Chapter 1058: Use the Mantis’ Arm as a Cart and Grind It Into a Pulp (4/5!)

Chapter 1058: Use the mantis’ arm as a cart and grind it into a pulp (45!)

At the end of the first quarter, the Cavaliers players ended the game dejected.

On the bench, James stared at the scoreboard blankly, forgetting to bite his finger.

George seemed a little absent-minded. This was actually not the place he wanted to come to.

Love was hit by Whiteside and was knocked away without any resistance like the defense on the court.

The Cavaliers were stunned by the Pelicans in one quarter.

Lu was also a little overwhelmed at this time. He had predicted a lot before the game, but he didn't expect that the game would turn out like this.

"guys!"

Before Lu could speak, Wade reached out and called all the players together.

“I don’t know why they were in such good shape in the first quarter, maybe they were inspired by something before the game, or maybe they were just in good shape.

But believe me, they won't stay like that forever. If we defend hard and attack well, we still have a chance.

What the Warriors can do, we can do.

Thinking about our goals for this season, we can definitely overcome the difficulties before us! "

Wade played the role of the boss in the locker room at critical moments. After a while, it can be felt that the morale of the Cavaliers players has obviously returned.

James looked at Wade with a look full of intimacy.

He is not a person who is good at encouraging his teammates with words, and Wade is good at this.

Their collaboration is as close as it was in Miami.

Although, he once lost to Wade.

But they Fengchen brothers don't care about those details.

After hearing Wade's words, Lu slapped his head and suddenly had an idea of ​​a strategy.

"We put our main focus on offense and compete with them on offense. Our offensive talent is no worse than theirs."

Lu's words showed his ability as a tactical genius, and the Cavaliers players also reacted immediately.

James immediately took the tactical board and laid out the tactics.

In the second quarter, they will fight back!

Back in the second quarter, both teams were the main players with substitutes.

The Pelicans are led by Walker and Davis, and the Cavaliers are led by James and Love.

Walker and Davis still continued their excellent form in the first quarter and were very efficient on the offensive end.

However, the Cavaliers went all out on offense in this quarter, and James broke through and scored with all kinds of overlords.

The two teams were in a stalemate in the substitution period, and the Cavaliers even got the score closer.

Lu's eyes were filled with tears as he watched from the audience.

Sure enough, his strategy was right!

Fighting hard on offense, the Cavaliers are not inferior to the Pelicans!

This quarter lasted more than five minutes, and the score on the field was 49 to 35. The Cavaliers had closed the point difference to 14 points.

Stevens called a timeout.

After the timeout, both teams' lineups have undergone major adjustments.

All five starters from the Cavaliers are back.

The Pelicans have put together a lineup that has never been used before.

Tang Tian and Butler on the outside, Siakam and Davis on the forward line, and Dedmon on the center line.

The average height of this lineup is very high, with the shortest Butler being 2.01 meters tall.

And more importantly, Tang Tian plays point guard in this lineup!

Stevens has really moved closer and closer to Popovich this season and started various show operations.

The Pelicans' offense came back from the timeout.

Tang Tian held the ball on the outside, and Davis set up a pick-and-roll.

The Cavaliers chose to double-team Tang Tian. Tang Tian hit the ball through the double-team and the ball was passed steadily to Davis.

Davis took the ball and took a step, slamming the ball into the basket before Whiteside could help defend.

This goal helped the Pelicans stabilize the situation.

The Cavaliers' offense and James' organization failed to work out the off-ball tactics several times.

In the end, he chose to rush directly to the basket, and his strong shot caused Dedmon to foul on defense, and he got two extra free throw opportunities.

But it's a pity that both of his free throws were too big and he failed to hit them.

The defensive rebound was collected by Dedmon.

Tang Tian took the ball to the frontcourt and continued to organize the offense.

During the timeout earlier, he was a little surprised when Stevens said he was asked to play point guard.

After all, although he is a good passer, he is at best an all-around forward.

But when I actually played it, I found that it was actually no different from the previous games.

Isn't this the No. 1 singles tactic used by the Pelicans to press the bottom of the box?

In other words, after his ball handling improves, he can definitely play point guard.

Stevens' reaction was quick.

Davis continued to put up pick-and-rolls, and this time the Cavaliers chose to change.

The moment the change was completed, Tang Tian passed Love with a breakthrough from the right, which was smoother than crossing the road in the early morning.

And after passing, Tang Tian accelerated in one step, giving the Cavaliers no chance to help defend on the weak side.

Whiteside made a save from the basket, and Tang Tian threw the ball into the air.

Dedmon jumped up and succeeded in an alley-oop dunk.

His pie-eating ability was already on the line. After coming to the Pelican, he ate too much pie and almost became a pie king.

The Cavaliers' frontcourt tactics still haven't worked out.

It was at this time that many people at the scene realized the purpose of the Pelicans' lineup.

Letting Tang Tian play point guard is not the main purpose.

The main purpose of this lineup is defense!

This is the strongest defensive lineup the Pelicans can field!

Stevens has a very accurate grasp of the situation on the court.

Aren’t your Cavaliers trying to attack? Then I will use a super lock defense. If you can score like before, you will win!

James finally carried the explosive bag and charged in again. After being double-teamed, he passed the ball to George.

However, the Pelicans defended very quickly, and George had no chance to take action, so he could only choose to attack with the ball.

He broke through with the dribble and rushed to the free throw line against Butler's defense. His sudden jump shot was interfered with and the basketball hit the frame.

Davis collected the defensive rebound.

The Pelicans directly played defensive counterattack this time, with Tang Tian and Butler playing two-on-one in the frontcourt.

Tang Tian made a fake pass and passed the iconic back pass to Butler, who easily made a layup.

55 to 35!

After returning from the timeout, the Pelicans launched a 6-0 offensive, opening the point difference to 20 points!

Lu started to panic again at this time.

His tactical genius attribute was temporary, and the situation on the field changed rapidly, leaving him open-mouthed in a daze.

The Cavaliers' frontcourt tactics still cannot be used, and the Pelicans' lineup is too defensively oppressive.

This is not difficulty breathing, it feels like I am suffocating!

At the critical moment, veteran Wade held the ball and entered the paint, and after a strong confrontation with Davis, he earned a foul.

But this time he landed on his arm and suffered some serious injuries.

Two free throw opportunities, one big and one small, were missed!

The defensive rebound was grabbed by Dedmon.

The Pelicans attacked the frontcourt, and Tang Tian organized again.

Before Lu could react, Drew jumped up and stretched out his hand to signal a change in tactics.

Davis tried a pick-and-roll again, and the Cavaliers shrank directly to the center, not giving the two men a chance to attack.

However, Tang Tian's vision was very wide, and a through ball without looking at anyone was steadily delivered to Butler who was cutting from the baseline.

"Bang!"

After Butler got the ball, he jumped up and slammed the ball into the basket with both hands.

There was an uproar.

After the Pelicans came back from the timeout, they were unstoppable. The Cavaliers were like a mantis acting like a car, and they were directly crushed into pulp!
