Chapter 171 Finding Problems
For today's competition, Jiang Chaoxue was unable to come to the scene because he had to prepare some things for the opening of the new store.
"Go, go, go, finish the game early, I have to go to work." Ling Bo rubbed his fists in the locker room.
"Work?" James asked puzzled.
"Yeah, finish typing quickly, I'm going to the store to help."
Boozer said with a smirk, "Help, I think I'm going on a date."
"You are smart, you know everything." Ling Bo gave Boozer a blank look.
"Be smart about hitting Lewis."
"I know, Tim Duncan is standing in front of me now, and I can hold him down," Boozer said thick-faced.
"Tch, when you were playing against the Spurs, you were still the head of the cheerleading squad. You didn't see Duncan's strength before you dared to shout like that." James said contemptuously.
"Hey, if you don't tell the truth, you are still a good friend. Just brag about it, so I have more confidence." Boozer hooked James' shoulder and said with a smile.
Coming to the arena, there are countless spectators who are looking forward to it.The starting list for tonight's game was given on the big screen at the scene.
Cavaliers: Limbo, Ira Nubell, LeBron James, Carlos Boozer, Ilgauskas.
Seattle SuperSonics: Ronald Murray, Ray Allen, Vladmir Radmanovic, Rashad Lewis, Vitali Potapenko.
The game officially started, James missed his first shot, and the Sonics switched offense.
The Supersonic's first wave of offense was handed over to Gentleman Ray, which shows his status in the team. However, Ray Allen didn't make a shot himself, and gave it to Lewis on the inside.
"Hold him down," James said to Boozer as he ran.
"Let me familiarize myself with his routine first," Boozer said.
Ling Bo dribbled the ball across the field, Boozer got into position and asked for the ball.
I heard that Lewis' defense is very poor. He can defend the shooter power forward, but he can't defend the power forward who is good at moving and attacking. Boozer is between the two.
If it is a shooter type, he does have good mid-range ability. If it is a mobile type, Boozer can also hit a breakthrough layup, and he can even attack under the basket.
Back-up singles, Boozer hit twice, I don't know if he stole Limbo's tricks, Boozer dribbled the ball with his right hand, and the range was very wide, tricking Lewis to the right, and the right hand quickly Dribble the ball to the left, take advantage of the momentum to break through, and complete the dunk.
Boozer looked towards James and lost a smug look, which means how is the ball?
James gave a thumbs up, and Ling Bo even smiled and said, "It's a bit of a defender."
The Supersonics counterattacked, but the speed was not fast. After a few passes, the basketball was still controlled by Ray Allen, and finally a three-pointer broke the situation.
As the No.96 of the 5 golden generation and the champion of the three-point contest, Ray Allen has excellent shooting ability, and his dunks are also good. He once participated in the dunk contest, won No.3, and lost to Kobe.
It is difficult for Ira Newbell to restrain the gentleman Ray, which leads to Ray Allen not only becoming the team's scorer, but also needs to organize the offense for the team, because the point guard Murray has been taken by Limbo Restricted to death.
This is the case, when Limbo missed a shot, Vitali grabbed the rebound, and Ray Allen organized a counterattack, assisting Lewis with an all-in dunk.
In the next few rounds, Ray Allen and Lewis passed the ball to each other, and Lewis' shooting rate in the interior was still good. The Supersonics actually seemed to suppress the Cavaliers.
Halfway through the first quarter, the Cavaliers didn't feel good, and the Sonics led by 13 points 9 to 4.
Head coach Paul Silas signaled for Limbo to call a timeout from the sidelines.
The reason why Ling Bo didn't control the situation on the court, apart from the problem of hand feel, was that Ling Bo knew too little about Ray Allen and Rashard Lewis, didn't know their strengths and weaknesses, and didn't carry out targeted defense.
Limbo didn't understand, but someone on the team did. Before the timeout was called, Mark Osorsky and Paul Silas discussed for a long time.
"Let me introduce the characteristics of Ray Allen and Rashad Lewis." Paul Silas said, "Incomparably accurate shooting, skilled and elegant techniques, handsome and outstanding appearance, kind and gentle personality , all of which characterize a unique gentleman shooter Ray Allen. The musketeer left the Milwaukee Bucks to continue his hunting career in the Seattle SuperSonics.
He is the initiator of the offense, so the next defense is very simple, LeBron, you go to defend Ray Allen, you have the advantage of height and size, and his explosive speed is not fast, you can keep up, try not to let him The ball is passed inside. "
James nodded and said, "Understood."
"Ling, you still cut off their point guard and get a few more steals from him."
"Rashard Lewis is also a shooter. When defending him, Carlos, don't give him rebounds, don't let him shoot easily." Paul Silas continued, "His defense is even on the outside. It’s not a talk that you can’t prevent it, so Carlos, you have to reduce your offense at the basket, move as much as possible and then shoot.”
Carlos Boozer said: "So easy? Why didn't we think of it."
Ling Bo said: "We know too little about our opponents. The streak of victories during this period has made us relax our vigilance against our opponents. We didn't understand them in advance and discuss countermeasures."
Everything has two sides. It is gratifying to have a winning streak, but it is also easy to breed pride and complacency. Sometimes this kind of emotion does not show up, or even if someone shows it, everyone takes it for granted. We have been winning streak .
The last nine consecutive victories were severely beaten by the Spurs. This time they won six consecutive victories, fortunately they discovered the problem in time and were able to correct it in time.
Be it martial arts in the rivers and lakes, battlefields, or sports arenas such as basketball and football, any behavior that despises the opponent will pay a heavy price.
This was the case with the Cavaliers before the game. Many teammates felt that we had won six consecutive victories, but we were sixth in the Eastern Conference. Isn’t it easy to beat the Seattle Supersonics, which is the third last in the Western Conference, so no one prepared before the game , No one told each other how to defend, including Limbo and James.
"It's a good thing to find a problem. The scary thing is that you are still immersed in it. If you don't encounter difficulties, maybe someone else brings it up, and some people are still unwilling to admit it." Mark Osorsky said.
"Well, Coach Mark, we know what to do," Carlos Boozer said.
"Go ahead, the victory belongs to us, it belongs to the Cleveland Cavaliers."
