Chapter 219 The Seventh Scene (5)

The score between the two sides has been heating up all the time. Under Shi Lei's indulgence of defending the pass, he got rid of the shackles of double-teaming. James advanced to the free throw line and made consecutive mid-range shots, increasing his score in seven rounds of offense and defense. To 16 points.

As for the Celtics, under Shi Lei's full cover, the inside line formed by Garnett and Perkins gradually gained the upper hand.

In this era, rebounds determine the outcome of a game is still quite a mainstream view. After Ray Allen hit a three-pointer, the Celtics temporarily expanded the point difference to six points.

It is now the middle of the second quarter of the game, and the six-point difference is not enough to guarantee victory, but the head coach of the Cavaliers dare not wait any longer. People help James share the pressure on him.

During this period of time, James' scoring was the team's only reliance on the score. Other players were unable to do anything under the defense of the Celtics. This made the Cavaliers' lack of personal ability as a substitute even more magnified. Mike Brown replaced the main force, Just want to find a second scoring point for the team.

However, this is an illusion that Rivers and Shi Lei have always wanted to create.

Specifically, James is better than Shi Lei in terms of physical fitness, but the responsibilities James has to bear in the team are several times the responsibilities of Shi Lei now.In less than ten short rounds of offense and defense, under Shi Lei's suppression, James, who was extremely difficult to attack or defend every time, felt tired, and he felt his physical strength was rapidly draining.This is not a good phenomenon, when there is more than half of the game.

Therefore, after the main force came on the field, James thought about using the strength of his teammates.

West dribbled the ball into the Celtics' half, and Cassell was not enough to stop his breakthrough. However, within Garnett's huge defensive range, he wanted to go deeper, but it was very difficult.

The breakthrough was blocked, and West quickly passed the ball to James.

"I won't let you score again."

As if he was irritated by James' score, Shi Lei said angrily.

"This is No. 18 points!"

Before James finished speaking, his breakthrough had come.

Along with James' body movements, Shi Lei posted it "angrily".

"Don't try to score."

Before Shi Lei finished his trash talk, James suddenly passed the ball, and the direction of the basketball was Sczerbiak, who was defended by Ray Allen.

But "snap", this pass was intercepted by Ray Allen ahead of time.The illusion that Rivers and Shi Lei worked so hard to create finally began to show.

James was shocked and hurried to stop Ray Allen's counterattack, but saw Ray Allen throw the basketball vigorously. When James turned his head, he saw that the dazzling opponent No. 11 had already run across the center line of the court .

Shi Lei, who was unguarded, successfully received Ray Allen's pass, and the offensive Cavaliers teammates tried their best to rush back, but all the defenses were too late. Shi Lei made a one-handed layup, widening the point difference between the two sides to eight. point.

"Stone finally scored. It's really not easy. I feel that Stone's state after suspension is not very good."

"It's not bad, it's very bad!"

"I guess I'm saving my strength to defend the gorilla!"

"Defensively, you'll be beaten in the face with four points left."

For this game, Shi Lei proposed to Rivers a strategy that harms others and does not benefit himself. This not only disappointed the domestic fans, but also became Barkley's favorite in the commentary booth. The "joke".

"The Celtics' 'King' finally scored, he scored two points, it was a 'great' performance, and it was the same on the defensive end, he allowed LeBron to score eight points in less than half a quarter , Did he say that he won't score [-] points for LeBron, does he mean no more than [-] points in a single quarter?"

"I think so, so he's doing pretty well, and there's a good chance LeBron won't be able to."

It is impossible for Barkley and Smith's loud jokes to reach Shi Lei's ears, which made him "ashamed" to post James when the basketball was still in the Cavaliers' half.

"You won't score again, I swear!"

"But I've scored 16 points."

"No, you can only score 16 points, and then I will let you not even catch the ball!"

Shi Lei was still here swearing, the next second, James ran back and reached out to West for the basketball.

"Look, I got it."

"What's the matter, bastard, I let you catch the ball on purpose, otherwise how can I prove my defense!"

"Defense? Are you defending me? Why can't I feel it!"

James slapped the basketball and turned slightly sideways to speed up instantly.

Reckless guys don't play tricks, the confrontation between James and Shi Lei, in the end, has to be muscle against muscle, Shi Lei's reaction is also very fast, blocking James in time.

Defending James is not a good job. Although Shi Lei is currently known as the best candidate to defend James, he is also experiencing the pain that others can feel.

James' impact caused Shi Lei to feel great pain in his body, but he clenched his teeth and persisted, blocking an inch in front of him.Every push of the opponent, every pain hit, can't make him retreat a bit.

If he wants to be successful, he has to pay a certain price. James is also enduring these things. Shi Lei's obstruction made him feel the difficulty of every advance, and the loss of physical strength several times. After another step forward, he has to go deeper. To the left free throw line.

This area is where Shi Lei defends the most stubbornly. The two confront each other several times. Every time, James shoots in this area. In this attack, he also used all his strength to stay here with Shi Lei. Completed the last confrontation between the two, but he didn't shoot, but changed his body. After turning his body slightly, he quickly passed the ball.

His physical strength tells him that his immediate priority is to get the team to find another scoring point.

Suddenly, a figure jumped out from behind James and cut James' pass. It was Shi Lei.

In defense, Shi Lei has been focusing on monitoring James' passing, otherwise he would not have let James break in and complete the shot so easily.

This is also a manifestation of Shi Lei's overall view and court insight.

"He's tired!"

"He's tired!"

On the sidelines, Rivers had the same idea as Shi Lei almost at the same time.

After Shi Lei completed the steal, Ray Allen was about to go down, and Szczerbiak's all-out pursuit did not prevent him from receiving Shi Lei's pass.

After matching Odom, Shi Lei's passing improvement is now the most obvious, including the choice of angle and timing.

Away from Szczerbiak who was in hot pursuit, Ray Allen made a shot, and the point difference between the two sides was expanded to 10 points.
