, the fastest update NBA: the latest chapter of the No. 1 forward!
Lian Dao couldn't restrain James in the first half. It can be said that no one can really seal such a player.
It is basically impossible to get 0 opponents.
However, Lian Dao also made the biggest restriction on James.
James made 6 of 20 shots in the first half. It can be said that the efficiency is really low, especially 1 of 5 three-pointers.
In the first half, James scored 13 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists.
This game also allowed the fans and the audience in front of the TV to see a wonderful 3rd position matchup.
During the intermission.
Director Zhang and Yu Jia also made a summary of this much-anticipated game.
"This is a very exciting matchup!"
The data of both of them has been shown, so there is no need to praise the players' strength too much.
From the data of both sides, we can also observe the excellence of these two players.
"The Knicks played very well in the first quarter. They took advantage of the lack of mobility of the Cavaliers and continued to play defensive counterattacks. Almost the entire first quarter was in the rhythm of the Knicks."
"Moreover, in the first quarter, the Knicks' defense was also very good, especially in restricting James. Lian Dao did a good job in this regard."
"In the second quarter, after James came back, it can be seen that the Cavaliers have found their own rhythm, especially in the cooperation of Big Z, they are very tacit, after several seasons of running-in, they are very familiar with each other. They are also constantly closing in on the score at this time."
"From this point of view, in fact, after O'Neal joined the Cavaliers, the problem is the running-in of the lineup. This running-in may become better and better in the subsequent games."
Then, the two also chatted about the second half of the game.
"The second half of the game is a test for the Knicks' defense. If the Knicks cannot withstand the defensive pressure, they are likely to be overtaken by the Cavaliers."
"And can Lian Dao be able to limit James' offense like he did in the first half?"
After returning, it was indeed as the commentator said that the Knicks' defense had problems.
Although Lian Dao restrained James, the Knicks, the insider of the Cavaliers, could not.
Big Z scored mid-range shots after frequently receiving passes from the inside.
On the defensive end, the Cavaliers also stepped up their defense, with Millsap and David Lee frequently hitting the inside.
On the outside, Chris Duhon's offensive ability is indeed not particularly good.
The Knicks' offensive pressure also came from Lian Dao.
Lian Dao also played a lonely hero in the third quarter.
Constantly attacking the defensive line established by the Cavaliers, using teammates to cover shots.
22 points in a single quarter!
It can be said that Lian Dao broke his scoring record in a single quarter at one time.
The last time he scored 20 points in a single quarter was against the Pacers.
That is, the last game.
Lian Dao has scored 43 points in three quarters.
Now 96:90, the Knicks are 6 points behind the Cavaliers.
In the case of Lian Dao scoring 22 points in a single quarter, the Knicks are still 6 points behind the Cavaliers. From here, we know that the other members of the Knicks are in the third quarter.
The fourth quarter begins.
In the fourth quarter, the Knicks finally had a player stand up.
David Lee, he finally found his touch.
At this time, Lian Dao's passes turned into assists again and again.
The game came to the last two minutes.
At this time the arena is also very depressed.
112:112.
The Knicks also tied the score this time.
Cavaliers possession.
Lian Dao was panting heavily, the burning sensation in his lungs was extremely uncomfortable.
Beads of sweat rolled down his face.
Lian Dao grabbed the jersey with his hands, sat on his knees, and bent over.
Looking at James who is in a similar state to himself, James' dribbling is also much slower at this time.
But Lian Dao didn't step forward to force a steal, because he was really exhausted. At this time, forcing a steal, not to mention the possibility of success, and if it fails, it may cause loss of position.
James will use this opportunity to directly break through.
The time was less than 2 minutes, Lian Dao didn't dare to bet, he knew that his movements would also become slow at this time.
Therefore, he will now block James' breakthrough route and conduct the most reasonable defense with the least physical energy consumption.
"Snapped!"
Lian Dao steals the pass from James.
Controlling the basketball, resisting the burning sensation in his lungs, he pushed his right leg to the ground and launched a counterattack with all his might.
Dodge James' defense from beyond the three-point line, get up, shoot, shoot!
"brush!"
112:115.
The Knicks led by three points.
Cavaliers battle position, they also replaced O'Neal.
At this time, the inside power of the Cavaliers finally came into play.
As a new force, O'Neill is like a wolf entering a sheep's den at this time.
The Knicks couldn't guard him at all inside. He first pushed away David Lee, and then dunked the basketball into the basket against Millsap.
The entire rim was tugged so hard by his dunk that it was crumbling.
114:115.
What a beast!
Lian Dao panted heavily, looked at O'Neill and couldn't help saying in his heart.
Chris Duhon dribbled the ball across half court, and then handed the ball to Lian Dao who responded.
At this time, all the attention of the Cavaliers was focused on Lian Dao.
For the Knicks, Millsap took the initiative to go to the outside to do a pick-and-roll for Lian Dao.
Change direction without slowing down, push the right foot on the ground, and increase the speed to the maximum.
The fastest first step badge bonus!
When Lian Dao rushed inside, the Cavaliers had already launched a defensive double-team against Lian Dao.
O'Neal protected the rim at the rim, and Mo Williams and Anthony Parker double-teamed Lian Dao from the wings.
James chased from behind.
Varejao keeps interfering with Lian Dao.
Five people double team!
They basically blocked all of Lian Dao's passing routes, and it was necessary to defend Lian Dao's attack.
There is only one way in front of Lian Dao, attacking the basket and breaking through the defense.
Lian Dao took advantage of the fact that the double-team was not really formed, and accelerated a second time.
Rushed to the basket, Lian Dao joined the ball and took a step to the right.
O'Neal's defensive center of gravity shifted.
Lian Dao took a big stride to the left, and without slowing down his European step, he directly broke through O'Neal's defense, went to the basket and scored a layup.
Now Lian Dao tries to reduce dunks as much as possible to save energy.
As long as it can be solved with a layup, never dunk.
114:117.
"Sickle's breakthrough is really too extreme. Facing the double-teaming of everyone in the Cavaliers, he accelerated past everyone twice and scored a layup."
"Especially the Eurostep without slowing down, which is as difficult as his previous turning around without slowing down."
"Moreover, from his breakthrough action and speed, he has the taste of Grant Hill back then."
"You must know that Grant Hill back then claimed to have the fastest breakthrough speed of the first step. If it weren't for the injury, Hill's basketball career should be even better!"
At this time, Barkley also saw a familiar feeling from Lian Dao's breakthrough.
At the same time, when it comes to Grant Hill, Barkley also has an indescribable emotion.
Although the injury flattened Grant Hill's sharpest spear, it also made Grant Hill understand that it was time to make a change. After the injury, Grant Hill also strengthened his shooting. In this season, Grant Hill's three-point average The hit rate also reached 43%, and the two-point hit rate was 48%.
Grant Hill also relied on his excellent shooting ability to fight until the age of 40. I have to say that as a player after several injuries, he can still have an 18-year NBA career. This is really amazing .
Moreover, Grant Hill is not a drinking fountain player~www.mtlnovel.com~ Even when he was 39 years old in history, he could still contribute 10.2 points per game in the 2011-2012 season, until he was 40 years old, and his physical function in the 2012-2013 season His scoring average also dropped to 3.2 points per game, and it was in this year that he announced his decision to retire.
"Well, indeed, the fastest first step, turning around without slowing down, is indeed like Grant Hill's signature move." Kenny Smith also nodded seriously at this time.
"The pressure at this time is on the Cavaliers."
"There is only 1 minute and 05 seconds left before the end of the game."
At one minute and five seconds, the Knicks led by 3 points.
James' pick-and-roll breakthrough, the Knicks also chose to double-team the pair.
James passed the ball to the basket at this time, the Knicks were shocked, and hurriedly looked at O'Neal.
However, Mo Williams made a key three-pointer from the outside.
