When the Eagles attacked in the second round, Joe Johnson was still resolute in the corner, with a "I'm not involved in the offense" attitude, which put James in a difficult situation.

If he doesn't help with defense, the Hawks will have an absolute advantage in offense on the other side of the court, but if James helps with defense and misses Joe Johnson...

You can try!

Before James hesitated, the Hawks had completed their offense. Paul and Josh Smith's pick-and-roll cooperation was very skillful. Josh Smith easily cut into the basket and scored a dunk. (4:4)

The Cavaliers' offense still has to rely on James alone. The team gave Larry Hughes and Big Z two big contracts during the offseason last summer. As a result, the former did not match James and did not fit in well with the team.

Smooth, I recently suffered an ankle injury and will be out for a while; Big Z has height, low post skills, and shooting ability when pulled out, but he is also fragile and needs to be carefully protected like a giant panda.

Big Z pulled out to set up a pick-and-roll for James. James broke into the basket with the ball, attracted double-teams and then distributed the ball. Big Z caught the ball, faked a shot, took three slow steps to get to the basket, and passed to no one in the corner.

Defending Pavlovich, the latter hit a three-pointer! (4:7)

"Beautiful, the Cavaliers played very patiently in this round of offense. James and Big Z formed a great linkage, disrupting the Eagles' defense. In this way, outside shooters can get easy shooting opportunities." Zhang Lijia.

Praising the Cavaliers' offense in this round.

Pavlovic scored a goal, and the Eagles' baseline ball was quickly pushed forward. Big Z and Gooden rushed back "humming hummingly" and did not allow the Eagles to score a fast break.

However, in positional battles, the Cavaliers' defensive system is still subject to the Hawks' "isolated island tactics". Whoever James defends goes to the bottom corner, and the others form a 4v4 in the other half. Diaw cooperates with Josh Smith to play pass-cut coordination.

The latter attacked the basket head-on, causing a big Z foul.

The Eagles' offense worked one after another, and Zhang Lili saw the key to Key Yan's tactics.

First of all, Joe Johnson's shooting ability is strong enough, forcing James not to let him go. If the Cavaliers use someone else to look at Joe Johnson in the corner in the assist defense, Joe can punish him with his singles ability in isolation;

Secondly, Diaw, as an organizational center, has excellent passing and controlling abilities. His dual-core drive with Paul allows the Eagles to play a smooth offense. Finally, the Eagles still have a backup, Joe Johnson, who has little pressure on both ends of the offense and defense.

Can bring substitutes in the subsequent transition period, and the Eagles' bench firepower is also guaranteed.

The Cavaliers attacked, and the ball was handed to Big Z who wanted the ball in the low post. The Eagles immediately launched a double attack on him. Big Z had a single hand, but his ability to break double teams and his coordination level were average. The Eagles' defense rotation was in place, and the Cavaliers

The attack can only be reorganized when there are 8 seconds left in the attack time.

James beat Posey hard and missed a mid-range jumper. Diaw grabbed an offensive rebound and was about to launch a fast break, but Big Z subconsciously fouled.

This is his second foul!

As a veteran who has been in the league for many years, it is somewhat inappropriate to make this kind of mistake, but it also reflects the tremendous pressure that the Hawks' highly mobile fast break counterattack puts on opponents, especially the center.

Big Z was replaced by Varejao, and he also looked regretful!

As an inside substitute for the Cavaliers, Varejao is more famous than the two starters, not because of his strength, but because of his acting skills. At the same time, he is also James' loyal cavalier (nu), and James has a lot on his back.

A classic tattoo chosen 1, he used a pen to paint a copycat tattoo chosen 2 on his back.

The Cavaliers made passive substitutions, but achieved good results. Varejao is not as capable as Big Z, but he is not as "baby" as Big Z. He is more active and more desperate on the court, throwing himself to the floor desperately!

Josh Smith caught the ball and made a big stride to break through. Varejao made an exaggerated provocation with a mocking look on his face, but stood upright at the moment when they were about to collide. Then there was a shocking "collision". Josh Smith's progress

His feelings were not affected, Varejao bounced out like he was hit by a cannonball, and the referee immediately called an offensive foul.

"..." Josh Smith's eyes widened and he was speechless.

What's terrible is that this is also his second foul!

Both sides took down one of the main players from the opposite side, and it was considered even.

Milicic replaced Josh Smith, and the Eagles had an inside rim protector on the court. On the offensive end, Milicic unexpectedly performed well, not only able to hit hard down the field, but also shoot mid-range shots.

Maybe this is the bond between the 03 golden generation, the number one pick and the second pick~

The Eagles relied on the "island tactic" to have a clear advantage on the court, while the Cavaliers relied on James' performance to hold up the situation. Facing Posey's defense, James could rush into the paint for a long time, whether he was attacking by himself or passing the ball for assists.

Can cause a lot of damage.

Entering the official timeout with a score of 18:16, Ke Yan recognized the players' performance.

Josh Smith's dismissal was a surprise, but Milicic did not let the Eagles' offense decline too much, and the team's offensive firepower is still strong.

Looking back, the Cavaliers can only rely on James for offense. Although on the defensive end, James and Joe Johnson smoked in the corner together, saving a lot of energy, but if this situation continues, the advantage is mine!

As for the Cavaliers, Mike Brown has not been able to come up with a solution to the "isolated island tactic" for the time being. He just told James to try not to cover up the defense. Missing Joe Johnson would be very costly.

The omission of Joe Johnson may be a big problem, but if he continues to be caught and beaten by the Hawks like this, the team can win? James expressed disbelief.

Mutual distrust between players and coaches is a dangerous sign. At the very least, it may result in the loss of a game; at the very least, it may overturn a dynasty!

After the timeout, the Eagles attacked. Paul took the ball to the right 45 degrees and cut inward with his left hand through Snow.

At this time, Diaw ran out from the inside, and Varejao, who was guarding him, immediately followed.

Paul suddenly changed direction, from the left side of Snow's body to the right side, from facing Snow alone to facing Snow and Varejao.

After restraining the Cavaliers' defense, he directly hit the ball with his right hand. The ball passed between Snow and Varejao and came right into the hands of Diaw who had completed his turn.

"Beautiful cooperation. For the Eagles, Paul and Diaw's cooperation looks like a couple. You can know each other's intentions and passing routes with just one look." Zhang Lili said exaggeratedly.

Diaw did not miss the opportunity and easily put the ball into the basket. (20:16)

Among the Hawks, Diaw does not have the best statistics, and his status in the team is almost the third and fourth, but he is the only one besides Paul who has the hope of being promoted to the All-Star.

No way, the positional advantage is too obvious. Joe Johnson's opponents include Carter, Wade, Kidd, etc.; Josh Smith's opponents are not weak either.

Only Diaw, the Eastern All-Star starting center will definitely be O'Neal. For the second man position, Howard, Diaw, and Ben Wallace all have opportunities.

In comparison, Howard and Big Ben are both defensive, and Diaw's style of play is more suitable for performances in the All-Star Game.

With Milicic on the inside who can stand and defend, James' breakthrough is not as smooth as in the opening stage. Ke Yan's defensive plan for James is to give Posey a step of space on the outside and try to entangle him as much as possible, while Milicic on the inside is responsible for filling in.

If James can hit mid-range and long-range shots, he is considered a great player, Ke Yan admits; if James breaks into the paint and can score the ball despite being flanked, it is also a reflection of personal ability. The king of superstars can never be guarded to death; but at least

, Ke Yan wants to reduce the possibility of James driving his teammates.

Varejao pulled out to play a pick-and-roll for James. James singled out Milicic and noticed that Diaw was coming to protect him. James broke through from the left, attracted Diaw's defense and then passed the ball to Gooden, who scored a layup from close range.

.(20:18)

Okay, let’s continue attacking and blasting each other~

Ke Yan shrugged, sincerely envious of James' talent. With his physical fitness and brain, this guy can really be said to be the strongest human being on the surface, the closest to a Saiyan. It's no wonder that a sports forum in later generations of China, every time

During the summer offseason, James was asked to represent humans to fight lions, tigers, and aliens, and return to the Three Kingdoms to help Zhuge Liang unify the world...

"Whoa!" Ke Yan was still thinking about the days when he was browsing the forum, and Joe Johnson had already scored three points.

Yes, James finally lost his composure and was unwilling to pass an ashtray to Joe Johnson in the corner. Faced with Paul who was about to break into the basket, he chose to help defend. As a result, Joe Johnson got an open shot and hit a three-pointer.

.(23:18)

"Beautiful!" Ke Yan clenched his fists excitedly. Joe Johnson's three-pointer was very crucial.

This represents a declaration that if James leaves, he will immediately kill you! This will have a huge psychological impact on the Cavaliers.

Without James to help defend, the Hawks' offense is extremely efficient; if James comes to help with defense, Joe Johnson has an accurate shooting percentage. Isn't this just a choice between two poisonous glasses of wine?

In the next round of offense, the mentality of the Cavaliers players was obviously affected by the defensive end just now. Gooden was still attacking the frame after receiving the ball from James, but failed to hit it due to Paul's interference.

Milicic protected Paul and grabbed backcourt rebounds. He immediately launched a fast break counterattack and went all the way to the frontcourt. He completed a layup and was knocked away by Varejao...

"&...%￥#" Seeing Paul being pushed away by Varejao for a malicious foul, Posey was the first to step forward and pushed Varejao to the ground, cursing, and then Milicic also pushed up.

.

The players from both sides immediately got together in a "melee". At this time, the shortcomings of the Eagles' players' softer personalities were clearly reflected. Joe Johnson was introverted. At this time, he only stepped forward to break up the fight. Diaw, a Frenchman, understood everything, but Milisi

It's strange that he dares to go up to the cow.

The reason why the Hawks did not suffer a big loss in this conflict was mainly because the Cavaliers also had no bad guys. If they encountered opponents like the Pistons and Pacers, the Hawks would definitely suffer.

Seeing this scene in front of him, Ke Yan made a decision, screw the second pick, the deal is cancelled! Posey must stay on the team!

A team must have two strong bones!

Fortunately, Paul knew how to protect himself. When he landed, he fell directly on the photographer. There were flesh pads to help relieve the force, thus avoiding the possibility of more serious injuries.

The matter got serious. Varejao was directly assessed a second-level flagrant foul and was sent off; Posey, the Eagles' first striker, also received a first-level flagrant foul.

Both sides executed technical foul free throws. Ke Yan replaced Diaw with Josh Smith. On the Cavaliers' side, Marshall came on the scene. (26:19)

Marshall is the fourth inside man of the Cavaliers. He is a space-oriented big man and the league's record holder for three-pointers. He once made 12 three-pointers in a game. As soon as he came on the court, he took the ball from James and shot from the outside.

Blacksmithing.

Without Big Z and Varejao, the Cavaliers' interior frame protection has declined significantly. Marshall's three-pointer and rebound position are pretty good. His other skills are average. Paul easily shook him off and hit a floater (28:19)

The point difference widened to 9 points. James couldn't sit still anymore and took the initiative to find Pavlovic and "adjust" the defensive strategy. "Next round, you will be responsible for defending Joe!"

Not to mention whether Pavlovich, whose physical strength is declining, can guard Joe Johnson, who is close to full physical strength. Even if James mainly defends Posey, wouldn't he just squat in the corner?

Pavlovich dared to be angry but did not dare to speak, so he nodded and agreed.

Without Larry Hughes and without Big Z, James dribbled the ball by himself. Marshall came up to set up a pick-and-roll. James smoothly passed Posey and faced Josh Smith. His shoulders shook greatly to avoid the direction of the breakthrough and he passed by forcefully.

Smith was about to take off when his neck suddenly felt cold and he felt something hit his throat. His whole body leaned back and was unconsciously pulled to the ground...

After James completed the breakthrough, Josh Smith threw out his right hand and "decapitated" James from behind, directly knocking the little emperor off his horse.

James was knocked down, and the Cavaliers launched an all-out attack. Not only did the main players rush towards Josh Smith, but also Varejao, Ronald Murray, Damon Jones and others on the bench.

On the court, Josh Smith was instantly surrounded.

"Want to fight?" Eagles players are not good at it. In fact, when teammates are under siege, they have to go up and help anyway. This is an unspoken rule of the league.

Seeing that a large-scale conflict was about to occur, the referee and on-site staff immediately intervened and quickly controlled the situation.

The severe punishment at the Palace of Auburn Hills is still vivid in my mind. The two sides pushed and cursed each other. Fortunately, there was no fist-fight, otherwise it would not have ended well.

The referee cleared the scene and ejected Josh Smith directly. Then he called the head coaches of the two teams together and reminded the two players to control their emotions. This was the last time. If there was another destructive revenge move, he would definitely

If we don't tolerate it, we will recommend to the league to increase the punishment in the referee report after the game.

Mike Brown was unconvinced and continued to chatter to the referee on behalf of James, acting as if he was "defending James' rights" and emphasizing that the Hawks were seeking "malicious revenge"; Ke Yan ridiculed Mike Brown, saying that he wanted to "retaliate with malicious intent" and use key players to commit evil crimes.

?The last water dispenser fucked James a hundred times. This is obviously the Cavaliers' evildoing. Josh Smith couldn't stand it and got carried away for a while.

The quarrel became more intense, and the two coaches almost started fighting. The referee couldn't bear it anymore and gave each a technical foul. The two coaches returned to the coaching bench angrily.

Mike Brown shouted loudly in front of the referee, in fact, just to show to James, I will argue with the referee for you. When the other party started, Ke Yan also had to take over, argue for his players, and downplay Josh Smith's revenge.

, the emphasis is only temporary.

Ke Yan never expected that he, a head coach, would actually accompany Mike Brown to show off his acting skills one day. He could only say that "the one who is close to the best is the best", and Varejao was infected.

The game was suspended for 8 minutes before restarting. Josh Smith's "decapitation" was not light, and it hit a fragile part of the neck. Even James, who is made of steel and iron, couldn't bear it. After being examined by the medical staff, he sat down.

rested on the bench,

James' dismissal broke the balance of the game. The Hawks showed no mercy and pecked the Cavaliers full of holes. At the end of the first quarter, the Hawks led 36:21.

15 minutes.
