Gilbert Arenas still made a perfect shot. He didn't make any shots, but there was just one more mistake on the technical statistics sheet.
Therefore, he is confident that he can still continue his excellent touch.
But after the attack in the last round, Arenas had to start paying attention to Lin Yu's defense. He remembered Lin Yu who was still with the Celtics last season.
At that time, Lin Yu also defended Arenas in a panic.
"It's too much pretense..."
Arenas realized this. During the Wizards' offensive round, he shut up his chatter and started playing without the ball. Lin Yu was also a little surprised by his serious look.
Lin Yu followed Arenas' footsteps, but within two seconds, he was sideways blocked by Etan Thomas.
Immediately afterwards, Lin Yu could only stand there, watching helplessly as Arenas caught the ball and decisively made a mid-range shot.
Whoosh!
"Wonderful off-the-ball movement, Gilbert Arenas got rid of China Lin's defense through the screen of his teammates. He successfully hit a mid-range shot, and the consecutive scoring record reached 15 points. He continued to run rampant.
!”
After scoring a goal, Gilbert Arenas started to show off. After scoring the goal, he raised his left and right hands, one with one finger, and the other with five fingers.
This means it couldn't be more obvious. He has already scored 15 points, and he has scored 15 points consecutively.
Except for the accident (steal) just now, Arenas is obviously still in a state of rage, and can even be called a super god.
"Gilbert Arenas' celebration means that he has scored 15 points in a row, 15 points in a single quarter, and the score is still rising. In such a game, I think of the Cavaliers' first two games this season.
"
"Larry Hughes, who also started, dug the hole, and China Lin, who came on the bench, was responsible for filling the hole. When playing against the Rockets, China Lin successfully completed the hole filling, but when playing against the Spurs, China Lin tried his best and still failed to fill the hole.
…”
"As for this game, it seems that the direction of the game is a bit similar to the game between the Cavaliers and the Spurs. Gilbert Arenas has been unstoppable."
On the sidelines, Mike Brown is not so anxious yet, because the Cavaliers' deficit is only 7 points, which is still within the acceptable range for the time being.
Moreover, Lin Yu still had a steal against Arenas, which means that Arenas is not undefendable.
However, Mike Brown needs to remind the defensive and assisting players on the court.
"LeBron, cover up faster!"
After Lin Yu was blocked by the screen, it was LeBron James who needed to defend and assist. LeBron James made an OK gesture toward the sidelines, admitting that the ball was his problem.
Then returning to the offensive end, James immediately made up for his mistake. He used an unstoppable breakthrough to drive past DeShawn Stevenson's defense, get to the basket, and hit a layup.
At 17:22, the point difference narrowed to 5 points.
The Wizards have the ball, and it's Gilbert Arenas who controls the ball.
This time, he was still very serious, facing Lin Yu's defense without saying a word. It seemed that Arenas had understood the truth that it is safest to show off after scoring a goal, and he would never be slapped in the face.
Arenas controlled the ball and kept shaking it. A fake test step that could no longer be fake obviously couldn't get rid of Lin Yu's defense.
Then Arenas made another lateral move and another tentative step.
Lin Yu still didn't move, but Arenas seized this opportunity and turned his fake action into a real action. He took a step forward and then shot directly.
Lin Yu surprisingly moved forward, waving his long arms, leaving Arenas no room to take action.
Arenas had already raised the ball above his head. He collected the ball again, shook it, added a step back, and then took action.
"Gilbert Arenas' step-back three-pointer, China Lin's defense is impeccable!"
boom!
The basketball hit the edge of the basket and bounced high.
"No goal, China Lin used an almost perfect defense to end Gilbert Arenas' scoring streak!"
Amid the cheers at Quicken Loans Arena, LeBron James took advantage of Big Z's position to grab a rebound.
On the sidelines, Mike Brown applauded very happily. After defending this ball, the situation on the court has stabilized. In the next offensive round, James broke through again and distributed the ball to the wing. Drew Gooden hit the ball.
A mid-range shot.
19:22, 3 points difference, only one ball left.
In the Wizards' offense, Arenas just missed a shot, but he still persisted in individual singles. After scoring 15 points in a row, he only missed a shot. He had no reason to end his rampage by himself.
But Lin Yu's defense on this shot was still impeccable and did not give Arenas any chance to easily start shooting.
Arenas is a scorer very similar to Kobe. He would rather shoot 0 for 30 than 1 for 5.
Therefore, he directly stood up against Lin Yu's defense.
Then there was no suspense about the heavy iron...
"Gilbert Arenas' two-game streak, his runaway state has been completely ended by China Lin."
Kenny Smith in the commentary box was a little emotional: "Even if he changes to another team, China Lin is still the outside iron gate in our impression!"
After defending the next ball, the Cavaliers grabbed the rebound and launched a counterattack. Lin Yu was in charge of the ball. Now he can effectively attract the defense as long as he controls the ball on the outside.
When the court formed a pattern of more and less, Lin Yu controlled the ball and rushed to the three-point line in the frontcourt. He immediately received the bonus of Lin You's gravity, and all three defensive players of the Wizards retreated to pounce on him.
Lin Yu also seized the opportunity and passed the ball to Damon Jones on the wing.
Damon Jones opens his hand and shoots, blah!
"Three points!"
"The ball went in and the Cleveland Cavaliers tied the score!"
Damon Jones hit a three-pointer that tied the score. Of course, everyone knew that Lin Yu, who attracted all the defense, was the biggest contributor.
Quicken Loans Arena was filled with cheers, screams and shouts. After digging a huge hole for 10 points in the opening game, Lin Yu came on the stage and quickly and successfully filled the hole.
After the first quarter, Lin Yu, who made a difference to the Cavaliers at a speed visible to the naked eye after his debut, helped the Cavaliers gain a 4-point lead.
This also means that in just the first quarter of the game, Lin Yu's plus-minus value was as high as +14 points. Media reporters will not notice this data, which is a bit unbiased compared to 2006.
However, coaches will pay special attention to this data during the game, because the real-time plus and minus values can help them intuitively find problems on the field.
"Brendan, what do you think we should do?"
Mike Brown can tolerate one game to give Larry Hughes, who is performing poorly, some time to find his form and improve his statistics, but he cannot bear to lose points like crazy in every game because of Larry Hughes, and then develops a big
father.
He knew very well that Lin Yu could not come on as a substitute in every game and nip the big daddy raised by Larry Hughes in the cradle.
Therefore, for the sake of the Cavaliers' record, Mike Brown must make some changes.
"If we must let Larry Hughes play, let's give him some unimportant tasks. Tasks like guarding Gilbert Arenas should be given to LeBron."
Mike Brown nodded: "I'm afraid that's the only way it can be."
