knife point guard

Chapter 340 [The Cavaliers are not decent]

The Knicks couldn't guard Shaquille O'Neal and LeBron James, and the Cavaliers couldn't guard Susie and the Knicks' inside shooters.

The gap between the two sides does not seem to be as big as the media talks about.

Both Isiah Thomas and Mike Brown are stuck in their game, they both believe in their system.

Mike Brown has faith.

Isaiah Thomas's faith is Suhi.

嘀!
As the whistle sounded, the second quarter of the game between the two sides continued.

Larry Brown is still saying some words on TV that the Cavaliers must win, but in fact the Cleveland fans in front of the TV prefer him to shut up.

Instead of causing any harm or worry to Knicks supporters, his remarks will make them more certain: Since Larry Brown said that the Knicks can't win, then what reason does the Knicks have to lose?

Although what he said makes sense, the more reasonable he says, the easier it will be for the Knicks to win.

Su Xi doesn't think so. He thinks everyone has played well enough.

Ilgauskas is the second tallest center in the league today. He is a great threat on the tactical end. He is a barrier when he stands there. After O'Neal arrived, his role became to provide James with a pick-and-roll, and then catch and shoot at the free throw line.

The game continues, with both sides coming and going.

The game continued, James entered the penalty area, and he completed a dunk under the cover of O'Neal.

Then, Su Xi hit a mid-range jumper.

Moreover, against Kobe, his physical advantage still exists.

Pat Riley did too much. He sent Shaquille O'Neal to the Cavaliers for free. The Cavaliers got O'Neal without breaking any bones and muscles, and got cheating reinforcements.

The Knicks' touch has declined slightly, but Suhi has added singles. Suhi's touch is very good tonight. It's a scary thing for a scorer who averages 40+ per game to have good hands.

Suhi scored an astonishing 30 points in the first half, half as many points as everyone else on the team.

This is the truth.

However, if you ask Su Xi whether he is confident in defeating the Cavaliers in the seven-game playoff system, Su Xi would at most say 50-50.

The Cavaliers gradually gained advantages by relying on higher offensive efficiency and secondary attacks at the basket. Although the progress was relatively slow, they were still opening up points.

If James is an iron-blooded player, he should stand up and face Su Xi. But, he didn't. He knew that he couldn't guard Su Xi, just like he knew that he couldn't guard Kobe.

To say that the Knicks' collapse is imminent, Suzy the Sheep's legendary career is about to take a turn for the worse at this point.

The Knicks players returned to the locker room, and everyone's mood was somewhat silent.

The two sides still form a balance of power.

There is no way to limit him.

And he thinks the Knicks still have a chance to win tonight.

The second quarter is over.

The Knicks did not show a strong counterattack.

Because the Knicks can't open in the penalty area, neither David Lee nor Channing Frye has this ability. Although Su Xi can penetrate the penalty area, he is from the outside after all.

The Cavaliers lead the Knicks by 65 points 60:5.

He is the reason!
He is the biggest reason in today's basketball world.

If it was Kobe Bryant who surged in scoring last season, then this season it is undoubtedly Su Xi who surged in scoring at a rocket-like speed!

No one from the Cavaliers stepped up to greet Soucy.

Compared to the self-criticism in the Knicks locker room, the atmosphere in the Cavaliers locker room is very relaxed. O'Neal is joking and a group of people are cheering. James is not a high-handed person in the locker room. He also likes to joke.

And Mike Brown's tactical system, as well as a group of role players.

Therefore, during the criticism and self-criticism session within the team, almost every player on the field said that they did not work hard enough and did not play well enough.

Yes, Su Xi thinks so.

Larry Brown was proud of himself on television, with his eloquent tirades.

When has Suzy the Goat ever reasoned with an opponent?

Coupled with LeBron James' strong attack.

O'Neal is also difficult to contain in the paint, and he is still at the tail end of his prime.

Suhi may be slightly inferior to Kobe in offensive skills and offensive intensity, but his offensive threat is far greater than Kobe. He has many other scoring methods, which are still the methods that James is most worried about.

With Suhi's touch and the state of other Knicks players tonight, Suhi has a good chance to continue this scoring momentum in the second half, and then he will very likely break his personal single-game scoring record.

If the Knicks fail in this game, it will certainly not be because of Jack. It's because I didn't play well enough.

Against Su Xi, his physical advantage is gone.

They felt very sad. What was sad was that they couldn't help Su Xi. They know very well how the Cavaliers will attack Suhi after winning. In everyone's opinion, Suhi is the greatest player in the league today.

beep.

Mike Brown has lamented many times: This is the most harmonious team atmosphere since I joined the Cavaliers.

If nothing else, just him and Ilgauskas forming a double center is abnormal enough.

James seemed to finally clear away the dark clouds hovering above his head, and he finally saw the sunshine.

If the Knicks are defeated in this game, the winning streak continues.

So for James, it is undoubtedly a window to come out of the water and breathe happily.

He had been waiting for this day for too long.

However, the surprise came earlier than the surprise he wanted.

Not long after the start of the second half, Ilgauskas suddenly stopped during a non-contact run. He bent down and held his ankle.

Cleveland quickly stopped the game. The Giants were most worried about their ankles or knees. They have huge bodies, and their joints bear more pressure than ordinary players.

Ilgauskas was helped off the field to rest.

Although he emphasized that he probably had only a slight twist, Mike Brown did not dare to be careless and quickly asked the team doctor to check him and then quickly helped him out.

When treating giants, we must cherish them even more.

The Lakers are doing this to Yao Ming now. They not only allow Yao Ming to lose weight and maintain flexibility, but also allow Yao Ming to make strategic adjustments every now and then. Yao Ming is rarely used in back-to-back games.

This is the difference between a team with a center background and a team eager for quick success. The Lakers know that good steel is used wisely. Moreover, Kobe is not comparable to some super outside superstars. He will not be jealous of Yao Ming for resting a few more games than him, let alone say that this is a team that he alone supports.

Ilgauskas rested, which is good news for the Knicks.

The Cavaliers replaced Ilgauskas with Gooden.

David Lee immediately geared up. David Lee couldn't defend Ilgauskas at 221, so he couldn't defend you Gooden?
At the same time, Su Xi also stood opposite James and took the initiative to defend LeBron James.

James' first attack was blocked by David Lee and Su Xi. James hurriedly passed the ball, but his passing intention was exposed relatively early. Su Xi made an accurate judgment. The moment James threw the ball, he also Then he galloped out and hit the basketball with his palm, causing the basketball to miss its trajectory.

Stephen Jackson was the first to grab the basketball. He passed a long pass to Su Xi. Su Xi rushed into the frontcourt with the ball. He entered the penalty area and made a fake layup. James took off and tried to block the shot.

Su Xi easily handed the basketball to David Lee, who was catching up. David Lee caught the ball and dunked.

The Knicks completed a quick counterattack.

Su Xi's ability to seize opportunities is still unmatched.

The Cavaliers regrouped, and Su Xi still faced James.

Su Xi's entanglement caused James a lot of trouble, although the league modified the defensive rules.

Drew Gooden's pick-and-roll quality is far inferior to that of Ilgauskas. After all, the tonnage is not at the same level, and David Lee has a youth advantage against Gooden.

Therefore, the Cavaliers' originally silky offense became stagnant. The Cavaliers had to pass the basketball directly to O'Neal and let O'Neal go for a single.

O'Neal singled out Channing Frye, and the effect was obvious. He quickly broke out of position, but when he turned to prepare for a layup, Frye fell down.

The referee gave O'Neal an offensive foul.

O'Neill was extremely depressed.

He didn't expect that this noodle player would actually deflate him.

The Cavaliers' two offensive attempts were fruitless.

The Knicks turned around, and Su Xi attacked the paint area again and scored 2+1.

O'Neal defensive foul.

This was his fifth foul.

Cleveland's home court was filled with boos and abuse, all directed at the referee.

But Su Xi hit the free throw steadily.

Mike Brown had to take O'Neal off the court.

James losing two major centers is like losing Jerusalem.

He had to lead the team to speed up the pace.

However, when it comes to running and gun shooting, the Knicks are the experts.

The third quarter ended quickly.

The Knicks went from being 5 points behind to leading by 9 points.

Su Xi's personal score also climbed to 51 points.

This made James sad, and the Cavaliers bench was under pressure.

Before the game, they promoted the Knicks easily.

But the scene in front of me is so familiar, history has repeated itself time and time again.

Larry Brown cursed the referee for half the game on TV.

At the same time, he said that the Knicks and Suzy the Sheep were very lucky.

He just doesn't want to admit that the Knicks are strong. He always insists that the Knicks have surrendered if they play normally.

His words reminded Reggie Miller, who smiled and said: "Then do you think the Cavaliers will surrender?"

"Why should the Cavaliers surrender? They are only 9 points behind. They still have Shaquille O'Neal and LeBron James. This is their home court. They have no reason to surrender. They should just kill the Knicks!"

Larry Brown swears by it.

But, the whistle blows.

The result surprised him.

The Cavaliers put on their entire bench.

The Knicks are still prepared, and Su Xi leads the main lineup to continue the fierce battle.

Su Xi hit a 3-pointer as soon as he came on the court.

The Cavaliers bench didn't move at all.

Su Xi then stole the opponent and scored a layup.

Mike Brown remained unmoved.

After Su Xi hit another 2+1, the Cavaliers still had no reaction.

Susie understood and the Cavaliers surrendered.

The Knicks also had a 15-point lead at this time.

Su Xi felt that there was no need to fight anymore, so he also ended the game.

Some people on the Cleveland bench breathed a sigh of relief. They didn't want Soucy to break the scoring record that night.

They don't want to achieve Suhi's single-game scoring record.

What if Su Xi is a killer in this game, scoring 70 or 80 points, and even breaking Kobe's current single-game scoring record.

How embarrassing.

Moreover, the Cavaliers are not sure of winning. O'Neal had five fouls and Ilgauskas went to the hospital. At this time, what else are you fighting for?

Will Su Xi be the current leading scorer?

Historically, the Cavaliers have learned this lesson.

Therefore, when James proposed not to play, Mike Brown agreed immediately.

O'Neal was a little surprised: Why don't we fight now?
However, Mike Brown told him in a very affirmative tone: Use this game to take a good rest, let the Knicks be proud, and let them be arrogant for a while. We have achieved our strategic goal, which is that they are by no means our opponents. When we wait until the playoffs, we can destroy them with confidence and boldness.

Mike Brown seems to have caught on to LeBron James’s spirit a bit.

But his words seemed to convince O'Neal.

O'Neal also suffered losses.

Su Xi returned to the bench, and Isiah Thomas asked Su Xi: "Jack, you will score 60 points soon. With your touch, you can definitely score another 20 points tonight. You have to give them a shame."

?

Su Xi finally reacted and said, "Forget it, next time."

Su Xi is not someone who deliberately pursues this kind of thing.

This may be the reason why James and the others gave up the game.

Would they dare to do this if they encountered Ricky Davis?
beep!

Garbage time always passes quickly.

The Knicks ultimately defeated the Cavaliers 137:115.

This exceeded everyone's expectations.

Only Reggie Miller gave a thumbs up and praised Larry Brown: "Larry, you are worthy of being an expert among experts, an encyclopedia of basketball circles. What you said is really accurate. If you say you lose suspense in three quarters, you lose suspense in three quarters." As expected, the Cavaliers gave up the game after the third quarter."

Larry Brown was turned red by Reggie Miller's biting sarcasm. He hesitated for a while before saying: "This is a strategic abandonment. Let the Knicks get carried away first, and then give them a fatal blow in a critical game."

Reggie Miller smiled.

He doesn’t fight with Larry Brown.

Anyway, the laughter in front of the TV is very strong.

Meanwhile, Isiah Thomas was interviewed by ESPN.

Ask him how he felt about winning the game.

Isiah Thomas said very indifferently: "What do you think? Is this normal? We always win in duels, there is no surprise. The only thing worth saying is... they gave up the game after the third quarter. They are really smart. They know that Suzy the Goat is having a blast tonight, and they don’t want Suhi the Goat to get 80 or 90 points, so they take the initiative to declare garbage time. They know that Suhi the Goat is a decent person.”

"But what they did was very dishonorable. After all, they were only 9 points behind at the time. How could they declare garbage time after falling behind by 9 points with a whole quarter left?"

Isiah Thomas has a sharp tongue. He doesn't care about the Cavaliers' face and directly speaks sarcastically.

Very sarcastic!
