No matter how cramped the offensive end is, the defensive end will work harder. Sefolosha pressed James for the whole game, and after returning to his own half, he left him to Joe Johnson. The Hawks once again weaved a big net to target James.

Against the attack of Tucker and Joe Johnson, he got inside and restrained the defense of the three Eagles. James chose to distribute the ball. Joe Smith received the ball from the baseline and shot from mid-range.

Varejao grabbed an offensive rebound and missed the second attack, but caused Anderson's foul.

The actor took a free throw and made one of two free throws. (32:28)

Shannon Brown dribbled the ball past half court, and after stopping the ball, he sought cooperation with Joe Johnson. He made a passing error and was intercepted by James;

James' speed during fast breaks is enough to compete for the first place in history. In two or three steps, he is already two positions ahead of the "pursuing" Hawks players. In this state, James can already consider performing a dunk action.

Got it!

After adjusting his steps, James made a round swing with one arm, preparing to perform a "Tomahawk Clash". This is the longest move James performs, "low difficulty" and "safety".

.

.

.

However, just as James grabbed the basketball with his right hand and swung it behind his head, a hand suddenly pressed firmly on the basketball, stopping James' "show"!

What's even worse is that as the normal force exerted by his wrist was restrained, James, who had jumped into the air, lost his center of gravity. His body unconsciously leaned back, and his hips and back fell heavily to the ground together, and he immediately lay down.

on the ground.

"!

!”

After completing the block, but seeing James being knocked to the ground, Shannon Brown was a little confused for a moment. Instead of changing the offensive and defensive transition of the Cavaliers, he froze in place.

"We are all basketball players, why are we so harsh?" Pavlovich, who was nearest, was the first to rush up and push Shannon Brown to the ground, expressing his dissatisfaction angrily.

"Want to fight?" The Eagles players didn't want to see their teammates being bullied, so they ran over quickly.

After all, it was the stage of the playoffs, so everyone was relatively restrained and basically focused on exchanging blows, and it did not develop into a fist fight.

From the fans, side broadcast shots, and even Ke Yan's side perspectives, they all thought that Shannon Brown's block on James was an extremely bad foul. However, when the close-up shot was shown on the big screen, it could be clearly seen that Shannon

Brown's block was firmly on the ball, and it couldn't be any cleaner.

If James chose a layup or a simple dunk, there was nothing Shannon Brown could do; but he wanted to show off, and was blocked by Shannon Brown.

The shot was blocked cleanly and he did not fight back after being pushed down. Shannon Brown had no problems, while Pavlovich was sentenced to a first-level flagrant foul. As for James, he is worthy of being a "Saiyan" with steel and iron bones. Such a fall

, leaving aside the others, he left the field directly to undergo examination, and at the very least he had to sit on the bench to take it easy. As for him, he returned to the field directly after the timeout, just like a normal person!

Shannon Brown made a free throw, and the ball was still in the hands of the Hawks. The ball returned to Joe Johnson. Tucker came up to play a pick-and-roll for Joe Johnson, and then moved to the outside to shoot a three-pointer and hit it accurately! (36:28)

For a long time, Tucker's 3D attributes were limited to the bottom corners on both sides, and his shots from other angles were not accurate; however, he just received the ball at 60 degrees and shot directly, which really caught James and Joe Smith off guard.

The Cavaliers' offense still revolved around James. In the next round of offense, James broke into the basket, attracted the defense and cleverly distributed the ball. Varejao scored the ball and deceived Anderson into a foul through his superb acting skills.

Anderson was a little annoyed after two consecutive fouls by Varejao. Seeing that things were not going well, Ke Yan replaced him with the experienced P.J. Brown.

This adjustment is a bit of a "misstep". Compared with Anderson, PJ Brown has stronger defensive ability and richer game experience, but his footwork is much worse than Anderson. Not only is his ability to switch defenses worse, but also on the offensive end.

Nothing happened. The Eagles' 5-point lead was quickly filled by the Cavaliers! (40:41)

Seeing that the team's offense was hindered, Ke Yan replaced Paul and Garnett in advance, and the Big Three joined forces to dominate the team's offense.

Controlling the playing time of core players in the regular season and constantly reducing their burdens is to "use good steel on the blade". On the stage of the playoffs, when they need to stand up, they can live up to the trust.

James on the opposite side played the entire first half, and Ke Yan had no intention of "staying on the reserve team" and directly asked Joe Johnson to cooperate with Paul. Garnett played the entire first half, helping the team re-establish a 5-point lead! (

54:49)

The 15 minutes of intermission passed quickly. The two teams returned to the field. Taking advantage of this time to go to the toilet, shop, and eat, the audience also returned to their seats, and the game started again.

The Cavaliers still played with the starting lineup, but the Eagles made some adjustments to the lineup on the field. Anderson replaced Diaw and appeared in the starting lineup in the second half.

The Eagles want to expand their lead, and the Cavaliers want to recover the point difference. The third quarter is bound to be a head-to-head contest.

The Cavaliers took possession of the ball for the first attack of the second half. West used Big Z's pick-and-roll to get past Paul's defense and hit a jumper before his pursuit was in place.

Looking back, Paul and Garnett played a pick-and-roll. This time, Big Z did not stay in the paint, but forced himself up and pounced, delaying Paul's shot, and then switched back with West.

Paul's reaction was also very quick. He took advantage of Big Z's slow footwork and passed the ball to Garnett, who received the ball and immediately walked to the basket.

James made up the position in time, forcing Garnett to stop one step inside the free throw line.

Garnett pushed James, forced a shot, hit the edge of the basket, bounced high, and was protected by Ben Wallace who was recovered to the basket. The Cavaliers took the opportunity to counterattack, and James quickly advanced and hit Battier.

Paul and Paul's defense scored the ball! (54:53)

"drop--"

Just when James returned to half court to high-five his teammates, the whistle sounded. Everyone looked back and saw that it was Ke Yan who called a timeout. At this time, it was only 48 seconds before the start of the second half.

On the Cavaliers' bench, Mike Brown glanced at Ke Yan in surprise. He didn't expect Ke Yan to call a timeout so quickly. This was something completely beyond his cognition.

Calling a timeout at this time doesn't negate his arrangement in the locker room during the halftime break?

But Ke Yan doesn't care about this. Timeouts are used at critical moments. Things like face will naturally be there as long as you win!

Surrounded by everyone, Ke Yan didn't say any nonsense or drink chicken soup. He picked up a marker and started writing on the tactical board.

.

.

The Hawks still have the same problem. Without Diaw, the offensive routine is relatively dead. Paul and Garnett play high pick-and-rolls more than 50% of the time; in the playoffs, their opponent is a strong defensive team like the Cavaliers.

It is easy for opponents to see through and target them!

The same problem is even more serious for the Cavaliers! At least the Hawks don't have any offensive black holes. Anderson's pie-eating ability is definitely at the upper-middle level among blue-collar workers inside; and the Cavaliers' big team...

.

.

But he is a player who can basically go short.

Ke Yan called a timeout, mainly because of the configuration adjustment on the defensive end. He chose to use Anderson to partner Garnett just to limit James. By "strangling" James, the Cavaliers' offensive maintenance was reduced by 50%!

As for Ben Wallace, he is in trouble in most positions. If he fails, he can decisively "cut off the money". This guy's free throw percentage is only about 40%.

After returning from the timeout, players from both sides returned to the court and began to grind out their positions and attack.

The Hawks devoted a lot of defensive resources to James, and the little emperor's offense was not as smooth as in the first half; the Hawks were not easy here, and the Cavaliers' defense was still very flexible.

However, with one against three, even James couldn't withstand the situation of attacking and defending! Under constant wear and tear, James began to have a physical crisis at the end of the third quarter, which was reflected in the fact that he couldn't make breakthroughs on the offensive end;

No more seats!

James' physical fitness is the "barometer" of the Cavaliers' offense and defense. Once his output is compromised, the Cavaliers' offense and defense will have big problems!

Ke Yan seized this opportunity, replaced the exhausted Joe Johnson with Barea, took the initiative to speed up the pace of the game, and launched an aggressive attack on the Cavaliers.

After three quarters, the Eagles led the Cavaliers by 10 points, 82:72!

At the beginning of the last quarter, Mike Brown replaced James, trying to give his disciple 2 to 4 minutes of rest time to recover, but Ke Yan did not tolerate him at all, and used Paul, Barea, Sefolosha, and Batty.

Er, Garnett's lineup will further exert its efforts to defeat the Cavaliers!

The Eagles played with great momentum, and the Cavaliers were losing ground. Mike Brown bet on Barea and Sefolosha's three-point shooting skills, but both of them shot stable outside shooting, helping the Eagles further pull away.

Point difference!

In just two minutes, the point difference had widened to 17 points, and the Cavaliers were in a critical situation. Under the crisis situation, James held his knees and returned to the battle.

In the following games, the Eagles still controlled the situation of the game. The three giants attacked together, suppressing James' counterattack and firmly holding the victory in their hands; however, they clearly knew that the team had lost the G1 game.

In the game, Mike Brown still let James play for 44 minutes, until there were 2 minutes left in the game and the score difference was still 14 points. The Eagles replaced James first after replacing the main players!

Mike Brown's purpose is very clear. If James does not leave the game, the Big Three of the Hawks will have to accompany him on the court! Since he is determined to cause more trouble for the Hawks, let's start with "physical fitness".

The final score was fixed at 105:94. The Eagles defeated the Cavaliers at home and got off to a good start.

James played 44 minutes and scored an exaggerated 38 points, 12 assists and 13 rebounds;

For the Hawks, Joe Johnson played 39 minutes and scored 24 points; Garnett played 36 minutes and scored 22 points, 11 rebounds and 5 assists; Paul also played 38 minutes!

Except for Paul, the playing time of the other two players of the Hawks' Big Three has increased by more than 5 minutes compared with the regular season, which is considered "overtime".

In the post-game interview session, Mike Brown was very upset about Shannon Brown's "block" on James: "I think that regardless of whether there is a foul or not, players should restrain themselves on the court and protect the opponent's players from getting injured! Whether it is a foul or not

It’s the moral bottom line for players!”

It’s not surprising that Mike Brown said this. After all, James’ importance to the Cavaliers is so important, even a “verbal condemnation” is better than nothing!

Faced with Mike Brown's attack, Ke Yan also expressed his attitude in a subsequent interview: "Honestly, when I saw this picture, I thought it was a foul! But the big screen quickly gave a close-up shot

, proved that this is a wonderful block! The performance that makes people's blood is not only the thunderous dunk, but also the person who defends hard and fights against the gods with a mortal body is also worthy of respect! I am proud of Shannon Brown!"

When asked about the impact of winning a good start on the team's subsequent series, Ke Yan's answer was unexpectedly low-key:

"LeBron is a strong opponent. He can do anything on the court, especially in the Quicken Loans Center. I am not surprised by any performance! My players and I are well prepared.

There will be misjudgments because of this victory.”

Listening to this, why do you feel that it also implies the father-son relationship between James and Stern?
