As the ball was knocked off the sideline by the Cavaliers with 2 minutes and 02 seconds left in the first quarter, the only official timeout in the first quarter today came.

After Blatt called the first timeout, Brown also understood the situation and called the only short timeout in the first half with 6 minutes and 01 seconds remaining.

In fact, the reason why the coaches of the two teams are unwilling to call timeout is very simple:

iron

The players on both teams are very strong from beyond the three-point line, so scoring depends entirely on free throws and close-range attacks.

Of course there is CIC,

After all, there are no supporters of Morey's magic ball theory in the Cavaliers and 76ers teams.

so

The score is also very low

At this time, the Cavaliers led the 76ers by 1 point at 20:19.

pause

Brett Brown didn't say anything

He just replaced Covington, who had played two minutes against two fouls.

and replaced Alfonso McKinnie.

Have to say

Brett Brown was lucky. Irving, who the 76ers couldn't control, came off the field after the timeout.

now is

LeBron James brings

Tristan Thompson, Dellavedova, James Jones, Shumpert

The rotating lineup fought bloody battles

The same goes for the 76ers

Yang brought

The rotation of Holmes, McKinney, Moore, and McConnell consumes every second when the main players are away.

Lack of qualified power forward, lack of supporting setter, lack of main center, lack of main point guard, lack of sixth man

When facing Owen James Love's Cavaliers, Young couldn't suppress all the problems he could suppress before.

"What's wrong?" Seeing something wrong in his eyes, McConnell asked Yang.

The team's offense, defense, and organization must all be carried on their own shoulders.

to win

So

At once

One shoulder to carry!

The desire for victory quickly disappeared from his consciousness as he thought too much.

"It's okay, let's go." Yang, who thought clearly, returned to the competition field with his most confident body condition as usual.

…………

…………

"Young played 12 minutes to maintain the situation. As long as he takes a rest, the team will definitely be able to widen the point difference, unless he plays 48 minutes without rest.

Yes, as soon as he comes down, the massacre will begin immediately."

Although they only led by 1 point at 26:25, Cavaliers fans sounded very confident.

"With 8 points, 5 rebounds, 7 assists and 8 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists, Young and LeBron fought evenly in the first quarter."

"This was already clear in the first game. Now the Cavaliers are looking at how much assistance Irving can give and how much support the shooters headed by Love can give."

"The 76ers are looking at how much of Irving and Love's contribution Young can absorb when facing off against LeBron, and whether his physical strength can last until the end of the game."

"He didn't even take a break."

At the beginning of the second quarter, everyone was surprised to see Young still on the court, because even the steely LeBron needed a short rest after 12 minutes.

It seems that he did not choose this way, but chose another path:

Dragging the 76ers forward

Facing Dellavedova's offense, he will only shoot the opponent in the corner.

Young simply stayed on the edge of the three-second zone.

Can help protect the rim and collect rebounds in the backcourt.

Can defend three-pointers from a distance

Facing the big open space given by Young, Dellavedova's poor touch was clearly reflected. In 3 minutes, he missed four consecutive corner three-pointers.

The space couldn't be opened, and Mo Williams, who used the screen to get inside, received two big hits.

Looking at the livid David Blatt, Dellavedova obediently walked back to the bench during the dead ball time.

Facing Irving, who replaced Dellavedova and returned to the field, Young picked another soft persimmon:

Mo Williams

Facing Irving who couldn't hold him down at all, Young didn't take over. Instead, he provided cover for his teammates to cut inside, feed alley-oops and create breakthrough opportunities.

If it doesn't work, just make up a basket to prevent your team from being pulled away.

Less than 4 minutes into the second quarter, LeBron James stood on the sidelines again.

"By the way, when is the fastest triple-double record?" Taking advantage of Irving causing Holmes to foul, he glanced at Charles Barkley's technical statistics; looking at Young's 12 points, 8 rebounds, 10 assists and 2 blocks, he remembered

made a record.

"17 minutes. He is still two rebounds short. He still has two minutes to break the record set 60 years ago."

"Swish, swish"

35:36

Irving's two successful free throws once again changed the score.

"clang"

Perhaps because he played too long, Young missed his mid-range pull-up jumper.

LeBron James, who wanted to rush after grabbing the rebound, immediately received a bear hug.

"beep"

It hasn’t entered the bon stage yet

A foul to stop a fast break, Young thinks, is a good deal.

What’s next for LeBron James

Yang was a little confused,

After passing the half court, he directly shot a three-pointer higher than the basket.

Maybe to save effort, I can only explain it this way.

Because McConnell was there, Young did not receive the ball from the backcourt, but ran to the frontcourt and hung a side screen for McKinney.

Seeing that James still didn't leave, Young didn't force it and instead took control of the ball from McConnell.

"3"

The three fingers suddenly raised are not tactics, but point-to-kill.

Except for Alfonso McKinney, the other three people have come to the left side.

"Come and hit me, switch defense."

Even a fool knows that the 2v2 pick-and-roll is aimed at him.

Young vs James

This matchup was realized for the first time on the 76ers' offense.

After a few fake cross dribbles,

A small andout probing step was placed in front of James

Continue to guard against shots?

Defend!

James had no intention of blocking his breakthrough, he guessed it at a glance

The next step should be to block the left hand and force yourself to enter the three-second zone from the baseline.
