Chapter 202: Cocooning Yourself
James has been closely disturbed by Artest on the offensive end, and the beast has its own way of defending the little emperor, one will be two big strides away to mentally humiliate the opponent, and the other will be like a dogskin plaster pestering James...... The individual defense of the players is the same as their joint defense, the same method cannot be used endlessly, there needs to be changes to make the defenders feel uncomfortable, and now the gorillas feel uncomfortable!
Artest can defend the gorilla physically, which makes the little emperor limited in the way he can do, most of the time he can solve the opponent by relying on either "body" or "speed".
LeBron. James used to deal with Artest, he opened up the breakthrough space and broke through with his own speed, although Artest has enough strength, but the lateral movement and footsteps can't keep up with the little emperor, so the two have an absolute advantage against the gorilla before this season, and they can use their speed to beat Artest every time.
This season, the Clippers twins can help defend James' breakthrough in time on the inside, and their two pairs of long arms have greatly reduced the threat of the little emperor's breakthrough.
LeBron. James was forced to no choice, and in addition to being anxious, his shoulder used a ||novel an][shu][ba].foul action to push Artest, and the dribble took two steps inside into Ji Guoyi's defensive area.
The fox brother immediately came up to help defend and spread his hands to cover the sky, it doesn't matter if he can't cover it, he just wants to interfere.
At this time, the gorilla made a stunt, and he didn't know if he used a step to collect the ball with both hands...... Or skip steps...... Anyway, the referee couldn't tell the difference, and everyone saw that the gorilla looked like it was jumping on both feet. Jumped directly over to the little fox. After landing, the pivot foot did not move, and there was another disguise. Completely flashed Ji Guosha, and finally jumped up with a one-handed heavy dunk to get two points.
The Panda Man also returned to the basket at this time to make up for the defense, but his block was a step slower, and he could only stop in the end to avoid being fouled into two and one.
"Walk!"
Ji Guoyi and his teammates made a walking gesture to the referee for the first time, the gorilla's breakthrough this time is more unclear than what he explained last time, playing like this in broad daylight, the referee still doesn't blow the ball?
The referee really doesn't blow it, and James's movements are difficult to tell whether they are walking or not by the naked eye. The criterion for judging penalties is to look at the consistency of the player's movements; and whether the Coalition has instructions; or the mood and personal preferences of the referee; Since Ji Guosha had the same action before and did not blow the punishment, then the little emperor should be punished the same way in both sense and reason, which is fair!
Clippers fans scolded the referee for collecting black money, forgetting that Ji Guoyi's previous explanation of the goal was not so clean, and the referee treated everyone equally, and there were no black spots.
The game went to 3:30 in the second quarter, the score was 44:41, and the Clippers led by 3 points.
Ji Guoqiu holds the ball in the high position, and it is Da Z who defends him.
The panda hero decisively broke through with a high dribble, and accelerated past the clumsy Lithuanian. In the face of James's supplementary defense, he forced a shot and scored a goal with his height and arm length. He also made a defensive foul on the Gorilla.
There was a tsunami of "MVP" cheers in the Staples Arena, and they deserved to shout after the All-Star Game, especially Ji Guoqiu, who won the MVP of the rookie game and the MVP of the All-Star Game, Lakers fans are unwilling to find fault with this, and they are really MVP now.
LeBron. James was unhappy with the decision and shouted at the referee that he didn't think he had committed a foul.
The big screen on the scene was replayed in slow motion, and the Gorilla's foul was indeed dispensable, which was an ambiguous decision, but considering that this was the home court of the Clippers, the judgment was also awarded.
Ji Guoqiu hit a free throw and scored his 10th point of the game.
Today, against the big Z who is taller than himself, but far more clumsy than himself, Panda Hero has strengthened the breakthrough, and this method has worked very well.
James is also looking for a way to deal with Artest on the offensive end, and the Gorilla continues to increase his breakthrough moves in an attempt to test the referee's bottom line. This time, when he broke through the emergency stop, the hand protecting the ball had an elbow raising movement, which was not very obvious, but it pushed Artest back and James had an open shot at the free throw line.
"Huh!"
The Gorilla still shot well from the free-throw line area, and the ball went into the net.
This time Artest complained to the referee, this time the referee saw it but pretended not to see it, a typical star whistle, if you really want to talk about it, Kobe Bryant uses more actions than gorillas, if you don't have a star who is tricked, you can only admit it.
Billups dribbled to the front court and passed the basketball to Ji Guoyi, who was 45 degrees outside the three-point line on the right wing.
Root. Wallace is facing the same dilemma as Big Z today, that is, he can't keep up with his fox brother, and what's worse is that Big Ben doesn't even have enough height, and he doesn't interfere much with Ji Guosha's shooting, so he can't prevent sudden shots.
Cavaliers fans see Ben in front of the TV. Wallace was beaten on the field by Ji Guosha, whose salary was more than ten times lower, and wanted to cry without tears, this money was really spent - unjustly!
Ji Guoyi made a triple threat move outside the three-point line, and the Cavaliers formation began to tilt towards him, and other Cavaliers players were ready to make up for Big Ben at any time. Wallace's work on the defensive end, but unfortunately the years are urging people to get old, and a new generation replaces the old......
When the Clippers saw the Cavaliers' movements, they immediately pulled away in the opposite direction, and all of their brains fell to the weak side.
The Cavaliers go to the left, and the Clippers go to the right, in short, to make the opponent uncomfortable.
Ji Guosha dribbles through, Ben. Wallace moved and blocked his brother fox from 15 feet, who immediately switched from breaking through to his back and continuing to hit back.
When James saw Ji Guo's shameful back, he said in his heart: You are really looking for by yourself!
The little emperor felt that there was an opportunity to take advantage of it, and immediately came up to wrap it, and Artest took the opportunity to pull to the top of the arc at this time.
Ji Guoyi telepathically waited for the moment when James was about to surround him, turned around and jumped up and did not shoot, but threw the basketball to Artest at the top of the arc.
West's defense. Artest passes again......
Billups catches the ball outside the three-point line on the other wing. Unguarded. Shoot a three-point shot from the outside!
Mike in front of the Cavaliers bench. Brown saw that the defense that the team relied on to win the game, and was hit by the Clippers' fast and lethal point shot today, and couldn't help but pull his hair, but forgot that it had already fallen out, so naturally he didn't find anything, but this action made Charles. Barkley almost laughed in the live room.
Mike. Brown couldn't touch his hair and looked at the score again, 50:43. Billups' three-pointer put the Cavaliers in a terrible position, and it stands to reason that he should call a timeout at this time, and Black Bread himself knows this, but ...... But...... He has no solution, how can this pause be called?
The Cavaliers' problem is that they can't defend themselves against the two big men of the Clippers, so they move their whole body with a single shot, simply put, they were broken by the Clippers from the inside today, and finally lost even the outside line.
Those two twins usually don't break through with the ball much, but today they use high breakouts as conventional weapons. Apparently taking advantage of the disadvantage of the two of them, he has already tried to deal with the twins' breakthrough by retracting the inside. But the Clippers are far better at shooting from long range than they are, so this trick simply won't work.
Black Bread racked his brains off the court in the hope of finding a way to deal with the Clippers, but until the end of the first half, he was still helpless.
The methods he can think of, without exception, are not conditional to be implemented, in the final analysis, the strength of the knight this year is not enough, he can't let this out of thin air. Wallace, the best defensive player, is back to his peak? If you give him a Big Ben in his prime, instead of a Big Ben that is about to retire, Mike. Brown is sure to take out the Clippers' twin interior linemen.
The score was 58:48, relying on James' ultra-long three-pointer before halftime, and the Cavaliers were lucky not to trail by 13 points.
The Cavaliers ran into the tunnel after halftime to the cheers of 20,000 boat fans at Staples Arena, and the first half was not good for them at all.
Away team locker room, Mike. Brown thought about it for a long time, and only thought of one way, and that was to put LeBron. James mentioned the number four position.
"Guys, falling behind is not the end of the world, believe me, we haven't lost the game yet, the champion team has to have the courage to lose, but also the confidence to be able to turn defeat into victory at any time."
Mike. Brown did not arrange tactics first, but first released the mouth cannon skills, hoping to boost the morale of the players first, otherwise no matter how good the tactics are, it will be a dead end without fighting spirit.
LeBron. There is no doubt that James has the temperament of a leader, he struggled to get 16 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists in the first half, and then waited for the assistant coach to finish, and slapped him again and again......
Brown bread is very relieved, it is good to have such a team leader, this situation does not need to say too much at all.
The Cavaliers were first attacked by the assistant coach's verbal skills, and then the leader's "Demacia" boosted their morale, and they regained their fighting spirit at halftime.
"In the second half, LeBron mentioned the number four and Wally played the number three."
That's what Black Bread has changed, he swapped James to the No. 4 position, let him chisel the inside, and put Daniel on the outside. Gibson, West, Szzebiak three goalscorers waiting for the little emperor's inside ball,
Before the start of the second half, Charles. Barkley said: "Before the Cavaliers came into the court for the second half, our on-site reporters interviewed their assistant coach, Mike Bush. Brown, who said that while the score was ahead for the Clippers, they could have done better, and he was concerned about his team's leaks on defense, hoping that he could stare at the opposing shooter in the second half and not let them shoot easily. ”
Kenny. "Keeping an eye on the opposing team makes it harder for the opposing player to shoot, but I haven't seen that kind of ability on the Cavaliers so far," Smith said.
As it turned out, the coach couldn't believe what he said at halftime. Brown didn't stress that aspect at all, and in the second half he sent out: Daniel. Gibson, Delonti. West, Wally. Szczebiak, LeBron. The starting lineup of James and Big Z.
Old Dunleavy secretly thought in his heart, no matter what formation the Cavaliers posed, they must be around James, so will James in this lineup be different from the first half? Isn't this sending yourself to the inside to send??
At the beginning of the second half, Ji Guoyi tried to break through James on the offensive end, but this time he didn't sing. Interior players like Wallace and Big Z were still okay, and when they met the serious gorilla, they almost broke the ball as soon as they broke through, and the little fox was so frightened that he hurriedly passed the basketball out.
Billups used a pass feint, but he turned around and broke through Gibson and scored two points with a small header inside.
The score is 60:48, Mr. Key always does not disappoint at critical moments, the Cavaliers changed lineup in the second half, although I don't know what the other party's plans are, but at this time the importance of the Clippers to score two points first is self-evident.
The Cavaliers attack, Billups is cunning and cunning, and more than ten years of game experience tells him that after the Cavaliers change formation, no matter what their plans are, as long as they don't let James catch the ball, it is the best choice, so they pay special attention to guard Daniel. Gibson's passing route made the offensive point guard look for a long time and couldn't find a chance to pass to James inside.
Ji Guoyi received an order from his brother to defend James in front instead, with the same purpose as Billups. Brown immediately broke out in a cold sweat on his head off the field, and sighed in his heart that this fox was very cunning!
The spontaneous defense of the Clippers players made Mike . Brown knew that it was not good on the sidelines, Ji Guoyi's 210cm height and ultra-long arm span used his agility to surpass that of a gorilla and always crossed in front of James, preventing the latter from receiving outside passes.
At this time, even if Kidd came, it would be difficult to pass the ball to James under the dual defense of Billups and Ji Guoyi, and the other giant panda also focused most of his energy on the gorilla that ran into the inside.
Daniel. Gibson couldn't pass the ball and had to give the basketball to West, who was equally unable to pass the ball inside, and these two had limited playmaking skills and were not pure playmaking guards.
The Clippers suddenly played a joint defense in the second half, and the whole team moved with the ball, forming a net to trap the Cavaliers players who got the ball, but instead of pressing and defending the Cavaliers outside players, their purpose was to separate the connection between James on the inside and the outside players on the Cavaliers.
Mike. Brown almost sat on the ground, and his setup didn't work at all against a defense like the Clippers. James couldn't get the ball on the inside, and he couldn't talk about it. (To be continued......) R861
