Chapter 168 Super Treatment
Unable to guard Curry without the ball, Mike Brown had to call a timeout.
After the timeout, the Cavaliers defended Curry's off-ball movement much better.
Because the Cavaliers came up with their ultimate move: James defends Curry!
People chasing Curry are always blocked easily. An important reason is that Anthony Parker is not strong enough.
It would be much better for James to chase Curry.
Even if Lopez blocks James, he can easily squeeze through.
If you can't squeeze in, you'll hit!
Anyway, the referee won’t call it easily!
The first person in the league!
Do you dare to blow the whistle casually?
Do you still want to hang out in the league?
Of course, Anthony Parker can also force his way through.
But he is light in weight and not strong enough, so he cannot squeeze through even if he wants to.
If you make too big a move, you can easily be called for a foul.
So letting James defend Curry is the best choice.
But this is a huge challenge to James' physical strength.
After all, he still has to shoulder most of the tasks on the offensive end.
Xiao Mo is a fake point guard, and most of the ball rights are still in James' hands.
Of course, this is also the inevitable fate of all point guards around James.
It has to be said that James' physical fitness is indeed incredible.
Especially James at this time.
Young, self-disciplined, and in good health, there is no problem with physical strength even if he plays the whole game!
James defended himself, and it suddenly became difficult for Curry to find good shooting opportunities by running without the ball.
But the Warriors can still play pick-and-roll.
The pick-and-roll between Lopez and Curry has been tried and tested.
No matter how good James' defense is, there is nothing he can do to prevent this.
Double-team Curry?
Then Big Lopez can do whatever he wants!
Switch defense?
Then I guess O'Neal will be driven crazy by Curry!
The only way is to pursue and defend.
Once the person pursuing the defense is blocked, it will be in trouble.
The Cavaliers asked James to guard Curry to prevent this.
Because it's difficult for James to be completely blocked.
Because he has strength, speed, and dares to hit!
However, after all, Lopez is still a center, and his size is there!
Even if Lopez didn't completely block James, he would always be slow.
It only takes 0.3 seconds for Curry to shoot.
Just slow down for a moment and that’s enough time!
Therefore, the pick-and-roll with Lopez can still create shooting opportunities for Curry.
It's just that the chances are worse than before.
After all, James has height and bounce.
Even if he is blocked for a moment, his height and bounce can affect Curry's shooting.
James is not Anthony Parker. Who knows if he has been blocked?
Who knows if James' jump will block his own shot?
As long as you worry, James' defense will work.
In short, James defended himself, and Curry's shooting was still somewhat affected.
However, this result is nothing more than Curry's shooting returning from perfect accuracy to normal.
The three-point shooting percentage dropped from 50% to 40%, which is just as scary!
Fortunately, although they couldn't guard Curry, the Cavaliers' offense was much better than last time.
They are very well prepared.
O'Neal had enough physical strength when he first came up. He made several kills in the paint and scored 5 free throws.
The physical old Shark is still a big threat, and it is a bit difficult for Lopez to defend himself alone.
In addition, James scored 4 points with a sudden layup, and he also scored 4 points with a good shooting touch.
Coupled with Mo Mo and Anthony Parker's three-pointers, the Cavaliers' score was not widened by much.
The first quarter lasted 8 minutes, the Cavaliers were 3 points behind, and Mike Brown called a timeout.
After the timeout, O'Neal and JJ Hickson went to rest, and Big Z Ilgauskas and Varejao came on.
Big Z's defense is the same as O'Neal's, and his movement speed is very slow.
But Curry should go down to rest, and there won’t be much problem with Big Z on the court.
In addition, Big Z does not occupy much possession of the ball offensively and relies more on mid-range shots to score.
This is even better than O'Neal.
Because this is more conducive to James getting assists!
The ball was in O'Neal's hands, the goal had nothing to do with James, and the pass and the shot were not an assist from James!
Such a center will never be able to work with James so happily!
Varejao is good defensively, chooses his positions well, moves actively, thinks quickly, and is a good at drawing offensive fouls.
For the Warriors, Curry went to rest, and Livingston, DeAndre Jordan and others came on the court.
James remains on the court.
It can be seen that the Cavaliers attach great importance to this game. In order to win, James will play the whole game.
Deng Fang also saw it.
So Deng Fang didn't play Anthony Morrow, but left Azubuike on the court.
At the beginning, Laga Bell defended James, but now it is replaced by Azubuike.
No matter which one of the two is facing James, they are both a little short and light.
But Lagabel and Azubuike were very hard-working defensively and their pace was fast enough.
James' shooting isn't very good anyway, just take a step back to prevent him from breaking through!
Although James took the initiative and forced a breakthrough and drew a few fouls, it all depends on the referee's face.
But I’ll give you one whistle or two, whether you want to blow it or not. I can’t always give it to you, right?
You don’t have to have face, but you have to have a job!
The audience is not all fools!
Once the referee didn't give the whistle, James became angry.
Although James scored 8 points earlier, Laga Bell's defense still made him upset.
Want to swoop in?
no way!
Even if you force your way in, I will pull you down!
Don’t even think about two plus one!
If you want to commit a foul, commit it hard!
I will make you afraid next time you see me!
Lagabell's defense was fierce, and Azubuike's defense was even more deadly.
I don’t have as much experience as Laga Bell, so is my body not as good as his?
No matter how you say it, you are 7 years younger!
And defense inherently depends more on positivity.
As long as you dare to fight hard and are not afraid of getting tired, then there will be no problem.
What Azubuike lacks most is positivity!
In fact, whenever they encounter James, the Warriors players work hard.
Because they all know that Deng Fang doesn't like James.
Do Warriors players want to stay?
think!
At least we have to finish this season!
The Warriors have a good chance of winning the championship this season!
Even if you want to leave, you have to wait until you win the championship before leaving!
Then the value will be much higher!
And who has the final say on whether he can stay or not?
Deng Fang!
Who does Deng Fang dislike?
James!
This is enough!
Knowing this, anyone who doesn't know what to do when encountering James is a fool!
It's okay to be lazy at ordinary times, but you must express yourself well today!
The experienced Laga Bell gave James a headache before, but now Azubuike is coming up and still gives James a headache!
Even Belinelli, the Warriors' defensive black hole, came over to cover the defense like he was desperate!
Don’t worry about whether you are on guard or not, at least the momentum is still very powerful!
The look on his face that looks like death is clearly saying: If you have the guts, hit me!
It's better if you hurt me!
We are not afraid!
James is going crazy!
This doesn’t allow anyone to live!
Just play ball, why bother!
