Chapter 786 Great Team Leader

Coach Tyronn Lue requested a timeout!
"Mark, the lineup of LeBron + 4 pitchers seems to be restrained!" Mike Breen said with a smile.

"Restraint is out of the question. This lineup is undefensible at any time. You have to make a choice. But the shortcoming of this lineup is also obvious, which is defense. Whether it is an outside shooter or Channing at the 5th position who stretches the space , are not good at defense. So this lineup comes out to be offensive, but once you encounter a lineup that can both attack and defend, it is easy to form a situation where each other is blown up. At this time, it depends on the success rate. Obviously, because Toronto's set The lineup is better defensively and responsive, and their success rate is better!" Mark Jackson explained.

Back from the timeout, the two giants, Irving and Love, also came back. The starters of both sides returned to their positions one after another, and the game continued.

"Lucas Nogueira, a young player, played well!" Mike Breen praised.

"It's really not bad. He dares to play. The team arranged for him to do a relatively simple and pure job. He has done a good job." Mark Jackson nodded in agreement.

"Why doesn't Toronto go straight to +4 like Cleveland does?" asked Mike Breen.

"Since Toronto was eliminated by the Miami Heat of the Big Three in the second round of the playoffs, they don't need a complete 'no center lineup'. The reason is very simple, because of the existence of LeBron. LeBron's epic breakthrough Ability, if you let Patrick or Louis play the 2th position, you will be called a fool. Rather than not defending for space, it is more in the interests of the team to choose the latter. So they met with LeBron's team afterwards , There is at least one defensive inside presence on the field." Mark Jackson explained.

"Then why do you think LeBron's team needs to be able to shoot inside?" Mike Breen continued to ask.

"That's to maximize LeBron's breakthrough and passing creativity. Also, he is different from Ying. Compared with Ying, he is more picky about the team's lineup configuration, because of Ying's shooting ability and off-ball ability. Much better than him," Mark Jackson said.

Irving dribbles over and TT comes up to cover him.

Irving used the screen to break through, butterflies pierced his crotch, and Crossover came in handy. Watching him handle the ball is a kind of enjoyment.He was flanked at the basket and distributed to James on the outside.

James served as the setter and assigned it to Love in the bottom corner.

Love's bottom corner 3-point cannon-accurate hit!
The point difference was narrowed to single digits - 8 points!
Jeremy Lin dribbled the ball and lobbed it to Ying Xiong, who was on the left wing at 45 degrees.

Ying Xiong faced JR Smith with his back and sat in with the ball.

JR couldn't stand him, but he was tough and wouldn't budge.

Ying Xiong leaned on him, turned around and swayed his shoulders in a fake move, then turned around and made a jump shot—hit it steadily!
The point difference returned to 10 points again!
"JR should be played like this, the advantage is obvious!" Mike Breen said.

"Playing players of the same size or smaller than him, Ying's post is extremely stable. His post is not as fancy as some players, but it is practical, and because of his passing vision and ability to hold the ball , it is difficult for the opponent to double-team." Mark Jackson said.

For the Cavaliers, Love made a 3-pointer—hit again!
The Raptors have requested a timeout!

The Quicken Loans Center arena is completely boiling...

"Kevin's touch exploded!" Mike Breen said.

"The reason why Devin was suspended, I think it was because Patrick was not in place!" Mark Jackson said.

"The 3-pointer is really quick to chase points. With a gap of 7 points, two 2-pointers can almost catch up." Mike Breen

"Yeah, in this era, an advantage of 10 points is really not safe." Mark Jackson said.

Back from the timeout, Lowry replaced Jeremy Lin, and DeRozan replaced Terrence Ross.

Lowry slowly dribbled the ball, broke through after holding the pick-and-roll at the top of the arc, and went to the basket to face Love for a layup!
"Kyle is so brave!" Mike Brin sighed with a smile.

"Cleveland's outside defense is covered, and the inside has no frame protection. LeBron was still a step behind the ball just now!" Mark Jackson said.

Love wants to continue shooting with 3 points, but the opponent's Patterson sticks to him.He passed the ball back to Irving at the top of the arc, and then opened up space for the little singles prince.

Irving's weak side beat Lowry one-on-one, using his skillful ball control to try to get rid of it, but the opponent's footsteps followed closely.In the end, he still took advantage of his height, pulled on the opponent's head, and scored 2 points with a jump!
"Kerry's strength and speed on the defensive end are good, and his concentration is fine, but his 6-foot height is always a natural disadvantage in defending the opponent's shots. In this regard, even Chris can't avoid it." Mark Jackson lamented road.

Lowry dribbled the ball and gave it to Ying Xiong.

Ying Xiong backed up and took JR, James came to help defend, and he calmly gave the ball to DeRozan.

DeRozan was left empty, he hesitated, but remembering Ying Xiong's words, he still held back from passing the ball, persisted in fighting the demons, gritted his teeth, and threw the ball-but no!
But Ying Xiongfei took the rebound from Love's head!
Ying Xiong gave the ball to DeRozan again, and the latter caught the ball without hesitation, and made a steady shot-hit!
"Demar finally hit!" Mike Breen let out a long breath.

"You seem to feel it is not easy!" Mark Jackson laughed.

"He beat himself, I'm so happy for him!" Mike Breen laughed.

"The most important thing to praise about this ball is Ying. He still believed in his teammates when they had psychological barriers, and passed the ball to teammates in better positions. He still tried his best to grab offensive rebounds when his teammates missed shots, and gave his teammates the second time. Opportunity. Such a team boss, he has really done a good job in setting an example on the court!" Mark Jackson praised.

Irving singles Lowry again, and it is still difficult to hit!

"Kerry is able to make the impossible seem possible!" Mike Breen said.

"This is talent! It's not for nothing that Kerry was selected as the No. [-] pick!" Mark Jackson said.

Lowry dribbled the ball and continued to distribute it to Ying Xiong in the elbow area.

Ying Xiong faced JR with his back and sat in with the ball.

James suddenly came over to help defend. Ying Xiong seemed to have eyes in the back of his head. He raised his hand and gave the ball to DeRozan who was outside the 3-point line. The latter adjusted after receiving the ball and made a 3-point shot-continue ah!
"Bang -- DeMar hit the 3!" Mike Breen explained enthusiastically.

"The hard work finally paid off! Ying's trust has allowed DeMar to regain his confidence and touch!" Mark Jackson sighed.
