I really just want to be a role player

Chapter 76 Defense depends on bread, attack James!
At the beginning of the game, James stood on the free throw line without pulling his hips, and made two "swish"s, opening the scoring account for the Cavaliers first.

2 to 0! !
Crack, crack, crack——!
Mike Brown coached for the first time in his career, and he couldn't sit still. Seeing James score, he immediately stood up and applauded.

On the court, the Heat attacked the round.

Jason Williams made a confusing breakthrough with the ball, which was watched dead by Snow.

Anyone who plays next to Iverson, who is the defensive leader, will not be too weak in defense.

After all, the defense is too weak, partnering with Iverson is a double leak in the backcourt, and it is impossible to have a chance to play.

Snow can be Iverson's guard, and he can enter the top 1 in the league in terms of defense at the 5st position.

Wade took the basketball and found that his side was not easy to attack.

Opposing him was Larry Hughes, the best defensive player of the 04/05 season.

You can say that Larry Hughes' "a while" was too watery, Kobe focused on offense, Artest was trapped in the Auburn Hills Palace incident and the impact of the subsequent suspension...

He can be elected, the only thing he can do is to average 2.9 steals per game and get the honor of steals king.

But in any case, to be able to score the best defense, Larry Hughes' defense, at least not too bad.

Wade is also very good. He did what Kobe failed to do, let O'Neal pull out, and played a pick-and-roll tactic.

Larry Hughes circled the defense very quickly, and James' assist defense was not slow...

"Wade passed the ball out, Haslem on the left is empty!"

Catch the ball, jump up, Haslem is about to shoot a two-point jumper, and James' block suddenly appears in front of him.

He had tried to overestimate James' physical mobility, but underestimated it.

Bang-dang-!
"James slumped back, interfered with the shot, and Haslem shot wide.

Big Z picked off the board, dribbled a step, and threw the basketball forward..."

Larry Hughes and James rushed up at the same time.

Both are good counter-attackers and swing forwards with strong bodies.

Wade and Jason Williams quickly retreated back.

"James rushed up, completely unreasonable, everything is reckless, but no one can stop..."

Bang-dang-!
James counterattacked and scored two points with a one-handed dunk.

4 to 0! !
Off the court, Stan Van Gundy pressed his gesture on the sidelines, signaling to suppress the rhythm.

……

6 minutes passed.

The Heat were completely overwhelmed on both offense and defense.

"It's James again, he forced Haslem, caused Haslem's foul, and went to the free throw line..."

……

"The Cavaliers shrunk in the penalty area and used their mobility to encircle the two-point line. Wade had a hard time suddenly, O'Neal had a hard time receiving the basketball, and Walker's missed three-pointer strengthened the Cavaliers' determination to shrink the defense... ..."

……

"And the Cavaliers attack, and the basketball is handed over to James..."

At this time, the Cavaliers played a tactic of "defense with bread and attack James", which unexpectedly restrained the Heat's lineup.

As a small forward, Haslem only has a mid-range shot. Walker is looking for a three-pointer.

Facing the Cavaliers' intensive defense and blocking the penalty area, neither Wade nor O'Neal has room to attack.

Although it is impossible for the Cavaliers to limit the "blind combination" every round, the offensive efficiency is definitely not high.

The Heat couldn't start the offense, and because of Posey's absence, there were flaws in the forward line, but they were always in front of the Cavaliers.

Basketball has always been in the hands of James, and Haslem has an advantage in strength confrontation, but his speed and explosiveness are very disadvantaged.

Haslem had 6 fouls on his back in the 2th minute of the first quarter.

Even the off-court fans clearly know that Haslem can't stop James, who is fully fired.

Stan Van Gundy was also very busy, applauding on the sidelines for a while, hugging his chest for a while, and thinking coldly for a while, but he didn't make any adjustments.

Like his younger brother Jeff Van Gundy, he prepared well before the game, but adjusted on the spot very slowly, or even did not adjust...

In the 8th minute of the first quarter of the game, when Haslem was broken by James' rampant crab step and caused the third foul, Stan Van Gundy thought of making substitutions and adjustments.

In order to stabilize the wave, he replaced the veteran Shanton Anderson.

This person, who is now 33 years old, has suffered a serious injury, and his physical fitness has declined seriously. He is a marginal person who wants to have no body and no skills.

The results played, no surprises.

Facing James, whose body is about to reach its peak, it is also a gift, and he has no power to parry at all.

Fortunately, it survived the first quarter of the game.

The score was 31-24.

骑士队反客为主，在詹姆斯7投5中，罚球6中5，单节15分3助攻3篮板的带领下，取得7分的领先优势。

In the second quarter, James and Gooden continued to play.

Since the 04/05 season, James' average playing time has become 43 minutes. Counting the games without suspense and winning the game, James may only rest for 2 or 3 minutes per game. To a certain extent, his perverted body is already No.1.

Donyell Marshall, Damon Jones and Aleksandar Pavlovic came off the bench.

Not to mention, Mike Brown is very thoughtful, knowing that the "losing bread" of the rotation lineup is unavoidable, so he actually sent a star-studded lineup.

For the Heat, Wade continued to lead the team, Mourning, Payton, Michael Doriak, and Su Bei came off the bench.

The second quarter begins.

On the commentary stage, Barkley raised some doubts when he saw the rotation of the two sides.

"The Heat's forward line is almost wiped out. Is this going to let Wade defend James?"

"Based on his height, he should be this year's rookie Su Bei.

If it's Subei, Stan Van Gundy must be crazy. Haslem has 3 fouls on his back, so he should be allowed to play.

It's better for the main striker to be beaten to graduate than to be beaten in the game! "

On the field, while Payton was observing, he suddenly started, broke through to the corner area, made an emergency stop for two points and shot a fadeaway jumper...

In a panic, Damon Jones jumped up to block the shot, but he was half a beat behind.

Swish-!
31 to 26! !
Although Payton is old, he is very accurate in CIC.

Attacking and shooting when there was still fuel in the physical fuel tank, he didn't hit indiscriminately.

Subei played soy sauce on the offensive round. On the defensive, he desperately caught up with Pavlovich.

Stan Van Gundy is not crazy, it is impossible for a rookie to match up with James.

Wade won the best defensive second team last season, just to try his dislocation defensive skills.

As a result, try and die.

James ignored Wade's snake tactics and rushed to the basket with the ball.

Wade's speed, strength, and explosive power... are not afraid of James. James faces Wade, pulls the ball up, bullies Wade's height, enters the penalty area, sees Mourning rushing to help defend, and throws the basketball throw.

Bang-!
After the basketball hits the ground, it flies to the left three-point corner.

"James broke through and scored, the basketball passed to the bottom corner, Marshall was in ambush there, raised his hand and made a three-point jumper..."

"Go in, three-pointer from Marshall.

The offense is too easy, you only need to match James with a shooter, and he can take the Cavaliers' offense off..."

34 to 26! !
