The Basketball Court Swordsman

Chapter 538: : The Unknown

Tyron Lue, this guy was a well-known professional player before he became the head coach.

Of course, don't think how good this guy is as a professional player. In a season with the highest profile in his career, Tyronn Lue averaged only 11 points and 3 assists per game. Throughout his career as a professional player, he averaged 8.5 points and 3.1 assists per game, which obviously has nothing to do with the word "star".

The reason why this guy is known to everyone is mainly because of Alan Iverson's aggressiveness. Like Jaylen Rose, Tyronn Lue is one of the most famous background boards in NBA history.

As a point guard, Tyronn Lue certainly has tactical training. But if you say that Tyron Lue is a master tactician, that's obviously far-fetched.

The main reason why he can coach in the Cavaliers so well and win the championship is that Tyronn Lue knows how to play LeBron James to the fullest.

This guy has worked with many superstars. From O'Neal, Kobe to Yao Ming, Tyronn Lu knows that handing the ball to the best players is a tactic in itself.

He knows how to get along with superstars, so the Cavaliers locker room has never had a problem.

But tactically, Tyronn Lue's performance is very average. In many cases, even LeBron James is arranging the tactics himself.

Therefore, Henson believes that in the last two minutes of the game, the Cavaliers are unlikely to come back. Because of Tyronn Lu. It's not the kind of coach with outstanding commanding ability on the spot.

"Brogden scored five points in a row. His appearance tilted the balance of victory. I believe that neither LeBron nor the Cavaliers want to see the outcome of this crucial battle because of an unknown person. They definitely The defense against Brogdon will be strengthened, and coach Henson’s surprise soldiers will no longer get a chance to score."

Until now, Kenny Smith and LeBron still believe that the Cavaliers have a chance to win. But in fact, the moment Henson put Brogdon on the field, they had already begun to perish.

After the timeout came back, the Cavaliers' first offense, James' breakthrough layup was hit by George's interference.

James wanted to score too much, and George seized this mentality and deliberately let James a distance to defend his breakthrough.

At the end of the game, James' physical fitness was not as strong as it was at the beginning of the game. Facing one of the best defensive wings in the league, James' offense is naturally unlikely to succeed every time.

The point difference is still 1 point, and the Cavaliers must do a good job of defense in order to win the game.

Sure enough, Shumpert guarded Brogdon strictly! Before the game began, the Cavaliers would never have imagined that a mere second-round pick that averaged only double digits per game would attract so much defensive attention.

When the Cavaliers' defensive attention was restricted by Brogdon, Antetokounmpo and Paul George had more opportunities.

Antetokounmpo first broke through Tristan Thompson with the ball on the perimeter. This guy Thompson's ability to protect the frame is just average. Followed out to defend Antetokounmpo, he couldn't.

With two big strides, Antetokounmpo cleared Thompson. Earlier today, Antetokounmpo always met the Cavaliers' timely help. This time was no exception. Seeing Antetokounmpo leaning on Thompson to kill in, Kevin Love immediately dropped Lopez and rushed to the basket.

The Cavaliers' strategy is very clear, and that is to force Antetokounmpo to pass. Even if Lopez is temporarily missed, Love still has a chance to make it up. After all, Lopez's shot preparation time is very long.

But if you don't help defend Antetokounmpo, two points can be lost.

Seeing that Love came up to defend, Antetokounmpo passed the ball as expected. But unlike what the Cavaliers expected, Antetokounmpo's pass was not Lopez, but Brogdon who cut in from the middle!

"When did Brogdon cut in!? Love stayed at the basket. What would Brogdon do in the face of Love's defense?"

Forced layup? That's not Brogdon's style. After receiving the ball, he touched the ball with one hand and threw the ball to Brook Lopez who was lying in the corner.

Brogdon can make the Pacers' offense more lubricated, which is not an empty compliment.

The ball passed Brogdon, completely disrupting Love's defensive sequence. He should have made up for Lopez the moment Antetokounmpo passed the ball, but now Lopez is about to shoot, but he is still standing at the basket.

Lopez will not waste such an opportunity. In the Pacers this season, Lopez has greatly reduced the number of low-post singles. After all, he is not the Pacers' number one scoring point. So this year, Lopez is the most three-point shooter on the offensive end.

Faced with this rare opportunity to prove himself, Lopez will naturally not give up. His shooting is very composed, not to mention that he is in an absolutely undefended position.

The basketball hits the net and the Pacers hit three points again! There are 1 minute and 18 seconds left in the game, and the team behind 4 points becomes the Cleveland Cavaliers!

Henson saw James covering his head with annoyed hands, and then gesticulated with Love. Presumably, James must be very dissatisfied with Love's defense just now.

1 minute 18 seconds lead 4 points, which is enough to give the Pacers an absolute advantage. What's more, it was still in the case that Tyronn Lu had not suspended for a long time.

The Cavaliers finally scored in the next offense, and James scored and assisted Irving for a half-stop. After this attack, James has scored his 13th assist in the game. His breakthrough points always help his teammates end the offense easily.

But the Cavaliers' goal came too late, because even if the goal was scored, the Pacers still had a two-point lead. And this advantage is likely to continue to expand with the Pacers' offense.

Henson stood on the sidelines again and pressed his hands down. There is no doubt that it is reminding the players to suppress the rhythm. What should be anxious now is the Cavaliers, the Pacers will try their best to use all 24 seconds.

LeBron James and Tristan Thompson are ready, after all, they are facing the Pacers' top two scorers this season.

Of course, Kevin Love did not dare to be too far away from Lopez. His mistakes on the defensive end just now made LeBron a little unhappy.

After passing the midfield line, Paul didn't move forward. He stared at the timer on the backboard and watched the passage of time.

Irving wanted to step forward to steal, but was afraid of fouls. Although 31 years old, Paul is still one of the best ball handlers in the league.

Just when the offensive time was about to run out with 8 seconds left, Lopez suddenly came up and set up a screen for Paul. The Cavaliers are waiting, they know the Pacers are about to start their last offense.

Paul took advantage of the cover to break through, Antetokounmpo cut inside, and Paul George ran directly to the outside. The Cavaliers couldn't see who was at the final point for a while, only passively following defense.

But in this, Iman Shumpert is undoubtedly the most relaxed person among them. Because from beginning to end, Brogdon just stood in place, not even moving.

Just when Shumpert was thinking about whether to help defend George or Paul, Brogdon suddenly ran!

Shumpert was still careful, and he was half a beat slower, but the reaction speed was fairly fast. But as soon as he turned around, he collided with Antetokounmpo full of arms.

"Oh." Shumpert was shocked, knowing that something was wrong. Paul then played the ball. As a master of the field, his pass is always just right, neither slow nor early.

The most critical offense for the Pacers, the tactics were actually arranged for the second round show of Brogdon! Super scorer Paul George, Paul, one of the league's strongest point guards, and Antetokounmpo, known as the strongest small forward after James, all stepped aside.

Brogdon, this little-known guy, got the chance to kill the Cleveland Cavaliers himself!

Henson couldn't help standing up. To be precise, the fans in the entire Bankers Life Arena stood up. Malcolm Brogdon, this second round show became the only focus at this time.

After catching the ball, Brogdon was calm and calm, without changing his face. Even though Tristan Thompson switched defenses, Brogdon did not frown. It was Thompson's winning streak, full of fear and anxiety.

"Goodbye, baby." Brogdon muttered, pushing the basketball out with the softest touch.

When James looked up at the basketball, he also happened to see the three championship pennants above the dome of the Banker’s Life Arena. Those three pennants were all obtained by the Pacers stepping on the Heat's body. Today, he originally wanted to come for revenge...

"brush!"

"Goal in, cool shot! Malcolm Brogdon, his three-pointer completely killed the game. It's over, the game is over. Without a timeout, it was 5 points behind in the last 22 seconds. . Believe me, Henson Joe’s team can’t let victory flow from their fingers!"

With the impassioned roar of the narrator, Henson raised his arms. LeBron James lowered his head in annoyance.

As for Brogdon? He has become the object of adoration by all fans. Before today, he was an unknown person loved by Nash.

But after today, Henson believed that he was never anymore.
