MTL - Healing Basketball-Chapter 947 madness is an attitude
Chapter 947 Chapter 947. Wild waves are an attitude
It's all right, it's just as Liu Xiu guessed!
Mike Brown just wants to use Liu Xiu to stimulate James' potential.
The Cavaliers didn't expect to train James into a defensive master at first, so they introduced Larry Hughes, a first-defense boss.
Judging from James' defensive performance in the first four years of his career, the Cavaliers management thinks that James can improve his defense to the point where he does not lag behind, so it is considered good, so he has been collecting excellent defensive players in various positions.
But I didn't expect James to have such a good defensive talent. After a summer of active development, he has made such obvious progress.
The Cavaliers decisively adjusted the established plan, from building a "4-on-1" defense to building a defensive system around James.
Relying on the willingness of the Cavaliers owner to spend money, Larry Hughes, a former top scoring star, used it as a defensive unstable pitcher, easily creating a top-five defense in the league.
As long as James' defense can reach the best defense level, Mike Brown is confident that he will be the strongest defense in the league.
The way to stimulate James' defensive potential, Mike Brown chose to let James defend the opponent with the strongest outside scorer.
This year James has improved a lot defensively, and then...was blasted by various stars.
Whoever hits him will explode.
In Mike Brown's view, this is the only way to become a defensive master.
If you want to become a defensive master, you have to have a thick skin!
Those well-known defensive masters, Kobe, Kidd, Bowen, Raja Bell, have been beaten countless times, because they defend the opponent's strongest singles almost every game.
However, Liu Xiu is very different from other stars...
He really keeps casting and casting!
The three starters can't play. Korver is a flank support point, averaging 4-5 shots in 17 minutes per game; Hill is also a support point, adding a high support point; LaFrentz only eats inside; Millsap occasionally plays One pick-and-roll, rushing most of the time...
If the warden does not vote, who will vote?
In the first quarter, Liu Xiuli shot from the outside suddenly and shot wildly. When the big Z is on the court, if the big Z can move in place, Liu Xiu will make an emergency stop on the outside to make a jump shot. If he judges that the big Z can’t move in place, he will rush into the inside line for a European step or a sports car throw.
Big Z played for 7 minutes and was replaced, he tried his best...
James made 4 of 9 shots and 3 of 4 free throws. He scored 11 points, 1 rebound and 2 assists in a single quarter. He felt that he had tried his best.
As a result, after the first quarter, he looked at the stats of the guy on the opposite side and contributed a wave of healing...
Liu Xiu made 5 of 12 shots, including 1 of 1 three-pointers, plus 4 of 4 free throws, 15 points and 3 assists in a single quarter!
The Trail Blazers didn't have Kwame-Brown couldn't guard James, so he chose to shrink, but the Cavaliers' outside shooting performance was poor. James made 4 of 9 shots and scored 11 points. His teammates made 3 of 10 shots and only scored 11 points.
For the Trail Blazers, Liu Xiu really organized the team's offense. Hill had 2 points and 2 rebounds; Korver made 2 of 4 shots, one of which was a three-pointer, and scored 5 points; To 5 points; McDyess got 2 points and 1 block...
29 to 22, the Trail Blazers led the Cavaliers by 7 points in the first quarter!
…
Liu Xiu's indiscriminate attack in the first quarter made the Cavaliers unable to react.
James still can't play the role of Larry Hughes. If the Cavaliers continue to use Larry Hughes to defend the top arc this year, and James will play the second, the Cavaliers may play the top three defenses in the league.
But compared to the top three defenses in the league, the Cavaliers' goal is the strongest and the championship. They chose to sacrifice part of their defense, that is, Larry Hughes.
Ability will degenerate if you don’t use it, just like Tracy McGrady, when he is a pure scorer next to Kidd, he doesn’t need to worry about anything. Now when he goes to the Knicks, his peak age is not as good as when he was twenty-one or two years old.
Liu Xiu didn't feel sorry for Larry Hughes either.
There was a news a while ago that Larry Hughes went fishing and was recognized by the fans. After asking him if he regretted joining the Cavaliers, he made himself useless. Larry Hughes did not answer. The fans thought he was angry...the result When Larry Hughes left, he threw the keys to the sports car worth hundreds of thousands of dollars to the fan, and left a sentence—
"I'm very sad. I don't feel any reluctance to throw away hundreds of thousands of dollars now."
Leading by 7 points in the first quarter, the Cavaliers were not discouraged. In the second quarter, the Cavaliers' hand-to-hand defense finally took effect.
In this quarter, the Trail Blazers only made 6 of 22 shots, plus 7 of 8 free throws, and only scored 19 points!
The Cavaliers, relying on James' 7 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists, scored 24 points in a single quarter, narrowing the point difference to two points!
After returning from the halftime break, James continued to work hard, with 9 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists in a single quarter, leading the Cavaliers to 22 points, and the defensive end continued to be strong, preventing the Trail Blazers from only scoring 20 points.
The Trail Blazers only made 7 of 17 shots in the third quarter, not much better than the second quarter. It seems that the shooting rate has improved, but in fact it is more turnovers and fewer offensive rebounds.
After three quarters, relying on James' 27 points, 6 rebounds, 7 assists, 1 steal and 1 block, the Cavaliers tied the Trail Blazers 68-68!
The fans at the scene were annoyed and anxious, and the atmosphere at the Devil's home court became manic.
The three-pointer, the butcher, and the champion of parallel imports, the three all-stars couldn't beat them, and they were suppressed by the mere Cavaliers!
The Cavaliers players were extremely excited. Most of their players did not have much confidence in beating the Trail Blazers, but they were very confident when they lost three of the four starters. They were hammered by Liu Xiu in the first quarter. They did not despair, but maintained sufficient confidence.
However, KING James, their facade, frowned.
The Trail Blazers started to attack in the second quarter, but they did not completely collapse. The Trail Blazers made 6 of 22 shots in the second quarter. Liu Xiu scored 11 points on 4 of 10 shots alone; The team made 7 of 17 shots, and Liu Xiu scored 12 points on 5 of 10 shots alone.
Made 14 of 32 shots, Liu Xiu scored 38 points after three quarters!
Ray Allen and Randolph can't beat the two major scorers. The Cavaliers' defense against Liu Xiu has reached the extreme, and it has indeed played a great limit, but it still can't completely limit it!
If we continue to strengthen the defense, we will not be able to guarantee the defense of Korver and Blake's two big three-pointers on the wing, and there will be more opportunities for Millsap's cut-in or McDyess's catch-up shot.
Unless it is absolutely necessary, you will not take precautions like that.
James suppressed the anxiety in his heart. They had the advantage for two consecutive rounds. The 7 points they lost in the first quarter have been tied. Next, they will reap the victory...
The inter-section break is over, James completed the psychological adjustment, and led his teammates to play the crucial final quarter.
Then, just after the fourth quarter, James and his teammates were stunned...
Liu Xiu first made a counter-attack dunk with a steal, then a three-pointer with an anti-aircraft gun after a pick-and-roll, and then a close-range diving throw...Scored three goals in a row and played a wave of 7-2 alone!
