Date: 2014-02-03

Today, the Cavaliers in Cleveland will face the challenge of the Chicago Bulls, this game will be directly related to whether the Cavaliers can advance or not, if the battle can end in this game, then, the Cavaliers will have more rest time Now the game between the Pistons and the Nets looks like it will take at least six games to end, because the Pistons, as the second in the East, how can they be eliminated by the Nets, the sixth place, in 5 games, and even the two teams will have a tie-break, in that case, the Cavaliers' players will be happy, Because the longer you rest, the better you can keep up with your good spirit and be ready to play

Before the start of the game between the Cavaliers and the Bulls, James said to Chen Jiyuan: "How, Chen, do you have confidence in today's game?"

Chen Jiyuan didn't speak, took the basketball that came, then threw it to the rebound, quickly ran to the direction of the rebound of the basketball, caught the basketball with one hand, and then stopped slightly in the air, and slammed the basket with enough strength to sway, making a squeaky sound, this voice is Chen Jiyuan's answer - must win

When the game started, Chen Jiyuan still easily dialed the ball to Hughes, the Cavaliers started the first offense, Hughes faced Hinrich breakthrough, it was still not so simple, James stuck Deng, reached out for the ball, Hughes passed the ball, James jumped up and received the ball and turned around, facing Deng to attack, the current James is not as offensive as in the future, the current James is not as comprehensive as the offensive level in the future, and now James's long shot and back are his offensive blind spots, which will gradually improve in the NBA career in the future, to 2012, James's back-to-back skills have been comprehensively improved, James finally tasted the championship this year, and that year, James's three-point shooting rate was also his highest, 36.2% shooting rate is the highest three-point shooting rate since James entered the league, but this record was broken the next year, in 2013, James's three-point shooting rate soared to 40.6%, averaging 3.3 three-pointers per game, this year, James won the championship again

When James turned around, Deng's nerves tightened to an unprecedented point James probed to the right, Deng didn't shake, James clicked with his right foot again, Deng still didn't react, James Xun added directly from the right side, used his left shoulder to exert force, resisted Deng, so that Deng had no way to prevent his own simple plus breakthrough When Deng lost his defensive position, James didn't give Deng a chance, and it was directly a layup under the basket, and the ball hit 2:0

The Bulls attacked, Hinrich did not give the ball to Gordon, because today James followed Gordon closely, when Hinrich looked at Gordon, James would cut off Hinrich's passing route, James both height and arm span are enough to help James limit Gordon's offense In this case, Hinrich knows that he must let others open it first, and then share the offensive pressure with Gordon, so that Gordon can easily have offensive opportunities

This ball Hinrich chose to shoot by himself, when PJ Brown's cover came, Hinrich took two steps and shot directly in the middle of the shot, Hughes tried his best to interfere, it had an effect, Hinrich missed the shot Chen Jiyuan struggled to grab the backcourt rebound

The Cavaliers attacked, this time James gave the ball to Chen Jiyuan, who came to cover in the high position, and Chen Jiyuan shot directly in the middle of the street and hit 4:0

The Bulls attacked, this time Hinrich gave the ball to Gordon, and then Gordon used the cover of PJ Brown to ask James for defense, Gooden just reached out to interfere with Gordon's advance, James quickly chased Gordon, but Gordon shot the ball before James arrived, and hit 4:2

Gooden is a defensive weakness of the Cavaliers, but it is not so obvious, because for the scoring maniac on the inside, it is generally defended by Chen Jiyuan, although Chen Jiyuan's defensive awareness is average, but Chen Jiyuan's defense is to reach out and interfere, and if you don't jump lightly, it won't be so light yì is made foul, this is Chen Jiyuan's defensive principle, even if you score, you can't foul it, which is also the reason why Chen Jiyuan is an inside player, and a top soldier in the interior defense, but he can average less than 3 fouls per game in the season

The knight's attack was handed over to Chen Jiyuan, Chen Jiyuan received the ball at 45 degrees on the right side, and the rest of the people tried to pull away as much as possible, standing outside the 45-degree three-point line on the right side was Alexander, who had a certain three-point ability, at this time, Gordon, who was defending Alexander, was dangling back and forth between Chen Jiyuan and Alexander, first wrapping Chen Jiyuan, Chen Jiyuan saw that Gordon was coming, and did not pass the ball at the first time, but continued to hit Wallace uselessly, Gordon finally gave up Alexander completely, and wrapped Chen Jiyuan, Gordon waved his arms hard, hoping to interfere with Chen Jiyuan's pass, but the height gap between Gordon and Chen Jiyuan was slightly bigger, so Chen Jiyuan still passed the ball to Alexander, Alexander received the ball and shot directly into three points, Gordon ran to Alexander at the moment of Chen Jiyuan's pass, but it was still too late, Alexander successfully hit a three-point shot, and Chen Jiyuan got an assist 7:2

Now the Cavaliers have seized the weakness of the Bulls and attacked vigorously, as long as the Bulls clamp Chen Jiyuan, Chen Jiyuan can basically get assists, for no pressure shots, the Cavaliers' teammates are still relatively sure, unless the Bulls let Wallace defend Chen Jiyuan alone, in fact, a big reason for the current situation is Skyles's mistakes, or Skyles's wrong strategy leads to the current Bulls' passivity, because Skyles attaches too much importance to Chen Jiyuan, Now the Bulls are behind by a big score, because since Chen Jiyuan scored 47 points in the first game, Skyles began to doubt Wallace's single defense ability, although such a thing should not happen, but we have to say that this qiē stems from Skyles' distrust of Wallace, for this guy, and the head coach Skyles is not proud because Skyles didn't want Wallace at that time, for a player like Wallace, Although he has played a good defensive reputation under Brown, Wallace's height problem still makes Skyles look down on him, in fact, this is also discrimination, Wallace can sue Skyles In the first playoff game with the Cavaliers, Wallace's defense allowed Chen Jiyuan to score 47 points, which made Skyles not believe in Wallace's defense, or did not believe that Wallace's single-defense restriction ability of Chen Jiyuan's resolute wrapping tactics gave the rest of the Cavaliers a good offensive opportunity, That's one of the reasons why the Cavaliers have played so well in these games

In the first quarter of today, the Cavaliers passed the ball to Chen Jiyuan first, and once he attracted the bag, there was no bag in the middle of the ball, and Chen Jiyuan turned over and hit a jumper, which made Skyles's determination to wrap up

In fact, Skels doesn't have to be so resolute to wrap Chen Jiyuan at all, although Chen Jiyuan's offense is indeed very good, but in fact, if the Bulls let Chen Jiyuan play alone, it will be less than the current loss of points, even if Chen Jiyuan's turnaround jump shot is accurate, under Wallace's defense, it is impossible to always maintain a high hit, the first game is because Chen Jiyuan's hand is hot, so he will cut 47 points, but he did not expect that this high score has become a turning point that changed the trend of the entire series

Now that the Cavaliers are leading by a big score, the players of the Cavaliers have no psychological pressure for those pressure-free shots that Chen Jiyuan has separated, and the players of the Cavaliers have a high offensive hit rate

At the end of the game, the Bulls were behind the Cavaliers 20:28 as always, and now if the Bulls want to win, the most important thing is to let go of Chen Jiyuan and let Wallace defend alone, which is a change that must be made-
