Chapter 317 Rampage James

22+8+4 looks pretty good, but it's not enough for a playoff star, especially a single-core leader like James.

After all, one of the dual-core stars of the Philadelphia team is 28+6+3 and the other is 30+9+3. If you just pick one out, it is no worse than James.

Not to mention the role player Belinelli who hit 7 three-pointers and scored 21 points.

The leading star is no match for the star on the opposite side, and there are no role players left who have been blown up. What can the Cavaliers do to compete with Philadelphia?
Looking at the statistics table after the game, James felt his head was getting bigger. He shot 27.27% from the field and 14.29% from the three-point field. This is probably the worst game James played in his career. Overwhelmed by Channing?How to lead the team to beat Philadelphia?How to rush out of the East to complete the fateful matchup of 23VS24?
James is drunk, isn't Cleveland really the land of dragons?
The Philadelphia fans were overjoyed, and the Chinese fans were even happier. In the first year of the combination of Yao Ming and Channing, they played such a terrifying power, and easily cut the Cavaliers' two victories. Dare to think.

Take two more victories, eliminate the Cavaliers, reach the finals, and join Kobe?

Chinese fans never dare to have such a dream, and some fans have even posted online in advance to save their character:

"The Cavaliers are sure to win. They only used [-]% of their strength in the first two games, and they have already touched the ceiling of Philadelphia's strength!"

"The Cavaliers advanced 4-2! Philly's goal for the season has been accomplished!"

On the one hand, Chinese fans are frantically posting about the Cavaliers' character, and on the other hand, the American media are overwhelmingly optimistic about Philadelphia and touting Channing. The polarization of the Chinese and American fan groups is obvious again.

James couldn't sleep again on the night of the game, and flipped through the news desperately. Sure enough, he couldn't sleep all night.

Most of the media praised the Philadelphia 76ers, and the rest praised Channing.

Only a small part of the media helped James speak, thinking that the Cavaliers' lineup is indeed not as good as Philadelphia, and James is difficult to support independently, but they dare not interpret James' hip-stretching shooting percentage in the second game, so they can only avoid talking about it.

Everyone knows that shooting is James' flaw. Without improving this point, James will not be able to rely on his own strength to win the championship. Just like Tim Duncan's famous quote, Channing modified him:
"The future is James's, but only if James develops his shot."

"Or you can hold a group!"

After winning two games in a row, the morale of the Philadelphia team has been boosted. They have been underestimated before. The players are more confident.

After James lost sleep all night, he appeared in the training hall with dark circles under his eyes early the next morning, scaring the Cavaliers.

The psychological pressure on James is really great. He is different from Channing. Channing is only a rookie star in the second year of his career. Regardless of the final result of this season, Channing will be praised by fans and experts. The future is promising, and he has even steadily surpassed Durant, becoming a representative of the new generation after the golden generation in 03 and the generation of Paul Howard in 04.

But James is different. He has joined the league for the 6th season, and it is time for results. At this time, he can only win, not lose. Once he is eliminated again this year, James wants to challenge Michael Jordan for No.1 in basketball history. It's even harder.

"I'm LeBron James, the proud son of heaven, the little emperor of the entire league, and the leader of the 03 golden generation. Why is it so difficult for me! Huh!"

James locked himself in the room. He wanted to win, but he was afraid of losing, let alone imagine how he would be judged after losing.

The NBA playoffs are very cruel. As long as a player does not play well in a series, it is useless to perform well in the regular season. The Cavaliers have not been eliminated, and James has been criticized by many experts and wants to cry.

What frustrates James the most is that some people say that he is a "discarded teammate". The reason is that Ben Wallace's data has dropped sharply since he arrived in the Cavaliers.

Teammates have high salaries and low abilities, and let him take the blame, is there any reason?
James really wanted to pinch the neck of the reporter who wrote this article and say to him: "SB, did I kill Ben Wallace? It's none of my business if he gets injured! It's none of my business if he doesn't win the vote Ah! I'm the one being double-teamed, and it's none of my business if he can't vote for the empty spot!"

Under high pressure, James entered a state of madness.

In the third game, James was expressionless when he played, and even Mike Brown didn't dare to communicate with him, for fear that he would violently hurt others.

At the beginning of the game, James quickly entered the state.

He no longer protects the backcourt rebounds and launches a counterattack. Mo Williams and Delonte West counterattacked poorly in the first two games. This time James began to actively play fast breaks under the coach's arrangement.

In the fast break, Yao Ming can't keep up. It is difficult for Philadelphia to effectively double-team James. It can only rely on Channing's personal ability to go one-on-one. This is the most suitable way for James to score, just like Guo Ailun in the CBA , When the positional battle is uncertain, defensive counterattack is the best way.

Pushing Channing, James completed a tank-like fast break layup.

This is James. If it were someone else, it would be impossible to make progress against Channing, and he would have been overthrown by the big hat long ago.

The Philadelphia team felt bad at the beginning, James seized the opportunity to counterattack consecutively, and the Cavaliers rarely took the lead in the first half of the first quarter.

Coach Cheeks called a timeout, and unified his thinking with the players. The offensive end should be more stable, and the idea of ​​​​killing the Cavaliers should not be killed in one breath. The way the Philadelphia players dealt with many offenses in the beginning is too simple. Yes, the Cavaliers seized the opportunity.

After the timeout ended, the Philadelphia team scored more balls into the interior. The outside shots could be inaccurate, but Dayao's inside attack was very sure.

Big Z was still unable to resist Yao Ming, and once again became the breakthrough point of the Philadelphia team.

Dayao's offense was successful in a row, slowly chasing points for the Philadelphia team, without rebounds to counterattack, the Cavaliers fell into a positional battle, and James was no longer so scary.

Channing played his role on the defensive end. Relying on his strong physical fitness, Channing defended James and failed to make three consecutive offenses, making up for the problem of being unable to defend James' fast break at the beginning.

There was no fast break opportunity, James was locked up by Channing in the positional battle, and the fantastic start of the Cavaliers was only a flash in the pan. At the end of the first quarter, the Philadelphia team had already overtaken the score and regained the initiative.

"In the third game, James obviously came prepared, but Philadelphia was always superior and quickly overwhelmed the Cavaliers' attack."
