I took away the emperor zhan - Chapter 239
The third game of the playoffs is very important for the Pacers. After losing this game, they can basically prepare to go home for fishing. In NBA history, there has never been a team that reversed when it was 3-0 behind.
So Rick Carlisle gave the Pacers a dead order. They must win the game. Whether they go on the court to attack hard or bite defense, in short, they must win.
Before the game, when James played, the home fans booed him.
“LeBron, you can’t take a victory here!”
“We will certainly let you taste the taste of losing the game. Hurry and grab your tail and roll home!”
“The Indiana Pacers will win! Win! ”
“Garbage Cavaliers, garbage LeBron!”
“We will crush you completely!”
……
James shook his head, spread his hands to the fans, shrugged and responded with a look of contempt.
At the beginning of the game, the starting lineup of both sides remained unchanged.
Little O’Neill won big Z in the jump ball, and the Pacers led the attack.
Anthony Johnson took the ball across the half court and gave it to Reggie Miller on the right flank.
Tony Allen stepped forward a little slower. Miller pulled up and projected three points. The basketball was very stable and hollow into the net to help the Pacers take the lead in scoring.
The fans at home cheered loudly.
“Yes, just play like this, always play like this, we can win!”
“Miller, kill them with your three-point shot!”
“We want the Miller moment to reappear!”
……
When the Cavaliers attack, Paul advances with the ball, takes the ball through the half court and gives the ball to James on the right flank. James takes the ball close to Stephen Jackson and breaks through to the basket.
When James broke through, there were boos everywhere.
Jackson glided close to him and held his hands high, ready to cover his hand at any time.
Under the basket, James took off and Jackson held his hands high and pressed down.
James’s body hit Jackson. When he fell, he threw the basketball up. The basketball was thrown high and was falling into the net.
James, who scored the goal, raised his finger to his lips and made a sound ban to the fans at the scene in response to the previous boos.
Anthony Johnson pushed forward with the ball. After bringing it over, he met Paul and broke through, but Paul broke the basketball with his eyes and hands.
Paul rushed down with the ball to the right flank and saw that James had slipped under the basket.
He took off, passed the ball over his head with both hands, and accurately transported the basketball to James.
James took off to catch the ball, then buckled his back with both hands and slammed the basketball into the basket.
Bang, very cruel, the strength of the muscle is integrated with the trembling of the basket.
The boos on the scene were a lot less unconsciously.
Jackson received the ball in the high position, took the ball and hit James on the back. After his exploratory step, he put the ball, turned, turned over and made a jump shot, and scored the ball in front of James.
After scoring the goal, he pulled his shirt and roared a few times, which was a bad breath he had been holding in his chest.
Since this series of games, he has been suppressed by James and suffocated.
You know, he can be regarded as an all-star player, although he has never been selected as an All-Star.
But Wu Sheng already holds a championship ring in his hand. James is just a junior in front of him. How can he stand such arrogance.
What’s more, today is a battle of life and death for the Pacers. If we lose this game again, we can really go home and fish.
So he caught the chance and scored the goal in front of James. Naturally, he was happy.
But he just roared out. The Cavaliers had served and played a quick counterattack.
James quickly pushed the ball to the front court and attracted the attention of two or three Pacers. He continued to rush towards the inside at high speed. Shaquille O’Neal and dale Davis caught it. It’s really impossible for James to easily hit the basket and score.
But James’s ball was not a layup. He took off in the air and attracted all the defensive attention. After that, he passed the ball around his waist with both hands without looking at people and gave it to Randolph on the other side. Randolph caught the ball and slammed his hands.
This cooperation was not easy. At that moment, no one was defending Randolph. All the players under the Pacers basket went to attack James.
It can also be seen that James’s offensive threat is really terrible.
Reggie Miller took the ball on the left flank and forced Tony Allen after dribbling under the hip.
Tony Allen was bypassed by him and had to chase behind him.
Reggie Miller started the layup. Tony Allen had no choice but to pull his hand, hoping to stop Miller’s layup, but it was useless. Miller still scored the ball, resulting in Tony Allen’s foul and extra penalty.
The Pacers played very hard at the beginning of the game, played very firmly at the offensive end, and all kept scoring.
The advantage of home combat is still very big for the team.
The two sides have been deadlocked, and the score rises alternately.
After the first quarter, the Pacers led the Cavaliers by 3 points. The fans on the scene were very excited. You know, in the first two games, they were pressed by the Cavaliers at the beginning. It’s really good to take the lead in the first quarter. As long as they can continue to maintain until the end of the game, they can win the battle of life and death.
In the second quarter, after advancing with the ball, he gave the ball to James, who was high on the right. James took the ball with his back to Stephen Jackson and attracted Reggie Miller’s defensive attention.
James turned around with the ball, which made Jackson nervous. Does the boy want to turn around and make a jump shot? You have to guard against him all the time.
But James didn’t want to turn around and shoot, but after observing the ball to him, Paul’s empty cut position under the basket. When he saw that Paul had cut in from the middle, he passed the ball from his shoulder and back to Paul with both hands. Paul received the ball and layup and scored easily.
Looking back, Reggie Miller threw the ball at Tony Allen, then threw the board high and scored the basketball.
At the critical moment, the veteran of the Pacers still played a very important role in fixing the sea god needle.
When the Cavaliers attacked, Paul pushed the ball from the left and gave it to James who rushed to the middle. James took the ball and walked straight under the basket. Dale Davis quickly raised his hands and stopped on the way towards James, trying to make James an offensive foul.
Just James dodged him with a jump step, dodged under the basket and buckled the basketball into the basket with one hand.
Not many people can guard against his breakthrough layup.
In the past, he only completely controlled James’s body, and few people can stop him by relying on his body for layup. Now he also has Alston’s dribbling, the rhythm of the time Lord sledgehammer, and his hard training, which makes his layup skills even more perfect. It’s not the way he used to rely on his body to crush his opponent for layup, Is more difficult to stop.
We should know that after all the basic basketball skills can be practiced, these can be used together.
For example, after all kinds of clever dribbling, you can pass or lay up,
For example, there is a sense of rhythm in dribbling, as well as in passing and layup,
In Nash’s various passing skills, there are all kinds of fake moves to confuse the opponent, including the discovery of passing vision, etc. can these things really only be used for passing? No, in fact, they can be transformed into direct attack. For example, after passing, the fake moves are not passed, but direct shots.
And so on, combined with James’s strong physical quality, he can play these copied or lottery war skills with greater power than the original war skill owner.
Like Capono’s three-point shooting skills, if you exert physical confrontation against Capono, the shooting percentage may be greatly affected, but what about James? That’s not necessary. James’s physical quality and confrontation ability are all there. When there is confrontation, the shot can still ensure a high hit rate.
Like Nash’s passing organization, thanks to James’s height and physical quality, his field vision will be more open. Combined with Alston’s dribbling skills, he can surpass Nash’s performance.
The same is true for the defensive end. For the same reason, under James’s physical talent, combining various basketball skills will only make his defense better.
This is also the fundamental reason why he plays more and more easily.
When the Pacers attacked, Reggie Miller came with the ball, went inside and stuffed the basketball into O’Neill, who dunked the ball and scored.
James caught the ball outside the three-point line at a 45 degree angle on the right. He raised the ball and shook it falsely, attracting Jackson to jump forward, and then put the ball under the basket.
Jackson quickly retreated and stood in front of James with O’Neill Jr. and dale Davis under the Pacers’ basket.
James received the ball as he moved forward, raised it and shook it to the left as if he were going to pass it to the left.
The three of the Pacers’ eyes couldn’t help but be attracted by his action. Looking to the left, their bodies couldn’t help shaking over there.
But James immediately pulled back, as if he was going to lay up from the middle. The three defenders realized that the pass was a fake, so they quickly closed their body shaking to the left and wanted to come back to prevent James’s lay up.
But James’ layup is still fake!
After a swing, he passed the basketball to the right and gave it to Tony Allen. Tony Allen took the ball for a layup and scored easily.
James’s whole action is very long, but it’s actually a moment. He finished the whole action very consistently and played the defenders in front of him all over.
Capono on the side of the court is crazy waving a white towel and shouting and dancing.
“Boss, this pass is really wonderful! That’s cool! ”
Of course, it was cool. After James sent out the ball, the fans at the home of the Pacers were quiet for a moment. Those boos seemed to disappear all at once and were closed in the throats of the fans.
“I’m afraid LeBron is not a monster. His muscles are so big, but he can have a super thin hand? Oh, my God! How can we combine all this so well that there is no sense of disobedience! ”
“It’s really strong! Very strong! Super strong! Alas, it’s too difficult for us to meet such a guy and the team led by him! ”
“Our luck is really bad! First he was punished by the league, Artest was suspended, and he met the Cavaliers in the playoffs. ”
“I was suddenly a little sad and felt that it was difficult for us to have the hope of reversing success.”
“Me too…”
When the fans at the scene felt sad, the Pacers made a mistake in their attack. Reggie Miller wanted to pass into the inside line and give O’Neal’s ball, which was intercepted by James.
James ran with the ball, braked outside the three-point line, then stopped and pulled up his shot.
In the eyes of chasing Stephen Jackson and Reggie Miller, the basketball spun back, slid to the basket and finally fell into the net.
Anthony Johnson gave the ball to Dale Davis. Davis lay up under the basket, but Randolph defended it. Big Z grabbed the rebound and quickly spread the basketball forward to Paul who had rushed to the center circle. Paul didn’t stop and threw the ball to James who was a few steps away from the front three-point line.
James was facing his back to the front basket at this time. He didn’t make any pause. He jumped up and put Paul’s basketball in the air towards the basket behind him. He gave it to Tony Allen who ran to the basket. Tony Allen caught the ball and lay it up.
It was another wonderful counter attack, and the attack speed was too fast.
From the time when he grabbed the backboard in the backcourt, the basketball has reached the basket after three passes, and there is no stagnation at all.
This ball made the off court substitutes of the Pacers who just stood up to cheer up their teammate Dale Davis to attack under the basket very depressed.
Chum, how can I beat it? The Cavaliers are playing like an All-Star game. It’s like playing. This kind of cooperation has been close to fancy cooperation, which is very rare. However, there are many such passing cooperation in the Cavaliers’ attack.
The players of the Pacers couldn’t help shaking their heads and sighing. Their coach Rick Carlisle was helpless, stroking his forehead with his hand and sighing in his heart why he didn’t have a player like James? If you can coach James, it should be easy to win.
After this ball, the Pacers’ defense and attack gradually collapsed. Before, they could bite the Cavaliers and even steal a bit of lead. But now, at the beginning, they broke down, just like the cave of the dike. They were soon defeated by the tide of attack of the Cavaliers.
Finally, the Cavaliers beat the Pacers 111-94 away, and the big score came to 3-0. It was within reach to advance to the second round.
In this game, James sent 36 points, 7 rebounds, 13 assists, 2 blocks and 3 steals.
Paul got 16 points and 9 assists, Randolph got 21 points and 12 rebounds, and big Z got 13 points and 7 rebounds.
For the Pacers, Shaquille O’Neal got 16 points and 11 rebounds, Stephen Jackson got 18 points and 3 assists, and Reggie Miller got 19 points and 3 assists.
