I stole James

Chapter 158 Only James Can Drive

With James' breakthrough layup again, at the end of the third quarter, the Cavaliers tied the score.

The two teams entered the final quarter of the contest.

"Even if LeBron regained his touch in the third quarter and led the team to even the point difference, he still faces a very serious problem, that is, Paul Silas dare not let him rest.

At the end of the regular season, they were trying to make it to the playoffs, and LeBron's playing time was getting longer and longer. He played several games without rest, which was too exhausting for his body.

Now it's the playoffs, the confrontation is more intense, and there is no rest time. How long can LeBron's physical fitness last?

Today he played almost the whole game again, and only hurried off the court for a minute or two to rest, and then he was sent up again, because without him on the court, the Cavaliers lost their game and were instantly outscored by the Heat. climax.

The playoffs are not just one game, this is a protracted war. "Kenny Smith analyzed.

Barkley nodded heavily, "This is indeed a big problem, and the Cavaliers can't solve it now. Without LeBron, they will soon be reduced from a playoff team to a poor team.

Once LeBron is off the court, opponents will seize on this and hit them hard.

Unless they can take the lead on the field and widen the point difference, LeBron may have a rest time, otherwise, a one-minute rest is a luxury. "

"In fact, the Cavaliers' inside players, Big Z and Boozer, both have certain offensive capabilities, but they need someone to pass the ball to them and make a good pass.

Although McGinnis has good assist statistics after coming to the Cavaliers, but that's because LeBron is on the court, forming a check on the opponent, so he plays well.

Once LeBron is off the court and opponents watch him closely, McGinnis' efficiency drops sharply.

So Paul Silas really didn't dare to let LeBron go off the court to rest. Without him, the Cavaliers couldn't function. "Kenny Smith said.

On the field, the Heat attacked, Eddie Jones held the ball and advanced all the way from the backcourt. He suddenly accelerated at the top of the arc, shook McGinnis, and rushed towards the Cavaliers basket.

At the basket, he attracted the double-team from the Cavaliers, threw the basketball high towards the basket, followed up with Wade, who was going down, jumped up vigorously, made an alley-oop, and dunked the basketball into the basket fiercely with both hands.

The Heat took the lead again.

The Cavaliers served the ball, and McGinnis advanced with the ball. After reaching the top of the arc, he moved along the three-point line to the right flank, facing Wade's defense, after a feint, took a step across, and pulled up to shoot a three-pointer.

This shooting action is very chic, just a bang, and it hits the iron.

This is a long rebound, the basketball pops out, Odom grabs it, and he dribbles the ball directly for a fast break.

For him who is known as the "left-handed magician", his dribbling is pretty good. He gallops to the frontcourt, jumps near the basket, and prepares for a two-handed dunk.

This kind of ball, as long as it is played, is a very morale-boosting and exciting ball. No one will dislike it, except the opponent.

A few days ago, he met Khloe Kardashian at a party with his friends in Los Angeles. The two had a great chat. They found a room to chat all night long. Kardashian said he liked his dunks on the court. He looked very masculine, and said that he would take time to watch the live broadcast of the playoffs between their team and the Cavaliers.

Odom jumped into the air, flashing Kardashian in his mind, thinking of Kardashian seeing his dunk, screaming and applauding himself, fascinated by his majestic strength.

Ah, that really feels like being in the clouds.

The fans at the scene also screamed. Odom has already lifted the basketball to the highest point. The next moment, the basketball will be dunked into the basket by him.

Snapped!A crisp sound sounded.

The basketball in Odom's hand was pinned to the backboard by James, who was quickly chasing up from behind, and his whole body instantly fell to the floor as if he was shot from the clouds by James.

"LeBron! LeBron! LeBron!  …"

The fans cheered wildly.

Without any delay, James received the basketball and directly passed the ball from his shoulder, across the court, to the basket in the frontcourt, to Big Z, who received the basketball, and made a light layup.

After Big Z scored the goal, James had time to put his hands on his hips, panting heavily, and took the opportunity to rest for a few seconds.

Even though his physical fitness was superhuman, in the final analysis, he was still a man of flesh and blood, not an iron man. Under intense consumption, his physical fitness declined very quickly.

Especially in the second half, he strengthened his personal attack, and the Heat's defense was more and more focused on him. In addition to Eddie Jones' main defense and Wade's side harassment, sometimes even three people defended and four people defended him.

If he wants to break through and complete the layup, he basically has to kill in the muscle group to make it possible.

Alston came over with the ball, and he replaced Wade, allowing Wade to get valuable rest time.

For James, he is not as lucky as his brother. No one in the Cavaliers can take his place and let him rest.

When he played point guard before, the point guard position was too weak. Later, after the team traded Ricky Davis away, he switched to the small forward position. At that time, Miles could still play on top, but Mike After Erles was also traded, the team got McGinnis at the point guard position, but the small forward position was weakened.

So he envied Wade, the Heat dared to let him rest.

It stands to reason that the big Z of the Cavaliers was also selected as an All-Star. Although at the center position, in this era of declining centers, there is not much competition for the center position in the Eastern Conference, but he has been selected as an All-Star after all.There is also Boozer, who will be a proper star player in the future. He still has strength. Although he is just emerging now, he has also played some brilliant games.

According to the fans in the future, they all have the strength of the Big Three, so why can't they support James to rest for a while.

But now is not the future. Boozer doesn't care about the Cavaliers. He has only been in the league for two years. He is not the future Jazz Boozer who can torture the Rockets.

Big Z can make the All-Star, in the final analysis, because the center position has less competition in the East, not because of its superior strength.

So for the current lineup of the Cavaliers, Barkley once sighed, "Only James can bring it into the playoffs. If it is replaced by someone else, it really can't bring it. I can’t imagine making it to the playoffs with this lineup.”
