"LeBron, you are not a real warrior, I look down on you!"

At this moment, Marbury suddenly stood up again.

The teammates around him were stunned by his words.

"What did you say? Tell me again!"

James stood up suddenly, glaring at Marbury.

"I said you're not a warrior! I look down on you!"

Marbury met James' gaze without fear.

"Faced with Lin Hao's defense, you're already scared! You've completely lost your fighting spirit!"

"All you think about is your stats! Only your shooting percentage!"

"But you know what? If it was Allen (Iverson), Kobe, Paul (Pierce), or Dwyane standing here..."

"They just face challenges head-on! Even if they miss countless shots, they'll keep shooting!"

Marbury has always been a rebellious person, and this can never be changed.

Even if he would be cut by the Cavaliers because of this, he would still do it.

"Is this how you speak to the team boss?"

James roared and pushed Marbury hard.

"What's the point of getting angry at me? If you have the guts, beat Lin Hao in the second half!"

Marbury stumbled a few steps before he stood firm, adjusted his jersey, and said with a sneer:

"Look at yourself now, you don't look like a superstar at all!"

"Where is the Chosen One, the Little Emperor, now?"

"They humiliated you before the game, and you actually begged them to let you go?"

"If I were you, I would just find a piece of tofu and kill myself!"

After hearing this, James' anger suddenly disappeared and he sat down with a lost look on his face.

Yeah! Where did my old self go? Where was my fighting spirit?

"Stephen, you're right! I won't fall any lower in the second half!"

"Don't worry, I will personally take back the shame I suffered earlier!"

James took a deep breath, and a hint of determination flashed in his eyes.

The halftime break is over and the game continues.

Cavaliers possession.

"LeBron, show me you're a man!"

After passing the ball to James, Marbury shouted loudly.

"Fuck! How can you, the leader of a team, be humiliated like this by your little brother?"

Lin Hao looked at James in surprise.

James said nothing and quickly called a pick-and-roll.

Chris Bosh moved to the high post and blocked Lin Hao.

James took advantage of the situation and headed towards the basket.

"boom!"

A tomahawk slam dunk.

Tyson Chandler just raised his hand as if to do something.

"Wow! LeBron finally lost his temper! The Knicks' inside line is useless!"

Craig Sager exclaimed.

"Boss, I thought you would come in to reinforce the defense!"

Chandler looked at Lin Hao with an innocent face.

Lin Hao had no time to pay attention to him.

Because the contrast between James before and after confused him.

He had begged me to let him go before, but now this happens!

"Hey, what's wrong with you?"

Lin Hao ran up to James with a confused look on his face.

James said nothing.

"Damn it! Are you sick? How come you change your expression faster than a woman?"

Lin Hao was confused.

Next, the Cavaliers began to frequently use pick-and-roll tactics.

I have to say that the Cavaliers' pick-and-roll is definitely top-notch in the league.

The gap between the two sides was quickly narrowed, with the Knicks leading by only 4 points.

"The Knicks were playing smoothly in the first half, but how did the Cavaliers just use a pick-and-roll to instantly close the gap?"

"Coach Zhang, could you explain this to the audience?"

Yang Yi asked.

"It seems that Mike Brown has found the key to success in defeating the Knicks!"

Zhang Heli sighed.

"How do you say this?"

Yu Jia asked, obviously very interested in Zhang Heli's analysis.

Zhang Heli began to explain in detail: "The key to all this lies in Chris Bosh."

He paused and continued:

"A lot of other teams only block when they play pick-and-roll, but they don't break it."

"For example, the Heat's pick-and-rolls often simply create space for the ball handler to break through, and the pick-and-roll player rarely participates in the subsequent offense."

"But Bosh is different. He's a power forward with great shooting ability."

"After he blocks the ball, he can still shoot from the outside, which puts the Knicks' defense in a dilemma."

"Specifically, if the Knicks don't switch, Lin Hao will continue to guard James."

"Under Lin Hao's defense, it was indeed difficult for James to find scoring opportunities, but he could pass to Bosh."

"Bosh, as an All-Star power forward, faced Varejao's defense and scored easily."

"But if the Knicks choose to switch, it will be a bigger problem."

Zhang Heli continued:

"Once the defense switches, Lin Hao will be pulled out to the perimeter by Bosh."

"With James's breakthrough ability, he can score easily without Lin Hao's defense."

"In addition, Big Z also has some mid-range shooting ability."

"His pick-and-roll cooperation with James is also very threatening, which makes the Knicks' defense more difficult to deal with."

Zhang Heli concluded: "So, the Knicks coach must be in a dilemma right now. He has to choose between switching defense or not switching."

Yu Jia exclaimed, "Coach Zhang's analysis is truly insightful!"

Knicks head coach Larry Brown was certainly aware of this problem, but he was helpless for a while.

The lesser of two evils!

Compared to Bosh's shooting, James's breakthrough is more lethal.

So, Larry Brown did not make any tactical adjustments.
