400 - Celtics vs Cavaliers - LeBron at the limit of physical strength

The rain in Boston was getting heavier and heavier, without any intention of stopping, as if it was to wash every unclean corner of the city, and the glass was crackling like firecrackers.

Similarly, the dome of the North Shore Garden was washed by rain, gathering into a stream of water as if someone was pouring it down with a basin. The audience at the half-time just went to the bathroom and quickly returned to the court. There was really nothing outside that could make people linger.

"Despicable" Brown spat on the sidelines, but he had no choice but to look at LeBron James who continued to explode on the court, but now he is somewhat constrained.

Another guy named James was lingering LeBron James tightly, and he was completely defensive and not defending his breakthrough. This was the third time LeBron had stood on the free throw line since the start of the third quarter, and the time was only 4 minutes.

"Aren't you afraid of saving enough fouls?" LeBron made two free throws again, staring at the dead old man Percy. This guy was so cruel, but it was just right, making you unable to make a technical foul and it was impossible to score 2+1, which made LeBron hate it.

On the other hand, when the Celtics attacked, he had to defend Ace, a slippery guy who was like a loach. He had to pass the ball without playing for more than 20 seconds and almost didn't bring any shots. The players on the Celtics were obedient and no one launched an attack, just so he kept the ball backwards endlessly.

LeBron knew very well that this was the tactic arranged by the opponent's coach, which was to drag him to death, but except for him, there were almost no one who could put pressure on Ace on the outside. If you were not careful, you were completely giving away points. Ace had made 2 of 4 shots in the past 4 minutes. Although he had blocked two of them one after another, he always felt that his momentum was not as strong as in the first half, but he felt like he was trapped in a quagmire.

On the other side, Ace bent his mouth slightly. If he hadn't used foul tactics to fuck LeBron in turn, he would have wanted to fight with the Cavaliers in this quarter.

LeBron, who attacked again, seemed to have learned to be smart. After attracting Percy and Ace's joint defense, he passed the ball and asked his teammates to help him complete the attack, reduce his own exercise and recover slowly. He could not consume a lot of money on both ends of the offense and defense.

"Bang" Maybe it was because he didn't shoot for a long time, or because he felt bad. In short, a assist was wasted by LeBron. His data was still 0 assists, but he was asked to pick up a few rebounds, and it would not be a problem to achieve a double-double today.

As the sound came out, "Eddie" immediately dropped the ball towards Eddie House who had already run away after grabbing the rebound.

LeBron is so frustrated, but at this time, he can't blame his teammates for quickly turning around and chasing him. He stood on the outside after passing the ball, and he was also the closest defender to Eddie House.

Eddie House ran in the front and LeBron was chasing behind him, and at this time he was already following him. As long as he dared to jump, LeBron could fly away from the field with the ball.

However, LeBron's running position is also very delicate, which largely avoided Eddie House's teammate who followed him from assisting and making a dunk on him, which would be a big deal.

The two entered the free throw line at the same time. LeBron was ready to jump and block. No matter whether Eddie House dunks or layups, he would be sure to slap the basketball as soon as he jumped into the air.

But as Eddie House continued to run, there was almost no shooting and space. Others were already directly under the basket. In LeBron's strange eyes, he looked at Eddie House in disguise and actually ran to the outside line, stopped outside the three-point line and slowly protected the ball, looking at LeBron with a smirk.

"Damn it," LeBron also understood. He had no intention of shooting at all, but just forced him to speed up and run back. Of course, he also estimated that if he hadn't caught up, he might have really shot this fast break.

After the Celtics were all in the position, Eddie House passed the ball to Ace who was receiving it, then shrugged and ran to the other side.

Ace was not in a hurry, and slowly brought the ball back to the top of the three-point line. LeBron had to change defense and follow him again, playing the game of cat and mouse again.

Finally, in the 7th minute of the third quarter, Cavaliers coach Brown helped replace LeBron and James to let him rest quickly. There is still one quarter to play, and the remaining five minutes became the Celtics' solo performance time.

Although the 15-point gap is not much, if the Cavaliers succeed every goal, they will not be able to catch up any points. However, if Ace's three-pointer is assisted by God, LeBron will speed up the offensive rhythm, while the Cavaliers will slow down and try to delay the game time. It seems that the tactics of the two teams have been reversed.

At the end of the third quarter, even though Ace's successive explosions narrowed the gap between the two teams to 6 points, and did not completely turn the tables, but this was enough. The Celtics sent 7 fouls on LeBron in just the third quarter. However, today LeBron seemed to have entered a super god state, and his hands were red, but he still hit all the free throws, which made the Celtics helpless.

"We played very well. We will decide the outcome with them in the next fourth quarter." Doug Rivers spent a lot of money. Now Eddie House and James Posey have committed 4 fouls on them, and Ace has also committed 3 fouls on his back. Fortunately, it is now in the fourth quarter, otherwise these three people are really dangerous.

"Ace, how strong are you, do you need a rest?" Doug Rivers asked proactively, forgot about the embarrassment of the first half.

"I think you should ask LeBron if he can support today's game." As Ace said, other teammates laughed. LeBron was really hard-working today. He played almost three quarters by himself, but his appearance was also effective. 77:71 This is the score of the two teams in three quarters, and LeBron now scored 54 points by himself, which is extremely exaggerated.

"I guess he will play in the fourth quarter. He should be without any pressure to break 60 points today," Pierce said with an interesting smile.

"If he can get 81 points, it will be fun. Ace, you won't be moved. Do you want you to have a score battle?" Garnett also quipped.

"Me? Come on, I won't do that kind of thankless thing. Besides, even if you want to break the record, you have to play in a regular season without pressure. I can't afford to play in the playoffs," Ace said quickly.

"Okay, boys, Pierce, Garnett, Perkins, Tony, Ace, prepare to play and defeat the Clevelanders in one fell swoop, so that they can know who is the master here." Doug Rivers changed all the main players at once. This is Ace's advantage. He can support the third quarter alone and give the main teammates more rest time. Of course, no team dares to put all the main players in the third quarter to fight Ace.

No one can underestimate a guy who can score stably in the whole game. This is one of the reasons why all teams are rushing to invite Ace. Without further ado, the fourth quarter has begun.

LeBron played 7 minutes in the third quarter, and the short 5-6 minutes of rest was not enough to allow him to play immediately. This is one of the shortcomings of the Cavaliers. A team of one person cannot shine in the whole game after all. Even if there is a big Ben in the inside line now, Garnett is not a spectator after all, and his overall strength is even slightly better.

Ace, who put down the heavy responsibility of attack, can start passing the ball freely. As the saying goes, one mind cannot be used for both purposes. Ace is the same. Ace is more willing to pass the ball. In Ace's words, it is easier. He prefers to watch his teammates play together and score points, rather than grab points alone. Although it is dazzling enough, the offense wins the audience and the defense wins the game. Ace now begins to assist in defense and use regional joint defense to limit Big Ben's efforts.

To be precise, Ace's firefighter is now on the outside. Once Pierce cuts into the defense, he and Tony Allen will be exhausted from running around the outside to minimize the situation of the leak.

Pierce and Garnett began to explode, just like LeBron James in the first three quarters, two people with one attack and one defense. In just three minutes, the Celtics made a 8:0 climax, finally overtaking their opponent for the first time and holding the advantage in their own hands for the first time.

At this moment, McBrown couldn't help but sit still, even LeBron couldn't sit still. The effect they wanted today was to win a first game in one go. Now the Celtics are a little fluttering no matter how they say it. They want to seize this opportunity and overturn the Celtics before talking about it. They are leading by 3 quarters, and they don't want to give in at this moment.

"Let me get on!" LeBron stood up and hurriedly ran to the technical desk to apply for a replacement.

Brown can't do anything to say now. Now the entire team is relying on LeBron alone. If he wins the Celtics tonight, then LeBron alone will be a battle to become a god today. What does it feel like to beat the Big Three, especially Ace, who is now the first point guard in the league.

In the 5th minute of the fourth quarter, LeBron stood on the court again. When Pierce looked at LeBron, who was dry and sweating tightly for a round, he began to sweat. Pierce knew very well that LeBron was almost at his physical limit.

He is not like Ace. Ace's physical strength is extraordinary and enough to support the whole game, but he has to run back every minute and keep accelerating. As expected, he has to be carried out to shoot and layups throughout the game. Ace, who has extraordinary physical strength, will try his best to rest in every game. Except for the team sometimes that the team needs him to basically not make special breakthroughs or score points, he will beat others with strength even in the third quarter. So LeBron is now really pursuing his willpower.

"It's enough, but can I hold on?" Pierce said with the ball in both hands and heading to LeBron.

"Stop talking nonsense!" LeBron said gasping. This was the second round of his tight match with Pierce, which had already consumed so much.

Of course, Pierce won't sympathize with them. They only have one goal, that is, to win the game and get closer to the O'Brien Cup.

'Since you are not tired, then be more ruthless' Pierce was also ruthless, and forced LeBron to crush the inside little by little. If he played muscles with LeBron before the opening, then Pierce would definitely not be the opponent. But now it is different. Pierce, who has been resting for nearly 40 minutes, is not the same as LeBron, who is almost at the limit.

LeBron already felt like he gave up and continued to fight, but he was trying hard to fight Pierce. When he entered the colored area, he could no longer hold it. He could only pray that God would let him not make the ball. It was very difficult for him to jump up now.

"Paul, here!" Pierce heard this and turned around and passed the ball to Ace who was on the outside.

"Defeat him, do it again!" Ace also gritted her teeth and said. Ace was also angry now. Since you want to fight LeBron, then fight thoroughly. The next game depends on how you fight.

Pierce was stunned. She never thought Ace would do this, but then she came to the outside line again and received Ace's pass. LeBron seemed to be in a horny position at this time and rushed back to Pierce who was holding the ball.

"Damn it, you bastards!" Brown yelled directly at the stadium. How could he not see that he was forcibly forcing LeBron to consume his physical strength, and it was the most consumed low-level singles and back-to-body singles.

"Okay! Just keep going like this, everyone will follow Ace's command." Doug Rivers was the same as Ace's thoughts. Are you LeBron strong? Then you will be exhausted in the next few minutes. Even if this is a loss, then you don't want to play well in the next game. At the same time, Doug Rivers is not afraid of failure, because he has Ace, and there are three points to curb the opponent at critical moments. At worst, the whole team will try to let Ace attack.

Different voices couldn't help but be in the audience. Even fans who were watching TV who were paying attention to this game began to discuss it. It turned out that some fans who liked Ace also began to turn against each other. They had the ability to do one-on-one. What kind of heroes would be considered to be if they consumed their physical strength and won. The Cavaliers who had become stronger throughout the game seemed to be a vulnerable group at this time, and received the majority of support. Many neutral fans who came on the scene also began to cheer for the Cavaliers.

"Hahahaha, okay, OK, Ace finally has a greedy heart to win, that's it, defeat him." Old Nelson jumped up and turned around in front of the TV, making his wife laugh and cry.

Similarly, other coaches also saw Ace's changing mentality in this game. He was no longer like Ace who was floating around and outside the field at will, but was a dangerous killer who was fully focused on the game.

"It's really troublesome. I hope this is just a tactical change." Phil watched the game live broadcast. As a coach who had advised Ace, he certainly knew Ace very well. In some time with the Lakers, he had never seen Ace so passionate about the game.

"Enjoy the game, kid, finally I feel the fun of the game." Pat Riley, who was in Miami, said with a smile. He was the first coach to come into contact with Ace, and the first coach to dare to give a rookie main position. At that time, he had two big names such as White Chocolate Williams and Glove Payton. In fact, Riley was the one who made Ace. Without his support, Ace could play as a main player in the Heat, where defenders gathered, at most he would be a bench gangster.

Players with different ideas from the coach have another experience. Kobe and Sean Livingston thought about it in their hearts. It is enough to be satisfied to fight with such an Ace. Only by having the heart to win can one be called a professional basketball player, rather than a so-called basketball star.

LeBron seemed to be on the same quarrel as Pierce, "Come on, come on again." LeBron yelled directly on the court with his chest muscles.

"Damn it" Pierce got up from the ground and spat, glaring at LeBron fiercely.

"Can you do it, boss, you won't be old, I won't be able to switch to my defense." Ace pulled Pierce from the basket and said sarcastically.

"Boy, you were still playing Niu Niu when I was playing basketball. The ball was passed to me later." Pierce patted his butt and ran towards LeBron's position. The two bulls were like red-eyed. Now, what do you care about, it's starting to waste.

"I don't believe it anymore. I won't score three points today, it depends on whether I can kill you."

Garnett, who was standing at the bottom line, looked at Ace in surprise, smiled and sent it out. He was helpless when LeBron hit the slash just now, and now the two teams seem to be fighting one-on-one to break through.

LeBron broke through Big Ben and helped him get out of the position. Pierce broke through, and Garnett also helped him get stuck in the inside. The scores of the two teams are now completely in a stalemate. If you score a goal, I will get back one goal. The scores of the two teams lead by two points, and then tied, leading by two points, tied.

"Beep" the Celtic requests a pause.

Ace glanced at the coach seat strangely. How could he call a timeout first at this time? Wouldn't he give LeBron a chance to rest? If he calls, the Cavaliers should call first.

It's not just Ace who is puzzled. The entire Celtic team is unsolvable. I'm confused and quickly return to the sidelines to listen to how the coach arranged it.

"LeBron has consumed enough. Next, Ace uses three-pointers to open the gap, so he doesn't have to fight with him." Doug Rivers said directly, dispelling the players' doubts.

"No," Ace shook his head and said.

"Why" Doug Rivers said strangely, and even felt a little shocked. Could it be that Ace's three-pointer is not enough?

"This is momentum. If we change it first, the Cavaliers will think we are afraid of them. If their touch is hot in the last two minutes and they can't stand it at all, should Garnett pull out the double-team LeBron?" Ace briefly analyzed that in other words, if he is double-teamed, he would not be able to make three-pointers at this time, but he and Pierce can't limit LeBron, who has been overdrawn. Now this guy is in a fight of willpower.

"Do you have to fight for the final foul tactic?" Doug Rivers was still a little unwilling, but what Ace said was not unreasonable.

"It's okay, the final offense is changing. It's really not good. Kevin and Perkins both came out to help me pick-and-roll. Now I have to continue fighting, which will definitely consume LeBron. I don't believe that he still has such a brave momentum in the next game," Ace said affirmatively.

"Okay, fight hard, hurry up and rest," Doug Rivers said immediately.

However, unexpectedly, the Cavaliers did not continue a timeout to help LeBron recover his strength, but instead started the game directly.

At this time, Ace also noticed that LeBron did not sit down at all, but kept walking back and forth in the rest area.

"Use up the timeout, don't want it." Ace once again stopped his teammates from playing.

"Huh?" Doug Rives looked at Ace strangely. Now he only had a long timeout left in his hand. This time he called for the next 3 minutes, but he couldn't call for a timeout.

"LeBron dared not rest, he was afraid he would lose his state." As soon as Ace said, everyone noticed that LeBron was running quickly to the court and wanted to start the game as soon as possible.
