I'm not really a role player

Chapter 313 The Sharp Counterattack
When the East and West semifinals proceeded to the G4 battle at the same time, the suspense of the East and West finals was almost over.

The Bobcats are 3-0 to the Cavaliers, only one game away from advancing.

In the West, the Lakers also beat the Jazz 3-0, and they are also only one victory away from advancing to the Western Conference Finals.

In the other two matchups, the Magic beat the Eagles 2-1, and the scene has already crushed the Eagles.

The Nuggets were very anxious in the first two games against the Spurs, but in the third game, the Nuggets relied on Guagua, Bilu, JR and other crazy players to break out and beat the Spurs.

It seems that the Eastern Conference Finals should be Bobcats vs Magic, Lakers vs Nuggets.

As far as the East is concerned, the Bobcats were not favored before the regular season, so they are naturally a dark horse.

Of course, if the time point is put before the playoffs, the Bobcats are not a dark horse.

ESPN's playoff show, a group of experts summed it up and concluded that there will be no dark horses in this season's finals.

It was also at this time that the league announced the ownership of the final best team.

Li Ke, who had no team in his rookie season and was on the second team of the best team in his second year, was finally selected to the first team of the league's best team in the regular season in his third year.

It was Wade who was squeezed out by Li Ke, so there was no controversy.

Because regardless of statistics or record, Li Ke is higher than Wade, this time, he really deserves it.

The best defensive team, Li Ke is also a team.

In this regard, he achieved an achievement of getting a team and a defense at the same time.

……

Before G4 of the Eastern Conference semifinals, Li Ke learned that Dan Crawford would be the whistleblower for G4. He immediately understood that Mr. Si was going to repeat his old tricks.

The Cavaliers were swept out, but for the league, the loss is not big.

But David Stern knew that Le Bon could no longer afford such a tragic loss.

After accidentally breaking into the finals in 07, Lebron's performance has deteriorated year after year.

In the 08 playoffs, he was eliminated by the Bobcats and was eliminated in the first round.

In the second round of the 09 playoffs, he was defeated by the Celtics.

This year, if you touch the Bobcats again, your exit in the second round is already a certainty.

But if the Bobcats really sweep, LeBron will run.

Mr. Si doesn't want to see Le Bon leave Cleveland. He knows what Le Bon means to Cleveland.

He believes that if LeBon leaves, the Cleveland ball market that he managed so hard to manage will plummet and return to the past.

Speaking of which, Mr. Si was also forced to go to Liangshan.

He has done things like field control.

But he really doesn't want to do this kind of thing in a certain round of the Eastern Conference playoffs, because it won't sell many tickets, and it won't stir up hot topics, so it's really meaningless.

……

The G4 battle, the Quicken Loans Center, and the pointless field control began like this.

Not long after the game started, Le Bon profited from the call.

It was just a simple breakthrough. With a slight raise of his hand, Dan Crawford blew his whistle and directly gave Li Ke a defensive foul.

Li Ke, who had anticipated the situation before him, was not surprised at all.

Speaking of which, Dan Crawford is also well-known.

He is not only Lebon's queen referee, he is also Wade's lucky star.

Wade has a winning rate of more than 70% when this guy whistles Wade, and he also gives Le Bon a winning rate of more than 75% in the game of blowing Lebron.

If the winning rate is too high, if you say there is no problem, then it can only be your problem.

At this moment, Li Ke is thinking about how to break the situation...

"Obviously, the whistle of this game will be tight, then we should fight the offense, Stephen, Sheldon, and Wesley, shoot the basket!"

Rivers' thinking was much simpler. He didn't consider the problem of biasing the whistle, but first preset a position where the whistle was tight but balanced, and then under this position, he found the best way.

attack!A better offense than the Cavaliers!

After careful consideration, Li Ke also felt that if he wanted to break the game, he had to attack more aggressively.

Back on the court, watching Lebron's free throw, Li Ke patted Curry: "Stephen, give me the ball later, I'll make a wall for you, you catch the ball, shoot directly, don't hesitate..."

Li Ke thought further. He knew that in the first three battles, the Bobcats had always been the core of their offense, and he was also the one who created the greater threat.

Then, the Cavaliers' defense will also focus on Li Ke.

Therefore, Li Ke decided to hand over the right to attack to Curry...

Swish-!
Bang-dang-!
Even with the referee's help, LeBron pulled his hips, made two free throws, and made one of two free throws.

With the Bobcats hitting an iron in the opening game, the score is now 1-0.

The Lynx's attack, Li Ke's attempt began.

At the top of the arc, he caught the ball and stood still, posing in a singles stance.

Lebron is very close, because he has the help of Big Z and Jamison, he only needs to defend Li Ke's shot.

At this moment, Curry galloped from the flank, and then Li Ke turned sideways, ending the three threats.

"At the top of the arc, Shelton turned sideways for a single block, hand-to-hand cooperation, Stephen Curry received the ball, moved a body position, and shot directly!"

Bang-dang-!
The ending is not very good, but the Bobcats' intentions are already obvious.

"A hand-to-hand cooperation at the top of the arc, the Bobcats' offense is going to the perimeter."

At the basket, Big Z grabbed the rebound.

Li Ke continued to try the Cavaliers' offense. This time, he tried the referee's penalty scale.

With one foul already on his back, Li Ke wanted to see if Dan Crawford dared to call two fouls in a row.

Therefore, his actions did not decrease, and he was still a very tough confrontation.

Subtly, Dan Crawford didn't blow.

More subtly, without the help of the whistle, Lebron's offense directly pulled the crotch.

sudden?Can't break through, vote?He was a little timid again, and threw the last pass.

Xiao Mo catches the ball, and under Lebron's signal, he directly throws it.

With a bang, there was no accidental strike.

In fact, seeing this, Li Ke understood why Wallis Zerbiak and Devin Brown, who had proven themselves as shooters in other teams, joined the Cavaliers.

Just cast like this, he goes, he also crotch...

At the basket, Jordan grabbed the rebound, switched offense and defense, and it was the Bobcats' turn to attack again.

This time, Li Ke changed his approach. He held the ball and feinted on the left side, letting Curry come out around the sideline.

With a screen from Jordan, Curry throws off Mo, catches the ball, and makes a direct shot...

Bang-dang-!
Another strike.

"It's okay, keep going..."

On the defensive end, Li Ke continued to defend strongly.

Lebron was very uncomfortable, but Dan Crawford seemed to shrink back, still without a whistle.

Without the whistle, Lebron's crotch fell, and even the attack of the Cavaliers continued to crotch.

Going back to the Bobcats' offense, although Curry has missed two shots, their strategy has been implemented without any hesitation.

In this way, the game went on unexpectedly——

"I thought this game would be a scoring battle (with the help of the referee's side whistle), but as a result, both sides have been fighting iron, and the game unexpectedly became a defensive battle."

"In the first half of the first quarter, the two teams played an ultra-low score of 5 to 4, and the Bobcats took the lead..."

During the official timeout, Kenny Smith shook his head and analyzed the wave.

Barkley winked his eyes: "Are you sure this is a defensive battle?"

After the official timeout, the situation on the field changed suddenly.

I don't know if the league was very dissatisfied with the first half of the game and issued a temporary order, or Dan Crawford reacted.

The game just restarted, the Cavaliers' offense, Lebron rushed, and the whistle blew.

Li Ke, who thought that there would be no such plot as two criminals in the first quarter, was immediately confused.

Even more confused was Rivers, who scratched his head: "Why don't you come down first, Sheldon?"

Li Ke shook his head, he couldn't make a move, this time, without Li Ke aiming at Le Bang all the time, the Bobcats' offense and defense would collapse.

Therefore, Li Ke could only bet that after Dan Crawford committed two offenses, he would not dare to call a third offense.

Therefore, Li Ke continued to stay on the field despite the pressure.

Not long after, 2 minutes later, before the end of the first quarter, there was still a seemingly normal wave of offense and defense.

Li Ke attacked, Le Bang defended, and turned around. When Li Ke wanted to play the ball for Curry, Le Bang suddenly staggered.

Beep!
Dan Crawford's whistle blew again.

"This...is an offensive foul?"

In the commentary seat, Kenny Smith scratched his head.

Dan Crawford on the field was very sure that this was an offensive foul.

What else could Li Ke say, he spread his hands, but he didn't force Le Bang to say: I never flop.

The third offense, this time, Rivers couldn't hold it anymore.

Taking advantage of the foul time, he replaced Li Ke with Tucker.

The first quarter of the Bobcats collapsed. Off the court, Li's coaching staff also began to discuss how to play the next game...

"Obviously, Sheldon can't guard LeBron James anymore, we have to switch to guard."

"Then the question is, who will defend?"

"Only PJ can go."

"Then let's go directly to Fifth Elementary School!"

Rivers suddenly said this, and the team's offensive assistant Almond Hill was stunned: "Are you sure?"

"We need a sweep, but in the face of such a biased lineup, we can't win anymore, so it's better to burn the boat, put it to death and survive. That's it, fifth little!"

……

At the end of the first quarter, Kenny Smith summed up the game with chaos.

"In the entire first quarter, the Bobcats and the Cavaliers didn't play the way they should. The nonsensical whistle also destroyed the game. I can't see a standard penalty. It's too confusing..."

"But it has to be said that someone has succeeded."

Barkley was more straightforward than Kenny Smith. "At the end of the first quarter, the Cavaliers managed to limit the Bobcats' scoring to 19 points. They themselves, relying on as many as 16 free throws in a single quarter, made 16 of 11 free throws and scored 25 points."

"At this point in the series, they finally ushered in an Eastern Conference semifinal with an advantageous start."

"It seems that they are about to win this game. Refusing to sweep should not be a big problem."

Kenny Smith was shaking his head again:
"Let's think about the Bobcat's comeback..."

"Turning over? How to turn over?"

Barkley sneered, eight hit five, do you still want to come back?

The beep of the timer for the opening of the second quarter suddenly sounded at this moment, and the two looked at the center of the court, and they were stunned.

"Steph Curry, Wesley Matthews, Shelton, Gerald Wallace and PJ Tucker? Is that five small lineup again?"

This set of five small lineups, the Bobcats have already done experiments on the Cavaliers, and the results are extremely miserable.

Now they took it out again, and the first reaction of Kenny Smith and Barkley was: the Bobcats were going to blow themselves up.

Bread Brown, who was on the opposite side, also showed an interesting expression. For this victory, it seemed that he had the chance to win.

They didn't know that the Bobcats who were experimenting for the first time were just a whim of Rivers at the time.

This time, the Bobcats had a few more trials in the team's training games. In terms of proficiency, it was completely different from before a few games.

"Remember, play fast and fast break, the defensive end should also rotate quickly, take advantage of the small man, and avoid the disadvantage when facing the big man!"

In the second quarter of the game, it was the Cavaliers' offense at first.

The defensive matchup on the field immediately made Kenny Smith and Barkley, as well as Bread Brown on the Cavaliers' bench, see the difference.

"It was PJ Tucker who defended LeBron, and Sheldon went to the center position?"

Kenny Smith shook his head: "Let's see how the Cavaliers' offense plays..."

No matter from the perspective of dislocation, or from the perspective of Li Ke's three fouls, Lebron has enough reasons to send the ball to the basket.

So, the Cavaliers ran for a while, and the basketball was given to Big Z.

"BigZ, singles at the basket, turned around, and was about to make a shot... Oh no, Sheldon just took out the basketball!"

Under the basket, Big Z took heavy steps, twisted his huge body, turned around and held the ball with both hands, trying to use his huge height advantage to hit one.

As a result, just as he raised the ball, Li Ke reached out and took it out.

Snapped!
The basketball just left Big Z's hand and landed on the floor.

Speaking of which, this season's Big Z is no longer at his peak, or the Cavaliers would not take the risk of using him for Jamison and then re-signing him back.

It's just that Varejao is still immature, and Big Z's tactical status is still very high, so the Cavaliers can only reuse him.

If we really want to talk about strength, the strength of Big Z last year can barely be used, but this year it is completely not enough.

In the first few games, with the same five small lineups, Tucker was the top center, and he didn't stand up to the big Z.

But for Li Ke, who is single-defense S-level, the situation is different immediately.

To put it bluntly, in terms of strength, Tucker is enough.

But with the awareness of defense, he is still a bit worse than Li Ke.

On the court, Li Ke, who successfully pulled out the ball, immediately used his flexibility to control the basketball, and pulling his legs was a quick counterattack.

"Counterattack, five Bobcats players are like five F1 cars at full power, five people sprinting towards the frontcourt...!"

As soon as the Bobcats counterattacked, Lebron didn't know how to defend.

The main reason is that the backcourt is almost three defenses and five defenses, which makes him powerless.

Immediately, it was Hua Er who was running wildly on the flank first.

Both Hamilton and Mo followed up and defended, and Jamison barely kept up with Tucker.

In the end, what they missed was the deadliest Li Ke...

"Sheldon has rushed to the frontcourt, a three-pointer without hesitation!"

Swish-!
The second the three-pointer was pocketed, Barkley seemed to breathe a sigh of relief: "The ball is scored, this counterattack is too sharp..."
