Chapter 136 The Emperor's Counterattack

Only 10 points in a single quarter, which is estimated to be the most suffering quarter the Cavaliers have played since the start of this season.

There is no attack, no defense, nothing. This is not like a team trying to win the championship at all, but more like a game played by a team at the bottom of the league.

No one likes this kind of suppressed game, especially the team that has been ranked second in the East, and they don't want to see themselves being so unscrupulous by their opponents**.

I really haven't been bullied so much. Even if the Cavaliers lose this season, they have never been so suppressed.

When did the little emperor suffer this feeling of holding his fire, especially the neglected experience in the first quarter. Except for Pierce, no one paid attention to him at all.

Even if Pierce stared at him, he was not the kind of close defense that played with his life. He just wandered away from the little emperor and created a little obstacle when this guy was ready to break through.

If James chooses to fire at medium and long distances, Pierce will not pounce on the block, but just open his hand as much as possible to interfere with the opponent's shooting line.

Because of this, the little emperor could only score 8 points in the first quarter, and his teammates were focused to varying degrees, especially the two unlucky insiders.

Everyone was targeted by their opponents. Except for the biggest lethal weapon in the Cavaliers, no one has ever, and no team has dared to ignore the existence of the little emperor so much.

But the Celtics did this, and they did it very thoroughly. Except for Pierce, who sometimes sticks to the little emperor, no one else did anything.

It is completely to let go of such a point, appropriately create a breakthrough obstacle for him, let him fire at a medium and long distance, and minimize his lethality.

This is Rivers' tactical arrangement, which looks very risky. After all, the little emperor's average score per game is almost 30 points. No one knows what will happen if such a big killer is released casually.

But after observing the previous game video of the Cavaliers, Rivers decided to take a risk. Most of the games won in front of the Cavaliers were because the other side chose a double, and even used three people to limit James's strong impact, and then the whole team's defense began to collapse.

Sometimes the opponent is too concerned about the impact of the little emperor, but ignores other points to defend.

The most important reason why a guy like Ilgoskas can average two or three three three-pointers per game is James' breakthrough, which gives him enough room to play.

Rivers doesn't want to make such a mistake. Instead of letting that guy destroy the overall tactical arrangement, it's better to let go of the little emperor's less offensive pressure.

Using Pierce alone to challenge the guy who is regarded as Jordan's successor can give the opponent enough space to score.

Few people in the NBA can guarantee a 100% shooting rate for shooting from medium and long distances, and the little emperor's shooting efficiency is far from being so exaggerated.

Although Pierce is not the top defensive sharpshooter, he is rarely beaten by the opponent when swinging against other top defenders.

Even if he encounters the fierce existence of the little emperor, Pierce can't be defeated by the other party at once. With proper interference and timely defense, Rivers's task to him is not heavy.

"It can make him float on the periphery to score, but if you break through, you must strangle him to death!" Pierce fully implemented Rivers' tactical arrangement when he was in the opposite position.

Throughout the first quarter of the game, Pierce's strong physique was like a wall, firmly standing in front of the little emperor, not allowing this guy to squeeze inside at will.

The shooting is okay, but the breakthrough is not good. In the first quarter, James tried to break through Pierce's defense with the ball twice. After physical contact, the breakthrough was delayed, and then it was Jefferson or Chen Feng's bag on the weak side, which did not give him a chance to cut in at all.

James, who didn't break through, can't find the offensive rhythm he is used to at all. This is what makes him most depressed. Without that kind of football-style charge, he is really a little confused.

James rarely encounters this kind of situation that makes him confused. From the first day he entered the NBA, he, a high school student, has been treated like a proud son of heaven.

With Stein's other look, with Nike as a help behind his back, and James himself indeed typed tough personal data, everything seems so logical.

The admiration of the alliance, the promotion of sponsors, and these things can be combined to create a tough existence. The little emperor is now regarded as a god-like guy.

Although not many people say that James is Jordan II, his performance and the No. 23 behind him have made many people automatically start to compare this guy with Jordan.

From personal performance to personal charm, any place that can be compared will be put together. Even if this is not what James is happy to see, it can't stop others from doing so.

What's more, there are some pushers behind him who are happy to see such a scene, and James himself is intoxicated with this feeling, even if he hasn't won the NBA championship.

It doesn't prevent this guy from becoming a leader of the new generation. Maybe he will be the focus of the news in the next ten years.

Well, although this guy is indeed not as handsome as Jordan and is a little bumpy, it does not prevent Nike from regard him as the number one superstar in the market.

Facts have proved that the little emperor's playing style and data brushing skills have also made him popular among many young people.

Especially in terms of personal data, the little emperor is completely a bug. At the beginning, Kobe was able to set a new record set by Jordan.

Er, feng shui has taken turns. Now it's James' turn to refresh Kobe's youngest record item by item. This guy is definitely a data emperor. In more than two years, he has broken several records.

As for whether anyone will rewrite the records he set in the future, no one knows. Anyway, the little emperor is definitely a benchmark figure now.

Even Pierce, the big stars who have been in the NBA for several years, are far less than the Cavaliers' No. 23 in terms of market appeal and commercial value.

When such a leading figure starts to lose his temper, no matter who he is, he will feel the destructive power he can bring. The first one is Tony Allen, who has just replaced Pierce.

He beat the other side for the whole quarter, especially with a double-digit lead. Rivers began to change adjustments at the beginning of the second quarter, and Pierce took the lead in the break.

Originally, Tony Allen's defensive skills were a little stronger than Pierce's, but the node he came up was really unlucky, and he met the little emperor who was holding his breath.

The little emperor holding a fire, relying on his strong muscles, reached out at the beginning of the second quarter and rushed to replace Snow's Damon Jones for the ball.

The number one core of the team has made such a move. From Mike Brown to the players on the field, no one dares not cooperate.

Damon Jones shook his hand and passed the ball over, and the little emperor who received the ball in his hand did not stop at all. He took the ball with his right hand, and even the fake action was omitted. He came up with a hard cut in.

Tony Allen just came on the stage and hadn't moved his body, so he didn't have time to react to such a rapid assault by the little emperor.

Squeeze open and cut in, all the movements seemed so coherent and natural. Although Tony Allen's horizontal movement was fast enough, he still couldn't stop James's incision.

A point was broken. Before Jefferson had time to fill the position, the little emperor had already taken action, and the one-handed buckle that had already risen into the air was pressed down with Jefferson's big palm.

"Bang!" shook the heavy pressure of the basketball frame and brought the sound of the basket being pulled.

The little emperor who attacked and retreated to the backfield did not roar, but the guy's eyes had become extremely sharp.

It is very dangerous to let a bloodthirsty guy smell the smell of blood, and the truth is the same. When Jefferson's back singles came out, Irguskas fanned the basketball out of the inside line.

The little emperor, who caught the ball near the three-point line, began to run wildly as soon as he picked up the basketball. When he strode up, Tony Allen could only chase him desperately behind.

But the little emperor who started early and was so fast certainly didn't want anyone to interfere with his performance.

When this guy stepped over the foot of the free throw line, he had already soared into the air. His open hands were like a volleyball blocking action, grabbing the basketball and pouring it into the basket fiercely.

The sound is still the same, but at this moment, the little emperor finally opened his voice and roared, "Come on, come and stop me!" Come and have a try! Let's see if you can stop it! I'm right here!"

This fierce shout must not only be shouted at Tony Allen, who is chasing the defense. The little emperor is shouting at all the members of the Celtics.

The first quarter made him angry. This guy planned to release it all at once, and he didn't care whether this was his home court or not.

Even if the fans around him booed deafeningly about his behavior, it did not delay the high-five celebration of this guy and his teammates.

One assault, one counterattack, two beautiful dunks awakened the sluggish morale of the Cavaliers, and even Mike Brown shouted loudly on the sidelines.

This is his knights, the fierce division that can rush to the second place in the Eastern District!

The wild shout can be heard clearly by everyone on the sidelines. This is the roar of the leader of the Cavaliers, who is fighting back with practical actions.

This is just the beginning. When James scored a three-pointer for the third time in a row, Rivers shouted a timeout.

In less than 70 seconds, the Cavaliers have scored 7 points by one person, leaving the Celtics' lead to 8 points in an instant.

When James, the little emperor, began to enter his own furious mode, it was really difficult for ordinary people to stop his attack. On this point, even Rivers acquiesced.

Rivers foresaw that his trouble seemed to come...

The sudden outbreak of the little emperor is really tricky. At least Rivers thinks so. If you can isolate the guy from the periphery all the time like the first section, it is the best choice.

LeBron James, who can only fight from medium and long distances, is not such a big threat, but a little emperor who begins to enter the attack mode he is used to is definitely a terrible opponent.

Especially when this guy starts to play, he can always activate other people's firepower at the same time. Just now, the Celtics failed to win in both attacks, and it was also because the opponent's defense suddenly increased a strength level. When Jefferson faced Irguskas, he failed to play smoothly.

This gave the Cavaliers enough space to counterattack, especially for the little emperor a chance to sprint. When such a strong body that could play American football began to charge, Tony Allen couldn't resist at all. Not to mention Tony, even if Pierce went up, he would not be able to pull that guy down.

Running forward-style attack method. In the position of small forward, it is estimated that few people dare to say that their physique will be stronger than the little emperor. That guy is simply a beast-like physical quality.

He jumped high and ran fast, and when he rushed up with the ball in his arms, it was exactly like a tank.

If you really want to stop him, it's really death or injury. At least Tony's physique defender can't get stuck in this big guy's sprint.

But now Rivers is also scratching his head. If Pierce is allowed to kowtow to the other party to the end, the first is that he may not be able to stop the other party, and it also consumes his number one core physical energy.

He didn't intend to stare at the other party in the first place, but now Rivers can only warn Jefferson and Chen Feng to carry out the attack in a timely manner, so that the little emperor will have some scruples when breaking through.

The two attacks just now, the counterattack can be omitted, but when the little emperor ate Tony for the first attack, Jefferson's defense did slow down.

"Focus, don't let that guy cut into the basket so easily. You have just seen his physical condition. It's definitely a disaster to let him in like this."

Rivers's words are to say that he can listen to his two big insider. Now if the periphery is stuck in the opponent's cut, he has to rely on the defense of the insider.

No matter what you say, you should hold it when the other party is in a state, otherwise, Bostonians will definitely cause more trouble.

Since you have decided to give the opponent a downturn in your home court, then make the opponent's absolute core completely defeating!

"Kill his attack! That's my only request. Don't let him have any performance moments under the basket! I just heard the roar of that orangutan-like guy, and I felt very unhappy!"

Hearing Rivers's description, even Thibodeau can't hold back a little. Er, Rivers is usually quite kind. Today, it seems that this mouth is also bad enough.

Stop him! This is the only order given by Rivers. He doesn't want to continue to see the guy dragging the basket or his chest and continue to roar. Bostonians don't like to watch the performance of visiting players!

This is not your territory! Remember the boy!

At the end of the suspension, Mike Brown certainly couldn't figure out what tactical arrangements Rivers had arranged, but he said a word during the pause, "Full support for James' attack!"

Mike Brown usually treats this sentence like a Bible, and this time it's a critical moment. Since others can't open the situation, it's better to let your core rush.

Anyway, that guy is used to such a pattern. He is like a foreman carrying an explosive bag, always making a desperate impact on the strongest place of the other party.

What Mike Brown can do now is to create enough space for the little emperor, and the rebound must be well protected. He can't make endless money like the first quarter of the game.

In the two defenses just now, one was that Irgoskas shot the rebound, and the other was that Vallejo was very lucky enough to catch the basketball, which made James's three-pointer.

"Continue to maintain this defensive strength, so that the opponent will not play smoothly. In terms of attack, pull the opponent away as much as possible, so that James has enough space to cut in, and it is best to form a one-one."

At the bottom of this sentence, guys like Ilgoskas already know what they should do. If they do a good blue collar for their core boss, they will complete the task.

When a person's hand feels hot, even if his defense is tight, it can't keep him without a chance to force him to take action.

And if a person is lucky enough, even if he barely shoots, he will get into the basket.

When James is full of firepower, that's it. Any unreasonable shot can be thrown in.

As soon as the pause ended, this guy threw a long shot more than one step away from the three-point line at the moment when Tony Allen had blocked his face.

And it was also straightforward and directly into the basket. Not only that, but he also earned a foul and penalty for Tony Allen. When the little emperor scored the goal steadily, this guy had scored 11 points in less than two minutes, which was completely different from the performance in the first quarter.

The madness on the offensive end is enough to make people a headache, but on the defensive end, James, the guy who had completely gone crazy, jumped through Irgoskas and floped Jefferson's basket.

This is not over. As soon as he slapped Jefferson's shot under the basket, he returned to James and made a high-speed breakthrough. Before Tony Allen had time to retreat his defense, there was a direct empty catch.

Damon Jones crossed half of the court and threw the ball just right, so that the little emperor who had jumped high waited in the air, directly with his hands.

13 points! Just two minutes and twenty seconds have passed in the second quarter, but the Celtics' leading 15-point advantage has almost been lost.

There is only one person, such a beast-like guy, using two three-pointers, three dunks and one free throw to close the huge gap.

All Bostonians have seen what horror madness is at this moment.

When the little emperor of the Cavaliers begins to lose his temper, he will really make people a little confused.

Even Rivers did not calm down at the sidelines. He waved his hand to express his dissatisfaction.

He is not dissatisfied with his team members, but now he doesn't even know how to curb the crazy No. 23.

The emperor's counterattack is fierce and sharp...
