v2 Chapter 705: James's character weakness (three / four

The opening rounds became the epitome of the first quarter of the two teams.

James is really Irving, giving him a chance.

Irving also has a strong singles ability. Once he is given the opportunity, he will hit the basket to score points.

In the first quarter alone, he personally contributed as much as 10 points.

But the Cavaliers did not have the advantage on the court.

At the end of the first quarter, the score on the court was 25-24, and the Cavaliers were only one point ahead of the Nets.

Tang Tian was more relaxed on the sidelines at this time.

Fans sometimes have a lot of subjectivity when watching the ball, but most of the time they know the players.

Like Irving, his ability is indeed very strong, but not yet strong enough to change the game on his own, and given him the opportunity of James, he can almost kill.

This is actually enough for the Eastern Conference team, but they are playing the Nets, the second-best team in the East after all, and this Net is particularly defensive, and the Cavaliers failed to start. Take advantage.

This was an accidental adjustment made by the Cavaliers, but it hit Tang Tian's arms.

What he said in the off-site interview actually wanted this result.

Those words are half offensive and half true. James is too strong. Only by dividing the ball right from his hands can the Nets have a bigger win.

Fortunately, he has been the head coach of James for more than two years, and has a better understanding of James's character. The result now has reached what he wants.

In the second quarter, the Cavaliers were led by Love, plus Dellavidova, Shumpert, Jefferson and Fry.

The Nets are led by Butler, plus Livingston, Booker, David West and Oden.

"Our performance in the first quarter was great, but whether we can win the game depends on your performance in this period. We will do our best to tell our opponents that this is our home court!"

During the inter-session break, Tang Tian shouted loudly to his substitutes after finishing the tactics.

The Cavaliers 'strength is unquestionable, but the Nets' only advantage is in the bench connection, so the next few minutes are particularly critical.

"Defend! Defend!"

The fans at the scene watched the past two games and even this point. This second quarter just came up and cheered for the team.

Dellavedova advanced to the front court and gave the ball to Low Love, who was playing West in the low post.

Love has deliberately gained weight this season in order to swing the fifth position, in order to enrich the team's low post tactics in the connection stage.

However, West has more strength and confrontation than Love, and Love has no chance to fight back.

The ball finally returned to Dellavidova's hands, Frye directly put the pick and roll.

After breaking the ball, Dela Vedova broke through the basket, Yi Jianlian's defense followed closely. De La Vedova's layup missed, and Yi Jianlian received the rebound.

Livingston held the ball to the frontcourt and West held the ball from a low post.

Love couldn't beat West, but in return, West was a bit of Love. The chiseled Love retreated back and forth, and when he reached the penalty area, he turned around and sent the ball to the basket.

Confrontation doesn't just look at weight. Love's weight gain has not played an advantage in this high-intensity competition.

West's goal also allowed the Nets to successfully overtake the score.

Love's three-pointer after the frontcourt was interrupted by Butler and Yi Jianlian received a defensive rebound.

Livingston dribbled to the frontcourt and gave the ball to West post. West played again. Jefferson on the weak side came over to assist the defense. West had a pre-judgment. Cut Butler, Butler dunked directly with both hands to score.

The offense on the Nets was flowing like this.

Tang Tian shouted at the sideline to remind his teammates to retreat, but the cheerful expression on his face betrayed his mood at the moment.

West is the type of player who can become an axis. The battle with and without the Pacers is completely two levels. This was already evident in the first round of the game, and now West has become the Nets. The axis of the team's bench group is also the biggest advantage of the Nets in the bench transition.

Dellavedova missed a three-pointer, Jefferson missed a layup, and West rebounded and received it.

Blatter was a little dissatisfied with the team's defense, and shouted to the side to remind the players of the defensive position.

Livingston held the ball to the frontcourt and wanted to bring the ball to West. Love then chose to go straight ahead.

Although the confrontation is not dominant, he has a large area and his interference did not allow Livingston to give the ball in.

However, the Nets are well-known for their substitute strength this season. It must be more than West. Livingston immediately reached out to make new tactical gestures. Booker and Butler ran a three-pointer with a pick-and-roll.

Blatter's roar worked, and Shumpert and Jefferson's defense did not give Booker and Butler a shot.

However, when the Cavaliers' defensive focus shifted to the outside three-pointer, West and Yi Jianlian quickly cut into the basket after removing the ball.

Livingston's vision was excellent. He gave the ball to Yi Jianlian, and Yi Jian connected the ball to throw away Love and directly scored with one hand.

There was a whistle and cheers from the fans.

After returning in the second quarter, the Nets played the Cavaliers 6-0, surpassing 5 points directly.

David Blatter called the suspension with dissatisfaction.

Tang Tian took the initiative to give his substitutes a high five.

The performance of this group of benches is very important, not to mention the change in score, that is, the momentum has already taken advantage.

After a pause, Blatter replaced Love with James.

After James came up, he stormed and caused Butler to foul, and went to the free throw line to continue the points for the Cavaliers.

But after this momentum of the Nets played out, Livingston immediately responded with a back-up jumper against Dellavedova in the post.

After a battle, the Nets led the Cavaliers 6 points with a 59-53 lead at halftime ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ for the first time since the series, the Nets took the advantage at halftime.

This result cheered the fans on the spot, but it also made the commentary's Buckley and Kenny Smith bewildered.

James only made 6 shots in the first half. Although it has something to do with the Nets' double-team strategy, such shots are fewer than the previous one, while Irving made 13 full shots.

This is obviously a key factor behind the Cavaliers' backwardness, but the Cavaliers and James have not changed since the return of the second quarter, and let this continue to happen.

Buckley and Smith are puzzled, but probably only Tang Tian knows James.

If Kobe is a paranoid scoring freak, then James is a paranoid team player. Unless it is really desperate, if there is a choice, he still likes to give the ball to the player with the best chance.

This is his character trait, or it can be said to be his character weakness.
