Chapter 722 The league's top off-ball ability

"Bang -- good shot!" Mike Breen explained enthusiastically.

The Raptors temporarily lead 4:2.

Jeff Van Gundy shook his head and said, "Kevin is under the basket, why doesn't he even stretch out his hand, it's too easy for the opponent to score inside!"

"Kevin is this defensive habit, he prefers to get stuck and grab defensive rebounds." Mike Breen said.

After the opening, the offensive success rate of the two teams was very high, and they both continued their good form in the second round of the playoffs to this game.

Irving dribbled the ball and gave it to James who was outside the 3-point line on the right wing.

James held the ball against Xiong, and the home team fans immediately cheered.This is a matchup between two top players in the league. Who doesn't want to see a confrontation between superstars?
James called Love to come out for the pick-and-roll.

Ying Xiong's way of defending James is to use the method of going around the screen, giving certain opportunities for outside calls, and mainly defending against breakthroughs.

It is completely impossible to defend a historical superstar and defend all his offensive methods.There is a trade-off here.Ying Xiong's choice is to give long-range shots and not give breakthroughs.

The quality of Love's cover can really be described as poor.Ying Xiong didn't even need to go around to cover, and could easily squeeze through.

With the help of the screen, or with his excellent offensive sense, James found the opportunity to cut in. He took advantage of the time difference and changed direction to his right hand.

Ying Xiong's defense against James is to prevent him from speeding up and limit his footing.I can give you a chance to shoot from a long distance, and I can also give you a chance to make an emergency stop jump shot, but I just don't let you get to the basket, and I don't let you comfortably connect with your teammates.

James didn't attract a pincer attack, so he couldn't find an open teammate.He stopped the ball near the penalty area and could only pass the ball to Irving outside the 3-point line.

"Ying's defense is very targeted, which makes LeBron very uncomfortable!" Mike Breen said.

"LeBron's 3-point shooting in Miami this season is not very good due to his back injury this season. He should have given him a 3-point opportunity just now, but he hesitated. Faster, less of a threat," Jeff Van Gundy explained.

"LeBron just had a chance to pull up a jumper," Mike Breen said.

"That's what should be given to him. He just knows that he is not good at this. If he is defending Kevin Durant or Stephen Curry, he will use other methods." Jeff Van Gundy said.

Love made a 3-point shot-no!
Valanciunas accepted the rebound and handed it to Jeremy Lin to advance.

On the Raptors side, Ying Xiong faced Shumpert's defense and turned over and made a jumper-none.

James accepted the rebound and came over with the ball himself.

"Iman's corresponding defense did a good job!" Mike Breen said.

"Yes, most people thought that the ball just now was due to a missed jump shot, but in fact, he was a little unsteady in his shooting hand in order to avoid Iman's cut ball." Jeff Van Gundy said.

--Inside the door to see the door, the layman to watch the fun.

James used Love's pick-and-roll at the top of the arc to score Love from the outside.

Love made a feint and broke through with the ball, and Amir Johnson succeeded!
"Kevin's ability to draw fouls ranks very high among the big men in the league!" Mike Brin said with a smile.

"The big men who can shoot and hold the ball have such skills. Not only Kevin, but many such big men in the league can draw fouls. Of course, Kevin is relatively proficient in this area among this group of people." Jie Husband Van Gundy said.

Love stood on the free throw line and made two free throws steadily, and the two sides tied for 4.

Jeremy Lin dribbles over and holds the ball at the top of the arc.

With the help of his teammate's off-ball screen, Ying Xiong ran out of the open space, received a second pass from Jeremy Lin, and shot a jumper-hit!
"Beautiful catch and jumper!" Mike Breen explained passionately.

"Ying's off-ball ability is also top in the league!" Jeff Van Gundy said.

Owen came over to use the cover to pull out directly, but was blocked by Jeremy Lin!
Ying Xiong got the ball and counterattacked quickly, but was destroyed by Shumpert's tactical foul.

"Kyrie's shot was too simple, and he didn't take the opponent seriously when he shot a jumper before he could get away completely!" Mike Breen said, shaking his head.

"In the current Cavaliers, Kyrie is a sharp knife with the ball in singles. The task of organizing the offense is all on LeBron. Cleveland's offensive end is dual-core and breaks through. Relying on the superstar's super one-on-one ability, forcefully tear apart The opponent's defense, this style of play, can be said to be a crash." Jeff Van Gundy explained.

"Cleveland's offensive tactics are too direct and obvious. Facing the Toronto Raptors who also have a superstar, this opponent is not the Atlanta Hawks who did not have a superstar in the last round!" Mike Breen said.

The Raptors continued to attack, Ying Xiong continued to move without the ball, received DeRozan's breakthrough ball, made two breakthroughs to throw away Shumpert's half position, and made a strong breakthrough inside.

Mozgov came to help defend, Ying Xiong gave the ball to Amir Johnson, who received the ball to face Love's tofu defense, and forced a layup from the basket...

But James helped defend and blocked Amir Johnson's layup over the baseline...

"LeBron's defense in the regular season and the current defense are completely two intensities!" Mike Breen sighed.

"LeBron's assisted defense is historic. He is conserving his physical fitness during the regular season. After all, he is 31 years old. It was a great loss to his body to play in the playoffs before." Jeff Van Gundy said.

The Cavaliers sent the baseline ball, Irving got the ball, and distributed it to Love, who was asking for the ball in the low post.

Love hit Amir Johnson in the low post, but it was difficult for him to squeeze in. Not only did he not squeeze in, but he lost his center of gravity.

Valanciunas received the rebound and handed it to Jeremy Lin to advance.

"Kevin can't even beat Amir in the low post now!" Mike Breen said helplessly.

"Since Kevin lost weight, the threat of post-ups has been much smaller. He is not a master of post-ups, and his efficiency is not high. He is strong in rebounding and is indeed at the top of the league. On the offensive end, he can shoot up to the 3-point line Outside," Jeff Van Gundy said.

Ying Xiong received the ball from outside the 3-point line on the right wing, facing Shumpert's defense, and Valanciunas picked and rolled.

Shumpert opted to squeeze through the screen instead of letting Mozgov switch on Yingxiong.

Ying Xiong moved sideways to the back of Valanciunas and made a 3-point shot - Zhong Zhong Zhong!

4:9, the Raptors lead by 5 points!The Cavaliers request a timeout!
"Iman chose to squeeze through the screen, but he still gave Ying a chance to get out of the phone!" Mike Breen said.

"It's really difficult to defend an outside player who can shoot and pass, once the opponent picks and rolls. You said that no matter what you do, you will let the opponent get a chance." Jeff Van Gundy said helplessly.
