Chapter 148 The provocation of the Brazilian actor(2/2)
Curry received the pass and immediately rushed forward.
This time, the Cavaliers returned to defense much faster. Only O'Neal was a little slower, running slowly to the inside.
The fat man was extremely depressed at this time. He really didn't want to go on such a fast-paced back and forth run.
It’s too difficult for a fat-headed shark weighing more than 300 kilograms!
Since O'Neal had not rushed back to the penalty area, the Cavaliers' defensive system failed to take shape.
The Warriors took the opportunity to launch an attack. Curry made a forward change of direction, shook off Anthony Parker, and quickly broke through to the basket.
Upon seeing this, James let go of his defender and immediately rushed back to the basket to defend.
Seeing this situation, Curry quickly passed the ball away without challenging James.
Sun Yi received the pass, mismatched Mo Williams, pulled up and threw the basketball in his hand.
Although the shooting posture was very elegant, the ball failed to hit the target.
In the penalty area, James jumped up to grab the rebound and quickly dribbled toward the frontcourt.
O'Neal, who finally ran back to his own half, sighed helplessly when he saw this, and had to turn around and run towards the Warriors' half.
On the Cavaliers bench, Mike Brown frowned when he saw the scene on the court.
O'Neal, who was retiring with the Cavaliers, didn't have much fuel. If he continues to be consumed by the Warriors like this, he won't be able to play in the next game.
So Brown called Varejao to his side and gave him a few words.
Varejao nodded, then took off his training clothes and ran to the waiting area to wait to play.
On the court, James broke into the penalty area, encountered a double-team and then passed the ball out.
Mo Williams received the pass, faced Ellis's defense, and hit a mid-range jumper.
3:6!
The Warriors once again served quickly and launched a transition attack.
Curry dribbled the ball across half court and immediately passed the ball.
Sun Yi, who was running, received the pass and quickly came outside the three-point line. After attracting the defender, he hit the ball to the center and passed it to the center.
Ellis, who was cutting towards the basket, received the pass, rushed into the penalty area, pulled the lever to avoid James' interference, and scored the ball with difficulty.
5:6!
Looking back, James made a tank-like breakthrough and caused Maggette's foul, giving him two free throw opportunities.
Amid the cheers and shouts of the fans in the audience, James stood on the free throw line, received the referee's pass, and made the first free throw steadily.
Taking advantage of the dead ball period, Varejao replaced O'Neal.
The replaced Fathead quickly returned to the bench, slumped on the seat, and drank the mineral water handed to him by the staff to replenish his lost energy.
Finally no need to do that damn switchback run!
O'Neal regained his composure and enjoyed a massage from a physical trainer to relax.
Back on the court, James made his second free throw and still made it steadily.
5:8!
The ball transitions and the Warriors attack.
Curry dribbled to the outside of the three-point line, waved to the inside, and called for pick-and-roll cooperation.
Randolph immediately ran out and took Varejao out with him.
After the pick-and-roll was ready, Curry bypassed the screen, jumped directly, and threw the basketball in his hand.
Varejao, who changed defense, rushed forward to interfere. Although he didn't block the shot, he still caused interference.
At the same time, Sun Yi quickly ran towards the inside after avoiding Hixon.
Hickson has no habit of getting stuck, and his ability to protect backcourt rebounds is very poor.
As the Cavaliers' starting power forward, he averaged only 4.6 rebounds per game, which is obviously not up to standard.
On the other side, James also ran towards the penalty area quickly.
The two rushed to the basket almost at the same time, and then both jumped up.
Sun Yi occupied a favorable position and was the first to touch the basketball. He knew that he would not be able to dunk without James' interference, so he could only point the ball towards the basket.
The basketball bounced on the rim two or three times and rolled into the net.
7:8!
In the next round, James broke through and scored, assisting Varejao to hit a mid-range jumper.
Looking back, the Warriors were also unambiguous, using a run-and-gun tactic.
Ellis hit a three-pointer from the outside to tie the score.
In the next few rounds, the two sides fought hard and each scored points, but the point difference could not be widened.
The first quarter lasted about 7 minutes, and both sides made substitutions.
The Warriors took out Curry and Ellis and replaced them with Morrow and Laga Bell.
The Cavaliers replaced Anthony Parker and Hickson and replaced them with West and Danny Green.
After the start of this season, Mike Brown saw Sun Yi, Curry and other rookies playing very well, and felt that the rookies selected by the Cavaliers were also good, giving Green enough playing time.
But after playing a few games, he failed to achieve the expected results and had to return to the bench.
In this game, Brown boldly used Green again, hoping to use Sun Yi and Curry to stimulate Green's fighting spirit, hoping that he could perform.
After substitution adjustments, the Cavaliers attack.
West dribbled the ball from behind the three-point line, passed the ball to James, and then quickly ran without the ball.
After James caught the ball, he saw that Maggette let him shoot. He couldn't bear this. Without any hesitation, he jumped up and shot.
Bang!
The basketball bounced out of the frame and missed!
The Cavaliers retreated quickly and turned back to defend the moment James shot.
Prevent the Warriors from counterattacking by giving up rushing for offensive rebounds.
Sun Yi rushed back to the basket, easily grabbed the defensive rebound, and then quickly advanced towards the frontcourt.
After he came outside the three-point line, he made a fake move to shake off Green and quickly broke through to the basket.
Varejao, who was near the penalty area, saw this and immediately retreated into the penalty area to defend.
Sun Yi did not stop, pushed away Varejao, and rushed towards the basket.
Just when Sun Yi was about to dunk, a whistle interrupted the game.
"Beep! Warriors No. 9 offensive foul."
The referee blew the whistle and gestured to the technical table.
When Sun Yi saw the referee pointing at him, he looked confused and didn't know why he was awarded an offensive foul.
When he saw Varejao lying on the floor and wailing, everything became clear.
"Fuck! I was tricked by the Brazilian movie star!"
Sun Yi complained angrily, then handed the ball to the referee and ran towards the Warriors half court.
When passing by Varejao, Sun Yi glared, and his meaning was very clear: This matter is not over yet!
Varejao smiled and raised his eyebrows provocatively, not taking the rookie Sun Yi seriously.
With his big brother James protecting him, whoever touches a hair on his face will be so arrogant!
When Sun Yi saw this, he smiled and was not surprised by Varejao's response.
"This kind of competition is interesting!"
