Showdown, I'm the God of Basketball

Chapter 536 Humiliation
"This is the offense of the Cavaliers. James launched an attack. It depends on whether the Bucks can defend him one-on-one. If you can't defend and choose to double-team him, then other people will bombard him indiscriminately." .”

Barkley agrees with James' style of play very much, because he, who is known as the flying pig, was also good at this kind of ball-crushing style of play in the past.

Although there is no aesthetic feeling at all, it is more efficient and powerful!
The players on the Bucks were stunned by the Cavaliers' first ball.

"Play inside!" Zhao Hao raised his arms and shouted to remind his teammates on the field.

Yao Ming fell low inside, and Gasol tried his best to push Yao Ming hard, pushing Yao Ming away from the paint.

Dayao received a wonderful pass from Zhao Hao.

Back chisel once, twice, three times, Gasol did not move.

Ground hook!

boom!
Hard work!
Reggie Miller exclaimed: "That's not common!

In the last game against the Celtics, Yao Ming shot a terrifying 100% shooting percentage in a single quarter, but when facing the Cavaliers and Gasol, he hit the iron with the first ball! "

Jim Paxson, sitting in the first row of the auditorium, nodded triumphantly, "Don't look at Gasol who is half a head shorter than Yao Ming on the court, in fact, his standing height is even more terrifying than Yao Ming!
Therefore, Yao Ming's proud ground hook in front of Gasol will undoubtedly be disturbed. "

The Cavaliers launched a counterattack, James continued to make fast breaks, and was about to take off at the free throw line.

beep!beep!
Foul!
"No way, Zhao Hao can only defend in this way. After all, let James fly, and no one can think of a way."

Swish!
James made one of the two free throws he is familiar with.

Ramon Sessions crossed the half with the ball again. Zhao Hao glanced at Gasol, who was still fighting desperately with Yao Ming inside, and signaled himself to attack!
Dayao came up to catch the ball, Zhao Hao ran to the right, Desmond Mason made a pick-and-roll, and it was James who defended Zhao Hao, Ramon Sessions picked and rolled again, and Billup defended Zhao Hao s.

Just don't give Zhao Hao a chance to shoot a three-pointer!

"This is infinite defense change!"

Kenny Smith recalled.

Last season, the Cavaliers were able to defeat the Lakers in the finals, relying on this trick of infinite switching and partial double-teaming, which contained Kobe's low-post triangle offensive tactics.

Now, the Cavaliers have continued this defensive strategy, and instead used it to deal with Zhao Hao.

The groom stared at the court and said, "Now we will see how Zhao Hao and the Bucks choose to play."

Zhao Hao did not choose to force a shot against Billups' defense, but continued to run to the baseline without the ball.

"It's a good cut!"

Yao Ming had sharp eyes and quick hands, and made a wonderful pass like a cannonball hitting the ground. Zhao Hao spread his wings and flew high with the ball.

"The Turtle Dunk is coming!"

boom!
Gasol rushed over from behind, pulled Zhao Hao down from the air, and the basketball bounced off the front of the basket.

The referee blew his whistle, another foul.

At the beginning of the game, both teams were very defensive.

Gasol covered his mouth with both hands and said secretly: "You don't want to go inside if I'm here, I still have 5 fouls to play with you."

Zhao Hao made two free throws at the free throw line.

Turning around, James forced Desmond Mason again, Zhao Hao was forced to double-team, and James directly passed the ball to Korver on the baseline before the double-team formed.

Swish!
Three point shot!

"Looking at Korver's shot, you know the ball is solid!
Zhao Hao's three-pointer is fast, Ray Allen's three-pointer is flat, and Korver's three-pointer is steady!

Since Korver was traded to the Cavaliers, he averaged 13 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists per game, but his three-point shooting percentage reached a terrifying 42%, and in open situations, his three-point shooting percentage was 60% Such an exaggeration!

This means that Korver's three-pointer must not be released! "

The Bucks were beaten 6:2 by the Cavaliers!Relying solely on Zhao Hao's free throws, he scored 2 points.

Turning his head, Zhao Hao ran into the penalty area without the ball again. The Cavaliers made it clear that he would not give him a chance to shoot a three-pointer. Twenty, so I would rather let him break through the inside than easily give a three-pointer.

Zhao Hao went inside, and this time it was James who rushed over, wanting to top him off.

Zhao Hao stayed in the air, moved the ball down, and shot again after James' block was over, but Gasol pounced from the side again.

boom!
The basketball was slapped hard and flew out.

James made another fast break, this time without Zhao Hao's chasing defense, but no one could keep up.

boom!
James' tomahawk snaps!
"8:2!
This is the Cavaliers!

The audience makes you feel powerless! "

Cole quickly called a timeout, replaced Desmond Mason, who was almost blown away by James, and took Yi Jianlian.

Mason's role on the court itself is defense. His offense has not been prominent enough, and his three-point threat is not stable enough. Since he can't guard James at all, he might as well take Yi Jianlian and let Villanueva come to the small forward position. In this way, the Bucks' offensive firepower will also be maximized.

"Coach Kerr of the Bucks also found a problem with the team's offense on the court.

Gasol's defense on the inside cannot be ignored. Zhao Hao did not take advantage of his consecutive attempts to get inside, and there are Billups and James on the outside. "

Kenny Smith would like to say that the Bucks' current lineup can be called the top five of death.

Yao Ming's height is 226cm, Yi Jianlian's height is 213cm, and Villanueva's height is 211cm. The height of these three people alone is enough to occupy half of the court.

This has given the Cavaliers, who mainly focus on inside offense, a lot of trouble.

The Bucks attacked again. Yao Ming mentioned that the high position attracted Gasol's defense, and Yi Jianlian began to sit in the low position. The defender was Drew Gooden, who was only 208cm tall.

It's just that Gu Deng's height is a little shorter, but his weight is heavier than Yi Jianlian.

After failing to break away from Gooden in a row, Yi Jianlian tried a turnaround jumper.

Duang!

Hard work!
Villanueva grabbed the rebound and made a putback.

"Yi Jianlian's low-post attack still needs to be learned, and he has never been good at this kind of attack, but if Yao Ming doesn't pull Gasol out, it will always be troublesome for the Bucks to attack the inside.

Fortunately, the Bucks have a very high lineup, and they are very good at rebounding. "

Finally solved the offensive problem of the Bucks, Cole is also looking forward to seeing if the team can rely on this lineup to defend against the Cavaliers' offense.

James didn't try a tank layup again, but Billups initiated the offense, played a high pick-and-roll with Gasol, and then misplaced singles Yao Ming to accelerate to the basket and score.

"This is a bit of bullying Yao Ming's footsteps.

The Cavaliers have two completely different top ball-handlers in the league. When the opponent's inside line is too high and the defense is too strong, James will not go to the basket, but let the more dexterous Billups connect the team. And destroy the opponent's defensive formation.

It seems to work well now. "

At the end of the first quarter, the Bucks had nothing to do with the Cavaliers' offense. Instead, they were restricted enough on the offensive end.

At 22:30, the Bucks trailed by 8 points.

The second game.

Cole replaced Yao Ming and picked up Lufen, Yi Jianlian, Bobby Simmons, Zhao Hao and Charlie Bell. He really didn't dare to let Zhao Hao rest.

It's just that the Cavaliers also took Anderson Varejao, Wally Szczerbiak, James, Korver, and Daniel Gibson.

"The Cavaliers are on an 8-man rotation!
This means that the Cavaliers' strong players will stay on the court more.

The Bucks have a 9-man rotation, which is also one of Coach Kerr's coaching styles, allowing role players to play their energy.

It's just that the Bucks' bench strength is already very poor, and such a rotation is not a good thing for them. "

Sure enough, as soon as this lineup was brought up, James went inside and scored consecutively.

Ruffin's defense is almost tens of thousands of stabs in the interior, and anyone who comes can easily score.

Ruffin's average per game this season is only 2 points and 4 rebounds, which is indeed a bit too much for the Bucks.

Cole called a timeout again and took Villanueva up again. He also had to get enough rest time for Yao Ming in the first half of the second quarter.

On the other side, Gasol also hurried to rest. This game is destined to be a situation where Yao Mingxiu will rest, and Yao Ming will go to him.

Although Villanueva's defense against James was still not good enough after he came on the court, the Bucks' offense recovered anyway.

Zhao Hao broke through with the ball and gave it to Yi Jianlian in the bottom corner, who scored with an anti-aircraft gun.

Villanueva also hit a magical three-pointer against James' defense.

Mike Brown was quite surprised off the court, because Zhao Hao's passing ability was significantly better than when he was in the Cavaliers.

He knows how difficult it is to defend Zhao Hao after he possesses top passing ability, it is definitely more terrifying than defending James.

In the last 2 minutes of the second quarter, Zhao Hao suddenly started the rampage singles mode.

First, Billups made a three-pointer with a singles retreat from the outside, and then he made a mid-range pull-up against Korver's defense.

Mike Brown is used to it, knowing that Zhao Hao will stand up and forcefully reap the game every time he reaches the final stage of the quarter and the last few minutes of the whole game.

It's just that heads-up is the most energy-intensive offensive method after all. He doesn't believe that Zhao Hao can defeat the Cavaliers alone, and it's impossible for the entire game to be endless heads-up.

At 46:55, the Bucks fell behind more and more.

Second half of the game.

Yao Ming tried to single Gasol again in the low post, this time replacing it with Dameng's step-back jumper.

Duang!

Still hit the iron!
"Dayao's offense is most afraid of tall and long-armed monsters. Even Shaquille O'Neal and Duncan's defense against Yao will not feel too much pressure, and Gasol's defensive deterrence to him is too great."

Su Qun shook his head again and again.

After all, this is the Eastern Conference Finals, and they are still facing the Big Three Cavaliers. If Yao Ming can't get out of the offensive circle as soon as possible, then the Bucks will definitely not be able to beat Zhao Hao alone.

In the third quarter, the Bucks continued to fall behind 70:85.

During the holiday break, Cole called everyone together.

Yao Ming's offense was blocked, and the Bucks' pass-and-cut tactics were completely defended by the Cavaliers. At this time, he could only use the most helpless but most effective offensive method.

"Everyone spread the space on the pitch!

Let Zhao Hao attack alone in this quarter!
Zhao Hao, now is the time when you have to stand up and carry the team forward, throw off your sleeves and hit me! "

Hearing this, Yao Ming on the side also gritted his teeth in self-blame.

In the first game of the Eastern Conference Finals, he was prevented from being constipated by Gasol.

Although I also blocked the opponent's offense, Gasol didn't dare to single him at all, but kept playing pick-and-rolls with James and Billups, and then went down to find opportunities or grab second rebounds.

But the Cavaliers have the Big Three!

Without Gasol's offense, James and Billups can stand up and reap the game, and even their role players include Korver, Drew Gooden and Varejao.

But for the Bucks, without his support, Zhao Hao almost had to fight the Cavaliers alone.

The game continues.

As soon as Zhao Hao came up, he fired with full firepower!

Consecutive hits from the three-point line halted the Cavaliers' play.

"Give me double-teaming that diaper! Don't double-team anything after halftime, I want you to double-team the whole court, exhausting his physical strength! Reduce his singles success rate."

After the timeout, Zhao Hao was frequently targeted by the Cavaliers. One person led the defense, two double-teamed after halftime, and three broke through to intercept.

Such defensive strength forced Zhao Hao to give the ball away.

Yi Jianlian and Yao Ming succeeded in eating cakes one after another.

But looking back, they still have nothing to do with the Cavaliers' offense. Compared with the difficulty of the Bucks' offense, the Cavaliers' offense is simply easy and freehand.

James kicked Desmond Mason back, and Varejao, who was on the bench, stood up excitedly and taught James the back kick.

Run it, push it up, find the rhythm, watch the footsteps.
James: "I need you to teach?"

Swish.

With a turn around and a counter-basket, James singled Mason and scored.

"This is not teaching James to play, the Cavaliers are completely humiliating the Bucks!

Shenma defeated the Celtics, you are all younger brothers in front of my Cavaliers! "

Mason, who was humiliated, was furious and almost hit James, but was called a foul by the referee instead.

beep!beep!
"The whistle ended, and the Bucks lost the game with a huge difference of 98:118, 20 points!
Let us congratulate the Cavaliers, one step closer to their 73 wins and three consecutive championships. "

A 20-point defeat was also the first time the Bucks had played since the playoffs.

The player tunnel after the game.

The excited Kecheng people kept spouting trash talk at Zhao Hao. Although they still love Zhao Hao as a player, they would not throw things, pour water, or greet the whole family, but the trash talk was still very lethal.

Ruffin looked at the listless teammates who returned to the locker room, and said excitedly: "Don't mind! Guys, we just lost one game. We still have a chance to fight them again in the next game." !"

Charlie Belwang burst into tears and cursed, "If you hadn't been scored 8 points in a row by James when you were on the court, how could we have lost so badly!"

Yes, throughout the playoffs and even the regular season, Ruffin's role on the court was almost negligible. He did drag the team back too much.

Ruffin fought back tears and did not speak.

Why doesn't he want to contribute to the team? It's just that he is a famous homeless man in the league. Any team that has a vacancy in the off-season will sign him with a minimum salary.

He has averaged 3 points and 3 rebounds per game in his career, and he is the lowest player in the league. Moreover, he is 32 years old this year and has suffered serious injuries.

Yi Jianlian came from Ruffin and said: "Charlie, don't you let Billups come and go freely in the penalty area? You are also responsible for losing!"

Seeing that Yi Jianlian stood up for Lu Fen, Charlie Bell blushed and dared not speak out. After all, Yao Ming and Zhao Hao were behind Yi Jianlian.

Yao Ming stopped all the quarrels and said out loud: "Stop talking, this game is all my fault!
It was because I was guarded to death by Gasol that the team was beaten so badly. "

这场比赛姚名12投4中，罚球8罚6中，只拿到了14分10篮板2盖帽的数据，这样的表现对于他来说无疑是灾难性的。

The crowd didn't speak, who has the right to scold Yao Ming.

The locker room was quiet for a while, Zhao Hao sighed and attracted everyone.

"If the quarrel continues like this and the Cavaliers are not used to deal with us, we will lose ourselves."

The Bucks and everyone in the world know that Zhao Hao has always had a bad temper, so his teammates also waited for Zhao Hao's reprimand.

"Without Ruffin, we would have disbanded early in the regular season and couldn't even make the playoffs."

Everyone in the Bucks looked up, and Ruffin, who had been holding back tears, finally couldn't help but choked up, "Boss"

Zhao Hao continued: "You were bullied on the field, who stood up for you? It was always Ruffin!
He is our well-deserved leader on the pitch! "

Charlie Bell also bowed his head in shame at this time. As a substitute player, when he was bullied and used dirty tricks on the court, it was Ruffin who stood up for him. He still accuses the other party like this, it is simply no conscience.

"It's true that Ruffin has neither offense nor defense, and even the team's tactics are not running well, but his role to the Bucks is irreplaceable.

Yi Jianlian's mentor, the first bodyguard of the Bucks, was even fined $10 by a technical offense for standing up for his teammates. " Zhao Hao continued.

"I'm sorry, I just want to win!" Charlie Bell whispered.

Ruffin put his arms around Charlie Bell's shoulders with a smile and said: "My brother, what are you talking about! The story has been turned! The story has been turned!

Let's play again next game! "

Yi Jianlian also quickly apologized to Charlie Bell.

Desmond Mason, who was humiliated by James and the Cavaliers, stood up and said: "But we can't always let the boss carry the team forward alone, we must find ways to make some efforts!

Those guys from the Cavaliers are so arrogant! "

Yao Ming walked to the middle of the locker room and raised his hand, and everyone walked over tacitly.

"If they want to be arrogant, then we will go all out!

The soft ones are afraid of the hard ones, the hard ones are afraid of the horizontal ones, and the horizontal ones are afraid of the deadly ones. We are all desperate for our lives, and we are still afraid of his hammer! "

"Milwaukee!"

"Go and win!"
