inside if James forced his way inside. It's a pity that this set of tactics was not implemented smoothly in the "Quick Loan Stadium", the referee blew very strict on their interior defense, and in the last game, all three of them encountered a foul crisis, and there was no way to talk about the encirclement, and finally Wallace was beaten by a variety of single defenses.

The mustache clearly knows that they will fall into a foul crisis when they play like this in this game, so they can only use Kenyon Martin, who has enough strength and is not slow, to defend LeBron alone. James, Gerald. Wallace waited for an opportunity to make up for it.

Zhang Yu felt that there was another question with such an arrangement, that is, would Wallace be beaten again in the face of Valejo?

That's how he underestimated Gerald. Wallace, as long as you don't meet LeBron. With such a pervert as James, Wallace has the confidence to limit Anderson. Vallejo.

When the Knicks players came out, they were immediately dismounted by the Cavaliers fans, and the earth-shattering boos poured towards the players' tunnel, but fortunately, the Knicks players were used to such boos in the last game, and no one was unusual.

Before the opening, Zhang Yu and James took the initiative to hug, and in the last game, James actually took the initiative to praise Zhang Yu after the game, which made the gap between the two a lot smaller. It is estimated that Zhang Yu called him a gorilla too many times, and unconsciously even LeBron. James himself is accustomed to this setting and accepts this premise.

Speaking of which, even in the United States, fans now call James "gorilla" far more than "king", and American fans are gradually beginning to accept this setting, feeling that the king and the orangutan, or the latter is more pleasant.

The opening jump shot, the Cavaliers won again, and the Knicks switched to defense.

Fans who tuned in to watch the game quickly discovered that it was no longer Wallace who defended James today, but Kenyon. Martin?

Kenyon Martin weighs 250 pounds, which is still a gap with James' 260-pound body, but at least it is not as obvious as Gerald. Wallace was robbed like that.

But can he keep up with James?

The little emperor not only has strength, but also the speed and explosiveness of the No. 3 position, and the 32-year-old Kenyon Martin is no longer the beast inside line of the year.

Kenyon Martin himself knows that he chose to defend James with two steps.

That's right, it's two steps!

LeBron. James can't shoot accurately, everyone defends him by putting shots to prevent breakthroughs, but the highest is to let him go one and a half steps, just like the Spurs always like to do this in the regular season, Popovich puts the little emperor a full step and a half every time.

This time, D'Antoni was even more ruthless, and directly let him go 2 steps, which seems to be too much in the eyes of fans.

Zhang Yu took a look, such a large space, who would dare to defend him like this? 60+ proper.

Kenyon Martin was almost standing in the three-second zone to defend, and James felt insulted and deeply despised so he stepped into the three-point line and immediately made a mid-range jumper.

"Bang dang!"

Kenyon Martin is not completely letting James shoot, his explosiveness still has some balance, when James shoots, grabbing a step can cause some interference to his shooting, at least his eyes are sealed, this is enough for defending James, whether he can score or not depends on how the little emperor feels.

Zhang Yu rushed into the basket today Kenyan. Martin defends James, and the Knicks' already average rebounding is even more precarious, and he must also participate in the team's backcourt rebounding scramble.

Wallace got the rebound under the basket, although Vallejo was tall, but Wallace could jump, although he still suffered a loss in the scramble, but with Zhang Yu's help, the Knicks could barely control the backcourt rebounds by virtue of the numerical advantage.

The Knicks attacked, and fans found that the Cavaliers had also changed their defense today. James personally misplaced to defend him?

In the regular season, James had misplaced Zhang Yu, but the effect of that game was not good, and Zhang Yu cracked James's defense with a flexible breakthrough.

Zhang Yu soon found out that the Cavaliers' defense of him today and the Knicks' defense of James were completely opposite, and James used his body to defend him continuously and oppressively, all to prevent his shooting and force him to break through inside.

The Cavaliers shrunk inside like the Knicks, and the players were standing in the three-second zone to defend, which was to let him throw himself into the net. (To be continued......)
