0684 Are you ready?

Making up his mind, Su Yang stood up and gestured, shouted and reminded him to start high-intensity defense and fast-paced attack.

The Kings were ordered to do the same and directly served a fast attack. Antetokounmpo drove the ball and rushed over, crossing the center line in two seconds, turning around and giving Curry who followed up to the right side line, then started and ran to the top of the arc to provide a cross cover for Covington. Covington took the opportunity to start and run to the right wing, making a wide-bottom cover for George who came to the right bottom corner, and then George covered Curry again.

After three consecutive covers, the Cavaliers' defensive formation was in chaos.

Curry glanced at the half-time and chose to pass the ball to the right wing. George took the ball against Love. He didn't seem to be able to stick it up, and he pulled it up and made a three-pointer.

The basketball is hollowed into the net.

Cheers burst out suddenly. Although the King's attack covered three consecutive times, it took only 14 seconds in total.

The Cavaliers turned to counterattack, and Irving ran across the center line, passing it to the left wing, and jr received the ball and then hung on the left waist position.

Love had just received the basketball and was not ready to play Covington with force, George next to him had already put it on to double-team.

That is what Su Yang mentioned in high-intensity defense.

Try to force the Knight to make mistakes.

In a hurry, Love quickly turned around and passed the ball straight to the middle, while TT Tomp received the ball and started to rush to the basket. However, Antetokounmpo chased and followed the shadows and had no chance to make a layup. He had to circle around and observe the position, pretending to raise his hand and pass back, but in fact he bent his knees to accumulate strength.

Maybe he was a little anxious. After being deceived, Antetokounmpo jumped and blocked his block, pressing his whole body against TT Thompson.

The referee blew a foul and signaled the Cavaliers to reorganize the attack. Antetokounmpo slapped his head in a little annoyed.

Seeing this, Su Yang applauded and shouted: "Don't be anxious, don't be anxious, you have done a good job, just keep keeping, keep keeping!"

The increased chance of foul is a side effect of high-intensity defense, which is inevitable, with high risks and high returns coexisting.

The central large screen gave a replay at the same time. TT Thompson put down the ball and hugged Antetokounmpo when Antetokounmpo fell, which was considered to help Antetokounmpo reduce the risk of injury. There was also a case where Cousins ​​hugged LeBron before, and the two teams also helped each other in competition.

The fans at the scene applauded.

The Cavaliers then re-activated the ball, and the box tactics started. LeBron took the ball in the left elbow area and observed it from behind. Suddenly, he passed the ball to Love, who scored and used Irving to cover the position. Love took the ball and pretended to shoot, and once again pointed Antetokounmpo, causing another foul.

Antetokounmpo made two consecutive fouls.

All are real fouls, nothing wrong.

I am still anxious. This is the case with high-intensity defensive strategy. Fighting every goal is likely to cause a chain reaction and will not be used easily.

Assistant coach Mike Brown subconsciously turned around and called Cousins ​​to appear. Su Yang raised his hand and signaled not to use it. The main Antetokounmpo did not commit a foul in the first quarter. Now he committed two consecutive crimes. Just pay attention to it next. However, without Antetokounmpo, the high-intensity defensive strategy is difficult to unfold, and the fast-paced offense and defense are difficult to implement. Since you choose to take risks, be bolder and there is no need to adjust the strategy halfway.

Amid the booing, Love stood on the free throw line, and the first free throw was hit by an iron clang, and the second free throw actually came out of the basket.

George took off and got the rebound. Curry received the ball and turned to advance. He ran across the center line and directly covered the arc at the top of the double screen. The Cavaliers chose to double-team.

In the flash, Curry passed the ball straight to the free throw line, and took the ball away, and rushed to the basket. Love quickly contracted from the short corner on the right to prepare for blocking, but Antetokounmpo's pick-and-roll performance that had been practiced for a long time, and the basketball was divided into Covington, who was cut in the empty space.

With a clang, the air-connect dunk was dunked.

The Kings officially overtook the Cavaliers 44-43. Antetokounmpo's pick-and-roll was formulated before the game, and Cousins's empty-cut attack strategy came into effect. However, Cousins' position was changed to Covington, which was considered to crack the Cavaliers' double-team Curry, and gambling Antetokounmpo's shooting routine.

Taking advantage of the dead ball, the Cavaliers replaced Irving and replaced Shampoo.

Assistant coach West immediately reminded Su Yang to think a little while after hearing this, and asked ecstatically: "Chambers return to the singles routine?"

The Cavaliers took the lead in energy conservation for the first time. In addition to those two steals, there is another important reason. Irving continued his fourth game to play the game without the ball, causing LaVine to foul through the off-ball running. Now at the critical moment of the second quarter, using Shampoo to replace Irving may be to maximize the power of the LeBron system and improve his defense on Curry, but that has a great impact on the Cavaliers' mobility.

Shampoo could not do what Irving did. He then went around and took the ball and shot quickly, and was only good at catching the ball and fixed three-pointers.

As long as you take a fixed point, the difficulty of defense will be greatly reduced.

While thinking, Antetokounmpo and George double-teamed, LeBron had no choice but to pass the ball, and TT missed the rules when he received the ball.

The ball rights of the two teams are converted.

Curry dribbled the ball to the right wing and directly broke through to the left with the help of George's cover. Seeing that LeBron did not rob, he stopped and rushed to shoot.

Dong! Three points hit the circle and entered the net.

Cheers were loud in the stadium, and the Cavaliers hurriedly launched a counterattack. LeBron took the ball and made a strong breakthrough. He was surrounded by three people. In the chaos, the ball was thrown to the left bottom corner. Shampoo received the ball and made a three-pointer. The basketball hit the rebound and made an outrageous iron. The Kings got the rebound.

The counterattack suddenly started, George drove the ball over to the right wing, pretending to use the double cover to break through to the top of the arc, but in fact he continued to go to the right, misplaced against Thompson, and made a big stride into the paint area, facing Shampooter to make a layup, causing the batter to commit a foul.

Cheers were everywhere in the stadium, George made the first free throw, and the Cavaliers used Irving to replace Shampoo, seemingly finding a mistake.

Su Yang felt very regretful when he saw this. He had not fully utilized the loophole and it was closed. Tyron Lu's reaction was OK on the spot.

George also made the second free throw, and the Kings led the Cavaliers 49-43, and scored a 10-0 attack wave.

The two teams changed offensively, Irving dribbled the ball and ran through the half, without calling tactics, TT took the ball and passed LeBron to the left.

The cover was formed, and LeBron started to break through, but the other Cavaliers' runs without the ball disappeared, and they all stood there waiting, making LeBron unable to break through. The basketball suddenly passed to Love in the bottom corner on the left, but Love was not prepared and almost caught it.

Su Yang laughed at the spot and wondered what happened to Tyron Lu? Could it be that the last game of the game without the ball was a blind cat who met a dead mouse?

It was about to violate the rules in 24 seconds, and the referee suddenly blew a whistle and slaughtered Covington for a foul, and the Cavaliers re-activated.

Su Yang looked up at the center screen, and the playback showed that Covington did exert force on his hands, but he was still impatient to cause trouble.

In 14 seconds, the referee blew the whistle to the ball, Irving rushed with the ball, without tactical running, and returned to singles mode.

Irving was also brave. He surrounded the Kings and made a layup. The sound of an ironclad sound broke out, and Covington took advantage of the chaos to grab the rebound.

George took the ball and turned around and rushed forward, three-for-two in the frontcourt. He saw that only LeBron was at the Cavaliers' basket, and he decisively and vigorously passed the ball. Antetokounmpo, who followed the ball on the other side, took the ball and started a three-step layup. With a bang, LeBron had no choice.

51 to 43, the King's attack wave is still expanding.

The Cavaliers did not call a timeout. LeBron dribbled the ball across the half court. When all the players opened up the space, they started to force George to defend alone. However, they rushed to the free throw line and were surrounded by three people. They quickly raised their hand to pass to TT Thompson who got an open position in the short corner on the right. However, Thompson reacted like Love before, and was completely unprepared. He made a mistake in receiving the ball in a panic, the basketball flew out of the baseline, and the referee blew the whistle and punished the violation.

"It seems that high-intensity confrontation will not only cause the opponent's technical movements to deform, but also lead to strategic mistakes..." Su Yang recalled that LeBron made two forced passes, but in fact he had a lot of offense time, so he could run tactics patiently, which was really impatient.

Cheers were everywhere in the stadium, and the Kings served and attacked.

Curry passed George on the left side of the frontcourt quickly, ran across the center line and then took the back pass, made a gesture to raise his hand and flew Irving, easily hitting the left elbow area, facing TT's defense jump, and used his signature high throw to hit the board, the basketball was hollow into the net, and the whistle sounded at the same time.

The referee called TT Thompson to make a foul.

The whole audience shouted MVP, Curry stood on the free throw line, hit the extra free throw, and the Cavaliers asked for a timeout.

In just three minutes, the Kings played a 15-0 attack wave and overtook the lead Cavaliers 54-43. Although they paid the price of Antetokounmpo's two fouls and Covington's one foul, they completely reversed the form and firmly controlled the rhythm of the game.

On the espn live broadcast seat, Van Gundy shouted excitedly: "The Cavaliers have clearly found a way to get in touch with the situation, that is, a lot of running without the ball, but suddenly choose to give up. I can only say that is their fate, they like to play singles..."

Jackson smiled and said, "Change requires a process, and special cases can only appear in special scenarios. In the fourth game, the Cavaliers understand that they are facing sweeping and elimination and are willing to make changes. However, in the fifth game, the situation is different, and maybe they will appear next..."

Between the conversation, the game reached the end of the fourth quarter, and the situation was as Jackson expected. The Cavaliers who were facing the elimination crisis began to run without the ball again, and they forced themselves to seize the situation, only lagging behind 110 to 122, and there was hope of catching up.

Su Yang asked for a pause and arranged the final stage of defense, thinking that as long as the situation does not have a major collapse, he will win.

The whole team stood in a fan and shouted and asked directly: "King's Warriors, are you ready?"
Chapter completed!
