Irving tries a breakthrough.
Then suddenly turned over.
Everyone thought that Irving was going to vote, but in the end he chose an internal pass.
Facing Gasol, Mozgov didn't know if he lacked confidence, so he threw the ball away without hesitation.
James, who was without the ball, also took this opportunity to suddenly run back and cut in.
Start directly.
The sneak attack came as expected.
But the Heat were well prepared for this, with Gasol sitting under the basket, Ibaka also shrinking in, and Batum also tightening the penalty area.
Coupled with Mozgov of the Cavaliers and PJ-Tucker chasing behind.
The entire paint area seemed extremely crowded.
Emperor Zhan took two steps and found to his embarrassment that he could no longer enter.
But if you want to pass the ball...
It seems that there is no absolute space for teammates.
In a dilemma, he made a decision.
Move sideways and jump, and shoot directly from the middle distance.
Bang!
Strike hard.
This kind of emergency stop jump shot is actually not my favorite offensive mode.
The middle distance is not my comfort zone of James King.
Therefore, it is normal to miss the iron shot.
But Xue Liancheng's eyes lit up slightly.
Does this mean that James' hand is not good in this game?
If so, that would be great.
Ibaka protected the rebound and found Xue Liancheng immediately.
The Heat's counterattack in defensive transition was very ferocious.
But because of Wade's absence, they lacked an arrow figure, and it was almost impossible to hope for easy scoring.
After all, James, Irving, and J.R. Smith are not slow and they retreated immediately.
But defensive transition and counterattack are not limited to fast breaks.
Taking advantage of the opponent's unstable footing to quickly complete a three-point pursuit is also one of them.
One of the Warriors' signature offenses is the chasing three-pointer.
Xue Liancheng also stole it and used it.
He rushed two steps away from the three-point line and suddenly accelerated, scaring Irving to retreat quickly.
Xue Liancheng took the opportunity to brake and jumped directly.
Raise your hand and shoot.
When Irving reacted and rushed to defend, Xue Liancheng had already completed his shot.
The ball spins in mid-air.
Swish.
Three out of three.
Xue Liancheng smiled at Owen and said, "How's it going? Is it okay?"
Owen replied expressionlessly, "It's okay, it feels good."
There was silence at the scene.
5:0
Faintly, they felt a bad premonition for no apparent reason.
Ok?
why?
It seems that in the last Christmas game, they were also beaten by the Heat at the beginning. Doesn't this start look familiar?
Ernie Johnson: "Xue has a good touch. It seems that the direction of this game will be very exciting as we expected."
O'Neal joked: "Xue seems determined to beat LeBron."
Barkley: "I hope Xue can continue to feel good. If he can compete with LeBron, it will be even better."
O'Neal said: "Based on these two rounds, it is difficult for LeBron to rise."
Barkley had a different view: "LeBron did very poorly in the Christmas game, but I think you should know him better than me. There is no doubt that he is powerful. It is not easy to successfully contain LeBron." thing."
O'Neal: "This is not necessarily true. All of us know that LeBron needs to start rushing in order to cause huge damage to the penalty area, but the Heat's defensive formation has caused great trouble to LeBron's breakthrough. PJ Tucker is a A powerful defensive gate with a very stable chassis, Ibaka's defense is very fast, and Gasol covers a wide range of the basket. In other words, if LeBron wants to break through to the basket, he needs to break through three barriers. At the moment, it’s not that easy.”
This explanation hits the nail on the head and points out the dilemma that I, Emperor James, are currently facing.
Although Barkley agreed, he reiterated his opinion: "Yes, now LeBron's way to get rid of Tucker is to not have the ball except pick-and-roll. Ibaka's assist defense and supplementary defense are also among the best in the league. Gasol is even more He is one of the best players in protecting the rim in recent years, but he is LeBron James, the most powerful player in the league. I have not seen any team that can completely contain him, let alone... Tower Although G is strong, he is too short. Although Ibaka has good physical talent and outstanding running and jumping ability, he is a little light in weight and is almost the same as James. Although Gasol has the tonnage, his speed and lateral movement are obvious. Slow down, these are their weaknesses, they are not invulnerable, I think LeBron will find a solution."
The rebuttal is quite reasonable.
In terms of James' draft evaluation, the fast ones are not as tall as him, the tall ones are not as strong as him, and the strong ones are not as fast as him.
What is Hexagon Warrior?
James is a hexagonal warrior on the basketball court.
While the two were arguing.
James has already beckoned to Mozgov and initiated a pick-and-roll.
After going around.
Suddenly, Gasol was found to be getting ready to welcome his arrival.
Although it is not a problem for James to face the frame hard, the problem is that he needs to start rushing to be invincible.
Now a player of Gasol's size was lying there, making him hesitate subconsciously.
But in the blink of an eye, he made a decision and gritted his teeth and started.
The speed is fast, and the action looks strong and powerful.
But Gasol was more than one step away from him, obviously trying to prevent penetration but not shots.
and so……
As a result, after James took a step, he had a fierce physical collision with Gasol before he could rush up.
As an inside player, Gasol has the tonnage, strong strength, and stable chassis. There is no doubt about it.
Although James is not weak in strength, he is far from comparable to Gasol.
and so.
After the meal, James' speed advantage was no longer so obvious. In addition, Gasol was smart enough to know how to exploit James, so James could only rely on pure brute force to push forward.
After taking two more steps, he found that he couldn't go any further.
Want to pass the ball?
However, he found that his breakthrough did not effectively tear apart the Heat's defense at all. Except for PJ Tucker's defense change, there was basically no change.
and……
PJ Tucker stuck his butt out to defend Mozgov, preventing Mozgov from getting into a favorable position.
How special...
Not getting into a good position, that is, not being ready to catch the ball.
Damn it!
Between the lightning and flint.
James gritted his teeth again and made a decision, taking even greater steps.
Although the speed advantage is not obvious, the advantage is still there.
End up at the basket.
He finally got stuck and jumped to the other side in an attempt to gain strength.
pity.
The area covered by Gasol's hand is too wide.
As a result, James had to turn his body and forcefully take off to stay in the air, like twisting a twist, and his shooting movement was directly deformed.
and so……
Bang!
Another shot of fine iron.
Gasol protected the rebound.
When retreating, James looked extremely ugly.
After the pick-and-roll, Gasol's strategy of letting go and not guarding the shot made his breakthrough extremely uncomfortable.
What makes him even more uncomfortable is that he has to force his shot under the basket after confronting a player of Gasol's size.
Doing so will obviously cause huge disruption.
This is not the offensive rhythm he likes at all.
What he likes is to rush...
The point is to rush...
After rushing up, he was not afraid even if he encountered confrontation.
The biggest fear is that if you don't rush forward, you will encounter a strong confrontation.
How unlucky.
Ok……
It's been two consecutive irons!
As the saying goes, some people are happy and some are sad.
Since some people are sad, there must be people who are happy.
And that person was naturally Xue Liancheng.
My brother James actually suffered a big loss under Gasol's strong defense. This proves that his original idea was correct and this deal was really worth it.
Why does James have a hard time meeting the Spurs every time?
that is because……
The defensive strategy I encountered with James was just like this round.
After the pick-and-roll, he defends against breakouts but not against shots.
Duncan also used his tonnage advantage to prevent James from rushing up. As a result, James could only force himself under the basket, unable to cause effective damage, let alone tear up the defense.
In 07, Duncan was at his peak. He had nimble feet, still had lateral speed, and his defensive ability was no worse than Gasol. It was this principle that made James' life worse than death.
In 13 and 14, Duncan was obviously much older and his pace had slowed down, but he still implemented this tactic.
At this time, James reached his peak. Although he scored some points, he was still unable to motivate his teammates. This is the reason.
If you are not allowed to rush up, you can only rush and score. If you have the ability, you can do it, but it will cut off your connection with your teammates.
To know.
The most powerful thing about James is not just breakthroughs, but his superb combination of breakthroughs and points.
Once there are only sudden hits and no points, the power played by James will decrease sharply.
Coupled with Leonard's full-court defense, it put a lot of pressure on James and made James very uncomfortable.
And now.
The Heat's defensive strategy is similar to that of the Spurs.
It also relies on the top inside defensive players to prevent breakthroughs but not shots, and the top power defense to lead the entire court to delay James' impact.
only.
The difference is that the two defensive giants will be replaced by Gasol and PJ Tucker from Duncan and Leonard.
of course.
It’s not like there’s no way to crack it.
If James doesn't call for inside players to pick and roll, then all problems can be solved.
Or when the opponent is trying to prevent a breakout but not a shot, he can simply retreat for a three-pointer. As long as he is accurate enough, a few three-pointers can disintegrate this defensive strategy.
But here's the problem.
Without the pick-and-roll, James might not be able to charge forward when he breaks through, not to mention that it would be equally uncomfortable to face a defensive gate like Leonard or P.J. Tucker.
Breakthroughs that cannot be made are as useless to James.
Without pulling the inside players out for pick-and-rolls, Gasol would be squatting in the penalty area, which would be equally uncomfortable for James.
As for three points?
This shit is one of my biggest weaknesses.
The three-pointer is unstable and can easily kill yourself.
and so……
This is definitely a headache for James.
Only when the state is good enough can we break the game with a crushing force.
But looking at it now...
The state of my great James is very average, very, very average.
This is why Xue Liancheng is excited.
If James is beaten again in this game, he will really be praised by countless fans.
The popularity may really reach the sky...
after all……
Our current position as the number one player in the league is still very secure, and although he is already on his way to the MVP, there is a huge gap between him and me in terms of qualifications and status.
If LeBron is beaten, the gap will be evened out immediately.
Think so.
He has already rushed to the frontcourt.
Also taking advantage of the fact that the Cavaliers' defensive formation was not yet formed, he wanted to replicate the quick scoring in the round just now.
But Irving is obviously not a fool. After lying on a puddle once, he will naturally not lie down again.
This time he followed Xue Liancheng closely and no longer gave Xue Liancheng any space to shoot.
But it's too tight.
It is easy to cause the two sides to have no sense of distance, and fast players can pass people in one step.
Xue Liancheng is not a speedy defender, but that doesn't stop him from seeing that Irving's defense is full of loopholes.
A body sways forward.
Crotch dribble.
Move Owen's center of gravity back.
Directly rely on strength and force a direct thrust.
Irving could only chase after him while stuck.
But the difference in tonnage and strength between the two was terrifying.
Owen's hanging on the wall basically did not have much impact on Xue Liancheng.
Coupled with the fact that the inside players on both sides failed to run back, the front was empty, and the Cavaliers players did not dare to really jump over to help defend.
finally.
Xue Liancheng directly forced himself on him.
2 points easily won.
Ernie Johnson: "Xue's strength advantage is too obvious. In fact, I still don't understand it now. With Xue's breakthrough efficiency, he shouldn't fall to the second round."
This kind of power and tonnage can crush all defenders. Even if the small forward comes to defend, he may not be able to get an advantage.
Scouts should be able to see these things.
O'Neal smiled bitterly: "The NBA draft selects talent and potential. After the talented players and potential players are selected, ready-to-combat players will be considered. This is why the Magic are willing to use the fourth pick to select Xue Liancheng's teammate Feng Lai. And the reason why I don’t want Xue Liancheng is, well...it’s perfect that I missed being an MVP-level player in just one rookie season.”
Magic was brought out again to whip the corpse.
The game continues.
Cavaliers attack.
In this round, James finally changed his strategy and came to the low post to ask for the ball.
Barkley: "LeBron's ability to adjust is very good, and he finally knows how to exploit Tucker's short stature to make a big difference."
O'Neal was stunned for a moment and looked at Barbakley, "Well...if I remember correctly, your height should be only 198cm. There may not be any inside players who can eat you alive in the low post."
At this moment, Buckley's expression brightened, and he was tongue-tied for a while, "Uh..."
The gap between the two talking.
James has already got the ball, pouted his ass and hit PJ-Tucker.
James' size, tonnage, and strength are indeed larger than Tucker.
But Tucker is not a vegetarian either.
His top defense is very strong, leaning forward, pressing all his weight up, converging into one point, and constantly putting pressure on James.
Besides.
Taking advantage of his short height, Tucker would hit his knees from time to time, which made me, King James, very uncomfortable.
There were several collisions.
Finally got close to the free throw line.
James combined the ball and moved left and right, trying to use his footsteps to shake Tucker away.
pity.
Tucker stood still.
I don’t know if it’s because James’ footwork is too bad, or if Tucker’s defensive awareness is too strong.
Anyway...
After working for a long time, James failed to find a favorable position.
He simply pressed his elbow, pushed against Tucker, and forced the throw.
He simply wanted to bully Tucker for being short.
The idea is correct.
But the effect is not good.
Blacksmithing again.
This time.
I, Emperor James, am not happy.
He jumped up and down and complained loudly to the referee.
Anyway, Xue Liancheng doesn’t know what I, Emperor Zhan, want to do.
Tucker just stretched out his hands and didn't even jump. The defensive action was quite clean, and Tucker's chest was even forced by the iron elbow of my great James.
If you want to call a foul, you should also call me James.
result.
Tucker hasn't complained to the referee yet, but I, James, got sick again and confidently asked the referee for the whistle.
Really are……
"If you don't take advantage, you will suffer" is engraved into the DNA of the gene.
Like a giant baby, he needs others to take care of him and others to let him go.
otherwise……
I, James, cried to the referee.
To be honest...
If someone else had complained to the referee and asked for a whistle like this, he would have been whistled for countless technical fouls.
It's your turn to show off...
Even if a player of Wade's caliber comes forward to make such a theory, he can only get a big warning.
result.
I, Emperor James, was stunned and it was okay.
He was even coaxed by the referee like a child. What a historical spectacle!
Of course Xue Liancheng had no time to pay attention to me, James, and quickly rushed forward while controlling the ball.
Once you see it, you won't be able to stop it.
In addition, James is not back, and neither are the inside players.
Owen immediately made a decision, and reached out to Xue Liancheng's waist.
This kind of ball must be fouled.
Xue Liancheng was already prepared. The moment Owen reached out to touch, he pulled it out and threw.
The whistle blows.
The ball goes in.
This time.
Owen was stunned.
And at this time.
My brother James finally came back and saw that Xue Liancheng not only scored a goal, but also got a foul.
My whole face turned green.
He did not glare at Owen, but gave Xue Liancheng a cold look, as if to say: Just wait, you are dead.
Xue Liancheng was happy and smiled at Irving: "You shouldn't have committed a foul. It's easy to take the blame."
The insinuation, the gun and the stick, the meaning can no longer be obvious.
Owen was stunned for a moment, but didn't say anything...
When I, Emperor James, heard this, I was furious. I went up to him and looked at him coldly, "What did you say? Say it again..."
Xue Liancheng twitched the corner of his mouth slightly, "I said some people are like crybabies. When they see their father, they will burst into tears at the top of their lungs. I don't know why..."
I lost...
Who are you scaring?
What he is least afraid of is being intimidated by others.
As soon as these words came out.
James was about to burst into tears, like a ferocious beast out of the cage, with a ferocious appearance that made people daunting.
But Xue Liancheng was not afraid at all: "Hey... why did you change your face? It's so amazing!"
I, Emperor James, am anxious again.
Don't know why.
He just feels happy...
