The Basketball Court Swordsman

Paul George knocked James down and hit a three-pointer. Before the game, absolutely no one could guess that such a picture would appear on the basketball court.

People thought that this round of the series was a battle between Antetokounmpo and James. People thought that Kelly Irving and Chris Paul's new and old matchup would be the highlight of this round. But it was George who took the lead.

After George scored, the Cavaliers immediately launched their own counterattack. James knows he can't be tough today, and the combined defense of George and Antetokounmpo can't be broken by brute force alone.

He needs space and teammates to pull the defense beyond the three-point line. But the fact is that even if Love pulls Lopez out, the Pacers can still effectively prevent James from breaking through.

This is likely to be the only Eastern team in the league that can contain James with only two forwards without the need for a large center to defend.

This time, seeing Tristan Thompson still unable to get Antetokounmbo out of the penalty area, James reluctantly chose to pass the ball.

Kelly Irving boldly took the ball to prepare for singles. Irving is indeed not a pure point guard, but he was selected as the starter of this year's Eastern Conference All-Star, Henson felt that it was actually reasonable.

Although Irving's data may not be as comprehensive as Paul's, this guy's offensive ability is really unexplainable. In the Finals last season, if it weren't for Irving's final three-pointer, the Cavaliers might not be able to take the O'Brien Cup.

But today, Irving feels that it is obviously more difficult for him to score. After all, it was not Curry who defended him, but one of the best point guards in the league.

"Paul was very focused today. Irving tried to break through several times, but was forced back by Paul. On the defensive end, Paul has always been aggressive. Irving beckoned. He needs a pick and roll!"

Seeing Paul's outstanding performance on the court, Henson was very pleased. Through the eight games of the first two rounds of the series, the players have adjusted their competitive state to the best. As for the Cavaliers, they obviously haven't adapted to such a great intensity.

After all, there is a huge gap between the Pacers and all the opponents they have met before.

Owen took the cover of Love to break through. In most cases, as long as Owen can put up the cover, no one can stop him.

But this time, Antetokounmpo's timing was just right. The most important thing is that he can keep up with Owen at the fourth position!

Antetokounmpo raised his arms high in front of Owen, and Owen suddenly felt that the basket was dull. He couldn't make a shot, so he wanted to return the ball to Love who stayed outside the three-point line.

But Irving took it for granted. At this time, Paul, the league steals king, was waiting for Irving to pass the ball.

Paul crossed Irving's passing route and unceremoniously accepted the basketball. The Cavaliers can't shake the Pacers' defense at all!

As for the Pacers' offense, the Cavaliers are simply unable to resist.

Paul immediately gave the ball to George after the steal, because the No. 13 spot had rushed to the front.

James is trying to catch up, he also wants to intercept Paul's long pass halfway. But Paul is one of the point guards with the least number of blocked shots and turnovers in the league, not to mention this kind of long pass. He has passed George for six years!

James leaped high, he thought he could get basketball. However, the basketball fell after rubbing James' fingertips. There is some gamble-style defense in his jump like this. If he grabs it, it is a perfect defense. If he didn't grab it, James couldn't continue to catch up with George.

But unfortunately, LeBron James is like the gamblers in the Vegas casino-he lost.

The basketball seemed to have eyes, and it "circled" James with a perfect line, and fell directly into George's hands.

Tyronn Lu closed his eyes on the sidelines, he couldn't bear to look straight. In the dark, the Cavaliers coach heard the loud noise from the rim and the cheers from the fans.

8-0, after a few rounds, the Cavaliers' offense could not threaten the Pacers at all. The Cavaliers' defense in front of the Pacers is as fragile as a piece of paper.

Although Tyronn Lu called a timeout, he actually didn't know what to do. As we all know, Tyron Lue is not a master tactician. In many cases, the time-out tactics are even arranged by James himself.

Tyron Lue did a great job on "how to use James". But "how to command the team to win the game" is not Tyronn Lu's specialty.

"I need space!" James yelled at the moment.

In the first two rounds, the Cavaliers had a 4-0 and a 4-1. It seems that the East is still unable to cause them trouble. But now, the sudden appearance of an Eastern Conference team that overwhelmed the Cavaliers made James very angry.

It is impossible for him to give the Pacers the status of Eastern Hegemony so easily. Henson just came back and wanted to take away everything he once had! ?

No way! We are the defending champions!

James's words were more like giving orders to Tyronn Lue. So Tyron Lue decided to replace Thompson with Drake Williams.

As a highly anticipated second place player, Derek Williams had the highest scoring season in his career, only averaging 12 points per game. There is no doubt that he is a parallel importer. But his three-pointers are still somewhat accurate, which is why he can get a job with the Cavaliers.

During the regular season, Derek Williams shot 40.4% from three-pointers. James said he needed space, so Tyron Lue gave him space.

In fact, if you follow the regular rotation, Tyronn Lue should push James to the fourth position, and then switch to Korver or Shumpert. During the playoffs, Tyronn Lue mainly rotates with seven players. Among them, there is no place for Derek Williams.

But now, with Antetokounmpo guarding the fourth position, Tyron Lu dare not act rashly. Therefore, such a strange trick came out.

After the timeout, Henson was very surprised to see Drake Williams playing.

It's not that he was frightened by Tyronn Lue's sudden changes. Henson was just surprised, why would a coach send such a player who can't play in the playoffs.

Derek Williams has played in the playoffs once in his life, this time this year. Before that, he had almost no chance to play, averaging only 7.6 minutes per game.

Want to use Drake Williams to open up space? Please, at least send a punctual person to play. Henson admitted that Derek Williams made 40.4% of the Cavaliers' three-pointers and was very good. But he averaged only 2.1 three-pointers per game, and of course his shooting percentage is high.

And don't forget, before transferring to the Cavaliers this season, Derek Williams made only 20% of the Heat's three-pointers. This undoubtedly shows that Derek Williams' three-pointer is unstable. With an unstable pitcher to open space, Tyronn Lu Zhen thinks the game too romantically.

"Derek Williams? Is coach Tyron Lue no one available!?" Not only Henson, but Barkley was very confused when he saw Tyron Lue's substitution.

It's not that people look down on Derek Williams, but that this man has already overdrawn people's expectations of him.

After returning from the timeout, the Cavaliers' tactics immediately became a "one star and four shot" style of play. James played singles with the ball, and the four shooters pulled apart.

James played a few hips in front of George, but he didn't want to confuse his opponent, but to find a rhythm for his breakthrough.

James' breakthrough and Irving's breakthrough are completely two extremes, one relies on a beautiful dribble and rhythm changes to play with the opponent. And the other one is pure rampage!

After finding the rhythm, James kicked the ground hard and ejected himself. George blocked in time, but at the moment of colliding with James, Pg13 still felt a little breathless.

If it were an ordinary person, it would have been weakened. But George didn't, he still insisted. I just finished shouting "This is my home court". Is it possible to fall short of success? ?

James leaned on George to get to the basket, and as expected, he saw Antetokounmpo again.

The Pacers' most luxurious striker in the league made James gritted his teeth in annoyance. He knows the result of forced layup against these two men's defenses, so James didn't mess around this time. Although he was not convinced, he still gave the ball to Williams, who was standing in the corner.

"Drake Williams received the basketball, can he seize the opportunity!?"

As soon as Kenny Smith's voice fell, the basketball hit the side of the rim. Derek Williams, who came out suddenly, was not prepared at all. His shot was very stiff and crooked.

A large open three-pointer failed to score, which undoubtedly greatly affected the morale of the Cavaliers. James shook his head. Although he didn't lose his temper, he still couldn't hide his disappointment with Williams.

And after Tristan Thompson went off, Antetokounmpo was completely liberated. Tristan's defense isn't very good, but at least he can play hard against Antetokounmpo. But Derek Williams' opponent Antetokounmpo was defeated in all directions.

I saw Antetokounmpo pushing hard to the basket with his back, and then in Derek Williams' needless struggle, he jumped and buckled his opponent.

The 2.03 meter Drake Williams raised his arms under the basket, but his resistance was as insignificant as an ant. This kind of sheer crushing makes Williams even look pitiful.

10 to 0! As soon as the game started, Henson gave the Cavaliers and James a smash. With both Paul George and Antetokounmpo working hard, the Cavaliers were blown out on both offense and defense.

A deep sense of powerlessness spread throughout James, and he felt as if he was back in Miami...

The Cavaliers have the most terrifying forward on the planet, but the Pacers have the most luxurious forward on the planet.

How long can the Cavaliers last when James is unable to score?

The man sitting on the bench will become James' eternal nightmare.
