Time Warner Center, this highly anticipated tiebreak battle has finally started.

Although the Cavaliers were unilaterally speaking before the game, and they didn't look strong, when they arrived at the game, the tension and oppression still came to their faces.

Li Ke was also a little nervous. Before the game, some media pointed out that his tiebreak rate was 100%.

It seems that this is to make him feel confident, but in fact, Li Ke has only played a tiebreak once in his career.

In the first round of the playoffs in 2009, they played with the Heat until the tiebreak.

The tiebreak battle was quite fierce. At the last moment, Li Ke, who was in the second grade, scored 11 points in a row and led the team to win.

A 100% winning rate of 700 in a game is indeed not worth mentioning, and it does not give you much confidence.

The reason why the media mentioned this is more because Li Ke defeated Wade in that tiebreak seven.

But now, everything is completely different from three years ago.

Wade has two superstar helpers, Lebang and Bo Giant, but Li Ke has only a growing but still young Curry.

"It's a tiebreak, and the Cavaliers' performance has given us a lot of surprises. Now, it's the best way to get Elvin Gentry to be the head coach this season."

"Gentry knows Bobcats so well. The Knights can force Bobcats to the tiebreak, and his contribution is the greatest."

The commentator seat, Mike Bryn, was in the center, and Kenny Smith and Barkley were on both sides.

Before the opening, he analyzed why the Cavaliers who were not optimistic before the start of the series could force the Bobcats to tiebreak. Then, Mike Bryn turned his head and looked at Barkley.

"Now it's tiebreaker, Charles, do you think this tiebreaker has a better chance of Bobcats or a better chance of the Cavaliers?"

Barkley knew that as long as he stood in the commentary seat, problems similar to pre-match predictions would definitely arise.

If it were the usual, he would have blurted out: Of course, the chances of being a bobcat are a little higher.

But after watching g6, Barkley had some doubts about the bobcats.

"I'm more optimistic about the Knights. They just won the g6 and are in full momentum. From the g6, they have grasped the lifeblood of the bobcat..."

After some analysis, Mike Brynn then threw the same problem to Kenny Smith.

Kenny Smith is now a big fan of Bobcats, and he didn't think so: "Of course it's Bobcats. From the beginning, I was optimistic about it. Even when I reached the tiebreak, I was optimistic about it."

"To be honest, I'm looking forward to this tiebreak battle. I already feel that the Bobcats in this game can come up with something different..."

Kenny Smith made a strong prediction that the starters of the two teams also made their debuts on the court.

On the Bobcats, point guard Curry, shooting guard Li Ke, small forward Hua Er, power forward Dior, center Jordan Jordan, no change.

On the Cavaliers, point guard Billups, shooting guard Wade, small forward Lebang, power forward Batille, center Valaijo, there is no change.

"Neither team has made any changes. What we need to look at next is the defense matchup."

A beep!

The referee whistle sounded and the basketball was thrown into the air.

"The competition has begun!"

"Dandre Jordan won the jump ball again, and the Bobcats started the game!"

The Bobcats attacked first again, Curry controlled the ball, quickly advanced to the frontcourt, and then gave it to Dior at the top of the arc.

Dior's arc top support proves that the Bobcat's playing style has not changed.

Lebang stared at Li Ke, and Bathir, who was facing Dior at the top of the arc, stared at him.

On the other side, Wade also stared at Curry, and Changxi and Hua Lao Er pulled to the bottom corner together.

Finally, Valaijo and Jordan Jr. fought inside.

In the first attack at the beginning, Li Ke stood up. After a round, he suddenly received the ball and shot from Lebang's defense.

But with a clang, the basket rejected the ball.

Time Warner Center sighed, and at the basket, Valejo helped Wade take the rebound by getting the ball.

Immediately, Wade turned around and accelerated instantly. The Flash headed straight to the frontcourt.

"Sheldon tried to make one, but didn't make it..."

"Dwyne Wade's rebound, the Cavaliers' counterattack is here!"

"They are very fast. The frontcourt directly abandoned DeAndre Jordan and Anderson Valaijo and made a four-on-four counterattack!"

The four-on-four counterattack, at first glance, the Cavaliers have no advantage in numbers.

But Wade still attacks, and even strong attacks must be attacked.

Their purpose is to take advantage of the fact that the Bobcats have not yet established a stable foothold and fight a chaotic battle, hoping to find a good opportunity to score in the chaotic battle.

Just talking about this attack, they did find an opportunity.

Wade made a breakthrough with lightning. The second Hua who was guarding against the target was no longer the second Hua who had the same explosive power. He didn't keep up with him, so he could only turn around and watch Wade go away helplessly.

Swish—!

0 to 2!

"Wade exerted his strength, and Gerald Wallace could not stop him in the counterattack!"

In the commentary, Barkley described the Cavaliers' offensive in a few words. Then, he analyzed the biggest changes in the Cavaliers' game from the Cavaliers' offensive.

"The Cavaliers' style of playing in this game is obviously different, they are speeding up!"

Barkley was very sensitive to the changes in the Knights, so it was naturally impossible for the Bobcat to be worse than him.

Rivers frowned on the sidelines: "What does Elvin mean? Speed ​​up?"

The difference is that Rivers will think more about what the purpose of this wave of knights is?

What else can the Cavaliers have? They just want to use chaos to destroy the Bobcats' defensive formation.

Although the Bobcats did not focus on defense in the previous six battles.

But with Jordan guarding the penalty area, there are also DPOY Li Ke, as well as a group of single defense experts such as Matthews, Tucker, and Hua Lao Er. The Bobcats' defense has always maintained a very high lower limit.

In the first six games, the Cavaliers did not have a defense against the Bobcats.

When it comes to the tiebreak, Gentry is in a desperate situation.

The moment he speeds up and captures offense and defense changes is the killer move he retains. Injuring others may hurt himself, but he still chooses to use this killer move.

Because he felt that this killer move would force the bobcat to make changes.

As long as the Bobcat changes, the chances of the Knights in the tiebreak will increase.

After all, when it comes to paper strength, the Knights are stronger. Although the Big Three has become a joke, they are also Big Three after all.

At present, Gentry's strategy was successful in the first attack at the beginning.

Without Jordan's franchise protection, Curry is easily ordered, and Hua Lao Er's shortcomings of slow speed will also be beaten up, not to mention that there is also a Dior who is easily ordered and slow.

Although this counterattack has no advantage in numbers, the Knights still have the advantage in terms of personal abilities.

Rivers frowned. Before he could react, he just stood on the side of the court with his arms crossed his chest.

After the Bobcats kicked off in the backcourt, they arrived at the frontcourt, and Dior held the ball on the top of the arc to support him.

There is no change in the Bobcat, so I chose to find Li Ke in this wave.

"On the right, Sheldon made a round and stood up to catch the ball."

"LeBron held back his, and he didn't make any shots or surprises..."

Lebang wanted to catch both hands, but unexpectedly, the next second after Li Ke received the ball, he rushed out.

Even Lebang could only turn around and follow Li Ke to eat ashes.

Bathir was forced to defend himself, and Dior at the top of the arc immediately leaked.

Although Wade quickly made up for it, Billups at the weak bottom corner was also moving.

But in the end, this wave of Cavaliers' defense was missed, and Li Ke passed the ball directly to Dior.

Dior made a fake vote and forced Wade to lean over.

When Wade completely let go of Curry, Dior passed the ball and gave it to Curry.

Curry received the ball and did not disappoint the Bobcats. He raised his hand and shot in the middle distance before Billups' repair defense was in place.

Swish—!

2 to 2!

The Bobcats tied the score!

Scoring a goal means that the Cavaliers have no chance to switch off and fight back.

They can only kick off the ball in the backcourt and play honestly.

In the positional battle, Jordan Little is protecting the frame and Li Ke is assisting in defense at any time. The disadvantage of Hua Lao Er's slow movement speed no longer exists.

During the Cavaliers' attack, they still looked for Wade's point.

There is no way, Li Ke is staring at him tightly. Old Bilu is now a 3D dribble defender. Valaijo is a blue-collar worker, and Bathir is at most a blue-collar worker who brings penalty kicks.

If Lebang cannot be opened, they can only count on Wade.

Wade made another strong breakthrough and the second-in-law in China. Dior assisted in defense, but Wade stopped in time and raised his hand and shot a mid-range shot.

Swish!

With a mid-range shot, Wade scored 4 points in a row, and the Cavaliers also scored 4-2, taking the lead again.

Turn around, the lynx's turn.

Li Ke suddenly entered the low post, so he asked for the ball in a low post, turned around and forced the game to Lebang, and the Cavaliers were forced to attack.

Then, Li Ke passed the ball across the bottom corner on the other side, and Hua Lao Er received the ball, aimed again and again.

With a swish, he hit a three-pointer in the open space.

5 to 4, the Bobcats took the lead.

If you can score a goal, turn around and go over the Bobcats' defense, you can force the Cavaliers to play against Lebang and Wade.

Simply put, in positional warfare, the Knights can only fight superstars.

In this wave of attack, Lebang stood up and fought one. He asked for a pick-and-roll. After passing the pick-and-roll, he grabbed the space under Li Kerao's cover and threw out a two-pointer.

With a clang!

The ball failed to score, and Lebang scored the second iron in the opening game.

At the basket, Jordan Jr. grabbed the rebound and quickly gave Curry two steps to retreat.

The Bobcat also accelerated and fought a counterattack.

During the counterattack, Curry suddenly faced Wade's defense and scored a three-pointer.

Swish—!

The score of 8-4 was shocked to make Gentry stand up from the coach's seat and the urge to call to pause.

But he held back, and the score of 4 to 8 can still be tolerated for the time being.

Lebang attacked another attack. He did not dare to capture Li Kerao's cover anymore, and could only push forward with one heart.

After breaking deeper, the bobcats were forced to block the defense and then pass the ball outward.

Bathir received the ball, glanced at it, and made an unmarked mid-range shot.

Gentry sat back at 6 to 8.

Although he was behind, the situation was not bad. Gentry felt that he could watch it for a while.

This time I saw the first official pause.

In the opening game, the Bobcats and the Cavaliers attacked.

While relying on Li Ke to attract defense, he created a good opportunity for Curry, Hua Er and Dior to score.

On the other hand, Lebang and Wade took turns to fight, and they were able to capture the offensive and defensive transformation.

In half a quarter, the two teams played 16-15, and the Bobcats, who played at home, led by 1 point.

Seeing this, Rivers only felt that the game went smoothly, so he would wait.

But Gentry on the other side had decided to use his second killer move.

"LeBron, Dwyne, next it depends on you."

Gentry had been with the Bobcats for a season and he knew very well that Rivers didn't have much stuff in his belly.

On the contrary, Li Ke, Li Ke, the Bobcat's Flash Tornado and the Bobcat's Fifth Little, have contributed a lot.

Gentry has specially studied Li Ke and found a set of playing styles that are very suitable for the Cavaliers-

Pause back, the Knights' turn.

After kicking off at the sideline, Billups completely became a dribble defender. As soon as he arrived at the frontcourt, Wade took the ball.

Immediately afterwards, Lebang rushed out, landed on the top of the arc, and gave Wade a cover surprisingly and unexpectedly.

"It's actually LeBron's cover, it's so surprising!"

Lebang is also a superstar who doesn’t like covering and doesn’t like to make walls for people, but what’s different from Sparks is that

In the first seven years of his career, the reason why he did not provide cover was that no one at the Knights were worthy of his cover at that time.

Later, the Cavaliers rarely played pick-and-roll, and even if they were pick-and-roll, Lebang would only appear as the ball holder in the pick-and-roll.

The main reason is that the team does not require it. If the team has this request, he will not refuse like Sparks.

But if you hit less, you will hit less. At this time, Lebang suddenly made a wall and caught the Bobcat off guard.

Li Ke, who has always been on guard against Lebang, never changed defense when encountering pick-and-roll, has never changed defense in this wave.

But Hua's second son, who could not keep up with Wade, was blocked by Lebang's cover, and Wade, who held the ball, was completely empty.

In the near-frame area, although Jordan Jr. saved and pushed the ball up, Wade still made a throw shot and successfully sent the basketball into the basket.

16 to 17, the Cavaliers overtook the score.

On the sidelines, Rivers frowned. His first reaction was to remind Li Ke on the court that he had to switch defense!

On the court, Li Ke also frowned, his first reaction was different:

"We have to replace people. Regardless of whether we change defense or not, Hua Lao Er will be a defensive loophole on the court."

To put it bluntly, the Knight's move was to superstar pick-and-roll. While pulling Li Ke's Dpoy apart, he forced the order to order Hua Lao Er.

At this time, the correct operation of the Bobcat should be to replace Tucker and let Li Ke and Tucker guard Lebang and Wade.

Whether or not, both of them will not suffer any loss when they defend against LeBang and Wade.

But Rivers didn't have any moves, so the game could only continue.

Turning his head to the Bobcats' attack, Li Ke played Lebang on his back, and missed the jump shot.

Turning back, the Cavaliers' counterattack, Wade ordered the second child again, and made a counterattack with a dunk at the basket.

In this way, the Cavaliers slowly widened the gap in the scores.

At the end of the first quarter, a score of 32 to 26. When the situation changed drastically, the Bobcats fell by as much as 6 points behind the Cavaliers.

As many people say, the biggest problem or weakness of the Bobcats is not the players, but the head coach...

During the break, "How to fight if you fall behind" became the focus of Bobcat discussion.

In fact, by this time, the bobcats have no other choice.
Chapter completed!
