The head coach of the Cavaliers is Mike Brown, yes, that familiar "bread".

Brown is a Spurs coach and Pop's first assistant in his early years.

He basically got a true pass from Popovich, and he is very good on the defensive end. On the offensive end, just like Pop did to Duncan, he did to James.

So after watching more than half of the quarter, you can basically feel the Cavaliers' style of play: James plays on the court by himself, and when he gets tired, he lets Hughes play.

But on the defensive end, he is still very good.

Lin Ying is holding the ball at the top of the three-point arc. In front of him is Ilgauskas, and he is constantly waving his hands to interfere with his passing line of sight.

James is not familiar with Lin Ying, but Brown obviously defended Lin Ying.

Lin Ying watched Iverson and Smith move, but they didn't get into any good positions.

The defense rotates, and with James here, it is relatively easy to guard two people.

But if Anthony runs down again, it will be very difficult for the Cavaliers to defend.

After all, Ilgauskas has now been pulled to the top of the three-point arc by Lin Ying.

It's a pity that Anthony can't run.

Lin Ying finally controlled the ball to the right side of the 45-degree three-point line, and then made a tactical gesture.

Oh, I can't believe it.

Anthony singles!

Some people will definitely say, is this different from the opening?

Of course!

It's also a singles game, so tactics are definitely different from just playing singles games.

The space on the court, defensive maneuvers, and opportunities to give the ball are all details.

It's a pity that Anthony is unwilling to pass the ball. Otherwise, with the Nuggets' configuration, it would be good to occasionally intersperse triangle tactics.

At Lin Ying's signal, Smith and Iverson moved to the weak side to take away the defender.

Once the strong side was clear, he immediately lobbed the ball in.

Anthony caught the ball and felt a little excited for some reason.

This feeling is strange, but very real.

You must know that he was already prepared to give in and suppress his desire to attack first. Unexpectedly, Lin Ying asked him to fight alone as soon as he came up!

Catching the ball, facing the frame, triple threat, fake jump and real shot, dry pull-out.

"Whoa!"

I have to admit that when Anthony feels good, this pull-up is really cool.

13 to 14!

1 point difference!

"Defend! Defend!"

The Pepsi Center screamed one after another.

The fans at the scene were in high spirits.

Screaming is the best defensive stimulant, and Karl's arrangement began to work.

Lin Ying and Martin are both excellent defensive players. They constantly create defensive pressure on the ball carrier.

Finally, at the moment when James was forced to stop the ball, Lin Ying saw the right moment and struck.

"Crack!"

Steal!

Taking advantage of James's opportunity to ask the referee for a foul, the Nuggets launched a defensive counterattack.

Lin Ying and Iverson went down the line quickly. Lin Ying had Hughes in front of him and he passed the ball to Iverson.

Iverson went to the free throw line on a fast break, jumped up against Hughes, and threw the ball directly over the basket.

"Bang!"

Lin Ying's one-handed alley dunk!

This goal directly detonated the Pepsi Center.

Yu Jia, who was in the live broadcast seat, was extremely excited.

In this issue of "Basketball Park", he is planning to make a clip of Lin Ying's top five players.

But he has changed his mind now. He must be in the top ten!

Domestic fans also exploded.

This ball steals James's alley-oop dunk, which is so cool.

And the key is, this is already Lin Ying's third round on the court where he has the upper hand!

There is only one emperor in the alliance, and it must be Emperor Lin!

In fact, Lin Ying's strength is definitely far behind that of James.

But a basketball game and one-on-one are not the same thing.

Double-checking the ball carrier and teammates assisting in defense are all commonplace in the game.

What? One-on-one with a real man?

Who will play with you when the defensive strength and offensive strength do not match?

James was a little upset that he didn't get a foul.

He holds the ball at the top of the arc and prepares to make a direct charge.

But before he could start, Iverson came over directly.

James showed his excellent passing ability and passed the ball to Pavlovic immediately.

Pavlovic's open three-point shot.

The trajectory of the ball looks very good, and it can be seen that he has been training a lot.

only……

"when!"

He is really inaccurate this season!

Last season he shot 40.5% from three-point range, but so far this season, his three-point shooting percentage is even less than 25%!

What? Why doesn’t Brown use someone else?

He defends well!

Anthony was so tough in the opening game, not just because James did a good job of assisting in defense.

The long rebound popped up and Lin Ying grabbed it, and he gave it to Iverson with one hand.

This time it was a two-gun fast break between Iverson and Anthony.

James showed his strong retreat speed to defend one against two.

Anthony advanced to the free throw line and had no chance to pass the ball to Iverson.

James turned to face Iverson.

Iverson threw the ball directly to the basket.

Anthony jumped up after him.

James' reaction was outrageous, and he turned around and jumped to interfere.

It's just that he failed to guard him in the end because the opponent was Anthony.

After an aerial confrontation, Anthony lost his balance and hit the board before sending the ball into the basket.

The referee's whistle sounded and the ball was 2+1!

Anthony was knocked to the ground by James. After seeing the ball go in, he turned over and jumped up. He shot his head with three fingers and roared!

Don’t be too happy!

From being frustrated at the beginning, he came on again and scored 4 points, and even directly scored 2+1 on James!

He finally stood up in front of James!

At this time, Martin also ran over and hit Anthony in the chest.

Full of passion.

The fans at the scene were in high spirits.

Not just because of this goal, but in this period, they can feel that Anthony has truly integrated into the Nuggets' offensive system!

Anthony's extra free throw was a solid hit.

18 to 14!

The Nuggets launched a 12-2 counterattack!

They are gaining momentum!

James continued to be double-teamed with the ball in front.

I heard that you are very good at passing the ball, but you should pass it to see if your teammates can make the ball!

James:FXk!

He turned around and threw a three-pointer!

Historically, because James only aspired to win the championship after joining the Heat, many fans actually only watched him play at that time.

Because the inherent impression of him is that he is strong, bulldozer, unreasonable, breaking the brakes and leaving a shoe mark on the floor.

There is even a feeling that James only relies on his body to play.

But that’s just impression flow, and many media outlets also use it to spread rumors.

In fact, during the 1.0 period of the Cavaliers, James' style of play was still relatively elegant because he did not gain weight.

Especially after reaching the peak, his technical movements are very beautiful.

For example, the turn around and three-pointer in front of me seems to have the charm of Kobe.

And because he is strong enough, what he does seems much easier than Kobe.

The arc of the ball after it is released is also very beautiful.

"Whoa!"

Then, the ball went in!

The cheers at the scene suddenly stopped, and the Cavaliers bench was in an uproar.

In this era, there are no weaklings!

James's response was a three-pointer, so tough!

Earlier, Anthony scored 2+1, and the Nuggets went from falling behind to overtaking by 4 points. It was obvious that the Cavaliers' momentum was running out.

But James' three-pointer brought back the Cavaliers' morale all at once!

In fact, James himself was also very excited. After landing, he pouted and his eyes looked like he was going to kill someone.

With the transition between offense and defense, the Cavaliers' defensive enthusiasm surged.

They were originally a strong defensive team, but after this was brought up, the Nuggets couldn't find a chance.

Iverson was knocked down in his final attack, but the referee did not blow the whistle.

The Cavaliers launched a defensive counterattack, and James cooperated with Hughes on the fast break, and Carter made an iconic alley-oop tomahawk dunk across the way!

"Bang!"

Cavaliers, overtake again!

This dunk also made Karl stand up from the bench.

It's true that James is so strong.

And the fact is, with the current lineup of the Cavaliers, it is basically impossible for you to lead the team to the finals with anyone else.

The Nuggets' frontcourt offense still didn't have any good opportunities.

Lin Ying once again signaled Anthony to play in low singles.

But this time the Cavaliers attacked early and didn't want to give Anthony a chance to catch the ball in singles.

Seeing that this attack was about to fail again, but at this moment, a figure outside the tactics appeared.

When Anthony was in position, Smith, who was supposed to go to the corner to create space, was actually cutting to the basket!

If Anthony really started playing solo, he would probably be scolded.

Because this is to give him a double-team package!

But now, this is an opportunity!

Lin Ying saw the right moment and threw the ball directly over the basket!

The angle and timing of this ball throw are very good, but Smith seems to fly at a wrong angle...

Originally, the alley ball should be facing the basket, but when he cut in, he turned around and squeezed through the defense. When he jumped, he was facing the ball but with his back to the basket.

This alley-oop was a mistake!

No, wait!

For ordinary players, this ball would be a mistake, but for Smith... it's an opportunity!

After he got the ball in the air, he turned around and dunked 180° in the air.gif!

The fans were dumbfounded.

The teammates on the Nuggets bench reacted quickly and jumped up one by one.

Too cruel!

As expected of you, JR!

Lin Ying couldn't help but give Smith a thumbs up.

In fact, with Smith's ability, it would be easier to perform a back dunk with his back to the basket, but Smith's strong desire to perform directly escalates the difficulty.

The key is to be able to buckle it in!

The emotions of the fans at the scene exploded again.

Although Smith just wanted to perform, at this time point, when the morale of the Nuggets was relatively low, this dunk came up again!

"Defend! Defend!"

Amid the cheers of the fans, the Nuggets once again played great defense.

James' pass during the breakthrough was directly intercepted by Iverson!

Iverson quickly ran to the frontcourt in one line, and suddenly jumped up and dunked with both hands when facing the empty blue!

Because he's older, he basically doesn't dunk when he gets to the Nuggets.

But I couldn't help it this time, the mood was here!

This buckle adds fuel to the fire!

Denver Center is already buzzing with enthusiasm!

At this time, there was a short whistle on the sidelines, and the Cavaliers replaced Pavlovich and replaced him with Damon Jones.

Jones is exactly the opposite of Pavlovich. He is accurate in three-pointers and has a 41% shooting rate this season, but his defense is useless.

However, there is nothing Brown can do about this adjustment. The more Pavlovic fails to score, the more thorough the Nuggets double-team James.

James controlled the ball in the frontcourt again and couldn't help but take a deep breath.

He didn't know whether it was the air pressure on the plateau of Denver or the reaction of the fans at the scene that made him a little out of breath.

As expected, the Nuggets did not double-team him immediately. He faked a shot and continued to break through.

Lin Ying did not hesitate, and even started to fight a little early to prevent James from getting up to speed.

But James was indeed stronger than him. Although his speed was indeed not as fast as before, he still pushed him into the penalty area.

But because he couldn't pick up the speed, he could only choose to hit the board after a confrontation.

Lin Ying stretched out his long arms to interfere, and James was forced to raise his shooting point.

The ball almost passed Lin Ying's fingertips.

At this time, a monster suddenly jumped up behind Lin Ying.

It's Kenyon Martin again!

Although he had surgery on both knees, his lateral speed dropped a bit and his bounce dropped a bit.

But humans were originally at the level of perverts, and now they are at the level of beasts!

This time, it just looks like a volleyball-style hat.

"Bang!"

The ball was blown out of the field!

Pepsi Center can’t stop tonight!

It felt like the whole team was holding back their energy after losing to the Knicks in the last game, and then burst out together in the game against the Cavaliers!

James: Where's the promised warmth? You guys definitely did it on purpose!

But in fact, the next round is the real answer to this change.

The Cavaliers sent the ball from the sideline but still failed to score, so the Nuggets advanced to the frontcourt to play position.

Pavlovic came off the court, and the Nuggets had a breakthrough on the court. Smith continued to go around the pick-and-roll.

However, Brown does have a way of doing it. He already has a defensive arrangement there, making up for the defense and replacing it with heavy defense.

It was at this time that Lin Ying staged the NBA version of "Zhuge's clever plan".

He looked in the direction of Smith, but he made an alley ball and threw it directly to the basket!

You think I am attacking from the front, but actually I am attacking from the side!

The players on the field didn't react, but the fans on the sidelines saw it.

Anthony turned around and got rid of James and walked towards the basket. He received the pass just right.

"Bang!"

The moment Anthony lowered his head to avoid James' chase and hit the ball into the basket, the Pepsi Center was completely boiling!

The Nuggets have changed!

This is the real answer!

Everyone else on the Nuggets team has changed before, and then tonight Anthony has changed too!

If one day Anthony no longer insists on singles, then the league will feel the terror of this Nuggets team.

Everyone is a vanguard, and Qiuqiu must be among the top five!

And things that made the Cavaliers feel even more desperate were yet to come. Karl shouted from the sidelines that the Nuggets had pushed even further and even pressed the whole court!

Then, it really worked in the first round!

Lin Ying's long arm cut off Hughes' pass and passed it directly to Smith in the frontcourt. Smith took the ball and performed a big windmill reverse dunk.gif!

26 to 19!

The Cavaliers were stopped!

The Pepsi Center is already in turmoil!

At this moment, the fans truly felt that the team in front of them was the real team they expected...
Chapter completed!
