Mike. Brown is already broken at the moment, and since he didn't call a timeout before, now that there are nine seconds left in the first half, he won't call it anymore.

The Cavaliers didn't call a timeout, but D'Antoni did, and they still had a 20-second timeout, which was a waste if they didn't have to put it down, and they couldn't take it to the second half. It just so happened that the Cavaliers' last defense played a full-court press, and Zhang Yu was closely defended and couldn't catch the basketball.

The Knicks called a timeout, which made Mike even more apparent. Brown was like an idiot on the court, and many Cavaliers fans looked at Mike. Brown booed and they weren't going to blame LeBron. James, black bread is naturally the best target for outrage.

Cavaliers fans sometimes look at him round and round, just like Zhang Yu said, obviously looking like a puffed bag, who will be angry if he doesn't get angry?

At the end of the timeout, the game restarted, and Zhang Yu took advantage of his teammates to cover the front court serve.

The Cavaliers sacrificed a suffocating defense this time, this is really a fate, they can't imagine that if Zhang Yu shoots this ball, they will fall behind by 14 points in the first half, so how to play in the second half?

The two defenders in front of Zhang Yu pressed over, and James was one of them.

"Really, I can't pass the ball? It doesn't matter if I score or if my teammates score, it's just that someone scores. ”

Wallace received the basketball, and there was no one in front of him to defend him, and he dribbled directly to the basket.

Vallejo assists in defense, the Brazilian's defense speed is indeed very fast, he can not only fake falls, but also have a set of defense. But Wallace wasn't good either, jumping up in the air to get the ball behind Vallejo. David Lee received the ball, and he chose the safest way to do it, a two-handed slam dunk!

No one on the Cavaliers can stop David Lee anymore. The basketball was smashed into the basket by the Knicks' short center!

It was David Lee's fourth point of the day, he didn't score much, but it was a crucial goal, it was a big one.

With this goal, the Knicks led the Cavaliers by 14 points at 59:45 in the first half.

The basketball dunked into the basket, leaving the Cavaliers with 0.4 seconds to go. Mike. Brown still didn't call a timeout, and the Cavaliers didn't have time to shoot the basketball, and the timer was nearly zero. The first half ended.

The Knicks players ran into the tunnel excitedly, the Cleveland fans booed obviously lacking confidence, and the Cavaliers fans who were shouting hard were already more than half, and more Clevelands were looking blank. Staring blankly at the scoreboard.

The team trailed by 14 points at halftime. It was such a blow to them that the Cleveland had no idea before the game that their home team would find themselves in such a difficult situation.

"Are you going to lose?"

Many Cavaliers fans have lost their confidence before the game, Zhang Yu's excellent performance, James's state is sluggish, the first-year rookie is not like a rookie, and Cavaliers fans feel that they are not facing No. 14 today, but No. 24 in Los Angeles. I have the impression that only that guy can defeat their king.

Charles. Barkley waited until both players walked back into the dressing room and said, "Kenny. The Knicks are already leading by a big margin, what do you think of this halftime? ”

Kenny. Smith said categorically: "Maybe the Cavaliers are discussing tactics, maybe they're discussing what to order tonight, a solid double-digit lead is unlikely to have a chance of equalizing, at least judging by the state of both teams in the first half, we should also think about something to eat in the evening."

"You're so bad, that's usually what I say."

"Then do you want us to repeat it again, this time I'll ask you to answer."

“…………”

In the Cavaliers' locker room, anger froze, and the players felt the uncomfortable atmosphere again, just like they did in their second loss.

"Attacking the basket, in the second half we have to attack the basket, everybody, the key to this game is whether we can score more goals under the basket, we don't shoot well enough, then we have to score under the basket." Mike. Brown had no idea if his strategy would work, but he had to do something.

"The Knicks outside shooter needs to focus on defense, cover the attacker's vision with his hands when defending, and every time the opposing offensive defender has to come forward to put pressure, we have to be energetic, more energetic than the opponent, and lifelessness can't make us turn defeat into victory! Think of those exhilarating nights, how many times have we come from behind by 20 points this season? As long as we don't give up, we have a chance to do it again. ”

Mike. The more Brown spoke, the more excited he became, not only to cheer up the players, but also to motivate himself, and by the end of the first half, even his own confidence was running out.

The more he talked, the more excited he became, and soon he became gushing, and he didn't know what he was chewing, and he couldn't stop at all.

Inspired by his own coach Hitler's speech, the Cavaliers finally regained some confidence and fighting spirit during halftime, and no longer looked like they had just returned to the locker room, all of them were depressed and languishing.

In the second half, both teams reappeared, with the Cavaliers taking the lead.

After a 20-minute break, the Cavaliers fans also regained some confidence, and they gathered their emotions and continued to cheer their players on a loud pitch to help them regain their morale. And against the Knicks players, of course, they let out boos to their heart's content, especially to Zhang Yu, what braids, bananas, and even the sick man of East Asia were shouted out.

James received the serve in the cheers of the fans, turned around and looked, the little emperor was taken aback, and the cheers of the Cavaliers fans in the audience quietly stopped!

The Knicks actually opened the second half and offered a full-court press?

D'Antoni clasped his hands on his chest, looking confident, and played a handsome style on the sidelines.

The Knicks are already 14 points ahead of their opponents, which is a very large difference, especially in the playoffs, and it is difficult to catch up if the difference of more than ten points is not the strength of the two teams. And once this score difference reaches 20 points, then it is basically certain that this pivotal battle of Tianwang Mountain has been secured.

The beginning of the second half was the most critical juncture, and D'Antoni was sure that the Cavaliers would not have thought of their own move to press the whole court, as long as they killed them by a poke and then used the team's single advantage to expand the difference by a few points, the game would be won.

James took the ball and was posted by Zhang Yu again after dribbling two steps, and in the first half, Zhang Yu's pressing defense caused an offensive foul on the Gorilla, but then he did not continue to use this defense against James, and the Gorilla did not think of how to crack it.

"You're lost, don't you know what to do now? If you don't say it, I know that your heart is upset. Zhang Yu quickly spoke trash talk when he was defending, doubly interfering with the gorilla.

James' head began to heat up, which was a precursor to a loss of coolness, his weight was too large, and he lacked flexibility when dribbling, and could only go straight up and down, which happened to fall into the trap set by Zhang Yu, who was extremely flexible. The goal of the Red Rabbit is naturally to create another offensive foul on the gorilla, and then the morale of the Cavaliers will definitely be at rock bottom.

Zhang Yu stood one step away from the center line in advance, this position happened to be the route of James's accelerated breakthrough, the little emperor didn't have time to change direction, and his 260-pound weight directly hit Zhang Yu's 205-pound body, and the latter didn't wait for the collision to be solid, and immediately fell backwards to avoid being hit by a gorilla, so it was not worth it.

"Toot!"

The referee blew the whistle in his mouth, but the action he made was not a foul, but Zhang Yu blocked the foul!

"Damn, the referee is looking for a balance!" Zhang Yu fell on the floor and looked at the referee's gesture, why didn't he understand what was going on?

D'Antoni was not as calm as before, and his mustache stood up in annoyance. As long as people with normal vision can see that this ball is obviously an offensive foul, Zhang Yu stood in advance, and the space reserved in front of him was definitely more than one step, and this could not be judged by TMD to block the foul.

"How did he judge, is he rigging the game?"

D'Antoni rushed to the tech desk and roared loudly, his face flushed and he was clearly on the verge of losing his mind. Of course, I don't know if this is pretending, anyway, the mustache's words are definitely beyond the referee's tolerance, and it stands to reason that he can be given a technical foul.

But I don't know if it's a loss, the mustache was only warned once, and was not directly shown a technical foul, obviously after this penalty, the referees were not confident.

D'Antoni pretended to be hysterical, but he didn't say anything drastic, apparently shouting hoarsely to put pressure on the referee.

The Cavaliers sent the ball in the front court, and Zhang Yu pasted James again and didn't give him a chance to catch the ball.

West received the serve, and the small big hit faced Wallace, and the melancholy man remembered the words of the midfield coach and resolutely dribbled through.

I have to say that the melancholy man is actually a very good player, saying that he is a poor Monta. Ellis is not an exaggeration. The inability to play is more due to his personality problems, he is not only depressed, but also has a very quirky personality, and it is extremely difficult to get along with his teammates, so it is naturally difficult for such a player to be favored by the coach and the team's top management.

Wallace didn't keep up with West's pace, David Lee stepped in on inside, and West forced a layup head-on, changed the pace of his shot in the air, and scored a goal past David Lee's block.

"Damn, how did you get this kid to be stabbed?"

Zhang Yu was extremely dissatisfied with his teammate's defense this time, but he didn't show it, and he definitely couldn't blame his teammates at this time.

With a score of 59:47, the Cavaliers narrowed the score to 12 points.

"You can't let them close the margin to within 10 points, and if you can't extend the score, then maintain a double-digit advantage, and they will naturally collapse until the fourth quarter."

Zhang Yu received the serve and calmly dribbled forward, the Cavaliers did not use full-court pressing, Zhang Yu's dribbling attack was more powerful than James's, and the risk of implementing this tactic was too high, and McBrown did not dare to bet.

Kenyon Martin came out to block and pick-and-roll, and the Knicks played a more solid pick-and-roll.

Zhang Yu broke through to the three-point line by covering, Kenyon Martin went down after the cover, but the simple cooperation between the two made the Cavaliers have an extremely tricky feeling, fortunately, Martin is unreliable in the middle distance, if this is replaced by Xiao Si, it will be terrible!
