Chapter 212 Double Kill Cavaliers
After returning from the timeout, the Cavaliers still couldn't open up the situation on both ends of the offense and defense.
Under the entanglement of Li Xuan's death, it is difficult for James to break into the basket and score. He can only rely on long-range jumpers to score and narrow the point difference.
But this can only be drinking poison to quench thirst. As James' physical strength declines, his already unstable shots hit iron one after another.
After James' shooting percentage dropped, the rest of the Cavaliers failed to stand up to help him share the offensive pressure.
Moreover, in order to limit the defensive counterattack of the Mavericks, the Cavaliers only had the big Z who could not retreat to grab offensive rebounds, and the rest gave up rushing for rebounds and quickly retreated back. This caused the Cavaliers to get less second offense. There are very few of them.
In addition, the new aid Walker made a fool of himself, which made the already disadvantaged Cavaliers even worse.
Under such circumstances, the Mavericks seized the opportunity, scored consecutively, and quickly opened up the point difference.
The Mavericks have a variety of offensive tactics. Even the most basic pick-and-roll coordination can make the Cavaliers players unable to start.
They didn't have a player who could help defend quickly, which allowed Li Xuan and others to get good shooting opportunities.
This is one of the main reasons why the Cavaliers keep dropping points.
In this way, the halftime game ended, and the score displayed on the big screen was 62 to 46. The Mavericks entered the second half with a 16-point lead.
After a short 15-minute intermission, the second half officially began.
At the beginning of the third quarter, the Mavericks had the ball.
After Li Xuan and Nash completed the pick-and-roll cooperation, they cut into the basket, received a wonderful pass from Lao Na, jumped into the air, and dunked the ball into the basket with one hand.
"Good shot! The Mavericks' pick-and-roll coordination is perfect. Even if the opponent knows how to run, they can't defend. They have too many choices." Kenny Smith commented pertinently.
Looking back, the Cavaliers attacked.
James used the double screen to get rid of Li Xuan's defense, broke into the penalty area, and scored a layup relying on Dirk Nowitzki's tough layup.
"LeBron played the ball very resolutely. It seems that they took a lot of time to redesign their offensive and defensive tactics during the halftime break." Barkley analyzed.
On the court, Nash dribbled the ball to the outside of the three-point line and found that the Cavaliers had changed their defensive strategy.
This is a temporary defensive strategy formulated by the Cavaliers during the halftime break.
Cavaliers coach Silas decided to use two-three defenses, which not only strengthened the defense in the penalty area, but also helped protect defensive rebounds.
In the first half of the game, the Cavaliers lost too many points inside, and the Mavericks easily cut into the basket to score. At the same time, they lost a lot of offensive rebounds, allowing the Mavericks to frequently play second offense.
Silas also knew that the Mavericks ranked first in the league in three-point shooting percentage, but he had no choice but to choose one of the two and restrict one of them to have the possibility of winning.
Therefore, such a risky defensive method will be adopted.
Back in the game, Nash smiled when he saw this defensive style, then waved and called his teammates.
Li Xuan quickly stepped forward to cover, blocking McGinnis who wanted to go up and interfere.
After Nash got rid of the defense, he immediately took off and shot a three-pointer.
Bang bang!Fight with anger!
Seeing this, Nash shook his head slightly and sighed.
The opportunity had come and he failed to grasp it,
"Hey! The water is too deep, I have to ask Li to swim."
At the basket, Big Z protected the backcourt rebound and passed it to James to dribble forward.
On the sidelines, Cavaliers coach Silas was relieved to see that the defense was effective.
As long as the Mavericks' outside shooting percentage is too low, the Cavaliers have the possibility of winning.
In the Mavericks' half, James repeated his old tricks, using double screens to break through to the basket.
Li Xuan retracted the penalty area ahead of time, blocking James' breakthrough route.
Seeing this, the rookie Zhan immediately gave the ball away.
McGinnis, who was standing in the right corner, received the pass and immediately took off to shoot.
Nash immediately pounced on the interference to no avail.
Swish!Hollow into the net!
In the next round, Nowitzki hit the iron with a high jumper and missed.
After James grabbed the rebound, he quickly rushed forward.
Li Xuan wanted to chase but was blocked by Boozer, and cursed inwardly.
"Fuck! This guy is an eyesore."
On the other side, rookie Zhan rushed into the penalty area, leaning against Nash in front of him, ready to attack the frame.
Lao Na definitely couldn't stand it, and was ready to give it a go and cut the ball.
Clap!
Nash hit James on the back of the hand fiercely, but failed to break the ball.
"Beep!" The referee blew his whistle.
After the rookie Zhan heard the whistle, he was very smart and threw the ball to the basket, regardless of whether it made it or not.
Fortunately, the basketball bounced off the rim and rolled into the rim.
"Player No. 13 of the Mavericks fouled with a thug, the goal is valid, and an additional penalty is given." The referee gestured towards the technical table.
Nash consciously raised his hand and had no objection to the penalty.
"And-One! The Cavaliers are going to make a move. Let's see how the Mavericks deal with it." Barkley said with a smile.
He likes to watch such a big-score reversal best.
Amidst the boos all over the sky, James stood on the free throw line, withstood the pressure, made an additional free throw, and narrowed the point difference to only 10 points.
The old Nelson on the bench sat firmly on the Diaoyutai and did not panic. He believed that the players on the field would solve the problem.
The ball is switched and the Mavericks attack.
After Nash cooperated with Li Xuan in the pick-and-roll, he passed the ball back.
After receiving the ball, Li Xuan, who was already ready to catch the ball, immediately pulled it up and threw the basketball in his hand, and at the same time triggered the [catch and shooter] effect.
McGinnis, who jumped up to interfere, felt very powerless, and couldn't help complaining in his heart.
"This nima's attack point is too high!"
"Shh!"
The basketball is hollow into the net and hits steadily!
"A good shot! On the key ball, Li Xuan has never missed a shot. The title of the king of lore is not for nothing." Barkley praised without hesitation.
The players of the Cavaliers didn't feel panicked, and they still played with tactics one by one.
This time, Boozer missed a mid-range jumper.
Li Xuan retreated to the basket to grab the rebound and pass it to Nash to advance.
After Nash received the ball, he ran towards the front court at the fastest speed, and after reaching the top of the arc, he slapped the ball to the right.
Li Xuan didn't care about James in front of him after receiving the ball, and immediately pulled up, triggered the skill, and threw the basketball in his hand.
The rookie Zhan didn't expect Li Xuan to be so decisive, and immediately rushed to interfere.
He didn't believe that Li Xuan's shots would be so accurate under the interference.
But it didn't take long to slap him in the face.
Swish!Hollow into the net!
"Beautiful! It seems that Li Xuan played with confidence. This shot is quite like a pig's heart, which is very damaging to the opponent's morale." Kenny Smith commented.
Relying on Li Xuan's two consecutive three-pointers, the Mavericks once again widened the gap and stabilized the situation.
The Cavaliers were also forced to request a timeout, interrupting the scoring momentum of the Mavericks.
After returning from the timeout, the effect was not satisfactory, and the Cavaliers still played very hard on the offensive end.
On the other hand, the Mavericks sounded the horn of the charge.
Nash, Finley, Nowitzki and others hit three-pointers from the outside one after another, further widening the point difference.
After the Cavaliers saw that the Mavericks made a three-pointer, they could only adjust their defensive tactics.
After the adjustment, the inside line fell again, allowing Li Xuan and others to do whatever they wanted in the restricted area.
Seeing that the point difference was getting bigger and bigger, James' desire to win was wiped out without a trace, so he took the initiative to apply for a rest.
He has almost played the full three quarters, and his physical exertion is too great, and he doesn't want to be injured when he is exhausted.
When James came off the court to rest, the Cavaliers blew up, and there was no room to fight back.
This is the huge gap between the league's No. [-] team and the fringe teams in the playoffs.
In this way, the Mavericks maintained their lead both in rotation time and starting time.
With the piercing beep, the game came to an end.
In the end, the Mavericks beat the Cavaliers 116-87 to avoid losing streak.

骑士队方面，詹姆斯上场42分钟，投篮24投11中，其中三分球3投1中，罚球6罚5中，拿到28分6篮板6助攻的全面数据。
大Z投篮18投8中，罚球4罚2中，得到18分10篮板的两双数据。
New aid Walker's debut in the Cavaliers was very poor. If it weren't for him, the Cavaliers would still have to fight the Mavericks until the fourth quarter to decide the winner.
在上场的36分钟内，沃克投篮17投6中，其中三分球4投1中，罚球4罚2中，得到15分2篮板的数据。
This is not a big deal, it is very normal to feel bad, but he actually made 6 turnovers, as a shooting guard, it should not be.
Therefore, the "undercover" Walker contributed a lot to the Mavericks' victory over the Cavaliers.
After the game, Li Xuan, as the best player of the game, was surrounded by media reporters.
"Li, congratulations on leading the team to victory."
"Thank you."
After congratulating the media reporters, they immediately entered the interview session.
"Lee, what do you think about Mutombo joining the Mavericks?"
"Uncle Mu has helped us a lot. We are very relieved to have him guarding the penalty area. He has very rich game experience and can help our young players grow rapidly." Li Xuan praised Uncle Mu's performance tonight.
"Then what is your goal this season? Is it a championship?" The reporter asked again.
"You should ask my coach this question, and he will tell you the answer. My task is to help the team win." Li Xuan didn't answer this question directly, and blamed old Nelson.
Afterwards, Li Xuan answered a few more irrelevant questions, and the post-match interview came to an end.
On the other side, Mutombo, who joined the Mavericks as a new aid, was also surrounded by a group of media reporters.
"Di Kembe, congratulations on your excellent performance tonight, can you talk about the feeling of joining the Mavericks?" the reporter asked.
"This team is great, they are very motivated, everyone knows what to do, and goes all out to help the team win. I like this atmosphere very much, and here I can play what I am good at." Uncle Mu replied .
"Through these few days of contact, who do you think the Mavericks get along with the best?" the reporter asked.
They thought Mutombo would say Nowitzki or Nash.
Because these two have a very good reputation in the league and have a gentle personality, they should be the best teammates to get along with.
But Mutombo's answer surprised the media reporters present.
"What! How could it be Li!"
In the hearts of media reporters, Li Xuan's image in the league is a typical thorn.
Although Li Xuan appeared personable in front of the media reporters, he was the truest self on the court, and he only disguised himself properly during the interview.
"Li is a very good teammate. He will tell me some precautions in the team, and he will spend his free time trying to help me integrate into the team." Mutombo sincerely commented.
Although the reporters couldn't accept it, they still recorded Uncle Mu's words very carefully. This topic is very controversial, and it may not become a hot spot.
At the same time, as another key figure in the game, James, who wanted to sneak back to the locker room, failed to escape the clutches of the media reporters and accepted the interview honestly.
"LeBron, you lost to Lee in the two matches this season. This will have a great impact on your competition for the best rookie, and may even become a decisive factor. What do you think of this issue?" the reporter asked.
James was speechless after hearing this.
These media reporters sprinkle salt on his wounds!
"It's normal to lose and win a game. If I have the same teammates as Lee, I think the ending may change."
"Also, I don't think the record is everything. Sometimes it depends on the data."
James realized that he had made a slip of the tongue, and without waiting for the media reporters to ask the next question, he squeezed through the crowd and walked towards the player tunnel, cursing inwardly.
"Fuck! I'm not happy about losing, and even came here to beat the corpse with a smile. I'm not used to you."
On the other side, in the Mavericks locker room.
"Li, thank you for sending me a few wonderful passes tonight, so that I can get good statistics in my first show, so that I won't be condemned by media reporters or fans." Uncle Mu came to Li Xuan's side and thanked him.
"Uncle Mu, you're welcome, we are teammates, this is what I should do." Li Xuan responded with a smile on his face.
"Then let's continue to cooperate like this in the next game. I will do my best to complete my task. You don't have to worry about me being old. I am still very reliable at critical moments." Mutombo joked.
"No problem." Li Xuan nodded in agreement.
When Uncle Mu was on the court, he still benefited a lot, and his scoring, assists, and rebounds all increased.
A fool would not agree to such a win-win situation.
Just after Li Xuan reached an ulterior PY deal with Uncle Mu, coach Nelson pushed the door in with the coaching staff.
According to the usual practice, some players were praised, and then a short post-match summary was made to point out some particularly obvious problems for the players to correct.
"Okay, that's all for now, hurry up and take a shower, go back and get a good night's sleep."
After the old Nelson finished speaking, he waved his hand, disbanded the team, and walked away with the coaching staff.
After Old Nelson left, the locker room became lively again.
Some players discussed where to play for a while.
Li Xuan didn't catch a cold, and didn't go to join in the fun. After saying hello to his teammates, he went to the shower to take a shower.
After taking a shower, Li Xuan, who changed into casual clothes, came to the parking lot and drove back home, ready to end this fulfilling day.
