I really just want to lie down and win

Chapter 231 The First Battle Begins

Chapter 231 The Third Battle Begins

The zero-to-two deficit and the gloating of the news media made James, who entered the playoffs for the first time, understand what pressure is. In the historical space, the Cavaliers played against the Wizards in this round. This side is strong, but their defense is flattering and can't keep up with the Magic, so James only took six games to eliminate the Washingtonians. Now the opponent of the Cavaliers has become the Magic. Rocky played against James in two games. None of the matchups were at a disadvantage. Although James' shooting percentage was not limited badly, the Magic won both away games, which is too critical for Orlando.

In the third game, all 17000 seats in the Waterhouse Center were filled, and three commentators from ESPN also came, Mike Breen, Hubie Brown, Bill Walton, the red giant were guests, and the other two were ESPN postseason Game commentary.

"This game is an urgent battle for the Cavaliers. If they win, they still have a chance, but if they lose, they will probably be swept out."

Cavaliers players understand what Bill Walton said, so this is the reason why James is under a lot of pressure. James has never been a strong spiritual existence. Generally, in times of headwinds, what he thinks about is how to win with the team instead of How to help the team win like a lone hero.

In the previous game, Rocky's unreasonable three-pointers and steals in the fourth quarter were performances like a lone hero. James thought he would not do that, because the fault tolerance rate was too low, in case of failure , everything is over, but Loki dares.

The starting lineups of the two sides remained unchanged. Ten people lined up on the field in turn. The Happy Beast continued to get the ball over Ilgauskas. Even better, Warcraft can average 15 points and 12 rebounds per game, while Ilgauskas only has 10 points and 5 rebounds. Of course, the fifth position is not the most exaggerated, the most exaggerated is the fourth position, Millici Odd can get 12 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 block in the playoffs, while Drew Gooden has 5 points, 3 rebounds and 1 block.

The data of the Cavaliers' starting No. [-] is really not much different from that of the substitute insider Marshall, but in order to have an extra scoring point on the bench, Bread can't bring that guy Marshall up, but this Drew Gooden is really not an ordinary pit, zero The success rate of the draft in the second year can only be described in two words - dismal.

Except for Yao Ming, Stoudemire, Butler, and Boozer, the other rookies have lower limits one by one, and Butler is currently far away from his peak period. Yao Ming left Houston and Tom Clayton. The veterinarian is estimated to reach the pinnacle.

So Milicic and the insiders of the Magic like to play against Drew Gooden. Although this guy's style of play looks fierce, it is just a paper tiger.

Eric Snow went to the frontcourt and continued to hand the ball to James. However, Rocky's defense at the beginning gave Snow a difficult problem-he defended James from the outside, and he had sufficient confidence in his defense. And he also looked down on Snow's passing. Snow was actually a point guard like Lao Yu. They could only control the ball and expect them to control the rhythm of the game.

Snow can only pass the ball to Larry Hughes, who catches the ball and lets Gooden on the inside line to the top of the arc to cover himself. Stephenson wants to go around this screen, but although Drew Gooden looks different, he is the last At least the body is thick enough. Rocky didn't switch defenses. He was still pestering James. The Cavaliers faced Turkoglu at the second position. Larry Hughes made a step and a half-turn and completed a layup, but Milicic He was delayed for a layup, the ball missed the rebound and was grabbed by the Yugoslavs. He passed the ball to Rocky, who still slammed it to his teammate running forward, and the counterattack was completed again.

In the last game, Turkoglu and Stephenson scored double by counterattack.And the Magic counterattacked at the beginning of the game, which the Cavaliers didn't want to see.

"Loki is so smart. He actually went around to deal with LeBron. If LeBron doesn't catch the ball, the Cavaliers' offensive threat will be minimized. At this time, other players must stand up."

Mike Breen could only admire in his heart. Hubie Brown, the old-school head coach, didn't speak. His face was very tight. If James only relied on one round to defend, then he didn't deserve Stern's efforts to cultivate him. James didn't wait for Snow to reach the frontcourt, so he forcibly squeezed in front of Rocky into the interior. Snow chose to pass the ball when he reached the frontcourt. James received the ball, drifted directly to the far end of the interior and threw the ball away. Go out, the ball goes in.

This ball is indeed a shadow of the master of mid-range shooting. It seems that James’ shooting feels good today. He was also watching from the side. Rocky didn't pass the ball, and the opponent didn't double-team. He wouldn't pass the ball. He switched the ball to his right hand and forced a breakthrough from the right side. James blocked it with his unicorn arm, and Rocky stepped back. , changed the ball back to his left hand, a European step, James hesitated, because in the previous game, Rocky liked to use the European step followed by a retreat step to shoot, so James directly grabbed the ball.

But Rocky did not retreat but continued to move forward. An extremely quick change in front of his body passed James. Facing Drew Gooden who came to defend, Rocky threw the ball to the basket. Duang, Howard Without taking off much, he pressed the ball into the basket.

"It's a pity, LeBron is in a hurry, he is too afraid of Loki's shooting, and Loki seems to have seen this, so he used a breakthrough, it is really a smart play." Two Luo Chuan Over there, you said something, and I said something, so Hubby Brown was caught in the middle and was very depressed.

James is more depressed than Hubie Brown. If he can't lock Rocky in this game, then the Cavaliers will never win.

James still didn't wait for Snow to come over, he wanted to squeeze into the inside, but Rocky learned to be smart this time, he won't push you so hard and give you a chance to break through, but this also gave James time to get the ball, James took off the moment he got the ball, Rocky also jumped up, James ignored Rocky, he hung the ball to the right 45 degrees, Larry Hughes was unguarded in that position, the latter got The ball cuts directly from the baseline for a dunk.
