Come on, it’s just as Liu Xiu guessed!

Mike Brown just wants to use Liu Xiu to stimulate James' potential.

The Cavaliers did not expect to develop James into a defensive master at the beginning, so they introduced Larry Hughes, a defensive leader.

Judging from James' defensive performance in the first four years of his career, the Cavaliers management believes that James can improve his defense to the point where it is not a hindrance, so it has been collecting players with excellent defense in various positions.

But I didn't expect that James' defensive talent is so good. After actively developing it for a summer, he has made such obvious progress.

The Cavaliers decisively adjusted their established plan from building a '4-on-1' defense to building a defensive system around James.

Thanks to the willingness of the Cavaliers owner to spend money, Larry Hughes, the former top breakout star, was used as an unstable defensive pitcher, easily building a top-five defense in the league.

As long as James' defense can reach the best defense level, Mike Brown is confident that he can build the strongest defense in the league.

To stimulate James' defensive potential, Mike Brown chose to let James guard the opponent's strongest perimeter scorer.

James' defense has improved a lot this year, and then... he was blown away by all kinds of stars.

Whoever hits him breaks out.

The Trail Blazers' offense collapsed at the beginning of the second quarter, but it didn't collapse completely. The Trail Blazers made 6 of 22 shots in the second quarter, and Liu Xiu scored 11 points on 4 of 10 shots. In the third quarter, the Trail Blazers all shot

The team made 7 of 17 shots, and Liu Xiu scored 12 points on 5 of 10 shots.

However, their front man, KING James, frowned.

Liu Xiu made 5 of 12 shots, including 1 of 1 three-pointers, plus 4 of 4 free throws, 15 points and 3 assists in a single quarter!

If we continue to strengthen the defense, we will no longer be able to protect the two three-point shooters Korver and Blake on the wings. There will also be more opportunities for Millsap's cuts or McDyess's receiving shots.

The three-point champion, the butcher, the parallel import No. 1 pick, the three All-Stars couldn't beat them, and they were actually suppressed by the Cavaliers!

Unless absolutely necessary, I would not take precautions like that.

If you want to become a defensive master, you have to be thick-skinned!

Those already famous defensive masters, Kobe, Kidd, Bowen, and Raja Bell, have all been beaten countless times because they defend the opponent's strongest singles player in almost every game.

Liu Xiu's aggressive attack in the first quarter prevented the Cavaliers from reacting.

The Trail Blazers couldn't guard James without Kwame Brown, so they chose to shrink, but the Cavaliers performed poorly in outside shooting. James made 4 of 9 shots and scored 11 points. His teammates as a team made 3 of 10 shots and only scored 11 points.

11 points.

In the first quarter, Liu Xiuli made sudden outside shots and took crazy shots. When Big Z was on the court, if Big Z could move into place, Liu Xiu would make a sudden stop on the outside and shoot. If he judged that Big Z couldn't move into place, he would rush inside and make a European step or a sports car floater.

Making 14 of 32 shots, Liu Xiu scored 38 points after three quarters!

With the two leading scorers Ray Allen and Randolph unable to compete, the Cavaliers' defense against Liu Xiu has gone to the extreme, and it has indeed exerted a great restriction, but it still cannot completely restrict him!

Leading by 7 points in the first quarter, the Cavaliers were not discouraged. In the second quarter, the Cavaliers' hand-to-hand defense finally had an effect.

Liu Xiu doesn't feel sorry for Larry Hughes either.

For the Trail Blazers, Liu Xiu really organized the team's offense. Hill had 2 points and 2 rebounds; Korver made 2 of 4 shots, one of which was a three-pointer, and scored 5 points;

To 5 points; McDyess scored 2 points and 1 block...

The three starters can't play. Korver is the wing support point, averaging 17 minutes and 4-5 shots per game; Hill is also the support point, plus a high post support point; LaFrentz only eats in the inside; Millsap occasionally plays

A pick-and-roll, and most of the time rushing...

Big Z played for 7 minutes and was replaced, so he suddenly burst out...

29 to 22, the Trail Blazers led the Cavaliers by 7 points in the first quarter!

…

In Mike Brown's view, this is the only way to become a defensive master.

The Trail Blazers shot only 7 of 17 from the field in the third quarter, which was not much better than in the second quarter. It seemed that their shooting percentage had improved, but in fact they made more mistakes and had fewer offensive rebounds.

James made 4 of 9 shots, plus 3 of 4 free throws. He scored 11 points, 1 rebound and 2 assists in a single quarter. He felt that he had tried his best.

In this quarter, the Trail Blazers only made 6 of 22 shots, plus 7 of 8 free throws, and only scored 19 points!

The Cavaliers relied on James' 7 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists to score 24 points in a single quarter, narrowing the point difference to two points!

As a result, after the first quarter, he looked at the data of the guy on the opposite side and contributed a wave of healing value...

The Cavaliers players were extremely excited. Most of them didn't have much confidence in defeating the Trail Blazers, but with three of the four starters missing, they were very confident. They were beaten by Liu Xiu in the first quarter.

They did not despair, but maintained sufficient confidence.

After returning from the intermission, James continued his efforts, scoring 9 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists in a single quarter, leading the Cavaliers to 22 points. The defensive end continued to be strong, preventing the Trail Blazers from scoring only 20 points.

If the warden doesn't vote for him, who will?

But compared to the top three defenses in the conference, the Cavaliers' goal was to be the strongest and win the championship, so they chose to sacrifice part of their defense, which was to sacrifice Larry Hughes.

However, Liu Xiu is very different from other stars...

He really kept betting and kept betting!

If abilities are not used, they will degrade. Just like Tracy McGrady, he was a pure scorer next to Kidd and didn't have to worry about anything. Now when he goes to the Knicks, his peak age is not as versatile as when he was 21 or 2 years old.

James is still unable to play the role of Larry Hughes. If the Cavaliers continue to use Larry Hughes to defend the arc this year and James takes over, the Cavaliers may be able to play one of the top three defenses in the league.

The fans at the scene were upset and anxious, and the atmosphere at the Devil's home court became manic.

After three quarters, with James' 27 points, 6 rebounds, 7 assists, 1 steal and 1 block, the Cavaliers tied the Trail Blazers 68-68!

There was news a while ago that Larry Hughes was recognized by fans when he went fishing. They asked him if he regretted joining the Cavaliers and ruining himself. Larry Hughes did not answer. The fans thought he was angry...

As a result, when Larry Hughes left, he directly threw the keys to a sports car worth hundreds of thousands of dollars to this fan, leaving behind a sentence——

"I'm very sad. Now I don't feel reluctant to throw away hundreds of thousands."

James suppressed his inner uneasiness. They had taken the advantage for two consecutive rounds. The 7-point loss in the first quarter had been tied. The next step was to reap the victory...

After the inter-section break, James completed his psychological adjustment and led his teammates on the court to play the crucial final quarter.

Then, at the beginning of the fourth quarter, James and his teammates were stunned...
Chapter completed!
