Chapter 198 Controversy and Punishment (Written to 200)
When the Cavaliers' inside twin towers are there, James can get more opportunities to break through, so the Warriors made adjustments in their defensive strategy. Flovich's defense strengthened the double-teaming of James.

Although this effectively restricted James' breakthrough, it had nothing to do with the Cavaliers' positional battle. The two big men who could stretch out the space and shoot from the outside played a terrifying power in this game.

Especially Wang Zhizhi, because of his excellent performance in the first half and his fiery touch, this caused the Warriors' defensive players to be very afraid when facing him. Fans can often see that Harrington has nothing to do when facing Wang Zhizhi. He flew away with a single touch, and then Wang Zhizhi could easily get a shot.

Fortunately, Wang Zhizhi is not the kind of player who is good at shooting with one step, otherwise the Warriors really have nothing to do with him.

Teacher Zhang Lili explained to the fans why Wang Zhizhi was able to perform so well in this game in the most simple way.

"Wang Zhizhi has a clear advantage in height, and Harrington is more than ten centimeters shorter than Wang Zhizhi. When Wang Zhizhi made a fake shot, Harrington had to take off with all his strength, otherwise the fake shot would become a real shot, especially in Wang Zhizhi's hand today. When it was hot, Harrington didn't dare to let go of his defense at all."

However, when the Cavaliers' inside twin towers face the Warriors' strong athletic ability and good shooting inside on the defensive end, they also face a lot of pressure.

In fact, there are many star players in the NBA with poor shooting ability. For example, James' shooting ability is not very good. It was not until the middle and late stages of his career that his mid-range shooting ability began to stabilize.

Wade was also a master who was good at breakthroughs before training with late, but mid-range and long-range shooting was not his strong point-it was only when he and James formed the Big Three of the Heat that he had to increase his mid-range and long-range shooting.

There will be many such players in the future, such as the famous Antetokounmpo.

He can kill all directions in the NBA, but in the world basketball world, his lethality has dropped sharply because he has no shooting ability, and he is not even as good as Yi Jianlian, who has left the NBA for seven or eight years.

Under Fiba's basketball rules, there is no such thing as three seconds of defense.

Big players who are good at inside defense can sit on the basket unscrupulously, waiting for the opponent to break through and get a big cap.

Pulling out these big players requires stronger shooting ability-this is why the scores of NBA games are often much higher than the scores of FIBA ​​rules.

Therefore, the inside double towers and even the three-high lineup are very common under FIBA ​​rules, but there are not so many in the NBA arena.

Because the kind of inside players who move slowly and are only good at defense, it is difficult to survive in the NBA.

The NBA's unique three-second rule makes their games more enjoyable, and it also kills the defensive deterrence of the big men inside.

Just like Pau Gasol, he has never been a super center in the NBA, but once he enters the FIBA ​​rules, his power is even higher than that of Yao Ming.

The Cavaliers' inside twin towers actually don't have a huge advantage on the defensive end, especially for a team like the Warriors who focus on shooting and score fewer breakthroughs. The only role of the inside twin towers is probably to be able to score Guaranteed rebound.

But their weakness of slow movement was crazily targeted by the Warriors' two inside players.

Milicic and Harrington kept running inside, frantically pulling the Cavaliers' defensive formation, which allowed them to often get open shots, because Ilgauskas really could only sit under the basket and wait for the opponent to come On offense, Wang Zhizhi was barely able to expand the defensive range to within the free throw line.

Old Nelson saw through this. He didn't even give Biedrins a minute of playing time, preferring to play in five small lineups, and refused to let Biedrins, who had no offensive power inside, play.

The Cavaliers, known for their defense, obviously had no way to limit the Warriors' offensive routines after entering the second half.

The Warriors are limited by their defensive capabilities, and there is not much they can do about the Cavaliers.

Fortunately, both sides have restrained the opponent's core players very well. The score has been very stalemate, and the score has risen alternately.

From the second half of the third quarter, when the Cavaliers caught up with the score, the difference between the two sides did not exceed four points.

James and Late only occasionally played a role, and more of it played a role in stabilizing the morale of the army at critical moments.

Halfway through the fourth quarter, the score between the two sides was only 85:86, and the Cavaliers at home led by one point.

However, the Cavaliers had possession of the ball. James and Wang Zhizhi played a pick-and-roll. Harrington, who was scared by Wang Zhizhi, did not choose to switch defenses. This gave James a chance to make a shot. He shot from outside the three-point line to help the Cavaliers take the lead. to four points.

Late immediately responded on the offensive end. Milicic had an obvious advantage in moving inside, and the cross-running position was pulled out to cooperate with Late, which was a beautiful cover.

Ilgauskas moved too slowly, followed two steps and found that Milicic had already stood up, so he had to retract to the basket and prepare to grab a rebound.

James also tried his best to bypass Milicic's screen, but the late shot was so fast that in the blink of an eye, the ball was already shot and a three-pointer was hit.

Returning to the defensive end, the Warriors prevented the Cavaliers' key offense, and Ilgauskas' weakness in lack of confrontation ability was undoubtedly revealed again.

He got James to score the ball inside, and Milicic failed to gain any advantage in confrontation, so he could only pass the ball out.

This caused the Cavaliers' offense to be delayed. After some retransmission of the ball, the basketball was once again handed over to Ilgauskas who was pulled out.

Ilgauskas made a shot near the free throw line, and Harrington took off with all his strength to interfere. Ilgauskas, who had an obvious height advantage, was persuaded.

The Warriors grabbed a defensive rebound and went on a fast break. James played almost the entire game, exhausting his energy. This time he failed to keep up. He was late and made a three-pointer. Overtake.

Then there was another tug-of-war between the two sides, and the scoring efficiency was still not high.

With 59 seconds left in the game, Jackson hit a high jumper to give the Warriors another four-point lead.

The Cavaliers quickly called a timeout and arranged a set of tactics.

They kept the tempo very slow and almost used up all the offensive time. Wang Zhizhi pulled to the outside line when there were only three seconds left in the offensive time, and received a pass from James to shoot.

He was in such a good state today, it was useless for Milicic to come out, and he was directly shot by Wang Zhizhi.

It can only be said that the height advantage of the two big men inside the Cavaliers is too obvious, especially when Wang Zhizhi is playing power forward, his height of 218cm is simply a foul.

With 35 seconds left in the game, the Warriors had to slow down the pace and strive for success.

The Cavaliers are very active in defense. For example, Wang Zhizhi has almost exhausted his physical strength, but he is obviously happy today, and even his physical strength problem does not seem to be so serious.

He is very active on the defensive end, covering a wide range of the entire free throw line, and Ilges is stuck at the basket, keeping the Cavaliers inside tight.

Hill and Roy, who had just played, tried to break through the inside twice, and both almost got blocked shots.

In the end, the Warriors had to return the ball to the outside line, facing James' defense late, and forced to turn around.

Seeing that there was not much time left in the attack, Late chose the simplest way, pretending to break through and make a sneak attack.

The only thing that Late was better than James in this game is that he got enough rest time, and the physical problem is not big.

However, James was tired of fighting for a long time, so he couldn't keep up with his movements at this time, which made the late attack successful.

One meter above the arc of the three-point line, a late and hasty shot was made, and the red light went on.

Then came the most controversial scene of the game. The referee signaled that the attack time was over and the late three-pointer was invalid.

The Cavaliers trailed by one point and had 10.5 seconds on the clock.

The Warriors players were very excited and surrounded the referee in the middle to argue. Old Nelson also cursed loudly on the sidelines, venting his dissatisfaction.

The referee just kept shaking his head and ran to the sidelines to watch the slow-motion replay, but still insisted on the original verdict.

It can be clearly seen through the TV lens that the red light only turns on when the basketball completely leaves the late palm. This ball should be considered effective.

Late, who had been blown away by the goal, put his hands on his hips, with a bit of a bitter and helpless smile on his face.

He didn't go to the referee to argue, but asked his teammates to return to the bench as soon as possible. The Cavaliers have called the last timeout, and the Warriors must arrange a defensive strategy as soon as possible.

Old Nelson is also experienced, and he calmed down quickly. He glanced at these players under his command and looked very calm: "They only need to hit a two-pointer to win this game, so the two of them The inside players will definitely pull out to allow James to get a better breakthrough space. This is the most critical attack. As the core of the team, James will definitely take on this responsibility. So we must strengthen the defense inside, Ender Reiss (Biderins), next I need you to keep up with Ilgauskas, his confrontation ability is not very strong, you should be able to deal with him. Darko, you pay attention to helping defend James, don't let him easily Get up."

Late hesitated for a moment, and asked, "What about Wang Zhizhi? He feels good today."

Old Nelson is full of confidence: "Wang did cause us a lot of trouble today, but his shooting percentage inside the three-point line is actually not high today. It is enough for other players to pay attention to follow up and defend."
