Chapter 312 Inseparable

January 30, Quicken Loans Center, Cleveland.

The arena was packed with people, the cheers were deafening, and the arena, which can accommodate 20,562 people, was packed with seats.

This is a focused battle, with the Big Three Cavaliers facing off against the league's number one Sacramento Kings!

This game of strong dialogue was already very attractive. Coupled with James' previous remarks, it has attracted even more attention now.

"Welcome everyone to watch Penguin Sports bring you the 14-15 regular season game between the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Sacramento Kings! I am Wang Meng, and today's guest commentator is still Mr. Wang Xing!"

"Hello everyone! Nice to meet you all again!"

Since Wang Xing served as the guest commentator last time, he has received a lot of praise.

It's not because of how profound his professional knowledge is, or how excellent his explanations are, it's just because of the gossip he told about Li Pu that made everyone interested.

After all, that is Li Pu’s gossip! Who doesn’t want to hear it? Who doesn’t like to hear it?

The top management of Penguin didn't care about this. When they saw that King Xing was useful, they would use it to death, so they began to increase the number of commentary sessions for King Xing!

Of course Wang Xing is also willing, after all, who would push money out?

However, he also knows what his strengths and weaknesses are. If he waits until he has no new gossip to talk about, he will naturally be abandoned by netizens.

So now he is studying and practicing commentary very seriously, hoping that in the future he can rely on humorous commentary and professional skills to conquer the audience instead of just relying on gossip.

"What do you think of Teacher Wang's game tonight?"

"I think the Kings still have the upper hand at the moment. If the Cavaliers want to win, they still have to find a way to limit Li Pu while cutting off Li Pu's connection with his teammates!"

To be honest, Wang Xing's words are the same as those he never said.

Who doesn’t know that Li Pu needs to be restricted when playing against the King? The question is, can you keep the restrictions?

"Okay, let's take a look at tonight's starting lineup. The Cavaliers are still their regular starters: Kyrie Irving, J.R. Smith, LeBron James, Kevin Love and Timofey Mozgov.

The Kings also used their regular starting lineup: Bledsoe, Butler, Middleton, Giannis and Lip..."

Shortly after Wang Meng introduced the starters, the game between the two sides officially started.

Mozkov comes from a fighting nation. He is 216cm tall and weighs 113kg. He has the skills and skills of a small forward. He is full of impact on the court and has good athletic ability.

But these are not enough in front of Li Pu.

After the game started, Li Pu succeeded in jumping the ball.

Giannis advanced to the frontcourt with the ball and faced Love.

Love is a typical player who is strong in offense but weak in defense, especially in high-post defense, which further exposes his disadvantage of slow lateral movement.

Giannis stood in the high post and started a pick-and-roll with Lip.

The two inside players perform a pick-and-roll, which is one of the Kings' common starting tactics.

Seeing this, the Cavaliers had no choice but to switch defenses, otherwise they would not be able to keep up with the speed of the Kings' two inside players.

After the defense change, Giannis took a step forward and found that Mozkov was defending well, so Giannis made a back pass and gave the ball to Lip.

After Li Pu caught the ball, he broke through Love's defense with just a fake move.

In fact, Giannis' current breakthrough is not much worse than Li Pu's. The key is that Li Pu's shooting is much more accurate than Giannis, so Li Pu's fake moves are more realistic, making Li Pu's breakthrough easier!

"Beautiful, Antetokounmpo passed the pick-and-roll to Li Pu, Li Pu broke through, and made a beautiful dunk! Li Pu smashed Huashan and gave the Kings the lead!"

I don’t know who Huashan offended, but he was attacked at random intervals!

It was the Cavaliers' turn to attack, and James dribbled to the frontcourt.

Other players lined up to create space for James.

Then Love moved up to set up a screen for James.

The main reason why I chose Love instead of Li Pu was that it was difficult for James to break through and Li Pu was unable to break through.

Li Pu is not afraid of confrontation, and he is still tall. He can completely cover James and prevent him from making breakthrough layups.

But Giannis is different.

Although he has been training his muscles like crazy over the past year and can compete with many forwards, his strength is still insufficient compared to James.

Therefore, after the pick-and-roll switch, James pushed Giannis into the paint, then came to the basket and pushed Giannis away with an elbow, and scored a layup!

"James breaks through and goes up against Giannis Antetokounmpo! Hey, he really made it!"

2:2 tie!

Even though he scored, James still felt dissatisfied and raised his hands to the referee, but was ignored by the referee.

Although it is not difficult for James to obtain whistles today, compared with before, it is much less.

Obviously, the league has discovered that it is impossible for James to become the new face of the league, and naturally it will no longer spend a lot of effort on him.

It's the Kings' turn to attack. Giannis stands high and Lip picks and rolls for Butler on the flank. This is a tactical position commonly used by Princeton of the Kings.

To be honest, all five members of the Kings have certain offensive abilities. In comparison, Middleton is a pitcher and is better to defend.

Therefore, the person defending him is naturally James!

And JR Smith obviously can't guard Butler, especially when Li Pu returns him a pick-and-roll, it becomes even more impossible to guard him!

After the pick-and-roll, Butler received the ball and faced Mozkov and passed the ball to Lip who was passing down.

After receiving the ball, Li Pu took off and dunked. JR had no other choice but to watch Li Pu dunk!

4:2.

It was the Cavaliers' turn to attack. This time James handed the ball to point guard Irving after halftime.

As the No. 1 pick, Irving has now grown into an outstanding All-Star point guard. And at this time, he is not causing trouble and is still playing ball. That's amazing!

Others opened up space for Irving, and Irving singled out Bledsoe.

Bledsoe's current defensive ability is very good, especially the fast small defender with high defensive mobility, who can pester the opponent to death. When he comes home, Bledsoe will be lying in bed.

However, facing Irving, Bledsoe was somewhat powerless.

With a large crossover, he successfully passed Bledsoe, and then quickly collected the ball and shot. Although Bledsoe blocked the shot immediately, it was just that little gap that allowed Irving to complete the shot and hit!

This guy really scores the harder the harder the ball is!

4:4 flat.

After Giannis broke through with the ball, he attracted James' defense this time, and then passed the ball to Middleton in the bottom corner.

Middleton raised the knife and hit a three-pointer!

7:4.

Immediately afterwards, James broke through and passed it to Love on the outside. The latter also shot a three-pointer and made it!

7:7 flat!

It can be seen that this knight with the three giants is really not weak!
