God's hand behind the scenes

Chapter 519 James' Playoff Mode

After returning to Charlotte, the entire Bobcats team was surprised to find fans coming to the airport to pick them up, wearing their authentic jerseys.This made everyone feel tears in their eyes. It seems that I have conquered the local fans in Charlotte with my performance. Although my influence is not greater than several famous schools including Duke, it is at least a good start.

This kind of situation greatly boosted the morale of the team. In the second day's training session, everyone seemed to have been given blood. Chang Wei, who was on the sidelines, watched with fear, for fear that they would be injured due to too much movement.But Jackson is very satisfied. He attaches great importance to the mental outlook of the players, and now he is full of confidence in the next game.

But as soon as Game [-] started, Jackson's confidence took a devastating blow.This time he continued to let Allen start and defend James one-on-one. However, James' touch seemed to return to the state of the first game where people blocked and killed, and Buddha blocked and killed Buddha, hitting consecutive shots on Allen's head.Although Allen still followed the same pattern to push James out of the three-second zone, he couldn't stop him from taking advantage of his height advantage to continue shooting. The key problem is that his shooting percentage is still quite high.

Chang Wei immediately guessed that James must have practiced shooting before the game. In his previous life, his three-pointers were not particularly accurate early in his career, at least not enough to be a threat, but his mid-range shooting percentage was very high. good.It may really be just an accident that Allen was defended to death in the last game, but now he seems to have regained his shooting touch.

Perhaps this is James' playoff mode. Whenever he enters this mode, it is difficult for anyone in the league to stop him.The relatively weak strength of the Bobcats was not in his eyes at the beginning, and he did not try his best in the first game, but Allen's successful defense of him still inspired James' inner blood, which also made him decide to go all out go all out.

Under the leadership of Roy, the Bobcats did not allow the Cavaliers to widen the point difference, but they have been catching up with the score. The point difference between the two sides has been floating back and forth between 6-8 points.Although this also means that the Bobcats are not directly taken away by the opponent, but the failure to chase points is a blow to morale. Whenever the Bobcats are about to start, James will always use precise mid-range shots to kill the momentum in the bud.Not only that, but he can also send assists to Hughes and Gibson on the outside, allowing them to hit three-pointers.

With more than three minutes left in the first quarter, Jackson had to withdraw the main lineup, and he clearly saw that everyone was exhausted from the sidelines.Especially Allen, he not only has to fight against James, but also bears the psychological pressure of being scored consecutively by the opponent. It can be said that he is the most tired of the Bobcats starting five, and the rest is also due.

Contrary to Jackson's surprise, Mike Brown replaced the other four, but left James on the court, which made him feel incredible.Is it possible that this pervert will play the full 48 minutes of this game?impossible?

Jackson thought that James would give the ball to his teammates, and he was just playing the role of an organizer, but soon he was horrified to find that James was still breaking through with the ball every round, whether it was Ariza on the outside or a puller on the inside. Neither Sim nor Lee could stop him, and if he reached out, he might have to be punished, so he could only rely on continuous outside shots to bite the score.

However, the closer the distance to the basket, the higher the shooting percentage is an undeniable truth on the basketball court. The Lynx shooters have worked very hard, but no one except Kapono can throw the ball into the basket, which also made the first quarter At the end, the Bobcats trailed 29 to 40 by 11 points, and James alone scored 12 points and 17 assists in 4 minutes.

After a short inter-section break, James once again walked on the court amidst the surprised eyes of everyone, and once again refreshed everyone's perception of his abnormal physical fitness.In desperation, Jackson can only be sent to the starting lineup. Facts have proved that the Bobcats' substitutes are simply vulnerable in front of James. Even if they can score, they cannot prevent James from scoring.

Allen was very unconvinced and prepared to cause trouble for James, but he got a personal foul in the first round. Although he hadn't reached the number of free throws, it also dampened Allen's heart.Everything that followed was a repeat of the first quarter, with the Bobcats even having to double-team James at times, and of course they couldn't triple-team if necessary, but that would be stupid, anyway. Can't the other two be allowed to face the four Cavaliers?
However, double-teaming can't stop James, who has started to go smoothly. Under his leadership, the Cavaliers set off wave after wave of offense. The Bobcats are like a small boat in the wind and waves, and may be overturned at any time .By the end of the first half, the Bobcats had trailed by as much as 21 points, and James' personal data had increased to 26 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists. You must know that this is the data of most players in one game. James did it in just one half.

This gave Jackson a big headache, but he couldn't think of a good solution for a while. He could only let Ariza start at the beginning of the second half and return to the lineup that played against the Cavaliers in the first game.This kind of response cannot be wrong, and it is also the best way the Bobcats can take at present, but Jackson forgot one thing, the morale of the Cavaliers has been raised by James, and now playing against each other will only make him die faster. But in any case, if there are no surprises, the game is already lost.

The Bobcats, who returned to the regular lineup, did have a small climax in the third quarter, narrowing the point difference to 12 points at one point, but James responded immediately. Pulled to more than 8 points.After finally getting through to the end of the third quarter, James has played 20 minutes, scored 36 points, 37 rebounds and 11 assists in a quasi-triple double, and it seems that if the Bobcats don’t throw in the ball and admit defeat, he still has room to play. The entire fourth quarter.

Jackson looked at the numbers on the scoreboard and shook his head helplessly. Obviously, the fourth quarter was already garbage time, and there was no need to send the main lineup to fight desperately.Seeing that the Bobcats sent a substitute lineup in the fourth quarter, Mike Brown also replaced James with dignity.Although he missed a triple-double, James is still very satisfied with a big victory. The most important thing is that he successfully got rid of Allen's defense during the game and directly blasted the opponent.If it was the regular season, maybe he would go up to condolences, but now it is a life-and-death playoffs, and winning has become James' only goal.
