Standing pretty old

Chapter 641 Empress Dowager's Gift
On the offensive end of the Cavaliers, Mo * Williams controlled the ball halfway, then handed the ball to James in the high post, and then ran to the other side, looking for opportunities to catch the ball.

James holds the ball in a high position, and Varejao goes up to do a pick-and-roll. After James makes a fake breakthrough, he steps back and shoots directly.

In this season's playoffs, James averaged a career-high 5.8 three-pointers per game, but his shooting percentage was only 33.3%.

"boom!"

Shoot the iron!

The basketball jumped a little far, and Er Niu under the basket didn't get the ball. Instead, Big Z, who was squeezed out of the three-second zone, grabbed the offensive rebound.

Ilgauskas passed the ball to James again, and the latter did not hesitate to pull out again~~
hit!

After James made a strong three-pointer, he waved his arms fiercely and let out a roar.

"Interesting!" Barkley laughed, "Someone responded, so it's Kraft Nguyen's turn!"

Kevin Harlan also explained in the voice most familiar to 2K game enthusiasts: "How will the Chinese respond? I don't think Big Z alone should be able to stop him."

Of course it can't be stopped, the speed gap between the two is too big, Ruan Erniu, who is holding the ball at the bull's corner, just took a random tentative step and swung the big Z aside.

Er Niu immediately rushed into the penalty area with the ball, leaped high, completed a tomahawk dunk, and successfully overtook the score.

On the offensive end of the Cavaliers, James continued to hold the ball in a high position and control the rhythm. This time he did not intend to force a shot.

Mo *Williams and Delonte West crossed back, James immediately sent a through pass, the ball reached the hands of Delonte West under the basket.

West attacked the basket with the ball, and after compressing the Eagles' defensive formation, he distributed the ball.

Varejao in the high position received the ball, raised his hand and shot, hitting a long-range 2-pointer.

Off the court, Woodson couldn't help frowning, he always felt that the rhythm of the game was a bit weird.

On the offensive end of the Eagles, Bibby's defense against Mo * Williams is a long shot.

"boom!"

Missed, but Er Niu took the offensive rebound, and under the double-teaming of Ilgauskas and Varejao, the ball was given to Jon Jonson, who also made a long shot against the defender. Wes This point is also the place where the Eagles have arranged before the game and need to focus on attacking.

"boom!"

Still missed, James got the rebound from the backcourt and immediately advanced the frontcourt with the ball, causing a foul by Bibby during the breakthrough.

After sending out the sideline ball, James pulled out his hand against Salmons' defensive three-point line.

"brush!"

Hit again!

Today James' three-pointer feeling is obviously more determined and better than usual.

This guy must have been stimulated by Er Niu after he failed to act coercively!

Conversely, on the offensive end of the Eagles, after Ruan Erniu attracted a double-teamer and sent a pass, Salmons from the outside line missed another shot and missed a good opportunity to score open.

Woodson had to request a timeout, and the Hawks were terrible on both ends of the floor.

Of course, this is because the Cavaliers have done a good enough job, but it has nothing to do with the Eagles' own slack. They played too smoothly in front of them!
After the timeout, the performance of the Eagles still did not improve much. Woodson couldn't help but rant on the sidelines, asking the players to improve their concentration.

The first quarter of the game became a game where Er Niu alone played against the entire Cavaliers team.

阮二牛单节9投7中，罚球2罚2中，砍下16分，6板。

And what about the other players?

囧囧森3投0中，迈克*毕比4投1中，萨尔蒙斯2投0中，月食2投0中。

If it weren't for Ronald Murray and Birdman who came off the bench to be effective, the Hawks might even be beaten by their opponents in the first quarter.

Even so, at 33:23, the Eagles still trailed their opponents by 10 points in the first quarter, digging a big hole for themselves.

James, who made 8 of 4 shots in a single quarter and 3 of 2 three-pointers, actually didn't fully exert his strength, but even so, the Cavaliers still had an advantage on the scene.

Ilgauskas, who can no longer jump, is also worthy of praise.

He scored 7 rebounds in a single quarter, grabbing one more than Kraft Nguyen, and also had two offensive rebounds, and made 5 of 3 shots in a single quarter, scoring 6 points.

Able to use his height and skills, and contribute to the team in scoring and rebounding at the same time.

On the surface, Big Z was blown up by the Chinese, but in fact, it actually reduced the overall effectiveness of the Eagles and entangled the player who played the best on the court.

Erniu himself is suffering and can't tell. It's too early to pretend to be aggressive. The Cavaliers' will to win is beyond the Hawks' imagination. The 8-game winning streak in the playoffs made the Hawks a little lost.

The Cavaliers' performance in the first quarter was enough to earn them respect.

Looking at how happy Ms. Gloria James is holding James' head on the sidelines, you can see how well the first quarter was played.

Nonsense, even the empress dowager is happy, can the knight's game state be bad?

According to the usual practice, if the Cavaliers can beat their opponents and advance to the finals, Ms. Gloria will definitely hug and even kiss the Cavaliers players one by one in the player channel.

After the end of the past two tie-breaks, Cavaliers players have enjoyed such "benefits".

Well, that will have to wait until the Cavaliers have eliminated the Eagles. Just playing a good quarter is not enough for the Cavaliers to sit back and relax.

"What are you XX doing? Are you on vacation? Give me XX to wake up! This is the playoffs! If anyone shows me XX's sloppy look again, I will let him spend the rest of XX on the bench." next game."

How dissatisfied Woodson is, you can probably know a thing or two from the foul language recorded by the sideline camera.

The second quarter will start soon.

Jon Jonson and Salmons quickly found their touch. They made continuous peripheral shots and quickly caught up the score gap between the two teams.

Just when the Eagles thought they were about to reverse the game habitually again, LeBron James stepped forward.

The king who stood up from the dragon chair instantly turned into a knight commander, brandishing a sword and charged towards the Eagles' camp.

Break through, attack the basket strongly, score, add penalty!
James used the most unreasonable way to hit the Hawks' basket again and again, and once again approached the score.

Ruan Erniu was immediately sent back to the field by Woodson, but facing the red-eyed James, Erniu could only explode with him on the offensive end.

It is idiotic to want to prevent a superstar from dying, and relatively reducing efficiency is a more realistic strategy.

In the fierce game state, Er Niu and James had two direct dialogue scenes.

Once, James held the ball in a high position and was dislocated against Ruan Erniu's defense. He made a 16-foot mid-range shot.

Another time, Erniu faced James, who was shrinking inside, in a low position. As a result, Erniu hit back consecutively. At the 12-foot position, he made a fallback jumper and also responded to the opponent with a mid-range shot.

The two direct confrontations between Super Giants can also be regarded as the epitome of the second quarter.

The Hawks are gradually returning to normal, but the Cavaliers have been at their best.

At 30:29, the Eagles lost a small point in this quarter, and it can be said that they had a tie with the Cavaliers.

At the end of the half, at 63:52, the Eagles trailed by 11 points and ended their first-half competition in G1 of the Eastern Conference Finals.

Kenny Smith concluded: "The Cavaliers are the team that is more prepared, but the Eagles are not without a chance. They should actively adjust their state during the intermission."
