After trying several times to find misalignments without success, James had no choice but to start working alone.
This is the last move, and it is also the most effective and useful move for the knight.
But warriors have more experience in guarding against this move.
I have tried it on Evans and Jennings twice before, and the results are very good.
The Cavaliers made three consecutive attacks, all of which ended with James' reluctant shot.
What annoys Cavaliers head coach Mike Brown is that James didn't feel good today!
James took three shots and failed to score!
No way, this is not what James is best at.
Even if it's normal, it's not surprising if no one comes in.
What's more, facing the Warriors' targeted defense!
But James didn't have any good ideas. Lagabell took a step back to defend, always guarding against his breakthrough.
In addition to two long men, Big Z and Big Lopez, there was also Prince waiting for him near the penalty area.
The paint area is too crowded!
Even if you don’t make a mistake in entering, you will still be punished!
James' offense was unfavorable, but the Cavaliers slowly discovered that it was more effective to play Curry alone.
Curry is taller than Mo Mo, but Curry's jumping and explosive power are not that good. On the defensive end, it is only his extraordinary enthusiasm that keeps him from being too behind.
The reason why Xiao Mo is also called Mo Bu Chuan is that it can be seen that he still has two brushes in his ball-handling attack.
Especially his shooting, whether mid-range or three-point, is quite high.
Even when facing a defender with good defense, Xiao Mo's offense can maintain a good shooting percentage.
Not to mention Curry coming to defend.
Of course, another reason is that Curry is a rookie and lacks defensive experience.
With his top-notch movement control skills and incredible touch, even as a rookie, Curry doesn't have much problem on the offensive end.
And precisely because he is a rookie, opponents are not familiar with Curry's characteristics, so Curry can be unbelievable from the beginning!
After a hard-working game, the people defending Curry finally understood Curry's characteristics, but the game is over!
The next game will be a different opponent, and those who defend Curry will have to start from scratch.
Therefore, on the offensive end, opponents need to explore and become familiar with Curry's characteristics.
But the defensive end is different.
In every game you have to face a new opponent and face new challenges.
Different opponents have different styles, so you have to keep learning and exploring.
Although Curry is sent by Deng Fang to defend the weakest part of the opponent's offense in every game, no matter how weak he is, he is still the starter!
Against the Cavaliers, the only thing Curry can guard is Mo.
Not to mention Big Z and JJ Hickson, it is impossible for Curry to match up.
It's not possible to guard against James. That's the mismatch the Cavaliers are constantly looking for.
Anthony Parker is much taller than Curry, plays the second position, and has a stronger offensive impact than Mo Mo.
It will be more troublesome for Curry to guard Anthony Parker, and Curry is likely to get into foul trouble.
So Curry can only guard Xiao Mo.
Xiao Mo is very effective against Curry alone, so give him the ball and let him attack.
Originally, the second-in-command of the Cavaliers was Mo.
But gradually Xiao Mo's attack became less effective.
After all, Curry has height and high motivation. The only difference is his experience.
Let Mo play three or four times in a row, and Curry will find a way to defend Mo.
That is to try our best to limit Mo Williams' shooting and allow him to break through.
If you break through, wait for someone to help defend you.
Those who help defend only interfere and do not let go of their own people.
Why is this?
Because Xiao Mo and Jennings are limited by their height and weight, neither of them likes to hit the basket, and their success rate of breakthroughs is very low.
This is what you are being bullied about!
Once Curry figures out Xiao Mo's offensive characteristics, it will be easy to say.
After all, Curry is much taller than Mo Mo. As long as he tries his best to block shots, Mo Mo's shooting will be greatly affected.
James couldn't shoot well, Mo's offense was slowly restricted, and the Cavaliers' offense became increasingly difficult.
In turn, the Warriors' offense is much smoother.
This Warriors lineup sacrifices frontcourt height for the sake of offense!
All five of them scored three points!
Everyone can hit the basket!
There is also a court wizard, a super shooter who has no blind spots on the court!
Whether it's Curry's off-ball movement or Curry's pick-and-roll, it's very difficult for the Cavaliers to defend.
Big Z's speed is not generally slow, and JJ Hickson's defense has never been good!
It's not good to let him defend the inside line, let alone guard the outside line instead!
Xiao Mo is also a defensive black hole. Not only is his physical fitness the worst on the court, but he also lacks motivation.
Anthony Parker is okay, at least he's not a loophole.
The only one who defends well is James.
James had to keep filling in to help defend, and he was exhausted within a few rounds.
Not only are you physically tired, but you are also mentally tired!
Curry accidentally made a three-pointer, and finally caught up with Curry, and Azubuike stole another basket.
Lopez is even more annoying. A big man who doesn't stay under the basket always runs outside and shoots three-pointers. How can we defend him?
In less than three minutes of play, Lopez made five three-pointers!
Lopez felt pretty good today, scoring three out of five three-pointers!
In desperation, Big Z and JJ Hickson both came to the three-point line to defend the three-pointer.
There is only one James inside to help defend.
Only his movement speed is fast enough to allow the Warriors to worry about players rushing to the basket.
But James also has his own defensive target, Laga Bell outside the three-point line.
Laga Bell’s three-pointers should be even more accurate!
The Cavaliers were constantly attacked inside by the Warriors, and the penalty area was constantly in danger.
A three-pointer was shot from the outside, and the ball was hit from the inside. The Cavaliers' points dropped sharply.
In the blink of an eye, in less than six minutes, the score between the two teams became 21:12!
The Warriors lead by 9 points!
The Cavaliers had to call a timeout.
After the timeout, the Cavaliers' personnel remained unchanged, and James began to attack the inside.
Clearly, Mike Brown had instructions!
This is our home court!
You are the first in the league!
Why don't you go inside?
Is there anyone inside to help with the defense?
If you are not afraid, just hit him!
Don’t worry, the referee won’t blow you off!
Lagabell is very experienced. After seeing James' posture, he took a step back again near the three-point line!
There is almost two steps between Lagabell and James, but James still doesn't shoot.
I just don’t shoot three-pointers!
James dribbled the ball, feinted, lowered his head and rushed inside.
Lagabell quickly stood in front of James.
James changed direction again, and Lagabell blocked him again.
Lagabel is not afraid of speed.
Than experience?
Lagaabel is even less afraid!
James was a little anxious. He dribbled the ball with his right hand and pushed forward while protecting the ball with his left hand.
Lagabel fell down immediately.
But the referee didn't blow the whistle!
What are you bragging about?
Lagaabel blocks?
They took their place in advance!
Called James an offensive foul?
How can it be!
You think too much!
It’s not like they bumped into each other directly!
Are there any pushing movements with the hands?
Not obvious!
Who knows if that's legitimate ball protection or pushing someone?
Has anyone defined the boundaries for ball protection?
People have long arms, so that’s not allowed!
The referee's whistle is originally a very vague matter, and many of them can be blown or not.
Even if the whistle should be blown, if he wants not to blow it, he will have to find a reason!
Did you object?
Still makes sense?
Sorry, I'm not in a good position, so what I see is different from what you said!
Am I right in front of you?
Sorry, I'm looking at Curry and Xiao Mo in the distance!
Didn’t see it!
It’s not allowed!
Referees are human too!
Misjudgements and missed calls are part of the game!
Therefore, if the referee wants to treat someone preferentially, it is difficult for you to find out the reason.
The only thing you can do is to become a super giant!
Go one step further and become the leader of the alliance!
In this way, the referee will also treat you preferentially.
