Chapter 65 Restricting James

When it was the Grizzlies' turn to attack, Yang Zhan also called the team's 4th position, and Lorenzen White stepped forward to pick and roll.

Yang Zhan, who rushed to the inside, faced Ilgauskas' supplementary defense, and Yang Zhan gave the open Gasol, who made a mid-range shot.

brush! 2 points and then go in.

Back, the Cavaliers attacked, James broke into the inside, and gave it to Larry Hughes on the outside, who made a fake shot.

Then he broke through to the inside and watched Larry Hughes who was near the free throw line. Yang Zhan made a quick move and cut the ball to complete the steal.

Eddie Jones, who had just been passed by Larry Hughes and was still outside the three-point line, saw this scene and quickly ran forward. Yang Zhan started with a long pass, and the latter dunked in the empty basket.

James once again called Gooden to pick and roll. The latter went inside, faced Gasol, and passed back to Gooden who followed behind. Boom, the dunk was successful.

With 3 minutes left in the first quarter, Yang Zhan was replaced by Nelson, and Yang Zhan, who was sitting on the bench, also saw the unreasonable match of the Cavaliers lineup.

James is not suitable, a big center in the interior, what he needs is space, like the later Lopez.

I don't know if the Cavaliers management really doesn't understand, or they can't get the players they want.

Also, Larry Hughes' style of play and role are similar to that of James, and his ability must not be compared with James.

In this way, his role will be compressed to a small extent, but if he is placed on the bench, it may have a miraculous effect.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Nelson sent out a running and bombing lineup again, and the Cavaliers also made changes.

They replaced the center with "Brazilian actor" Varejao, and replaced the point guard with Damon Jones, who is more accurate with 3 points.

What the two sides have to do is naturally to speed up. Due to the weak inside defense of the Grizzlies' running and bombing lineup, James has frequently succeeded in breaking through the inside.

But the good point is that these pitchers of the Grizzlies all have one characteristic, that is stability.

In contrast to the Cavaliers, Larry Hughes misfired, which caused him to receive a pass from James on the outside, and even if it was an open opportunity, he would choose to break through.

At this time, Larry Hughes, who received the pass, broke through again. Facing him who was double-teamed, he distributed the ball to the outside, but Yang Zhan had already judged it.

After breaking the ball, Yang Zhan ran forward, facing an empty basket, Yang Zhan didn't make a shot, and passed it to James Posey who had just reached the right corner.

The latter has averaged 5.9 shots per game from beyond the three-point line since the beginning of the season, and his shooting percentage is as high as 40.3%. He will not miss this opportunity when he faces an open space.

Three-point shot, brush!Hit!
In the next 5 minutes, James frequently succeeded in the interior, making 6 of 4 shots with extremely high efficiency, but the outside line was misfired.

If this is Kobe, it will be dangerous. If the poisonous snake is opened, it can feel the touch until the end of the game.

But if it is James, this is the result that all teams want to face James.

Because this violates James' basketball philosophy of prioritizing team efficiency, even if he keeps scoring, he will still feel uncomfortable.

Let him score, this is the only way to limit him tactically, who makes him too versatile.
