Chapter 1004: A Troublesome Teammates
Guided by Lu's sudden change of formation, everyone was taken aback.
The Spurs really thought that Coach Lu had enlightened himself today and knew how to fight and so on.
However, what kind of routine is it to replace the four main players and leave James alone with four substitutes?
Although James retained a good physical strength just now because he didn't touch the ball much, but now in this lineup, doesn't he have to become the core of offense and defense?
In fact, Coach Lu is very simple, he didn't think about it so much, but he simply committed "James dependence" again, and when he saw the whole team and the Spurs playing so anxiously, Coach Lu was anxious, as if there were a hundred cats scratching constantly.
Hundred claws scratched his heart, which is what Director Lu felt at this time.
However, Coach Lu couldn't think of a countermeasure, and it was unbelievable that the almost perfect lineup in his opinion couldn't get the slightest bargain in the hands of the Spurs.
In particular, he saw that James was "doing nothing" during this period of time, and basically Owen and Love were leading the team, which made Director Lu very frightened:
Don't do this, the boss of the team is LeBron, where are you putting him like this, are you trying to usurp the throne? Don't you see LeBron's face darkened? (Has James' face ever turned white?) No, I have to stop you! The Cavaliers can do without anyone, just can't do without James!
Therefore, in line with the principle of "relying on Emperor Zhan when there is something, and relying on Emperor Zhan when there is nothing to do", we adhere to the strategic guiding ideology of "everything is aimed at making James happy". Lu Yuanwai waved his big hand, and directly went up and down four times boldly, letting James lead the team to play alone.
This four up and four down is one of his most domineering decisions in so many years.
And his reasons are also very good:
"Halfway through the first quarter, we have to maintain our strength, and I'm sure the Spurs would never have imagined that we would make such a substitution."
Well, this reason seems to be very reasonable at first glance, even James didn't feel inappropriate for a while, he also thought that Coach Lu's coaching ability had improved, but if you take a closer look, you will find that these don't make sense at all.
It's just that because Owen and Love did focus on the attack for almost half the quarter, they were indeed a little tired, and for the sake of the whole game, they didn't think much about it and went down to rest.
As long as you can win, everything is easy to say.
Before James came on the court, Coach Lu specially approached him like a little daughter-in-law, and whispered with an expression of invitation, "LeBron, I will never let you lose the throne of your eldest brother!" ”
James was a little speechless, what are you doing here? What kind of nonsense is it that people can't understand?
After thinking about it carefully, he understood that it was the substitution just now.
Oh my God, who is this...... James really wanted to look up to the sky and sigh, just now he thought that his tactical literacy had improved, it seems that he was thinking too much.
The Cavaliers' bench lineup Cavaliers are also okay, Dellavedova, Nerve Knife JR, "Eight Sages" Thompson, and one is ...... Actor Vallejo!
"The Cavaliers lineup is also drunk, Hassan, be careful not to be fouled by that actor, PJ is responsible for blocking people!"
Ginobili commanded quickly, Leonard still stared at James, Qin Yan stared at JR, and the two inside lines also faced their opponents, and then, he personally met Dellavedova.
"Manu, be careful."
Qin Yan admonished, after all, he knew that Dellavedova was also a guy with black hands, and Ginobili was old, so it would be bad if he was injured.
However, Dellavedova is clearly not in possession of the ball, and his task is to dribble through half court and then find James.
Well...... That's good, at least Ginobili is safe.
Qin Yan, who was looking at JR and looking at the situation on Ginobili's side, was relieved.
James took the ball, or Leonard looked at him, and it was difficult for James to have a good opportunity, so he didn't choose to come up and attack.
JR found that Qin Yan seemed to be a little absent-minded, so he slammed back to the outside, and then reached out to James for the ball.
"Ball!"
James is also good-tempered and willing to take care of his teammates now, so this time he passed the ball.
JR catches the ball, and then he jumps straight up and shoots!
That's right, it's a direct shot, no feints at all, JR is ready to have a convulsion today, and now he has only one voice in his heart, and that is to throw the ball directly.
Balls, hoops, me.
JR only has those three words in mind right now.
However, shooting like this in front of Qin Yan, who does JR look down on?
"Smack!"
A big hand managed to appear in the path of the basketball flight and slammed the ball back!
Go back to where you came from!
Fortunately, after James passed the ball, he felt bad and hurried over to make up for it, which brought the basketball back.
It's just that there is not much time left for him, and James has no choice but to make a strong shot against Leonard's defense!
"Bang-"
Under Leonard's level of defense, the shooting percentage of strong shots will not be high, unless it is a direct dunk or foul, otherwise it is difficult for James to score a shot under this kind of defense.
"Rebound!"
James, who knew he couldn't score after the shot, yelled at the inside, and Thompson and Vallejo were now his hopes.
Well, but Thompson is a bit of a tragedy, he was actually withstood by Tucker!
claimed to be 208 centimeters, but standing with the 198 centimeter Tucker was not much taller, and in the card position, he didn't take any advantage......
This "Eight Sage King" is really enough water.
As for the "actor", Whiteside has been told by Qin Yan not to have physical contact with him, if Vallejo dares to do something like being knocked down by the air to cheat the foul, then the Spurs don't mind teaching him what the rules are.
Once upon a time, there was a child who often faked falls and looked miserable, but later, he really fell badly, and no one wanted to believe it......
So this rebound is not accidental to be Whiteside's, after all, Vallejo does not fake falls, that is, an uncle in his 30s with ordinary physical fitness, and he is not Whiteside's opponent at all.
"Fight back!"
The Spurs quickly counterattacked, Ginobili took the lead, and after receiving a long pass from Whiteside, he had the opportunity to prepare a solo fast attack.
However, before he could run, he suddenly felt like he was being held hard from behind, and then he fell to the ground as if he was being bogged down!
"Bang!"
"Manu!"
But fortunately, because Qin Yan had reminded him before, Ginobili made protective preparations and was not injured.
And the one who made this kind of grappling action was naturally Dellavedova, in order to prevent the Spurs from breaking fast, he directly hugged Ginobili and fell together.
Two wastes, one brainless, and one black-handed, the teammates James brought with him this time were really enough to give him a headache......
