Chapter 192 Unsolvable Problems (There are only a few dozen readers in this book, Happy Mid-Autumn Festival)

Even if you want to change players, you have to wait a little longer. The game has only started less than 2 minutes now. If someone from the inside twin towers is replaced, it will definitely hurt the opponent's feelings.

Am I, LeBron James, the kind of fool with low EQ?
The Cavaliers' inside twin towers have obvious weaknesses on the defensive end, but they have great advantages on the offensive end.

Wang Zhizhi can even stretch beyond the three-point line, and Ilgauskas is also a center who is good at mid-range and long-range shooting, which allows James to have more breakthrough opportunities.

In fact, what James needs is this kind of helper who can make him break through more easily.

Just as the Cavaliers dribbled the ball across half court, Jackson stuck it up again.

Generally, when defending against an opponent's breakthrough, one should let go of a distance of about one step.But it's obviously not enough to face James. This guy's physical fitness is too bad. If Jackson makes him rush, he really can only shout that he can't be provoked.

So Jackson immediately changed his strategy. He confronted James close to him, trying to interfere with James' rhythm, and let James turn around and hit back, but he didn't let him turn around easily.

The strategy worked, and James is still young and far from developing the all-around abilities of his prime.

After practicing three-pointers with Late for a holiday, his biggest weakness became his post-up singles ability.

Post-up singles is a technique of deceiving opponents by constantly shaking their feet and gaining room for shots.At that time, the old hooligan evolved the post-up singles of outside players to the extreme, which had a huge impact on the NBA. After he retired, other outsiders followed suit. Almost all of the super scorers in the league are singles masters .

Carmelo Anthony, Paul Pierce, Kobe Bryant, these outside players all have strong post-up singles ability.

Now to measure whether a star is dominant, post-up singles ability is also regarded as an extremely important measure.

The last few seasons have been Kobe's peak period. Even though his team performance is actually on the verge of the playoffs, the media thinks that his skills are very comprehensive and he is the player most like an old hooligan.

Even if James has shown his talent and led the team well, the media still believes that Kobe is stronger than him now.

Fans watching players play post-ups from the sidelines always feel that this technique is very simple.

But in fact, many stars in the league can't learn to play post-up singles, and the efficiency is also very low.

Because post-up singles requires a lot of comprehensiveness of players, at least you have to have strong strength, flexible footwork, and good speed. Jumping ability is also a very important part. can not do this.

The current James can only be regarded as having a good body. He has not yet reached the extreme in the development and utilization of his body, and his skills still need to be honed.

This greatly reduces the threat of a breakthrough when he cannot turn around.

Jackson desperately entangled James, which made Zhan Zhan, who had no back-up skills in this matter, a big headache.

As the time passed by second by second, James had to choose to pass the ball-the rules of NBA and FIBA ​​are still very different, such as post-up singles, NBA has clear regulations, a player cannot hold the ball with his back to the basket If the basket lasts longer than five seconds, it will be considered a violation. This rule was originally aimed at the Fliggy Barkley, who has a historically big ass.

Fortunately, the Cavaliers have encountered this kind of situation. For example, the Spurs, who are very experienced in defense, use one person to defend against James every time they encounter the Cavaliers, cutting off the communication between him and his teammates. Contact to minimize the space for James to turn around with the ball.

The Cavaliers already had some experience, and immediately a player came out to support them——Wang Zhizhi.

Big Zhi has performed well in the Cavaliers in the past two seasons. He squeezed out Drew Gooden and took the position of the team's starting power forward. Sometimes he will also serve as the team's center. His three-point shooting ability is James very trusting.

Seeing his teammates, James immediately passed the ball.

Harrington was noticeably shorter in front of Wang Zhizhi, and Da Zhi made a fuss.

He first glanced at Pavlovic near the baseline, then at James, and faked a pass.

Harrington's defensive ability is not strong, and he often relies on his physical fitness to defend. To put it bluntly, his body reacts faster than his brain.

So Harrington was fooled. He almost instinctively believed that Wang Zhizhi was standing outside the three-point line and would choose a safe approach when facing his own defense. He would definitely pass the ball back to James.

His body reacted first, reaching out to the right to block, and the defense lost position.

Wang Zhizhi was not polite at all, he raised his wrist and voted.

His original shooting action is not very jumping. This shooting action is similar to being late and making three-pointers. In the three-point boom caused by being late, I don’t know how many players are not jumping when throwing three-pointers. Gain shooting space with a faster shot speed, but there is currently no one in the league who can really learn the essence of late shots.

But Wang Zhizhi is already different from the past, and he is very confident in this game.

I saw the basketball draw a perfect arc in the air, and gently drilled into the net. The sound of entering the net was clear and sweet, like a splash of water.

"King! For three!"

Harrington was startled.

Nima, shooting so resolutely and decisively?
Sure enough, this guy's strength is not inferior to mine!
No, even though he didn't want to admit it, Harrington knew that the current Wang Zhizhi was actually stronger than himself, because he...was better at defending than Harrington.

Such a powerful guy, can't get a chance to play in the Clippers and Heat?

The coaches of those two teams are probably not blind.

Harrington complained sullenly while returning to the Warriors' offensive formation.

Late this time, he didn't stand far away to watch his teammates four-on-four. He dribbled the ball across the half court, and faced James' close defense, he was a little helpless.

In fact, just like James, the current lateness also has obvious weaknesses-he actually doesn't have the ability to play back-up singles, which makes him obviously a little restrained when he is pressed by his opponent.

It's just that being late is different from James. James uses a tank-like charge to hit the opponent's defense.And if you are late, you will switch to the off-ball mode, and you will get a chance to make a shot through active off-ball running and teammates' screens.

Late does not plan to learn post-up singles, because in his opinion, post-up singles scoring efficiency is not very high. In the history of the league, only the old hooligans have a singles efficiency of more than 50%. Even if he is as strong as the Mamba, his efficiency is not good. nearly ten percent.

With a super high outside shooting rate, there is no need to choose an inefficient offensive method late.

Now James has forced out late's weakness, and late has to switch the off-ball mode again and hand the ball to Hill.

But this will reduce his threat on the offensive end-the league recognizes that late arrivals with the ball are the most difficult to prevent.

As far as the performance during the opening period is concerned, James has actually done a pretty good job of limiting lateness.

In fact, the Warriors also have the same problem as the Cavaliers, that is, the relative concentration of the ball.

But the only difference is that most of the Cavaliers' offensive dominance is in the hands of James, while the Warriors will choose to end the attack late in more cases.

The Cavaliers players are very active on the defensive end. Under the leadership of James, they have defended the pressure of the Warriors on the offensive end very well.

This time, Milicic and Harrington failed to create a good shot for Late by virtue of their athletic ability. James ran tirelessly, and Late couldn't turn around when he got the ball a few times. spread out.

24 seconds of offensive time ran out, Grant Hill missed a strong shot before the violation, and Ilgauskas picked up a defensive rebound.

Judging from the failure of the Warriors' offense this time, the Cavaliers' defensive ability is actually very strong.

Although the two big and tall men on the inside move slowly, they have a clear division of labor. Ilgauskas sits at the basket and Wang Zhizhi is responsible for filling the position. The way they alleviate the lack of movement of the two big men on the inside is to rely on the outside line to be more determined. Quick defensive rotation.

Pavlovich and Hughes' defense is very good. James also showed physical advantages when facing late alone, often allowing late to get the ball without a chance to make a phone call.

On the offensive end, the two big men inside the Cavaliers still opened up space to allow James to break through better.

This time James still bullied Jackson. He directly broke through Jackson's defense and went inside, and chose to split the ball under Milicic's interference.

Ilgauskas received a pass from James near the horns, and Hill rushed over to defend, but the height gap was too large to effectively interfere with Ilgauskas' shot.

However, Ilgauskas seems to have not found the touch at this time. This time, he failed to grasp a good shot opportunity.

The Cavaliers retreated very resolutely. Even the two big men inside did not try to grab offensive rebounds-in fact, rushing offensive rebounds is not suitable for the Cavaliers, and they themselves know this very well.

This made it impossible for the Warriors to bring up the rhythm to fight back quickly, so they had to match the speed with the Cavaliers, but this obviously fell into the rhythm of the Cavaliers.

Under James' close defense, it is almost impossible to attack with the ball late. He has to protect the ball with his back, so there is no chance to turn around and shoot.

The Warriors' offense suffered a setback here, which surprised many fans watching the game.

Because before the match against the Cavaliers, the Warriors eliminated such strong opponents as the Spurs, Suns and Rockets in a row. When the Cavaliers were very dominant, the Warriors actually fell into a hard fight.

This is probably the so-called one thing down one thing.

Among the teams eliminated by the Warriors, there is a lack of a player who can really limit lateness, which allows the Warriors to easily play the rhythm they want, but in the Cavaliers, James is an unsolvable problem!
