professional shooting guard

Chapter 295
James didn't panic when he saw he was double-teamed.

After all, as No.1 in the league, being double-teamed is a common occurrence, and James has long been used to it.

This time, he's going to try and see if he can beat the double-team and get the ball in.

If they can score in this situation, it will be very beneficial to the Cavaliers.

James looked at the situation on the court to judge how to break it.

"James is going to fight himself!" Kenny Smith shouted.

"Zhang Zifeng's opening performance seems to have stimulated James. James seems to be reciprocating!" Barkley interjected.

"This game may be very exciting!" Reggie Miller nodded.

Putting the ball down, James took the ball and dribbled a few tentatively, watching his opponent's reaction.

Grant and Ibaka kept changing their defensive positions as James moved, and James couldn't find a breakthrough space for a while.

Since you can't please your opponent, then force your way.

In the blink of an eye, James made a sudden effort. After getting close to Grant, he suddenly turned around and dribbled, then cut right, stuck Grant behind him with strength, and slashed to the inside.

Ibaka jumped up to block the shot as James jumped up for a layup.

In order to avoid Ibaka, James pulled the bar with the strength of his abdomen and threw the ball towards the basket in the air.

The ball bounced off the rim, bounced and jumped out.

When Noel was about to grab the rebound, Thompson jumped up to grab the ball and made a dunk.

Although the goal was scored, anyone with a discerning eye could see the goal, and James played a bit reluctantly.

In fact, Grant and Ibaka have been practicing this tactic for a long time in their usual training.Even in order to achieve suddenness, the 76ers have never used it against James in the league.

This is the first time, it seems to work well.

This will be a big test for the Cavaliers.

However, are the Cavaliers really restricted?

No, James is the number one monster in the league.

Although Grant and Ibaka's defense is very good.But James can pass and shoot.

Whether it is himself or a legend who has reached the inside, he can tear through the 76ers' defense.

In addition, in addition to James, the Cavaliers also have Irving and Love. They are all capable players with good offensive capabilities.

After James was restricted, the Cavaliers' offense relied more on personal skills and also scored consecutively.

For a while, the 76ers and the Cavaliers had a great time fighting.

But if the Cavaliers played like this throughout the game, then the only thing left to say is that the 76ers' strategy was a success.

The 76ers forced the Cavaliers to rely on individual ability to play singles, with no tactics at all.And with such a high-intensity defense, it just depends on... whether James can maintain his physical fitness to the end.

Tyronn Lue watched half of the game from the sidelines and saw how the 76ers dealt with James-double-teaming James!

Restrict James and consume James' physical energy.

Tyronn Lue made a tactical gesture, which Love immediately understood.

When Zhang Zifeng received the ball, Smith stood up in front, and Love was ready to make up for it at any time.

Facing Smith's stalking and Love's stalking, Zhang Zifeng didn't care.

Running back and forth a few times, he is not attacking with the ball now, he has chosen a more appropriate offensive method, running without the ball.

When Brett Brown saw it, he thought to himself, is he going to fight the needle against the wheat?
Kill each other's trump card?

Brett Brown sneered.Unlike the 76ers, limiting James' influence on the Cavaliers is greater than limiting Zhang Zifeng's influence.

You must know that James is not only the Cavaliers' first scorer, but also the Cavaliers' actual offensive organizer.

Although Zhang Zifeng is the top scorer of the 76ers, Rondo is the actual organizer of this game.

The Cavaliers will focus on Zhang Zifeng, and the rest of the 76ers will be much more relaxed.

Especially Rondo, you must know that Rondo's best is in organizing the team's offense.

Although Rondo's shooting is unreliable, if he gets to the inside, he can become a powerful scorer.

His breakthrough dunks, large layups, and small throws are all very good.

Le Fu was pulled away by Zhang Zifeng, and the inside line was much empty.

Facing Irving, Rondo used the screen to break through to the inside.

The active audience of Rondo can see it. In a game like the playoffs, it can be seen that Rondo is very excited and active.

Especially when the head coach decided that Rondo would completely control the ball in this long game, Zhang Zifeng cooperated with Rondo, which made him want to perform well.

Facing Rondo's activity, Owen felt a lot of pressure.

Now the 76ers are clearly targeting themselves at this point, treating themselves as a black hole in the Cavaliers' defense.

Once he loses, Irving can imagine how the media will criticize him after the game.

In order not to become the team's shortcoming, Irving is more defensive than ever.

But defense is not about trying hard on your own, it will definitely be effective.

Years of experience and an overall view on the court make Rondo very clear about the running position of his teammates on the court. Once he breaks through the inside, as long as his teammates are open, he can immediately send the ball.

His teammates were watched, and he was able to break through his breakthrough layup again.

Rondo's go-betweens made the 76ers' offense easier and scored consecutively.

Seeing that double-teaming Zhang Zifeng had little effect, Tyronn Lu had no choice but to give up the double-teaming tactic.

Love did not come to interfere, Zhang Zifeng immediately used the back run to get rid of Smith's supervision and ran out of the open space.

Rondo's pass was also delivered in time, and he jumped up after catching the ball.

Smith's interference did not disturb Zhang Zifeng's shooting rhythm, and his shots were still stable and fast.

"What a beautiful shooting posture!" Reggie Miller shouted, "Zhang Zifeng's shooting posture can be used as a textbook for other players to learn from. Compared with last season, I feel that his shooting speed this season is faster Yes. Zhang Zifeng is stronger!"

Reggie Miller also had the same thought, and other opponents who were watching the game couldn't help sighing.

第一节第9分钟，76人队27-22领先骑士队5分。

Watching being led by the nose by the 76ers.

Cavaliers coach Tyronn Lue saw his heart and said: It seems that changes must be made.Otherwise, this game will be bad!
