"Rebounding boards!"

I don’t know who shouted on the court, and Jordan jumped up like a rocket.

but……

He judged the wrong point of the rebound and failed to take off!

After moving slightly, Big Z, who has more experience, picks up the rebound and makes a tip-in.

Swish—!

"Big    Z grabbed the rebound and made a tip-in!"

"The Cavaliers finally scored!"

From a certain perspective, Big Z's tip-in saved the Cavaliers in this game.

Because of the next few minutes of the game, the Cavaliers felt the so-called playoff-level defensive intensity on the Bobcats.

"The Bobcats' round is still Sheldon, this time it's a single... I pushed forward with my back, turned around, shook for a while, and was still a mid-range shot, but I took a step back!"

"The ball is in, 6-2, and the Bobcats are still leading!"

"The Cavaliers' round, LeBron James, tried and made a breakthrough, no result..."

"LeBron can only take action in the middle distance... or not!"

“…”

Since Mo handed over the main attack power to Lebang, Lebang used his practical actions to tell the public what the person who killed the little emperor looked like.

Kenny Smith in the commentary seat helped count: "From the offense in the second leg of the game, LeBron has missed four consecutive mid-range shots. Now, his shot is 0 of 4 shots, not a single point!"

"In contrast, Sheldon..."

Barkley was even more polite. He directly pulled Li Ke out and compared it with Lebang.

"In addition to missing one at the opening shot, he made a 3-for-3 shot for the next three goals, and his overall shot is 3-for-4, scoring 6 points."

Lebang was actually a little helpless, and he knew that Li Ke was too relaxed in preventing him.

If you think about it carefully, since Li Ke entered the league and Lebang faced Li Ke, he has not received much fruit.

For this round of series, Lebang's original expectation was that Li Ke, who was learning from the first round of the playoffs, would restrain Li Ke's defense, secretly give the heavy responsibility of offense to his teammates, and focus on defense by himself.

In Lebang's opinion, the Bobcats and the Cavaliers are no different, and they are both teams that rely extremely on the team's top stars.

As a result, Li Ke's opening shot felt and the pressure turned to Lebang's side.

Faced with the pressure, Lebang could only bite the bullet and shoot, and then it was 4-0.

Lebang made 0 of 4 shots, and the Cavaliers scored only by Big Z's tip-off.

On the sidelines, Bread Brown, who was supervising the game, was also a little helpless.

In this game, the Bobcats' defense was too targeted, and every position was matched. The only advantageous match that Bread Brown could find was Xiao Mo against Curry.

As a result, the Bobcat was still on Xiao Mo's side and added a target of assisting defense.

It can be said that Brown can no longer find a strong point on the offensive end that he can rely on.

But the 2-8 score at the opening game still forced Bread Brown to call out the first timeout at the opening game...

"The Cavaliers have been suspended, and their attack at the beginning can be said to be extremely poor..."

Kenny Smith shook his head, but Barkley said, "No, it's better to say that the Bobcats' defense is too strong than that the Cavaliers' offense is extremely poor."

"Doug Rivers' targeted adjustment is so excellent. Wesley Matthews's move to replace Kenyon and Martin directly revitalize their defense."

The sidelines, the timeout was paused, and Rivers thought to himself.

The starter of this game was just his inspiration, but now it looks very good.

The good reason is that he thinks this lineup is more flexible and more changeable.

"If DeAndre was taken down and another striker, would this lineup be more flexible and more varied?"

In the 1990s, Pat Riley predicted that the future basketball lineup would be composed of five all-round small forwards, with similar heights, and everyone could attack, defend and organize, becoming an omnipotent group.

Rivers' thinking at this moment made him feel a bit like basketball in the future.

His eyes searched in the Bobcat's bench for a while, and finally frozen on PJ Tucker.

Rivers wanted to give it a try, but he didn't make it because of the importance of the game, so he was not allowed to try this way.

In this way, the pause time, Rivers made the most common arrangement.

Turning his head, when the game starts, he tilted his head to ask the offensive assistant Armond Hill:

"If I replace DeAndre now and replace PJ, how do you think the situation on the field will change?"

"Switch to PJ? Apart from Stephen, four swingers are left?"

Armond Hill shook his head: "Who will win the big Z like this?"

"Why do you have to go to the big Z? Just give him a chance to misplace, can he still make a big splash?"

Armond Hill was stunned for a moment, but Rivers became gushing: "Not only can he not make the best, he will also be exhausted by the fast movement of the five forward guards on the field..."

"No, I still think it's wrong!"

Armond Hill interrupted Rivers, "Big Z may not be able to make a big deal, but what about changing Big Z to Dwight Howard?"

"A data that is not accurate but not very different, Dwight Howard's real height may be only 2.08 meters, Sheldon's height is already 2.02 meters, and the real difference between him and Dwight Howard is only 6cm..."

"So, you mean, Sheldon can go to Dwight Howard?"

The height difference of 6cm is actually not big. After all, in the league, there are indeed some players who are only over 2 meters tall playing in the center and are facing the spark.

Of course, it is hard to say whether you can withstand the spark.

But Rivers felt that among the players above 2 meters, Li Ke could withstand the spark.

Because he believed that Li Ke's single defense ability could make up for the height gap of 6cm.

Li Ke's power, bounce, will not suffer any loss when facing sparks, and his speed is even better than sparks.

Overall, the only problem is height and wingspan.

However, Li Ke's top single defense can indeed make up for the disadvantage of height and wingspan to a certain extent.

"Then let's say Sheldon can withstand Dwight Howard, and then what can we get from this five-squad?"

Looking at Rivers nodding, Armond Hill had already recognized that Li Ke was able to withstand the spark, but then he raised another question.

"More flexible offense and defense, more change offense and defense, and more critically, the center generally does not have long shots, but people generally have long shots when swaying forwards, and more pitchers mean a wider space on the field..."

Rivers' interpretation made Amund Hill silent, but after a moment, Amund Hill's deep brows stretched out, and replaced them with excitement.

"Is there any trouble?"

"certainly!"

Back in this game, Rivers did not aggressively try his new ideas.

Because he knew that without a complete system and mature practice, this style of play would not appear on the playoffs.

But on the field, the Bobcats' game progress was still very smooth.

Faced with the targeted defense of the Bobcats, Bread Brown actually had no good solution. After the timeout, the response he gave was only added some pick-and-roll.

The main attacker was Lebang, but he was a feint.

The Knight relied on Lebang's breakthrough after covering the cover and tore the Bobcat's defense.

The last breakout is divided, and the ball is divided into the outside line.

The fight is very simple, and the effect is a little bit.

At least, the Cavaliers' outside, Mo, Richard Hamilton and Jamison all got some easy shots.

As long as you have a chance, you will get points.

However, compared with the Bobcats, the attack gradually activated by the Knight is not very good enough.

After the timeout, the Bobcats' offense, they need to face a Cavalier who also adjusted their defense after the timeout.

Because of Li Ke's strength at the beginning, the Cavaliers had to change the original Lebang's single defense strategy and added some auxiliary defense.

The main purpose is to assist the inside line, so that Lebang can prevent Li Ke's shot without worries.

But when assisting OnePlus to defend against the front, Curry will be under less pressure.

The core of the Bobcats automatically transferred to Curry's side, and the attack was still extremely smooth.

In the second half of the first quarter, Li Ke even received the pass from Curry after running empty-handed, and made a three-pointer.

Kenny Smith's summary: "In the beginning, the Bobcats' defense completely locked the Cavaliers. After adjustment, the game turned into a pure Bobcats' offense that beats the Cavaliers' offense..."

At the end of the first quarter, the Bobcats led by as many as 11 points with a huge score.

Lebang was a little desperate with such a score.

And Lebang, in despair, will only get worse and worse...
