Chapter 253 The Eastern Conference Semifinals Begin
"Oh, look at the screen, now there are starters from both sides. The visiting team comes out first, the New York Knicks lineup, Hu Lin, Nate Robinson, Quentin Richardson, David Lee, Eddie Curry. Next is the home team, the Cavaliers starting lineup, Eric Snow, Larry Hughes, LeBron James, Drew Gooden, Big Z. Well, the game is about to start , let us enjoy the game together."
As soon as Yu Jia, who was sitting in the broadcast room, finished speaking, all the procedures have been completed in the Quicken Loans Arena over there. As for which singer sang what type of American national anthem today, we don’t have to pay too much attention to it. .
The game starts with a jump ball for both sides!
Big Z faced the little Sharks with a slap, and the Cavaliers got the ball first.
Lao Hu is still facing Larry Hughes today, and his current defensive pressure should not be too great, because the Cavaliers' offensive focus must be on LeBron James.
"Ooh!" It was just a catch by the 'Little Emperor', and the fans started shouting. It seems that this playoffs is very different from the regular season.
bang, bang, bang...
As soon as he came up, the 'Little Emperor' was about to play a singles, and he was using his back-up technique.With those bang bangs, it is impossible to tell which is the sound of dribbling and which is the sound of body impact.
turn around!All of a sudden, they created space with Ah Q, and the 'Little Emperor' directly stepped back and made a jump shot!
Swish!The Cavaliers' first attack is done!
"Oh ho ho!!" The fans made a loud noise, as if they would not give up until the roof of the Quicken Loans Arena was lifted off.
When it was the Knicks' turn, Nate dribbled the ball to the frontcourt. Although Snow was older, his movement was not necessarily slower than Nate's.
Snapped!Old Hu caught the ball.
"Shhhhhh!"
Obviously, even if Lao Hu looks younger than LeBron, he still doesn't attract the love of Cleveland people. Lao Hu got boos beyond his imagination.
"Fuck! This is superstar treatment! I have this treatment now, but it's a pity that his annual salary is not enough for LeBron!"
In his heart, amidst the huge boos, Lao Hu made sharp complaints.Of course, this fellow has not forgotten the present business, which is to organize the attack.
Or call inside first?
There is a problem here. 'Big Z' has always been the kind of center that Curry hates. He has height, weight, and solid defense. Such a center is more uncomfortable for a traditional back-up center.If it weren't for this season, Curry changed his mind and strengthened his body, otherwise, this lazy guy might have given up early in the regular season against the Cavaliers.
However, even so, according to the previous games, it is a bit difficult for Curry to play the big Z.Therefore, for this game, Lao Hu is going to help Curry.
Double cover!
It is this relatively basic running tactic again. The Knicks have always attached great importance to this tactic because its effect has always been good.
Started to run, Curry and David Lee immediately came to the same side of the paint, they made the wall together, Ah Q slipped past the baseline, 'Little Emperor' was blocked in the basket.
This creates a dislocation. If you want to follow Ah Q, you must follow an inside player. But the Cavaliers' strength lies in the point of 'Little Emperor', because he is a pervert who can play five positions. level players.
Lao Hu passed the ball. Instead of choosing Curry inside, he passed the ball directly to Ah Q.
Filled!Drew Gooden immediately made up for it. He simply didn't hesitate at all, because he trusted the 'Little Emperor' very much, and he also knew that this young team leader would definitely be able to clean up the mess around the basket.
However, the Knicks' cooperation is far from over.
After passing the ball, Lao Hu directly made an air cut. This pass made Larry Hughes's defensive attention less focused, so Hughes didn't pay attention to Hu Lin who slipped past behind him. late.
Snapped!After hitting the ground, Ah Q returned the ball to Hu Lin who was making an air cut. This directly formed the state of Hu Lin facing the basket!
This return pass was arranged before, as long as Hu Lin made an empty cut, then Ah Q could choose to pass the ball instead of shooting. Of course, no one would say anything if he made the shot himself.
Now Hu Lin is not only facing the basket, but there is no defense in front of him. To be precise, Hughes should be behind him, and this requires someone from the basket to come out to make up for it!
Needless to say, there is only one person to do this, and that is LeBron James.
The position of 'Little Emperor' is the closest to Hu Lin, and he is also the fastest moving guy. We can't let Big Z, who is still entangled with David Lee, come out to fill his position.
So, as soon as he saw LeBron coming out, Lao Hu simply hit the ground and passed the ball.
Kuang Ang! 'Little Shark' dunked the ball and smashed the basketball to the floor very simply!
What about Big Z?The Lithuanian is still entangled with David Lee at this time. He is born with a flawed slow movement, which makes it difficult for him to do anything about the ball.
The Knicks passed the first ball crisply and dunked crisply, which really deserves the word 'crisp'!
"Shhhhhhhhhhh!" Such a straightforward offense was not recognized by the home fans. Of course, they actually hoped that the Knicks' offense would be as messy as possible.
The game continued, and it was the Cavaliers' turn to attack again.
This time 'Little Emperor' didn't play singles, he hoped that Big Z could play one back, which would make the competition more intense and the two sides more competitive.
Come on, Big Z is not so easy to bully. Although this guy moves slowly and moves slowly, his steps are big and solid. What's more rare is that he has a basket in one hand.
bang, bang...
Back to back hit twice, Big Z immediately turned around, and then made a shooting action!
'Little Shark' pounced on him, his defense was no longer as bad as before, so he showed his strength and slapped the big Z fiercely!
However, it's a pity that this was a fake move. Big Z took advantage of Curry's step up and immediately made a sideways step.
Swish!With a small hook, Big Z scored two points.
"Oh ho ho ho!..." The opening offense went smoothly, which made the people of Cleveland rejoice, and the fans seemed to have seen the dawn of victory.
It was the turn of the Knicks to attack again. The previous procedure was the same, and Lao Hu still caught the ball at around 45 degrees.Of course, the boos of the fans are also indispensable. Although it is just the beginning, Hu is already very used to the way American fans express their welcome.
But this time, Lao Hu made a different gesture, pick and roll!
This time, Lao Hu used a tactic that he and Lao Li were very familiar with. One gear and one release, it was extremely smooth. Lao Hu easily bypassed Drew Gooden, and still plunged into the inside lane.
However, the Cavaliers don't only have big Z inside. LeBron's defense awareness is quite good, and he has consciously withdrawn it.The little emperor doesn't need to go directly to the defense, he only needs to make an attitude to deter Lao Hu, because now the Cavaliers have formed a good encirclement around the basket, because Larry Hughes and Gooden after the pick-and-roll , It is a two-way retreat directly, which is very similar to an encirclement circle.
This should be a trap, it must be a trap, so Lao Hu had no choice but to go in, but immediately passed his ball out.
David Lee!He has been disassembled and is heading towards the basket, and Lao Hu also saw him.
ha!boom!Swish! ...beep!
As soon as he received the ball, Lao Li went straight to the basket. He inserted from behind, and the opponent's encirclement happened to be a big gap here.However, he still encountered the defense, and Big Z came out to make up the defense.However, Lao Li's skills at the basket are very good. With a swing of his arm and a flick of his wrist, the basketball went into the basket. At this time, the referee blew the whistle for the first time in the game. Of course, this was except for the jump ball. that.
"Shhhhhh..."
"You whistling bastard!"
"Collected black money, you bastard!"
The fans were not happy, they didn't expect this would be 2 plus 1, they thought that the big Z just touched David Lee gently in the air.
"Oh oh oh……"
"Shhhhhh..."
The fans not only booed the referee, but also interfered with David Lee in various ways.
Swish!But obviously, it didn't do much. David Lee made the free throw, 5 to 4, and the Knicks led temporarily by 1 point.
Immediately afterwards, the Cavaliers started to attack again, and the 'little emperor' chose Drew Gooden this time. Anyway, the ball was an imposing one. Since David Lee hit one, then Gooden should hit another one.
Passed the ball, pulled the singles!
Gooden still has a lot of offensive methods. Although this guy is weak in defense, he has a solid foundation in offense.
shake!Tentative step!
After testing again and again, Gooden's movements looked a little clumsy, but with such movements, he still found a chance to make a move.
Swish!It seems that in the opening paragraph just now, the Cavaliers feel good.
"YEAH! YES!..." The fans seemed to be the protagonists of the game, and their enthusiasm made the game more intense.
At this time, it was 5 to 6, and the Knicks were only one point behind.
Lao Hu came to the top of the three-point arc, he called for tactics again, and Lao Li came out again.
It was the same at the beginning, but there was a change immediately. Lao Hu brought Drew Gooden to the 45-degree area of the middle distance.
The reason why Gooden will follow is that Lao Hu moves more laterally, so it is difficult for Gooden to change positions with Hughes immediately.
Small fight big!The disadvantage of big players is their footwork. Judging from Gooden's defense, he should definitely not be able to keep up.So, a nearby Cavaliers player wanted to help out, namely LeBron James.
boom!It hit the ground again!
Ah Q in the bottom corner received the ball, and he is now in a semi-idle state!shot!
Swish!
