God's hand behind the scenes

Chapter 551 Inside Version James
The starting lineup of the Cavaliers in the second half surprised almost everyone. Brown put on Gibson, West, Hughes, James and Ilgauskas. What means.

The only one who wasn't frightened was Chang Wei, and he didn't think it was a lineup of one big and four small.In the previous life, James appeared more often in the fourth position after he fully entered the mature stage, and his performance was quite good.The data shows that he is very suitable for the power forward position. To some extent, he is the favorite type of small ball tactical wing player who can play inside.

Chang Wei did not guess wrong. In the first offensive round of the Cavaliers in the second half, James calmly raised his hand for the ball in a deep position in the interior.After West hit the ground and passed the ball to him, James played a few back-and-forth singles like a pure inside player, forced a turn and layup against Milicic, and helped the Cavaliers get the first two in the second half. point.

If you don't look at his appearance and number, this is simply a guy who has been asking for life in the paint.James' post-up singles made Milicic feel extremely ashamed, because he became the background board of this attack and also brought out James' strength advantage.Jackson also looked serious. He originally thought that the Cavaliers wanted to forcibly speed up the pace of the game. He didn't expect that Brown's real purpose was to let James strengthen the Cavaliers' internal strength. This adjustment caught him by surprise.

If James played with his hands tied, Jackson might not be so worried, but in fact, for the goal just now, James adopted the most traditional inside style of play, and his footsteps are completely impeccable.To make matters worse, James' strength has allowed him to eat a lot in the paint, and letting him swing up to the [-]th position will undoubtedly improve the strength of the Cavaliers paint at least a notch.

With James inside, it will be difficult for the Bobcats' twin towers to take advantage of the defensive end.Indeed, when the team is attacking, they can use their height to hit James' head, but when defending, they have almost nothing to do with James' singles with the ball, let alone he will pass the ball at the right time In the hands of the right teammates.

However, James still scored more in the interior. The Bobcats did not shrink the defense as they did before, but left him to the two big men in the interior to solve.Milicic resists James and Gasol Jr. assists in defense, which can limit James' singles very well, but it is still difficult for them to limit this guy's passing.In addition to passing to teammates on the outside, James will also pass the ball to Ilgauskas in a very narrow space, allowing the latter to score with his iconic big hook.

Thanks to James' excellent performance in the interior, the Cavaliers and the Bobcats were evenly matched in the third quarter. James scored 11 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 blocks in a single quarter. The Bobcats opened the score.

Jackson's face was very ugly. Originally, his idea was to get a double-digit lead in the third quarter. Not to mention turning the fourth quarter into garbage time, at least it would severely damage the morale of the Cavaliers.But I didn't expect James to be so effective as a power forward. Except for his lack of height, he is no different from any inside player, and even performed better.

Obviously, it is not acceptable to continue to adopt the previous strategy in the fourth quarter, and Jackson must make adjustments to this.Chang Wei also saw that the team was in trouble. He thought for a while and said to Jackson, "Why don't we remove Darko and let Jason guard LeBron?"

Jackson glanced at him suspiciously, and asked in a low voice: "What kind of adjustment is this? Do you think Jason can do things that even Darko can't do? Don't take away our original height advantage inside." Gone……"

"Damon, it's a question of style. I know Darko is better than Jason in terms of height and weight, but the truth is he's technical, and Jason is more used to solving problems with his body. He's the type The common style is black and hard, and the style is very tough. Darko will subconsciously retreat when facing LeBron’s post-up singles, and Jason will go up. I think I can try it.”

"Okay, okay, your brain is still as big as ever." Jackson complained, "But now it seems that we have no other way to deal with it. There is only the last quarter left in the game. I hope Jason can bring us a surprise. Bar!"

When Jackson told the players about this adjustment, everyone had no opinion, and so did Milicic.The past quarter of the game was a nightmare for him. As the team's power forward, James had to face him almost every time he attacked. He even began to wonder whether the body of No. 23 was flesh and blood or steel and steel. gear.Every time James played back singles, he felt a wall against him. Now that he has rested for a while, he still feels a dull pain in his chest.

Now the coach wants to adjust the lineup and let Maxhill go up to face James, so let him try it. Anyway, Milicic feels that he still needs time to take a good breath. The pressure James put on him just now is too great.

To Jackson's surprise, Mark Hill's effect was really good after he came on the stage. Although it can be seen that he also felt a little pain when James played back singles, at least he forcibly withstood James' advance and did not take half a step back. .And Max Hill's movement speed is also good, James' shots are rarely not interfered by him.

With Max Hill restricting James, the Bobcats played their familiar basketball again, but this time they mainly used breakthroughs to score and strive to cause James' personal foul.With 7 minutes and 13 seconds left in the fourth quarter, James had already received his fifth personal foul. To be on the safe side, Brown replaced him as soon as possible, and was ready to wait until the last moment.

However, as soon as James left the field, the Bobcats immediately played a small climax, forcing James to re-dress in less than 2 minutes after leaving the field.But at this time, the situation on the field has been controlled by the Bobcats, and their lead has reached double digits. Even if James can score, it will be difficult for the Cavaliers to make a comeback. The Bobcats are not easy to pinch.

Brown regretted that he replaced James in advance, but what can be done?If he continues to let James, who has committed 5 fouls, stay on the court, the Bobcats will focus on attacking him at this point, and the final result may not change much.In the last few minutes, James has been very desperate, but he can't stop the bobcats who are united. In the end, the bobcats easily defeated the Cavaliers 111 to 100 at their home court, rewriting the big score to 3 to 1. Now they only need to win another The team's morale has reached the highest value since the start of the series.
