I stole James

Chapter 241 Three Points!

The Cavaliers have advanced to the second round of the playoffs for two consecutive years, and the fans of the team are already a little crazy with joy. Almost everywhere in the home court, you can see fans holding James posters and writhing crazily.

The small city of Cleveland was in a state of carnival, and even restaurants offered free meals to fans to celebrate the Cavaliers' promotion.

In the previous life, James' team and the Kate team could be regarded as a pair of enemies. They often met in the playoffs and successfully prevented James from entering the finals several times.

Now this grievance has continued into this life, and it is ahead of schedule, but now it is James' Cavaliers who have the advantage.

The starting lineup for the Celtics is: point guard Gary Payton, shooting guard Delonte West, small forward Paul Pierce, power forward Antawn Walker, center Lieve LaFrentz .

The Cavaliers' starting lineup is still: point guard Paul, shooting guard Tony Allen, small forward James, power forward Randolph, and center Z.

There is another person in the starting lineup of the Celtics——Delonte West has some relationship with James. It should be said that it is James' mother. In the previous life, there was a sensational "friend mother" Incident, but I am afraid that there will be no such opportunity in this life. For this guy, James never wanted him to come to the Cavaliers.

The big Z jumped the ball and won the opponent. The Cavaliers attacked first, Paul advanced with the ball, and Gary Payton followed up with the defense, but he didn't follow very closely. As an experienced veteran player, he knows how to distribute it reasonably on the court Physical strength, it is impossible to compete with a young rookie player.

Paul reached the top of the arc and passed the ball to James on the right wing. Paul Pierce lowered his center of gravity and defended.

Before the game, Celtics head coach Doug Rivers had a strategy for defending James, that is, using Pierce to defend James alone, and the players next to him helped defend in time.

Because Pierce is also a very strong and tonnage player, so he dared to use Pierce to defend James alone, and other teams are not very good at double-teaming when defending James. James' pass is too sharp. When double-teaming him, he can always find an angle to pass the ball to an open teammate.

The cost of double-teaming James is very high, and Rivers will not use it easily.

Now the Cavaliers have Paul and James who are very good at passing the ball. Rivers also has two points who can be responsible for single defense. Gary Payton follows Paul and Pierce follows James. This is just right.

James met Pierce with the ball, released the ball, dribbled in front of Pierce, dribbled, and then suddenly took a step back, beyond the three-point line, and took off for a three-point shot.

Pierce wanted to rush forward to block the block, and the basketball passed through his fingertips, and then fell firmly into the net.

The audience shouted "MVP! MVP! MVP!..."

Seeking proof, Ricky Davis, who is sitting on the Celtics bench at the moment, has a shadow area in his heart.

Gary Payton advanced with the ball and came to the frontcourt. Walker moved out and made a screen for him.

But Tony Allen got stuck between the two of them one step ahead and continued to go around and follow Payton. As the season progressed, Tony Allen was getting more and more feeling on the defensive end.

Gary Payton was so followed by him that he couldn't continue to rush in, so he had to give the ball to Walker who was in the low post.

Walker caught the ball and leaned against Randolph with his back, trying to carry Randolph into the seat.

But after he hit it twice, he found that he couldn't push the fat man behind him at all.

He had to lean on it, and then turned over and made a jumper, but it was obvious that he didn't jump high, and was slapped by Randolph directly.

James grabbed the basketball, dribbled the ball down quickly, came over and pulled it up from beyond the three-point line and made another three-point shot, very fast.

Still in.

The shouts of the home fans will blow up the scene.

"Three points! Three points again!"

"LeBron, kill 'em with a [-]-pointer!"

"One more! One more!"

"Great! Great! Send them home!"

……

Gary Payton came over with the ball and controlled the rhythm. Now the Cavaliers have started 6-0. They can't rush, or they will collapse easily. This is the benefit of a veteran in the team, knowing when to let the team calm down.

He saw Pierce get rid of James' defense under the cover of his teammates, hit the ground and send the ball over, Pierce catches the ball at a high position, makes a shot, and the floor-flow offensive kaleidoscope is still very powerful.

The Cavaliers attacked, Paul came to the frontcourt with the ball and handed it to James on the right wing, James then turned to Tony Allen in the bottom corner, Tony Allen took the ball and made another three-pointer.

The Cavaliers scored three three-pointers in the opening game, which directly stopped the Caters, and Rivers called a timeout.

"Damn it, expand the defensive line a little bit, don't let them shoot three-pointers easily, they have almost knocked us out!"

"Defend, defend out! Don't give them such easy shot space!"

"Keep an eye on your own people. If you missed someone, you should make up for it as soon as possible! Be on guard! Damn it!"

Rivers slapped the tactical board vigorously and yelled at the players under him.

Back from the timeout, the Celtics expanded their defense.

But like this, James broke through the basket in a row and scored two goals easily, which is really difficult to guard against.

The Celtics attacked, and Gary Payton gave the ball to Pierce after halftime, and Pierce quickly passed it to Walker who went down the middle.

But the ball was intercepted by James, the defense counterattacked, Paul rushed forward quickly, James' pass quickly caught up with him, and Paul received the pass when he rushed beyond the three-point line.

West caught up quickly and stood in front of Paul.

Paul didn't stop, but feinted, took a quick step, out of the way of West, and then threw the ball into the basket.

Paul Pierce took the ball from the right flank, let it go after feinting continuously, and forced James. James retreated and continued to defend with his hands up.

Pierce quickly turned around and wanted to hit the basket, but after turning around, he found that the big Z inside the Cavaliers had already defended in place, so he could only give the basketball to West in the left corner, and West received it. The ball is pulled up for a shot.

With a bang, there was a loud sound of iron striking, and the basketball bounced out of the frame.

Tony Allen grabbed the rebound and gave the ball to Paul, who dribbled off and James followed up on the other side.

The Celtics' defense chased Paul for a layup.

But Paul took the ball back with his right hand while he was on the move, and passed it to James with a single-handed hit from behind.

James took the ball and jumped up, dunked with both hands, and scored the basketball.
