Chapter 287
Chapter 281

The Cavaliers adopted the defensive tactics of zone defense, while the Knicks continued to use their usual man-to-man tactics in the regular season.

It is mainly the Knicks' top five generals on the field. Everyone's single-defense strength is quite strong. Needless to say, Rondo started his career by relying on organization and defense. Lei Feng's defense, this season's DPOY selection, was the last The number of votes he received ranked fourth, which is enough to show that his defensive strength is quite good. In terms of defensive strength, there are only two players who can be stronger than Lei Feng in the small forward position in the league today.

Needless to say, the Knicks' inside twin stars have defensive strength, especially Gobert, who is the real inside defensive gate.

The only one who is weaker is Anthony, but Anthony's misplaced defense of JR Smith, who is one size smaller than him, is not a big problem.

Besides, Anthony's defense may not be bad, it's just that he didn't work very hard on the field before, and now it's time to stare, and his defensive strength has also improved a lot.

Under such circumstances, man-to-man tactics are more in line with the Knicks.

It is worth mentioning that with the start of the Eastern Conference finals, some honors in the regular season have all been settled!

This season's best head coach honor was easily won by Fisher. Although the Warriors' head coach Cole has led the team even better this season, you must know that Fisher has brought the Knicks from 22 wins to 63 wins, in terms of difficulty, no less than Cole.

What's more, Cole has won the honor of the best head coach last season, and it's time to change hands this season.

……

The honor of the best sixth man was won by Lei Feng. There is no suspense. Lei Feng's average data this season is definitely the best sixth man even in history.

……

The best rookie, Porzingis lost to Towns in the final selection, but the gap in the number of votes won was not too large. Many people are very optimistic about Porzingis' future, and they know why Porzingis The statistics are not as good as Downs, and that's only because the Knicks can't give him so many performance opportunities. Unlike the Timberwolves, Towns is regarded as the absolute core to be cultivated.

The MVP of the regular season, Lei Feng also lost to Curry. In the final vote, Curry won about 7% of the votes, and Lei Feng got about [-]% of the votes.

There is no problem of racial discrimination. The reason why Lei Feng has so few votes is purely because Curry led the team to play an extremely crazy season this season. Four hundred and three in a single season are unprecedented!
Although he missed the MVP of the regular season, Lei Feng was not dissatisfied. Being able to get No.2 in the MVP selection of the regular season was already a remarkable achievement for a rookie.

In addition to the regular season MVP, in the selection of the best defensive player DPOY, Lei Feng also got the fourth most votes!

Similarly, this can be regarded as a proud achievement, truly representing Lei Feng's defensive strength!

DPOY's best defensive player, the [-] good guy points rewarded, plus the good guy points left over from the previous upgrade system, Lei Feng took out [-] to upgrade the rebounding idiot professional proficiency!
The upgraded professional proficiency has increased Lei Feng's ability to grab offensive rebounds. This is also an important reason why Lei Feng was able to average so many rebounds per game in the previous game against Lukai!

It can be said that today's Lei Feng is really an all-round fighter. Whether it is offensive, rebounding or defensive, Lei Feng can currently rank among the top few in the league.

……

After Rondo took control of the ball to the frontcourt, he passed the ball directly to Lei Feng. Lei Feng originally wanted to try James singles, but seeing Anthony's eagerness to try, he dismissed this idea.

He is very clear that if he wants to beat James on the offensive end, there is basically no such possibility, unless James himself gives up his defense and completely lets Lei Feng's attack...

He made an offensive gesture to Anthony, Anthony understood, and rushed towards Lei Feng directly. JR Smith, who was also defending Anthony, did not dare to slack off and followed Anthony's footsteps.

After Anthony arrived, Lei Feng immediately transferred the ball to Anthony's hands, and then made a high pick-and-roll for Anthony to help him block JR Smith's follow-up defense.

Anthony did not hesitate, and shot a three-pointer directly behind Lei Feng.

With a sound of "Shua!", the Knicks made a clear three-pointer and scored a good start!

"Great job, MELO, I feel good today!" Lei Feng said with a smile.

"That's natural, the feeling is overwhelming!" After Anthony hit the first three-pointer, his confidence increased greatly.

In the next offensive round of the Cavaliers, Irving also immediately returned the color. Under Rondo's defense, he directly returned a fairy three-pointer!

"Can you get in here?!"

"This luck is against the sky!"

"Owen, the king of fairy balls, really deserves his reputation!"

Seeing that Irving moved laterally in this shot, the fans were stunned that he could still make a hit under such circumstances.

Rondo waved his hand angrily, feeling very upset. He thought he had defended the ball well just now. Under such circumstances, he was still hit by Owen, which is really helpless.

……

As the game continued, Lei Feng kept defending James tightly. On the one hand, he prevented James from taking the ball, and on the other hand, he prevented James from making a breakthrough. He knew that it was difficult for James to kill his opponent by shooting alone.

Anthony's touch is quite good in this game, not only his shooting rate is high, but also his ability to draw fouls has also increased significantly.

In just 3 minutes of the opening, Anthony has already walked to the free throw line twice and won four free throw opportunities!
Even Lei Feng felt that the home whistle was a bit obvious.

He couldn't help but think of what Fisher said back then, that the Knicks have such a big market, at least the league won't make it difficult for the Knicks on the whistle...

If the Knicks win the championship, the league can make more money than other teams, so if the Knicks can win the championship, the league has absolutely no reason to suppress it!

Of course, it is impossible for the league to be too obvious in this regard. At most, it can give some whistles at home. If it is an away game, it is likely that they will not be so partial to the Knicks.

Four free throws, Anthony made all four free throws, plus scoring in the sports game, Anthony scored 3 points in just 10 minutes. Such an offensive efficiency is terrifying!
On the Cavaliers' side, after Irving hit a fairy three-pointer, he made two more shots in three minutes, but his luck was not as good as the first shot. These two shots missed Rondo's defense. !

In the first 3 minutes, the Knicks directly played a big advantage 12 to 6.

James is obviously extremely dissatisfied with the current situation. First of all, it is Anthony's free throw problem. He is dissatisfied and appeals to the referee, with a hideous face...

But the referee didn't care about James' appeal and completely ignored it.

Anthony smiled happily. Seeing James deflated on him was so wonderful that it made people want to fly.

……

In these 3 minutes, Lei Feng only took one shot and missed a hit. It seems that he has not contributed much to the team, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that the reason why the Knicks can get this six-point lead is that Anthony In addition to the outbreak, Lei Feng also played a big role!

Because in these 3 minutes, James also didn't score a point!
Although he made more shots than Lei Feng, he only made two shots.

These two shots also hit the iron one after another.

It can be clearly seen that James is having a difficult life under Lei Feng's defense, even more difficult than Leonard or Iguodala defending him...

Lei Feng's physical strength is actually stronger than that of Leonard or Iguodala. James can't stand Lei Feng at all. It is extremely difficult to complete a complete set of breakthroughs in front of Lei Feng.

From the beginning to now, James has not tried to make a shot, so naturally he has not scored.

……

Fisher on the sidelines kept nodding, and was extremely satisfied with Lei Feng's performance!

Even if Lei Feng didn't score a single point in this game like it is now, as long as he can maintain this defensive strength, the value will definitely be stronger than his own score of [-] or [-] points!
Because the Knicks have a lot of attack points, as long as they can do a good job of defense, the Knicks actually have no shortage of offensive firepower, so even if Lei Feng does not make a shot, it will have an impact on the Knicks' offensive firepower, but the impact will not be too great.

And if James can be completely locked, then Fisher has full confidence that he can eliminate the Cavaliers in this round of the series!
And, in fact, it’s not just Fisher who thinks this way, the head coaches of all teams in the league know this truth. History has proved that when playing against the Cavaliers, as long as they can guard against James well, the team can finally win the final victory. victories, such as the previous Green Kai, Spurs and Warriors!
But even if they know this truth, they can't do anything about it. After all, in today's league, there are only a few players who are not at such a disadvantage in defending James.

Fisher is very fortunate that Lei Feng in their team is one of them!
Who would have thought that this Chinese boy who was "picked up" by himself back then could grow to the point where he is today!

Halfway through the first quarter, the Knicks finally widened the point difference to double digits, breaking double!

Tyronn Lue couldn't sit still and called a timeout. Such a situation was not what the Cavaliers envisioned. The situation they originally envisioned was that the two sides would be roughly even in the first three quarters, and then rely on James' personal ability in the last quarter And Owen's offensive ability, win the game!
But obviously, if they continue to play at this pace, it is unlikely that the Cavaliers will last until the end of the third quarter.

……

"LeBron, I'm going to change the lineup, replace Thompson and replace Channing Frye, so as to increase our offensive firepower on the court and start focusing on three-point tactics!" Grandpa Lu asked James embarrassingly.

Obviously, Grandpa Lu's current tactic is the most suitable for the Cavaliers to chase points. The point difference is as high as 11 points. If they play step by step, they can only hope that the Knicks' main offensive point will be upset. Otherwise, it will be difficult to catch up with this point difference. .

And if they replace the Eight Sage Kings with Channing Frye, who has excellent three-point ability, they still have a chance to fight!

Moreover, the Eight Sage Kings really can't play a big role on the court. He is best at rebounding and defense, but in front of Gobert, his rebounding can't play a big role at all, let alone Gobert. Bert, now in half a quarter of the game, the Eight Sage Kings only scored two rebounds, no points, no assists, no blocks and no steals...

Putting it on the field is really useless!
James nodded, and now he can only adopt Grandpa Lu's tactic...

……

Fisher saw Grandpa Lu called a timeout, and saw Channing Fry stand up, as if he meant to appear on stage.

Immediately, he began to arrange his own tactics with confidence!
"Rajon, take a break first and prepare to come on stage with a substitute lineup at the end of this quarter!"

"RAY, you continue to play the point guard position!"

"Chandler, you replace Rajon!"

After some arrangement, except for Lei Feng playing the position of point guard, and Parsons replacing Rondo, the positions of others have not changed!

……

When the short timeout ended, the fans gasped.

Judging from the lineup of the two sides, it is obvious that they are going to fight against each other...

Both sides took down all the offensive shortcomings in their lineups and replaced them with offensive guards with knives on the bench!

Regardless of whether Parsons is willing to admit it or not, in the eyes of the fans, he is the guard with a knife next to Lei Feng or Anthony!
As for Channing Frye, the guard with a knife next to Emperor Zhan, they specially poached from the Magic this season, in order to deal with the current situation!

As a tall man with a height of 211 and close to seven feet, Channing Frye also has a three-point shooting rate close to [-]%, and will undoubtedly be a very powerful assistant for James.

As soon as the game started, Foley received an outside pass from James, hit a three-pointer, and began to recover the point difference.

Porzingis raised his finger, indicating that it was his fault. His defense just now was a bit out of place, and the veteran Frye found an opportunity.

Next, the two sides seemed to enter a three-point battle.

All five players on the Cavaliers field are capable of three-pointers. Three-pointers follow one after another. Even James is relentless, abandoning the offensive means of breakthroughs and focusing on shooting with his teammates...

On the Knicks side, Gobert does not have the three-point ability, but the defense is tough, and Love's outside shooting effect alone is not bad.

When the first quarter hit the 10th minute, the Knicks were probably still leading by about ten points!
The Cavaliers fans breathed a sigh of relief. What they fear most is that the Cavaliers will crash in the first quarter. In that case, the game will definitely be difficult to play. Now that Grandpa Lu has changed the lineup, the Cavaliers have gradually stabilized the situation. hit!
