I took away the emperor zhan - Chapter 266
The starting lineup of the Spurs is: point guard Tony Parker, point guard Manu Ginobili, small forward Bruce Bowen, power forward Tim Duncan and center Nazir Mohamed.
The Cavaliers’ starting lineup is: point guard Paul, point guard Tony Allen, little former James, big former Randolph and center Z.
Both sides jumped the ball. Big Z jumped to the ball right with his height advantage, and the Cavaliers led the attack.
Paul pushed with the ball, came to the front court, broke into the right corner, encountered Parker’s defense, and he returned the ball to James at the top of the arc.
As soon as James took the ball, Bowen pasted it.
Buckley said: “there is a grudge between Bowen and LeBron. LeBron was injured when he stepped on Bowen’s foot in the regular season. Now it’s the finals, LeBron has to be careful, but don’t get hurt. ”
Kenny Smith agreed: “yes, if LeBron is injured, the Cavaliers will lose more than half of their strength. It’s difficult to win the Spurs.”
After Paul handed the ball to James, he moved up to cover James and block Bowen.
Parker changed defense against James, James took a step, beat Parker, pushed Parker back, James received the ball, shot from a medium distance, scored, and the Cavaliers scored first.
When the Spurs attacked, Parker brought the ball. Duncan mentioned the high position as a cover for him. Parker flashed in, rushed under the basket with the ball, threw a shot in front of Randolph and returned a ball.
James controlled the ball through the half court and handed the ball to Randolph in the low post. Randolph hit Duncan on his back, just squeezed it in by strength, and then suddenly turned around and hooked up to send the ball into the basket.
Looking back, Ginobili took the ball at the top of the arc, and suddenly Tony Allen took a serpentine step, flashed and twisted, rushed in, shot and entered.
Buckley smiled and said: “Ginobili can advance the basketball with a strange and awkward layup posture. This is a talent that others in the league can’t learn. ”
Kenny Smith nodded and said, “this is the unique talent of Argentines. Before him, I have never seen anyone play like this. His sense of rhythm is really great. ”
James dribbled the ball to the top of the arc and received the ball as if to break through Bowen. Bowen slipped back.
But James gave the ball to Tony Allen on the left flank. Tony Allen picked up the ball and threw three points.
Wade said: “the shooting rate of both sides in this opening is very high!”
Anthony smiled and said, “if you keep hitting so high, it doesn’t look like the finals.”
Walton said: “yes, it is impossible to maintain a high shooting rate under the defensive intensity of the finals.”
While they were talking, a Spurs attack was prevented by the Cavaliers for a 24 second violation.
When the Cavaliers attacked, Paul pretended to pass Parker and hit the ground and passed it to Randolph under the right oblique cut basket. Randolph took the ball and wanted to buckle violently, but Duncan and Mohammed jointly blocked it.
James grabbed the front rebound in the crowd, handed the ball out of the outside line and gave it to Paul.
The Cavaliers reorganized their attack. Paul transferred the ball to Tony Allen on the left flank. Tony Allen hung the ball in to James who asked for the ball against Bowen in the low post.
James took the ball, slammed it down, leaned on Bowen and pushed him back with his body strength. James immediately turned around, wound under the basket, took off and dunked with both hands.
Parker and Duncan played pick and roll in the high position, but they didn’t succeed. Paul pushed them first and continued to chase Parker. Parker dropped the ball to Duncan, and Duncan took the ball in the high position.
Paul hurried to guard against Duncan, otherwise Duncan would be in a high position. Randolph also strode out to guard against Duncan.
Duncan hit the ball to Ginobili who slipped in from the left baseline. Ginobili scored an easy layup with the ball, and made a big Z foul. There are also penalties.
Paul brought the ball to the arc top, forced Parker, attracted the bag clip, threw the ball high to the basket, assisted big Z to eat cake successfully.
Looking back, Parker and Duncan played pick and roll again. After Parker went around, he returned the ball to Duncan. Randolph didn’t come out in time, and Duncan made a high jump shot.
James turned back and played a pick and roll with Paul. After that, he carried Parker to the basket, then stopped and threw the ball easily.
In the first quarter, the two sides fought very hard. Basically, one side scored one, and the other side could return one. The score was very tight.
Popovich first asked for a pause for the tactical arrangement of the team.
The fans cheered for the Cavaliers, and the boos to the Spurs were also deafening.
Barkley said: “at present, the situation on the court is equal. The Spurs and Cavaliers are fighting each other. It depends on whether there will be any new changes after the Spurs come back from this suspension. ”
“Yes, the basketball game is not only a competition between the players on the court, but also a competition between the head coaches of both sides on the sidelines.” Kenny Smith nodded.
“That’s not a big role for the Cavaliers. It seems that this game is still a contest between LeBron and Popovich. ” Buckley joked that this season he has read many reports of James commanding with a tactical board on the sidelines.
“LeBron coach, hahaha… LeBron has even found a job after retirement.” Said Kenny Smith with a smile.
“Not to mention, it is said that many tactics of the Cavaliers now come from LeBron’s suggestions. I think they play very well. It can be seen that LeBron does have the potential to become a good coach. ” Barkley said.
Pause back and the Spurs continue their attack.
Parker took the ball down to the top of the arc and gave it to Duncan, who was high on the right. Duncan played Randolph.
Duncan took the ball as a feeler. After holding the ball, he dribbled, received the ball, threw the ball high on the board and scored.
The Cavaliers attacked, James held the ball on the right flank, and Bowen and Ginobili came immediately.
James dribbled the ball under his crotch, took off, handed the ball to Tony Allen at the bottom corner on the right, and Tony Allen made a three-point jump shot. Duncan saw it and rushed out of the basket.
Bang, the basketball didn’t enter and bounced out of the frame.
Mohammed took the backboard in the backcourt and handed it to Ginobili, who rushed from the backcourt to the front with the ball.
Tony Allen chased him, holding his right hand high against his hand.
Ginobili rushed to the basket and came out again. He couldn’t get rid of Tony Allen and had to turn the ball to Bruce Bowen.
Bowen took the ball. He had a good luck and took off to shoot.
With a slap, James rushed over and slapped his basketball.
