Chapter 152
The offensive end relies on speeding up, and the defensive end relies on the active running of James, Ye Feng and Darius.

The Cavaliers' strategy finally paid off.

Since then, the Cavaliers have slowly narrowed the point difference, tying up step by step.

Coach Jeff Van Gundy frowned deeply. He really didn't expect the offensive formation he had arranged to be cracked like this.

Speaking of it, the defense of the Cavaliers is considered poor. There are no defensive core figures like Garnett and Duncan, and there are no defensive pioneers like Artest and Madman.

Among the five players present, each had their own problems.

Ilgauskas was unstable and couldn't get stuck.

Boozer's 206 cm is not tall enough, and his steps are slow.

Darius is a bit slow at the 3rd position, and a bit short at the 4th position.

James is too heavy, and the defensive back's lateral movement speed and agility suffer.

Ye Feng is still not strong enough, and his resistance is weak.

But it was these five people who actually defended the Rockets with an offensive system and two All-Star starters.

It sounds unbelievable, but when you look at it, it feels natural.

These young people in the Cavaliers are really active, they are desperately defending.

"Although the Cavaliers can temporarily stalemate with the Rockets, Fan Shuai doesn't need to worry at all. With such defensive strength, how long can the Cavaliers last?"

"That's right, once the physical strength of the Cavaliers players has problems, the game will be over. I am in favor of the Cavaliers' fighting spirit, but this is not enough!"

The on-site commentary commented.

Is it really not enough?
Ye Feng sneered, everything had just begun.

After defending the Rockets' attack again, Boozer immediately served and Ye Feng ran with the ball.

The Rockets had understood the tactics of the Cavaliers and were prepared, but Yao Ming, who was deep in the hinterland, still had no time to run.

Yao Ming's position has determined that the distance he returns to defense every time is the furthest in the game.

There is no way, as a big center, standing under the basket is the most threatening.

The other inside man, Maurice Taylor, has a slightly better positioning, but his footwork is not as good as Boozer's, and it's too late to prepare, unless he doesn't attack with all his strength and is always distracted by defense.

This is of course impossible.

It was the Cavaliers Trident again, with Ye Feng, James, and Darius advancing in three lines.

Francis, Mobley, and Piakowski are one-on-one.

Among them, only Francis has the advantage in defending Ye Feng. After all, Boss Fu's physical fitness is too strong, which always restricts Ye Feng.

Mobley guarding James running at full speed, even if his defensive ability is strong, is meaningless.Because of the rushing James, there are not many people in the league who can stop him.

As for Piakowski, his defense.Well, forgot, he didn't defend.

The Rockets wouldn't be benching a shooter who made nearly 40 percent of his [-]s if he was defending.

Ye Feng, who was dribbling, faced Francis directly in the middle, and it was not easy for Boss Fu.

Ye Feng can shoot, dash and pass, which makes Francis hard to guard against.

Just before, Ye Fengguang scored 3 points and 4 assists by relying on a fast break, which was really difficult to defend.

Just after rushing into the three-point line, Ye Feng suddenly raised his hand and sent the ball to James on the left.

"Pass?"

Francis reacted very quickly, and immediately moved laterally to block Ye Feng's pass.

But at this moment, Ye Feng suddenly withdrew his hand.

Fake action.

Looking carefully, Ye Feng actually grabbed the ball with one hand and was controlling the direction of the ball.

Ye Feng's hands are not too big, and he can barely catch the ball.

But it was such an action that completely deceived Francis.

When Francis came to his senses and wanted to go back to block Ye Feng, it was already too late.

Ye Feng took three steps straight, broke through from the side of Francis, and then rushed directly to the basket, hitting the basket with one hand.

Bang!
Goal scored, 55:62.

Ye Feng's dunk didn't have James' wild temperament, but it was better in lightness. Coupled with the one-handed ball-grabbing feint before, the fans couldn't help cheering.

"Wow, unbelievable, Ye Feng singled out Francis."

"A rookie challenged the All-Star starters and succeeded!"

"Francis was completely deceived by Ye Feng."

After the excitement, the fans started booing Francis again.

This is not a big deal at all, after all, all home courts in the NBA are like this, even if you are Jordan, you have to endure the boos.

But Francis quit.

In his opinion, being teased by a rookie is completely unacceptable.

"Serve!"

Francis immediately yelled at Maurice Taylor who had just run over.

Taylor was taken aback, but dared not refuse.

Just looking at statistics and tactics, Yao Ming is now the leader of the team.But in fact, Francis is the boss of the Rockets, whether it is personal strength, qualifications or temper.

After Francis received the ball, he immediately sprinted with the ball. This is copying Ye Feng's behavior just now. He wants to play an answerball.

Yao Ming, who just ran to the backcourt, didn't even have a chance to catch his breath, so he could only run to the frontcourt again.

The rest of the Rockets had no choice but to follow.

As for the Cavaliers, they can only return to defense.

Unfortunately, Francis ran so fast that not everyone could keep up.

After arriving in the front court, everyone saw that only Mobley could barely keep up with the Rockets, and they were still several meters behind Francis.

On the knight's side, only Ye Feng, James, and Darius ran back, but they had already settled down.

With 2 to 3 in the frontcourt, the Cavaliers have the advantage.

At this time, many defenders will stabilize their rhythm and wait until their teammates are all present before launching an attack.

But Francis didn't mean that at all. Even though there were 3 people in front of him, he didn't hesitate at all.

A change of direction, Francis broke through James and reached the three-point line.

At the free throw line, Francis ran over Ye Feng again with his body, and took three steps directly holding the ball.

At the basket, Francis carried Darius' defense even more, and threw the ball into the basket with a very difficult folding action.

Bang!
55: 64.

Quicken Loans Arena was silent, and the Cleveland fans couldn't even make a sound.

Francis showed his strength, technique, speed, confrontation, bounce, and explosive power were perfectly reflected in this ball.

This is Francis at his peak, this is the strength of the Western All-Star starter, this is the invincible No. 1 position, even if it is 1 vs 3, Francis can do it.

And the Cavaliers really can't defend themselves.

"It's too strong. This kind of physical fitness cannot be found among our CBA players."

Sun Zhengping was silent for a long time, and said helplessly.

"It's not just the CBA, even the NBA, there is only one Francis in decades!"

Director Zhang Weiping said with a wry smile.
