One Guard

In the first three possessions of the game, the fans saw what they were craving. The combination of James and Irving went head-to-head with Yiyang and Wade without giving in.

In the next few minutes of the game, the two sides played equally inseparably. The Mavericks relied on their overall advantage, while the Cavaliers relied on the personal abilities of James and Irving to hold on to the score.

Finally, seven minutes into the first quarter, David Blatt began to make substitutions. He replaced Irving with Australian guard Dellavedova and finally got J.R. Smith on the court.

Smith is eager to try, averaging 18 points per game and 41% three-point shooting. During the Eastern Conference Finals, J.R. undoubtedly showed confidence. Even now when he faces Wade, he is not timid at all.

As for Carlisle, Iguodala finally appeared. Just now, Tony Allen has held back James, and now Carlisle has replaced a strong defensive player with strong physical strength to confront James. He doesn't believe that he can still hold down No. 23.

The Warriors lost to the Mavericks in the Death Five because the Mavericks could defend all five positions. To deal with James, Carlisle's reserves of defensive personnel are also very rich.

"This period of time is a test for the Cavaliers. Irving is temporarily off the court. If J.R. cannot produce firepower, the Cavaliers' offense will be in a quagmire. However, Wade's defense will really not allow J.R. to get too many opportunities. After all, J.R. already pissed off Wade before the game started today."

Although the players have been changed, there are still many highlights in the game. After the substitution, the Mavericks attacked for the first time, and Dellavedova, an Australian defender, showed his value.

"His physical confrontation is really very active! This guy's defense will definitely make Yi feel even more pressure!"

Dellavedova has inherited the "excellent" qualities of Australian players, which is a lot of small moves and fierce physical confrontation! The grabbing of the jersey and the endless pushing, these actions may not be possible for Irving for another three years.

Yiyang didn't waste time with Delavido. He passed the ball to Dirk, who then passed it to Wade, and Wade broke through for a layup again. Naturally, J.R. was unwilling to let Wade score points, so he reached out and fouled.

Wade was pulled down by J.R. Smith. The referee's whistle sounded and Wade went to the free throw line.

Just when Wade was making a free throw, J.R., who was standing outside the three-point line, motioned for himself and Dellavedova to change positions, so this "thorn" stood behind Yiyang.

Yiyang put his hands on his hips and waited for Wade to go up and give him a high-five after his free throw, without paying much attention. Wade missed the first free throw. "The Flash" shook his head, and Yiyang also walked up and high-fived Wade, asking him to relax.

Subsequently, Yiyang retreated again, and Wade was about to take his second free throw. At this moment, J.R. walked up to Yiyang and bent down. Then under Yiyang's gaze, this weirdo untied one of the laces on Yiyang's shoes!

"What are you doing?" Yiyang was confused. After playing in the league for five years, this was the first time he encountered such a situation.

"I'll teach you a lesson, it's free." After J.R. said, Wade missed the second free throw again, a rare miss!

Tristan Thompson grabbed the rebound, and at the same time J.R. Smith ran away. Before Yiyang could react, J.R received Thompson's pass and then succeeded in a fast break layup.

"What!?" Mike Brin spread his hands, dumbfounded. ESPN's director immediately interrupted the replay, but what was replayed was not J.R.'s fast break layup, but the scene of Smith untying Yiyang's shoelaces.

"What a fucking talent." Yiyang shook his head, he had never seen such a shameless person.

In fact, this is not the first time J.R. has done this on the court. Howard, Monroe and even Marion on the Mavericks bench,

They have all suffered from this "poisonous hand". But this was the first time that J.R. Smith scored with this "trick".

J.R.'s layup helped the Cavaliers narrow the point difference to 2 points. But Yiyang didn't care, he thought J.R. was just joking. But it can also be seen that J.R. was not bluffing before the game. This guy will use all means to win today. If he could, he might take off Yiyang's shoes himself next time.

Compared with J.R. Smith untying his shoelaces, Yiyang was more concerned about Wade's missed two free throws. Wade played very actively today and frequently broke through the penalty area. But in this way, Wade's physical energy consumption is greater than before. It seems that Wade is very tired now. When defending later, Yiyang has to help Wade pay more attention to J.R.

In this attack, Yiyang once again encountered Dellavedova's strong block. If J.R. was just showing off just now, then Dellavedova, an Australian, had a real fight with Yiyang.

Facing the opponent's rough defense, Yiyang called a pick-and-roll. No matter how rough Dellavedova is, he can't just squeeze Gobert away.

After taking over the cover and breaking through, Dellavedova still pursued Yiyang, and his hands were still very dirty.

Seeing this situation, Yiyang suddenly stopped, retreated, and then directly took off to shoot! In this way, Dellavedova's action of grabbing Yiyang's jersey was completely exposed. But Yiyang was stunned to stabilize his center of gravity and shooting movements under such circumstances, and threw the basketball steadily. At the same time, Dellavedova fouled, and Yiyang got the opportunity to score 2+1!

"Dlavedova's rough defense did not faze Yi. Instead, he took advantage of this to cause fouls for the Australians. You must be careful. In the last round of the series, even the clean Klay was deeply troubled by fouls. .”

Dellavedova's rudeness did not scare Yiyang, but was exploited by Yiyang. After all, compared with those bad guys on the Wood Street court, Dellavedova's actions are already quite "gentle".

James shook his head. If even Dellavedova couldn't restrain Yiyang, he would have to do it himself. But if James also consumes a lot of energy on the defensive end, what about the offensive end? The Cavaliers' defense is in a dilemma!

Three points were tied, and the five-point gap continued to weigh on the Cavaliers. In this kind of tug-of-war, even a 1-point difference can overwhelm the opponent. In this attack, Yiyang also sounded the alarm for Dellavedova. If he doesn't restrain himself, Yiyang will get more opportunities to score easy free throws.

On the next defense, Iguodala's tough style prevented James from breaking through smoothly. In desperation, the "Little Emperor" had no choice but to give the ball to J.R. Smith. At this time, J.R. had just used the screen to reach the right corner, but Wade was unable to get around Mozgov's screen in time due to excessive physical exertion.

In this way, Smith got an open three-point opportunity. Well, it's just that in J.R.'s opinion, it's an empty seat.

This guy just took off and was ready to shoot the Mavericks through the heart. But before the ball was released, Yiyang suddenly jumped out, stretched out his arm, and blocked J.R.'s eyes!

With a very cruel blow, the basketball in J.R. Smith's hand was slapped directly into the stands by Yiyang!

"Ya, his defense is so good! How did this guy predict it!?"

In fact, Yiyang had been observing J.R.'s movements. He knew that Wade, who was too physically exhausted, would find it difficult to keep up. Therefore, Yiyang had already prepared the best defense. Anyway, Dellavedova, an Australian, has little scoring ability, so the risk of shorting him occasionally is not high.

"I'll teach you a lesson as a thank you." After Yiyang said that, he left expressionlessly, making J.R. grit his teeth in anger.

Taking advantage of this dead ball opportunity, Carlisle replaced all the main players except Yiyang. The reason is that Blatt did not replace James.

This game is ultimately in the hands of Yiyang and James!

"Are you planning to fight me to the death?" James moved his body. It seems that today is destined to be a hard battle.

The terrifying ability James showed in the Eastern Conference finals left Carlisle with lingering fears. The defense of Iguodala and Tony Allen can only serve as a containment, but cannot completely prevent James. To be exact, there is no way in this world that can prevent James from dying. So Yiyang stayed on the court just to score points with James!

After the Mavericks put on the bench, J.R. Smith was completely strangled. Shervin Mack went all out on defense, making J.R. very uncomfortable. He made two shots against Mark, but he only helped Dalembert with two rebounds.

In the first quarter of the game, the Mavericks forced James to use singles to solve the problem. Their league-leading defense is truly worthy of its reputation!

So in the last two minutes of the first quarter, James started his personal scoring mode.

Dellavedova's task is to dribble the ball across half the court, and then James takes over. After hanging up a simple screen, he accelerates the breakthrough!

Iguodala naturally wouldn't be thrown away by a pick-and-roll. He stayed close to James from beginning to end. Looking at Iguodala's strong body, you can imagine how difficult it is to carry a breakthrough.

However, James pushed in and succeeded in a layup due to Iguodala's interference!

"LeBron James! Even this didn't stop him! But if James has to fight like this for every ball, I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to last until the end of the game!" What Mike Breen saw was not just scoring, but also The helplessness behind James' scoring.

But there is no way. With Irving off the court to rest, the Cavaliers' only offensive point on the field is James. J.R.? That crazy knife only needs to look at the few balls in front of him to know whether he is accurate today. However, except for the fast break layup after understanding Yiyang's shoelaces, J.R.'s offense has never succeeded.

Rather than letting J.R. wander, James might as well score points himself. Only in this way can there be a chance to tie the score before the end of the first quarter.

Later, Carlisle replaced Yiyang and let him rest for one minute. But James is still present and seems to be planning to play a whole quarter.

So, LeBron attacked Iguodala again. This time, it was a pull-up jump shot after a breakthrough. Iguodala was still very close, but James was stunned to score again in such a difficult situation!

"Incredible LeBron, he carried the Cavaliers' offense alone!"

After scoring four points in a row, James started playing singles early. James spent the rest of the first quarter in singles. The scene of this guy carrying two people into the paint and scoring was reenacted at the American Airlines Center Arena.

In the end, the tenacious James helped the Cavaliers stabilize the point difference. 27 to 27 in the first quarter, the two teams were neck-and-neck!

But James, who played a whole quarter, was sweating profusely by the end of the first quarter. No matter how strong James is physically, he is still human. If you are human, you will definitely get tired!

And in the first quarter of the game, Tony Allen and Iguodala took turns defending, which definitely made James spend more energy.

This was Carlisle's strategy, to consume James from the beginning of the first quarter. As long as James goes down, the Cavaliers have nothing to fear.

After the start of the second quarter, Irving returned to the court to serve as a scoring point, and there was no doubt that James, who had just played a whole quarter, sat on the bench and needed to rest for a while.

Carlisle didn't want to wait for James to rest before coming back to kill everyone. Only through continuous consumption could the steel body fall. The only way to get James to play is to put the Cavaliers into crisis and force him to play.

"Yi, for the next game, cover Irving!" Carlisle grabbed Yiyang before going on the field and gave the last sentence.

Sorry, Uncle Drew. In order to force James out, we can only start with you.
