Chapter 854 The Eastern Conference G1 against each other
"Toronto shot blockers! Bang—" Mike Breen laughed.

"So, it doesn't mean that without a lineup of big centers, you don't have the ability to protect the frame!" Jeff Van Gundy said.

"But having said that, Kevin and Tristan's ability to attack the frame is really average. It feels like they were blocked by the opponent before they fully exerted their strength!" Mike Breen said.

"Kevin is a white player, his physical fitness is there, hitting the basket is not his specialty. And Tristan, the offensive rebound is really good, but the handwork at the basket is really rough!" Jeff Van Gundy explained road.

Irving dribbles over and TT puts up the screen.

The Raptors flanked Irving, and the latter did not force himself to attack, distributing the ball to TT at the top of the arc.

TT couldn't handle the ball at this position, so he continued to find someone, and the opponent's rotation was in place immediately.

"Carrie and Tristan are targeted by Toronto!" Mike Breen laughed.

"It is true that Kyrie is slow to play the ball and Tristan has no long-range shots and support." Jeff Van Gundy explained.

Tristan barely passes the ball to James.

James faced the opponent, because there was not much time left in the attack, he took a step-back jumper after a tentative step-no!
DeRozan accepted the rebound and handed it to Jeremy Lin to advance.

Jeremy Lin made a pick-and-roll with Ibaka at the top of the arc, and the Cavaliers chose to delay.He walked in with the ball, especially DeRozan from the outside.

DeRozan received the ball to face James and made a direct breakthrough. At this time, the basket was empty!
DeRozan made a layup under the basket-chased out of bounds by James behind him!

The fans at the scene sighed!
"DeMar's shot was very decisive, but it was LeBron who let him go!" Mike Breen laughed.

"The two teams have not scored at the beginning, and they gave each other big caps. The level of confrontation in this game is not low!" Jeff Van Gundy said.

The Raptors served from the bottom line, and the Cavaliers defended very tightly.

DeRozan directly gave the ball to Ying Xiong who was outside the 3-point line at the top of the arc.

Ying Xiong didn't attack immediately after receiving the ball, he slowed down.Many of the home team fans at the scene began to shout "MVP".

Ying Xiong started to start, and Ibaka came up to cover.

The Cavaliers flanked Ying Xiong, who also didn't get an open chance.

"Online pressure, partial 3-2, Cleveland's corresponding emphasis is not ordinary!" Mike Breen laughed.

"That's for sure. In the past three years, they have suffered too much from him, so they have to pay more attention!" Jeff Van Gundy laughed.

Ibaka froze for a moment, and gave the ball to DeRozan who was outside the 3-point line in the left corner.

At this time, DeRozan was emptied, but he was not good at 3-pointers, he still hesitated, and walked in with the ball.With such a hesitation and a dribble, the opponent's rotation is also in place.

The offense changed from an open position to a strong attack. DeRozan forced James to cause a dead ball, and Jeremy Lin was intercepted by Irving from the outside.

Irving counterattacked with the ball and made a one-stop layup!

2:0, the Cavaliers scored first!

"Cleveland is determined to release DeMar!" Mike Breen laughed.

"Pressing on the line will inevitably lead to a relatively empty defense on the wings or inside. This is the defensive choice of the Cavaliers. For them, Ying is obviously more threatening than DeMar. Let Ying play alone than DeMar's open position 3 Point threat is bigger," Jeff Van Gundy explained.

"DeMarre is an All-Star wing after all, to be let out to such an extent by the opponent..." Mike Breen sighed.

"Yeah, but this is the playoffs. Any weakness you have will be targeted by the opponent, pulled out and beaten to death." Jeff Van Gundy said.

Jeremy Lin slowly dribbled the ball over. This time, it was Patrick Patterson who came up to pick and roll.

The reason why Patterson was allowed to cover instead of Ibaka is also very simple: because Love is defending Patterson.

Love's pick-and-roll defense is a big colander. The whole league knows this. In the playoffs, the two armies are playing against each other. If you have a big colander, I won't target it. Am I stupid?

The Cavaliers did not let Love delay like TT did, but directly double-teamed Jeremy Lin with Irving.

"Jeremy got the same treatment as Ying!" exclaimed Mike Breen.

Patterson received the ball and faced the defense, hesitated for a moment, and then divided the left wing DeRozan has lost the open opportunity.The opponent's rotation is still very fast, and the arrival rate is not bad.

"Twice against Jeremy's pick-and-roll, Cleveland used two different methods!" Mike Breen laughed.

"That's right, because the pick-and-roll defense inside the team is different. The first time it was Tristan, and the second time it was Kevin. If Kevin went to delay, he couldn't get it back at all, so he was simply allowed to participate in the pincer attack. This loophole It’s also smaller. Other words are to continue to short DeMar’s 3 points or even increase the [-] points, and strengthen the rotation. In order to protect Kevin, Cleveland really took great pains!” Jeff Van Gundy said with a smile.

DeRozan gave the ball to Yingxiong on the right wing.

Yingxiong faced JR, Crossover changed direction and went to the right, and was flanked by the opponent at the bottom line.He quickly throws the ball to Ibaka in the front high post, and the latter takes a mid-range shot-no!
James accepted the rebound and counterattacked with the ball himself, causing Patterson's back-to-defense foul!
"Obviously Cleveland will flank him when the top of the arc should be screened and when he breaks inside, allowing DeMar and Serge to get some long-range shooting opportunities. It seems that the strategy is very successful so far. Toronto has not scored yet!" Jeff Van Gundy explained.

"Coach Tyronn Lue has made a lot of preparations for this game!" Mike Breen laughed.

"Tyron may not sleep for several nights, thinking about how to deal with Toronto. Mike, you know, he and Ying were teammates!" Jeff Van Gundy said.

"I know this, it seems to be in Milwaukee! It should be a rookie at that time, and Tyronn has also reached the late stage of his career. Sigh, time flies, who knows that the depressed Asian The rookie will become the top player in the league, and it is hard to predict that the veteran point guard who wandered around will become the coach of the championship team. It is really unpredictable!" Mike Breen sighed.

The Cavaliers attack.

James holds the ball on the left wing, faces the opponent, and chooses to pick and roll with Love.

The Raptors did not flank James, and Ying Xiong and Patterson quickly switched defenses.

Love went down, saw the opponent change defense, and immediately turned his back to ask for the ball.

James lobs the ball to Love, allowing the latter to overwhelm Yingxiong in the low post.

Although Love often acts as a turret on the offensive end of the Cavaliers, deep down in his heart he is eager to get a lot of ball possessions in the low post and then show his strength.At this moment, when encountering a misplaced opportunity, he is naturally unwilling to let it go easily.

"Kevin has to be strong!" Mike Breen laughed.

"Can he...can he succeed?" Jeff Van Gundy smiled meaningfully.
