I'm really not a brush in basketball

Chapter 190 189. The Second Lore Knight
Chen Long's shot made James feel quite broken.

But the most helpless person is Cavaliers coach Mike Brown.

In the previous three regular season games, Brown made a series of defensive strategies tailored to Chen Long.

It included full-time two-teaming, unlimited defense changes plus multi-teaming, zone defense and shrinking double-teaming, etc., but all failed.

In the end, Brown had to use the best small forward in the league to deal with Chen Long. As a result, Chen Long was still scoring efficiently.

Mike Brown has given up defending Chen Long, and now he only wants to use other Cavaliers to defend players other than Chen Long.

As the game continued, Chen Long also couldn't prevent James' breakthrough, but the Bulls had already prepared the iron bucket formation.

As soon as James rushed to the basket, the Bulls shrank their defense with a three-pointer.

James bumped into Tyrus Thomas and passed the ball to Lorenzen White who got an open shot. White missed the basket and Springman controlled the rebound.

"Damn it!" James was speechless.

Tyrus passed to Chen Long, Chen Long passed a long pass to Ross, Ross scored a layup under Xiao Mo's defense, and at the same time had to add a penalty.

James kicked the basket angrily.

Lorenzen White was also annoyed.

But at this time, he has lost the strength to continue to play in the NBA, and such mistakes are enough to illustrate this point.

So after this battle, Lorenzen White officially announced his retirement.

Rose made a free throw.

The point difference suddenly came to 6 points.

Teammates can't do it, James can only break through and cause damage by himself.

The whistle blew and Tyrus Thomas was called for a blocking foul.

The Cavaliers sent the baseline ball, James passed to Mo Williams, and then immediately rushed to the bottom corner to receive the pass back and hit a three-pointer.

Chen Long couldn't help complaining, "Three points are not bad."

"I can do everything you can!" James replied angrily.

Chen Long shrugged, meaning you can say whatever you want.

Changing sides to fight again, Chen Long broke into the basket and gave it to Sean Marion, and the hacker hit a three-pointer again!
"I can assist my teammates to make threes."

Hearing Chen Long's words, James was helpless, because it wasn't that he couldn't pass the ball, but that none of his teammates had a stable three-pointer.

Xiao Mo can shoot three-pointers, but Rose followed him every step of the way. Except for his own shots, James had no way to deliver ammunition to him.

As for Delonte West's three-point ability, it's not worth looking forward to like his people.

The same is the core, the same organization small forward, but Chen Long and James have completely different lives.

Chen Long played with ease, while James had to carry the whole team on his back to barely tie the score with the Bulls.

After the bull riding battle last time, James was tired and cramped and was carried back to the locker room.

If today's game can be played until the last minute, James feels that what happened that time will still happen.

Chen Long's pass threat became stronger because of his teammates, so the Cavaliers did not dare to completely double-team.

Chen Long broke through and dunked successfully.

Lorenzen White's defense speed was too slow, and by the time he jumped up, Chen Long had already sent the ball into the basket.

James really doesn't want to say it, but this center is really not good.

Mike Brown had to replace Lorenzen White, Varejao played center, and then replaced forward Wallis Zebiak.

Wallis Zebiak was a good scorer when he was in the Timberwolves, but due to physical limitations, he, like Lorenzen White, is a veteran on the verge of retirement.

James looked at these veterans who had run out of gas, nothing but helplessness.

With the same sudden cut, Varejao did better than White, and the Brazilian made an empty layup.

Looking at the best helpers around him, Xiao Mo and Varejao, James had no time to sigh, so he had to bury his head and do more on both offensive and defensive ends.

Driven by the little emperor, the Cavaliers kept the point difference at about 5 points.

The game went to the last quarter.

James went straight to the court without a break.

The matchup between James and Luol Deng can be described in two words.

On the one hand, there are three-pointers and breakthrough layups, and on the other hand, there are offensive mistakes and being criticized. Luol Deng's performance is getting worse and worse.

The Cavaliers overtook the score.

Main players such as Chen Long and Ross played.

James knew that the real decisive battle had begun, so he forced himself to pull himself together and succeeded in a layup with a man on his back, 2+1!

There was a round of applause at the United Center.

Because James has scored 47 points so far, which is higher than the rest of the Cavaliers combined.

James hit an extra penalty, and the Cavaliers increased the lead to 10 points.

Vinidnagro still did not call a timeout, and Chen Long was the brain on the field.

Looking at the current situation, Chen Long first responded with a resolute breakthrough 2+1.

Varejao explained to the referee disappointed.

But the Brazilian had a concealed elbow swing when Chen Long layup, and the referee didn't give him a T, which is very good.

Chen Long also made an extra penalty.

At this time, Xiao Mo made a mistake in dribbling.

Rose steals, James desperately chases back and then jumps up to complete the peg block when Rose lays up.

But I didn't want Rose to pull the bar in the air and make a backhand layup as if he had eyes in the back of his head.

James knocked Rose down due to inertia.

The referee didn't blow, but there was another burst of boos from the United Center audience.

James stretched out his hand and pulled Rose up. Regardless of whether he had the opportunity to cooperate with Rose in the future, James now felt that this young man was really great.

Rose still had that calm expression of facial paralysis.

"Are you okay?" Chen Long asked with concern.

Ross shook his head.

The point difference has changed back to five points, and it seems that Xiao Mo's confidence has been severely hit.

James still handed the ball to Mo Williams.

Xiao Mo and Varejao wanted to pick and roll, and then hit the ground to West, who made a jumper.

"Good job!" James himself has to save his energy for the final battle, so every time his teammates make an attack, he has to applaud.

In turn, Chen Long assisted Noah for a layup.

The Bulls can score too many people, and Varejao has to take care of the defense in the middle, so Chen Long can tear the Cavaliers' defense every time he breaks through.

Seeing that Chen Long's offensive thinking has always been so clear, Vinidnagro felt that the only meaning of his existence as a coach was to watch the show in the front row...

The game progressed to the final critical moment.

Chen Long and James started to confront each other again.

The difference is that Chen Long killed the game with a shot, while James continued to break through.

Because the referee rarely blows the whistle at the last moment, James has been scoring, but it is not as fatal as Chen Long's three-pointer.

Chen Long made a successful mid-range shot, and the two teams scored equally.

James once again gave the Cavaliers the lead with a three-pointer.

Mike Brown clenched his fists excitedly, but he knew that as long as the timing board did not light up the red light, the game might be reversed.

Then, Chen Long dribbled the ball and shot a super long three-pointer to tie the score.

In the last attack of the Cavaliers, James rushed to the basket, attracted the defense of the Bulls, and decisively passed to Xiao Mo who was open.

Xiao Mo missed a three-pointer.

Pooh immediately called a timeout.

Sean Marion found Chen Long with a sideline ball. Chen Long faced James and made a crossover turnaround jumper, and the basketball flew directly into the basket.

At the end of the game, Chen Long beat the Cleveland Cavaliers for the second time!
