Chapter 79: Rivalry!
Mike Brown is very good at tweaking the defense, so he yells at the Cavaliers players while tapping the tactics board to get the players to take notice.
James has a very high ball quotient, and he doesn't need to listen to the coach to know that he is underestimating the enemy.
The timeout ends and the game continues.
The Cavaliers attacked, and this time James was engrossed, did not compete with Zhou Yang, and dealt cards in the top arc.
Anthony Parker popped out of the open space and Margeti didn't follow.
In less than a second, James passed the ball.
Anthony Parker is shooting 41.4 percent from three-point range this season!
After receiving the ball, shoot confidently, huff!
Three-point hit!
The Cavaliers finally scored, and the home crowd erupted in cheers.
James also clenched his fists excitedly, his vision is too good, and he got an assist!
Next, the Warriors attacked, and Zhou Yang found that the Cavaliers' defensive intensity suddenly increased, and he was trapped!
The Cavaliers' bag clip is a bit different from the other teams' bag clips.
Other teams generally pack left and right, but the Cavaliers directly pack the front and back, and it is difficult to catch the ball.
After Zhou Yang was restricted, the Cavaliers played the momentum of a strong team under the organization of James.
Bang!
With a tomahawk dunk from James, the Cavaliers took a six-point lead!
13:7!
Enter the official timeout.
Old Nelson had a solemn face, of course he knew the reason for falling behind.
Curry truce, Zhou Yang was trapped, and others couldn't stand up!
The Cavaliers' defensive intensity was so high that they were playing this game as if it were a playoff game.
Mike Brown's defense does have something.
Zhou Yang sat on the chair and didn't say a word, he saw that the Cavaliers' defense was even better than the Celtics.
The Celtics' iron-blooded defense mainly relied on rough movements and a kind of hard work.
And the Cavaliers' defense, more layers of defensive speed, and the tacit understanding between the players.
With such a strong body, James' defense is like lightning.
If it continues like this, the Warriors will be more than lucky.
The Warriors coaching staff also has an assistant coach named Henry who specializes in defense.
Henry's level is also okay, but it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice.
Except for Zhou Yang, the Warriors have no one else who can defend, and they are all players who are more offensive than defensive.
So old Nelson didn't have a good idea either.
At the end of the timeout, Zhou Yang suddenly stood up and shouted to his teammates: "Brothers, help me cover, I'm going to increase my projection." ”
The Warriors players all understand that if Zhou Yang doesn't exert his strength, this game will definitely have to be explained.
Because except for Zhou Yang, warriors and knights are not of the same grade.
When the players from both sides returned to the court, James walked up to Zhou Yang again and said with a smile: "Zhou Yang, do you know?" Champions and champions are not the same! ”
Zhou Yang snorted and responded, "You're right! ”
The Warriors attacked, and Zhou Yang was still trapped.
Just when the Cavaliers thought that Zhou Yang couldn't get the ball again, Warriors player Jackson suddenly ran over and blocked Parker.
Zhou Yang took this opportunity to move quickly and use the skill [Lao Tzu pulled]!
Swish!
It's too exaggerated, go straight to the three-point dry score!
The Cavaliers players are dumbfounded, can they still shoot like this?
After the goal, Zhou Yang and Jackson high-fived each other, this ball has Jackson's credit, his cover is very porcelain, giving Zhou Yang a lot of space.
James was also shocked by Zhou Yang's projection ability, but he immediately responded with a tomahawk slam dunk, directly knocking the Warriors' Margeti dunk to the ground!
The ball was indeed domineering, and the Cavaliers home fans shouted wildly and cheered for James' violent dunk.
"James Cow Pen! Kill Zhou Yang! ”
"Defeat the Warriors!"
"Beat Zhou Yang!"
……
James is also an emotional superstar, and in the cheers of the audience, he began to name Zhou Yang.
Zhou Yang's strength just now made James suffer a small loss, and he had to pay it back.
The Cavaliers attacked, and James saw that the Warriors had replaced Jackson to defend himself, and immediately asked his teammates to cover, wanting to change Zhou Yang in front of him.
But Zhou Yang didn't pay attention to it at all, he knew what he had to do.
He has to focus more on offense and playmaking, and can't be fooled by James' aggressive tactics.
Because after James stays focused, he will make Zhou Yang's foul.
Zhou Yang is the offensive and defensive core of the Warriors, and he now has a foul, and if he commits two fouls in the first quarter, he will go down to rest.
Seeing Zhou Yang hiding from him, James became even more proud, and trash talk spewed wildly.
As long as he passed by Zhou Yang, James would say a few words.
"Rookie, do you know what a champion is?"
"If you have a kind of defend me, aren't you very good at breaking the ball!"
"Hey, see my slam dunk? You have one too! ”
……
Zhou Yang was very irritated by James's trash talk, but he had no choice but to endure it.
Van Gundy, the commentator on the sidelines, was even more proud.
Before the game, his stance was to support the Cavaliers, believing that the Cavaliers could easily take down the Warriors.
Now that the Cavaliers have a lead of about 10 points before the first quarter is finished, he feels that there is no problem.
"Miller, see? The Warriors are vulnerable in front of the Cavaliers, Zhou Yang is a rookie after all, inexperienced, and too tender! ”
Reggie Miller is not easy to refute anything, after all, the Cavaliers do lead, and Zhou Yang plays averagely.
Except for the opening two goals, it was very uncomfortable to be caught at other times, and there were few shots.
"Let's take a look again, Zhou Yang's idea is very clear, that is, to connect teammates, and James's teammates are obviously stronger, so this comparison is not fair to Zhou Yang."
Reggie Miller was also a star with strong projection ability when he was a player, so he has a certain preference for Zhou Yang and Curry.
Although Van Gundy Jr. has never played, he is an advocate of old-school basketball in his bones.
For example, when he was coaching the Rockets, he used Yao Ming too hard, not only making Yao Ming gain weight, but also making the team defend desperately and attack the sky.
It was precisely because his offensive system was too weak that he later signed Maddie, hoping that Maddie would rely on his personal ability to support the Rockets' offense.
"Miller, although Zhou Yang's projection is good, his tandem ability is overrated, if you want me to say, he will shoot it himself, don't organize it, the Warriors are a fish belly team, and they can't be organized."
……
The debate between these two basically represents two points of view from the fans.
Especially after the Warriors' two consecutive defeats, Zhou Yang's black fans are getting more and more, which is what Curry said, a kind of backlash.
The number of fans increases rapidly, and the number of sunspots will increase.
As many people love you, as many people hate you!
Zhou Yang is still gritting his teeth and insisting, the Warriors almost rely on Zhou Yang alone on the offensive end, he either pulls out his hand with high difficulty, or uses seconds to pass to his teammates to create opportunities.
It's a pity that the knight's defense is too good, Zhou Yang's efficiency is not high, and his teammates feel even colder!
