Chapter 17: The Laggard Rivers(1/2)

Time Warner Center, this highly anticipated tiebreak battle has finally started.

Although the Cavaliers were unilaterally speaking before the game, and they didn't look strong, when they arrived at the game, the tension and oppression still came to their faces.

Li Ke was also a little nervous. Before the game, some media pointed out that his tiebreak rate was 100%.

It seems that this is to make him feel confident, but in fact, Li Ke has only played a tiebreak once in his career.

In the first round of the playoffs in 2009, they played with the Heat until the tiebreak.

The tiebreak battle was quite fierce. At the last moment, Li Ke, who was in the second grade, scored 11 points in a row and led the team to win.

A 100% winning rate of 700 in a game is indeed not worth mentioning, and it does not give you much confidence.

The reason why the media mentioned this is more because Li Ke defeated Wade in that tiebreak seven.

But now, everything is completely different from three years ago.

Wade has two superstar helpers, Lebang and Bo Giant, but Li Ke has only a growing but still young Curry.

"It's a tiebreak, and the Cavaliers' performance has given us a lot of surprises. Now, it's the best way to get Elvin Gentry to be the head coach this season."

"Gentry knows Bobcats so well. The Knights can force Bobcats to the tiebreak, and his contribution is the greatest."

The commentator seat, Mike Bryn, was in the center, and Kenny Smith and Barkley were on both sides.

Before the opening, he analyzed why the Cavaliers who were not optimistic before the start of the series could force the Bobcats to tiebreak. Then, Mike Bryn turned his head and looked at Barkley.

"Now it's tiebreaker, Charles, do you think this tiebreaker has a better chance of Bobcats or a better chance of the Cavaliers?"

Barkley knew that as long as he stood in the commentary seat, problems similar to pre-match predictions would definitely arise.

If it were the usual, he would have blurted out: Of course, the chances of being a bobcat are a little higher.

But after watching g6, Barkley had some doubts about the bobcats.

"I'm more optimistic about the Knights. They just won the g6 and are in full momentum. From the g6, they have grasped the lifeblood of the bobcat..."

After some analysis, Mike Brynn then threw the same problem to Kenny Smith.

Kenny Smith is now a big fan of Bobcats, and he didn't think so: "Of course it's Bobcats. From the beginning, I was optimistic about it. Even when I reached the tiebreak, I was optimistic about it."

"To be honest, I'm looking forward to this tiebreak battle. I already feel that the Bobcats in this game can come up with something different..."

Kenny Smith made a strong prediction that the starters of the two teams also made their debuts on the court.

On the Bobcats, point guard Curry, shooting guard Li Ke, small forward Hua Er, power forward Dior, center Jordan Jordan, no change.

On the Cavaliers, point guard Billups, shooting guard Wade, small forward Lebang, power forward Batille, center Valaijo, there is no change.

"Neither team has made any changes. What we need to look at next is the defense matchup."

A beep!

The referee whistle sounded and the basketball was thrown into the air.

"The competition has begun!"

"Dandre Jordan won the jump ball again, and the Bobcats started the game!"

The Bobcats attacked first again, Curry controlled the ball, quickly advanced to the frontcourt, and then gave it to Dior at the top of the arc.

Dior's arc top support proves that the Bobcat's playing style has not changed.

Lebang stared at Li Ke, and Bathir, who was facing Dior at the top of the arc, stared at him.

On the other side, Wade also stared at Curry, and Changxi and Hua Lao Er pulled to the bottom corner together.

Finally, Valaijo and Jordan Jr. fought inside.

In the first attack at the beginning, Li Ke stood up. After a round, he suddenly received the ball and shot from Lebang's defense.

But with a clang, the basket rejected the ball.

Time Warner Center sighed, and at the basket, Valejo helped Wade take the rebound by getting the ball.

Immediately, Wade turned around and accelerated instantly. The Flash headed straight to the frontcourt.

"Sheldon tried to make one, but didn't make it..."

"Dwyne Wade's rebound, the Cavaliers' counterattack is here!"

"They are very fast. The frontcourt directly abandoned DeAndre Jordan and Anderson Valaijo and made a four-on-four counterattack!"

The four-on-four counterattack, at first glance, the Cavaliers have no advantage in numbers.

But Wade still attacks, and even strong attacks must be attacked.

Their purpose is to take advantage of the fact that the Bobcats have not yet established a stable foothold and fight a chaotic battle, hoping to find a good opportunity to score in the chaotic battle.

Just talking about this attack, they did find an opportunity.

Wade made a breakthrough with lightning. The second Hua who was guarding against the target was no longer the second Hua who had the same explosive power. He didn't keep up with him, so he could only turn around and watch Wade go away helplessly.

Swish—!

0 to 2!

"Wade exerted his strength, and Gerald Wallace could not stop him in the counterattack!"

In the commentary, Barkley described the Cavaliers' offensive in a few words. Then, he analyzed the biggest changes in the Cavaliers' game from the Cavaliers' offensive.

"The Cavaliers' style of playing in this game is obviously different, they are speeding up!"

Barkley was very sensitive to the changes in the Knights, so it was naturally impossible for the Bobcat to be worse than him.

Rivers frowned on the sidelines: "What does Elvin mean? Speed ​​up?"

The difference is that Rivers will think more about what the purpose of this wave of knights is?

What else can the Cavaliers have? They just want to use chaos to destroy the Bobcats' defensive formation.

Although the Bobcats did not focus on defense in the previous six battles.

But with Jordan guarding the penalty area, there are also DPOY Li Ke, as well as a group of single defense experts such as Matthews, Tucker, and Hua Lao Er. The Bobcats' defense has always maintained a very high lower limit.

In the first six games, the Cavaliers did not have a defense against the Bobcats.

When it comes to the tiebreak, Gentry is in a desperate situation.

The moment he speeds up and captures offense and defense changes is the killer move he retains. Injuring others may hurt himself, but he still chooses to use this killer move.

Because he felt that this killer move would force the bobcat to make changes.

As long as the Bobcat changes, the chances of the Knights in the tiebreak will increase.

After all, when it comes to paper strength, the Knights are stronger. Although the Big Three has become a joke, they are also Big Three after all.

At present, Gentry's strategy was successful in the first attack at the beginning.

Without Jordan's franchise protection, Curry is easily ordered, and Hua Lao Er's shortcomings of slow speed will also be beaten up, not to mention that there is also a Dior who is easily ordered and slow.

Although this counterattack has no advantage in numbers, the Knights still have the advantage in terms of personal abilities.

Rivers frowned. Before he could react, he just stood on the side of the court with his arms crossed his chest.

After the Bobcats kicked off in the backcourt, they arrived at the frontcourt, and Dior held the ball on the top of the arc to support him.

There is no change in the Bobcat, so I chose to find Li Ke in this wave.

"On the right, Sheldon made a round and stood up to catch the ball."

"LeBron held back his, and he didn't make any shots or surprises..."

Lebang wanted to catch both hands, but unexpectedly, the next second after Li Ke received the ball, he rushed out.

Even Lebang could only turn around and follow Li Ke to eat ashes.

Bathir was forced to defend himself, and Dior at the top of the arc immediately leaked.

Although Wade quickly made up for it, Billups at the weak bottom corner was also moving.

But in the end, this wave of Cavaliers' defense was missed, and Li Ke passed the ball directly to Dior.

Dior made a fake vote and forced Wade to lean over.

When Wade completely let go of Curry, Dior passed the ball and gave it to Curry.

Curry received the ball and did not disappoint the Bobcats. He raised his hand and shot in the middle distance before Billups' repair defense was in place.

Swish—!

2 to 2!

The Bobcats tied the score!

Scoring a goal means that the Cavaliers have no chance to switch off and fight back.

They can only kick off the ball in the backcourt and play honestly.

In the positional battle, Jordan Little is protecting the frame and Li Ke is assisting in defense at any time. The disadvantage of Hua Lao Er's slow movement speed no longer exists.

During the Cavaliers' attack, they still looked for Wade's point.

There is no way, Li Ke is staring at him tightly. Old Bilu is now a 3D dribble defender. Valaijo is a blue-collar worker, and Bathir is at most a blue-collar worker who brings penalty kicks.
To be continued...
