023 Let Li Lei gnaw
Cavaliers possession.
James faced Li Lei again.
This time, he did not despise Li Lei anymore, but carefully dissected Li Lei.
Although the strength is smaller than himself, it is not bad.
It's not fast, but it's not a weakness either.
The height is almost as tall as himself.
Defensive skills are quite good, and he can use his feet to interfere with opponents reasonably, rather than relying on his body.
Defensive tactics: Defending against breakouts and not shooting, which is aimed at their own weaknesses.
Defensive attitude: 100 percent focus, 100 percent dedication.
In Li Lei, James could not find an obvious weakness.
Li Lei put on the most standard defensive posture, staring at James intently, and the light in his eyes was like the most ferocious wolf.
James felt the pressure on his face.
Syllable!
James started suddenly, and this time he still couldn't get rid of Li Lei.
The two collided inside the three-point line and fought hand-to-hand.
But James still failed to break through Li Lei, and he was forced to stop by Li Lei again.
Li Lei found the opportunity, launched a precise steal, and fiercely forced James.
James, who has learned the lesson, doesn't fall twice on the same rock, and this time he protected the basketball.
James, who kept the ball, distanced himself from Li Lei for the first time and looked for opportunities again.
Didi!
But at this moment, the referee's whistle sounded: Walk!
The ball goes to the Heat.
James' face was a little ugly, but he still handed the ball to the linesman.
Li Lei smiled.
The intermediate-level precision steals really increased the effect.
In particular, this additional effect, "even if the steal fails, it can also cause pressure on the opponent, affect the opponent's state, and increase the chance of mistakes by 15%", which is a bit of a hanging.
However, according to Li Lei's understanding, this additional effect is also aimed at people.
If the opponent is a street ball king like Alstom, the effect is estimated to be small.
If it is a person like James who has rough skills and relies on his body very much, the effect is very great.
In any case, Li Lei defended James for two consecutive rounds, which surprised everyone.
Champion Xiu suffered under the No. 44 rookie, and twice in a row.
Zhang Weiping smiled happily, and the old chrysanthemums bloomed on his face: "He has no obvious weaknesses in the stone, and it is difficult for offensive players to target him." Coach Spo arranged for the stones to defend James, which was reasonable. ”
Su Qun agreed: "Based on the performance of the stone in these two rounds, the strength of the stone is definitely more than the No. 44 pick, he is worth a first round." ”
"That's it!"
Zhang Weiping nodded.
The game continued, and James did not smash Li Lei again.
That's where James is above the ordinary, he's very sensible.
He made a gesture and summoned the Cavaliers' big man to do the pick-and-roll and force the Heat to switch defenses.
Then James used his speed to force the Heat's interior players.
"Don't change guards, pay attention to bypassing the block!"
Spoelstra shouted from the sidelines.
Li Lei heard it and did so.
However, the big man of the Cavaliers is a meat shield player, and he has a wide body and struggles to wrap around.
Li Lei tried twice, and each time he waited to get around, James had already rushed into the paint area.
Moreover, the interior combination defense composed of Beasley and Haslem was too weak and did not give Li Lei any support.
Spoelstra was a little helpless.
It's not his dish, it's that the team's existing configuration is too poor, and it's difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice.
But if there is a reliable big man, with Li Lei, he can definitely strangle James.
Of course, Spoelstra is still satisfied with Li Lei himself.
At least in the two rounds of one-on-one, Li Lei's defense was successful.
After James' dunk, at 22:16, the Cavaliers once again established a six-point lead.
Spoelst tugged at his tie, upset.
On the other hand, Cavaliers coach Brandon Malone sat on the sidelines, holding his hands on his chest and closing his eyes to recuperate.
With James present, he doesn't even need to command.
There are 35 seconds left in the first quarter.
The Heat had the ball, Wade broke through the attraction package and gave the ball to Li Lei outside the three-point line.
Li Lei's hand rose and fell.
Swish!
There was a crunch.
22:19。
James, who ran to help the defense, couldn't help but curse in his heart: Shet.
This Chinese is not only troublesome on the defensive end, but also on the offensive end.
I just ran two steps away, and the 3 points were gone.
The Cavaliers' offense.
James forced his way inside with the help of the pick-and-roll, threw the shot, and finally didn't score.
Haslem grabbed the rebound and handed it to Wade.
Wade quickly hit a counterattack.
James ran like the wind and hung behind Wade.
What an exaggeration!
Wade felt the pressure behind him, glanced at it, and flicked the ball back.
Li Lei, who was keeping up, caught the basketball and glanced at the timer, time was running out.
Adjust outside the three-point line, Li Lei shot directly.
Swish!
And also.
22:22。
Didi!
The whistle at the end of the first quarter sounded.
It's a buzzer-beating three-pointer.
"The stone feels pretty good today!"
Zhang Weiping smiled: "This goal is not very reasonable, but it can really be scored." ”
Li Lei made two three-pointers in a row, and the Heat caught up with the score.
James' efforts throughout the game were wiped out.
Li Lei's performance once again attracted fans to exclaim.
It's a performance at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends!
James shook his head in annoyance and couldn't help but glance at Capono.
This guy is simply good for nothing but three-point shooting, slow on foot, and bad defense.
Look at Li Lei again, the three-point shot does not lose to Capo, and the defense crushes Capono even more.
Why was the Cavaliers able to select Capono with the 31st pick, but left Li Lei out?
Second quarter of the game.
James cut back on individual offense.
Even if it's an iron man, you have to rest.
What's more, James has to spend a lot of energy to watch Li Lei.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Wade burst into the ball and helped the Heat quickly establish an advantage.
Half-time.
39:45。
Instead, the Heat took a six-point lead.
Second.
James was a bit out of shape and didn't make it a couple of shots.
James lost his threat, and the rest of the Cavaliers were even more useless.
The Heat opened up again.
End of the third stanza, 54:68.
The Heat are already leading by 14 points.
Brandon Malone couldn't sit still, wandering back and forth on the sidelines, directing the team.
Spoelstra was calm.
Anyway, there is a problem on the offensive end, and it is handed over to Wade.
There is a problem on the defensive end, let Li Lei gnaw.
Coming back in the fourth quarter, James began to exert his strength, leading the Cavaliers to chase the points with all their might, and once narrowed the difference to single digits.
But James put his energy into the offensive end and neglected the defense of Li Lei.
Li Lei hit two more three-pointers, which directly extinguished the offensive momentum of the Cavaliers.
In the final half of the quarter, Brandon replaced James and announced that he would abandon the game.
The horn of the on-site commentary was finally repaired, and a few more words of James were blown.
But when James was off the court, the horn broke again.
74:92, the Heat beat the Cavaliers.
James had 18 points, 8 rebounds and 7 assists, and Wade had 22 points, 3 rebounds and 5 assists.
In the small forward position, Li Lei made 5 of 6 three-pointers, scored 15 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists, 4 steals and 2 blocks, and Cappono only had 5 points and 2 rebounds, forming a stark contrast.
You must know that Capono is the No. 31 rookie, and Li Lei is only the No. 44 rookie.
Because of James' presence, this game has received a lot of attention.
Li Lei, who performed well, also attracted a lot of attention.
Early the next morning, several local sports media outlets in Houston broke into the Toyota Center.
"Carol Dawson, what do you think of the performance of the Chinese rookies? The Mosaics had chosen him, but traded him away. ”
