NBA peak

Chapter 189 5 points in a row

"For the Cavaliers' defense, we focus on single defense. As you all know, this is the Cavaliers' consistent offensive mode. This year we have Leonard and Danny Green joining us, and our individual defensive ability has improved a lot compared to previous years. Ge, you must work hard, keep Irving's scoring within 30 points, and the rest of the team will try their best to help defend James. We must not let him play once and play like the first round."

Before the game, Nas finally reviewed the tactical deployment for the players.

This kind of deployment is completely fine, and it is also the most likely way for the Raptors to beat the Cavaliers.

The Cavaliers have too many three-point shooters. If they blindly assist in defense, it will be easy for the Cavaliers to hit three-pointers.

By that time, it will be difficult for the Raptors to expand their defense on the perimeter.

Therefore, the Raptors must defend individually, limit the single-player firepower of Irving and James as much as possible, and then the remaining three should cause enough harassment to the Cavaliers' three-pointers as much as possible.

The last tiebreaker between the Cavaliers and the Pacers was very telling. If James hadn't exploded in the final quarter, it would be hard to say whether the two teams would win or lose.

After the opening ceremony, starting players from both sides appeared one after another.

Before playing, every player of the two teams wiped their hands carefully with chalk powder.

Magnesium powder is an auxiliary tool commonly used in the NBA. It can prevent sweaty palms, slippery hands, and inability to hold the ball steadily.

The preparations on both sides were very meticulous.

It can be seen that both teams attach great importance to their first contest.

The Raptors must not lose to the Cavaliers again this year, or they will never get rid of the shadow brought by James in the next 100 years.

After wiping off the chalk, James grabbed a handful and threw the chalk into the sky at the Raptors fans who were screaming at home.

"Shh-"

At the same time, the Raptors were booed at home.

This is the signature move that James is most famous for, and James hasn't used it for several years.

This is the home of the Raptors!
James picked up his signature move that he hadn't used for many years, clearly provoking the Raptors.

But at this time, the eyes of Cavaliers fans in Cleveland watching the game on the big screen were red.

The director's camera immediately captured this classic scene.

James re-throws magnesium powder.

James is using his actual actions to show his determination to win the championship.

Just like the little emperor who kept chasing the dream of a championship back then, the crowned King Zhan still wants to win more NBA championships!
Tristan Thompson and Siakam's jumper.

Siakam is very competitive to bring the Raptors the first offensive opportunity.

The Raptors went first.

The classic elevator door, Ge Feng and Lowry opened up the space, Leonard leaned against James to ask for the ball, and Siakam, who has a strong ability to punch the frame, also pulled one step away from the three-point line, always ready to punch the frame on all sides.

The Cavaliers stretched the defense a lot.

After Lowry broke through, instead of passing the ball to Ge Feng or Leonard according to the tactics, he rushed directly to the basket, attracted Thompson's supplementary defense, and stuffed the ball under Thompson's arm to Ibaka.

Ibaka received the ball, leaned on Thompson and shot directly.

Zhan Huang, who was a step late, was almost a big hat.

Fortunately, Ibaka made a quick shot, allowing James to catch the air and the ball hit the board.

James took advantage of the opportunity to serve out of bounds. He glanced at Thompson, indicating that the opponent might want to play inside.

Irving received the ball, and the Raptors directly defended individually.

The ball stopped in Irving's hands for seven or eight seconds. In the end, Irving forcibly broke through Ge Feng's defense and returned the ball to JR after hitting the inside line.

JR made the first three-pointer of the game.

"boom."

JR's open three-pointer missed.

Ibaka protected the rebound, and Ge Feng dribbled the ball forward quickly.

This year's Cavaliers are aging seriously, and the Raptors just want to keep speeding up so that the Cavaliers can keep running.

The same tactic, but this time it was Ge Feng's turn to kill inside.

The Cavaliers adjusted very quickly. Ge Feng rushed in, and the Cavaliers did not give him a chance to feed the ball inside.

Ge Feng distributed the ball to Leonard who went down to cover.

Leonard and James face off for the first time.

The Raptors players began to shout in unison, cheering for Kaka.

Kaka beat James back.

Like Kobe and Jordan in post-up singles, Xiaoka's post-up singles skills are not necessarily worse than the above two.

James took a crab step and held Leonard firmly.

Leonard turned around.

"boom."

Unfortunately, this ball is a little short.

Ge Feng reacted very quickly at this time, he knew the ball was short the moment Kaka shot it.

This is the benefit of the two of them practicing together all the time!

Ge Feng grabbed this key offensive rebound and put the ball into the basket.

4 is better than 0!

The Raptors took the lead and caused a lot of trouble for the Cavaliers inside.

Tyronn Lue was walking around with his waist in his arms.

Such a rebound should not be lost. How could the Cavaliers let a guard take the offensive rebound in their hands.

The inside line of the Cavaliers is his biggest concern this year. Thompson, who is injured, and Love, who is weak and addicted to the playoffs, can easily become points for opponents to open up the situation.

James is aware of the Raptors' intentions, and he will start to continue the outside firepower for the Cavaliers.

The Cavaliers attacked, and Love pulled down the three-point line to make a pick-and-roll for James.

James chose a strong three-step layup, and Siakam switched to defend James, but James completely ignored Siakam's thin body.

step.

two steps.

Up.

With a three-step tank layup, James flew up with Siakam on his shoulders.

"Shh."

James' difficult goal won a burst of applause at the Raptors' home court.

"Block Love, don't let him pick and roll easily." Kaka rarely gave orders to the Raptors.

Siakam nodded again and again. He didn't get stuck in Love just now, so he gave James a chance to make a small card.

Lowry dribbled the ball forward, and the rest of the Raptors kept running around.

The Raptors' thinking in this game is very clear. They just want to wear out the Cavaliers through continuous running.

The Raptors swept their opponents 4-0 in the first round. In terms of physical strength, the Raptors definitely have an advantage over the Cavaliers who have fought hard for 7 games.

Lowry's sudden point, Ge Feng received the ball, and while pretending to break through, he took a step back to distance himself from Owen.

"Ho-"

The fans gasped in admiration, Ge Feng is really not only good at shooting three-pointers.

I don't know if the seven battles consumed too much of Owen's physical strength. Owen's actions this time are obviously slower than before.

Ge Feng made a three-pointer.

Owen didn't jump, and took two steps forward with his hands raised.

"Shh."

7 is better than 2!

The on-site commentators couldn't help applauding Ge Feng.

The Raptors scored 7 points in the opening game, of which Ge Feng scored 5 points alone.

This is Ge Feng's performance when facing Irving, it is simply incredible.

"Ge Feng, he is definitely an enhanced version of Ge Crazy."

"It turns out that Chinese players can also perform so well in the NBA."

In China, CCTV [-] is also broadcasting the game between the Cavaliers and the Raptors live on time.

Ge Feng's performance in this game will definitely drive countless domestic fans crazy.

Ge Feng is the yellow-skinned player who is least favored by foreigners!

Compared with black and white, yellow-skinned players can play this kind of performance in the playoffs, which is really rare.
