Chapter 378 The future is yours
With Zhou Yao's three-pointer.
The Bobcats also recovered from their opening flurry.
In fact, James has also been active here.
Throughout the first quarter, the two sides fought back and forth.
The Cavaliers' shooting percentage is higher.
However, without Big Z and Gooden, the inside line will always suffer some losses.
Speaking of which, if you beat the Bobcats, you'll actually suffer from the inside, and the Cavaliers are unlucky enough.
Fortunately, James also used all his skills in this game.
Strictly speaking, James' rebounding ability is also extremely strong among small forwards.
In fact, it can be said to be the only one in the league today.
But even with James, the Cavaliers' inside line is still at a disadvantage.
The Cavaliers have been looking to open up the score.
But all without success.
……
On to the second quarter.
The Cavaliers' substitutes performed well.
Before halftime.
Spoelstra had to send JR to the court again.
But it didn't have any effect.
In other words, JR's appearance had some counter-effects.
Missed two consecutive three-pointers.
What's even worse is that JR was distracted on the court again.
During halftime.
48: 64.
The Cavaliers actually won by 16 points.
……
Go back to the locker room.
All the knights and generals looked satisfied.
Only James and head coach Mike Brown remained calm.
The Cavaliers got off to a good start today.
However, the score has never been opened.
In the second quarter, it was obvious that the Bobcats' substitutes were a little slack.
Also, after winning so many games in a row, most people will become a little slack.
The most important thing is that JR's performance when he returned to the court was a little too hurt.
The Cavaliers also took this opportunity to widen the point difference to double digits until they opened up by 16 points.
But from beginning to end, Zhou Yao stayed off the court to rest.
Zhou Yao was not injured.
Moreover, Zhou Yao's physical fitness has always been fine.
He averaged 37.2 minutes per game this season.
Definitely not too much.
At least, among stars of his level, not many.
James himself averages more than 40 minutes per game.
Zhou Yao only played 40 minutes in the last game.
Moreover, that was only 3 days ago.
It is absolutely impossible for Zhou Yao to lack physical strength.
That is to say, although the Bobcat was beaten, it didn't look like it.
But there is still some energy left.
……
Back from intermission.
Sure enough, the Bobcats started to fight back.
Zhou Yao stole Eric Snow and scored a layup himself.
Even so, Snow fouled.
51: 64.
The knights attack again.
Snow passed the ball to James.
As a result, it was cut off by Zhou Yao again.
Then assisted Peja to score.
53: 64.
Immediately afterwards, sometimes Snow passed the ball to James.
It was cut off by Zhou Yao again.
Assist Peja again.
56: 64.
Three steals in a row.
James even doubted whether Snow had received black money from Zhou Yao.
Of course, if you think about it, you know this is impossible.
Snow is a native of Ohio.
Moreover, this is almost his last contract.
Snow is not the kind of guy who is easily bribed.
Besides, Zhou Yao probably didn't bother to bribe Snow.
Moreover, Zhou Yao is also the strongest stealer in the league.
It can only be said that Zhou Yao used all his strength.
And Snow is the unlucky guy.
……
Mike Brown called a timeout.
Stealed 3 times in a row.
If a timeout is not called, the players may not dare to pass the ball or dribble.
Especially Snow, the main point guard.
……
The game restarts.
This time, James finally caught the pass.
Score the ball after the breakthrough.
Larry Hughes made a mid-range shot.
56: 66.
The point difference returned to 10 points.
Bobcats attack.
JR shoots and hits the iron.
James grabs the rebound.
Pass to Marshall.
As a result, the ball was taken away by Zhou Yao again.
Then pass it to JR.
Hit the iron again.
This time, Zhou Yao got the rebound.
Dunk.
58: 66.
……
James is depressed.
This is already the fourth steal.
Moreover, the big screen also replayed every interception of the ball.
It's clean and there's nothing wrong with it at all.
Zhou Yao also had one steal each in the first and second quarters.
That’s 6 times.
before this game.
Zhou Yao has already made 115 steals this season.
Before this season, Zhou Yao, who had only played 4 seasons, had already had 1417 steals.
Today, Zhou Yao's total number of steals is approaching Larry Bird.
It has been predicted a long time ago.
As long as nothing unexpected happens, Zhou Yao's total number of steals will definitely surpass Stockton's 3265.
By the way, this guy has been in the league since he entered the league.
Except for the season when he didn't play a game due to injury, he never let the steals leader fall.
Even if he was stabbed 35 times in 13 seconds last season.
Even after missing 22 games, he still leads the league in steals.
In addition, he is also the record holder for steals in a single game.
James was even thinking that this guy wouldn't want to push up the steal record today.
……
anyway.
James didn't want to lose this game.
The last game we won by so many points was overturned.
In this game, they led by 16 points at halftime.
He didn't want to be overturned again.
In the third quarter, James began to take the initiative to assume the responsibilities that a boss should bear.
Let your teammates do what they can do as much as possible.
If his teammates can't do it, James will choose to do it himself.
The entire third quarter.
James got 6 rebounds and sent 5 assists.
Frequently breaks inside to create more opportunities for teammates.
James finally got something.
The scores of both sides rose alternately.
Several attempts by the Bobcats to close the score were unsuccessful.
……
In the fourth quarter.
The competition became more intense.
Attacks the basket frequently.
It can indeed create more opportunities for teammates.
Moreover, it is easier for opponents to get fouled.
But this also consumes a lot of James' physical strength.
Moreover, he often has to fight for rebounds.
Among the small forwards currently in service, James is indeed the best at rebounding.
But after all, he is not a real inside player.
Moreover, when it comes to rebounding ability.
He is not as good as Zhou Yao.
more importantly.
The game is played to the end.
The other members of the Cavaliers began to be unable to catch up with James.
Even Larry Hughes is starting to show signs of fatigue.
At the last moment, Zhou Yao made several consecutive steals, completely destroying the Cavaliers' hope of winning.
Even if James grabbed a career-high 20 rebounds, it would not help.
Instead, it looked a little pale.
On the other hand, Zhou Yao's 14 steals will obviously make the headlines tomorrow.
Looking at James who was a little exhausted, everyone could see his efforts.
Fans can only say that Xiao Zhan tried his best and his teammate CBA.
Moreover, this time they were particularly confident.
……
"The future is yours!"
Zhou Yao patted James on the shoulder.
And James felt that these words seemed familiar.
But to be honest, James didn't like this sentence.
And he is only more than 4 months younger than Zhou Yao...
