One Guard
Chapter 699: Kelly Irving appears halfway
Wade dunked on Irving to make it 2+1. This was the "Flash"'s attitude towards this game. He doesn't resent James, but that doesn't mean he will be merciful to James' team.
Cuban trusts him because he trusts him to help the team win the championship. To win the championship, the Cavaliers must definitely overcome the hurdle. For Wade, this is no longer as simple as an ordinary regular season. This is a preview of the finals!
35 to 35, after the start of the second quarter, the Mavericks became tougher both offensively and defensively.
James wanted to counterattack again, but found that his teammates no longer had as many opportunities as they had in the first quarter. Each of them was forced to defend very hard. After Gobert switched to guarding Tristan Thompson, it was not so easy for James to succeed in the paint.
But he has no choice. When the team fails to play a chance, James must stand up and stabilize his position.
He took a step back and motioned for everyone to pull away. This guy wants to fight alone!
"The second quarter has just begun, is LeBron James about to start singles mode!?" Barkley's eyes widened. This is indeed unreasonable, but it is the only way.
James' simple change of direction slightly confused Iguodala's focus, but as long as there was a fleeting opportunity, James could seize it.
The strong No. 23 originally wanted to go straight to the basket, but Iguodala's defense was too tight. Therefore, James could only barely make a jump shot in the three-second zone.
Iguodala was not slow to react and reached out to block James' sight. This was absolutely a perfect defense, and even Blatter silently shook his head.
However, James is James. Without any chance, he made the shot.
The basketball hit the net crisply, and James hammered his chest. He will never lose to the Mavericks again, never!
"A tough response. It was really hard for LeBron to score this goal! It can be seen that he does not intend to lose to the Mavericks again. He has not yet vented his resentment of being swept 4-0 by the Mavericks in the finals last season. Woolen cloth!"
Iguodala shrugged, doing everything he could defensively this time. But that's what superstars are like, their goals are unreasonable.
The Cavaliers once again exceeded the score. Wade's dunk did not extinguish James' confidence in winning, but instead inspired his desire to win.
On the next attack, Yiyang passed the ball to Wade, who got rid of Waiters and cut inside to the basket. Wade caught the ball without any hesitation. Love was about to jump to block the ball, but found a dark shadow passing by.
James spared no effort and viciously slapped Wade's layup out of the baseline!
"LeBron James, his return to defense was so timely! And it was Wade who blocked the shot. What a dramatic scene!"
James is a stern man, and the friendly attitude between him and Wade at the start of the game has disappeared without a trace.
Wade and James are both professional players, so they know very well that there must be a clear line between competition and life!
"Damn it." Wade curled his lips. His current physical condition is indeed incomparable to James. The guy jumps as high as he did when he first came into the league and never seems to be affected by months.
Although this offense still involved the Mavericks serving an inbounds ball, the smoothness of the offense had been broken after encountering a block.
Yiyang regained control of the ball and reviewed the situation on the court. Wade has attracted too many people's attention. As soon as he enters the three-second zone, someone will quickly cover up the defense.
What about Gobert? Although he has a height advantage, he is stuck by Tristan Thompson and is in a bad position.
Everyone has no chance, and he must create a chance for the team. Now that James has begun to show off his power, Yiyang no longer holds back.
So, Yiyang lobbed the ball to Dirk. Dirk is in the mid-range position at this time, holding the ball with his back, which is his favorite position. In this situation, whether Dirk turned over for a jump shot or turned around for a breakthrough,
They all have advantages over Love.
But he didn't choose either of these two offensive methods. Instead, he hit the ball to the ground and passed it with his back!
The basketball bounced to the middle. After getting rid of Irving, Yiyang cut in and caught the ball and went straight for a layup.
Tristan Thompson jumped up to block the shot, but Yiyang put the ball around Thompson's waist and into Gobert's arms.
Yiyang's breakthrough has attracted Thompson's defense, so Gobert took off and dunked with both hands without anyone marking him!
"Another dunk for the Mavericks, they once again broke through the Cavaliers' defense! This goal came from a direct assist from Yi, he is really a non-stop motor."
Although Gobert was the one who scored the goal, James never took his eyes away from Yiyang.
Are you going to get serious? as well as.
The score was tied again, and the game was still anxious!
Not to be outdone, James withdrew to the side under Love's cover and hit a three-pointer. The Cavaliers went over again!
Where is Yiyang? He prefers to catch the ball and shoot. Yiyang used his endless running and fake movements with fake eyes to make Owen's legs weak.
Irving used to think that he could only perform tricks with the ball in his hands, but today, he saw a player who made offense without the ball entertaining.
When Yiyang reached outside the three-point line and caught the basketball, Irving had no idea where he was being thrown.
Yiyang took a decisive shot, the basketball drew a picturesque arc, and hit a three-pointer!
Before the Cavaliers' lead had even warmed up, Yiyang ruthlessly tied the score again.
The two sides seemed to be engaged in a tug-of-war. Although the Mavericks contained the performance of Irving and Love, the score still did not improve due to the presence of James.
Carlisle is not in a hurry. As long as the situation continues like this, James will not be able to last the entire game.
He works so hard on both the defensive and offensive ends, and his physical fitness will be exhausted sooner or later. At that time, the Mavericks only need a wave of attacks and an offensive climax to take away the game. This trick worked repeatedly against the Heat last season.
However, James returned to Cleveland precisely to avoid such a situation...
After Yiyang hit a three-pointer, James directly took over the ball and advanced personally. Under normal circumstances, when James controls the ball himself, it probably means that this guy is going to start his personal scoring mode. Sure enough, after pausing outside the three-point line, James once again attacked Iguodala!
This time when he turned over to chase, Iguodala suddenly slipped and fell to the ground. Seeing this situation, Yiyang left Owen behind and went straight to James. After Iguodala got up, he also very smartly defended in front of Irving.
But Irving did not continue to stand outside the three-point line and watch, but followed James and cut to the basket.
With Gobert blocking in front and Yiyang chasing in the back, it was difficult for James to complete a layup. Because the two people before and after him are both shot-blocking masters.
But during the march, James suddenly passed the ball without giving a look. The lightning-fast Irving came from behind, caught the basketball, and threw it directly.
No matter how tall Gobert is, he can't block shots and throw. The basketball hits the backboard and refracts into the net.
Kelly Irving, he is not a three-point shooter!
"Beautiful, Kelly Irving finally scored in the second quarter. This is what we want to see, the connection between LeBron and Irving. Kelly should also stand out more, so as to help James share the pressure."
Yiyang knows very well what level Iguodala's defense is. There are only two possibilities for a defender to break through so easily.
One is that Iguodala just fell and was injured, and the other is that Irving's personal offensive ability is really strong!
There is no doubt that it just belongs to the second situation!
Last year, if Wade had met Iguodala, he would not have been able to play such a wonderful passing and cutting game with James.
Carlisle frowned. There seemed to be an X factor in this game that was already under control.
After that, Yiyang continued to shine, assisting Nowitzki to hit a three-pointer. The Cavaliers' defense is still focused on blocking Yiyang. They are betting that others on the Mavericks team can't make a shot. But it was obvious that they lost again this round.
But there's nothing that can be done about it. Irving's defense is destined to have his teammates wipe his butt for him.
But soon, Irving made up for it. His bond with James grew stronger. This time, the person who picks and rolls for Irving directly becomes James!
James picks and rolls for his own point guard, which is something you will never see on the Heat. Just thinking about James picking and rolling for Chalmers is a bit incredible.
But in the Cavaliers, everything is different.
After borrowing the pick-and-roll, Irving will naturally face Iguodala. Iguodala is ready. He has seen the offensive power of this young guard before. After Irving bypassed the pick-and-roll, he immediately changed direction and slipped between James, who was blocking for him, and Iguodala, who was preparing to defend him!
"This change of direction is too fast!"
With just one step of acceleration, Irving pulled Iguodala past him. Gobert took a step forward to prevent Irving from making a pull-up jumper or throw. But Irving didn't intend to complete the offense in that gentle way. He leaned on Gobert and threw the ball high. Curry's high layup, this move can be replicated by Yiyang, and the same can be done by Irving!
The basketball hit the net, and Irving was knocked down by Gobert. The referee blows the whistle, another chance to hit a three-pointer!
"Kelly Irving was completely open. His timely appearance helped LeBron share a lot of pressure. Once he and LeBron teamed up, not even Iguodala and Iguodala could stop him! He is too flexible and his finishing ability is very good. Strong. Coach Carlisle thought that by containing the Cavaliers' three-pointers, everything would be fine today. In fact, this is not the case. Irving is a super defender who can stand up and serve as the core of the offense at any time! Yes, he is a super point guard, not a three-point shooter!"
James only needs to do a pick-and-roll to give the team a chance to hit a three-pointer, which was incredible last season. Because even if he sets a pick-and-roll for Wade, Wade, who is in extremely poor condition, may not be able to get rid of the players who are covering him.
The Cavaliers started to gain momentum, but Wade quickly suppressed it. Later, when James started to gain momentum, Yiyang responded to LeBron with his own actions. The game was not that simple.
Now, it's Yiyang and his Mavericks' turn to take off, but Kelly Irving steps up for James. He told everyone with his strong support that LeBron is no longer fighting alone!
"Miscalculated, miscalculated. This game was a good one." Seeing Irving standing on the free throw line, about to equalize the score for the Cavaliers, Carlisle couldn't help but shook his head.
Irving suddenly came out, causing the plan of killing James to fail. These two people complement each other and allow the Cavaliers to always maintain strong firepower.
Yiyang looked at the retreating figures of James and Irving, and found that he had begun to breathe a little.
When a real right-hand man appears next to James, the outcome may not be decided in the second quarter.
A guard who can score points over Gobert? Huh, that’s interesting!
