Artest's flexibility is far less than James's. It's very awkward for him to dribble the ball to everyone, but why is that? Why did he choose to single-handedly challenge James?
Not only the fans at the scene are puzzled, but also the same as James in the position, but James still doesn't feel relaxed easily on the defensive end.
Artest suddenly turned around and leaned his back against James, and unexpectedly began to turn his back at a long distance. This surprised everyone. It's amazing.
Just when everyone thought that Artest wanted to play singles by himself, suddenly Artest passed the ball behind his back without looking at people.
James was stunned. Damn it, this is playing James, but it is obviously impossible for James to chase this pass, because it is too late. There is no doubt that the speed of the ball far exceeds the speed of people.
Who will be the target of the ball?
Just when everyone was wondering, the result had come out. McGrady had already cut into the inside line when Artest began to play singles. At the same time, Artest seemed to have a pair of eyes behind him, looking at all this in his eyes and passing the ball behind his back in a timely manner.
After McGrady received the ball, she completed a two-handed dunk directly without defense. After landing, McGrady gave Atai a thumbs-up, which means that the pass was beautiful and very beautiful.
McGrady on the court rarely praises one person on the court.
Next, Huang Jun and James also completed a perfect cooperation.
Huang Jun dribbled the ball on the outside, while Landry made a cover for Huang Jun, instead of Big Z as a cover for Huang Jun. Similarly, Battier also made a ballless cover for James, and the quality was very good
James used Batiel's cover to cut directly into the inside line. At the same time, Huang Jun made a breakthrough and then stopped a fake pass. The ball passed very high. He passed Yao Ming and flew towards the basket.
James jumped high, and the eagle spread his wings. He received the ball with both hands, swayed into the basket fiercely, and slammed heavily in the air.
At the same time, I remembered the warm applause and cheers. James made a listening action with his hand, and there was another * at the scene in an instant.
James is obviously very satisfied with this.
Next, McGrady jumped up and passed the ball to Yao Ming's hand. Yao Ming received the ball, took the opportunity to turn around, and then hooked and shot. Brush, the ball entered the net, and Yao Ming scored another goal.
James received the ball at half-time and faced Artest's defense. He tried to see that Artest was not fooled, and James was not in a hurry. Then he made a test again, but Artest was still unmoved. James shot directly with a three-pointer. Artest saw this and rushed up, but it was obvious that Artest's action was too slow, and he didn't know if it interfered with James's shooting.
Everyone's eyes were focused on the ball in the air. The ball was flying, then hit the basket, then into the net, and the three-pointer was scored. This is obviously extremely difficult for James. At the same time, it proves that James's efforts in the off-season have obviously achieved very good results. The fact is that he can't fool the bright eyes of the audience.
Artest took another look at James at this time, and began to pay attention to James's shot in his heart. He didn't want James's current jump shot to be luck or something, which was obviously self-deception.
Then James stole Alstom's pass on the defensive end.
James, who succeeded in stealing, directly launched a fast attack. There was no one in front of him. Will James have a show? Do you ignite the hearts of the fans at the scene? The audience is looking forward to it.
Similarly, James was not prepared to disappoint the fans. Outside the three-second zone, James jumped directly high, and then a big windmill slammed the ball into the basket.
James made a two-handed windmill dunk without defense.
There was a tsunami-like cheers and applause at the scene. There is no doubt that this period is completely James' time.
The Rockets called a timeout in time. At this time, the situation was a little out of his control. He had to make a defense against James. It was difficult for James to defend. It was not a secret, but everyone knew it. Now James has made great progress in jump shots, which is obviously a headache for defenders.
James's progress in jump shots was never expected by Adelman. His eyes were still on James last season, completely ignoring James, who trained hard in the off-season.
Rocket rest area.
Adelman looked at his players and said, "Your performance is great, but the other party's performance is better. I know what you are thinking. It's just that this is a meaningless game. There is no problem no matter how you play it."
After saying that, Adelman looked at the players, didn't wait for the players to speak, and then said, "This is indeed a meaningless game, but we have found something so far in this game. For example, James has made great progress in jump shots, which is better than last season. Artest must be the most clear about this, right? After saying that, Adelman fixed his eyes on Artest.
Artest didn't even think about it and said directly, "Indeed, James has made great progress in this regard, which is more excellent and stronger than last season. It can be said that he has begun to correct his shortcomings and strive to become a player without any shortcomings." Artest said that his evaluation of James was very high, but everyone had no problem. He was the one who had the most say.
After listening to Artest's words, Adelman continued, "It's the third quarter, and we are now five points behind our opponents. This difference is not a problem, and time is not a problem. I need everyone to increase each other's chemistry and integrate into the team as soon as possible. After all, the new season is about to begin. We can do as much as we can now. I don't ask each of you and the team to have perfect cooperation. I also know that this is not urgent, so I give you enough time to evolve yourself."
"Don't think of this game as an indifferent game. No matter what the game is, I hope you have a heart that you don't want to lose. Only in this way can you reach the peak. That's the road you dream of. Otherwise, I have no choice but to say that you will travel in the first round of the year. Tell me that you want to be like this every year. Is it like?"
All Rockets players shouted "no"
Adelman was very satisfied with this. Next, he began to arrange tactics, and there was no more superfluous words, because it was almost time at the same time.
Knight's side.
"James, the chemistry between you two is very good. This is officially what I want to see. You will be very good in the new season. And Battier, your performance also makes me very satisfied. That's why we want to get you. You are the player that every team wants. Brown said with a smile that he was really satisfied with the team's performance, both in terms of strength and chemistry.
The Cavaliers players didn't interrupt. Obviously, they all knew that the coach still had something to say.
Brown continued, "Next, the other party will definitely adjust a little. What I need in this game is to win. I don't have any conditions to win how many points. The only condition is the one I just said. I just want to win. I don't want this lineup to bring back a failure in this game. This is never what our team wants. Our goal is very simple, that is, to win and keep winning. I believe that as long as you perform well, this alliance will not have your opponents.
"If you fail in the end, the only explanation is to lose in your own hands, because your strength is already very good, and I'm afraid there is no excuse to lose. Losing is losing. The manager has done what he can do, and we just need to bring victory to the team and be worthy of the team"
After saying that, Brown looked at the player with a very serious expression.
At this time, the Cavaliers players are meditating one by one, and Brown is not going to disturb them. For the Cavaliers, he will not arrange tactics or anything, because this is just a very normal game, and he needs to rely on the players' own efforts to win the game.
The pause time passed quickly.
After the suspension, the players from both sides will play again. At this time, the feelings of both sides will be very different. I can't say exactly where they are different. The only thing I know is that they are different, but they are different.
"Teacher, the players on both sides are very different from before. Can the teacher see why? Or is it my illusion? Yoga looked at Lu Shun and said.
"You don't have an illusion, but it's really different. As for why, I'm afraid only they know it, but in my opinion, I'm afraid they have figured out something. The only strange thing is that the two sides are different at the same time. Is it a pause for both sides to change at the same time? It's really incredible," Lu Shun said.
The screen goes to the field.
Brooks replaced Alstom, who did not perform well.
Xiaobu held the ball, quickly advanced the half-court, and directly gave the ball to Yao Ming's hand. Yao Ming did not hesitate to catch the ball. He directly turned around and made a jump shot, brushed, hollowed into the net, and chased the score to only three points.
Next, Huang Jun faced Xiaobu's defense and directly changed direction. After breaking through Brooks' defense, he made a jump shot, and the ball was also hollow into the net.
The next rhythm of the two sides suddenly became faster, and the Rockets no longer care about Yao Ming. As long as they can get up quickly, the Rockets must get up quickly. If they can't get up quickly, they will settle down and fight in a positional battle.
At the end of three minutes in the third quarter, the score of the two sides came to 85-eighty-two. The Cavaliers were temporarily three points ahead of the Rockets, and then the ball was still on the Cavaliers' side. That is to say, the Cavaliers still had the opportunity to further widen the difference to about five points.
The results of the next three minutes have a great impact on the fourth quarter. Once the last three minutes of the third quarter are pulled away by the knight, there is no doubt that the chance of real knives and guns in the fourth quarter will be very small. On the contrary, the two sides are likely to continue to fight again. Maybe it is an extra time and kill. Yes, this is a completely uncertain factor.
