135 On the Maple Leaf

"Embid grabbed an offensive rebound over Love. He didn't choose to make up the dunk, but instead stepped up under Love's defense."

"Andone"

"Beep!" Embiid yelled. Apparently even the referee couldn't ignore it.

"The referee wants to blow the whistle and calls Love a foul, ohhhhhh, Andone." Kenny Smith is enthusiastically explaining Embiid and Love and Embiid.

"..." Faced with his talent being suppressed, Love didn't even bother to defend himself to the referee.

"Kenny, you are exaggerating. This goal is not as passionate as you described it." It is necessary to dismantle the opponent. It is impossible not to dismantle the opponent.

"The Cavaliers' defense is in trouble. They don't have a heavy center. Although the mobile center is adequate for defense, the offense almost devours the space that LeBron and Irving can use. And when Love plays center, although the offense can stretch the basket, the defense

,,,Without Young, even Embiid and Brogdon can eat up all the pieces of Love." As a historical center, O'Neal easily found that his old teammate's team was in a dilemma.

"Packaging the ball handler and the down man in the pick-and-roll cannot solve the problem. When Embiid is in the low post, Young is standing in the corner on the other side. The Cavaliers' help defense force cannot be adjusted. The Cavaliers now only have two players.

One choice, one, is to believe that my offense can kill the 76ers." Even Kenny Smith, who is a guard, can see the current situation clearly.

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

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

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

Because he agrees very much

Even if you lose, you must keep playing the cards you can play, and don't have any thoughts of trusting Qi Bing.

Tyronn Lue believes in Love and his three-pointers

Then Young naturally believed in the abilities of Brogdon and Embiid, and began to divide his shooting rights between them.

Bottom corner position

Even if the Cavaliers are now trailing by 16 to 20 points, Young still needs to save some room for physical fitness in the third and fourth quarters.

Since you want to save energy, "watching a show" at the bottom corner is naturally the best option.

45:67

With Brogdon hitting a three-pointer at the buzzer with 1.3 seconds remaining, the Philadelphia 76ers returned to the locker room with a 22-point lead.

Young: 11 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal and 1 block.

Embiid: 12 points, 6 rebounds, 2 blocks

Brogdon: 13 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal

Unlike the 76ers, who had a smooth offense, the Cleveland Cavaliers' experience simply cannot be described as bad.

JR Smith 1 for 6

Shumpert 1-for-6

Love went 4-for-11

Tristan Thompson 0 points, 3 rebounds, 3 turnovers

The most important rotation except LeBron James and Irving only contributed 14 points to them. If it weren't for Mo Williams' two three-pointers in the second half of the second quarter, the Cavaliers would not have scored 40 points.

.

The Cavaliers' main players performed poorly, while the star players had mixed results

Under Richardson's candy-like defense, Irving lost his offensive rhythm. Coupled with the fact that Covington at the fourth position had nothing to do with his last attack, Irving completely lost the opportunity to increase production.

2 of 7 shots, 8 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists. Irving's half-time statistics are good enough in normal games, but if he wants to beat the 76ers, these statistics

not enough

Irving's performance was not good. A few months ago, the Cavaliers would have been completely defeated.

But this game is different

Another core member of the Cavaliers, LeBron James, changed his performance from last season's shooting rate of less than 50% against the 76ers. He made 5 of 8 shots and scored 14 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal in the half.

…………

…………

Irving, Shumpert, JR Smith, James, Love

The Cavaliers started the second half by sticking with the lineup they used late in the second quarter.

Brogdon, Richardson, Young, Covington, Siakam.

Because Embiid played more than 12 minutes in the first two quarters, Embiid obeyed the time limit and sat on the bench at the beginning of the second half.

Due to a failed jump ball, the first attack of the second half belonged to the Cavaliers

"Are you surprised by the lead defense?" The fully mobile defensive lineup was completed, giving Young the full necessity to defend LeBron from the frontcourt when he catches the ball.

"Not surprised" Since he was not given the ball, LeBron did not force the ball, but handed the ball to the other dual-handler.

Owen

"Cover?" Although he caught Irving's signal to call for tactics, Young didn't know what he wanted to do?

Cover the screener and then cover Irving√

Help James get rid of the strongest defensive point√

When Love and James ran to the baseline one after another and squeezed each other, Young guessed what the Cavaliers were thinking:

Use players with space threats to move defenders away.

"No change"

Young, who had figured everything out, immediately told Siakam that there was no need to switch defenses, even if Love was missed.

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

"Irving passed the ball, and there was no interference with Love's shot."

"Cang!!!!" Love's hammering sound did not make Tyronn Lue look ugly, but there was a person on the sidelines whose expression had entered the mode before the storm.

"David, tell the entire league that we are selling Love, and we are asking for a main-level striker." Irving cannot be sold. LeBron just renewed his contract for two years in the summer, so the only remaining target for surgery is Love.

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

Why so perfunctory?

Because he knows that if he sells Love, it would be best to switch to a striker of Crowder's level. Moreover, Love's contract of more than 20 million yuan is not suitable for the price of this level of 3D.

The conclusion is to sell

Not too possible

Unless there is someone like the Knicks who takes advantage of him

"Travis, do you have a problem 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 dialed the phone of a president of basketball affairs...

after an hour………………

"Then we will have a detailed discussion when you visit. I think it is a little too early to talk about bargaining chips now..." Schlenk's first effort ended.

Schlenk also understands the failure. After all, the other party holds a quasi-super giant, and whether it can be sold is the other party's decision, not his own.

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

"The fourth quarter has started?"

"8:39 seconds, 80:106"
Chapter completed!
