Quicken Loans Arena, which was noisy just now, suddenly became quiet.

Everyone's expressions were in disbelief.

LeBron James falling to the ground...

And Jiang Dalin stood in front of him like a god.

This scene brought them too much excitement...

This guy...

Is it a human?

They have seen LeBron's progress this season.

No team's perimeter can stop him.

Even if Artest charged him, he could only deal with him with a rough foul...

So, when LeBron rushed up, what they were waiting for was a dunk.

And when Jiang Dalin stopped him, what they were waiting for was a dunk!

They know this person is Jiang Dalin!

But they also thought it would be a dunk from LeBron.

but……

Jiang Dalin told them with practical actions why he is Jiang Dalin!

Why he gets a higher rating than LeBron!

LeBron may have improved a lot this season...

But Jiang Dalin was still an insurmountable mountain in front of him.

He may not know about this matter, he may think it is impossible, but now...

He must know!

This is the truth...

LeBron, who was lying on the ground, looked at Jiang Dalin as if he were looking up at a mountain!

Before that block, he might have had other ideas, but now he doesn't...

Does such a guy really exist?

Recalling the scene just now, he jumped up confidently, but...

But I encountered that kind of strange force!

Jiang Dalin...

He must admit it!

There is still a long way to go between him and Jiang Dalin!

Worse news, Jiang Dalin covered him with the ball. The ball belonged to the Knicks.

The game restarted. After the Knicks served in the midfield, Marbury broke through with the ball and used his signature scoring method, a mid-range throw. Unfortunately, facing the defense, he failed to score.

The Cavaliers' No. 1 position this season is Eric Snow.

It was Snow, who was responsible for wiping Allen Iverson's butt for the 76ers.

Speaking of this guy, many people will deny his offensive level, but not many people will deny his defensive skills.

Of course, can a guy who can be favored by Larry Brown be bad at defense?

Defense is his specialty.

His defense at that time could definitely rank among the top three point guards in today's NBA!

His defensive data does not fully reflect his defensive level, but anyone who has played against him or watched the game carefully will find that his awareness and skills are extraordinary.

And he doesn't rely on steals to complete his defense.

You can see it from just this round when he defended Marbury.

His ability to observe the opponent's movements is very good, and he can judge what the opponent will do next based on his previous actions.

Generally speaking, this kind of defensive awareness would have been very helpful in stealing, but he had already passed his prime period of sports when he honed such skills, so we can only see his stealing level in a few seasons.

However, this season can also be said to be a turning point for him.

It was during this season that he gradually realized that as he grew older, his speed also slowed down. His experience told him that he could not rely entirely on judgment to steal the ball. Otherwise, the consequence would be that his position would be deceived and then the ball would be stolen.

A personal foul. This foul is either my own or the teammates guarding the inside. In this case, it is inevitable to lose points...

No, soon, he would have the opportunity to accumulate experience.

After facing Big Z in the paint, Jiang Dalin grabbed an offensive rebound and returned the ball to Marbury.

Marbury had just been blocked, so Snow thought he could try to steal, but was tricked behind him by his dribbling. Gooden fouled him in order to stop him.

Snow raised his hands apologetically and said, this is my problem.

Mike Brown shouted from the side: "It's okay, defend, defend, stay motivated now, it's okay!"

The Cavaliers brought him and Larry Hughes over in the summer just to distract LeBron from defense. Therefore, it is impossible to blame him because he lost position on defense this time.

Of course, this also completely aroused Snow's desire to defend.

I'm still counting on my performance this year to get another contract!

You have to fight hard, right?

Then work hard!

The "God of War in Contract Year" applied to play.

"Whoa!"

"Whoa!"

Marbury didn't know that he was being targeted, and he happily high-fived Jiang Dalin. Look, he was still smiling!

Snow controlled the ball to the frontcourt and gave it to LeBron without hesitation.

Ross knew he couldn't prevent it, but he still immediately attacked him. His idea was that if you can't stop him, you can't stop him. First, you have to express your attitude.

It's like drinking with elders. In one sentence: You can do whatever you want, I'll do it!

The "Michigan Five" are so cool!

"Boom!"

But the feeling is refreshing.

If you can't bear it, you really can't bear it.

The body is not as good as the opponent. At this time, it doesn't make much difference whether the brain is good or not.

Rose was pushed away immediately.

LeBron gets inside.

The entire New York Knicks defense was stirred as he broke through.

As a result, the opportunity came out. LeBron found Larry Hughes who was left open. The latter broke through for the second time and completed a layup.

It's just that LeBron just rushed, he rushed again, and the only one who returned to defense and scored was Snow.

As for the Knicks, what they practice best now is none other than their counterattack.

Including fast break counterattacks on serve.

Jiang Dalin noticed that the Cavaliers' entire front line did not return to defense in time, so how could they miss such an opportunity. He hit the ground from a long distance and sent the ball to Marbury.

Marbury faced Snow with a fast break. Although he stumbled a bit, he still scored.

Although Snow's defensive ability is good, the actual cases Marbury used in his book "My Years of Playing Fast Breaks in the Suns" were enough for him to complete this fast break.

Defensive ability is divided into two aspects, one is position, and the other is fast break.

Snow is getting older, and his fast break defensive ability is obviously no longer good.

In addition, as the game continued, the Cavaliers exposed two fatal problems.

First, the Cavaliers' inside line couldn't handle Jiang Dalin.

This is still an era when insiders are king.

Although Drew Gooden and Big Z really complement each other and complement each other, compared with the destructive power that Jiang Dalin can produce, the hardness of the two of them is obviously not enough!

There is indeed a slight gap in level.

What do you think of Jiang Dalin's offense tonight...

Describe it this way!

Why did he fall down before I even exerted any force?

Let’s not talk about Gooden’s defense ability, let’s just talk about Big Z...

The Lithuanians didn't expect that I, with only one defensive ability left, would be reduced to ashes in front of Jiang Dalin.

His height advantage was completely useless in front of Jiang Dalin.

More importantly, his age and injuries have caused his explosive power to become much weaker.

With Jiang Dalin unable to withstand his defense, Jiang Dalin could pass him almost as soon as he turned around.

At this time, coupled with the problem that Drew Gooden likes to sleepwalk...

How can the Cavaliers resist?

The second fatal problem is that the Cavaliers really have no one to attack!

Originally, the Cavaliers brought in Larry Hughes to solve this problem.

But it can actually be seen from LeBron's pass just now.

Larry Hughes struggled without the ball.

When LeBron passed the ball to him, he was actually already in a quite open position.

But he finally chose to break through.

What does this prove?

He really has no projection ability!

Like LeBron, he doesn't dare to shoot.

The New York Knicks' fast break just now was because of Larry Hughes' breakthrough. If he could make a three-point long shot, the Knicks would definitely not be able to seize any chance.

If he can't do it, Snow can't do it even more.

There are only two words on this person's resume: defense, defense or his defense!

Expecting him to attack is equivalent to...

Find chickens, persuade them to come ashore...

Do the impossible!

Then let’s talk about Drew Gooden. In terms of ability, this guy is just a weakened version of Odom.

But in terms of mind wandering, it's really even worse.

It is simply impossible to expect a sustained attack.

Finally big z...

After all, he was an All-Star back then and is currently averaging 15.6 points and 7.6 rebounds per game.

But the person he is facing tonight is Jiang Dalin after all!

This alone is doomed to have no chance of success.

This makes the Cavaliers somewhat passive...

Of course, it's just passive.

The game is still exciting.

But there are many reasons.

Although the Cavaliers have no offensive points.

But this problem also exists with the New York Knicks.

Although Marbury averaged 20 points per game last season, he really couldn't handle it when faced with a veteran like Snow, especially when he fell into a positional battle.

He is more suitable for disrupting chaotic battles...

However, Snow would not let him have such a chance.

And once he has no offensive firepower.

Then there is only one person that can be relied on on the outside, and that is Rose, the former "Fab Five" from Michigan.

How is this person doing today?

Facing the best first-team defensive player Larry Hughes, not to mention playing really well, he really returned to his peak state.

Chasing a three-pointer at the critical moment, yes.

The team's ability to attack tough situations when they can't open up a situation is there.

There are also fairy balls.

Fortunately for Larry Hughes, today is not the last game of the contract year and he has just signed the contract. Otherwise, just this one game would have directly saved him millions.

This state is really scary!

Larry Hughes fought until the end and immediately showed his hands.

How to prevent this!

I slapped it on his face.

What else can be done?

This guy is being unreasonable tonight!

Ordinarily, with such a performance, the Cavaliers shouldn't be anxious...

Because Rose made up for all the firepower that Marbury missed!

But the game was always exciting.

Because LeBron James is really good enough!

He has really grown a lot this season.

It is also more threatening at the breakthrough end.

Although Jiang Dalin blocked one at the beginning, he still made breakthroughs several times.

Um……

David Lee's inexperience was on full display at this moment.

Many times he was easily lifted out.

To put it bluntly, the defense inside is just a patch and a supplement.

This is the best way.

Only by blocking half of the breakthrough paths available to the opponent can the other person complete the defense better.

Once no one blocks the door, no matter how good Jiang Dalin is in protecting the frame, it is impossible to completely block LeBron.

After all, this guy’s physical fitness isn’t bad either.

But because he was always in the lead, Jiang Dalin didn't say anything.

It is also good for David Lee to continue to suffer losses!

After all, this is just the regular season. Let him learn experience quickly, and it will definitely be different in the future!

As the game comes to the final moment.

Jiang Dalin once again used his unreasonable outside ball-holding breakthrough.

The Cavaliers fans at the scene were dumbfounded...

Can you still play like this?

To be honest, they already feel that LeBron James's playing style is buggy enough.

It seems now...

Cleveland is indeed a small place!

If you want to see the world, you have to go to New York!

LeBron James tried to run over and defend a few, but the result was...

Totally unpreventable!

Jiang Dalin can already suppress O'Neal in terms of strength, so what does LeBron James mean?

After several consecutive singles, the New York Knicks gradually widened the point difference.

112 to 103!

This is the final score!

The moment the game ended, there was suddenly no sound.

Everyone has a knowledgeable look on their face!

Jiang Dalin's final score tonight was 44 points!

There were also 15 rebounds and 5 blocks.

In fact, Jiang Dalin only scored 27 points before the start of the fourth quarter. Everyone thought that this time he would not be able to score 40 points in a single game!

The Cavaliers blocked his reception very well in this game. Almost the whole game, the Cavaliers paid attention to cutting off the connection between Marbury and him.

So Marbury only had 7 assists tonight.

Then on the scoring end, he was also severely restricted by Snow.

Only scored 13 points.

This data is really not "wolf nanny" at all.

To be honest, if Rose hadn't broken out tonight, the New York Knicks would have probably fallen on the Cavaliers.

Of course it's only possible...

After all, if Rose didn't break out, Jiang Dalin would probably come up with his unreasonable breakthrough method to score in advance.

At that time, the victory will probably belong to the New York Knicks. Anyway, from the perspective of these Cleveland home fans...

It's hard for the Cavaliers to guard a guy like that.

It will take at least some time to get used to it...

Not including tonight...

LeBron James' final statistics were fixed at 34 points, 10 rebounds and 8 assists.

Still outstanding as always.

But Jiang Dalin still suppressed him on the scene with his last few ball-holding attacks in the fourth quarter.

Even the media in Cleveland have to admit that Jiang Dalin is still more terrifying than LeBron.

The good news is…

LeBron is finally getting closer to this mountain.

Some distances have been shortened.

That's enough!

As long as you catch up slowly, LeBron will catch up one day!
