Less than three minutes into the game, the Cavaliers only relied on James' breakthrough to score two points, but the Knicks used continuous pick-and-roll cooperation to gain as much as 8 points, and forced Mike Brown to call a timeout with an 8:2 little *.

The Knicks scored all the 8 points at the beginning were obtained by Wu Huang and David Lee, and they each scored four points. The Knicks only relied on a simple pick-and-roll cooperation to make the Cavaliers unable to resist.

O'Neal's problem is that he can't defend at all. His defense range is too small. Xiao Mo can't be so awesome at one and two. That's what it's like to steal the gorilla's limelight, right?

The former No. 1 center in the league, but now he doesn't want to accept his old age. Five years ago, O'Neal gradually couldn't beat Yao Ming because of his slowdown. After leaving the Heat and coming to the Suns, although he could occasionally look back, O'Neal had already begun to be unable to play in the face of the power-type blue-collar insider. Now that he has come to the Cavaliers, at least James and the Cavaliers fans have thrown the blame for the poor record to this fat shark, and he is the only one to take the blame. Who told him to lose the game as soon as he comes to the Cavaliers?

As the saying goes, the hero is old, Barkley must know this feeling very well, but this does not prevent him from opening his mouth to mock O'Neal. This kind of opportunity to take advantage of the situation will never be missed. "The 37-year-old O'Neal is already showing his old age, but I don't think he averages only 12 points and 6 rebounds per game." What Barkley is talking about is the average data of O'Neal in the first six games.

Kenny Smith knew that this guy was going to disgust O'Neal again, but asked very well: "So, what kind of performance do you think a 37-year-old player should have?"

Barkley laughed, secretly gave Smith a thumbs up in his heart, mocking her all, and said, "Chamberlain scored 13.2 points and 18.6 rebounds in the last season of his career, and played 82 games. He just won the championship the year before; Gungou Kareem Abdul Average 22 points and 7.9 rebounds per game when he was 37 years old. After that year, he continued to play for five years and won three championships. Even Admiral Robinson, who was once called a softie by O'Neal, still often contributed a double-double at the age of 37, and he won a championship before leaving."

O'Neal didn't know that Barkley started to blackmail him every day again. However, the Sharks were still in a bad mood because Mike Brown chose to replace him, which was tantamount to slapping him in person. He couldn't even remember when he was replaced in less than three minutes.

James was also dissatisfied with O'Neal. O'Neal, who couldn't pull out of the penalty area, blocked his way to break through at the basket. This was the case with the loss to the Bulls in the last game. Whenever he wanted to break through with the ball, there was always a lot of people in the interior line. Especially O'Neal's huge body and big butt, one person occupies the position of three people, so how can he have room for breakthrough?

This timeout, the Cavaliers replaced O'Neal with Big Z.

After the game restarted, James broke into the Knicks' basket twice in a row and scored successfully, once on the basketball court, and once on the foul and made both free throws. The effect of this substitution was immediately effective.

Big Z is also old, but he can shoot at mid-range to help James open up space, and so is JJ Hickson. As long as the inside line is empty enough, James can toss and do whatever he wants at the basket.

Most people use "heavy tanks" to describe James' breakthrough, which means that he can limit his impact unless he is surrounded by two or three people. Even teams like the Spurs and Celtics, which are quick and tacit in assisting in defense and filling up positions, at least one person must follow the defense and one person can only limit him slightly.

But in this way, someone on the Cavaliers' outside line will definitely leak out. As long as they can convert James' pass into assists, the Cavaliers are a team that is difficult to defeat.

The Knicks still defend according to the strategy they set before the game. They don’t need to put too much energy into James. Even if he scored 50+ today, he would admit it. However, if other Cavaliers players except James scored more than 50+ points in total, they would be considered as the Knicks’ defense completely failed.

In fact, such defense is simple, as long as everyone does not lose their position, just keep a close eye on their own one-acre three-point land.

Wu Huang has the heaviest task today. Mo Williams is the Cavaliers' No. 2 scorer. He is also one of the few players who can score independently except James. The second is Supreme Emperor Deronti West, who is also a double-aware guard. These three people in the Cavaliers can attack with the ball, and Wu Huang must defend two of them.

Although this task is arduous, as long as he can limit the scores of these two people, D'Antoni's tactics will be half successful.

James had a fierce offensive in the first quarter, and the Gorillas' idea was very simple. Since the Knicks dared to defend him alone, he would dare to play the Knicks and take the initiative to change their defensive strategy.

Emperor Wu still cooperated with David Li on the pick-and-roll, and then used the breakthrough to create opportunities to shoot.

The offense on both sides is simple, but the defense is very different.

The Knicks now have a defensive strategy, but in fact, there are still not many rules to describe in detail.

The Cavaliers are different. This team responds quickly on the defensive end, and the Knicks' pick-and-roll offense poses great threat, so the Cavaliers immediately changed their strategy.

Although Mike Brown is often criticized, he has done a good job in studying opponents and pre-game arrangements and is targeted. During the game, the effect is also good after each time the arrangement is arranged. But what he is worse is his ability to respond on the spot, which is mainly reflected in the slow pace of the timeout. This may be because he has not thought about the coping strategy.

Although Mike Brown has some shortcomings, he has an advantage that ordinary people cannot reach. He is very self-aware, knows what he is good at and what he is not good at.

On the offensive end, Mike Brown's response speed is similar to D'Antoni's response speed on the defensive end, which is his flaw, so Black Bread simply gave the decision to James, allowing him to decide how to play on the court, and he would play as he wanted. This is why many people mocked him as an assistant coach of the Cavaliers.

But "defense" is Brown's best area. The Cleveland Cavaliers ranked third in the league in terms of limiting opponents' scoring last season. Wu Huang quickly experienced the Cavaliers' defense. He felt more and more that there were more and more people around him, and the room for display was smaller and smaller.

The Cavaliers had special research on him before the game, and today they are in positions where he likes to shoot with the ball. The Cavaliers often arrange heavy troops in advance, and then drive him out of these areas through the advantage of numerical power, forcing him to shoot in the shooting hot zone where he is not good at.

"So that's it. But it's too naive. I don't have a hot shooting zone at all. I can shoot anywhere!" Although Emperor Wu was not very adaptable to such "snatching the siege" defense, it was impossible for the Cavaliers to use this method to prevent him from scoring points.

Black Bread's face became darker and darker off the court. He found that even if he drove Wu Huang out of these shooting hot zones, he still could not stop the Chinese from scoring. The shot was like a cheater being turned on.

After the first quarter, the score was 29:28, the Knicks led the Cavaliers by 1 point and ended the first quarter.

The defenses of both teams in the first quarter were targeted, but neither played any role.

James scored 16 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists in a single quarter. The Knicks' defense obviously failed. The gorilla not only scored without mercy, but also got two assists and slapped D'Antoni hard.

Mike Brown's face is also swollen now. His tactics against Wu Huang were even more unsuccessful and even more failed! The Cavaliers actually let Wu Huang play a single quarter data better than James. This damn rookie made 7 of 8 shots in a single quarter, scoring superstar data of 17 points, 2 rebounds and 3 assists, and also broke his single quarter score record.

Wu Huang's performance in the first quarter shocked many fans. I can't believe how he made such accurate shots?

Mike Brown must take the blame well. The defensive tactics he arranged against Wu Huang in this game are really a complete failure!

But this cannot be entirely blamed on Black Bread. Wu Huang has played too few games now, and the teams in the league do not know enough about him. The Cavaliers' defensive strategy obviously did not hit his weakness, but instead allowed Wu Huang to play in the best form, which was considered a test of his own.

"We must not let him shoot easily, even in positions where he doesn't shoot very well." Mike Brown specially counted the areas where Wu Huang shot the least, and wanted to force him to shoot in these positions, but he didn't know that Wu Huang was not shooting in these positions, not because he was not accurate, but because he shot more accurately in other positions.

In the second quarter, after losing the lead of the Little Emperor, the Cavaliers' substitute immediately returned to their true nature, and was teamed up by Harrington and Fry to score a 7:2 small*. The difference was immediately widened to 6 points.

It only took more than two minutes to play this quarter. When Black Bread saw that the situation was not good, he hurriedly changed James to the other.

Before the game, he seemed to be planning to fight and decide quickly. Now he is not only unable to achieve the set goal, but he is at risk of being counterattacked.

James only took two minutes to rest and then went into battle again. The gorilla during the Cavaliers era is definitely a body of steel, and his physical strength is at its peak. Even if he plays for 48 minutes, he will not have cramps.

Wu Huang watched as James kept carrying the Knicks' double defense from behind the court with his own strength.

This is dominance. As long as he is in good condition, even a double-team can't stop the brutal chimpanzee from raging on the field!

D'Antoni said he had no choice. The double-player defense had violated the defensive arrangements they had set before the game. They were purely Danny Green's own decision on the spot, but he still couldn't stop the gorilla. If more people were to defend, there were still many three-pointers with superb shooting skills on the outside, so he would never do this.

James became more and more crazy on the court. At the 7th minute and 55th second quarter, James first used his explosive power to force his breakthrough through Harrington, then used a rugby posture to fly Danny Green, and finally ignored the backup defense and reached the basket. Qianning Fry swung his black arm that was thicker than ordinary people's thighs, and a single-handed slash like a powerful tomahawk like a mountain of Huashan, smashed the ball into the basket with a "clang" sound!

"God, this is really a slam dunk that hits thunder!" Barkley is not only Black O'Neal in daily life, but James is also the number one person he often offends. This sentence cannot be said unethical.

"LeBron is so fierce! It's really fierce! Relax, don't break the basket!" Kenny Smith quickly wiped Barkley's butt. He didn't know how many complaints he would cause after the game.

D'Antoni couldn't bear it anymore. He originally looked at Du Hong quite liked, but now he felt that this guy had no spiritual energy at all. Once Emperor Wu came to the court, the style of the entire team seemed to have changed.

As soon as Wu Huang stood up from the bench, the New York fans who empathized with D'Antoni in the stadium immediately gave him a thunderous cheer!
