Chapter 81 Marder, you even lied to your teammates??

In the last two minutes of the first half, both sides' defenses were at full strength. Both the Cavaliers and Celtics were not weak in momentum, and they focused all their attention on the defensive end.

In the last two minutes, both sides fell into a scoring drought. Neither Jianghu nor James, nor Irving and Rose, made a successful shot in the end.

Celtics 60 to 52 Cavaliers.

The 8-point difference remained until the end of halftime.

At halftime, Jianghu made 10 of 14 shots and scored 24 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists.

James made 6 of 11 shots and scored 15 points, 9 rebounds and 6 assists.

In the second half, Stevens assigned tasks to the players in the locker room.

"Al, I will send you to defend LeBron in the second half. You have to let go of your normal defense and don't be afraid of fouling."

"Cut off the connection between LeBron and his teammates, Jiang, and leave the task of defending Love to you. I think this will make it easier for you on the defensive end."

"On the offensive end, you need to take more shots. You are the hottest guy in the game. We need you to lead us to victory!!"

"And Kaili, it's up to you to decide. I only have one request, and you can't force it!!"

After hearing the coach's arrangement, Jiang Hu nodded heavily.

Jianghu couldn't be more pleased with Stevens' arrangement.

The defensive end assigned him the lightest defensive task of guarding Love, but the offensive end also asked him to take more shots???

He is simply a nanny-level coach.

Such a coach is hard to find even with a lantern.

Stevens' guess is:

At the beginning of the second half, the Cavaliers are likely to attack Jianghu and try to defeat him. Even if they don't defeat him, they will still consume his physical energy.

In this case, as long as they are arranged in advance, they can avoid the Cavaliers' targeting and allow Jianghu to focus more on the offensive end.

In the Cavaliers locker room, Tyronn Lue's arrangement was very simple: "LeBron, you still need to strengthen your breakthroughs."

"I will let Kyle (Korver) come on in the second half to help you open up space."

"And Kevin, you need to increase your rebounding efforts and go to the basket more. Their inside height is not high. This is our advantage. LeBron made good use of it in the first half. You have to take advantage of this too."

Article."

"Remember, we don't have an open three-point opportunity every moment, but every rebound is a 50% chance for us."

"If we fight hard, we may become 60%. If we don't fight, we will only have 200%."

"Do you understand? Everyone!!"

"Understood!!!"

"Du~"

As the red light and whistle sounded at the same time, the second half of the game continued.

The Celtics lineup remains unchanged.

The Cavaliers replaced Wade with Korver.

He didn't play a minute in the first half, but he played in the second half. There is no doubt that Tyronn Lue has never doubted the stability of Korver's shooting.

In fact, this white pure shooter with a career regular season three-point shooting percentage of 43% rarely fails to live up to the trust of his coach in the regular season. He is like a universal USB, plug and play is his greatest feature.<

/p>

In the first round of playing, he successfully used a catch-and-shoot jumper around the screen to help the Cavaliers chase the point difference to 5 points.

Immediately afterwards, Kyrie Irving broke through the basket and missed a layup. LeBron James counterattacked and scored two more points, closing the point difference to 3 points.

Celtics 60 to 57 Cavaliers.

In the first half, the Celtics led by up to 14 points, but were chased by the Cavaliers to within one goal.

"Ahem~"

When Kyrie Irving passed by Stevens, Stevens coughed twice and then touched his earlobe.

Tactical secret language - change the focus of attack.

Irving, who had just arrived, did not dare to offend the head coach. When he came to the frontcourt, he gave the ball to Jianghu, preparing to go to the bottom corner.

"Come back to Kaili!!" Jiang Hu shouted.

"Give me a pick-and-roll!!"

Jiang Hu pointed at the top of the arc.

"what??"

Owen had an expression of disbelief...

What position are you in, and you want me to pick and roll you??

What??Number One Scholar??

Just this once, never again...

Irving half-pushed and stood at the top of the key, setting up a pick-and-roll for Jianghu.

James did not choose to switch defense this time, but chose to bypass the pick-and-roll and pursue Jianghu.

After Irving finished the pick-and-roll, he did not stay still. Instead, he moved downwards and drew Rose's defensive attention.

Facing James' pursuit, Jianghu has a positional advantage.

When he reached the mid-range, he made a decisive pull-up jumper.

"Bang~" The basketball hit the board and went into the basket.

Celtics 62-57 Cavaliers.

"At the critical moment when the Cavaliers continue to chase points, it's Jianghu again, stand up and stabilize the position!!"

"He used his performance to tell his teammates that I am worthy of trust!!"

The game continued, Kyle Korver once again used the screen to catch the ball and throw it.

The basketball bounced inside the basket and finally fell out.

"Ah..." The Cavaliers fans at the scene also let out a pityful sigh.

Jianghu collected the rebound and continued to attack.

"Pick and roll, Kyrie."

At the top of the arc, Jianghu once again called for Irving's pick-and-roll.

Owen wanted to refuse in his heart.

But Jiang Hu’s pious eyes and the gaze of the head coach on the sidelines made him unable to refuse...

So he stood over again.

It’s almost the same script as the last time, James goes around the screen, Irving goes down...

"Kelly."

Just as he was going down to the free throw line, Irving heard a sound and the basketball bounced towards him from the floor...

There was no time to think too much. Irving caught the ball and made a right-hand throw. Rose in front of him still didn't react.

"Shua~" The basketball hit the net accurately.

Celtics 64:57 Cavaliers.

It wasn't until the basketball entered the basket that Irving looked at his hands in disbelief and recalled the catch just now.

"This angle, this strength..."

"It's so comfortable..."

CCTV’s commentary voice sounded again:

"Jiang Ou pick-and-roll, the second time in a row, this time Jiang Hu passed to Irving, and he scored with a throw."

"What a coincidence, in these two rounds, the four pick-and-roll players and the four No. 1 picks came together."

"Yes, a four-person duel full of talents."

The game continued, James continued to break through, stopped the ball in the low post facing Horford's defense, and soon ushered in the Celtics' attack.

James has so much experience facing double teams that he passed the ball to the outside without haste.

Derrick Rose received the ball and faced Irving, he had the opportunity to directly take a three-pointer, but he did not take it.

Instead, he passed Irving in one step and made a small throw from the mid-range.

Celtics 64:59 Cavaliers.

After scoring, Rose and James high-fived in celebration, with a satisfied smile on their faces.
