You should cross the mountains like a brave man

Chapter 889
Chapter 900 Emperor's Heart Technique
James before the age of 30, most teams deal with him, just trap him, regardless of his teammates.

Before joining the group, he did not have good teammates.So this kind of crude targeting of "the second level catches it and it's over" is funny but effective.

The Heat have Wade Bosh, this set doesn't work anymore.

James, who returned to the Cavaliers, has turned 30 years old. He is old and his body is still well maintained, but his physical fitness can no longer be compared with that of his youth. Therefore, exhausting him is a brand new strategy.

Wei Xia did the same, almost forgetting that in addition to James, the Cavaliers also have Irving and Love.

Love was knocked off the wolf king's label in the Cavaliers, and his original shape appeared under the intensity of the playoffs. The reason why the Timberwolves were labeled as Huskies in those years was that Love, the Husky, had an unshirkable responsibility. However, because of his outstanding personal data, most people would think that the team dragged him down.In fact, looking at it now, Love and the Timberwolves are a match made in heaven. They are a drag on each other, let alone anyone else.

Love is useless, what about Irving?
How is Owen?Last year, Irving was reimbursed for the season after playing the first game of the conference finals, and the Cavaliers were simply taken away by the 76ers.

Now that he has played four games healthy, the 76ers still lead 3-1, which seems to show that he and Love are the same stuff.

The 76ers are no better than the opponents the Cavaliers have encountered before. The defensive strength they bring needs time to adapt.

It took Irving four games to adapt, and finally waited until tonight's outbreak.

The 76ers treat Irving basically on a single defense.

If you really can't cover it, let Wei Xia take care of it.

In the previous four games, Irving did not score more than 30 points in one game, which is very tricky but not fatal.

Therefore, today the 76ers still use Rondo/Holiday/Ubre to defend him alone.

The 76ers' routine has not changed, but Irving's state has changed.

He began to get used to the defensive intensity given by the 76ers.

The only thing the 76ers did badly was to give Irving a lot of open three-pointers.

But they can't be blamed, Irving's open three-point opportunities are not normal open three-pointers.

More than half of them were the Cavaliers' counterattacks and surprise attacks. Irving got a few seconds open, and when the ball came, he pulled it up and shot.

As an assassin, Irving's offensive arsenal is impeccable.

The barbers will naturally ignore the needs of the times and say that Owen will not play singles with his back, and they are right.Irving won't turn his back, and then what?Does it have any effect?

This kind of guy with complete offensive means, once he has a core to help attract firepower, and he hits hot, he will become very scary.

Moreover, the frontal PK between Wei Xia and James took away too many eyeballs.

Many people have overlooked one point. In the previous four games, Irving relied on his excellent one-on-one ability, averaging 25 points per game and shooting more than [-]%.

Adding all the super guards in active service, there may be none who can be said to be better than Irving in heads-up.

Westbrook has excellent physicality and unstable shooting ability;
Lillard is not yet a Mahayana period;

Wall has never been an offensive guard;

Pinnacle Rose is already a distant legend;

So, what about Curry?Unanimous MVP Curry's heads-up ability should always be better than Irving, right?In fact, this is a stereotyped flow of impressions. Curry's heads-up ability is not on the same level as Irving.

Curry's three-pointers with the ball look incredible, but most of them come off screens.There are not many cases of direct one-on-one shooting.This aspect is also a matter of playing habits. Curry is the least sticky ball among all superstar point guards in history.

In contrast, Irving has become accustomed to playing alone.When he entered the league, the Cavaliers were a bad team.So he has unlimited fire rights.No matter how much you criticize his shot selection, his efficiency is not low.

This is where Irving is superior to explosive little guys like Westbrook, Iverson, and Rose. One-on-one is tyrannical, and the efficiency of one-on-one with the ball is higher than the efficiency of these people's offense without the ball.

After such a comparison, Irving's heads-up is in the first position, and he is second in active service, and no one can be called the first.

When Cousins ​​made too many fouls, when Hayward was blocked to death by James, when the 76ers' ball handler was pinched by the Cavaliers so that only Wei Xia could output stably, when Wei Xia fought James with all his strength and bit the game with his extraordinary personal ability, whoever can stand up and break the game will be the hero to help the team win.

And this role was almost tailor-made for Irving.

At this time, the 76ers defended him was Holiday.

He is the second defender on the perimeter of the 76ers besides Weixia.

If he can't keep Owen, it will be bad luck for others.

In the end, he really couldn't keep it.

Leaving aside Irving's open three-pointer, his heads-up is the most impressive feature.

Moreover, it really relied on heads-up, one-on-one to beat the weak side of the 76ers.

Holiday scored 8 points in a single quarter by himself, 6 of 4.

He is outside the system, and many people criticize this. Similarly, since the Cavaliers system did not bring much improvement to his offense, it can be said that his single-handed scoring is basically based on his own personal ability.

Hit by hit, he started throwing a lot of unreasonable shots.

With one goal, he broke through Holiday, and Wei Xia left James to help defend. He didn't even look at James, who had a good touch from the outside, and drifted his shot and scored.

There was another goal, and Wei Xia was directly singled out head-on. He could be blocked at any time, but he had a strong heart to pull the bar in the air to avoid the defense and scored bluntly.

His courage and ambition completely liberated James' mind.

This is the first teammate that James has encountered in his career. When he feels tired and wants to give up, he can come to help him.

Wade was great, but his prime was quickly over with his injuries.

Posh Love Mo Williams generation, A Mao Agouer, not worth mentioning.

The Cavaliers originally had a 99% chance of collapsing in the fourth quarter, and Irving scored 40 points like a heavenly soldier.The suspense of the series that should have ended was postponed.

In addition to the Cavaliers' victory, there is also the continuation of the grievances between Cousins ​​and James.

That happened midway through the fourth quarter.

The Cavaliers lead by 12 points, and they win if they hold on.

Cousins ​​scored in single digits and didn't rebound in double figures. He fouled too many times and his playing time was cut to pieces.

Since there is not much chance of winning, and the 76ers still have two match points, he wants to be like the Cavaliers in the previous game, disgusting and disgusting opponents, and repaying them with the same way. This principle can be justified anywhere.

Therefore, he gave Thompson a flagrant foul.

The starting point of his foul was malicious, and the referee's characterization was also malicious. This move made the 76ers who had a slim chance of winning even worse.

Cousins ​​turned out to be the first to give up the game.

No one scolded him, Wei Xia was sitting off the court to rest.

He played for 32 minutes in a row, and Wright asked him to come down to take a few breaths. If the score is not drawn, he will come back and continue to play. If the Cavaliers can take the game into garbage time while Wei Xia is not there, it will stop here.

Rondo was also on the field.

The two people who can control Cousins ​​are both off the court.

This gave Cousins ​​a wrong psychological hint. He thought he had done the right thing, but instead of having the idea of ​​repentance, he even made mistakes.

The most controversial, most resonant, and most troublesome scene happened half a minute later.

Hayward is singled out from the outside, and his offense with the ball has improved a lot in recent seasons, but it still needs to be improved as the main offensive arrow in the playoffs.

His offense was supported by Holiday and Oubre.

The two opened up left and right, creating a wide enough offensive space for him. As long as he doesn't go to the basket, the stage is enough for him to stretch his arms and legs.

Hayward has not been able to bring out all his skills on this stage, and the time is too tight.

Hayward's shot is a difficult fadeaway jumper.

Fans who often use Wei Xia's trick think it is very simple, but once the user's ID is changed, the ballistic deviation is outrageous.

At the same time, the competition for the position of the basket is even more intense.

Cousins ​​has an inherent advantage as an insider, and James doesn't want his teammates to work hard to defend a round and be robbed of offensive rebounds.

He bumped Cousins ​​from behind.

In his heart, he had already calculated that when Cousins ​​jumped up to grab the rebound, he would push him away from behind.As long as the technique is stealthy, the referee will not blow the whistle.

The rebound fell on the two of them. If there is no problem, Cousins ​​​​should be sure about the offensive rebound.

Just as Cousins ​​jumped up to catch the rebound with all his strength, and if he wanted to make a dunk if he had the opportunity, James hit him from behind, which really caused the same effect as the previous game.

Cousins ​​fell in front of James.

The referee didn't call a foul with his whistle in his mouth.

The rebound was protected by the Cavaliers. James looked down and saw Cousins ​​lying in front of him. Thinking of how Cousins ​​humiliated him in front of his wife and children in the previous two games, his anger rose from his heart.

The Chosen One raised his noble right foot and deliberately stepped over Cousins' head.

The furious Cousins ​​got up from the ground and punched James.

Fortunately, James has already walked out of Cousins' attack range. Cousins, who was about to throw his second punch, was surrounded by gathered teammates.

But soon, he broke away from his teammates, rushed behind James and knocked him down.

"Beep beep!"

The referee rushed up in an instant and blew Cousins' sixth foul, but the scolding battle between the two sides had already begun. Cousins ​​and James sparred at each other, causing the temperature in the Fuguo Center to rise suddenly.

Wei Xia sat silently on the sidelines, and he saw that although James looked furious, his face was satisfied.

Yes, Cousins' reaction was all within his expectations.

It's just a play at this time.

Cousins ​​fouled out and gave the Cavaliers two free throws.

There are still 5 minutes to the end of the game, but the suspense is almost gone.
