Chapter 189 The Big Man Charges

Milicic actually knows exactly where his problem lies. During his years with the Pistons, his confidence was worn down.

Even if he joins the Warriors now, his teammates always encourage him, but he obviously feels that he has not exerted all his abilities at all.

In the last round of the series against Yao Ming, he was completely suppressed.

With the cooperation of him and his teammates, Yao Ming was able to average a super shocking stat of 40+ per game, which severely woke up Milicic.

Wake up, you are still far from those super centers, you still need more effort.

Milicic motivates himself so much, which makes him find the feeling of challenging himself again.

When he was still in Serbia, he practiced desperately and did all the basic training tirelessly, because he wanted to leave Serbia, he wanted to stay away from the war, and constantly challenged himself, so he quickly got the attention of NBA scouts, And successfully joined the NBA as a genius.

Although the process after entering the NBA was not smooth, Milicic was not without pride in his heart.

But now Milicic is completely awake, proud?He is not qualified enough.

Seeing that the Cavaliers actually emptied himself, Milicic did not fly into a rage, he was very calm, and involuntarily recalled the basic knowledge of basketball that he had learned as a child in his mind.

That solid basic skill has been deeply rooted in his muscles, and the moment he raised his eyelids, he made a choice almost instinctively.

Charge with the ball!

The 213cm big man lowered his center of gravity and chose to accelerate without hesitation. With his long legs, he reached near the free throw line in one step, and rushed directly to the basket in the second step.

Ilgauskas' tall body was already in front of him, but Milicic was not afraid. He roared, grabbed the ball with his right hand and jumped up violently.

This is……

Dunk!

The 213cm big man used the style of a small forward to attack the inside of the Cavaliers and completed a dunk on the head of Lithuanian center Ilgauskas.

The weakness of Ilgauskas' lack of confrontation ability was completely exposed at this time. Although he was taller than Milicic, he didn't take advantage of any confrontation at all.

Especially when Milicic rushed up, Ilgauskas was completely at a disadvantage, and there was no way to stop Milicic who had already rushed up.

After landing, Milicic was expressionless, and just glanced at Ilgauskas who was barely standing: "Lithuanian softie, I'll blow you up!"

Ilgauskas is also an old fritter, and he won't lose his mind just because he was dunked once as a background board. He just shook his head lightly and didn't make any response.

The basketball court is a place where strength speaks, and if trash talk comes out, one must have the strength to do it.

Now that Milicic has the upper hand, he can certainly talk trash at himself as much as he wants.

The old Nelson on the sidelines jumped up excitedly, stood near the center line and stretched out his hand to Milicic who was running back, and said loudly: "Yes! Boy, that's right, you should play like this. This is what I have always done. Looking forward to seeing you."

Milicic clapped hands with Old Nelson, and the corners of his mouth hooked up unconsciously.

From being almost completely tired of basketball to finding joy on the court again, it is the teammates and coaches around me that have brought it all.

He quickly returned to his position inside, waiting for the Cavaliers to counterattack.

The Cavaliers' offensive rhythm is very slow. James slowly dribbled the ball across the half court. Although Ilgauskas and Wang Zhizhi were running, they were almost walking at the same speed as James.

The two didn't go directly to the inside. As soon as Wang Zhizhi got near the three-point line, he played a pick-and-roll with James.

Harrington hesitated for a moment, and chose to continue marking Wang Zhizhi.

Jackson also made the same choice as Harrington at this time, and James was emptied.

The tanks launched again and charged the Warriors inside.

If the ball was changed late, it must have been shot outside the three-point line.

But James didn't make the same choice because he didn't have much confidence in his three-pointers.

James has always been a comprehensive player. He pays great attention to his efficiency and doesn't like to do things that are not sure.

Don't look at the three-pointers that she practiced with late for almost the whole summer, he has indeed improved his three-point shooting a lot, but after all, he is on the same field as late, and he knows very well that in the last two Individuals will inevitably be used to compare scoring efficiency, so James chose a more sure breakthrough.

His body is very strong, and his well-developed muscles affect his soft touch, so even if he practiced with late for a summer, his current three-point shooting rate can only be regarded as qualified, and he can be used as a conventional weapon, but not as a weapon. The main means of scoring.

It's not that James is not talented enough, or that he doesn't work hard enough in training.

This is because the human body has great limitations. Strong muscles can provide greater strength to the human body, but it also makes it more difficult for people to send and receive freely in details.

So we can see that most of the players in the league who shoot poorly are actually very muscular and strong in confrontation.

This is why Yao Ming can dominate the basket now, but still maintains a soft touch, which makes the media keep exclaiming inconceivable.

James came in, and only Milicic was left under the basket of the Warriors. Seeing a black tank rushing towards him, Milicic didn't fluctuate in his heart, and even wanted to laugh a little.

James' breakthrough like a tank?
Joke, I've seen a real tank, and he's missing a cannon barrel!
Milicic saw the timing, suddenly moved laterally, and took off with all his strength in the reasonable collision zone.

James also jumped up almost at the same time. His real height is definitely more than 203 cm, but he was still influenced by Milicic, and James chose to pull the bar.

The 23-year-old James' jumping ability is not weak, even if it is not as good as the top spring players in the league, but at least in actual combat, he can often perform dunks with his head flat on the basket, which shows that his ability to stay in the air is also very strong.

But Milicic took off with all his strength without fear, which still interfered with James' layup and missed the pull bar.

Hill, who retreated, grabbed the defensive rebound for the first time, and after stabilizing for a while, he handed the ball to Late.

James can easily get the chance to break through and layup with this ball, and Wang Zhizhi also has a lot of credit. His three-point shooting rate is as high as 40%, making him a great hidden threat when playing pick-and-rolls with James. Players are often faced with the problem of having to make a choice.

In fact, the pick-and-roll cooperation between Wang Zhizhi and James has become one of the killers of the Cavaliers in the second half of the regular season. Wang Zhizhi's scoring average can be greatly improved, which is also related to the pick-and-roll with James.

Some media even believe that the combination of James and Wang Zhizhi is even better than the Jazz's Deron Gaboozer in the pick-and-roll.

Although Boozer is also a power forward, tall and strong, but Boozer's defensive ability is actually very poor, not as good as the current Wang Zhizhi.

The Warriors chose to focus on pick-and-roll cooperation on the offensive end, and would try to counterattack as quickly as possible when given the chance, but Hill still hopes that the team can be more stable in the opening stage.

The late get got to Hill's idea, and he also slowly dribbled the ball across the half.

James came up close to the defense again, with a focused and serious expression.

Being late seemed a little more relaxed, and he was still in the mood to talk to him: "LeBron, is it really okay for you to mark me all over the court like this? I don't believe that your physical strength is enough for you to support this kind of high-intensity defense. attack."

"Even if it doesn't work, it's okay, because I want to beat you and win the championship."

The two stopped talking nonsense, and just arrived outside the three-point line late, and immediately moved around with the ball, looking for loopholes in the Cavaliers' defense.

In fact, Mike Brown is also a head coach who started with defense. To be more precise, he actually assumes more responsibilities as a defensive coach in the Cavaliers.

As for the team's offense?
Do you still need to think about it, of course the ball was handed over to James.

But I have to say that in fact, it still has its own advantages for being able to get the first record in the Eastern Conference in the regular season.

Their defensive formation is very tight, with the inside twin towers guarding the basket on the left and right, James follows late and marks the whole time, Hughes and Pavlovich keep moving at any time to keep the formation intact.

It can be seen that they usually spend a lot of effort on defensive training. At least the Warriors will definitely not be able to achieve the current level of the Cavaliers in terms of defense.

Ilgauskas, who was dunked, was not completely out of ideas. He entangled Milicic in the interior to prevent him from running easily.

Many fans underestimate how fierce the confrontation in the NBA is. In fact, in many places where the camera cannot see, the confrontation between the players has never stopped.

Especially in the basket, it can be said that every inch of land must be contested.

Milicic is a little anxious, the attack time is running out, he must provide support to his boss.

Harrington on the other side is also a little distressed now.

In the Miami Heat last season, Wang Zhizhi almost didn't have a chance to play at all, but what the hell is this confrontational intensity and defensive experience?

Is the alliance's implicit discrimination really that serious?
With Wang Zhizhi's defensive level, coupled with his precise three-pointer, how could he not be able to gain a foothold in the league?
This guy's level is not below mine!

Harrington actually underestimated Wang Zhizhi. His skills are actually very comprehensive, and his basic skills are also very solid. He has footwork at the basket and ball-handling skills.It's just that in order to gain a firm foothold in the league, he accepted the late suggestion, specially strengthened his physical confrontation ability and defensive ability, and trained his three-pointers more accurately.

With his excellent experience, Wang Zhizhi has been stuck with Harrington, making it difficult for him to start.

Both insiders were stuck by the Cavaliers' twin towers, and the Warriors' pick-and-roll tactics seemed to be broken.
