I stole James

Chapter 255 Tactics
Chasing 48 points in 4 seconds, such an important task, Silas naturally handed it over to James to undertake.

Otherwise, who else can afford it?

If they want to be on the safe side, they have to quickly complete an offense, and then try to defend against the opponent's offense as much as possible. They cannot foul or send the opponent to the free throw line. Only the ball has a chance.

Candice on the sidelines was also very nervous. She asked Anthony beside her: "Melo, do you think LeBron and the others can reverse it? They can definitely reverse it, right? Are you right?"

Anthony wanted to stay neutral, but now he is at the home court of the Cavaliers, or next to Candice, and there is no way to stay neutral. He thought for a while and said, "With LeBron's ability, he should be able to lead the team to reverse the situation." Yes, I have faith in him!"

Candice nodded firmly, "Yes, he can definitely do it. There is nothing he can't do."

On the side of the Heat, Van Gundy emphasized, "You must keep an eye on LeBron, you must guard him, and you must not let him score. But you must not make a foul and let him stand on the free throw line, that is to give him points. We To double-team him, to interfere with him, to put as much pressure on him as possible."

Wade continued: "What if he chooses to pass the ball? If he passes the ball to an open teammate and his teammate takes the shot, what should we do? How to defend?"

This is indeed a problem. James' passing is too sharp. He dares to pass the ball to his teammates at critical moments and let his teammates play. He is not some star. He will definitely hold the ball to himself at the last moment. In the hand, the player must be shot by himself.

He can pass the ball. Hey, if he passes the ball, what should he do?

O'Neal said: "It doesn't matter. Now we are leading by 4 points. Even if we score one for them and we attack them back for one, we can continue to lead by 4 points. What is there to be afraid of? We will pass the ball later. Give it to me, I will definitely be able to hit the ball in the paint, maybe I can hit them a 2+1."

Van Gundy nodded in agreement, "That's right, so at this time we can only choose a defensive plan to focus on defending. We will defend LeBron to death. If he passes the ball, the players near the target of his pass must quickly go to defend. It is possible not to allow them to make open shots so easily."

Back from the timeout, the Cavaliers attack and Paul has the ball on the outside.

The Heat's Eddie Jones and Wade chased James, trying not to let him have the ball.

James moves beyond the arc, drawing most of the Heat's defensive attention.

Paul confronts Damon Jones, swipe past him quickly, one step in, near the free-throw line, and pulls up for a jumper.

Not LeBron shot!Isn't it?Big Van Gundy on the sidelines couldn't believe it!At this most critical moment, the Cavaliers actually let LeBron be responsible for attracting defensive attention and a rookie to attack and shoot.

Seeing Paul's sloppy shooting posture and the arc of the shot, Van Gundy faintly felt something was wrong.

brush!The basketball went in!
"The Cavaliers played a very good tactical coordination, using LeBron's containment, Paul attacked, successfully and quickly scored the ball. They did a great job." Barkley praised.

Kenny Smith agreed: "Yes, the Heat's defensive attention was mostly focused on LeBron at the time, and he didn't take the ball at all, he just wandered outside and made a catch. The illusion of a [-]-point shot, he didn't get the ball, Paul's side already made the ball. They played well on this one."

Big Van Gundy immediately asked for a timeout, and he wanted to arrange the Heat's next offense.

On the Cavaliers side, Paul said to James very excitedly, "LeBron, the tactics we formulated together just now really worked!"

"Just to surprise them!" James nodded.

"Wait, let's go like this..." James talked about the next tactical suggestion.

It's a real tactical suggestion, and Silas next to him kept nodding, um, it makes sense, so I will implement it accordingly.

After a timeout, the Heat serve.

Wade runs out, trying to catch the ball, but James and Tony Allen are also following him closely, preventing him from getting the ball.

Damon Jones had no choice but to send the ball to Eddie Jones, Eddie Jones took the ball, hit the ball inside, and gave it to O'Neal who was standing in the low post on the right.

As soon as O'Neill took the ball, Big Z and Randolph immediately rushed forward, foul tactics, and Randolph hugged O'Neill.

O'Neal gets to the free throw line.

Barkley said with a smile: "O'Neal's free throw...it's a bit hard to say."

As if against Barkley, O'Neal made the first free throw!
The fans at the scene raised their hearts, don't make more penalties, don't make penalties, and definitely don't make penalties.

The referee sent the ball to O'Neill, and O'Neal took the ball and patted it on the spot a few times, picked it up, bent his knees, and lifted it up.

His entire free throw movement is a bit disjointed and doesn't feel very coherent.

O'Neal pushes the ball, and the basketball slides to the rim.

Do not enter, do not enter, must not enter! The fans at home are praying.

Bang!
The basketball doesn't go in, it bounces out!
Grab the board!

Big Z directly stuck Haslem and pinned him behind him.

Randolph grabbed the crucial rebound.

Silas immediately called a timeout.

There were 27 seconds left before the end of the fourth quarter.

Both sides can each have an attack time.

But what if the Cavaliers keep hacking the Sharks?
Van Gundy was a little hesitant about the defensive arrangement this time. He had already made a mistake just now. The Cavaliers really dared to let other players take shots, and they really dared to let their rookie players make key shots!
So this time he didn't dare to bet that it must be James to shoot the ball. He spread the defense, let Wade watch Paul, Damon Jones watched Tony Allen, and Shaq and Haslem in the paint Sit under the basket and prevent the opponent from breaking through the penalty area easily.

After a timeout, the Cavaliers serve and attack.

Tony Allen serves, and James and Paul run immediately.

Randolph and Big Z set a screen.

Paul received the basketball on the perimeter.

Wade posted it immediately, Tony Allen ran to set a screen for Paul, and Paul dribbled the ball around Tony Allen.

At this time, James was outside the three-point line on the right wing, and he moved along the three-point line toward the top of the arc.

Eddie Jones chased after him closely, and Big Z got stuck on the way, and was bypassed by Eddie Jones.

James stopped and ran back, and then returned to the right flank. Paul's pass arrived immediately.

At this time, they suspended the tactics determined at the time.
