NBA: No. 1 Forward

James went to the inside through the cover of Valacho and scored a dunk.

But immediately after Lian Dao attracted the defense, he broke through and passed the ball to Wilson Chandler who was outside the three-point line in the bottom corner.

Chandler made a three-pointer from the outside.

4:12.

At this time, head coach Mike Brown called a timeout, and he needed to readjust his tactics.

Mike Brown is a defensive-oriented head coach. He was an assistant coach of the Spurs in his early years and was deeply liked by Popovich.

Popovich also spoke highly of him.

Although there is no problem with Mike Brown's defense, Mike Brown's offense has not been particularly good to be honest.

But when a player as talented as James appeared on the opposite side, Mike Brown also felt the pain of other coaches at this time.

What troubled Coach Mike Brown the most was that the opposing rookie seemed to have more attack methods than James.

Not only can he break through but also shoot three-pointers, and he also has an unpredictable pass.

This directly made Mike Brown worry.

Finally, he still made up his mind to double-team!

When Mike Brown proposed double-teaming, James originally wanted to say "he can defend", but looking at the score behind, James didn't say it, but his face became more and more ugly.

As a center, he is also a bit of a headache. It is really not suitable for O'Neal to play against the Knicks.

Especially O'Neal has been trained in the military one after another. After all, he is 37 years old. You can't ask for more from a 37-year-old veteran who can average 12 points and 6.7 rebounds per game.

So, Mike Brown replaced O'Neal, and he didn't replace Big Z, because it was no different from O'Neal on the court, and Big Z moved very slowly.

He glanced at J.J. Hickson on the bench, a little tangled, this guy has outstanding athletic ability, excellent finishing ability, and can draw fouls.

But also has a mid-range range, but not accurate, excellent rebounding.

But he's bad at defense, not good at helping and blocking shots.

To be honest, Mike Brown, who is defensive first, does not want J.J. Hickson, but there is no way to mention Varejao to the fifth position, and then let J.J. Hickson be the fourth position.

After returning from the timeout, the Knicks are still in the original lineup.

On the court, the game continues

The Cavaliers still have strength.

LeBron James, Varejao, Mo Williams.

This was before Antawn Jamison was traded. If Antawn Jamison was traded, the Cavaliers would be really strong.

As long as you don't encounter a speed-type team, basically the two major centers of the Cavaliers are still quite powerful.

The three of them are now the main offensive force of the Cavaliers.

Varejao is also constantly helping James with pick-and-roll screens, and then cuts to the basket and catches the ball for a layup.

As long as the Knicks are not paying attention, the Cavaliers will seize the opportunity.

This time, Mo Williams used the running position to get rid of Chris Duhon, and then received a pass from James outside and hit a three-pointer.

Lian Dao holds the ball from outside, and Millsap picks and rolls.

Lian Dao then accelerated towards the penalty area, and J.J. Hickson and Varejao double-teamed Lian Dao.

During Lian Dao's breakthrough, he hit the ground behind and passed the ball.

Covertly passes the ball to Millsap who gets an open shot.

Millsap makes a catch-and-shoot.

The time of the first quarter is slowly passing.

The Knicks and Cavaliers are also deadlocked.

Unexpectedly, in this game, Mo Williams broke out on the outside.

He hit consecutive three-pointers passed to him by James.

There are less than two minutes left in the first quarter.

The score between the two sides was reached: 22:26.

The Knicks also only had a slight lead of four points.

James once again broke through and passed the ball to J.J. Hickson. After J.J. Hickson got the ball, he was about to make a mid-range shot.

At this time, because James attracted the attention of the defender, J.J. Hickson was basically empty when he received the ball.

But this guy's mid-range shot was unstable, so he adjusted his basketball and shot.

At this time, a shadow descended from the sky and reached out to grab J.J. Hickson's mid-range shot.

That's right, grab it!

No. 1, Lian Dao!

"Lian Dao really jumped too high, he even managed to catch the cap."

As soon as Director Zhang finished speaking, Lian Dao had already dribbled the ball across the half court.

Hold the ball in one hand, grab the basketball directly outside the three-point line, and start from outside the three-point line.

"Is it too early for Lian Dao to join the ball?"

"What does he want to do?"

At this time, both Director Zhang and Yu Jia looked at Lian Dao in surprise.

But at this time, Lian Dao on the court landed directly on the free throw after two steps.

Then take off directly and lift the basketball high with one hand.

The body glides through the air.

"boom!"

A tomahawk dunk from the free throw line.

"This body is too good, this physical fitness is outrageous!"

Director Zhang shook his head in disbelief after Lian Dao completed the dunk.

At this time, Yu Jia, after a short silence, couldn't help sighing after organizing the sentence: "In terms of physical fitness, Lian Dao is definitely the top among the yellow race!"

"Dunk from the free throw line. This is a project that has only been seen in the slam dunk conference. The key is that there are only a handful of people who can complete this action."

"It's just too..."

Speaking of this, Yu Jia couldn't help shaking his head, he really didn't know what words to use to express it.

"It can only be said that the sky is his limit!"

At this time, old partner Director Zhang also added from the side.

Yu Jia also nodded in agreement.

At this time, the fans at Madison Square Garden were like crazy, shouting Lian Dao's name frantically.

Some fans shouted "MVP" excitedly.

"MVP!"

"MVP!"

"MVP!"

J.J. Hickson was still on the spot, he hadn't reacted from Lian Dao's horrific cap-grabbing before.

Isn't he a bully?

"Oh, Sickle is like confiscating a child's toy, confiscating J.J. Sixon's shot directly!" This is Barkley's evaluation of Lian Dao's catch just now.

Although Barkley has also managed to catch caps, it was on the inside. This is the first time Barkley has seen such a talent-crushing cap-grabbing on the outside.

Then came the Cavaliers offense.

This time, Lian Dao once again blocked James' tank charge, and then James missed a mid-range shot.

David Lee grabs the rebound.

Wear it to Lian Dao, and then Lian Dao passed it on to Chris Duhon.

It wasn't that Lian Dao didn't want to attack quickly, it was that Lian Dao was out of breath after being hit by James' tank-style breakthrough.

It's a little uncomfortable. This is the first time Lian Dao has encountered such a strong outside player in the same position.

Lian Dao reckoned that after this match the next morning, his body would definitely be black and blue.

Therefore, he also handed the ball to Chris Duhon, and he took advantage of this to catch his breath.

Outside the three-point line, Lian Dao received a pass from Chris Duhon.

Then call Millsap pick-and-roll, and then misplaced singles J.J. Hickson, this guy is the Cavaliers' biggest loophole on the court.

"boom!"

Lian Dao dribbled the ball vigorously and accelerated to break through from the right.

J.J. Hickson hurriedly moved laterally to intercept at this time.

Lian Dao suddenly stopped to dribble the ball under his crotch, and took a step back.

J.J. Hickson's defensive focus shifted quickly.

Suddenly, he couldn't control his body and sat down on the floor.

And Lian Dao was outside the three-point line at this time. At this time, Lian Dao stopped to look at J.J. Hickson and shot a three-pointer.
