NBA: I am a master dealer

Chapter 219 I, Zhan, showed great power, but it was half time?

The howls of the audience at the American Airlines Center are still harsh, cowards, traitors, running men and so on.

It can be seen that the Heat's hatred for James is far from eliminated. Even if they have ushered in a new head star, their resentment towards James is still strong.

James pretended not to hear, walked towards the technical table as usual, wiped a handful of chalk powder, and sprinkled it into the air...

In the past, this action was intended to attract cheers from the fans and take pictures.

But now, what greeted James was boos all over the sky, sounding like thunder.

Xue Liancheng was inexplicably amused when he watched my Big Zhan Huang put on a show.

He has reason to believe that James did this to deliberately disgust the Heat fans at the scene.

no way.

In addition to doing so, James seems to have no way to respond.

after all……

In the two confrontations this season, the Cavaliers were not only beaten twice, but James himself played very poorly.

What can we do?

I can only do something that is not there, to show my sense of existence.

Of course.

He has no proof...

at this time.

He suddenly thought of an interesting thing.

According to the historical trajectory, the Heat only hated James for two seasons.

When James fell behind 16:1 in the 3 Finals, but completed a comeback, some Heat fans began to miss James.

man...

Mu Qiang's nature...

James can also be regarded as conquering some doubters with his strength.

But more fans called it disgusting and stinky, and they were even more disgusted with James, because they felt that 16 was the blackest finals in history, none of them.

Directly filter out the famous black whistle incident in 06.

Anyway, people who like James like it more.

People who hate James hate it even more.

As for now?

All are disgusting.

The game starts soon.

The Heat's starting lineup: Xue Liancheng, Wade, PJ-Tucker, Ennis, Ibaka.

Spoelstra went straight to the small lineup, and didn't expect Haslem to play any role.

This change is undoubtedly correct.

Several times, Xue Liancheng wanted to discuss with Spoel what is the meaning of going to Haslem?
The protective frame can't protect it anymore.

The offensive end is slow, does not jump high, and is slow to react.

Many times, Haslem wasted his passing opportunities.

In addition to accumulating height, he feels that Haslem has no effect on the court at all, and even seriously drags down the team's offensive rhythm.

To put it bluntly, it is a burden.

But Haslem is the captain after all. If he, the leading star, said that Haslem is useless so bluntly, the locker room would explode...

For the Cavaliers, Love was absent due to injury, and TT-Thompson replaced him in the starting lineup.

Mozgov and Ibaka jump ball.

Ibaka was 8cm shorter than Mozgov and did not win the jump.

Knight first attack.

After Owen got the ball, he pushed forward quickly, just about to let go.

James stopped Owen: "Kyrie."

He directly reached out for the ball, as if he wanted to prove himself.

In fact.

James was indeed not defeated. After two consecutive poor performances, he learned from the pain and thought of a way to break the Heat's tight defense.

Owen was stunned for a moment, but without hesitation, he gave the ball to James.

But just when he was about to leave.

James' voice came again: "Kyrie."

Owen turned around and was stunned again.

But he quickly understood what James meant.

That's right.

It's the pick and roll.

In fact, in the last game against the Heat, it's not that the two of them haven't used such a pick-and-roll cover tactic.

But the effect is not so good.

The main reason is that the Heat's defense against James was too serious.

Wade was not there in the last game, and Batum was the main defender of Irving.

After James completes the pick-and-roll with Irving, Batum will delay him immediately, coupled with PJ-Tucker's siege and interception.

As a result, he was forced to give the ball to Irving not far in depth.

at this time.

Irving doesn't actually have much shooting space.

Batum will quickly bring it up and plug the defensive vacancy.

The result: an invalid pick-and-roll.

And now.

James changed his mind.

He first used Irving's pick-and-roll and successfully got rid of PJ-Tucker.

Wade really came to delay him.

PJ Tucker behind him also quickly caught up at this time.

The front and rear pincers of the two were very fierce.

But James did not flinch, but relied on his own tonnage and strength advantages to continue walking against Wade.

in this case.

If PJ-Tucker continues to follow the pincer attack, Irving will be completely leaked out.

What he needs is this effect.

really.

PJ-Tucker saw James go deep into the penalty area, did not dare to continue to follow, and chose to switch defenses on the spot.

in this way.

It formed a one-on-one James and Wade.

Although Wade is not weak, he is only 193cm after all. In terms of tonnage and strength, he is at an absolute disadvantage. How can he stop James' horizontal push.

soon.

James got to the free throw line.

Ibaka had to come up to defend, and at the same time, the Heat's line was shrinking infinitely.

James passed in directly.

Relying on his absolute height, Mozgov ignored the interference and easily made a small throw under the basket.

Hit steadily.

This time.

James smiled...

Showing the big white teeth, he smiled for a long time.

The experiment was successful, so why not be unhappy?

Seeing this, Xue Liancheng couldn't help frowning tightly.

In this round, James was very resolute, and the effect was remarkable.

The most important thing is that without Gasol on the inside, the frame protection barrier disappeared.

If James is flanked in the penalty area, Mozgov or TT-Thompson will leak out. In this way, the effect of their defenders' supplementary defense is almost equal to nothing.

Because Mozgov is 216cm, too tall, with a light hook, he can touch the basket.

There is no way to prevent...

but.

Although the Heat's defense has problems, their offense is still as sharp as ever.

Xue Liancheng also used the pick-and-roll to get to the basket.

Then pass it in.

The flexible Ibaka made a successful dunk with assists.

Look back.

James still picks and rolls with Irving.

But this time, PJ-Tucker directly let Irving go, forcing James out of the ball.

After Irving received the ball, he made an early shot before PJ-Tucker came over.

pity.

Crooked.

But the Cavaliers' two meat shields were under the basket and forcibly grabbed an offensive rebound.

TT-Thompson also made a tip-up.

The situation is not good!
After receiving the serve, Xue Liancheng yelled directly at his teammates: "Bring up your speed."

They are now a small lineup, and they need to give full play to their mobility and speed advantages. When confronting the Cavaliers, they simply fight for offense.

He didn't believe that the knight's twin towers could withstand their fast attack.

really.

this round.

Mozgov and TT-Thompson failed to officially settle.

Xue Liancheng looked at the right time and passed the ball to PJ Tucker who was in the open state.

There are also three points.

In the first quarter, the two sides continued in this state of confrontational battle.

You can't even say confrontation.

Because the Cavaliers' style of play is more like a positional battle.

The Heat are much more pure, they just run fast.

It turns out.

Or the fast pace takes more advantage.

Before entering the rotation time.

With a score of 27:22, the Heat have a certain lead.

The main reason is that Mozgov's physical strength is not enough to support him to run back and forth.

Once the physical strength is exhausted, buttery hands will appear, or the ball will be unstable.

Even the advantage of being stuck and grabbing rebounds has become less obvious.

Because the Heat's offensive rhythm is too fast.

As long as the Cavaliers miss a shot, the Heat's speed will increase and they will launch a whirlwind defensive counterattack.

Often Mozgov just ran to the three-point line, and before he even stepped into the three-point line, the Heat completed the end.

Isn't this a proper 4 on 5 situation?

He didn't even stand up well, let alone play any defensive role.

Fortunately, the Heat didn't feel too good in this quarter, otherwise the Cavaliers might be blown away...

And the knight here.

Irving's situation was not very good either. He made 4 shots and only hit one ball.

The rest, basically received the pass from James, shot immediately, and made 3 of 0 three-pointers.

In order to cooperate with James, he became a shooter who walked outside the three-point line, and his touch was completely gone.

In other words, there is no offensive rhythm at all.

On the contrary, James, like a beast that has broken free from the cage, took a total of 5 shots, hit 3 goals, and also scored the attempted three-pointer, scoring 9 points violently.

In the fourth quarter of the last game, he only scored 8 points.

In this game, he scored 9 points in a single quarter. In comparison, his state can be said to be very violent.

In addition, 3 assists were sent out.

For the team to bite the score, made great contributions.

But it always gives people a feeling of being beaten.

Shot very cautiously.

Not a very good opportunity, he didn't take much shots.

But it is also understandable.

After all, in the previous two matches, one was 25 for 6, and the other was 18 for 5. Such inefficient efficiency has been chased by the public for a long time. Such a poor hit rate obviously caused him an extremely serious psychological shadow.

and so……

Naturally, he didn't dare to act recklessly.

The reason why James was uncharacteristically and so mighty was because of Gasol's absence.

This made it easy for James to find a chance to rush.

Without the internal barriers to stop him, he would naturally be unstoppable after charging.

Section two.

James continued to play bravely.

The number of hits to the basket has increased, and the touch of the three-pointer has also opened up.

单节8投4中，三分球3投2中，罚球4罚2中，疯狂揽下12分，另外还有3次助攻。

The demeanor of No.1 in the league is already shining brightly.

But Irving was still not salty, he took 3 three-pointers and only hit 1 goal.

In addition, there were 3 shots from the mid-range and the impact of the basket, but only 1 ball was hit.

Overall, he made 6 of 2 shots and scored 9 points by relying on free throws.

The attack rhythm is also disordered, but at least it can cause damage.

The two played fairly well.

But James wasn't happy at all.

at this time.

He was crossing his hips, staring at Xue Liancheng who was standing on the free throw line, his face was dark and ugly.

There are still 34 seconds before the end of halftime, and each side has an attack time.

But the Cavaliers lost a full 31 points by 41:10 in a single quarter.

Plus the first verse.

The current score is 55:70.

That's right.

They trailed by 15 points at halftime.

A rhythm to spend...

The most frightening thing is that he didn't play badly. So far in the first half, he has scored 21 points and 6 assists. It can be said to be quite violent, but the team lost so much.

Why?
Also simple.

Because the Heat broke out in the second quarter.

They took advantage of the fatal weakness of the knight's twin towers' slow footsteps, crazily fast-attacked and counterattacked, and fired super firepower.

Wade alone used the defensive counterattack to score 6 points.

Chalmers and Ennis also took advantage of the Cavaliers' mistakes and delay in returning to defense, and followed up with 4 and 2 points respectively.

In other words, they scored 12 points simply by using these simple points.

Can be imagined.

What a disaster when Mozgov and TT-Thompson are on the court at the same time.

After the Heat's crazy 20:6 attack wave, Cavaliers coach Blatter finally reacted and removed Mozgov, which suppressed the Heat's offensive firepower.

otherwise.

The knight could die worse...

Following Xue Liancheng made two free throws.

72:55
17 points difference.

The commentators couldn't help sighing: "LeBron's game can be described as extremely brave, but this game is a rhythm that takes halftime?"

Narrator: "The Heat's five small lineups are too violent. Mozgov has not gained a foothold in defense, and the offense is over. How can we play in this situation? In fact, when the Heat launched the charge horn, Blatt should be replaced. Mozgov, but he was so stubborn, he gambled that the Heat would kill themselves, and that's what happened."

Host: "The main reason is that Xue Liancheng's passing is so good. In the process of pushing the fast break, he can always accurately pass the ball to the teammates who have the opportunity. This kind of ability to read the game can be called a historical level."

And while they were discussing.

The Cavaliers have already started their final attack.

James pushed over with the ball and stopped a little above the middle circle.

then.

There, reach out and exhale while dribbling.

With that idle appearance, it is completely impossible to see that the team has fallen behind by a full 17 points, and there is no sense of urgency at all.

But after all, it was the last attack, so delaying time was justifiable.

The other players of the Cavaliers have dispersed the bottom corners on both sides.

Time passed little by little.

When it comes to 12 seconds.

James finally moved.

He rushed up quickly, then accelerated suddenly, and passed PJ-Tucker directly.

The players on both sides of the Heat brought up one person each, and stood closely at the free throw position, waiting for James to arrive.

result.

When James rushed to the free throw line, he pushed PJ-Tucker and turned over directly.

then.

In a way of horseback archery, the ball was thrown.

This pose is somewhat inelegant.

But it is very practical. You can use the bent feet to isolate the defensive players who are rushing over and create a certain shooting space for yourself.

of course.

Whether it is elegant or not, whether it is ugly or not, those are all secondary.

As long as the ball is thrown in, there is no problem at all.

The issue is……

The ball hit the rim and missed...

James spread his hands tactically.

The referee was stunned and said to himself: Your bent legs have separated PJ-Tucker from the boss. PJ-Tucker just stretched out his hand to cover his eyes. Is there any problem?

Maybe James also realized that it was his fault that he didn't make the shot. He just spread his hand and quickly returned to defense, not daring to pester the referee.

After all, if you entangled again, it would be another 5 on 4.

If the Heat hit the last ball, it would be 20 points away...

After Xue Liancheng rushed over.

It also stopped near the middle circle.

13 seconds left.

Looking at James, who was bending over with his hands pressed in front of him, he couldn't help but tease: "I've made progress, I finally dared to attack by myself at the last moment."

James: "..."

He was ashen-faced and said nothing.

Xue Liancheng didn't bother to babble any more, and there was really no time for babbling.

When the countdown reaches 10.

He pushes the ball forward.

James is close to the defense, constantly increasing his strength on the ground.

But Xue Liancheng's dribbling skills are still very good.

One dribbles behind the back, and the dress lunges in the other direction.

Then pull back.

Taking advantage of the moment when James' center of gravity shifted, he quickly stepped over.

But James' defensive skills are also not bad, mainly due to his outstanding talent, strength, speed, and wingspan, which have the potential to crush Xue Liancheng in all aspects.

After stabilizing his figure, he was still able to keep up quickly without being thrown off by Xue Liancheng.

The two entangled all the way.

There are still 7 seconds left.

Finally came to the three-point line.

Xue Liancheng paused again.

Step forward and change direction.

But James' body tonnage, these small movements have little effect, and it has become extremely difficult for him to move on.

Tell the truth.

With his current ability, if he wants to single out James, it is tantamount to hitting an egg with a rock.

A player with historical talent like James is too restrained.

at this point.

In fact, he has self-knowledge.

and so.

After seeing Wade come to respond, he immediately passed the ball.

Then off the ball, taking advantage of James' focus on Wade, he dives into the paint.

Wade quickly passed back.

At this moment.

James wanted to chase Xue Liancheng, but it was beyond his reach.

The most important thing is that Xue Liancheng got stuck in his position.

And this time.

TT-Thompson and Shumpert had to immediately attack Xue Liancheng.

at the same time.

Chalmers and Wade move to a 45-degree angle beyond the three-point line.

There are still three seconds left.

Xue Liancheng took off and threw the ball out.

The person who gave it was the unattended Chalmers.

In fact, it is not impossible to pass it to Wade.

But because of the position James is chasing, it is closer to Wade's side.

Based on the distance measured by Xue Liancheng's mind map, he felt that the person with the best chance was Chalmers.

and so.

He passed it on almost without hesitation.

After receiving the ball.

There is only a little more than 1 second left.

Chalmers didn't have time to think, so he raised his hand and voted.

This ball, the opportunity came out.

But it is too much a test of mentality. If he fails to invest, Xue Liancheng feels that he has nothing to complain about.

As soon as the ball is released, the red light turns on.

under the watchful eyes of the crowd.

The ball clanged and hit the basket's neck.

There was a lot of lamentation at the scene.

If this goal is scored, it will lead by 20 points, which is equivalent to knocking James to the ground in advance.

But it's a little off...

It's a pity...

But these thoughts are just emerging.

The ball bounced, landed on the backboard, and bounced back...

in?

The scene suddenly stood up, and everyone raised their arms and shouted.

James opened his mouth, as if he had eaten Coptis chinensis immediately, suffering unspeakably.

How can you score with this ball?

just outrageous...
