Chapter 282: Repeating the Old Trick

At 9 minutes and 20 seconds in the fourth quarter, the Cavaliers took advantage of the dead ball to replace Big Z, Vallejo, and West on the court, and the Cavaliers returned to the regular lineup.

The score was 96:92, and the Cavaliers trailed by 4 points.

Seeing that McBrown gave up the small lineup first, D'Antoni smiled lightly, ready to replace Zhang Yu with the next dead ball.

The cheers of the New York fans became even more violent after the Cavaliers softened, they thought they had won, and the black bread on the opposite side was really stupid, and he dared to mess up the battle with them, he really didn't know how to write the dead word?

However, the New York fans and D'Antoni soon stopped laughing, and the Cavaliers slowed down the tempo without disobedience, and continued to play the high-intensity pressing defense that they are good at, and the defense was stronger than the first three quarters, and there was a bit of a suffocating defense in it.

The Knicks players couldn't adapt to the sudden change of pace for a while, and they still maintained their previous chaotic style of play, making consecutive unreasonable shots, but under the interference of the Cavaliers' high-intensity defense, they missed consecutive shots.

In the 8th minute and 30 seconds, there was no dead ball on the court, and the score had become 96:96, and D'Antoni hurriedly called a timeout.

The mustache now finally knows that something is wrong, the Cavaliers are obviously premeditated, so they can stabilize immediately after a chaotic battle, but their players can't do it, and the Knicks players are still immersed in the third quarter of the freewheeling game, making them slow down like the Cavaliers all of a sudden, which is difficult for them.

"We have to slow down, the timing of these few minutes is too poor to continue to shoot like this and keep the rhythm down. Little rabbit, you'll be in control in a moment. Be careful that they use full-court pressing, and the inside line helps the defenders cover. ”

D'Antoni called a timeout, still uncertain in his heart, and thought about it. Associated with Kenyon. Martin also changed the court early, and the veteran who played in the finals was more reliable than others at this time.

James' offense at key moments did not disappoint Cavaliers fans, the previous four points that tied the score were all scored by the Emperor Jr., and it seems that the Gorilla will continue to hit key goals.

The game restarted, and the Cavaliers did as D'Antoni expected, sacrificing a suffocating defense and pressing all over the court!

Zhang Yu firmly controls the ball. The continuous disguised emergency stop made West almost crooked his ankle.

The rest of the Cavaliers didn't dare to come up and wrap up, and the Clevelands' full-court pressing against the prepared Knicks didn't have much effect.

Zhang Yu dribbled through the midfield. The Cavaliers immediately canceled the tight defense and quickly landed to prevent being attacked by the Knicks.

D'Antoni's heart hanging on the sidelines fell slightly, but fortunately he had Zhang Yu in his hand, otherwise he would face the Cavaliers' suffocating defense. They don't have anyone to control the basketball. Nate Robinson, who has the best possession ability, can not balance the responsibility of organizing the team's attack, even if he can guarantee not to concede the ball.

Zhang Yu dribbled outside the three-point line, glanced at the basket, and raised his hand to make a shooting motion......

West thinks that Zhang Yu is cheating and fouling, the red rabbit in this series has done this kind of thing, and the melancholy man who has been fooled N times sued himself this time, and he resolutely can't be fooled again, and he didn't react to Zhang Yu's actions.

"Don't be fooled. Lao Tzu really shoots, and if you want to shoot, you can shoot! ”

The direction of the Knicks' offense in the second half. It happened to be the direction where Ai Yue'er and Xia Wei were sitting, and the little girl waved the cheerleading stick in her hand at Zhang Yu to cheer.

Zhang Yu jumped and threw the basketball, and West only realized at this moment that it was not a feint, and the block of the melancholy man had no effect on him at all.

The basketball drew a beautiful arc and fell into the net with a "swish"!

The New York fans immediately raised their hands high, and the "Madison Square Garden" sounded a piercing air defense siren, coupled with the cheers of the fans, the morale of the Knicks players was shocked, and the previous panic was easily dispelled by Zhang Yu's three-point shot, and the Knicks returned to normal.

Mike. Brown slapped his thigh hard off the court, this first-year rookie is too restrained to restrain them, is he really going to be eliminated by the Knicks?

LeBron. James looked solemn, and the little emperor also smelled the danger of being out, he didn't allow this to happen, and was defeated by a first-year rookie, and he, the MVP, couldn't afford to lose this person.

Mo. Williams ran without the ball, James forced a breakthrough, rushed to the box with the basketball, jumped up and passed outside the Knicks three-man package......

"Smack!"

Zhang Yu jumped up and stopped the basketball, but fortunately, West reacted quickly, snatched the basketball that Zhang Yu touched into his arms as soon as possible, and passed the basketball to the big Z hand under the basket.

Big Z had no defenders around him, so he immediately threw a basketball from close range and scored two points on the board.

In the final quarter of the game, the stars of both teams did not weaken at critical moments, James just assisted his teammates to score, and Zhang Yu immediately returned the color with his excellent shooting, and the score has been changing back and forth between 4 points and 2 points, the Knicks can't widen the score, and the Cavaliers can't narrow the difference.

The game was in a stalemate between the two teams, and it soon came to the last three minutes.

The score was 105-100, and the Knicks led by five points, and the Cavaliers called a timeout.

LeBron. With 5 minutes left in the game, James was defeated by Mike. Brown switched for a two-minute break.

This is the Cavaliers' medical team, and the two-minute break can relax the muscles in James's body, making his tense muscles less stiff, which will greatly help improve the shooting percentage.

Mike. Brown also knows that the reason for James' unstable projection is that muscle, and in the last few minutes, the little emperor may not be able to attack the opponent's basket by breaking through alone, and there must be a mid-to-long-range threat to make the Knicks dare not put on an iron bucket formation.

The game restarted and James came on after Gerrard. Wallace still put one step and a half to defend.

The Gorilla stood outside the three-point line, learning Zhang Yu to make a move to shoot, and Wallace only took a half step forward, still defending James's breakthrough.

James continued to learn from Zhang Yu, pretending to do it, jumping and throwing a basketball, and Wallace pounced to block the gorilla's sight.

Everyone wants to look at the basketball in the sky, and the basketball thrown by the gorilla draws a low and flat arc. "Bang" into the basket!

James kept feeling his right hand after throwing the basketball, and the little emperor was even more nervous than the Cavaliers fans in front of the TV at the moment, until he saw the basketball bounce into the basket. The gorilla finally roared and jumped up and waved its arms fiercely. Then he seemed to think of something, and snarled into Spike Lee's seat, but no one could hear what he was shouting.

Charles. Barkley laughed after James' goal: "Even though he makes three-pointers, it's clear that the perimeter is not his forte, and even if he gets lucky, I don't think the defense will focus on his perimeter shot." ”

Zhang Yu received the serve and wanted to sneak attack. However, this time, even if the Gorilla celebrated the goal, they did not forget to retreat at the same time, and the Cavaliers players retreated like a tide, which was absolutely helpless for any fast-break team.

"This is the speed of the defense that was beaten out." Cavaliers fans thought with tears in their eyes. If they had retreated so quickly from the start, they would have killed the Knicks a long time ago.

Zhang Yu called the basketball to Crawford after halftime this time, and began to run without the ball, using his teammates' off-ball cover to find shooting opportunities.

Crawford tries to singled Mo. Williams. Continuous backdribbling. Suddenly towards Mo. Williams breaks down on the left.

Mo. Williams was startled and hurriedly strode forward, but Crawford stepped back and jumped back to shoot from beyond the three-point line.

Zhang Yu just ran out, opened his hand and made a gesture to ask for the ball, and he planned to attack by himself, but he didn't expect his teammates to be really not hypocritical, and he dared to play the ball by himself......

"Huh!"

Crawford's difficult three-pointer. Under the watchful eyes of the New York fans, he plunged headlong into the basket.

"Madison Square Garden" after a basketball falls into the hoop. Countless cheers for Crawford rang out.

The Knicks' twitchers raised their hands and held out three fingers each in celebration of the goal. James' response.

"No, Lao Tzu is the protagonist."

Zhang Yu took the opportunity to step forward and touch Crawford's bald head, slandering this guy who has no star appearance in his heart for daring to steal his limelight.

Mike. Brown was so angry that he paced back and forth on the sidelines, how could this goal go in?

The Cavaliers were demoralized by Crawford's goal, and Mike. Brown can only call a timeout to stabilize the player's feelings.

There are 2 minutes and 20 seconds left in the game, and the difference is still 5 points.

'We have to defend against their attacks and I want you to do everything you can because every goal they score now gives us a little less chance of qualifying. Guys, it's time to fight hard and bring out all the energy on both ends of the floor. "Mike. Brown's tone was excited, and his expression was also very anxious, like a pyramid scheme and an Amway seller......

Mike. Brown was really panicked at this time, and he didn't panic like this when he lost to the Spurs last season, because the Spurs are really strong, and they deserve to lose to their opponents. But against the Knicks, they are the ones who should advance, and if they lose, it can only be the responsibility of him as a coach.

At the end of the timeout, the Cavaliers except for James and the rest of the players were affected by the head coach's affection.

The incompetence of the commander tired the whole army, and even if the black bread was not incompetent, he really had little ability.

Wallace continued to let James shoot, even if the Gorilla just shot a three-pointer, but the Knicks will not change their defensive layout because of this three-pointer, and you will shoot us if you have the ability.

"Come on, you won't be able to get in."

Gerrard. Wallace was not a player who liked to talk trash talk, I don't know if he had been with Zhang Yu for a long time, and at this moment he even came up with two trash words to affect LeBron. James.

James has long been accustomed to being harassed by Zhang Yu's trash talk, and he is too lazy to deal with Wallace's painless trash talk, beckoning Vallejo to come out to block the demolition.

Vallejo received the gesture from the little emperor and immediately pulled to the outside to cover James.

The Cavaliers players started to run at the same time, Big Z pulled to the wing and was ready to pick up James' mid-range shot at any time, and David Lee could only move to the sideline of the three-second zone to be doubly ready.

James first dribbled to the left when he broke through, then changed hands to dribble and break to the right, and although his change of direction looked unsightly, it was very practical, and he broke through Wallace and Kenyon, who assisted the defense. Martin.

Zhang Yu rushed over from the side and reached out to slap LeBron hard. James's hand, this is - the old trick again! (To be continued......)
