Although Kenny Smith and Barkley are already the commentators with the most matches in TNT commentary Bobcats, they don’t know much about Tucker, who has little playing time.
All they know is, it's a striker with a bad shot but a good body.
During Sam Vincent's era, Tucker basically sat on the bench.
In the Doug Rivers era, Tucker occasionally appeared, but because he mostly played in garbage time, he didn't have any too eye-catching or convincing performance.
As a result, in this game, Tucker encountered Lebang during the same garbage time...
Lebang was actually a little depressed. At the end of the third quarter, he hit 6 of 16 shots against Li Ke's defense.
Actually, it's not bad. You know, facing Li Ke's defense, Lebang made a 2907-level shot.
With the entire fourth quarter still in the game, and the suspense of the game has almost ended, Lebang originally wanted to take advantage of the start of the fourth quarter to make a shot, and by the way, see if there is still a possibility of a comeback.
It's not difficult to hit 6 of 16 shots, but it really isn't too difficult to score more than 50%.
However, the emergence of Tucker, the dark horse, shattered Lebang's plan.
His shot not only failed to hit the number he wanted, but continued to slide down.
After playing for more than two minutes, LeBon, who made 6 of 16, became 7 of 19, was replaced by Bread Brown during the dead ball stage.
...
"After the game, 106 to 85, the Bobcats, who played at home, ended the suspense of the game early, and won the first game of the series with a huge advantage of 21 points."
At the moment the fourth quarter ended, Kenny Smith first announced the result of the game, and then the summary stage was the summary stage.
"Although it was a away game, I lost 20 points in three quarters. The Cavaliers in this game still lost a little badly, which was a bit unacceptable. Charles, where do you think the Cavaliers in this game lost?"
As a neutral side, TNT's commentators could speak freely, but Kenny Smith threw a somewhat sensitive issue to Barkley at this moment.
Barkley didn't think so much, and was very straightforward: "It's no doubt that if a team loses the game, its star must take all the blame unless his data in this game is perfect..."
Lebang's data is obviously incompatible with perfection. He made 7 of 19 shots and only scored 17 points, a data that could not even pass the exam.
On the other hand, Li Ke only played for three quarters, with the same 19 shots, hitting 10 goals and scoring 25 points.
This rare attack started with Li Ke, and Li Ke also played the C-shot performance in the Bobcats.
This comparison is too strong.
TNT's commentator, Kenny Smith was used to the style of telling the truth to Barkley, and was not surprised. He even followed Barkley and said, "I don't know if LeBron still thinks that they have the power to fight with the Bobcats at this moment..."
For the time being, no one knows what Lebang is thinking now.
Because as soon as the competition ended, Lebang left in a hurry.
In the subsequent post-match interview, he also found a reason and directly thanked the guests behind closed doors.
Behind the scenes, Ricci Paul does not agree with LeBon's handling: "LeBron, we should not refuse interviews from reporters. The more this time, the more necessary you will be to express your views in public..."
"What can I say when I put on a horse? Can I admit that the Knight is far inferior to the Bobcat?"
"No, you should be determined, in the next game, you and your Cavaliers will make a comeback!"
Ricci Paul taught Lebang to do things, but Lebang shook his head: "My Knight? You seem to have forgotten something, Ricci."
“…”
Lebang is escaping, but the Bricks have no intention of showing mercy.
In ESPN's post-match program, tactical expert Mark Stein carefully analyzed the Cavaliers' failure.
"From the four losses in the regular season, the Cavaliers lost without exception because of LeBron and Sheldon's offense and defense, and their offense was a bit silent, but Sheldon's teammates could stand up and take over the offensive banner, but LeBron's teammates could not."
"After the trade deadline, where does LeBron's confidence come from? In fact, it can be seen from their deal with Antoine Jamison. LeBron believes that since there is no problem with defense, and Antoine Jamison joins the offensive end, he also has teammates who can stand up and score in adversity."
"As a result, the real fight in the playoffs made LeBron's confident teammates look like headless flies and can't find the direction."
"Mo Williams is still LeBron's best teammate, he scored the second highest 19 points in the Cavaliers, but his efficiency is average."
"Richard Hamilton is the one who is completely out of touch. Without LeBron's sudden score, he could not find the feeling of attack at all. He only scored 9 points in the whole game."
"In the end, Antoine Jamison, who was highly anticipated by LeBron, was also poor in his performance against Gerard Wallace's fixed-point single defense, with only 11 points in the whole game."
In other words, only Xiao Mo is normal for the offensive trio that Lebang has high expectations.
But this is not the key, because Big Z has become a big hit, facing Jordan and Kua No. 1 pick, and he is not at a disadvantage. When facing Tucker, he also won a big hit. He scored 22 points, 10 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 big hats in the game, which is considered to be a strength and level of the All-Star center.
With this teammate, the Cavaliers shouldn't have lost so badly.
"The most important thing is LeBron's dumb fire. His dumb fire has caused the Cavaliers to be hard to play in the offensive and offensive that they are best at. The Cavaliers obviously do not have tactical reserves other than LeBron's dumb attack. In this regard, McBrown is problematic."
So, after Maxtan's analysis, it was finally Bread Brown who carried everything.
It can only be said that Maxtann has not realized that the Cavaliers can only attack suddenly, and the blame is not on McBrown.
McBrown was also helpless. He also wanted to develop more offensive systems, but he was helpless, someone would not allow it...
...
The Eastern Conference semi-finals Bobcats vs. Cavaliers, the first game of the series, the Cavaliers' defeat was a bit explosive.
But the two teams, the Bobcats and the Cavaliers, are a little quiet.
As the side of the defeat, there is no need to say more about the Cavaliers' quietness. No one is willing to talk big when they lose the game.
As the side of the victory, the Bobcats didn't say much about this victory either.
Li Ke, who was interviewed after the game, expressed his meaning in his words: "I have said earlier that the Cavaliers are not our opponents, and I have nothing to say about such an expected victory..."
So, Charlotte, the playoffs time was consumed so quietly.
In another semi-final in the Eastern Conference, the Magic defeated the Hawks with a big score at home.
It was also at home that Dwight Howard held up another Dpoy trophy for him.
Coupled with last year's regular season MVPDpoy, Sparks have completely reached his peak.
The so-called "single exchange for Lebang" is also at this time.
But Li Ke knew that the decline of the spark was not far away.
Speaking of which, the decline of the spark was a bit sudden, with injuries and the reason why it was unable to integrate after transferring to the Lakers.
Li Ke believes that there should be Stan Van Gundy's reasons.
In fact, looking at Sparks' career, his peak was played under the coaching of Stan Van Gundy.
Leaving Stan Van Gundy, the monster becomes the so-called happy beast.
"Although Dpoy is not as good as MVP, it is also a heavyweight personal honor. I want to..."
If Li Ke remembers it correctly, from last season to next season, Sparks have accomplished a three-game succession of Dpoy.
Li Ke was ready to challenge him, but he also knew that before his assisted defense was not improved and his tactical positioning on the defensive end had not changed, he should have no chance to challenge the peak monster at this time.
In the first game of the semi-finals, the Lakers' dominance is even greater than the first round of the playoffs. They didn't even exert much effort against the Jazz, and they directly locked in the victory in three and a half quarters.
Judging from the content of the game, this new double evil spirit composed of Deron and Boozer is about to come to an end.
"Carlos Boozer's contract expires after the end of this season. Judging from the situation of the Jazz, it shouldn't be renewed."
There is Millsap on the Jazz's bench, and it is understandable that he will not renew his contract. As a spectator, Li Ke thought of—
From Sir to Boozer, and then to Zhan Weibo in the east, the free market will be very lively next year. Will the Bobcats have the chance to get involved?
So his eyes fixed on Boozer.
After thinking about it carefully, I shook my head.
Whether it is Deron or Boozer, after leaving Jazz or Jerry Sloan's system, they are no longer at the peak, and even decline a bit big.
"If you really want to grab it, except for Zhan Weibo, only Amare is worth grabbing, but the risk is not small..."
The remaining game in the West is the Nuggets vs. Spurs.
As the Galaxy battleship, the Nuggets should win easily, but in this game, they struggled quite hard against the impact of GDP. It was not until the last moment of the game that they relied on Billups' buzzer-beating three-pointer to secure the victory.
Despite this, the industry's bricks are still optimistic about the Nuggets. They changed their perspective to this difficult victory and blew up: "If the Nuggets last year were difficult to make progress in the West, this year's Nuggets will definitely be able to make a breakthrough. The main reason is the joining of Chauncey Billups, which is a powerful proof."
"In good times, they have Melo's offensive kaleidoscope, adversity, they have Shaq's inside strong play, desperate times, they have Chaunce's key goal."
Li Ke touched his chin and said, "This wave was to steal the future Heat, Ray Allen's Heat."
...
In the four semi-finals of the East and West, there was no upset in the first game.
The second battle was still the leader of the Bobcats against the Knights. After two days of time, the Knights did not lose confidence, and the Bobcats did not underestimate the enemy.
Compared with the first game, the Bobcats' strategy has not changed much, and it is Li Ke, who is trying to shoot from the outside.
There are shots whenever you catch the ball, and there are shots after singles.
The overall efficiency is not as good as the first game, mainly because the Cavaliers strengthened their defense against Li Ke. At some positions, they need to face the strong interference of Lebang.
Li Ke was strictly guarded and Curry, who should have played a role, was in a normal state and missed some of the original must-scoring goals.
However, the Bobcats relied on Hua Lao Er and Lao Martin to win the game.
The game won, but the Bobcats won not win much in this game.
At the end of the third quarter, they only led by 7 points.
In the fourth quarter, Lebang once made a mid-range shot, dragging the Bobcats toward victory.
But at the last moment of the final quarter, Li Ke, who had not entered the penalty area for a long time, suddenly played a low single for four rounds, and directly tore a hole.
Faced with Li Ke's trump card, the Cavaliers finally breathed a sigh of relief.
At the end of the game, the Bobcats held an advantage of 11 points.
Judging from the score, this is still a victory without any suspense, but it is this score that allows the Cavaliers to see hope.
emmm, not the hope of winning the series, but the hope of rejecting the sweep.
In fact, after these two playoffs, the Bobcats' restraint against the Cavaliers is already obvious.
This restraint mainly comes from Li Ke's successful defense against Lebang.
In terms of data, the first game is quite obvious. In the second game, Lebang, who made a long shot in the last quarter, made 10 of 23 shots, with 27 points being scored. Li Ke's restrictions on him were not that obvious.
But the Bricks knew that as long as Li Ke could force Lebang to float away from the outside and shoot, his defense would be successful.
Because the Bobcat's restraint on the knights was mainly Li Ke's blockade of the knight's division system.
As long as the Knights' rupture system is blocked, Xiao Mo, Hamilton and Jamison, the three major Knights' musketeers will be difficult to play, and the Knights' offense will be finished.
Once the Cavaliers' offense was finished, they naturally won the game without any flash.
Unless Lebang can break through Li Ke's blockade...
However, a breakthrough is impossible, unless at this time, Lebang learns from Li Ke and suddenly takes out a trump card for playing singles at a low position or a high position to play singles.
Can Lebang get it out?
He can't take it out!
The ending of this series is already destined.
After 0-2 in the series, the Cavaliers' goal became: no matter what, win it first!
As for the bobcats, from beginning to end, they all have only one target to sweep the Knights.
...
In the second game of the eastern and western semi-finals, the Bobcats defeated the Cavaliers without any suspense, the Magic swept the Hawks again, and the Lakers also easily killed the Jazz.
The only surprise was that the Nuggets vs. The Spurs. In the first game, the Nuggets won a difficult time and barely passed the score with Billups' winning three-pointer.
In the second game, they still couldn't withstand the impact of GDP and eventually lost to Manuginobili, who scored 13 points in the last quarter. The series draws 1-1, which is the only anxious series in the East and West semi-finals.
On May 8, the eastern and western semi-finals began to shift positions, and the Bobcats rushed to Cleveland.
At the Quick Loan Center in Cleveland, Li Ke stood on the sidelines, watching Lebang helplessly, and in front of the fans of Kecheng, he held up the regular season MVP trophy that he was thinking about...
"I didn't care, Sheldon, this is normal. Your qualifications are not as good as LeBron..."
Rivers comforted Li Ke, and Li Ke nodded:
"I know, I need to line up, I understand, let's line up."
Let's line up. As for this season, Li Ke has become more determined to sweep the Cavaliers.
He wants to let people know that the so-called difference in winning games is actually a bit superficial.
The gap between the Bobcats and the Cavaliers is much higher than this win.
Chapter completed!
