LeBron James, your house got robbed.

During the suspension, TNT television station.

Barkley, known for his outspokenness, directly mocked, "Shaq, what do you think of the current score?"

"Before the game, you confidently told me that the Heat would win by at least 20 points?"

O'Neal retorted, "Don't rush it, didn't you see James hasn't exerted himself yet? He's just adapting to his new role."

As Chen Shuo predicted, the Heat kept James on the court to lead the substitutes.

Spoelstra made a bold move, sending in DeShawn Stevenson and James Jones, two forwards who could stretch the floor on the perimeter.

Meanwhile, by keeping 3D point guard Chalmers on the court, they managed to create three spacing options, which, together with Haslem, formed a lineup of one big man and four small men.

Spoelstra understood that this seemingly luxurious starting lineup was not actually that compatible.

The Big Three's sweet spot is concentrated in the area above the free-throw line and the two horns.

Bosh's greatest strength lies in one-on-one play in the Bullshort plane.

Wade's habit of catching the ball barehanded is to initiate the play from the corners.

For James to be a threat on the rim, he needs to initiate the attack from the top of the key, clearing the middle of the court and leaving enough space for the ball to run.

On the other hand, the opposing team could easily pack two or more forwards in the middle, with Chandler standing tall behind them.

When the team is on offense, it looks like a bunch of burly men are fighting hand-to-hand around the free-throw line, it's incredibly crowded.

On the contrary, the bench lineup is more suitable for James' performance.

After the timeout ended, James returned to the court and was surprised to find Ariza harassing him from the backcourt.

The opposing team did field their reserve lineup, but the defender in front of me was even stronger. What's the underlying principle behind this?

James, looking completely bewildered, couldn't shake off Ariza's entanglement and had to let Chalmers receive the ball.

He then moved down to the midfield position, assuming a position to ask for the ball. Chalmers quickly passed the ball and then made a run to draw the defender away.

James noticed Jones in the corner. If Battier came up to help defend, he could pass the ball and there was a high probability that he would add an assist to his stat sheet.

However, as it turns out, James was completely overthinking things.

Battier made no attempt to help defend, allowing James to back down the ball and face Ariza.

James tried to feel Ariza's back, but found that Ariza had left him half a step and positioned himself closer to the basket, blocking his route to the basket.

How did Hakeem teach him again? Lower your center of gravity, sway, half-turn, fake throw. Ariza almost burst out laughing after the whole routine.

But they remained in their defensive positions, determined to stop James from driving to the basket.

James's expression darkened.

This script is wrong.

Seeing that there wasn't much time left on the shot clock, James didn't care about anything else. He dribbled, turned around, and pulled up for a shot.

"Duang—"

The basketball bounced off the front rim and landed in Thomas's hands under the basket.

Gilbert was completely overwhelmed by that gorilla dance, and he didn't even bother to pretend in front of the camera.

Even Chen Shuo was a little helpless; this was indeed not James's forte.

Chen Shuo turned to Gilbert and continued explaining:

"Although he didn't learn the Dream Shake, for him, learning to gather the ball and turn around for a jump shot is enough."

"Moreover, his shooting from this position will continue to improve, and defenders will have to come up and fight him physically, entering James's advantageous area."

James' strengths are so outstanding that even if his weaknesses are slightly compensated for, he becomes very difficult to deal with.

It can also be considered a way to overcome skill with force.

As the two were talking, Jeremy Lin dribbled the ball and quickly drove across half-court.

However, the Heat's lineup of one big man and four small men has a very fast defensive transition speed.

Jeremy Lin had no choice but to slow down and find teammates to play positional warfare.

Jamison was struggling to stay in James's clutch position. After some probing, Jeremy Lin couldn't find a suitable passing lane and gestured for his teammates to move up for a screen.

Thomas, as a traditional blue-collar center, has solid fundamentals, sets effective screens, and doesn't rush to the basket.

After finding space, Jeremy Lin didn't hesitate at all, shook off Chalmers, and drove straight to the basket.

Seeing that James was poorly positioned for help defense, Jeremy Lin threw himself into the air, collided with James, and then threw the ball out, trying to draw a foul.

James collided with Lin from the side, which was clearly a defensive foul.

Unfortunately, Jeremy Lin, who was lying on the ground, did not hear the referee's whistle.

James initiated the attack with the ball, moving from the backcourt to the frontcourt and completing a fast break dunk.

Chen Shuo sat on the sidelines, shaking his head slightly.

Jeremy Lin is still too young. It's too difficult for someone like him, a fringe player in the NBA, to find fault with LeBron James.

NBA referees are just using a biased approach; it's considered basic procedure.

Unlike Paul's pick-and-roll logic, Jeremy Lin doesn't pause multiple times after a pick-and-roll to observe the overall situation and organize the offense; his goal is entirely to find a breakthrough route.

Although Jeremy Lin is an Asian point guard, he has excellent physical attributes and his first step when breaking through is quick and powerful.

The conventional way to develop an offense is through the American-style guard's approach of breaking through and passing.

During the period when the Knicks were on a roll with Lin, Jeremy Lin also initiated pick-and-rolls with Chandler.

The problem is that this style of play is simple and direct, making it easy for opponents to make mistakes and capitalize on counterattacks, which is exactly what the Heat, a team that likes to transition between offense and defense, do.

Scott stood on the sidelines and gave Jeremy Lin some instructions as he dribbled the ball past half-court.

After crossing half-court, Jeremy Lin and Trevor Ariza executed a simple pass, successfully getting the ball into Antawn Jamison's hands.

Jamison, facing James' defense, used his experience to successfully make a mid-range shot.

Chen Shuo's arms were crossed, which was enough to show the disadvantage of the lineup.

Leonard, Thompson, Ariza, and Battier are all excellent championship pieces.

However, a common problem is that they almost all lack the ability to independently develop offensive capabilities.

Leonard's self-development began in 13, and even if Chen Shuo intends to cultivate him, it will take at least until next season for him to take shape.

Thompson's offense relies more on off-ball movement, but Scott's playbook doesn't have many off-ball designs.

As for Ariza and Batistuta, throughout their careers, they served as finishers on offense.

In the entire roster, besides Paul, the only players with offensive development capabilities are Jeremy Lin and Antawn Jamison.

Jeremy Lin's performance fluctuates wildly, while Antawn Jamison, despite being known as an offensive kaleidoscope, has seen his abilities decline significantly at his age.

The subsequent matches proved this point.

The Cavaliers' offense stalled during the transition period.

Fortunately for the Heat, James didn't exert himself too much, but instead focused on training his post-up game.

Unfortunately, he picked the wrong opponent. His half-baked back-to-the-basket game against Ariza's defense failed to produce results. He needs to work on it further.

At the start of the second quarter, James went to the bench and was replaced by Wade and Bosh to lead the team.

Scott insisted on keeping Paul on the bench.

However, the Heat increased their defensive intensity, and Jeremy Lin made two consecutive mistakes on drives, allowing the opponent to easily launch fast breaks and narrow the gap to 5 points.

Scott stopped pretending and called a timeout two minutes into the second quarter.

With a wave of his hand, he brought Paul and Chandler back onto the court.

Scott understood the importance of this game, so he immediately pulled out all the stops and maximized the playing time of his starters.

Jamison played the entire first quarter and then went to the bench for a rest. Scott kept Battier on the court to play the power forward position, also using a lineup of one big man and four small men.

With Jamison gone, a weak link in their defense, the Cavaliers' defense is now at its peak.

Bosh began to lose his way under Battier's defense, failing to switch from a stretch big man to his full-back form, leaving the Heat to rely solely on Wade's isolation plays on the wings.

When James returned to the court, the score had widened to 10 points again.

Chen Shuo glanced at James's expression and then explained to the boss next to him:

"It's time to get serious."

"James made three moves: observing and probing from the top of the key; Wade contributed some output, but it wasn't enough to change the defense."

"The back-to-the-basket positioning is not yet fully developed and requires a lot of practice in matches."

"That leaves one last move: a drive and a pass. This means we're going all out."

Chen Shuo knew that James wouldn't let the point difference widen any further, and this game was equally important to him.

Gilbert is quite familiar with this tactic; in the past, the Cavaliers' offensive development relied entirely on James's drives.

This is also James' strongest form at present.

Chen Shuo kept his eyes fixed on the field.

After a busy off-season, the massive gorilla-hunting formation we've built is finally ready to face the challenge.

This has a significant impact on the team's direction throughout the season.

Apart from the Heat, the Cavaliers have no rivals in the East.
