Cavaliers head coach Mike Brown was sitting on the sidelines watching this situation and almost jumped up from the bench. Under normal circumstances, when the team's situation worsens, the head coach will usually stand up from his seat first and come to
Go to the sidelines to supervise the battle, and when the situation is really bad, he will choose to call a timeout (read the full text of Chi Zha).
But this time, there was no intermediate transition. Mike Brown stood up from his seat with a whoosh, and then immediately signaled Maurice Williams to call a timeout.
At 36:29, they went from leading by 2 points to falling behind by 7 points, and this was just because they played two minutes in the second quarter. Anthony Morrow's sudden three-pointer without warning had a huge impact on the Cavaliers, because it was completely
Disrupted Mike Brown's deployment.
"Anthony, good job!" Seeing Anthony Morrow walking towards him, Yang Shuai immediately bumped into each other excitedly. He was 7 points ahead of the Cavaliers. Thinking of James' dark face, Yang Shuai felt happy.
"Look at Young's excitement, is it because he finds his own shadow in Anthony Morrow? Last season in the Celtics, Young did such a thing less often, stood up from the bench, and then continued
The goal completely disrupted the opponent's plan. Anthony Morrow, this rookie performed really well today." Reggie Miller said with a smile, for someone who can use shooting from the outside to give the opponent a fatal blow.
He really likes the players.
Sitting on the bench, Anthony Morrow still had unconcealable excitement on his face. Of course, Yang Shuai understood his performance very well, because he himself was such a role last season, especially in the league just now.
Whenever there is an opportunity to perform, Yang Shuai is always excited.
During the timeout, both teams adjusted their lineups, and the two head coaches had a tacit understanding and replaced Yang Shuai and James on the court.
Anthony Morrow was still left on the court by Nelson because of his outstanding performance just now. He also used his performance to tell Nelson that this decision was not wrong. Just two minutes later, he made another shot and it was not until the second
Halfway through the quarter, he was replaced by Jackson.
The Warriors took the initiative with a 7-point lead over the Cavaliers at the beginning of the second quarter. Although it was impossible for them to maintain such a high shooting rate in the rest of the period, they still maintained a 5-point lead after halftime due to the excellent performance of the entire team.
The advantages.
57:52, at halftime, the weaker Warriors actually led by 5 points. I’m afraid not many people thought of this before the game. In the eyes of most people, the Warriors are not the Cavaliers’ opponent (Latest Chapter of Infinite Soul Refining)
.Because before this, the Cavaliers had a record of 12 wins and 3 losses, while the Warriors had a record of 8 wins and 7 losses.
Of course, Yang Shuai was very happy to lead his opponent after halftime. Although he only scored 3 points on 1 of 3 shots in the second quarter, he provided 3 assists in this quarter.
"Boys, you did a great job. Keep up the good work. We need to be more aggressive in the third quarter. As long as the point difference is widened to more than 10 points, the guys in Cleveland will definitely be impatient. At this time, our chance will be
Here it comes." After taking a look at the eager Warriors players, Nelson decided to add another touch of fire.
"Before the game, I saw a lot of reports about this game. Many people thought that we were no match for the Cleveland people. They had already achieved 12 wins and 3 losses, which seemed to be a very impressive result, while we only had 8 wins.
7 losses.”
"Bullshit!" Yang Shuai was the first to stand up and shout, "Cleveland people like to brag about how powerful their team is, so what if they have 12 wins and 3 losses? Don't we, the Golden State Warriors, have the strength?
We almost defeated the champion Celtics and Cleveland in the last game, so we must be fine."
"Yes, no problem!" "Cleveland Cavaliers? What the hell?" "We will destroy them with offense!"
The advantage of the Warriors being mostly young players was reflected at this time. They were so enthusiastic that they were easily stimulated by Nelson. Watching the Warriors players rush out of the locker room impatiently, Nelson laughed.
Attack! Attack! Attack again! This is the main theme of the Warriors in the third quarter. Each player is like taking stimulants, breaking through, shooting, fast break, as long as they seize the opportunity, they will launch an attack.
The Cavaliers originally planned to narrow the point difference in the third quarter, but after half a quarter, a dunk by Biedrins widened the point difference to 11 points. This was the first time tonight that the two teams had a point difference of two points.
number of digits.
Although the Cavaliers subsequently strengthened their defense and their offense also picked up, after three quarters, the Warriors still had a 7-point advantage.
84:77, this score is quite satisfactory to the Warriors fans, but the Warriors players are a little dissatisfied with the score difference of more than 10 points mentioned by Nelson. You must know that they did it in the middle of this quarter.
He passed, only to be overtaken by the knight later (read the full text of the Legend of the Saint).
"We must win this game! I don't need to rest in the fourth quarter." Sitting on the bench, watching Mike Brown pick up the tactical board, James said solemnly.
Mike Brown nodded and took over what James said: "The Warriors only have 8 wins and 7 losses. Their strength is not as strong as they appear. In the fourth quarter, strengthen the defense and don't let them run. Our success rate is,
LeBron, it's up to you to control the ball more, attack yourself or assist your teammates. One day ago, the Boston Celtics defeated the opposing team. If we lose to them, it will only make people outside laugh at us again as we are not as good as the Celtics.
Ertes, I think you don’t want this to happen.”
Mike Brown's last words made the Cavaliers players' expressions change slightly. They all remembered that they were eliminated by the Celtics 4:1 in the second round last season.
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Warriors players realized the changes of the Cavaliers. In terms of defense, they became more aggressive and even started to defend from the backcourt to prevent the Warriors from speeding up their attack rhythm.
The Cavaliers' changes also disrupted Nelson's original plan. He replaced Jackson and Yang Shuai who were resting off the court.
The appearance of Jackson and Yang Shuai did not immediately solve the problem. The Cavaliers players seemed to be getting more and more courageous amidst the cheers at the scene. James, who scored 22 points in the first three quarters, also completely opened up in this quarter, relying on his own impact.
, and occasionally relying on teammates' pick-and-rolls, James hit the basket again and again. With 5 minutes left in the game, James' score increased to 30, and the Cavaliers also tied the score.
96:96, watching such a game, Kirk Hinrich, who was in possession of the ball, called a timeout, and Yang Shuai walked down the court expressionlessly, with sweat dripping down his face. Fourth
In the first quarter, he was more tired than in the previous three quarters. James strengthened his attack and he had to devote all his attention to defense. After returning, he had to participate in the offense. This kind of play was very physically demanding.
After the first three quarters, Yang Shuai scored 17 points, but so far in the fourth quarter, he has only scored 2 points (read the full text of the online game Rise of the Three Kingdoms).
"Yang, don't defend LeBron when you return to the court. Brandon will defend. Yang, you participate in the offense, we need to score!" The first thing Nelson did was to adjust the lineup and replace him with Brandon Wright.
Play Turiaf and let him guard James.
Although Wright plays the power forward position, his movement speed is very good. Although his slow lateral movement speed makes it easy for him to break through when facing James, Old Nelson can't care so much. In Old Nelson's eyes,
, it doesn’t matter how many points your opponent scores, what’s important is that your score is higher than the opponent’s.
Yang Shuai nodded. After just taking a few sips of the drink, he felt that his physical strength had recovered a bit. If he only attacked, there would be no big problem in playing until the end of the game.
Speaking of physical strength, handsome guy Yang really wanted to ask Xiaoqiang when his physical strength would improve. Now he felt that his advanced physical strength was becoming less and less sufficient.
According to Nelson's arrangement, the first ball on the court was to hit Yang Shuai. Yang Shuai's offensive slump in the first few minutes of this quarter confused James. When Yang Shuai used Wright's screen to catch the ball and take a quick shot, James although
He also jumped up to defend, but he didn't stop Yang Shuai from scoring.
"Whoa!" The long-lost voice finally sounded in Yang Shuai's ears again, causing him to secretly pump his fist. He was no less determined to win this game than James.
"Hey, Yang didn't defend LeBron? Don Nelson used Brandon Wright to defend LeBron!" Back on the defensive end, Yang Shuai actually ran to confront Ben Wallace, which immediately aroused Barkley's attention.
Attention of three people.
I have to say that Nelson's adjustment this time was very effective. With Wright as the main defender and Yang Shuai waiting for opportunities to help defend, it caused trouble for James. Yang Shuai, freed from defense, also made good contributions on the offensive end.
Scored 6 points in four minutes.
"The fact that the game was so close was indeed beyond the expectations of many people. Before the game, many people thought that the Cavaliers were much stronger than the Warriors, and that the Cavaliers would win (Imperial Expedition) relatively easily. 106:106, game
It’s tied again, with 32 seconds left on the clock, and both sides have the right to attack.”
This is a timeout called by the Cavaliers. They have the right to attack first. Even if it takes them 24 seconds to complete the offense, the Warriors still have 8 seconds to complete an offense.
"King! king!" "mvp!" "mvp!" Amidst the cheers of Cavaliers fans, James held the ball at the top of the key and prepared to attack. It was still Brandon Wright who defended him.
Time passed by second by second, and James, who was counting the time, finally started to move. Ilgauskas picked and rolled. They needed to empty the Warriors inside.
"LeBron rushed in..." While the scene was cheering, Kenny Smith also exclaimed.
"Not good!" Seeing Brandon's lateral movement speed being so slow, Yang Shuai knew that he would no longer be able to keep an eye on James, and immediately rushed over.
"Yang came to help defend, LeBron took off, held up Young for a layup, oh! The ball went in, 106:108, the Cavaliers led by 2 points."
"Coax!" "mvp! mvp!" James shouted vigorously under the basket, and Quicken Loans Arena was also filled with jubilation.
Yang Shuai rushed over to cover, but facing James who had already rushed up, it was not easy to stop him. Yang Shuai jumped up to interfere, but still did not prevent James from scoring. James pushed the ball into the basket against Yang Shuai.
.
"Cavaliers! Cavaliers!" "LeBron! LeBron!" "Hey, kid, you can't stop LeBron!"
Looking at the proud smile on James' face and listening to the hustle and bustle of Quicken Loans Arena, Yang Shuai curled his lips and walked off the court. The Warriors called a timeout.
The time left for the Warriors is not much, but it is enough to complete an attack. In 10 seconds, they can have enough time to execute a tactic, and the Warriors can even use less time to complete an attack, but considering
This would give the Cavaliers time to attack, which they obviously would not do.
