I'm not really a role player

Chapter 386
In midfield, the Cavaliers didn't panic because they couldn't cope with the Bobcats' five-year-old.

In Gentry's view: "The Bobcats should not be able to hold on after playing the fifth quarter. In the second half, they should also return to the regular lineup..."

"Regular lineup against regular lineup, we still have a chance..."

"No, regular lineup versus regular lineup, we'll be the better team!"

After some analysis, the visiting locker room at the Time Warner Center was instantly filled with confidence.

Soon, the second half will start.

Gentry confidently put out a routine consisting of point guard Billups, shooting guard Wade, small forward LeBon, power forward Chris Bosh and center Varejao.

Bobcats unexpectedly discharged point guard Curry, shooting guard Wesley Matthews, small forward Li Ke, power forward Diaw, and center Tucker's five small lineups.

"It's still the fifth child..."

Gentry was a little surprised. In his opinion, if the Bobcats continue to play in the fifth elementary school, they are overdrawing the physical fitness of some of the main players.

You know, in this set of five small lineups, Wesley Matthews, Tucker, and Li Ke all played the second quarter, and now they are playing the third quarter consecutively. Can they really hold up physically?

Gentry expressed doubts. He felt that Rivers was too anxious, and he was a little self-destructive.

"Don't care about them, we will fight ours!"

In any case, the Cavaliers will never use five against five again.

Because the second quarter has proved that the five minors are against the five minors, and the Cavaliers can't stand it at all.

Returning to the regular lineup, the Cavaliers may still have a chance...

At the beginning of the third quarter, the Bobcats attacked.

Dior responded at the top of the arc, on the left, Curry cut out a chance, and then received the ball.

He raised his hand and made a mid-range shot, with a bang!
64 to 57, the Bobcats' lead further stretched to 7 points.

Immediately afterwards, the Cavaliers' offensive round.

Off the court, Gentry saw Diaw and Curry.

"Pick and roll! Pick and roll!"

"Grab their sore feet!"

In Gentry's view, with Diaw and Curry, the Cavaliers' pick-and-roll a la carte offense can make a comeback.

But what he didn't expect was that at the beginning of the second half, the Bobcats of the fifth junior actually defended a zone defense.

Tucker defended the basket, Li Ke protruded to withstand LeBon who was holding the ball, and the rest, from Diaw to Matthews to Curry, each occupied an area.

Lebron stepped forward, Li Ke followed a few steps, and Dior's help was immediately added to the flank.

Facing the flanking attack, LeBon's first reaction was to pass the ball, but when he turned his head, he saw Bosh, who was supposed to be open, but was targeted by Curry, who came from the weak side.

After hesitating for a second, he still passed the ball.

At least, Bosh playing Curry can be regarded as a misplacement.

But soon, Bosh, who received the ball, found that the Bobcats made a quick rotation, Curry stuck him from the back, and there was Tucker's help in the front.

Another double team!
When he reacted and wanted to pass the ball, Dior, who had pinched Lebron, pushed up again, cutting off his connection with Varejao.

Wu Xiao's flexibility, combined with the meticulousness of the defense, played a miraculous effect at this moment.

And this is another hand of the Bobcats.

"Not many people would have thought that Fifth Elementary can still play zone defense, right?"

Many people subconsciously believe that the advantage of the fifth small team is that everyone is very flexible, so the defensive end can be played very easily.

But they don't know that the defensive end can be played very simply, not just play very simply.

If the Bobcats want to play more complicated, there is no problem at all.

Now, once the five small defenses come out, even if there are two hidden defensive gaps on the field, Dior and Curry, they can rely on the defense to block all the gaps.

With a snap, the Bo giant turned around twice and three times, and in the end he was inevitably cut off by Curry quickly, cutting off the basketball directly.

"Steal, the Bobcats fought back!"

The momentum of the counterattack was the same, five minors against two majors and three minors, the speed advantage was like a natural moat, separating the Bobcats and the Cavaliers.

"Frontcourt, Stephen Curry chased a three-pointer!"

Swish-!
"The goal is scored, and the Bobcats' lead has stretched to double digits!"

Facts have proved that with the regular lineup against the Bobcats' five juniors, the death will only be faster.

In San Antonio, Popovich frowned.

Although there is still a tie-break against the Thunder, it is not yet known who will win.

But at this moment, plan ahead for the finals. If they face the Bobcats, how likely are they to win?
Thinking about it carefully, Popovich thinks the prospects are bleak...

"The five little ones are too tricky!"

In Charlotte, in the tiebreaker of the Eastern Conference Finals, Gentry was already in a hurry.

He knew that at this time he should immediately suspend, make adjustments, replace Bosh and Varejao, and use five against five.

But he hesitated...

On the one hand, Gentry feels that even if he leads the team and loses the tie-break, he has a high probability of staying.

But if Bosh is replaced at this moment, the contradictions within the team will be exacerbated, and internal strife will be detonated, and he will be [-]% dismissed from get out of class.

On the other hand, is it sure to be okay if you change to Wuxiao?Gentry didn't think so.

The second quarter has proved that there is a problem with the Cavaliers' five juniors, and they can't stand the Bobcats' fifth juniors at all.

So, between hesitation, Gentry agreed.

No substitutions, game continues...

On the defensive end, the Bobcats continued to defend the zone.

The tight overall, coupled with high tactical quality, put a lot of pressure on the Cavaliers.

However, the Cavaliers are not soft people who can be kneaded. They quickly found a way to break through the zone defense.

That is, the Janeway pick-and-roll they played in the first quarter.

Relying on the superstar pick-and-roll, he forcibly tore through the Bobcats' defense.

On the offensive end, the Bobcats continued to score by relying on the counterattack after a successful defense and the conventional top of the arc to support air cuts on both sides in positional warfare.

By the time the third quarter entered the second half, the Bobcats' lead was stretched to 13 points step by step.

By this time, Rivers shot again.

He replaced Dior with Hua Er.

At first glance, Dior went down, and there was nothing to do on the court.

But in the second half of the game, Li Ke suddenly pulled on Curry and hit Li Ku's pick and roll.

This move is also a superstar pick-and-roll, but two superstars who both have ball-handling singles and can shoot three-pointers from long distances team up. The power of the pick-and-roll is much stronger than that of Janeway.

In addition, the appearance of Hua's second child further supplemented single defense and cooperative defense, and the defense was even better.

After a wave, the Bobcats took the lead to 20 points...

"Being behind by 20 points, the Cavaliers' reversal is only a theoretical possibility."

In the theoretically possible reversal, Gentry has already accepted his fate.

Although, he is still looking forward to the start of the fourth quarter.

Li Ke has played three quarters in a row, and he must rest.

Gentry felt that this might be the last chance for the Cavaliers, and they rushed to attack while Li Ke was away.

Therefore, at the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Cavaliers continued to focus on the main force.

For the Bobcats, Rivers graciously let Li Ke stay off the court to rest.

This does give the Cavaliers a chance, but only a little.

In 3 minutes, the Cavaliers once caught up to 14 points behind.

But 3 minutes later, Li Ke reappeared and hit a strong three-pointer, plus an assist for Curry to hit a three-pointer.

The Bobcats lead back to 20 points...

"It's over, the game is over!"

"Now, the Cavaliers don't even have the possibility of a theoretical reversal!"

Gentry had a cold face. At the beginning of the second half, he knew that the game was over.

But now, he is still in a very bad mood.

He knew that there was a high probability that he would not dismiss get out of class.

On the one hand, the Cavaliers have changed two coaches in the past two years, and at the same time bear two coaches' salaries, and they can't afford to change again.

On the other hand, he thinks that he has led the team well this season. Judging from this round of the series, he has done everything he can.

In the end, the loss was entirely due to the player gap.

"Give me a bunch of these wings, and I'll have the last laugh!"

Even so, Gentry does not rule out that the Cavaliers boss has a brain twitch, and he really has to be fired.

After all, the Big Three have been teaming up for two years, and nothing has been achieved in two years.

This knight really can't afford to wait.

With his arms akimbo, Lebron quickly chose to be replaced by Gentry.

Even for him, he no longer has the mood to dare to fight during the garbage time.

Lost again, lost to Bobcats again, lost to Li Ke.

If the Big Three can't do it, he really doesn't know what kind of teammates he can find to defeat this Bobcats and this Li Ke.

Wade was very confused, he felt that he tried his best, so, who didn't try his best?

Consciously or unintentionally, his eyes swept over Bosh, the only one of the three giants with a fake character.

At this moment, the Bo giant is a little gloating. Look, he has sacrificed so much, and he only played one and a half quarters of a game. What's the use?Still lost!

In another year, he can jump out of the contract.

But seeing the scene of the Cavaliers' disastrous defeat, Big Bo felt that he couldn't wait any longer.

"The fish is dead and the net is broken, let's go tonight!"

Om-!
The timer beeps, and the game is over. At this moment, many people don't realize that the era of the Cavaliers' Big Three is over!
