Deng Fang spoke very loudly, which was obviously intentional.
Three referees were standing nearby and could hear clearly.
Deng Fang was clearly satirizing them!
But they don't have any good ideas.
Deng Fang didn't curse or get excited. Outsiders seemed quite friendly. What can you do?
Just bear with it!
Besides, they do have a point, and a few sarcastic words are appropriate.
Since my boast is a bit biased, I have to let others say a few words.
Deng Fang shook his head disdainfully as he walked back.
Scolding the referee?
Only fools do that!
Get ejected and give your opponent free throws, smart people never do that!
Against a team with superstars, such penalties will definitely occur.
It's just a matter of time or sooner.
As a head coach, you must be mentally prepared!
Winning is the last word!
When you win, your farts taste good!
Now yelling about technical fouls will only add more laughter to the opponent's locker room once they lose.
Seeing Deng Fang acting so calmly, Prince also calmed down.
He knew that Deng Fang was putting pressure on the referee.
Although he was called for a defensive foul, the referee had something in mind.
If there is a similar action in the future, the referee will definitely be more cautious when blowing the whistle.
Fortunately, although Prince was awarded a defensive foul, the referee did not give James a free throw.
James was very dissatisfied and repeatedly asked the referee for free throws.
The referee calmly explained: You were passing the ball, not a layup.
To be honest, whether the offensive player wants to lay up or pass the ball often depends on the referee's subjective judgment.
This is also a place used by referees to find balance.
From here, it seems that they still want to show some face...
The game continues.
The Warriors' offense is still Curry's off-ball movement.
The Cavaliers' two big men are slow to fill positions, which is their weakness.
Then take advantage of this!
The head coach of the Cavaliers is Mike Brown, and his defensive skills are quite good.
Mike Brown knows everything about the Warriors revolves around Curry.
So before the game, he told the team many times:
You can lose the team battle, but Curry must die!
Everyone should pay attention to Curry's movement!
Of course, Mike Brown is not stupid either.
As long as Curry is restricted, 80% of the game will be won.
Therefore, when Curry runs around people, most of the Cavaliers' attention is on Curry.
Deng Fang is very familiar with Mike Brown.
He also knows that the Warriors' nine-game winning streak will definitely attract the attention of every team in the league.
So some conventional tactics will be changed.
I spent most of my time focusing on Curry.
Now it's time to make a slight change.
Lopez set a screen for Curry, and then he came to the three-point line.
The Cavaliers changed defense in a timely manner. Anthony Parker defended in front of Lopez, while Mo went to chase Curry.
Azubuike stood in front of Xiao Mo with a tacit understanding.
The continuous screens made the Cavaliers' defense chaotic.
However, their principles are still very strong.
Anyone can let it go, Curry must watch it!
So James immediately substituted someone to cover Curry.
Unexpectedly, Azubuike returned to the basket as soon as he finished the screen.
It was Xiao Mo who was guarding him at this time!
The weakest link in the Cavaliers' defense!
No matter in terms of height or strength, Xiao Mo is much worse than Azubuike.
The fact is that Xiao Mo not only has poor physical fitness, but also has poor defensive awareness.
Azubuike ran to the basket, and Xiao Mo didn't step forward to interfere at all.
That's not the person I'm guarding against!
I can't guard him when he gets to the basket!
I’m going to chase Curry!
So when Azubuike got to the basket, there was no one around him!
Prince was waiting for this moment, and he immediately passed the ball.
Azubuike caught the ball and made a dunk.
James, who wanted to come back to make up defense, could only watch helplessly as Azubuike dunked.
On the offensive end, he has to attack the city, and on the defensive end, he has to keep wiping people's butts. James is also helpless.
The Cavaliers have too many defensive loopholes, especially against a lineup like the Warriors with one big and four small players.
Everyone has a three-pointer, and the space on the court is extremely wide.
This is fatal for a lineup with two big men inside.
That's what knights are like.
It's too late to rely on James alone to make up the defense.
Especially when everyone's attention is on Curry alone.
Looking back is the Cavaliers' offense.
James continued to hold the ball at the top of the arc. This time James was much smarter and asked JJ Hickson to come up and cover him.
In this case, Prince, who is guarding Hickson, must come to the top of the arc and cannot cover up.
In addition, Hickson also added a small move when covering the screen, holding Laga Bell with his hand.
In this way, it will be difficult for Lagabel to chase him out in time.
It's okay to let James shoot, but it's not okay to let him do shooting training with too much open space.
After all, he is also an NBA superstar!
There is no interference at all, and James' shooting percentage can still be guaranteed.
Prince had to switch to defend in front of James.
Lagabell also followed Hixon to the side.
James dribbled the ball and swayed quickly from side to side, and Prince moved with him.
Lagabell defends well, Prince defends better!
Especially when guarding James.
He swayed left and right two or three times but couldn't shake Prince away, so James became a little anxious.
Compared to Prince, James does not have an advantage in speed.
There was no other way, James took the bow again, made a feint, bowed his head, and secretly pushed Prince hard with his left hand protecting the ball.
This is a trick that many ball handlers are very good at using.
The referee will make a profit if he doesn't catch it!
Caught?
Then be willing to admit defeat!
But for James, there is generally no second option!
James' power is not given in vain!
Prince’s defensive experience is not just for boasting!
What is defensive experience?
That is knowing when to hit the top and when to fall to the ground.
To put it bluntly, it's acting.
Prince is a battle-hardened veteran.
James pushed and Prince fell to the ground!
Although it was a secret push, the referee was right in front of me!
As long as your eyes are not blind, you can still see, right?
Let’s see if you can do it this time!
If it hadn't been for that moment, Prince might not have dared to fall down so easily.
But this is the second time!
I don’t believe it, why don’t you brag?
However, Prince was wrong again!
Watching Prince fall to the ground, the referee had no reaction!
James curled up his lips with a proud smile on his face.
Baby, fight with me?
Don’t even look at who we are!
The brand of the alliance!
A favorite in the eyes of the referee!
Send me off and the audience won’t do anything!
However, these were all things that happened in a blink of an eye. James' movements with his feet were not slow at all, "shaking" Prince and then rushing straight to the basket.
There's no way you guys can help with defense this time, right?
Prince and Laga Belle are behind him.
Lopez is so slow!
Is it useful for Curry to come over?
Azubuike…
Hey, that’s not right! Azubuike, aren’t you guarding Anthony Parker outside?
Seeing Azubuike suddenly appearing in front of him, James was mad again!
