Chapter 248 His Majesty the King is rude(2/3)
Just like the last game, this one is accurate.
Then back to the defensive end, the Suns also made defensive adjustments.
Hill leads the defense against James on the outside, while Lin Ying and Stoudemire prepare to help defend on the inside.
It is impossible for Lin Ying to attack and defend at the same time, especially when the Cavaliers are so defensively motivated tonight.
But this kind of defensive method is not much worse than Lin Ying's matchup, and it should also be able to limit James' performance.
James saw that it was not Lin Ying who was guarding him, so he directly held the ball and charged forward!
Hill's prediction is also very accurate, but just like G1, he can't stop James!
During James' breakthrough, he directly pushed past Hill and headed inside!
Stoudemire assisted in defense, and James directly turned to the lever to dodge and score a layup!
Lin Ying continued to look for Williams. This time James attacked decisively. Lin Ying passed the ball to Hill, and Hill's mid-range shot hit.
After the previous rounds, Lin Ying's mismatched singles has been perfectly integrated into the Suns' offensive system.
Looking back, James continued his previous play style.
Hill's defense this time was better than last time, but he really couldn't withstand it.
James' impact is too strong.
Lin Ying saw the opportunity and jumped to block the shot at the same time as James took off.
Then something outrageous happened.
After James switched hands to dodge in the air, he switched to his left hand and directly scored through Lin Ying's chop!
Terrible physical fitness!
"Bang!"
The moment the ball was smashed into the basket, the entire Quicken Loans Arena went into a boil.
Look, this is the strength of His Majesty the King, this is the strength of the Kingdom of Knights!
G1 and so on, they just underestimated the enemy!
After dunking, James also arched his right hand and patted his right biceps with his left hand to show off his muscles!
The cheers at the scene became even louder.
In fact, it was Lin Ying's defense that gave many people the illusion that James was suddenly in trouble.
However, the reality is that if James is so easy to defend, how can he be ranked first in the Eastern Conference and win the MVP again?
Even Lin Ying's assisting defense made more people understand that Lin Ying's defensive success lies in leading the defense and preventing James from breaking through and starting.
If James breaks out, even Lin Ying's level of help defense can't restrain him!
This next big problem was thrown to Gentry.
Lin Ying is really useful in leading the defense, but tonight he had to rely on Lin Ying on the offensive end.
I really want to split Lin Ying in half and use it.
Rick Barnes of the University of Texas gives you a thumbs up.
However, Gentry did not make any tactical adjustments this time.
Because compared to the opening stage, the Suns could at least maintain a stalemate in this period.
And this kind of "offensive" game rhythm is what the Suns prefer.
Of course, he didn't do nothing. He shifted Hill's defensive focus to "restricting James" from catching the ball.
Based on this, he even used Allen to guard James during the rotation.
At this time, someone will definitely ask Allen if he will be blown away?
This is really not a knowledge point that must be tested. James' back-up ability at this time is almost zero!
The advantage of size is more obvious in back-to-the-frame offense.
Allen only catches the ball and starts the ball, and his defensive effect is even better than Hill.
After all, young people have fast feet and quick hands.
Of course, if James breaks out, Allen will definitely not be able to guard him.
But with the prominence, there is no difference between Allen and Hill.
Therefore, this two-person wheel still limits James to a certain extent.
In this way, after halftime, the Suns and Cavaliers were tied at 50.
This result is acceptable to both parties.
The Cavaliers played a better situation than G1, and the Suns never expected to defeat the Cavaliers in four games.
After all, the knights came out of the bloody battles in the east, so there is little chance of them being taken away by a wave.
After the halftime break, the two teams continued their style of play in the first half, and the score remained deadlocked.
Then about 6 minutes into the quarter, Gentry waved his hand, and the Suns returned to their opening style of play!
Lin Ying, starting to guard James again!
At this time, James happened to be holding the ball on the right side of the three-point line.
He has scored 21 points tonight, and he has already scored more than the previous game even after three quarters.
So when I saw Lin Ying again, his mentality was very different.
It was probably just an accident that Lin Ying guarded him in the last game. His mentality fluctuated greatly because he was guarded at first.
But tonight, he played very smoothly, everything should be different!
Thinking in his mind, James dribbled the ball left and right on the spot, looking for the right moment to prepare for a breakthrough.
In the 1.0 period, James' dribbling was actually quite good, and he didn't have any crotch movements. He was at the level that a qualified small forward should have.
But before he could break out, Lin Ying's defensive pressure came up.
Those hands are so big and so fast!
He was forced to move sideways to protect the ball.
But after he was forced to do this, he obviously lost his rhythm.
At this moment, Lin Ying fought hard to save and hit the ball directly!
Unfortunately, James was standing very close to the sideline when the ball was played. He didn't have time to control the ball and the ball was knocked out of bounds.
There was a commotion in the place.
Although the ball still belongs to the Cavaliers when it goes out of bounds, this kind of defensive pressure is still there.
James's face suddenly turned ugly.
Is he really unable to get past Lin Ying?
No, impossible!
He is the one who wants to surpass Jordan, how could he be stopped by a little Lin Ying!
He can only have success in his life, how can he fall in front of a little person!
James received the sideline ball and signaled to pull away again.
This time he did not dribble in a hurry, but used three threats to sweep away to support himself...
Hey, why can’t the space come out?
The defensive pressure given by Lin Ying was even stronger than in the first game!
This is too much!
James could only lower his body to launch a breakthrough.
Lin Ying pressed his body up early and kept pressing him, but did not allow him to increase his speed.
As a result, James stopped moving halfway through!
He was unwilling to give in and wanted to use his body to force Lin Ying to get space to attack.
But Lin Ying’s core strength is really strong now!
How could he be weak when he was able to carry Gasol with his height and weight in the last round!
James finally lost his footing and took two steps to turn around and take action.
"beep!"
The touchline referee blows his whistle.
This ball went too obviously!
The scene was agitated.
To be continued...
