king of defenders

Chapter 1085
First of all, does Meng Yun need to be so afraid of Hood?

No need.

With Meng Yun's ability, even James dared to shoot in front of him. How could he not dare to shoot outside because the defender was replaced by Hood.

Secondly, the Heat's scoring during this period seems to be concentrated in the interior.

Both Meng Yun and Lu Wei rushed into the interior every time they got the ball. This is very unreasonable. They have the ability to shoot from the outside.

That is to say, the opponent is playing like this on purpose, and the purpose is easy to guess, because just ten seconds ago, TT was called a thug foul.

"Substitution." Tyler Lu immediately made a substitution.

After replacing TT and Love together and replacing them with rotation players, Tyler Lue was relieved, and almost suffered a big loss.

Love and TT are very important, they are inside protection. If they are troubled by fouls and can only shrink back on the defensive end, the Cavaliers' inside line will become the hardest hit area, and the opponent will take whatever they want.

This is something that Tyler Lu will never allow. If such a scene really occurs, it will not help James even if he scores 40 points.

"Heh, Tyronn Lue's reaction is pretty quick." Rostern laughed.

"It's not like nothing." Craig said: "TT has an extra foul, plus there was another one before, and he has already committed two fouls."

Coach Spoelstra is also very satisfied with this result. Many times things will not develop exactly as you expected. It is impossible to make a lot of money every time. It is good to gain something.

"Substitution."

The Heat also made substitutions here, replacing Meng Yun, Green, and Monroe. There was not much time left in the first quarter.

Putting on a rotation lineup, the two sides came and went, because James was still on the court, so the Cavaliers didn't take much advantage. At the end of the first quarter, the score was 29:26, and the Heat led by 3 points.

Break between festivals.

Tyronn Lue came to James and said, "LeBron, it won't work if you continue playing like this. It will consume you too much. Besides you, someone else must stand up."

"Yeah." James nodded, he also realized this.

He played the entire first quarter without rest, but he couldn't play the full 48 minutes, right?
The overall strength of the Heat is very strong. Besides Meng Yun, there are many excellent role players, such as Lu Wei, Whiteside, Monroe, and Xiang Long.
This is something the Cavaliers don't have, so even if James played the entire first quarter, the Cavaliers still lost by 3 points.

Tyronn Lu said: "In the second quarter, I plan to let you rest for 6 minutes. During the half of your rest, I will let Love stay on the court."

James understood as soon as he heard it.

This is to use himself and Love separately, and each lead other players to play half a quarter. Love is the team's second scoring point besides himself. James has no objection, nodded and said: "Okay."

Tyronn Lue went to look for Love, and told Love to let go of the fire, and he can be given unlimited firepower, as long as you can score.

In the previous first quarter, Love actually did not perform well, because James had the ball in his hands, and he became a pure three-point shooter. With the Heat focusing on restricting his three-pointers, Love did not Can't find many good opportunities to shoot threes.

In fact, Love's scoring ability is very strong, and his skills are very comprehensive, not limited to shooting, but because he can't get the ball, he can't fully use it.

The second quarter begins.

On the Heat's side are Whiteside, Sullinger, Johnson, Lu Wei, Joseph Young, and there is no starting lineup except Whiteside.

This is the background of the Heat. With a strong bench depth, even a five-man rotation is not a problem at all. After all, there are still Xiang Long, Thomas Jr., and Nene who are not on the bench. Nene can also play.

The Cavaliers are Love, Nance, Green (Jeff Green), Clarkson, Hill.

The Cavaliers have the ball, and Hill advances with the ball.

Love saw that the man defending him was Whiteside, and he didn't go to the low post. He asked for the ball from the outside, lowered his center of gravity after getting the ball, took a tentative step, and then suddenly broke through from the other side. Whiteside's footsteps followed He didn't go up to Love, and was passed by Love. Salinger from behind stepped forward, and Le Fu tricked him into jumping up with a feint.

"Yeah." Tyronn Lue nodded secretly, "Love is still very strong, as long as you give him the ball, scoring is not a problem."

The Heat fought back.

Lu Wei is the absolute core of this lineup on the field. Joseph Young is the organizer. After reaching the frontcourt, Joseph Young passed the ball to Lu Wei. Throwing the ball into the air, Whiteside jumped up and made an alley-oop dunk.

"Oh, the Heat returned one here." Smith shouted: "Lu Wei's pass is really beautiful."

"Love's shot just now was also very beautiful." O'Neill confronted, "And just now is just the beginning, Love is about to explode."

Smith didn't argue, because he thought so too.

Sure enough, Love exploded.

Without James on the court, he is the absolute core. It seems that he has returned to the days when he was in the Timberwolves. Love took out all the dusty weapons in his arsenal. If you shrink in, you can shoot three-pointers, as well as turnaround jumpers and hooks.
In a few minutes, Love scored 9 points alone, feeling hot.

The Cavaliers' scoring during this period was mainly concentrated on Love, and Hill and Clarkson also scored.

The Heat's scoring is mainly concentrated on Lu Wei. Whiteside only relied on the alley-oop dunk to get two points. Johnson hit a long two-pointer. Generally speaking, it is inferior to the Cavaliers. It was also reduced to only 1 point left.

"Substitution."

Coach Spoelstra asked for a substitution: "Meng Yun, Monroe, you two, replace Sullinger and Joseph Young."

The problem is mainly in the offense. The Cavaliers Love broke out and scored points again and again. Although Lu Wei is also scoring points, his efficiency cannot keep up with Lu Wei. As for the others, they can only offset each other with the opponent's Hill and Clarkson.

After all, Love is an All-Star player, and his scoring ability should not be underestimated if he breaks out.

"Yes."

Meng Yun and Monroe got up and walked onto the court.

Seeing this, the Cavaliers also made substitutions. Tyronn Lue looked at James, hesitated for a moment, and said, "LeBron, go up and replace Clarkson."

In fact, Tyronn Lu was a little hesitant. Love played very well, proving that his previous decision was correct, but now that Meng Yun has gone up, can Love still resist?

So in the end he decided to send James up.
