Chapter 253 Hurry Up, Hurry Up, Hurry Up

May 5, Cleveland, Quicken Loans Center
"Others pull away, LeBron James one-on-one"

"Young was lied to. LeBron James didn't choose to break through this time, but chose to shoot."

"22 points, LeBron James once again regained the highest score in the half."

"Halftime is over..."

"The Cleveland Cavaliers took a halftime lead for the first time in the series." The camera lens for the broadcast was aimed at the central screen of the Quicken Loans Center at this moment...

Philadelphia 76ers 52:55 Cleveland Cavaliers

"My fault. I am responsible for not defending the last attack. I should judge again." As soon as he returned to the locker room, Yang first admitted that he did not think twice about the last attack.

"You did a good job. Even if you do it one more time, you can't avoid this situation from happening now." The last attack was not because the defense was not in place, but because the offensive side was too flexible.

Monty Williams understood these principles, so he immediately came forward to make a rescue.

"It's okay. Although LeBron James scored 22 points, he also had four turnovers and two blocks in the first half, and his shooting percentage was just over 50%." Embiid chose to use another perspective to understand LeBron James' performance in the first half.

"You guys played very well in the first half and did a great job, so we didn't lose 68 points in the half like the last game." At the same time in the last game, the Philadelphia 76ers allowed the Cleveland Cavaliers to score 68 points.

"Jo committed one, Josh, and Jason committed two, so we started the second half..." Monty Williams took the statistic board handed over by the assistant coach, and then expressed his thoughts.

The 15-minute half-time break came to an end soon.

"It's more than 15 minutes." The NBA formulated a rule last summer that the intermission is only 15 minutes, and no more than 1 minute.

"Eric, it's been 15 minutes, and the other side hasn't come out yet." Monty Williams looked at his watch to confirm that the 15-minute break was over.

"di"

Eric Lewis, who lowered his head and raised his head, whistled a technical foul on the Cavaliers' team.

"Come on." Young, who took the free throw for a technical foul on the field, chose to hand the ball to Tatum
The reason is also very simple

Because... Tatum is now scoring 9 points, and he is the fourth player in the game who is likely to score in double figures besides LeBron James, Embiid, and Young who have already reached double figures.

唰

Tatum did not relent and successfully entered the ranks of scoring in double figures in this field.

53:55
"Scoring in double figures, he can perform like this in this kind of game in the first grade. He is really a promising young man." LeBron James suddenly praised Tatum's performance.

"You also have a lottery pick this year and you can harvest a good rookie." There seems to be no problem with Yang's words.

In fact, the problem is very big, because the Philadelphia 76ers hold two lottery picks this year

One is the first-round pick of the Suns with the last record this year (the No. [-] pick protection)
One is the unprotected first-round pick of the Lakers who finally failed after consecutive top three protections.

As for the record of the second signing of the Lakers? ? ?
A little bit better than the Nets in the hands of the Cavaliers:

8th to last after 9th to last

"Recovery" When LeBron James once again carried Young's defense into the inside, even Tatum, who was farthest away, recovered.

Divide the ball
Faced with a restricted area already packed with seven people, LeBron James chose to pass the ball outside the three-point line
spread
Unlike the opposing Cleveland Cavaliers, the Philadelphia 76ers have defensive discipline to the point where they can go from the three-point line to the paint and from the paint to the paint.
"clang"

Large voids become small voids
George Hill, like the first half, missed without any suspense.

Stuck Love trying to get an offensive rebound

take the backboard
Embiid and Brogdon have a clear division of labor, and quickly completed the transition from defense to offense.

"Tick." JR Smith, who had no foul on him, hugged Brogdon who wanted to start a fast break.

Using the offensive rebounds to control the rhythm and making reasonable use of the first four fouls, the way the Cavaliers pinch and switch offenses remains the same as in previous years.

"I'm going to hurry up, accumulating his fouls won't help." In the noisy Quicken Loans Center, Young also heard Brogdon muttering under his breath.

Flank
In the face of Brogdon and Embiid's pick-and-roll, the Cavaliers' routine is still the same for thousands of years to pinch the ball holder.

"There was no mistake, and the ball was accurately given to Embiid in the short pick-and-roll." Brogdon passed to Embiid in the pinch.

After two years of the Cavaliers' two-year pick-and-roll, the percentage of Brogdon's turnovers in flanking has dropped significantly compared to last year.

change direction, step forward, start

After dodging Tristan Thompson's swipe, Embiid rushed towards Love who rushed to protect the frame.

"di"

"No. 0 foul, third foul" For Love, whether it is Embiid with 19 points in the first half, or Young with 14 points, there is no foul that loves too much.
Once you squeeze him down, it will be bad.

"shush"

"shush"

"shush"

When Embiid got to the free throw line, the boos were louder than before because it was an extra free throw

56:55
Embiid made free throws steadily, and even the possibility of missing did not happen
"fast"

"boom"

The 76ers uncharacteristically did not actively retreat, but chose to lead the defense

"boom"

In the face of entangled physical contact, the referee did not say anything

Try to get rid of
LeBron James delivers more physical contact than playoff mode
"bang"

"di"

The sound of the collision and the referee's whistle sounded at the same time.

"Offensive foul on the 23rd, the Philadelphia 76ers have the ball." The referee clearly saw LeBron James' elbow.

{Why? ? ? }LeBron James' classic hand-swinging can't stop the elbow swing from happening.

"Looking at the video, he was hit above the chest."

Monty Williams starts to put pressure on Eric Lewis on the sidelines

"I'll discuss it with them. I can't decide on my own."

…………

…………

nothing happened
The referee maintained the previous offensive foul after watching the video.

"Fist Flax"

When the Fist Flax tactic was seen through, the 76ers immediately threw away the tactic completely and switched to a singles scoring mode.

"Yang."

behind the dribble
change left hand

In this game, the right hand is used a bit too much, and the left hand needs to be adjusted.

speed up, change direction quickly

Young, who had just delivered the ball to his left hand, pulled it back again

crotch change direction
JR Smith, who barely kept up, suffered another change of direction

step up

close the door
LeBron James, who was in position early, wanted to force the door with his shoulder.

"Hurry up, hurry up, and hurry up." Young squeezed into the basket as he wiped the closed door.

"OK" and the angle of putting the basket with his left hand, which made him shout OK involuntarily.

"Di" the belated foul whistle finally rang.

Boom, boom, boom, boom
