Chapter 243 Solutions
In the fifth game between the Spurs and the Rockets, the Rockets' restrictions on Duncan have reached the extreme, but the Spurs' substitutes exploded the Rockets' substitutes. The Spurs won the first ticket to the finals.

The sixth game of the Eastern Conference Finals is going to the Cavaliers' home court again. James has already said that he must not let the game end at home.

"We all believe that our team will win, so it is meaningless to say anything at this time. Which team can win the game will be decided on the field."

In the past two days, Li Hai was also extremely strict during the team's training. He absolutely couldn't let the Cavaliers tie the score. There were too many uncertainties in the tiebreaker.

And they are already better than the Cavaliers and should not lose the game, whether it is home or away.

At this point in the playoffs, it is absolutely impossible to have no fighting spirit and ruthlessness.

"Bring the championship trophy back to New York." Li Hai and everyone said seriously when they set off for the away game.

The Knicks are going to win the championship again, and the Cavaliers led by James reached the Eastern Conference Finals for the first time. Before the game started, the arena was full of chills.

At the beginning of the game, the two teams felt that they were not as fierce as the last two games. Just like the first game, they played from the inside first.

But under the seemingly peaceful game, it was the performance of both sides who were cautious and took it to the extreme.

James did not rush to attack, the first thing he showed was organization and oppressive defense.

"Why, I don't dare to fight anymore." Li Hai spouted trash talk, pulled it up and voted.

Hit, the more it feels like this, the fingers are so sensitive that they can feel the thinness of the air.

James was very depressed. Not playing against anyone was as uncomfortable as playing against Li Hai. It's not that he couldn't force Li Hai, but he had tried that style of play before, and the Cavaliers couldn't lose again.

The starting performances of both sides were good. Just after half of the quarter, both scores were recorded.

It's not unusual for the Knicks, but for the Cavaliers, it means that their players are in good condition and James' pass is also very timely.

Defending a player like James cannot make him do nothing. It is very difficult to stop him from attacking. It is almost impossible to interfere with the pass. Only in the fast-paced transition of offense and defense can Li Hai seize the opportunity to let The opponent made a mistake.

This is all relative, just like James has nothing to do with him many times.

In the first quarter, the two sides were evenly matched. The Cavaliers' outside shots were more accurate. At the end of the first quarter, they led the Knicks by 2 points.

The game was so tangled, James didn't plan to go down to rest at all.

Li Hai went down to adjust for 1 minute, and then quickly returned to the field. Unlike his teammates, James, who was more cautious outside shooting, didn't feel good. He directly strengthened his breakthrough and dug in from the second quarter.

Of course, the Knicks will not let him succeed easily, and resolutely implement the strategy of fouling James, preferring not to give the opponent a direct chance to score.

They want James to have a subconscious fear of the team's defense and affect his performance at critical times.

In the second quarter, James' free throws were not bad, and it is estimated that he has been practicing hard these days.

However, when James rushed inside with all his strength, he couldn't take care of organizing the offense, because if he didn't make up his mind to go forward, he wouldn't be able to rush to the Knicks basket.

Unlike James, Li Hai is working hard to play teamwork, which is just the end point of teamwork. He gets shots through screens and pick-and-rolls, and hits the ball one by one.

Li Hai's seemingly easy scoring method is not something everyone can do.

Excellent running position, shots without timing adjustments, even if there is physical contact, they will not be disturbed. It is not so easy to get a chance in the playoffs, and it is even more difficult to make a shot. Li Hai is able to do so because of his strong overall quality to this extent.

Ordinary pitchers have exhausted all their strength in the previous confrontation, and it is impossible to have a sufficient hit rate.

Li Hai's attack made the Cavaliers feel a great threat, and James alone could not stop it.

Although James has been scoring, James' style of play consumes too much. If it continues like this, it is likely to appear on the court again, and the Knicks cannot be prevented from breaking out in the fourth quarter.

At halftime, the Knicks had gained a 49-point advantage 45:4.

In the Cavaliers' locker room, everyone looked dignified. After a while, their head coach spat out two words, "Teaming."

On the other side, Li Hai was speaking, "Are you ready to give your opponent the final blow?"

"In the third quarter, increase the intensity to another level until they can't keep up. We are the defending champions, and we don't play tie-breaks."

At the beginning of the second half, the movement of the Knicks' players abruptly increased the rhythm, not to speed up the defensive rhythm, but to force the opponent regardless of consumption during the positional battle.

The Cavaliers also had the same plan. As soon as Li Hai received the ball, they double-teamed them.

Li Hai decisively threw the ball to Francis, Francis gave the ball to Marbury, and Marbury made a shot.

It turned the pincer attack into a loophole so easily, and Mike Brown's face became even darker as he stood on the sidelines.

Unlike the Knicks, the Cavaliers fell into a scoring drought. They didn't score a point for 3 minutes, and the basket seemed to be covered.

The Knicks' lead went from 4 points to 6 points, and then to 8 points. Suddenly, a three-pointer widened the gap between the two sides to double digits.

Seeing that the team was about to jump, Mike Brown was a little confused. He couldn't figure out what the problem was. Could it be that the tactics he formulated in advance were meaningless.

If he couldn't start the situation, he had to make a substitution. He replaced the teenager Daniel Gibson in advance. This second-round rookie is the biggest discovery of the Cavaliers playoffs. He has an accurate basket and a big heart.

After Gibson came up, he hit a three-pointer very quickly. Mike Brown couldn't help but clenched his fist, but then he became depressed again. He had to rely on a rookie's performance to save him. He was helpless.

If the Knicks want to guard against James, there will inevitably be loopholes outside the three-point line. Even if the rotation is fast and they encounter quick shots, there is no way, but the Cavaliers in front of them can't make shots.

After Gibson came up, unlike the obscurity in the first half, he hit consecutive three-pointers, and James also went to the low post to create opportunities for his teammates.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Cavaliers chased the score to only 1 point.

The Knicks quickly requested a timeout, and their solution was not complicated. James still flanked, but the space outside was not empty for Gibson. At the same time, strengthening their offense was the fundamental solution.
