Chapter 685 I Really Want to Win Hammer, I Haven't Won Him Yet

"LeBron, if the Hammer is pinned in the high post, you can try to cut to the basket without the ball. I know you are not used to the ball, so you can attack the basket with the ball, but if the Hammer returns to defense, you must If you want to divide the ball, don't force it. If you give it to Big Z, he has a dislocation advantage against anyone."

"Drew, if the Hammers go back to the basket, you have to make an offensive screen."

He told James and Gooden successively, and then said to shooting guard Damon Jones: "You are on the weak side, I want your three points."

Finally, he said to point guard Snow: "If James cuts, you have to pay attention to passing the ball in place in time. If he gets the ball, you have to pay attention to his return pass."

Pause ends.

Li Ba made an additional free throw, 4:14, the Suns led by 10 points, and the Cavaliers attacked.

Big Z mentioned the high position, and Li Ba followed and defended under the free throw line.

At this time James entered the left wing, only three steps away from the paint, leaning on Battier for the ball.

While asking for the ball, he paid attention to Li Ba so as not to be intercepted.

At this time Snow passed the ball, James saw Li Ba's foot move, immediately took a step forward, and caught the basketball.

"Come on, dynamite kit, try to blow up my basket."

Li Ba didn't move at all, just smiled and hooked his fingers towards James.

"Li Da stinky mouth!"

James muttered something, suddenly exerted force, ran over Battier abruptly, and sprinted towards the paint with the ball.

Li Ba turned around. He had "saw" Gudeng rushing towards him before, so when he turned around, he deliberately avoided it, bypassed Gudeng, and rushed to the basket.

Marion, on the other hand, threw himself at Big Z.

At the same time, Battier, who was run over by James, defended against Gooden.

The tacit understanding of the three was very good, and the defense was changed in an instant.

At this time, James jumped up with the ball, and Li Ba also jumped up to block the shot.

However, James suddenly flicked his hands outward and threw the ball to the big Z in the high position.

Big Z jumps up to catch the ball.

Marion also took off for a steal, but the ball was too high to succeed.

Big Z landed on the ground, jumped up and shot again, and with a bang, the basketball passed the basket.

At 6:14, the Cavaliers trailed by 8 points.

"The big Z of 221 kilograms is misplaced to play Marion of 201 centimeters, and the hit rate will be very high." Barkley complained.

"Aren't you trying to hit my hoop? You pass the ball? Are you a point forward? You coward."

Li Ba spouted at James.

"Don't provoke me, Hammer, I'm not a little kitten like Paul." James laughed.

"Chris Paul? Well, he is indeed a kitten." Li Ba laughed.

James smiled wryly. The last time Chris was beaten into a scum by the Suns, he almost lost his confidence. He called him and chatted for three hours, which made him sleepless.

In the following time, the Cavaliers focused on high and low position coordination tactics, and Big Z frequently got opportunities for misplacement.

The average altitude of the Suns is too low. Except for Li Ba who can shake the center of gravity of Big Z with his strength and achieve good defensive effects through the best defensive techniques, others such as Marion and others are not good at defending Big Z.

But if Li Ba defends at a high position, then James' impact on the basket is unparalleled, and the Suns have no one else to defend against.

In this way, the Cavaliers found a way to deal with the strong defense of the Suns.

After the first quarter, at 18:32, the Suns led by 14 points.

Although the Cavaliers were able to score, it was impossible for Big Z to hit every shot. He made 3 of 6 shots, got a cap from Marion, was intercepted once by Li Ba, and missed once.

James hit the basket 6 times later. He was Li Ba's key defensive target, even more so than Big Z. He swallowed Li Ba's 1 block, 1 steal, 1 dunk, and 2 assists, all of which were given to Big Z. Z.

But as the big Z went to the high position, the Cavaliers' control of rebounds also weakened.

Barkley said: "Although the Cavaliers can score, the point difference has been widened. They have not found a way to reverse the defeat."

"If you control the rebounds, you control the game. This may not be true for other teams, but for the Suns, because of the Hammers, it must be true." Kenny Smith said.

"In a single quarter, he made 4 of 4 shots, 2 of 3 free throws, scored 10 points, 9 rebounds, 2 assists, 4 steals and 4 blocks. The Hammer completely controlled the rebounds. In addition, because James repeatedly hit the basket, he also sent consecutive blocks and Steals, I'm sure he will play 5*5 tonight." Barkley said.

"In the two months since the start of the game, he has averaged 5*5 per game. There is nothing unusual about a 5*5. It is as common as a double-double!"

Kenny Smith said flatly.

"Shet!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he and Barkley swear at almost the same time.

"When did 5*5 become so worthless? It's worth less than a double-double? Average 5*5 per game, my God, I want to cry, I've never had one!"

Barkley said with a sad face.

"Me too."

Kenny Smith also looked uncomfortable and wanted to cry.

The funny dialogue between the two did not make countless people watching the game laugh, because they were also sighing, marveling, and lamenting the incredible fact.

"Kenny, he talked to Kobe about greatness. What I want to know is, is he great now, or is he on his way?"

Buckley asked suddenly.

This question seemed to have stumped Kenny Smith, and he said after serious consideration:

"In terms of the hard honors of the championship, he is far from being great. After all, this is only his third season. After all, he only has one All-Star MVP and one Finals MVP. After all, he only has two steals and a Two rebounding champions and two blocking champions. After all, he only has two DPOYs. After all, he only has a few 4-doubles and dozens of 5*5s. After all, he has only played a 5*5 with an average of double twenty per game for two consecutive months. ..."

At this point, he couldn't go on.

Barkley seems to have no intention of continuing this topic. These statistics are too stimulating for him. He said: "Great or not, let the fans decide. But I believe that even if he is not great now, he will eventually be great. "

Li Ba didn't play in the second quarter. He exhausted a lot of energy in the first quarter, so he needs to recover first.

The quality of James really comes out every 20 years, and he is still playing vigorously on the court without leaving the court. When Li Ba is not on the court, he constantly hits the basket of the Suns. force.

In the first quarter, he made 4 of 9 shots and did not get a free throw on Li Ba. In the second quarter, he made 6 of 9 shots, 3 of 6 free throws, and 10 of 18 shots in the half. He scored 23 points, 4 rebounds and 5 assists. 1 steal, 4 turnovers, 2 fouls.

When returning to the locker room, a group of reporters approached James.

"LeBron, are you going to play the full court today?" A reporter asked.

"I really want to win the hammer, I haven't won him yet." James said as he walked, wiping his sweat.

"In your mind, what does the hammer represent?" Another reporter caught up and asked.
