Chapter 656

Blatter's control of the Cavaliers is indeed somewhat insufficient.

Before coming to the Cavaliers, he received the task of cultivating new players and rebuilding the Cleveland Cavaliers' tactical system and winning culture from the ground up.

Unexpectedly, so many things happened in the summer, the goal of the Cavaliers quickly became to compete for the championship.

From a team coach, Blatter needs to transform into a superstar nanny coach, which is certainly not easy for him.

James has always "brought his own system". He has a set of tactics he likes, which suits him best and can play his role the most.

This is a big difference between James and Li Liang.

When Blatter knew that Li Liang and James were coming, he was still very happy.

In David Blatt's heart, Li Liang can definitely become a perfect team player.

Unexpectedly, Li Liang left in the end and got Paul George in exchange for Paul George. George was in the rising stage of his personal ability, and he only served James alone in the team, and he didn't care much about the coach's many tactical arrangements.

The Cavaliers played so badly at the beginning of the season, mainly due to the problem of running-in, and the focus of running-in is whether the team plays around the coach's tactics, or around the star's ability and habits.

The answer is obvious, the star is the foundation of a team, let alone James.

In the first half, the Cavaliers and the Pacers were originally evenly divided, but because of the final substitution and problems with the defensive strategy, Li Lianglai scored a wave of scoring explosions. The score at the end of the half was 59:50, and the Cavaliers fell behind by 9 point.

And Randall was taught several times by Li Liang in the two minutes or so on the court, and when he came off the court at halftime, he was numb.

Really numb, was thrown two consecutive three-pointers on the head, was intercepted, and was fouled.

Randall felt that he was on the court, and Li Liang was not in the same dimension, as if he was a player in two worlds.

He was in the two-dimensional world, while Li Liang was in the three-dimensional world, and he was crushed flat with one kick.

Li Liang has been bullying Kentucky alumni in the league for not a day or two.

He coaxed and lied to Brother Nongmei, and made him foul Cousins. Every time he played against Li Liang's team, Cousins ​​didn't get a T or was sent off. It felt like the game was for nothing.

There are also Wall, Knight and others. In the summer of 2015, if he wants to convene the Kentucky alumni training camp again, I am afraid it will not be so easy.

It's a bad reputation.

Randall has also entered the list of victims now. He was cut off by eight points in more than two minutes, and he is not well.

And Li Liang only thought about one thing during the intermission, how would he explain it to Zhu Shu then?

He paid more attention to this matter than to the game itself.

It doesn't matter, let's finish the game first, and then say it's a crash therapy, and it's over.

It's a big deal to go home and kneel down on the durian for a while, what can this be called.

...

Intermission is over and the second half begins.

At the beginning, Li Liang and McGee made a double screen for George Hill, and then Hill returned the ball to Li Liang.

Li Liang made a mid-range jump shot...and missed...

Li Liang is good at three-point practice, but not at mid-range.

If he wants to shoot mid-range accurately, he must use [Cassel's Smile].

It's just that this skill can only be used at critical moments.

Seeing Li Liangzhong's lack of range, Byrd thought that this guy was not as good as me in some ways.

Later, James held the ball on the offensive end, dribbled the ball to the corner, and suddenly stopped and made a jumper, but he missed.

After the start of the third quarter, the leading figures on both sides started with iron strikes, which seemed to indicate that neither side would score too high in the second half.

The Cavaliers' defense was not very good at the beginning of the season, so that they often lost by big scores, allowing their opponents to score more than 110 points.

After running-in and adjustments, the Cavaliers' defensive system with Paul George as the core is gradually being built.

The biggest feature of the Cavaliers' defense, and it has been their consistent feature in the past, is thick.

The Cavaliers' starting lineup, insiders Mahinmi and Thompson, has a very strong ability to protect the basket.

James and George are two big strikers on the outside, and they are very oppressive.

This is different from when James was in the Heat. The Heat's perimeter defense was extremely strong, but the reason was that their interior defense was very thin and the perimeter had to be strong.

The Cavaliers are different. The Cavaliers have a thick inside line, which makes the Cavaliers' outside defense more resilient and sustainable.

After the start of the third quarter, the Pacers' offense was lost under the Cavaliers' high-intensity defense.

On the contrary, the Cavaliers once again relied on Irving's sharp knife to chase points.

Now the Cavaliers are beginning to make the most of the personal abilities of the Big Three on the outside in their offense.

All kinds of pick-and-rolls and singles are aimed at the Pacers' man-to-man defense.

And they are very careful when fighting - to avoid Li Liang.

In order to prevent Li Liang's defense from taking effect, James also acted as a "bait" to lure Li Liang away.

Then pulled away to let George and Irving play singles.

This move worked very well. In the third quarter, the Cavaliers beat the Pacers 12:5.

Halfway through the third quarter, the score was very low, but the Cavaliers slowly made up for the 9-point difference to only 2 points.

Bird called a timeout in the middle, but it didn't work very well.

Both Granger and JR-Smith lost a certain degree of offensive end, missing consecutive three-pointers.

Not to mention Li Liang, who was heavily guarded, and on the defensive end Li Liang was very uncomfortable being mobilized.

He really wanted to switch to Irving. After the third quarter, Irving had already scored 8 points.

But Owen just avoided Li Liang to fight, and it was McGee who switched defenses, so he played big.

Don't switch defenses, use speed and dribble to go to George Hill.

Hill's defense against Irving tonight was mediocre, and I feel that he is not in a good state.

The score came to 64:62, the Pacers still led by two points, and the game entered an official timeout.

In fact, the Cavaliers also feel that the game is difficult to play.

In the third quarter of the previous game, as long as the Cavaliers exert their strength on the defensive end, and Irving, George, and James use their personal abilities to score consecutively on the offensive end, the score will be opened quickly.

However, although the Pacers were pressed every step of the way, they were able to maintain the advantage of two or three points, holding the Cavaliers in the water and unable to get out.

Under the strict defense of the Cavaliers, Li Liang still hit a three-pointer.

Both sides feel that the opponent is strong and difficult to deal with.

Both sides need to grit their teeth and persevere.

The Cavaliers made one adjustment, replacing Mahinmi with Mozgov.

This adjustment took effect quickly. James broke through the middle, Mozgov went down, James threw a high throw to Mozgov, and Mozgov made an alley-oop dunk.

This ball McGee came to make up for James, but Mozgov was missed.

But you can't blame McGee, he didn't come to make up the defense, and James killed the basket with a dunk.

Li Liang still couldn't keep up with James.

The two sides drew 64:64.

Then, CJ-Myers made a three-pointer from the left, and the ball bounced twice on the basket, but it was a pity that he missed.

Li Liang tried his best to grab the offensive rebound, but the ball was still won by the Cavaliers.

James held the ball in the same number of ways as before, and Mozgov came to pick and roll in the middle.

It's just that this time Mozgov didn't go down and left the basket empty to James.

James went to the basket to face McGee's defense, and made a dunk from another person!

McGee was hit in the face by James, 64:66, the Cavaliers overtook!

It's a disgrace for any center to be dunked like this.

McGee looked resentful, Li Liang came over and patted McGee, and asked, "Will you choose defense later?"

McGee nodded, "Of course."

"That's good."

Li Liang immediately fought back on the offensive end. After holding the ball from outside, he used the skill of [Wanfo Chaozong] to directly worship Buddha and pass Paul George. He went to the basket and threw a high throw to McGee. The relay split is successful!

66:66, a tie.

Immediately afterwards, James wanted to play the high pick-and-roll trick for the third time.

This time Li Liang went around and stuck close to James, and activated [Death Coil] the moment James hit the basket!

James froze, but because of the activation, he still protected the ball.

As a result, during the layup in the air, McGee, who was defended from the side, slapped him with a big hat!

CJ-Myers got the ball and counterattacked quickly. Li Liang quickly went down the middle and received a long pass from Myers.

A fake move at the basket swayed Paul George away, another fake move flew Mozgov, and then turned around and hit the ground to pass to McGee who followed up. McGee caught the ball and took off, dunking with both hands!

McGee's consecutive dunks, blocks, and dunks pushed the atmosphere of the Conseco Arena to a climax.

Li Liang and McGee clapped hands vigorously, and McGee said to Li Liang, "Bruce, I have the answer to the question just now!"

"What?"

"You asked me whether to change the box, and I told you I would not change it. I don't care how much I get. If I choose, I will stick to it."
