Diop missed two free throws, and Ke Yan rubbed his forehead helplessly on the sidelines, finally feeling the mood of Stan Van Gundy, Popovich, and Rivers.

O'Neal, Bowen, and Howard, who were beaten to death by the Lakers, were all looking up to the sky and shouting: "You guys also have today!"

A head coach like Ke Yan is good at using foul tactics to disgust opponents, but conversely, once the opponent uses this trick, the backlash will be more serious.

You spend a lot of time designing offensive tactics, but as a result, your opponent chases your player with poor free throw shooting and fouls, making all your arrangements in vain. It would be weird if you didn't make him vomit three liters of blood.

The Cavaliers attacked, James received the ball, and Barnes immediately stepped out. Although it was not a tight defense, the distance was not very far. James began to dribble, looking for opportunities to break through. Although Barnes is not as good at physical confrontation as Butler

, but the victory lies in toughness, and he has dark skills and dares to make moves, which has a certain deterrent effect on James' breakthrough.

Big Z stepped forward for a pick-and-roll, and James calmly broke through from the right side and bravely penetrated into the heart of the Lakers!

Odom let go of Gooden behind him and directly came up to make up the defense. Behind him, Diop also took a position, ready to make up the defense.

James took off directly and flew towards the basket! Flying in mid-air, he withstood the attack of Odom and Diop. James lowered his hands and sent the ball from his waist.

His pass was accurately passed to Gooden's hands. The latter followed up with a layup and was about to put the ball into the basket when suddenly a black hand came from behind and his fingers were firmly pressed on the basketball!
"Bang!" Gooden looked back and saw it was Kobe!

James is more accustomed to giving the ball to his teammate in the best position, which the Lakers have already prepared. In a flash, Kobe made a decision and blocked Gooden's offense.

Odom grabbed the rebound and sent a long pass immediately. Barnes, who was blocked by Big Z outside the three-point line, took the lead and ran in front. This was a rare opportunity for the little guy Barnes to complete in the fast break stage in his career.

He was even a little nervous during the dunk. After breaking into the basket, he changed his mind and chose to be more stable and end the offense with a rebound. (18:17)

After landing, Barnes clapped his hands with dissatisfaction, feeling that his offensive choice was terrible!

The camera also recorded this scene, and the fans all showed knowing smiles.

Entering the official timeout, Ke Yan also put his arms around Barnes's neck and said a lot of encouraging words.

After returning from the timeout, the Cavaliers quickly responded with a goal to the Lakers. James once again used a breakthrough to tear open the Lakers' defense and passed it to Pavlovic outside the three-point line. The latter made a steady three-pointer. Unfortunately,

One foot stepped slightly on the line when taking off, but the referee only awarded a two-point ball. This made the audience a little dissatisfied, and they booed the referee to put pressure on him. (20:17)

The referee's scale of whistleblowing gradually returned to normal, and the Lakers also began to exert their strength. Kobe rarely asked his teammates for a pick-and-roll on the offensive end. After breaking through, he scored the ball in the bottom corner. Barnes made a steady three-pointer from the bottom corner. I was excited when playing back.

jumped up immediately.(20:20)

Looking back, Barnes made another great contribution on the defensive end. Barnes, who was separated from James by the pick and roll, stretched out his hand and happened to touch the basketball in James' hand, affecting James' dribbling rhythm. Odom successfully stole the ball.

Without saying a word, he launched a fast break counterattack and went straight to the basket, causing McGinnis to foul.

In recent times, Odom's outstanding performance has even exceeded Ke Yan's expectations. Compared with Webber, who he once promoted the trade, except for his ability to support and initiate offense from inside, he is even worse in other aspects. This is

It also surprised Ke Yan himself.

Even if the referee did not deflect, the Lakers were still much better than the Cavaliers. Even though the Little Emperor played the entire first quarter, they were unable to stop the Lakers' victory. At 28:33, the Cavaliers were 5 points behind at home and ended the first quarter.

.

At the moment when the team's life and death were at stake, the team couldn't afford to lose a game. James fought hard and did not plan to rest. He started the second quarter and led the team to launch a counterattack.

The Lakers used a small lineup of Atkins, Finley, Butler, Barnes, and Anderson to fight.

Sometimes, the decisions made by the players may not be correct. The purpose of the head coach's existence is to correct some mistakes of the players. A typical example is Ke Yan's restrictions on Kobe's playing style. He is allowed to take more shots, but he is not allowed to make blind shots.

Mike Brown allowed James to continue playing and followed James' wishes, but he did not consider the burden on James and whether his physical strength could support this usage.

All of the Cavaliers' offenses are initiated by James, and the holes torn on the defensive end need to be filled by James. Coupled with the Lakers' three wing players and a highly mobile inside line, the Lakers attack from all levels.

James put pressure on, even with the referee's blessing, the little emperor couldn't bear it anymore.

The team led by James couldn't even beat the Lakers' rotation, and was even pulled away. This scene was a bit unbelievable to the fans at the scene, but it actually happened.

When Mike Brown finally realized something was wrong and chose to take James off the court, the score had reached 34:46, and the Lakers led by 12 points.

What's even more frightening is that Tian Ji was racing. Just now, the Cavaliers' top horse failed to outrun the Lakers' middle horse. Next, the Cavaliers' middle horse came to compete with the Lakers' top horse, recuperating on the bench.

The charged-up Kobe and Odom reappear!

Without James, the Cavaliers can't even find a singles player on the court! McGinnis, Gooden and Big Z may be the Cavaliers' players besides James who can attack a little independently.

With this lineup, if you asked Ke Yan to lead him in the past, he could only turn a blind eye, let alone Mike Brown, who is famous for only coaching James!

The game continued. As soon as Kobe came on the court, he used his footsteps to eat Pavlovich alive and hit a mid-range hit. Then he broke through the ball in the offense and assisted Finley to hit a three-pointer. The Lakers' offense was as smooth as mercury.<

/p>

Looking back at the Cavaliers' offense, there was no way to get the ball into the penalty area, and the referee couldn't find a chance to help even if he wanted to!

bidige.

James took a three-minute rest, and the score reached 39:59. The Cavaliers were 20 points behind. When he returned to the court, James was so angry that he wanted to curse!

"I guess the referee will start to use force again." After the timeout ended and the players returned to the court, Ke Yan said to Hamblen beside him.

"If you don't have the strength to beat the Cavaliers by more than 15 points, it will be difficult to win in the Cavaliers' away game." Hamblen joked.

"Absolutely." Ke Yan also smiled.

The trend of the game was just as Ke Yan had guessed. James came on the scene and the Cavaliers were behind by a big score, so they could get a lot of free throws. James' desperate rush again and again made Ke Yan appreciate him a little more. At least his free throws

He got his "life" in exchange for it. Compared with the other James in the future who relies on studying league rules and thinking of ways to cheat fouls, the look and feel is much better.

Of course, Ke Yan can still look at James with appreciation. Another reason is that the Cavaliers, who got free throws, did not threaten the Lakers. The Lakers are not afraid of the referee giving free throws to the Cavaliers, but are afraid that their own offense will be hindered. The Lakers

He maintained his offensive efficiency without losing many points to the Cavaliers.

52:69, the score difference is 17 points. This is also the strength gap between the fringe teams in the Eastern Conference playoffs and the top 4 teams in the Western Conference!

In the second half, Ke Yan switched to a bigger lineup, with Odom as a point guard. Butler and Finley opened up the space and created space for Kobe to attack personally.

This change of tactics made it difficult for the Cavaliers to deal with. Except for James, the Cavaliers did not have the corresponding forward resources to fight against the Lakers' wings. The two insiders, Big Z and Gooden, could only be said to be average in their defense capabilities and could not provide any help.

James provided help in defending Kobe, while other positions were also at a disadvantage.

On the defensive end, the Lakers have an obvious height advantage. James breaks into the basket and attacks, raising his arms everywhere to interfere with his line of sight. The Cavaliers also have no other small man who can take advantage of the lack of mobility of the Lakers' big lineup to help.

, the offensive end is struggling.

The Lakers made a wave of efforts and opened the point difference to more than 25 points, basically ending the suspense of the game. (40-22)

The final score was fixed at 113:134. The Cavaliers lost at home and were overtaken by the New Jersey Nets. Only relying on their record advantage against opponents in the same division, they led the Nets and ranked eighth in the Eastern Conference. There will be another one in the following season.

At any rate, it is very likely that we will lose our playoff spot.

James, who tried his best, received applause from all the fans. However, after losing, James was obviously not in the mood to interact with the fans and returned to the locker room with a livid face.

Another person who received cheers from the fans was Ke Yan. When Ke Yan returned to the locker room, the fans on the side of the tunnel took out a pre-made sign: "We need you, Kimi! You will come to Cleveland to coach, right?"<

/p>

Ke Yan is still the acting head coach of the Lakers. This topic has been discovered by many media and hyped up. Every time the Lakers win a beautiful game, there will be fans who are dissatisfied with their coach and want to ask Ke Yan to coach the team next season on the forum.

He brought a beautiful offense to the team. But he was the first to do it so directly as Cleveland fans, without giving the head coach any face.

At the press conference, reporters interviewed Ke Yan and talked about this incident, pointing out that Ke Yan seemed to be laughing at the time.

"I'm not, I didn't, don't talk nonsense!" Ke Yan came up and denied it three times in a row. "The reality is that the Cavaliers have a very good head coach who has done a good job in Cleveland. And I am the acting head coach of the Lakers.

.I don’t want to make any predictions about the future, I haven’t even thought about what to eat tomorrow.”

Ke Yan is not Phil Jackson, and he will not say anything specious to make other coaches restless. But his response this time already has the meaning of putting pressure on the Lakers management.

The media, fans and even the management circles of some other teams are already paying attention to their futures. Jerry Buss and Kupchak should also make some reactions!
