Chapter 254
The referee blew the whistle in his mouth, Zhang Yu's ball was obviously fouled, and the sound of hitting James's hand was heard clearly by the referee through a loudspeaker.
The Knicks had already had more than four fouls, and James went to the free throw line.
LeBron. James rubbed the back of his hand, he couldn't train muscles in this place, and he was hurt by Zhang Yu's slap. The little emperor has reason to think that he has been yin again, and Zhang Yu definitely deliberately fouled him, in order to make him miss the free throw.
Zhang Yu said that he really didn't have such a black belly, and his purpose was to break the ball, not to break the hand.
James hit one of two free throws to make it 84-86 and give the Cavaliers a two-point lead with 58 seconds left on the game time.
D'Antoni called another timeout to set up the next attack. The mustache didn't see that Zhang Yu was ready to rebel at this time, although D'Antony was not satisfied with the foul just now, thinking that it was a meaningless foul, but fortunately, the result was not bad, and James only got one point.
"We're playing three-point shooting this time, this is the home court of the Cavaliers, it's not good for us to go on in a stalemate, finish them with three points!"
D'Antoni is still very much in line with Zhang Yu's appetite in terms of offense, and the mustache specially arranged a three-point shot strategy for Zhang Yu this time, and the whole process of his baseline cross running is very ingenious.
At the end of the timeout, the Knicks players returned to the court and began to run according to the tactics laid out by D'Antoni, and Zhang Yu finally got an open three-point opportunity on the wing, although James quickly pounced, but Zhang Yu had enough time to shoot.
Cavaliers fans saw Zhang Yu shooting outside the three-point line, and their hearts were so frightened that their hearts were about to jump out. The gorilla's block was a step late, and the basketball left Zhang Yu's hand, drawing a wonderful arc and flying towards the Cavaliers' basket......
"Don't enter!"
Many Cavaliers fans at the scene shouted directly. Hopefully, it can affect Zhang Yu's shooting. They have reason to be so afraid, among the many players in the NBA now, Zhang Yu's shooting is the most scary, and the arc he throws gives people the impression that he will definitely score, which looks the most scary!
"Bang!"
This sound of striking iron made the "Quick Loan Center" let out a deafening cheer, which was too scary......
"Rebound!"
The Cavaliers' crisis is not over yet, and Wallace grabbed the basketball first spot on the inside. The defensive stalwart averaged eight rebounds per game in the regular season. The Knicks' two interior players are too short to often be able to control rebounds. Wallace is the key to keeping them from being blown up on the rebound.
Gerrard. Wallace took advantage of LeBron's this time. James made up for it to the perimeter. Caught up in a crucial rebound under the basket and then immediately shot to tie the score for the Knicks.
With a score of 86:86, the Knicks scored ridiculously little today. If overtime is not played. It is difficult to score more than 90. It stands to reason that it is generally difficult for the Knicks to win games if they don't score 100 points, but today there were some exceptions, and the Cavaliers offense was even worse, and they spent all their energy on defense and played a game with the Knicks in the quagmire.
The Cavaliers didn't call a timeout, LeBron. James turned into a small forward with the ball and attacked with the ball himself.
The Little Emperor dribbles and stops at the top of the arc. Waiting for his teammates to run, Vallejo pulled out and made a simple pick-and-roll with James. The Little Emperor intends to break through Gerald with this. Wallace.
"This is so contemptuous of me!"
Wallace felt that James was playing him like this, and it was too much of a sight to behold, even though the gorillas had already played him like this for the whole game today.
Zhang Yu has been staring at James, looking for a pinching opportunity, and this time Wallace had a delay on James, so that the latter did not break through successfully in the first place.
James still wanted to continue to rush in, Zhang Yu would not give him this opportunity, grabbed it in two steps, and reached out to the basketball in James's hand......
"I've been staring at you!"
James showed a lewd smile, although the orangutan didn't want to be so obscene, but it was not easy for his face to show a good-looking smile, and it was estimated that he would have to go to South Korea a few times to have hope.
Zhang Yu was taken aback, and his face changed, because James actually passed the basketball behind him first, and he knew better than anyone who it was, it was the melancholy man who had been abused by him for a game!
Delonti. West was defended by Zhang Yu in a game and had no chance, and only scored a total of 5 points so far, which can be described as terrible. However, at the most critical moment of the game, this hypochondritic had a chance to strike the fatal blow!
There were still 30 seconds left in the game, West shot three points in an empty position, and it was too late for Zhang Yu to go back to block it, and he stumbled his foot in a hurry, looking extremely wolf!
The basketball flew in the air, and the arc drawn seemed far less than Zhang Yu's feeling of "this ball must be entered", but the ball just fell into the basket and hollowed into the net!
"Made!"
West's three-point shot made Zhang Yu feel uncomfortable, and he was almost depressed. If he doesn't flank James, he's not responsible for losing points. Now taking it upon himself to flank James is not only disobeying the head coach's orders, but also likely to be thankless.
What is self-inflicted cleverness, he is the best teaching material, just like now, if you lose, the responsibility will be transferred to him, isn't this looking for your own pot?
Zhang Yu knew what mistake he had made, he did something inappropriate at the wrong time, this ball was really his responsibility, and he once again suffered the bitter fruit of his own assertions.
The score was 86:89, and the Cavaliers relied on this three-pointer to lead the Knicks by three points, and with 28 seconds left in the game, they normally only had one offensive chance.
"Coach, I was wrong, this ball is my responsibility, I am too arrogant."
D'Antoni called a timeout, and the mustache didn't say anything to Zhang Yu, pretending that nothing had happened just now. Of course, he wanted to spray Zhang Yu twice, but he didn't dare. Without him, just because Zhang Yu is too famous, and there is still the team boss standing behind him, who dares to offend? However, D'Antoni did not expect that Zhang Yu would take the initiative to admit his mistake.
Seeing the still immature face of his core, the mustache waved his hand: "There is still a chance, we haven't lost yet, we must succeed in this attack, it is still the tactics just now, but we have to execute it in reverse, we have practiced many times in the tactics class, but this time we have to complete it more beautifully, which is related to our victory or defeat." ”
The Cavaliers didn't expect the Knicks to play the same tactics last time, West was a beat slower, and with David Lee's cover, Zhang Yu got another open opportunity on the other wing.
Zhang Yu will not let go of such an opportunity again, he raised his hand to throw the basketball, a beautiful arc crossed in the sky, and the basketball fell straight into the net!
The score was 89:89, and the Knicks equalized.
With 18 seconds left, the Cavaliers still had the initiative in the game. Brown called the only timeout left to set up the final offense, a 20-second timeout.
"We all know what they're going to do, this time we're going to wrap him up, we can't get James close to the basket, we're going to have to watch out for our defenders, we've got to defend this offense!" After D'Antoni finished speaking, even he felt a pain in his own eyes. How can you prevent James from shooting and at the same time defend against your own opponents? It's a huge task, and even he, the manager, thinks his players can't do it.
The Cavaliers' serve-and-serve tactics were executed, and James used his teammates to cover the basket close to the midcourt.
It was the last attack of the game, and James watched the timer near the top of the arc, dribbling in place to press the time, not ready to give the Knicks another chance.
How will the Cavaliers play? Even Zhang Yu knows this question.
There are only two answers, either James breaks through and scores, or James breaks through the ball.
The Cavaliers fans all stood up and shouted the slogan of "James MVP" in unison, and the shouts of the mountains and tsunamis resounded throughout the "Quick Loan Center", and the cheers of the fans were an encouragement to the Cavaliers and a huge pressure on the Knicks.
As the game entered the last eight seconds, Vallejo pulled out to cover, James began to dribble and break through, and Zhang Yu fell into hesitation on the court......
He felt like he should go for the pack, but once he let go of West, James had a chance to pass open shots like he did last time, which is a Gorilla stunt, and that's what he likes to do the most.
"What to do? Shall I help? If I don't go to the pinch, I don't have my responsibility, and if I go to the pinching and let the melancholy man score, I will be the sinner who loses! In an instant, Zhang Yu's mind turned sharply, several thoughts rose, and he fell into a hesitation, hesitating.
James wouldn't let him think about it, and just as he hesitated, the little emperor had already entered the inner line.
The Cavaliers' tactics couldn't be simpler, but with James' body is the most practical tactic. Wallace was blocked by Vallejo, Kenyon. Martin switches to James.
James didn't dive to the bottom, made a sharp stop at the horns, and threw a jumper with a step-back jumper to the basketball......
Kenyon. Martin was already in place, reaching out to cover the little emperor's eyes, which was considered a successful defense.
Everyone looked at the basket, and the basketball thrown by James drew a powerful arc, as if with a whistling sound, under the lucky gaze of the Knicks, they plunged into the net!
The "Quick Loan Center" instantly resounded with thunderous cheers, and a huge sound poured out along the roof of the stadium, so that the fans outside could also feel the joy in the stadium!
D'Antoni cursed in a low voice and quickly looked at the timer, there were only 1.5 seconds left, but they had no timeout and had to serve from the back.
James didn't have time to celebrate, so he pestered Zhang Yu for the first time and didn't let him catch the ball.
The Cavaliers players had the boss take the lead, and then the morale of the peak was raised, and all the players who were dangerous at the Knicks' one, two, and three positions were watched, and David Lee saw that he was about to make free throws, so he could only pass the basketball to Kenyon Martin.
After receiving the ball, Kenyon Martin threw it directly to the front court, and as soon as the basketball was shot, the Cavaliers fans had already "banged", cheering and shouting to celebrate their victory!
Everyone has seen that Kenyon Martin's trend is outrageous, and it is impossible to even touch a rebound! (To be continued......)
