The Cavaliers challenged the Blazers in an away game. The Cavaliers won 46-33 against the Blazers.
Shen Xiao took the tactical board from Thibodu's hands and looked at the players who surrounded him. He encouraged them,"Hey, guys, you did well in the first quarter. Especially that three-pointer from Steve Nash."
"Of course, we are on the defensive side. Alonzo Mourning and Howard were good at restricting the opponent's inside line. He's good at blocking shots and rebounding."
"Shen, Mourning has already committed two fouls. Howard has also committed three fouls. Two fouls by Nash and one by Iguodala.”Tom Thibodeau stood at the side, holding the player's data in his hand and reminding him.
"Alenzo, how do you feel? Do you feel unwell?"
"Team doctor! The team doctor was going to check on Alenzo on the spot.”Shen Xiao deliberately put on an act and pointed at the medical staff accompanying the team.
"No need, coach. I feel good now. My body is great.”Mo Ning shook his head with a relaxed expression.
"Let the team doctor examine you.”
"Shen! Let me play. I want to contribute to the team.”
James sat on the bench for a full ten minutes. He recovered a little and suddenly looked up impatiently.
"Alright, alright. Howard, get off the field. You've fouled too many times. Gerrard, you go inside and play the 4 position. Mo Ning, go play number five."
"James, after you go on stage, be steady. First, he tried his best to play inside the paint and break through the opponent to make fouls.”Shen Xiao specially reminded James not to be impatient.
In the live broadcast studio, the sports reporter in front of the Central Five was also asking Weiping Bryant to guide him and explain the game.
"In the last three games, the Cavaliers 'style of play has changed. They didn't play positional warfare at all. Instead, they ran without the ball to cover and play fast attacks. Weiping Bryant said.
"Coach Zhang, do you think Coach Shen will let James play in the second quarter?”
" Yes, definitely. Generally speaking, the second quarter is a substitute rotation lineup, and the main players have to go off to rest…"
…………….
At the start of the second quarter, the players from both teams returned to the field.
In the commentator's seat beside the field.
ESPM's live commentator, Booker, wore a pair of headphones and watched James finally play. He sighed,""The little emperor has finally returned. It seemed that the consecutive back-to-back games had exhausted James 'stamina.”
"That's right, the first verse. LeBron James was 0 for 5 and 0 for 2 for three-pointers. It was a completely cold feeling.”
"The game has begun. We will continue to watch the Cavaliers challenge the Blazers in the away game.”
The Cavaliers attacked. Nash held the ball at the top of the arc and suddenly raised his right hand to pass the ball to James, who was standing in the top corner of the paint.
LeBron James carried the explosives and rushed inside. Under the defense of Zach Randolph and Rasheed Wallace, he forced himself to play inside. He suddenly did a fadeaway jump shot!
"Don't even think about it!" Rasheed suddenly jumped up and his fingertips touched the basketball, creating interference.
"Rebounds!" James did not hesitate to shout at his teammates.
Gerrard Wallace bent his knees, suddenly jumped up and stretched his long arms to catch the basketball.
Randolph immediately came from behind to defend, wanting to cut the ball. Mourning was standing beside Randolph, and while the referee's line of sight was blocked, he subconsciously elbowed Randolph in the chest.
The three of them were in a deadlock. Gerrard held the basketball tightly and formed a scramble!
Beep beep! The referee immediately blew his whistle and awarded a penalty for a scramble.
"F * ck! You damned black ghost." Randolph cursed at Mo Ning as he felt a dull pain in his chest.
"Welcome to the NBA!" Mo Ning arched his biceps fearlessly.
Di ~ Di!
When the referee saw this scene, he immediately stepped forward and pulled Randolph away. He made a T-sign and actually gave Randolph a technical foul!
"F * ck! Are you blind? He pushed me first."
Randolph immediately rushed forward and reasoned with the referee.
Dale Davis quickly ran over and held Randolph back, not letting him act rashly.
Following that, Mourning and Randolph fought for the ball at the free-throw line.
Mo Ning relied on his strong muscles to grab the ball in midair.
"Mo Ning, give me the ball!"
James took the initiative to ask for the ball from Mourning, and the two passed the ball hand-in-hand.
"Open up the space and let James play solo!”
Nash stood on the field and commanded. He shouted at the top of his lungs.
Then, all the players of the Cavaliers began to move to the outside line. The bottom corners of the two sides were 40 degrees above the arc.
James looked at Dale Davis with the ball and lowered his center of gravity to look at the timer. There were still 18 seconds left.
In a one-on-one fight, James swung his shoulders left and right as if he was going to break through to the left. He was going at top speed and instantly passed by a body position.
Randolph instantly ran over and opened his arms to defend.
This time, James did not covet credit. Instead, he passed the ball to Iguodala on the outside.
Iguodala received the ball and threw it without hesitation. The shooting time was only 0.9 seconds.
Swoosh! The ball grazed the net bag.
Stepping on the line, three points became two points for a long distance!
Changing the offense and defense, Randolph wanted to rush into the paint, but he was hit by Mourning's iron hat and sent flying.
James was the first to grab the backcourt rebound. He took a look and threw the ball out. It was a long pass!
The basketball flew past the half-court and fell at high speed. It hit the three-second zone and bounced back.
Three against one in the front field.
Nash received the ball, faced Jeff McGinnis, and passed the ball without looking behind him to Iguodala at the three-point line in the bottom corner.
A big empty seat.
Iguodala even had time to adjust his posture and breathing to chase after him.
Swoosh!
Hollow into the net, three points in.
Then, the Blazers became more and more impatient and began to desperately chase after the points. However, the more impatient he was, the more he couldn't throw in.
Instead, Gerrard Wallace grabbed three consecutive offensive rebounded, forming two counterattacks and the opportunity to enter the opponent's three-second zone.
Swoosh!
James made a mid-range jump shot and finally scored his first goal of the day.
The Cavaliers had more openings. James continued to carry the explosives and rushed inside, causing Rasheed Wallace to foul twice and get four free throws.
Clang!
Free throws, four, three.
Shen Xiao took advantage of the dead ball to bring Mo Williams on and let Nash rest.
To be honest, Nash had a hard time this time. They had to organize the offense and connect the entire team.
Changing between offense and defense, Mo Williams dribbled under his crotch outside the three-point line with a skillful dribbling rhythm.
The shooting guard, Bunchy Wales, who was misplaced with him, opened his arms and suddenly pressed forward to snatch the ball.
Williams changed his right hand to his left hand, controlled the ball with his left hand, and threw it toward Mourning in the paint.
"Ah!" Mourning roared and suddenly jumped. Quentin Woods, who was about to play a back-to-back solo, rushed to the basket.
Beep beep! The whistle sounded.
The referee pointed at Mourning, indicating an offensive foul.
Mourning was helpless. He threw the ball onto the backboard.
On the bench, Shen Xiao looked at Xibodu."The referee is very strict in this match.”
"That's right. The main reason was that both sides were angry.”Tom Thibodeau nodded.
"The Blazers are lagging behind. In the NBA, referees would not call for fouls. "The main thing is…" You Yin stopped halfway.
"The main reason is for the enjoyment of the competition.”
Shen Xiao continued with a confident and calm smile on his face.
…….……
As the second period ended, the whistle sounded.
On the scoreboard, the Cavaliers 61-48 Blazers. They were in the lead for the time being.
All the players walked to the locker room and into the players 'passageway.
In the second half of the second quarter, with James 'excellent performance, he scored nine points and three assists in a row. Only then did the score widen and maintain a two-digit difference.
