Chapter 193 My Reward Is To Beat You

James' close-to-defense tactics really restrained the lateness.

However, there are not many players in this league who can limit lateness in this way. Lately has undergone quite targeted training before he plans to enter the league to play. His confrontation ability is actually not weak at all.

The first quarter lasted more than 4 minutes, and the rhythm of both sides was very slow.

The Cavaliers resolutely used James to defend against late arrivals, and the effect was very obvious.

The Warriors used Jackson to defend James alone, cutting off his connection with his teammates did not seem to have achieved very good results.

The defensive strength of the Warriors is really incomparable with strong defensive teams like the Spurs and Rockets. The players cannot fully realize the coach's intentions on the defensive end.

Under the leadership of James, the Cavaliers slowly took the lead with a higher shooting percentage.

Apart from sneak attacking James once for being late, he almost didn't get a chance to make a phone call at all, and all the tactics arranged by the Warriors before the game failed to play out.

Seeing that the situation was wrong, he was late and decisively called a timeout.

The two sides returned to the bench, and Nelson immediately called the players together with a tactical board.

"LeBron has an obvious physical advantage when playing against Shang Chi. We must find a way to let Chi find a rhythm on the offensive end." Nelson said, and began to adjust the position of the chess pieces on the tactical board, "Dako, today is on the offensive end. On the other hand, you can continue to entangle with Ilgauskas in the paint. His confrontation ability is not as good as yours. You should be more confident. If your teammates have no good opportunities, I allow you to directly attack Ilgauskas with the ball. , teach him a lesson.”

Milicic nodded vigorously: "Coach, I will blow him up."

Old Nelson nodded, and moved the chess piece representing Harrington again: "Al, you have too much entanglement with Wang in the interior, and his confrontation ability has been greatly improved compared to two years ago. The last two He played better and better in the Cavaliers this season, and he began to accumulate confidence. He has very good skills around the basket, and you have no advantage when facing him under the basket."

Without waiting for Al Harrington to get frustrated, the old man immediately added: "However, your athletic ability and shooting ability are very good among power forwards. I need you to be able to run. It is best not to enter the inside and pull Wang out. In addition When LeBron is close to the defense, you can choose the right moment to go up and assist the pick-and-roll."

Harrington's work is much more difficult than Milicic's, especially the old Nelson who made him late for assistance, and has very high requirements for golf quotient, and Harrington may not be able to do it.

But he still agreed.

In the end, the old Nelson looked at late: "Chi, I don't know what you are thinking, but I believe that James' close defense will definitely not be able to restrain you. I need you to score as much as possible in the first quarter and put James more Focus more on the offensive end.”

Late nodded slightly, without saying anything nonsense.

At the same time, on the Cavaliers' bench, the team's head coach Mike Brown has already handed over the tactical board to the little emperor.

Little Zhan held the tactical board: "Everyone, we have to make some adjustments on the offensive end. Big Z, I need you to rest after the game. We need your defensive ability and offensive firepower during the substitute time."

What he said was watertight, not only adjusted the team's personnel arrangement, but also took care of Ilgauskas' feelings.

After all, Big Z is a die-hard supporter of James in the locker room, and James will not do things that hurt him.

But relatively speaking, the current Wang Zhizhi is actually playing a better role on the court than Ilgauskas.

Wang Zhizhi's height of 218cm is only 3cm lower than that of Ilgauskas, but his shooting range is longer, his mobility is stronger, and his top defense ability is also quite good. Through the performance of the last two seasons, James has fully established trust in him.

"Wang, I need you on the inside. It is best to block Milicic. This is a very comprehensive guy. He has the ability to attack with the ball, and he also has a certain shooting ability. The physical confrontation is not bad. Can you do it? "

Wang Zhizhi glanced at the latecomer on the other side, and said in a low voice, "Don't worry, leave it to me."

What James likes most is that Wang Zhizhi will go all out no matter what game he plays, and he immediately nodded with satisfaction: "Also on the offensive end, I need you to cooperate with me more near the three-point line. Situation choice. Alexander, next you..."

Wang Zhizhi couldn't hear what LeBron James said next, he just took a deep look at the Warriors' bench.

At that time, he entered the NBA full of hopes and visions, but he did not expect to receive a blow in the head. The old Nelson still regarded him seriously, but he only regarded him as a backup tire for Nowitzki - you must know that he is actually about the same age as the old driver , I once taught the old driver a lesson in the World Championships.

Afterwards, he was displaced in the league, and he had to bear the huge pressure from home, which made him almost return home in despair.

But in the end, being late helped him. Under his suggestion, Wang Zhizhi conducted targeted training on defense and three-point shooting, and got something called a "learning machine" by being late, allowing him to make up for these few days. Years of experience, this is the biggest magic weapon for him to quickly gain a foothold in the Cavaliers.

It's a pity that he will be 30 years old in July this year. He knows very well that he has passed his peak, and now he is probably the best in his entire career.

In fact, he once fantasized that if he signed with the Warriors with a basic salary and played in a team with late, he might still be able to get a championship ring. When he was still in China, Yao Ming was his subordinate. The loser.

But recently he had abandoned all unrealistic fantasies, and there was only one idea left in his mind.

No matter what the results are, we must go all out for every game in the future!
He did it. When he stepped into the finals and accomplished what many stars failed to accomplish, he also gained James' greatest trust.

At the critical moment, James entrusted him with important tasks, making him truly feel that he has integrated into this league.

Looking at the late figure, Wang Zhizhi was filled with deep gratitude.

It was you who gave me a firm foothold in the league, and you who discovered my last potential, so I will repay you-by defeating you.

Wang Zhizhi gritted his teeth secretly, and then felt someone pat on the shoulder hard.

Turning his head, he saw James' old face that looked almost 40 years old.

Many black players look older, but James' "premature aging" is particularly serious in the eyes of yellow people who generally look younger.

"Hey! Bro, don't tell me you're nervous now." James saw Wang Zhizhi looking back at him, showing his big white teeth, and made a joke to try to ease Wang Zhizhi's nervousness.

In fact, James himself is also nervous. This is the first time he has led a team to the finals, which is something that Jordan didn't do before.

Wang Zhizhi showed a smile: "LeBron, I'm not nervous, I just remembered the previous few years..."

"It's those guys who don't know what to do. They don't see your potential at all." James was actually a little worried. He knew that Wang Zhizhi had always been deeply grateful for being late.

As professional players, everyone is actually very busy, and there is very little time to connect and gather.

But after Wang Zhizhi joined the Cavaliers, what he cared most about was the news related to being late, even more than he cared about himself.

Wang Zhizhi’s EQ is not as good as Yao Ming’s, but he is not stupid, and immediately said: “It’s the lateness that helped me. I’ve been thinking that one day I’ll beat him in the arena. I think this is the best way for me to repay him. Tell him with all my strength that the guy he helped back then did not live up to his expectations."

James secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "Really? Then I look forward to your performance."

The two sides returned to the game, the Warriors did not make adjustments to the lineup, while the Cavaliers let Ilgauskas off the field to rest, this year's second-round pick Daniel Gibson played, and Pavlovich was pushed to power forward In the position, James switched to small forward.

This adjustment has increased the athletic ability of the Cavaliers. Wang Zhizhi guards the basket, and the four players on the outside of the Cavaliers rotate quickly on the defensive end. This can better limit the opportunities for the Warriors to get shots from the outside.

The Warriors served from the bottom line and dribbled the ball late for halftime, and James posted it again.

Even though he has changed to the small forward position now, he still took the initiative to take on the important task of marking the biggest core of the Warriors.

But the rhythm of being late this time is obviously different from before. He neither turned his back to protect the ball, nor rashly continued to move the ball near the Cavaliers' three-point line.

James frowned suddenly, and his lateness seemed to be completely unaffected by being restrained by himself for the previous few minutes?

At this moment, Al Harrington squeezed away from Pavlovich's marking and ran towards the late side.

The Cavaliers immediately rotated outside, and Hughes made up to mark Harrington.

He was late but had thrown the ball directly, and Harrington caught the ball and aimed at the basket.

Hughes' defensive ability is very strong, and he can tell at a glance that Harrington is a fake move, and he was not fooled at all.

Harrington passed the ball directly to Hill, Hill hoisted the ball inside, and Milicic got the chance to single out Wang Zhizhi.

The Serbian boy turned his back to get the ball, so instead of dribbling it in a hurry, he leaned back slightly to test Wang Zhizhi's quality.

But he found that when he leaned on him, the other party didn't move at all.

This made Milicic feel a bad feeling in his heart. This guy, he couldn't be another Yao Ming, right?

I have to say that Milicic was a bit psychologically shadowed by Yao Ming.

But he guessed right. When Wang Zhizhi was still playing in the CBA in China, Yao Ming, who was still very young at the time, really held the honor of the CBA championship all the year round.

Wang Zhizhi put one hand on Milicic's waist and raised the other. His expression was calm and silent, but inside he was like a volcano that might erupt at any time.
