The Golden Invincible of Basketball
v3 Chapter 774: Gaze from the Master
The opening rounds were the epitome of the first quarter of the two teams.
Possibly because of the relationship reported by Woj, James' offense after the opening was not strong, and the other Cavaliers were not in the state.
The Pelicans are just the opposite, welcoming a new first assistant team with stability and excellent form.
As a result of the first quarter, the Pelicans have led the Cavaliers by 15 points by 34 to 19.
This is really hanging.
At the beginning of the second quarter, Blatter took the initiative to change, and he replaced Owen in advance to lead the team.
The Cavaliers' benches include JR Smith, Thaddeus Young, and Tristan Thompson, which can be said to be quite luxurious.
Owen led the team in this period and played quite well. The insider and outsider personally led the team to play a personal attack wave of 10 to 2, and the point difference was reduced to single digits.
He was under tremendous pressure to play next to James, and he seems to be using this method to show that he can play better without playing with James.
The scene photographer gave the lens to James very naughtily.
It is not terrible to win, who is embarrassed who is missing, not terrible to chase points, who is embarrassed who is not present!
Sure enough, James looked upset when he looked up at the large LED screen, and frowned.
The Cavaliers' assistant, Tyron Lutcha, was quick to walk and whispered to Blatter.
Blatter turned to call James and replaced him.
After James came on the court, the offense became more intense. Several times, Aminu scored, and the Cavaliers further narrowed the points difference.
Stevens responded quickly and replaced the main force one after another.
The situation on the field was deadlocked, and the scores of the two sides fluctuated between 5 and 7.
In the last half of the half, James broke through three steps to make a layup. After stepping into the third step, he squeezed out of Davis and Boyang's double-team, whistleed and scored.
At halftime, the Cavaliers chased the score to 46-50.
James scored 13 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists in the second quarter, and performed quite well.
Intermission, the two sides returned to the locker room.
Stevens and Brown were discussing tactical issues in the second half at the locker room.
"Mike, you know more about LeBron's technology and talk about your thoughts."
Stevens was more than happy to discuss tactics with others, and he took the initiative to speak to Brown.
He used Davis to defend James in the first half. The effect was not very good. After all, Davis is an inside player and has a gap with James in speed.
"LeBron's current strength is at his peak. It is difficult to prevent him one-on-one. Our strategy should consume him more and push him to the scoring area that he does not like."
Brown deserves to be James's mentor, and he may be worse than Stevens than the defensive tactical system.
But compared to defending against James, he said first, and no one in the league would dare to say second.
The following time, Brown also said some specific defensive details, including James, although he has the ability to shoot outside, but he did not like to do that. Although he was a right-handed attack in the game, he was actually a left-hander, and the breakthrough line would be more inclined. Left and so on.
Stevens heard that the Pelicans made a real sign for Brown.
As the imaginary enemy of the Pelicans Finals, the Cavaliers will limit James' efforts with less effort if Brown is present.
Back in the second half, the Pelicans had a starting adjustment, and Aminu replaced Bojan as the team's starting small forward.
This is also a clear signal to strengthen the defense against the Cavaliers, or James.
The Cavaliers came back in the second half. James dribbled from the backcourt and Aminu pressed the frontcourt directly.
However, after all, James is James. The pressing of Aminu did not work. He still used his personal ability to bring the ball to the half court.
James moved to the top of the arc to organize an attack, and Aminu was at a later point in defense.
After watching his teammates for a while and seeing no chance, James shot out from the 3-point line.
"Oh!"
He continued the excellent feel of the second quarter, hitting three-pointers from outside.
There is only 1 point left.
There was a restless scene.
"He needs to stand a bit further forward. LeBron's perimeter shooting ability is not yet when the Cavaliers 1.0."
Smith spoke at the commentary.
"If you stand closer, he will break through you. He is LeBron!"
Barkley said immediately.
Tang Tian, Curry, and James are all three-threat top players. It is really difficult to limit them one-on-one.
"Keep defensive strategy!"
Stevens got up at this time and shouted at the team members. Since he accepted Brown's opinion, he chose to trust.
For the Pelicans 'offense, Tang Tian made a three-pointer by Davis' pick-and-roll.
"Oh!"
With the same sword, he immediately returned James a three-pointer!
James' performance has been strong since the beginning of the second quarter, but in fact Tang Tian has been very eye-catching from the beginning to the present.
After this three-pointer, his personal score has reached a game-high 22 points.
James continued to advance the ball in the backcourt, and Aminu continued to press.
On the sidelines, Blatter was a famous European coach. He quickly realized what he was asking, and he asked Irving to take the ball and help James share the defensive pressure.
But instead of giving the ball to Irving, James motioned to Owen to go back and drive the ball forward halfway.
He was elected to leave the Heat. In addition to the Heat has no future, there is a big reason for Spoelstra.
Spoelstra's desire to control was much stronger than that of Brown, which made him feel uncomfortable.
Now Blatter also has a trend in this direction, he chose to ignore it.
Tyrone Lu was talking aside and stopped talking. He knew how to look at things in the Clippers. James's thoughts could be guessed.
But Blatter is also a kind of stubborn coach. He is not good at giving advice and chooses to be silent.
Blatter was uncomfortable being aired, but the opponent was James, and he could only hold back that nothing had happened.
James reached the top of the arc and continued to organize ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ Aminu still put him a step further.
After Boyang ended, the Pelicans' defensive strength improved significantly, and others still did not have a good chance of scoring.
James glanced at the Aminu in front of him and chose to take a break on the left.
Aminu grabbed the left of the station early to break the route and forced him to the right.
James' left-handed breakthrough eventually turned into a midfield layup, Jokic stopped at the rim, and James failed to hit the shot.
Mozgov was out of bounds for the rebound and the Cavaliers attacked without success.
As James retreated, he glanced at the Pelicans' bench.
Stevens was communicating with Brown at this time.
Perhaps he noticed James's gaze, Brown looked up, and the two eyes were opposite each other.
James felt the gaze from the mentor.
