The Godfather of Basketball

Battier took several deep breaths on the spot after being pulled up.

To make James' offensive foul is not only a matter of skill, but also a matter of courage.

Don't underestimate that kind of impact, that is to say, professional players, if ordinary people either break their ribs or be directly knocked out.

The scene also cheered and applauded Battier's courage.

In fact, this has greatly improved the morale of the Cavaliers team.

One offensive rebound, one offensive foul.

James didn't get off to a good start.

"Come on! Cavaliers!"

James didn't play well, and the emotions of the fans on the scene were high. At this moment, the Cavaliers' offensive round, the cheers on the scene were already deafening.

Paul handed the ball to Yao Ming in the low post. Yao Ming's back-up singles attracted James' double-team. With a fake turn and hook, the moment the ball was released, it was directly converted into a pass and passed to Butler who made an air cut.

Butler took the ball and jumped up to dunk.

James turned around at this moment and pushed him down directly.

The referee called a scrimmage.

James jumped to win the scrimmage and win the ball for the Suns.

Nash advanced to the frontcourt with the ball, and James directly asked for the ball in the low post.

Butler sank his center of gravity, but James was too strong, and after a few pushes, he turned around and scored a layup.

James' strength is already top-notch, and after Tang Tian's training in the past two years, he is already the real No. 1 player in the league.

His previous performance was not as good as Paul's, and it was more because the lockout status has not been found. Now that the season is over halfway, and he is suffocating again, Butler is at an absolute disadvantage against him.

The Cavaliers' offense, Paul picked and rolled the ball, and Green got an open shot from the bottom corner.

But at this moment, James flew at full speed.

"boom!"

Green's three-pointer missed and Gortat received a defensive rebound.

The Suns attacked the frontcourt, Nash and James returned the ball directly after the pick-and-roll, and James caught the ball at the top of the circle and hit a three-pointer.

After a sluggish start, James scored 5 points in a row.

The offense has no dead ends, and the defense has full coverage. James, who has been evolved by Tang Tian, ​​​​has no solution under his full strength.

"Chris, the success rate!"

Tang Tian stood up from the bench at this time, and made a singles tactical gesture to Paul at position 1.

If possible, he definitely hopes that James is a member of his team, but now that he has become an opponent, what he has to do is to beat the opponent.

After Paul went to the frontcourt to signal the space to open up, he directly chose to play Nash in frontal singles.

Nash's offense is historic, but his defense is also historically worst.

It is even said that Nash is already at the end of his career.

Paul's continuous shaking has made Nash unable to keep up with the rhythm.

A speed change breakthrough made an emergency stop, and Nash was directly shaken clean.

"Shua!"

Paul's mid-range goal.

4 to 5, the Cavaliers bite the score.

The Suns' offense, Nash dribbled to the frontcourt.

At this moment, Tang Tian, ​​who was standing on the sidelines, made another tactical gesture.

With Nash and James' pick-and-roll, the Cavaliers directly shrunk their defense.

Nash gave the ball to Frye on the weak side, and Frye made a three-pointer.

"boom!"

The Cavaliers' lineup of one team and four teams rotated quickly on the defensive end. When Frye made a shot, he was interfered by Green and missed.

Yao Ming received the defensive rebound.

Like the Heat's fight against the Cavaliers before, what Tang Tian did first was to force the shooting power from the Suns' dual cores to the role players.

Paul took the ball to the frontcourt, still eating Nash one-on-one, this time causing Nash's thug foul.

After two free throws, the Cavaliers lead the score 6-5.

In his previous life, and even now, most people know Paul as the traditional point guard who ranks first in assists.

But in fact, Injury Paul is much more than that.

Or in other words, he's the kind of star who can switch between scoring mode and assisting mode at will.

If Tang Tian wants him to attack, he can attack thoroughly for you to see.

The average of 27.8 points per game at the beginning of this season is a proof. If this score is maintained until the end of the season, it may be the scoring leader.

The Suns' dual-core pick-and-roll once again encountered a shrinking defense, and Nash gave the ball to Dudley.

Compared to Paul, Nash is the extreme pass-first point guard.

Butler's assisted defense was very fast, and he flew up to interfere before Dudley made a shot.

"boom!"

Dudley's three-pointer also missed.

In terms of open three-pointers, whether it is Dudley or Frye, they are far inferior to Green and Battier.

Otherwise, Frye wouldn't be abandoned by Tang Tian in the playoffs. Defense is one aspect, and certainty is also a very important reason.

Butler got the long rebound, turned around and pushed for a fast break, and Paul also followed up the double line and quickly went down.

The rest of the Suns couldn't defend well. Only James reacted against the sky and turned around abruptly to retreat.

Butler and Paul rushed across the midfield to a 2-on-1 upcourt.

James maintains the center line position, even if it is 1 defense and 2 defenses, he has the confidence to defend it.

Paul's dribble to the free throw line, a false layup with three misses, directly passed the ball to Butler.

James' physical fitness is against the sky, blocking Paul's shooting space, turning around and standing on Butler's breakthrough route.

Butler learned smart this time, instead of dunking, he chose a direct high throw.

James jumped high and wanted to block the shot directly.

But for this ball, he defended 1 and defended 2. This ball was a retreat, and the height of the jump was not enough.

The ball crashed past his fingertips toward the hoop.

"boom!"

The ball bounced into the basket after hitting the backboard.

James landed and shook his head after seeing the goal.

It's just less than a centimeter away.

So angry!

After Butler landed, he yelled excitedly.

A rookie, facing the league's number one James and scoring a goal, this feeling is really exciting!

Even though he was Butler, he couldn't hold back the excitement.

Paul also nodded excitedly at this time, and came to give Butler a high-five.

James was on the side, and this familiar scene made him frown.

Once upon a time, this was a signature move between him and the Paul brothers.

In the frontcourt, he directly leaned against Butler in the low post on the right wing, and then reached out to signal Nash to give the ball.

After being defended twice in a row, James wanted to use his personal ability to directly solve the problem.

Tang Tian directly signaled Green to double-team.

Since James wants to attack, he cannot be allowed to attack comfortably.

Dudley had already taken a good position on the outside line, but James didn't intend to pass the ball. He directly slammed against Butler. After seeing Green's double-team, he turned around and took three big steps, and directly bowed towards the overlord under the basket.

But before he could make a layup, Butler pulled him hard, didn't give him a chance to get up, and sent him directly to the free throw line.

At this moment, Tang Tian called Artest and Carter up and asked them to replace Battier and Butler.
