Chapter 164 Smash's Big Debut

"You didn't change the lineup?" Ci Shiping looked across and said in surprise.

"It's the confidence in James' ability to control it." Paul Gasol said, his mind is obviously much better than Metta World Peace.

"Hmph, you really think you can play with us with a group of substitutes? Damn James, hateful Eric, hateful Miami!"

"Okay, what they want to do is their own business. We just need to do a good job in offense and defense, and don't need to think about the rest." A typical Kobe answer, but obviously, he felt the opponent's attitude. Annoyed.

Even leading by 5 points, let James bring a group of substitutes to face off?What a Miami Heat!
The fighting spirit in Kobe's eyes became even stronger.

"What? You gave up playing me in singles?" Seeing that Udonis Haslem didn't take the initiative to ask for the ball again, Tang Qianbiao said rubbish.

"Stop talking nonsense, you Asian guy." Udonis Haslem ran out to support after throwing down a sentence. Not on him.The task assigned to him by the head coach is to grab rebounds and pass cuts to support him. If he goes to fight Tang Qian again, Erik Spoelstra will definitely replace him in the next dead ball round. , and at the same time gave him a curse.

Udonis Haslem still has this sense, so even if he is upset with Tang Qian, he has to endure it for the time being, so as not to lose the opportunity to continue "scrubbing statistics" on the field due to small losses. .

The person defending James was still Ci Shiping, but this time, James chose speed to win, and did not give Ci Shiping a chance to entangle, and rushed into the Lakers' three-point line with a single stride.

"Supplementary defense, shrink supplementary defense!"

Facing a heavy "biological weapon" like LeBron James, there was no need for Ci Shiping to shout, and the Lakers immediately shrank inside.But what LeBron James wants is this effect, because unlike Kobe Bryant, assists and passes are his first choice.So the result, it goes without saying, because of the excessive contraction of the Lakers, Sean Battier near the bottom corner was vacated.After receiving the pass from James, Battier immediately made a shot. Battier's open three-pointers have always been very accurate, and even reached a club with a three-point shooting rate of 40+ at the highest point in his career.This is definitely a very strong result. The 40%+ three-point shooting rate in the season means that you can become a reliable three-point shooting choice for a team. For ordinary players, it is definitely a way to realize your own tactics. Excellent means of value.

The so-called excellent 3D player, Sean Battier, is definitely number one.

Even though the three-point shooting rate has dropped a bit this season, the corner three-pointer is still unambiguous. With a "swipe", the basketball pierced the Lakers' white net.

61-63, 5 points advantage, only 2 points left in an instant.

As one of the two teams that made it to the Finals last year, there is no doubt about the overall chemistry of the Heat, especially with LeBron James, the super backcourt engine, for any pitcher and 3D player. Have the opportunity to flex your muscles.

On the Lakers side, the ball was passed to Gasol for an inside single, but he failed to score it. After James received the backcourt rebound, he immediately controlled the ball and rushed towards the Lakers' half without stopping.

James, who has added speed in the backcourt, is extremely terrifying, and his explosive power can be called a prehistoric monster.

In positional warfare, Ci Shiping may still be able to compete with him, but in sports warfare, the two are not on the same level at all. James' impact is much more terrifying than the former.Breaking through to the inside of the Lakers again, will James still choose to pass the ball this time?Both Gasol and Tang Qian have no idea. After all, facing a player who is definitely in the top ten in history, their level is really far behind.

Take off.

This is Tang Qian's first close contact with LeBron James. The super-giant aura instantly suppressed him. This has nothing to do with courage. due to.

This man, the No. 6 of the Heat, just brushed past himself and Pau Gasol, and then... raised his hand and dunked.

boom! ! !
Tang Qian was deeply shocked by the heavy force and the painful twisting sound of the basket.

Is this person... the proud son of heaven, the so-called "Little Emperor" LeBron James?

That feeling... never before.

It seems that it is really a feeling of the presence of a king.

His gaze was disdainful, his momentum unmatched.

Is this the No.1 of the active league... It's so scary...

63-63, LeBron James personally helped the Heat tie the score.

"Tang, don't think too much. Even the best defensive player may not be able to intercept the ball just now. LeBron James' tomahawk dunk is not an ordinary attack method." It seems to have seen Tang Qian's heart Shocked, Paul Gasol comforted him.In fact, it is easy for young players to leave shadows in their hearts. For example, Howard back then, since he was dunked by Kobe, for a long time, his heart was shaking when facing Kobe. Even until the 2009 finals, he was a little afraid of Kobe. disease.Career duel data, the gap is even more obvious, 27+5+6VS16+12+2.

In order not to cast a shadow on Tang Qian's heart, Paul Gasol said this.

The Lakers attacked, Kobe broke through the inside of the Heat, resulting in a defensive foul by Sean Battier, and made 2 free throws, 63-65.

James assisted Mike Miller, who made a 17-foot mid-range shot, 65-65, and Miami tied the score again.

"Kobe, the Heat's defense against you is getting tighter and tighter. Let's connect the team first and then play singles." His status is not low at all, and he directly suggested to Kobe that he has this qualification.

The key is that Kobe also respects the opponent, so after thinking about it for a while, he nodded and said: "Well, you are right, the Heat's defense is too focused on me, this is a good opportunity for pass assists and let others score .”

"Then you still continue to run, pretend to attack, and attract the opponent's defensive line, which can greatly reduce the difficulty of our shots and greatly increase the shooting percentage."

"Okay, let's do this." Kobe is paranoid, but he wants to win more. In other words, his biggest paranoia is the paranoia of winning.Therefore, as long as his teammates are reliable, he will not keep "bombing indiscriminately".

To say that Kobe can only shoot wildly and can’t pass the ball is definitely an impression. Except for the two seasons when he first entered the league, the average assists per game were only 1.3 and 2.5, and the average assists per game in almost every season after that were in the Around 5+, which is already very good for a shooting guard.You must know that the great basketball god Michael Jordan averaged only 5+ assists per game in his career, so as long as Kobe wants to pass the ball and maintain the first-tier level of the league, it is not a problem.

In particular, the coordinated ball inside the outside pass is his forte.

Kobe Bryant of the Lakers took the ball, and after attracting the defense of two people, he quickly released the ball, and the basketball went straight into the hands of Pau Gasol inside the Heat.Gasol took the ball and shot. After a fake move that shook the defender, he shot a low post and the basketball went straight to the Miami basket.

This kind of ball, Gasol can be said to be sure, generally speaking, as long as he makes a shot, he will score, unless...

slap~
A member of the Heat rushed in, put his feet on the ground, stretched out his long arms, and even grabbed Gasol's shot at the moment, and pressed the latter's shot on the backboard!
Who is this guy?Naturally, it is the No. 6 of the Heat, the "Little Emperor", LeBron James.

James' assist defense and blocking shots can be called the best of NBA small forwards. Because he bounces well and has long arms, it is not uncommon for him to block the inside of a center forward.Especially when he and Wade are standing together on the court, the blocking ability of the two is terrifying. From the outside to the inside, there is almost no one they can't block. This is very similar to Michael Jordan and Wade back then. Coty Pippen.After blocking Gasol's shot, James quickly dribbled forward. This time, Kobe was in front of him to block him, but James did not force himself to attack. He kicked his feet, jumped up and passed the ball, and the basketball flew straight to the Lakers. The heart of the team, the man who catches the ball, is Mike Miller.Seeing that there was no one under the basket, Mike Miller's hands were itchy. He jumped up and smashed towards the Lakers' basket.After all, for a shooter, bombarding the rim is a very rare thing, so once this kind of opportunity arises, Mike Miller can't help it, and prepares to perform a dunk with one hand.

However, at this moment, a yellow palm suddenly appeared in front of his eyes. Mike Miller was startled. When he came back to his senses, the basketball in his hand had already disappeared.

Blocked? ? ?

how can that be possible? ? ?
Just now I clearly saw that the Lakers' basket was empty, right? ? ?Why would someone suddenly appear? ? ?
"Derek, go fast!"

As soon as Tang Qian passed the basketball in his hand to Derek Fisher, he immediately ran forward. Fisher understood it and didn't take the initiative to hit the basket. Instead, he stopped outside the Heat's three-point line. After stopping the ball, he threw the basketball in his hand high.

What is this doing? ? ?
Who did you pass the ball to? ? ?

Obviously, there are no Lakers players in the Heat's inside line? ? ?

After the basketball drew a beautiful arc in the sky, a pair of big hands stretched out across the sky, and when the basketball was about to fall, they held it firmly.Then, without pausing, with the momentum and inertia of running and bouncing, he blasted directly to the Miami basket.

boom!
Before the Heat's backup center Dexter Pittman could react, he felt a huge force suddenly overturning him, leaving no room for bargaining.

The referee blows the whistle, the goal is counted as a point, and a penalty is added.

At this moment, in the ESPN live broadcast room, Isiah Thomas was smiling and said, "Jeff, how is it? Besides blocking shots, he is quick to attack the lob, isn't he worthy of the nickname I gave him?"

"Let me look at the data." Jeff Van Gundy looked at the computer in front of him and said, "This is his fourth block, right? This Chinese's defensive ability is very good! It's not the same as Yao Ke! "

"Of course!" Isiah Thomas said, "His athletic ability far exceeds that of Yao! Although his height is not as exaggerated as the latter, his explosive power and agility are not possessed by the latter! I am optimistic about it." He replaced Troy Murphy of the Lakers and became the team's first inside substitute."

"Well, with these few shots, I agree. Although the offensive ability is not good, but the defense alone is enough to gain a foothold in the fixed rotation." Jeff Van Gundy said: "He can do a lot in the Lakers. Dikembe's role on the Rockets back then helped Andrew Bynum have a longer average rest time per game."

"I think so too." Isiah Thomas said: "As long as he blocks a few more shots against the rotation lineup, his role will be far better than a half-abandoned Troy Murphy. And the inside Defensive work is one of the shortcomings of the Lakers' starting Twin Towers. If they are hot out to help them share the defensive pressure, then the Twin Towers can gain more energy on the offensive end. In this way, against any team in the league, the Lakers It can be regarded as having its own second strongest point."

"Ha~ You actually look at the Twin Towers of the Lakers in this way. Are you afraid that you are wrong? You must know that Bynum was selected to the Western Conference All-Star starting lineup this year. His level of strength is at his peak! With the perennial 18 +10 Pau Gasol, can this group of inside partners only be regarded as an offensive strength?" Rachel Nix said.

"Of course." Isiah Thomas said: "If you look carefully, the two towers of the Lakers are actually not very compatible. Before Andrew Bynum hadn't grown up, the inside line was actually Gaso But now, it is just the opposite. The role of the insider has become Andrew Bynum. The degree of compatibility is not as good as everyone imagined. Coupled with the defensive ability of the two of them, I personally don’t think it stands out. Two 7-foot big men guard the basket together, and they can’t even average a 2.0 blocks per game. No, this is far from the Spurs twin towers and the Rockets twin towers back then. And didn’t you all find out? Neither of them is actually an offensive and defensive insider. Too much energy will inevitably weaken the defensive effect, so I always say that they can only be regarded as a strong point of the Lakers. Because there are too many factors that limit and restrict the state."

"Then with hot, can their compatibility problem be solved?" Rachel asked.

"It can't be completely solved, at least it will play an enhanced role. You can look at Gasol's average data, scoring data, and scoring efficiency when he is on the court at the same time. It can be called an overall increase, so I said, he The value is far greater than the value of Troy Murphy. Now it depends on whether this Oriental boy can maintain stability and maintain his state." Isiah Thomas explained.
