Chapter 894: Lose first
Now, except for James, everyone else in the Cavaliers is doing very well.
And the Cavaliers are now in the lead, although not much.
Spurs attacked, this time Qin Yan got the ball, even if he had to do something like that, Qin Yan had to get the ball at this time.
James stretched out his arms to block in front of Qin Yan, and these two muscular men collided hard for the first time!
"Come on!"
James stepped forward to close the distance between the two, after all, Qin Yan's speed was very fast, and if he was given enough space to start, James was not sure that he would be able to stop Qin Yan.
Qin Yan made a three-threat move, and motioned to the rest of the team with his eyes to pull away, he wanted to be close to James.
"Smack, smack......"
Flexibly changing hands under the crotch to dribble, Qin Yan, who is all-round with both left and right hands, likes to use this move as a precursor to a breakthrough.
James was unmoved, Qin Yan's center of gravity did not change at all, and this feint could not have any effect.
Shake left and right, and accelerate sharply to the right.
Of course, James would not be shaken off like this, he chased after him violently, blocking the path of Qin Yan's breakthrough.
Qin Yan took a step back suddenly, opened a little distance, and then changed direction again before James could catch up!
James' body is really good, in the face of such a high-speed change of direction, he can still twist it, and then stick to Qin Yan again!
Hmph, how many times can you stick me?
Qin Yan said that it didn't matter to James's defensive method, the attacker always took the initiative, and once again faked a retreat and changed direction again!
Not enough! James twisted his waist stiffly and caught up with Qin Yan again!
But I have to say that Qin Yan is amazing, in the face of James who is forcing up again, Qin Yan did not retreat this time, but turned around in 360 degrees, directly pressing James behind his back! Then leaned forward, picked it up with one hand, grabbed Monroe before he came out to block, and successfully scored the ball!
"Beautiful!"
The Spurs cheered all over the court, Qin Yan's goal against James just now was very exciting, the continuous change of direction and continuous change of hands, there was no pause at all, it was all in one go!
James didn't have too many disappointed or other expressions, after all, now Qin Yan is no longer the Qin Yan of the rookie season, to be honest, Qin Yan's offensive means are fully open, and James may not be able to prevent it.
The Cavaliers attacked, and Irving gave Lefou, after all, Jokic was a rookie, and Lefu still suffered.
Lefu hit Jokic with his back, and the two weighed about the same at this time, but Lefou's experience and skills were overwhelming, so there was no big problem in fighting.
One, two, three, Lefou's broad back pushed Jokic three times, and then Jokic staggered away.
Turn around, small hook hand, Lefu easily scored.
turned around and attacked, Qin Yan still took the ball, still reversing the ball flexibly with his left and right hands, and then forcibly accelerated to break through the inside line!
That's right, it's a straight line breakthrough, Qin Yan doesn't play tricks, he simply uses strength and speed to decide the winner!
James was not overtaken by Qin Yan like ordinary people, although he was also retreating, but he always kept the route in front of him, thanks to Qin Yan finally came to change hands in the air, otherwise this goal would definitely not be scored.
Then the two teams started to fight offensively, but I don't know why, the Spurs' shooting today seems to be a bit of a problem, except for Qin Yan and Leonard, the other people's offense has not been very smooth, especially Whiteside, the inside Optimus Prime, under Monroe's defense, he couldn't show his offensive talent and dunked several balls.
Of course, Monroe didn't have anything to take advantage of, and his offense was really not enough in front of Whiteside, and he ate two or three hats.
Lefu was very happy, it was not enough to force Jokic on the inside, and he also pulled to the outside and shot two three-pointers, which directly broke Jokic.
James and Qin Yan exploded each other, and the two were almost evenly matched, of course, mainly because the knights did not let James attack during this time.
As for the Spurs, they were going to be behind, how could they go all out?
Leonard may be the only player who has played seriously, and his stellar performance has almost negated the advantage that LeFou's beating of Jokic has given the Cavaliers.
Halfway through the first quarter, the two sides made substitutions, and at this time, the Spurs trailed the Cavaliers by 6 points and initially completed the task.
At the time of substitution, the Spurs went up and down five times, and the old demon knife and the old Shifo took Tucker, Mills, and Green on the three people, to be honest, the ability of this lineup is no worse than the starters of most teams in the league.
The Cavaliers are not so atmospheric, and it is still more stressful for them to go up and down, but they have also replaced JR, Thompson, and Shambaugh.
Irving is worthy of being a new star, full of physical strength, and Parker has been working for so long, and now he still doesn't feel tired enough in the face of Mills, he keeps pushing the speed, because the Cavaliers are now on the court This lineup is their most mobile combination, if you don't play fast at this time, when will you play?
Mills was eaten by Irving a couple of times, but it didn't matter, he hit two three-pointers from beyond the three-point line in response.
Yes, one of the problems with the Cavaliers' lineup is that the projection is unstable, almost no one has a stable three-point ability, they are all breakthrough players, if the outside JR goes crazy, then the three points are really powerful, but the problem is that he can't control his burst time, when you want him to be accurate, he tends to be a dog.
It's still easy for Duncan to suppress Thompson under the basket, after all, although Thompson claims to be 208 cm tall, but in fact, this guy is only about 203-205 cm at most, and the two people standing next to James are about the same height.
is not as tall as Uncle Deng, Thompson wants to rely on the momentum of young people to score on Duncan's head, but he doesn't want to think about it, Duncan has been in the league for more than ten years, what type of person has he never seen? A blue-collar little guy like Thompson wants to go wild on Duncan's head, is it sure that this kid is not on the wrong set?
When Thompson can't move, James naturally has to set an example, he is on Tucker, another top 3D player introduced by the Spurs this year, 198 is 110 kilograms tall, if the offensive means are a little richer, the bounce is a little better, this is the second generation of Barkley.
But Tucker's strength lies in the fact that he is hard enough, and his muscles are not very obvious, but when he is tough with James, James can't take much advantage, and he can't get in with his back, so he can only rely on turning around to jump shots or turning around to break through and make fouls.
But after all, the Spurs were planning to lose first and then win, so they managed to let the Cavaliers take a bit of rhythm, and in this second lineup confrontation, the Cavaliers won by another 4 points, and at the end of the first quarter, the score became 35:25.
With a 10-point difference, the Spurs' goal has almost been achieved.
