Chapter 106 Carter's Helplessness
In the final decisive battle, the Raptors held a 7-point advantage, and Limbo and James discussed and tried for another 3 minutes. If it still didn't work, then let's not continue today and find a way to win the game first.
In less than 3 minutes, the Raptors expanded the point difference again, turning the score into 79-68.
Last try, still the original recipe, still the original taste.
Limbo gave the top of the arc to James on the wing and moved behind James at the same time. When Limbo went to the bottom corner, James gave the ball to Eric Williams and moved to the top of the arc.
Eric Williams has two options at this time, one is to pass back to James, and the other is to pass to Limbo in the bottom corner.
Eric Williams did not hesitate, and gave Limbo the nearest one. Just as the defensive player was in position, Limbo suddenly drew his sword, no, suddenly shot a three-pointer.
With a sound of "shua", the basketball hit the net, Ling Bo's arms were still stretched out, and he was shooting the ball.
This moment was hard-won. After trying for a full 10 minutes, there were either mistakes or incoordination in the middle, and poor shot selection. This was the first real success of the three-person cooperation.It's not that they have been trying the triangle offense for the first 3 minutes of the third and fourth quarters. Of course, Limbo will also take care of the bald slugger and Newbell.
Eric Williams also made the right call.
"It's just passing the ball like this, it's great." Limbo said to Eric, and at the same time extended his thumbs with both hands to praise him.
This successful cooperation made Eric Williams more confident.
71 to 79, with a three-pointer, the point difference was instantly reduced to 8 points.
With the first time, there will be a second time. The Cavaliers' offense was smoother in the second quarter and the third quarter.
The Raptors still gave the ball to the inside. In the case of insufficient offensive skills in the center, Chris Bosh got more opportunities.
Bosh's back hit turnaround jumper is also a good player.
The two teams scored each other, and with 4 minutes left in the game, the Cavaliers were still three points behind.
During the timeout, the head coach didn't say much, and handed over the game to Ling Bo.
Paul Silas had a problem with Limbo in the past, and now he has complete trust, which was won by Limbo through one game after another.
Paul Silas discovered that even though the players could arrange some tactics by themselves at critical moments, it would be more comfortable for Limbo and LeBron to play by themselves.
In other words, the head coach gives a fixed idea, while Limbo can play freely according to the position of his teammates and the strength of the defenders to decide who to attack.
Even the Cavaliers' coaching staff has to admire Ling Bo, who can always make the right choice at critical times.
The five Cavaliers players formed a group, Ling Bo said so.
The timeout ended, the Cavaliers attacked, Limbo broke through with the ball, encountered the defense, broke out from the baseline and moved to the left. At the same time, James lay in ambush in the right corner, stepping on small steps and kept asking Limbo for the ball.
At the top of the arc, Eric Williams didn't wait for the inside line, and was supporting, taking the defensive Chris Bosh out of the penalty area.
Newbell also shuttled left and right, constantly running.
In this layout, Newbell is obviously a cover, and everyone can see it, so the Raptors ignored him and defended James heavily.
It's just that the Raptors overlooked one person, not Eric Williams who supported the outside line, nor James who ambushed the bottom corner, but Ilgauskas who was a pillar of the inside.
There are really many "s" for the Cavaliers.
Ling Bo was in the left corner, turned around suddenly, and passed the ball low to the bald man.
However, due to Ling Bo's sudden braking, Carter behind him couldn't brake in time and hit him head-on.Carter directly threw Ling Bo to the ground, thinking of a "ground thud".
Fortunately, Ling Bo turned his head when he fell to the ground, otherwise Carter would have snatched away the first kiss that had been cherished for many years.
It's okay, it's okay, otherwise it would be such a disgusting scene.
No one thought that the blue-collar Ilgauskas would become the terminator of this offense. The Raptors' All-Star center Antonio Davis was too late to react. It was too late when he wanted to organize the big Z , the basketball has entered the basket, and Antonio Davis also paid a foul.
This is Ling Bo's idea, an unexpected idea, letting an unexpected person to end this crucial attack can often achieve good results.
After scoring the goal, the bald man was not excited by the goal, nor did he provoke Antonio Davis because he got 2+1. His first thought was to help Limbo who fell to the ground.
"Are you okay, Ling?" Ilgauskas asked with concern.
"You forgot one of my nicknames, I'm Iron Man." Ling Bo replied with a smile.
The Cavaliers are most concerned about whether Limbo is injured, not LeBron James, nor Carlos Boozer, but Ilgauskas.
Because Limbo is the guarantee of Ilgauskas' double-double, Limbo will make cakes for him every game, except for the game when O'Neal stands in front of him.Now his scoring relies more on Ling Bo's passing offense. As a starter, he can average more than 30 minutes per game as a center, and the bald macho can average 10 rebounds per game, so whether he can score in double figures depends on how Ling Bo is. Feed the ball.
Ilgauskas walked to the free throw line happily, and made an extra penalty as expected, and the Cavaliers finally tied the score.
At this time, Carter was a little unconvinced. He was the flying man Carter, he was the slam dunk king and one of the top four shooting guards. In Toronto, how could he let a team led by two rookies take away the victory.
Carter advances one-stop, Chris Bosh picks and rolls high, Carter also picks the weak persimmons, and Eric Williams becomes the background board of the dunk king.
But in the next few rounds, Limbo made Carter experience a sense of despair.
Receiving the serve in the backcourt, stepping on Lingbo for four seconds to cross the field, and directly pulling up a three-pointer from the outside, let Carter directly bewildered, I was not ready to defend, how could he make a shot.
Too fast, too fast, too fast.
Carter wanted to retaliate with a three-pointer from the outside, but when he raised his hand to shoot, the basketball was picked up by Lingbo's Tanyun hand.
There was a scene of Limbo and Carter jumping the ball on the court. What surprised Carter even more was that he was a defender.Ling Bo's jumping was even better than him. Ling Bo, who jumped three feet, was the first to catch the basketball in the air.
After completing the steal, Ling Bo challenged Carter one-on-one again, making various ball-handling moves while dribbling forward.
The gentleman changed direction to open the distance, then turned around, spun with his back against Carter, and made a layup with a small jump.
Carter felt powerless again, really powerless. The four major shooting guards in the league were actually being played around by a rookie guard in a one-on-one duel.
His speed, weird pace, and rock-solid ball control, who can resist it.
In the end, the Cavaliers defeated the Toronto Raptors with a wave in the last 3 minutes.
At the end of the game, Carter looked at Ling Bo with complicated eyes, which finally turned into a sigh, shaking his head, with a helpless expression on his face.
