Chapter 1097: The mantis arm is used as a car, and it is crushed into flesh (4/5!)
At the end of the first quarter, the Cavaliers players ended up dejectedly.
On the bench, James stared at the scoreboard blankly, even forgot to bite his fingers.
George seemed a little absent-minded. This place was actually not where he wanted to come.
Love was hit by Whiteside and was knocked away without resistance like the defense on the field.
The Cavaliers were stunned by the Pelicans in one quarter.
Lu was also a little at a loss at this time. He had expected a lot before the game, but he didn't expect the game to be like this.
"Guys!"
Before Lu spoke, Wade reached out to bring all the players together.
"I don't know why they were so in good shape in the first quarter. Maybe they were encouraged before the game, or maybe they were just in good shape.
But believe me, they won't keep that way. We try to defend and attack well, and we still have a chance.
What the Warriors can do, we can do it.
Think about what our goals are this season, and we can definitely overcome the difficulties in front of us!”
Wade played the role of the locker room boss at a critical moment. After a burst of chicken soup, he could feel that the morale of the Cavaliers team members had obviously returned.
James looked at Wade with intimacy.
He is not a person who is good at inspiring his teammates with words, and Wade is good at this.
Their cooperation is as close as it was in Miami.
Although, he once lost to Wade.
But they don't care about those details.
After hearing Wade's words, Lu slapped his head and realized his tactics.
"We focus our main energy on offense and fight with them to attack. Our offensive talent is no worse than theirs."
Lu's words showed his tactical genius ability, and the members of the Cavaliers also reacted.
James immediately arranged tactics with the tactical board.
In the second quarter, they want to fight back!
When we came back in the second quarter, both sides were the main players leading the substitutes.
The Pelicans are led by Walker and Davis, while the Cavaliers are led by James and Love.
Walker and Davis continued their excellent form in the first quarter and were very efficient on the offensive end.
However, the Cavaliers attacked with all their strength in this quarter, and James scored with all kinds of overbearing.
The two teams were in a stalemate in the substitute connection, and the Cavaliers even brought the score closer.
Lu's eyes were shining when he saw him off the court.
Sure enough, his strategy was right!
The Cavaliers are not worthy of the Pelicans!
The quarter ended in more than five minutes, and the score on the field was 49 to 35, and the Cavaliers had already narrowed the gap to 14 points.
Stevens called a pause.
After the timeout, the lineups of both teams have been greatly adjusted.
All five of the Cavaliers came back.
The Pelicans have a lineup that they have never used before.
Tang Tian and Butler on the outside, Siakam and Davis on the front line, and Dedmond on the center.
The average height of this lineup is very tall, and the shortest Butler is 2.01 meters.
And more importantly, Tang Tian plays as a point guard in this lineup!
Stevens has really moved closer to Popovich this season and started various shows.
The Pelicans' offense is suspended.
Tang Tian held the ball from the outside, and Davis took the pick-and-roll.
The Cavaliers chose to double-team Tang Tian. Tang Tian hit the earth and passed through the double-team, and the ball was steadily passed to Davis.
Davis took the ball and threw it into the basket before Whiteside assisted in defense.
This goal helped the Pelicans stabilize the situation.
The Cavaliers' offense and James' organization, but the tactics on the off-ball side were not played several times.
He finally chose to rush directly to the basket, and his strong shot caused Dedmon to make a defensive foul and got two extra free throws.
But it was a pity that he had both free throws and failed to hit.
Defensive rebound was taken away by Dedmon.
Tang Tian held the ball to the frontcourt and continued to organize the offense.
During the pause, Stevens said he was still a little surprised when he asked him to play point guard.
After all, although he is good at passing the ball, he is at most an all-around forward.
But after really playing, I found that it was actually no different from the previous game.
Isn’t this the Pelicans’ No. 1 singles tactic that ends the box!
Or he can play point guard after his possession is improved.
Stevens' reaction was still very fast.
Davis continued to lift the pick-and-roll, and this time the Cavaliers chose to change.
Just as the change was completed, Tang Tian broke through the right and passed Love, which was smoother than crossing the road in the early morning.
And after passing, Tang Tian accelerated in one step, not giving the Cavaliers a chance to assist in the weak side.
Whiteside saved from the basket, and Tang Tian threw the ball into the air.
Dedmond jumped up and succeeded in the air dunk.
His ability to eat cakes is already online. After coming to the Pelican, he would eat too much cake, and he would become a cake king.
The Cavaliers' frontcourt tactics were still not played out.
At this moment, many talents on the scene realized the purpose of the Pelicans lineup.
Letting Tang Tian play point guard is not the main purpose.
The main purpose of this lineup is defense!
This is the strongest defensive lineup that the Pelicans can rank!
Stevens has a very accurate grasp of the situation on the field.
Isn’t your Cavaliers fighting for offense? Then I’ll have a super lock defense, and you can score like before and you will win!
James finally carried the explosive bag and killed it again. After encountering double-teaming, he passed the ball to George.
However, the Pelicans assisted in defense quickly, and George did not know how to play the phone, so he could only choose to take the ball.
He dribbled through and broke through, pushing to the free throw line against Butler's defense. The jump shot of the emergency stop was disturbed and the basketball hit the box.
Davis received defensive rebounds.
This time the Pelicans directly played defensive counterattack, with Tang Tian and Butler having two-on-one in the frontcourt.
Tang Tian made a false breakthrough and his signature back pass to Butler, who easily made a layup.
55 to 35!
After the timeout, the Pelicans played a 6-0 offensive, widening the gap to 20 points!
Lu started to panic again at this time.
His tactical genius attributes were temporary, and the situation on the field changed rapidly, and he was left with only opening his mouth and dazed.
The Cavaliers' frontcourt tactics are still unstoppable, and the Pelicans' lineup's defensive oppressiveness is too strong.
This is not a difficulty breathing, it is a feeling of suffocation!
At the critical moment, veteran Wade used the ball to break into the inside and won a foul after confronting Davis.
However, when he landed on the ground, he fell on his arm and suffered some flaws.
Two free throw opportunities, one big and the other small, both were lost!
Dedmon grabbed the defensive rebound.
The Pelicans attacked the frontcourt position and Tang Tian organized it again.
Before Lu could react, Drew jumped up and reached out to signal the tactics to change.
Davis put the pick-and-roll again and tried it, and the Cavaliers directly contracted to the middle, not giving the two people a chance to attack.
However, Tang Tian had a wide vision, and a straight pass ball that didn't look at people was steadily sent to Butler, who was cutting the bottom line.
"Bang!"
Butler jumped up after getting the ball, smashing the ball into the basket with both hands.
There was an uproar in the scene.
Chapter completed!
