Adrian did not sincerely intend to knock James down, but he did not expect that James would be so desperate to keep up with him. If he was in good condition, Adrian might still have difficulty getting rid of him, but his physical strength was serious
consumption, but his performance began to decline.
After reaching James, Adrian took a sharp step forward, entered the three-second zone, jumped high, pulled a lever in the air, dodged Ilgauskas's struggling defense, raised his hand, and made another layup.
Scored two points.
"Beautiful!!! Ankle terminator, Adrian scored two points again, LeBron James was knocked to the ground! In a one-on-one duel, Adrian won an undoubted victory!" Charles -
Barkley opened his arms and yelled. Although James scored more than ten points more than Adrian at the moment, in Barkley's view, Adrian was obviously better. As a typical James, Charles
- Barkley has expressed his disdain for LeBron James' frequent care by the league in front of the public media countless times. It is the same this time. Every time the referee makes a penalty in favor of LeBron James, he always laughs loudly.
The referee forgot to put on his contact lenses.
After being knocked around by Adrian, LeBron James' performance obviously became more impatient. As soon as he received the basketball, he immediately launched an attack on Adrian, but due to physical limitations, LeBron's offensive efficiency began to decline.
-James, this kind of persistent impact was not able to restore the score disadvantage for the Cavaliers. Instead, it tore the Cavaliers' originally not very smooth offensive tactics into pieces, and fell into scoring shortages again and again.
Until the sixth minute of the third quarter, LeBron James was taken off the court for the first time to rest. The Cleveland Cavaliers' scoring drought lasted for a full four minutes and was unable to break. Within these four minutes, the Orlando Magic
However, the team accurately seized this opportunity and quickly widened the score gap, leading the Cleveland Cavaliers by as many as 20 points 88:68.
Two minutes later, Adrian was substituted.
Weaver came on as a substitute again, but this time, Weaver's performance was not as amazing as when he came on the scene in the second quarter. This is also Weaver's key shortcoming, his scoring methods are very diverse, and he can
Outside. He can not only hit three-pointers from the outside, but also go inside to dunk and cause damage. He has strong offensive power, but the supply continuity is very poor. Because his offensive choices are too rough, he is very easy to be attacked.
Targeted defense. In short, he is a microwave-type player who can exert sufficient power in a short playing time, but once the playing time is longer, it is difficult for him to sustain this excellent performance.
Go down.
After a three-minute break, LeBron James reappeared.
Without Adrian in the Magic's lineup, they lack a key link against LeBron James. Without Adrian, Lewis is too thin, Turkoglu lacks strength, and it is difficult for others to keep up with LeBron James.
Brown James' speed. Taking advantage of Adrian's absence, LeBron James led the Cavaliers to set off a wave of counterattack, narrowing the score gap to less than 10 points at 12:5. But Adrian again
After coming on the court, he quickly stabilized the situation on the court. LeBron James, who was too physically exhausted, was at a complete disadvantage when facing Adrian on both offense and defense.
"We have to think of some ways." Leaving the box at the Amway Center, a fat, bald, middle-aged man said to the people around him: "We must minimize the possible adverse effects of this matter."
It is impossible for the Cavaliers to make a comeback. The main players are physically exhausted. LeBron James' performance is strictly restricted by Adrian. There is nothing on the Cavaliers' bench that can suddenly stand up to provide momentum for a comeback.
Player. But the fact that the game is over does not mean that this matter is over. Compared with the outcome of the game, this bald middle-aged man is more concerned about the storm that will be caused after the game is over.
"Yes, sir, we already have sufficient plans." A young man said: "The media only reported on LeBron's shoulder injury three days ago. At that time, LeBron said that the shoulder injury would not affect the game.
But as long as we reveal that James' shoulder injury has recurred and that he is playing with the injury, we should be able to reduce... the impact of this defeat."
"Well, that's not enough. We should focus on reporting that the Cavaliers fought back to back. Both physical strength and momentum were at a low ebb, which allowed the Magic to easily win."
"I think Mr. Brown is willing to stand up and take responsibility. After all, his arrangement of the Cavaliers' defense caused LeBron to consume too much energy on the defensive end, which led to James' ineffectiveness on the offensive end."
"This is the home court of the Magic. We can focus on reporting that the Magic won because of their home court advantage."
In the discussion of several people, a set of copywriting was quickly formed, and all the factors that caused the Cavaliers' defeat were quickly removed from LeBron James. The reason for the Cavaliers' defeat was the unfavorable schedule and the referee's fault.
The whistleblowing bias is due to the Magic's home court advantage, Cavaliers coach Brown's wrong arrangement, and other Cavaliers' poor performance. In short, it cannot be James' fault!
"Yes." Seeing that several people quickly came up with feasible plans, the bald middle-aged man nodded with satisfaction: "That's good, let's continue the arrangement. I will see these reports appear in the magazine early tomorrow morning.
On the front pages of sports newspapers. Moreover, I don’t want to see a single report about Adrian becoming the number one player of the young generation in the league. LeBron James is still the number one player of the young generation!”
"I'm afraid it's going to be difficult sir... it's going to be difficult for us to impact local coverage in Orlando."
"Then there should be no reports like this except in Orlando, and just do your best."
"Yes sir."
Nodding with satisfaction, the bald middle-aged man looked at the court again. At this time, the Magic fans had already started cheering in celebration. 105:88, the Orlando Magic held a nearly 20-point lead, and the game time was only 105:88.
With only three minutes left, Cavaliers head coach Brown took the lead in replacing all the main players, and the game was declared to have entered garbage time.
In the end, the Orlando Magic won this much-anticipated battle with 113:98 at home at the Amway Center. (To be continued...)
