Chapter 136 The Halftime Rivalry Between the Sun and the Cavaliers
The Cavaliers immediately counterattacked with the ball.
Point guard Delonte West pushed the ball across half court and handed the ball to weak wing James.
After James received the ball, he immediately lobbed the ball to O'Neal in the penalty area.
If O'Neal is physically fit, he is very destructive.
At this time, the game has just started, and his energy bar is full.
After receiving a pass from James, O'Neal completed a dunk under the basket with tonnage.
The Suns immediately attacked.
"damn it!!"
O'Neal knew that the Suns would definitely run away immediately.
He strode back.
But it is still too late.
In the chaotic battle, because O'Neal failed to return in time, the Suns played four out of five to give Lin Feidu the opportunity to find an open three-pointer.
Swish!
Lin Feidu made a steady three-pointer.
"This guy!!"
James couldn't help but look sideways at it. Even though he had seen Lin Feidu's three-point chase in the video, he was still amazed by the personal experience.
The Cavaliers still handed over to O'Neal to play.
O'Neill still scored.
This time, after O'Neal dunked in, he immediately ran back desperately, and finally returned to the defensive position in time during the Suns' chaotic battle.
But as soon as he got back to the basket, he couldn't breathe a sigh of relief when he found that Frye ran out to pick and roll for Lin Feidu again.
O'Neill had to keep up.
Frye repeated his old trick, blocking Delonte West behind him, and Lin Feidu scored two consecutive three-pointers. This time, O'Neal overcame his own inertia and hurriedly blocked Lin Feidu's shot space.
Whoosh!
Lin Feidu accelerated as if he had been oiled, and broke through his armpit directly.
O'Neill turned and chased.
call out!
Lin Feidu made another change of direction and stepped back to get rid of him and returned to the three-point line.
Then came another easy three-pointer.
Swish!
Go in! !
Lin Feidu scored all the first three goals and scored 9 points immediately after playing.
Mike Brown's face was livid.
He watched the Suns beat the Anthony Nuggets yesterday.
The Nuggets lost because every time they adopted a defensive strategy with a big delay, they would be immediately played by the Suns with excellent cooperation, so they dug a big hole for their team.
The two big men of the Nuggets, Nene and Kenyon Martin, both had pretty good speed. Even they were sieved by the Suns during the big delay. O'Neal on his side...
Seeing O'Neill being played around by Lin Feidu's two changes, Mike Brown couldn't help but rolled his eyes.
On the court, James seemed to be irritated by Lin Feidu's consecutive three-pointers. This time, he rushed directly into the Suns inside, and dunked the ball hard into the basket against Stoudemire's interference.
"Let me guard against him!!"
When the Suns attacked again and Lin Feidu dribbled forward, James stood at the top of the arc and waited for Lin Feidu.
Delonti. West immediately went to defend Nash, and Anthony Parker, who defended Nash, immediately went to defend Richardson.
It can be seen that the Cavaliers have already made arrangements for the team's overall defensive lineup after James' matchup with Lin Feidu.
When a superstar like James stood in front of Lin Feidu, everyone immediately screamed like a tsunami.
But let Lin Feidu go singles against James, he has no such plan at present.
NBA teams play a reasonable offense. When two teams confront each other, whichever method is the most efficient to attack will be used to attack.
James' defensive oppression is too strong, his individual defense and pick-and-roll defense are very domineering.
Especially for James today, chasing counterfeiters is a beautiful landscape in the league.
Letting Lin Feidu single him out is an inefficient way of attacking for the Suns.
And for any team fighting the Cavaliers, avoiding James is the best choice in offense.
call out!
Lin Feidu passed the basketball out without hesitation.
"cut!"
James let out a snort.
His voice was not loud, but it was just enough for Lin Feidu to hear. Lin Feidu looked at James when he heard the sound, but the other party's expression was very normal, as if deliberately not to let others notice the abnormality.
"It seems that he wants to provoke me to single him."
Lin Feidu had a vague feeling that James made this contemptuous sound on purpose, just to make himself attack him.
"This guy has a lot of tricks."
After Lin Feidu settled his thoughts, he rolled his eyes at James.
Everyone knows that it is very difficult to beat James, so I won't be fooled.
On the other side, without James, Nash and Stoudemire immediately played the pick-and-roll cooperation that they are good at in a four-on-four situation.
Nash broke into the inside, completed a basket and scored two points.
Cavaliers here.
Still give the ball to O'Neal.
Today's O'Neal has an annual salary of 2000 million US dollars. It can be said that his value is all in the first few minutes of the game.
At this time, O'Neill was physically fit, capable of grasping the moon for nine days at the top, and catching turtles at the bottom.
Who can stop him? !No one can stop him? !
Use him to death!
Otherwise, when your physical fitness turns red, then stop cooking!
So when James personally marked Lin Feidu as promised, the game between the two sides became a fixed pattern.
For the Cavaliers, O'Neal plays the main role.
O'Neill was overwhelmed, like a fat shark, swimming wantonly in the restricted area.
On the Suns' side, Nash and Stoudemire's pick-and-rolls are flourishing.
Not only that, but Richardson beat Anthony Parker again and again on the weak side.
Richardson is so strong that even Wade can eat it. Anthony Parker's defense is like paper in front of him, and it is easily torn.
You come to me on both sides.
During the period, Lin Feidu called Frye for a pick-and-roll.
Seeing this, O'Neill sweated coldly on his forehead.
He really doesn't like the small man who defends the perimeter. He knows that he is slow and can't keep up with the opponent.
When playing against Iverson's team before, what he hated the most was seeing Iverson pass the defender and appear in front of him like a rabbit.
"A nimble little guy, very annoying."
This is O'Neill's view.
When he was brought outside by Frye and faced Lin Feidu's pick and roll, cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
However, James, like a moving wall, quickly squeezed through the pick-and-roll and returned to Lin Feidu.
"It's a trustworthy teammate."
O'Neill secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"As expected of James."
Lin Feidu also gave a secret praise from the bottom of his heart.
It stands to reason that a pick-and-roll can get rid of the original defender to some extent most of the time, but James' wide body is too flexible.
In the blink of an eye, he squeezed past Frye and appeared in front of him again, without leaving himself a good chance to make a move.
And Frye staggered, seeing him like this, obviously couldn't stop James.
The tactics failed, and Lin Feidu immediately handed the ball over to Nash again.
Nash was receiving the ball at a 45-degree angle on the left. He didn't pick and roll with Stoudemire this time, but directly launched a breakthrough in the middle. It seemed that he planned to use the breakthrough to tear the opponent's defense, and then deal with the ball according to the situation.
At this time, James and Lin Feidu were guarding two meters away from the top corner of the three-point line. When he saw Nash approaching his side, he immediately gave help to defend and oppress, intending to force Nash to make a mistake.
How could Nash make a mistake? Lin Feidu even suspected that he deliberately walked in the middle to attract James to help him defend.
Because just after James posted it, Nash seemed to have eyes in the back of his head, and passed the ball back to Lin Feidu with his flowing long hair.
Lin Feidu took the ball and took a step forward, taking the shot in a leisurely manner.
James tried his best to come back to interfere at this time, but he could only look back at the ball and sigh.
"You can't leave my projection range."
Lin Feidu looked at James and lowered his voice.
James was irritated by Lin Feidu's response. In the next round, he caught the ball and drove Lin Feidu for a layup.
Lin Feidu was pushed into it like a mantis arm as a car, and watched the opponent score an easy layup.
"This body is almost like cast from steel..."
Lin Feidu sighed in his heart.
In the next game, James began to gradually exert his strength.
Lin Feidu angered him on the one hand, and more importantly, O'Neill's physical fitness has already turned red at this time.
This giant fat man is old, and his stamina really can't be compared with the peak.
Coupled with the constant running and bombing of the Suns, O'Neal must ensure that he can keep up with the rhythm, which consumes a lot of his physical energy.
Just like the red light on Altman's chest was flashing, O'Neal wiped the fountain-like sweat from his forehead and panted heavily.
beep! !
Mike Brown called a timeout and replaced him.
From this second, James completely took over the game.
Moreover, he has identified Lin Feidu, and every time he starts an offense, he will use the pick-and-roll to find an opportunity to switch defenses against Lin Feidu.
In fact, if the Suns are currently on the court, whose defense is the weakest, it is actually Nash.
But in the eyes of James, Lin Feidu, who is thin, is no different from Nash, both of whom are very easy to fight.
And there is another strategic purpose for James to do this, which is to consume Lin Feidu.
Lin Feidu was indeed exhausted by him.
Defending James is too frankly exhausting, especially this year's James, playing most players indiscriminately singles, pushing in like a bulldozer, and no one can stop his breakthrough like a torrent of steel.
Therefore, no one can defend James.
This style of play is indeed powerful, but it is also a huge drain on one's own physical fitness.
However, a player like James seems to have a longer physical progress bar than others. He has played for two quarters and is still so efficient.
The bulldozer carrying a person to the basket requires physical fitness, and basketball players are well known.
"Hoo! Hoo!"
Lin Feidu panted heavily and looked at James, exhausted.
"This guy is just like a truck!"
Lin Feidu couldn't help complaining in his heart.
And he was really aggrieved when he saw his subordinates personally under James.
"I only scored 12 points at the beginning, I was stupid, and was locked up by James."
Except for the three three-pointers he just made on the court, and the three-pointer he received a sneak attack from Nash later, Lin Feidu had never scored. He had made two three-pointers during the period, but they failed under the interference of James. scored.
He can already imagine how the media will exaggerate how he was locked up by James after the game.
"This, depressed..."
Thinking of this, Lin Feidu felt a little aggrieved.
However, he has to let go of his personal grievances, because although James locked him, but also because of his range, he locked James in front of him, so the rest of the Suns played like a fish in water.
James' defense is not only a strong individual ability, he is also the gate and weaver of the defensive system, but at the moment he is restrained by Lin Feidu, wandering outside the team's defensive system, and has no way to participate in the game. overall team defense.
So this is why Erwin likes to let Lin Feidu stand on the field even if he is not attacking.
As long as Lin Feidu is on the field, he will be able to imprison a defender of the opponent and completely break this person out of their defensive system.
Because of this, even though O'Neal and James took turns tearing apart the Suns' defense, the Suns are still in the lead.
Although the Suns couldn't defend O'Neal, who started with full physical fitness, and James, who was still full of physical fitness after two quarters, the Suns' offense was very smooth. They were almost four-on-four. Nash and Stoudemire's top offensive cooperation, in In the case of 4VS4, it is difficult to block.
beep! !
The second quarter is over.
The score was 55:52.
The Suns still lead by three points in the face of James' bombardment.
Intermission time.
Both teams were in full swing in the locker room.
For the Cavaliers, the locker room is first equipped with masseurs to relax the muscles of James and O'Neal to relieve fatigue and help these two great gods recover their physical fitness as soon as possible.
Especially James, who was full attendance in two quarters, played a very efficient performance.
And with such an efficient performance, the team is still three points behind.
It can be seen that in the second half, James is even less likely to have time to rest.
While James was receiving the massage, he was simultaneously eating some energy-replenishing meat food brought by the trainer.
"LeBron, you're very good at limiting that rookie..."
Mike Brown first made a high evaluation of James' defense.
"I have counted the Suns' games so far. No one has ever been able to contain the rookie to this point. If it wasn't for him stealing a few three-pointers at the beginning, LeBron could even lock his score at 0 points. .”
O'Neill was a little embarrassed to hear the words "he made several three-pointers in the opening game", because Lin Feidu scored 12 of the 9 points he scored in front of him.
And James is still receiving massage and eating.
"jingle!!"
James' cell phone rang suddenly.
"Sorry, Coach Brown, for interrupting your speech." James swallowed the food in his mouth.
"It's okay." Mike Brown said, indicating that the other party could answer the phone.
This is the privilege that belongs to James. Even if the coach is lecturing, he has the qualifications to answer the phone, but it is not possible for someone else.
James looked at the caller ID - Dwayne Wade! ! !
