Chapter 724 Constantly Falling Behind, Leadership Role

Chapter 724 Constantly Falling Behind, Leadership Role

James who can score three-pointers?

What state is this?

James, who can shoot three-pointers, is unstoppable.

With just two goals, James went crazy.

When Nurkic's next mid-range shot missed and Kevin Love hit the rebound, James went straight to the fast break, and Kevin Love made a long pass, which landed on James precisely.

Rudy Gay took a step behind him and watched James score with a dunk.

After James dunked, he looked up to the sky and roared, and Cleveland was full of joy at home.

The momentum of the Cavaliers rose.

The most obvious thing is that when Qin Yang attacked again and tried to score to stabilize the situation, Kevin Love directly fouled and held Qin Yang back.

Although Qin Yang made 2 of 2 free throws, the effect was completely different.

Easy scoring will cause the Cavaliers to have an anxiety, that is, no matter how they play, they cannot prevent the Mavericks from scoring. Their own defense is useless, but direct fouls will give teammates an impression that they would rather foul than let you score.

The game suddenly fell into a one-sided state.

The Cavaliers attack.

James passed to Irving, Irving caught the ball for a layup, and made a light layup under the basket.Gobert became the backdrop.

The Mavericks attacked, Qin Yang passed to Rudy Gay, and Rudy Gay made a three-pointer before James' defense was in place, but the three-pointer hit the iron.

Tristan Thompson gets the rebound.

James attacked and passed to Love after the pick-and-roll. Love took the ball, squeezed Qin Yang to force a shot, and scored a mid-range shot.

The Mavericks attacked, and Qin Yang made a three-pointer again.

Fortunately, Nurkic grabbed an offensive rebound and was fouled again by Kevin Love.

The Mavericks called a long timeout.

This is just less than 5 minutes into the game.

Coach Carlisle didn't say anything after the timeout, but just gave his teammates time to rest and soothe the team's emotions.

The Cavaliers have gained momentum during this period, and if they continue to play, the point difference will become wider and wider.

In this way, maybe the Mavericks buried a big hole that was filled in one quarter, which is very embarrassing.

Although it was predicted before the game that the game would be more difficult, the Cavaliers would definitely attack desperately at the beginning, but no one expected it to be like this.

The game starts soon.Neither lineup has changed.

Nurkic made a free throw.

The Cavaliers attacked again.

James took the ball to attack, and with the help of Kevin Love's cover, he broke through directly, carried Nurkic to the basket, and accelerated his layup.

Nurkic was a step slower and was picked by James to score.

The Mavericks attacked, and Qin Yang was strong again. This time, Qin Yang flew up again, broke through and retreated, carried JR Smith, and then broke through Tristan Thompson's defense in the European Division and scored a layup.

The goal was brilliant, but not very useful.

Turning back the Cavaliers Irving made a shot and James Ennis fouled.

The game situation is still unpredictable.

The Cavaliers' offense was too brutal to stop, and James Ennis had to foul.

It's not a good choice, but definitely not wrong.

The Mavericks attacked, Qin Yang continued to play singles, attracted double-teams and then passed to Rudy Gay, Rudy Gay passed to the open James Ennis.

Ennis made a mid-range shot.

The Cavaliers attacked, and James was still attacking wildly.

This time, James unexpectedly threw the ball to Tristan Thompson, who jumped up from the basket and scored a dunk.

The momentum of the Cavaliers has completely risen.

Can't stop it.

Fortunately, at this time, the Mavericks were attacking, and Qin Yang shot a three-pointer directly past the half court and hit a super long-range three-pointer.

The Mavericks' sluggish momentum has recovered a bit.

The game continues.

James turned on the fury mode in the first quarter.

单节拿到14分3助攻，小牛队27-36落后9分。一节时间落后9分，这不是一个小的分差了。

Especially for the Mavericks who are used to leading, this quarter was very aggrieved.

During the break after the first quarter, Coach Carlisle stopped everyone.

"The game is as we imagined. The Cavaliers will not simply admit defeat. This will be their strongest offensive game. Next, stabilize the situation, don't panic, play steadily, and wait until the third and fourth quarters. We still have a chance to reverse."

Coach Carlisle talked about the preparations before the game at this time.

At that time, the team had expected it.

The Cavaliers will be desperate, and the opening lag is expected.

When the coach said this, the atmosphere of the team immediately improved a lot.

We have long expected that we will fall behind at the start, which is nothing, and then we will reverse the score at the end of the game as we thought.

This is a psychological hint, and Coach Carlisle uses it very slickly.

The status of the players recovered a little, and Coach Carlisle started to make substitutions.

PJ Tucker replaced James Ennis and Nowitzki replaced Nurkic.Qin Yang is still on the court to lead the team's offense.

This is impossible.

If Qin Yang does not play, the Mavericks are likely to be defeated in the second quarter.

Time passes quickly.

Sure enough, James is still on the field, and James is still fierce in the second quarter.Just take the ball and do it, just right.

PJ Tucker's defense is also good, but facing James, no one dares to say that he will be able to defend.

The Cavaliers' offense played very well.

Fortunately, the Mavericks are not weak. Qin Yang and Nowitzki cover, both of whom are super strong offensively, and it is easy to disrupt your Cavaliers' offense.

PJ Tucker got the point guard's chance to shoot, 4 of 3 in the second quarter, scored 9 points, and helped the Mavericks share the pressure.

The Mavericks scored 32 points in the second quarter, and the point difference widened to 10 points.

This is an acceptable difference.

In the second half, there are still opportunities.

During the halftime break, the atmosphere in the Cavaliers' locker room was much better. Although James had a straight face, he was not so murderous.

Richard Jefferson chatted with his teammates on the team and stabilized the situation.

To be honest, in the past two seasons, the Cavaliers' poor record is largely due to the serious problems in the locker room.

The Cavaliers locker room lacks a leader.

It's not the leader of the team, it's the leader of the locker room.

In the past, the leader of the locker room was Big Z. Big Z had played for the Cavaliers for many years and had great prestige and confidence.

But now the boss in the locker room is James.

James has no problem playing, is very strong, and has a strong ability to lead the team, but being the leader of the locker room is fine.

There is no necessary relationship between the team boss and the locker room leader.

Generally speaking, what the locker room leader needs to do is to mediate the team's internal disputes and help the players relieve their psychological pressure.

Anyone who has psychological pressure does not want to go to a psychiatrist, but to find a friend to solve it.

NBA players have few friends, and teammates are friends.

Without a good locker room leader, it is difficult to control the team's competitive state.
