Chapter 135 Maple Leaf

"Embiid grabbed the offensive rebound on Love's head. He didn't choose to make a dunk, but he was strong under Love's defense"

"Andone"

"Di" Embiid shouted, apparently even the referee couldn't ignore it
"The referee wanted to whistle, and fouled Love, ohhhhhh, Andone" Kenny Smith was enthusiastically explaining Embiid and Love and Embiid
"..." Facing his talent being suppressed, Love didn't even try to defend himself to the referee.

"Kenny, you are too exaggerated. This goal is not as passionate as you describe." Dismantling is necessary, and it is impossible not to dismantle.

"The Cavaliers' defense is in trouble. They don't have a heavy center. Although the mobile center is defensive enough, the offense almost devours the space that LeBron and Irving can use. And Love plays the center. Although the offense can open the basket, but the defense,,,, even Embiid and Brogdon can eat all the scum left of Love without Young." As a historical center, O'Neal easily found his old teammate's team in a dilemma.

"In the pick-and-roll, pinching the ball-handler or pinching the runner can't solve the problem. When Embiid is in the low post, Yang is standing in the corner on the other side. The Cavaliers can't adjust their defensive strength. The Cavaliers have only two choices now. One, believe that their offense can kill the 76ers." Even Kenny Smith, who was born as a guard, can clearly see the current situation.

"If you can fight the offense, the Cavaliers would not have lost in the Eastern Conference semifinals a few months ago." The revenge of the sabotage will be late, but it will never be absent.

"Then choose to believe in your own cards. Even if you will lose in the end."

Tyronn Lue, who was on the sidelines, couldn't hear what Kenny Smith said, but if he saw the replay, he would definitely agree with it.

because he very much agrees

The cards you can play, even if you lose, you must keep playing, and don't have any idea of ​​​​believing in Qibing.

Tyronn Lue believes in Love, believes in Love's three points

Then Yang naturally believed in the abilities of Brogdon and Embiid, and began to cut his shot rights to two people
corner position

Even if the Cavaliers are now 16 to 20 points behind, Young also needs to save his physical fitness for the third and fourth quarters

Since it is necessary to save energy, "watching a play" at the bottom corner is naturally the best option.

45:67
With Brogdon hitting a three-pointer at the buzzer with 1.3 seconds left, the Philadelphia 76ers returned to the locker room with a 22-point lead
扬：11分4篮板3助攻1抢断1盖帽
Embiid: 12 points, 6 rebounds, 2 blocks
Brogdon: 13 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 steal
It is different from the 76ers whose offense is smooth sailing.What happened to the Cleveland Cavaliers can't be described as bad

JR Smith 6 for 1
Shumpert 6 out of 1
Love 11 4
Tristan Thompson 0 points, 3 rebounds, 3 turnovers
Except for LeBron James and Irving, the main rotation only contributed 14 points to them. If Mo Williams contributed two three-pointers in the second half of the second quarter, the Cavaliers would not be able to score 40 points.

Cavaliers' main players play poorly, stars are mixed
Irving lost his offensive rhythm under Richardson's candy-style defense. Coupled with the fact that Covington in the fourth position had nothing to do, he made a pincer attack last time, which completely made Owen lose the opportunity to increase production.
7 of 2 shots, 8 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists. Irving's halftime statistics are good enough in normal games, but if he wants to beat the 76ers, these statistics
not enough
Irving didn't play well. If it was a few months ago, it would have been a complete defeat for the Cavaliers.

But this game is different
骑士的另外一名核心勒布朗詹姆斯一改上赛季对76人不到50%命中率的拉跨表现，8投5中，半场拿下了14分4篮板2助攻1抢断的全能数据。

…………

…………

Owen, Shumpert, JR Smith, James, Love
The Cavaliers started the second half with the lineup they used at the end of the second quarter.

Brogdon, Richardson, Young, Covington, Siakam.

Because Embiid used more than 12 minutes in the first two quarters, Embiid sat on the bench in compliance with the time limit at the beginning of the second half.

Second-half first down belongs to Cavaliers because of jump ball loss

"Are you surprised by the defense?" The full mobile defensive lineup has been built, allowing Young to fully have the just-needed defense of LeBron from the frontcourt.

"Not surprised" Since he didn't hold the ball for himself, LeBron didn't force the ball, but gave the ball to the other of the dual ball holders.

Irving
"Cover?" Although he caught Owen's call for tactics, Yang didn't know what he wanted to do?
Give cover to cover and then cover to Owen√

Help James get rid of the strongest defensive point√

Young guessed what the Cavaliers were thinking as Love and James ran to the baseline one after the other and huddled together:

Use players who are space threats to move defenders.

"No change"

Yang, who had figured everything out, immediately signaled to Siakam that he didn't need to switch defenses, even if he missed the opportunity for Love.

"The substitution failed, and the Cavaliers' plan went bankrupt, but they got an open three-pointer!!!" Because of LeBron's generous size, Siakam's pursuit of Love will obviously give the opponent a short open space.

"Irving passed the ball, and Love's shot didn't have any interference factors."

"Dang!!!!" Love's iron strike didn't make Tyronn Lue's face ugly, but there was a person on the sidelines whose face had already entered the mode before the storm.

"David, tell the entire league that we are selling Love, and we want a main-level striker." Irving can't be sold. LeBron just renewed his contract for two years in the summer, so the only target left to move is Love.

"Hmm," Mr. David's answer was very perfunctory.

Why so perfunctory?
Because he knows that if he sells Love, he can only switch to a striker at the level of Crowder, and Love's contract of more than 2000 million yuan is not at all suitable for this level of 3D price.

conclusion is selling
Not too possible
Unless there is someone like the Knicks taking advantage of it

"Travis, do you have anything to do with me?" When the third quarter of the game between the Philadelphia 76ers and the Cleveland Cavaliers was in full swing, the general manager of the 76ers called a basketball affairs president...

after an hour………………

"Then we'll have a detailed discussion when you visit. I think it's too early to talk about bargaining chips..." Schlenk's first effort was over,

For the failure, Schlenk also understands very well. After all, the opponent has a quasi-super giant, and it is the opponent's decision not to sell it, not himself.

"Turn on the TV for me." After chatting with that guy for 10 minutes, Travis Schlenk didn't even have time to watch the game in time.

"Has the fourth quarter started?"

"8:39 seconds, 80:106"

"25 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists? What wonderful performance did I miss?" Seeing the data displayed by TNT, Travis Schlenk was obviously taken aback.

　I was still very broken at home all the time, and I couldn't do what I wanted to code.After all, I'm so bored, I don't want to do anything.
