The Cavaliers did not change the lineup, and I don't know if I really feel that the effect of this lineup is good, or there is no choice.

Of course, at this time, they did not have to choose at this time, and they could only throw it alone.

Wallace does not have at least the magic team cannot cut them. Otherwise, if the two sides are cut, the picture is too beautiful.

Of course, the problem of inside defense must be accepted. Although Wallace is not present, it is the same, but just scored a basket with James to cooperate with two points.

, Came back to the defensive end but sent the scores directly back, and lost a foul.

Li Chengming lowered his back and rolled his back and turned directly into it. Smith saw that he could not stop Li Chengming, but he did not expect that he could still throw the ball.

This made him look frustrated, but he has tried his best.

Looking at Li Chengming, who was wondering, he might also think of it. He had had such opportunities, but he had not grasped.

Oh, by the way, the agent who hurts him to fall into a contract dispute, Fei Gen, is now a agent who is easy to space ...

However, Li Chengming had no penalty, and it became Howard's iconic 2+0.

Next, the Cavaliers' attack, Smith wanted to make up for me, but this was James's team. He didn't look at Smith at all, and greeted Sizebiak to change his defender in front of him.

However, Tacorgru chose to go directly to cover, and Lewis also stepped forward slightly, and immediately followed Szezbiak again.

James still did not vote, and continued to be called a pick -and -roll.

Big Z mentioned to block Tigeru, and James immediately began to sprint in the face of Howard.

Howard posted James with his body, not giving him room, but dare not work too hard, otherwise James was foul next to him.

Li Chengming also quickly let go of Smith and came up to pinch.

At this time, James passed the ball and was easily intercepted. It could only accelerate and hit Howard first, and then poured it beside him, just killing the basket and then throwing it up.

When Li Chengming came over to racket, the referee had blown foul.

Howard did the fifth foul, and he did not argue. Although at this time node, it was a bit dangerous, because this may cause him to worry about the foul and be too dare to defend.

Then, then

However, Fan Gandi did not choose to replace him. After all, what should I do if I changed the defense of Howard?

So how long it can be used, and you can only look forward to the referee to do not target it next. At the same time, Lewis also told Lewis to watch it to help Howard share some.

James was grasped two free throws on the line. At this time, the home fans shouted the call of "MVP".

Although the performance of these KINGs was unsatisfactory, Cleveland's "subjects" still supported him as always.

It is nothing to suffer a little frustration. As long as you can carry it, I believe that the future must be bright.

Soon Van Gundy regretted not substituting Howard. When the Magic attacked and Li Chengming got the ball and was about to take action, the whistle sounded.

No need to look back, Li Chengming also knew that this was definitely not a foul on his own side as he was bragging about, it must have been on Howard's side.

Sure enough, the Cavaliers used the tactic of cutting Howard again. Smith directly hugged Howard and sent him to the free throw line.

In this round, the defense was slightly changed. Big Z faced off against Li Chengming, but the Lithuanian version of Dayao couldn't handle the low-post monster Li Chengming.

In fact, in the past two years, Big Z has become more and more outside in terms of shooting distance. He has no height, but his body shape has become more and more erratic. Although it is not as big as Bradley, he is gradually in the middle of the confrontation inside.

Weak.

Even Howard can bully him when he gets into position by relying on his strong upper body strength.

Relying on one-handed shooting, he can still gain a foothold, but on the defensive end, he is thin and slow, so it is difficult to guard inside and outside. No wonder the Cavaliers want to trade for Wallace to increase the rigidity of inside defense.

.

But neither Wallace nor he could do anything to make Li famous.

Facing Howard, you can use the bottom plate to push him away from the basket, because he has no shooting range, but Li Chengming is an excellent jumper, and now not only his back, but also his face to the frame can no longer be ignored, which makes the opponent defense more and more difficult to ignore.

People are even less sure when facing him.

And again, in the last game, Li Chengming almost left them with a psychological shadow. It felt like he was omnipotent and his shots would always go in. So instead of letting him continue playing, or giving the ball to Lewis, who performed well today, for outside shooting,

It's better to let Howard shoot free throws.

Howard also lived up to the expectations of the home fans and made one of two free throws.

When the Cavaliers attacked, James used Big Z and Szczerbiak's double pick-and-roll to find a breakthrough gap, got to the basket and wanted to commit another foul on Howard.

But this time Howard saw the right moment and took off. A big block knocked the ball from James' hand directly out of the baseline, and he firmly rejected his provocation.

James felt a little uneasy on his face, especially because he seemed a little dissatisfied with the referee's lack of movement, thinking that Howard had hit his hand just now.

After serving in the frontcourt, his actions seemed passive for a moment, but the Cavaliers relied on West's breakthrough rainbow layup, scored two more points, and successfully chased the score to 2 points.

If we continue to use the Huo-killing tactic, and Howard makes one of two free throws steadily, and then the Cavaliers score another 3-pointer, it will be a direct tie, which is a matter of one round.

So Van Gundy called a timeout, picked up his tactical board and started writing and drawing.

After the players all sat down, the Magic coach glanced at Howard and sighed inwardly, feeling that there was a problem in letting him play at this time.

If he is on the court, he will be fouled and his free throws will be erratic, which will slow down the team's offensive rhythm. On the defensive end, he may not dare to take action because of foul trouble.

He doesn't look like a veteran like Duncan. To put it bluntly, Howard's defensive ability at this time is mostly based on his superhuman physical fitness. But if he doesn't dare to exert force or make moves physically, his

The defensive deterrence was immediately reduced by more than half.

In short, Howard only has two bad things on the court at this time: his offense is not good and his defense is not good, which is even a side effect for the team.

This can't be said to be his fault, it's just that the game situation has been so unfriendly to him at this point.

But if he is substituted at this time, doesn't it mean that the coach does not trust him?

Although there is a reason to protect him due to foul problems, it may also pierce a thorn in his heart.

If the team's situation on the field is not good, then no one will be happy; but if the situation is better, then he will not be too happy.

After coaching the Heat, Van Gundy pays more attention to interpersonal relationships.

Although he still can't help it many times, after all, temperament is hard to change, and people always have to stick to their own principles.

Warcraft is usually a happy beast, but sometimes his temper is like that of a child, rough and sensitive at the same time.

Van Gundy is really worried that an accident may cause conflicts within the team. After all, the outside world has been touting Li Chengming and Turkoglu during the regular season, and there are some signs of this.

In the end, he chose to compromise and continued to let Howard stay on the court. He even gave up the idea of ​​​​this game mentally.

After all, this is an away game, and there is a reason for failure.

During the timeout in the CCTV live broadcast room, the two commentators were speculating whether Van Gundy would replace Warcraft. At this time, they were a little surprised to see Howard on the Magic team still on the court after the timeout.

Yang Yi could only say: "It seems that Van Gundy still believes in Howard's experience in the last moments of the game..."

Ma Jian also echoed: "The Magic still rely on Howard on defense. It just depends on whether Howard will be restrained and dare not defend."

In fact, it also depends on the referee's whistle.

Sometimes during a game, a player who has already committed five fouls can still stay on the court for a long time. This may not necessarily mean that the offensive team has stopped targeting, but it may also be that the referee did not call the foul.

However, after returning from the Magic's attack, the Cavaliers, as expected, directly fouled Howard, and the referee also gave the penalty, allowing Warcraft to stand on the free throw line again.
