Versatile Point Forward

Chapter 436

It is also a clear separation of offense and defense. The Blazers have a much greater advantage than the Heat, because they have other people who can score after defending James and Wade. What's more, Chalmers and Battier can only do a little bit of icing on the cake.

Although Batum looks nervous and his outside shooting percentage is not particularly high, don't forget that there is Roy beside him.

It is not unreasonable for Roy to be known as the "Yellow Mamba" before he was injured. Although he does not have the physical fitness of the "Black Mamba" Kobe, he can be compared with Kobe in terms of golf quotient and desire to win.Moreover, with a tough personality, he can guarantee his level on the court when facing the most intense and exciting game like the tiebreaker of the finals. When Ye Feng focuses on defense, it would be great if he can instigate the team's offense But that's all.

The Heat also tried to get Bosh up high to shoot, but the Blazers made up for the lack of numbers on the perimeter by forcefully relying on their movement speed and tenacity.In fact, McMillan is afraid to let Hickson defend. Any team will be very passive on the defensive end. If even he pulls up to defend Bosh at a high position, the Blazers' basket will be completely empty, from the outside to the inside. The distance is obviously much longer than the distance between the outside line and the mutual marking.

It is precisely because of this that he intends to let the current lineup stay on the court longer, and the current speed on the outside is basically enough to deal with the Heat.So what if you put five guys on the perimeter?Using footsteps and switching defenses can still barely achieve four defenses and five defenses. In addition, Hickson guards the basket, so let's get tired a little bit!

But the Heat are obviously not reconciled, especially James and Wade, the two superstars who are heavily guarded. Although Matthews and Ye Feng have already defended well, the superstars want to make the impossible possible. , Moreover, with their abilities, it is not impossible to break through the opponent's defense.

Soon James and Wade thought of the simplest and most effective method, which is the pick-and-roll tactic.Generally speaking, the pick-and-roll is a cooperation between the inside and the outside, but James can completely cover for Wade. After the pick-and-roll, it is a good choice to attack the basket or pop out to shoot.

Of course, with James' physical fitness, he will definitely choose to go down. His steel body like a small tank is basically unstoppable as long as he charges up. It is normal to play a few dunks after going down. , Pop it out, you have to test his shooting level.

James is still very confident in his physical fitness. After the pick-and-roll, he chooses to attack the basket continuously. Although Hickson is a little taller, he is actually almost the same in strength. Squeeze aside and finish scoring.

But James didn't expect that Matthews, who was in charge of defending him after the switch, also had a tenacity. Even if he knew he couldn't defend, he had to make a final effort, and even interfered with several of James' layups.Although he himself paid the price of two fouls, he also forcibly gave James a hot pot.

Matthews' spirit of never giving up also inspired his teammates, and everyone became more active on the defensive end.Especially Hickson, who is short in height, completely turned the Blazers' basket into a no-fly zone, forcing the Heat to try their hand outside the three-point line.

Now the Heat are confused. Wade is not good at shooting three-pointers. The three-pointers of Battier and Chalmers can only be used as a small supplement, not reaching the level of three-pointers at all. Shi did hit a few three-pointers, but they were quickly blinded by Batum's deliberate interference.

No way, the outside offense can only be handed over to James. Although his three-point shooting percentage in the regular season is only 34.8%, and so far in the playoffs, it is only 35.5%, but now it seems that he is already the most reliable of the Heat team. The three of them broke up, who else could they rely on?
James' first two three-pointers hit the frame. His dark face was expressionless. It is difficult for a person like him to blush on the court. Almost all top players have extremely strong self-confidence.However, his ability to adjust is indeed very strong, and he made a hollow hit on the third shot, which aroused a burst of boos from the fans at the scene.

But when it comes to three-pointers, the Trail Blazers are at a higher level than the Heat, and there are more three-point shooters.Now their lineup is very suitable for attacking from the outside. Hickson is responsible for grabbing rebounds inside, and the others are lined up on the outside.

Compared with James' difficult situation alone, it can be said that it rained three-pointers on the Trail Blazers side. A series of three-pointers made the Heat dizzy. Reloading, invisibly greatly increased the number of shots taken by the Blazers.

Such a scene made James a little sad. He thought of his years in the Cavaliers. At that time, he was the same person who supported a team. Although he brought the Cavaliers to the finals, he was inevitably swept away. This is the real reason he left.

But now there are so many excellent teammates around, do we still have to repeat the experience of the year?This is something he will never allow.

As a representative of the league's point forward, James' ability to organize the team's offense is undoubtedly top-notch. He didn't think about continuing to score, but instead planned to rely on passing to drive his teammates. This is why he has been criticized by many commentators. aspect of criticism.

Indeed, Americans advocate individual heroism. In their view, a top star in the league like James should take over the team's offense and defense at critical moments instead of making himself more selfless.As the saying goes, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. Everyone hopes that James will play "selfishly", but he turned a deaf ear to it.

The same is true for this game. It stands to reason that only James can score in the entire team. He can completely take over the team's right to fire, but he just wants to organize the offensive firepower of his teammates when he opens the situation. Instead of continuing to attack with the ball.

Seeing James pass the ball to Bosh who was open without hesitation, a smile flashed in Ye Feng's eyes. Maybe he is the only one in the arena who understands James, because he is also such a player, the so-called point forward, Isn't it the point guard on the front line?If you can't organize the team's offense, what kind of point guard is it?
