basketball purple front

Chapter 381
Being blocked three times in a row by an unknown person, LeBron James' mentality and city government are a bit gloomy.

After all, he is No. 1 in the active league, the favorite of heaven, how can he be blocked by a backup center three times in a row?

And for some reason, the person in front of him awakened a certain vague memory in his mind.

But he quickly cleared this thought, because as the current No.1 in the league, he has no reason to admit defeat.

The Heat sent the baseline ball, James took the initiative to ask for the ball, and then waved his hand, making a move that he wanted to play singles.

James is usually a very team player, at least passing and scoring, and he distributes them very reasonably.

So this kind of scene has been very rare since coming to Miami.

After all, with the Big Three lineup, there is really no need for him to play singles frequently.

But tonight, he can't play alone, because no matter how he is, he is also a super giant in his peak state. If he is blocked by three people and doesn't respond, then in a country like the United States with a strong plot of individual heroism, , will definitely be a big hit.James' mind is extremely smart, so he made a decision quickly.After Wade is willing to retreat to the second line, he is the master of Miami. In addition to last year's FMVP, he wants to play singles, and no one in the Heat will object.

Don't look at the person in front of him as Ci Shiping, but James' eyes shot directly into the inside of the Lakers.

Tang Qian also received this gaze, but he was confident, because after activating the ability card, even if James was possessed by Jordan, it would be useless.So his eyes were firm, and he looked back at each other without retreating.

This gaze made James' face even more gloomy.

The little man is lucky!

If you don't teach me a good lesson, that's a no-go!
Easterners, I will let you know what is called Alliance No.1!

Ci Shiping saw James' gaze, and he felt very annoyed, because it was blatantly ignoring himself.

Anyway, I was also one of the outside players who got DPOY before, do you just look down on me like that?

But the facts proved that even though Ci Shiping put up all his energy to defend, he still fell short in front of the peak James. The latter made a large cross step and swayed past the former's defense.James’ playing is completely different from Kobe’s. He likes to use his strengths, “use his own strengths to attack the enemy’s weaknesses.” If your body is not good, I will rely on your body to crush it. If your body is strong, then I will use my skills and speed to get it done. , anyway, compared with him, it is impossible to have a perimeter defensive player with strong body and fast speed.

This is the way James plays, which is completely different from Kobe's grudge-like way.

But who is better, who is more effective, who is more beautiful, that is the matter of the beholder and the wise.

Tang Qian likes the passionate and confrontational NBA, so Kobe's character is more to his appetite.

And the most important thing is that he is now in the Lakers, a member of the Los Angeles Lakers.

This reason is enough.

"James went in again! He didn't choose the pull-up jump shot! Is he still going to challenge the inside of the Lakers guarded by Tang?" Bill McDonald said loudly: "Oh~ that's right~ that's right~ he just went for Tang! He was aiming at it! This is a duel ball! This is a ball fight!!!" Don't think that "ball fight" is a derogatory term. In fact, the NBA is so beautiful and exciting. , is indispensable.

American fans love to watch this.

Chinese fans also love to watch this.

Fans all over the world love to watch this.

What is reasonable, what is rational, all go to hell! ! ! The reason why the NBA is unique, "balloon fighting" is one of the keys! ! !

The purpose of competition is indeed to win, and "fighting balloons" seems to have a somewhat contrary meaning to it.

But basketball wants to expand, to have more fans and greater influence, this kind of irrationality, this kind of irrationality, is absolutely necessary.Just look at the development of football. The most talked about are hero balls, lore balls, and long-distance single-handed strikes. This kind of ball is rational and reasonable, right?No, the success rate is not very high if one singles out a few, but as fans, everyone is willing to watch this.

A person's splendor is far more exciting than a reasonable goal.

The same is true for basketball. After all, the NBA is a commercial league, and competition is only one of the goals. With more and more fans, the right way is for the league to make more money.

Moreover, in the bones of human beings, there is actually a kind of rebellious psychology, which rejects reasonableness and likes unreasonableness.

James seems to have learned the lesson of the few balls just now. Although it is also a flying dunk this time, his posture is no longer the ordinary vigorous style. Instead, he made a swing in mid-air. This is to reduce the accuracy of the opponent's shot blocking. A slam dunk action.

James has thought about this ball a long time ago. Even if Tang Qian's judgment is right, he can stretch it a second time, using his super airborne and wingspan to dodge the opponent's shot blocker's attack.This set of actions was all sketched in James' mind, and all possible situations were calculated by him one by one.

This kind of ball is really difficult to block shots. Based on Tang Qian's current shot-blocking ability alone, the chance of blocking shots is less than 1%.

But still the same sentence, James picked the wrong time tonight. Before the bronze block cards are exhausted, no matter how much he tries, it will be useless.

Snapped!
"BLOCKED!!!!!!!!!!!! BLOCKED AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!! Hot again defending the Lakers' penalty area!!!!!!!!!!!! Hot again Blocked King!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Seeing this scene, Bill McDonald shouted excitedly, because how many people in the league can block James head-on?Because how many people in the league dare to block James head-on?But now he knows, in Los Angeles, in the Lakers, in the Staples Center, there is one.

The Lakers attacked, Nash dribbled and made a breakthrough, Ray Allen stuck hard, Nash passed the ball, Metta Shiping just wanted to shoot, Bosh's palm appeared in front of him.Metta Shiping had no choice but to pass the ball again, Kobe received the ball, a series of fake moves managed to get past Dwyane Wade, but just as he was about to make a shot, LeBron James' defense turned again.

In the end, the Lakers were blocked from an offense for 24 seconds.

In other words, for a full 24 seconds, the Lakers didn't get any shooting opportunities, no matter how they passed the ball, it didn't work.

At this moment, the fans of Staples finally felt the strength of the defending champion. This kind of defensive rotation speed and tacit understanding, they are not afraid of losing their position at all, okay!If you pass one, the second one will appear in front of you, and if you get the second one done, the third one will appear in front of you. Even Kobe, there seems to be no other good way except to shoot the ball reluctantly.

It can be seen from this that although Kobe's personal statistics are extremely good this season, his offensive ability and kaleidoscope attributes are not as good as before.Otherwise, in front of the peak Kobe, any defensive rotation is a piece of paper, which he can easily tear up at any time.

It's not that the Heat's defensive rotation is really impeccable, it's just that Kobe's personal ability has declined, that's all.

But Los Angeles is not San Antonio. The smooth team passing, team cooperation, and team tactics are simply impossible for them to play now.And when personal abilities can't tear apart the opponent's defense, this passing tactic is actually the best attacking skill.It's a pity that for the Lakers this season...that is completely an unrealistic luxury.

They haven't completed the run-in of the "Four Heavenly Kings", and they still want to achieve the smooth conduction of the Spurs?
It's just daydreaming.

So as soon as the Heat got serious, the overall offense of the Lakers immediately languished.

A few minutes passed, and the score between the two sides was still 104-107. The 3-point difference was as if frozen, making it difficult to move.

It is extremely unfavorable for the Lakers that the comparable scores do not change.

Because they are now the laggards, if the time is up, the Miami Heat will win.

So gradually, a sense of anxiety quietly spread within the Lakers.

As for Miami, the atmosphere was slightly abnormal, because LeBron James, as the head of the team, actually blocked the opponent's center 4 blocks in a row. This situation has never happened this season.In fact, ever since Yao Ming retired and the Sharks got old, there has never been such a thing in James' game history.

In this era of overall downturn of inside players, the biggest beneficiary is LeBron James.

It is true that after coming to the Heat, James' shooting has also fully blossomed, but this is just an appearance.Because James' shooting state needs to be brought up in a breakthrough state. To make a very simple analogy, if James' breakthrough is blocked in a game, it will be difficult to open his shooting bag.

Later, the head coach of the Warriors, Steve Kerr, once pointed out this problem. He called LeBron James "Sometimes. Shooter", which means intermittent shooter.The source of this word is that "Zen Master" Phil Jackson called Scottie Pippen back then, which means that Pippen's shots are sometimes reliable and sometimes unreliable.Why do you say that?Because after analyzing a large amount of James' game data and game videos, Cole discovered an implicit law of James' performance, that is, most games need to use breakthroughs to open up the shooting feel.Otherwise, no matter how good-looking his shooting data is, there are certain limitations.

It's a pity that no one in the NBA has seen through this rule. Everyone thinks that James has repaired his weakest point.Especially this season, more than 40% of the three-pointers, more than 41% of the mid-range 2-pointers, and more than 44% of the long-range 2-pointers, all over the shooting hotspots within the three-point line, are like blindfolds, so that everyone The team is terrified of James' personal ability.It wasn't until the finals that Popovich started the 2-meter defensive tactic again that people woke up. It turned out that James' shooting ability was not as dazzling as the statistics.

Much better than with the Cavaliers, but still not a reliable shooter.

But now, no one sees this problem.

Steve Kerr hasn't concluded yet.

Except for No. 29 of the Lakers, except Tang Qian.

So he is the only person in the entire league who knows James' weaknesses.

none of them.

And tonight, he happened to have this condition.

Conditions that capture James' weaknesses.

The staff of the Heat team are very understanding, because they feel that the team's No. 6 is a little angry.

So basketball continued to be handed over to James.

In an instant, this game became a stage of one offense and one defense.

James wants to smash Tang Qian's defense, and Tang Qian wants to block James' offense.

The fighting emotions between the two have gradually ignited.

In fact, the alliance status of the two people is not the same at all, but tonight, they became opponents by mistake.

James broke through again, and Ci Shiping was passed by again. After being torn apart by James, Ci Shiping suddenly felt powerless in his heart.When did he become so vulnerable in defense?When did I change from a defensive gate to a defensive loophole?With my own ability, can I continue to play in the NBA?Is it... time to end your career?
In fact, this season is Ci Shiping's last NBA performance, because after the 12-13 season, he quickly turned into a scumbag, from a main player to a bench, to the water cooler.

I'm going to tear your defenses apart!Orientals!

James' gaze was completely different from before, with a little anger and a little ferocity.

This is a gliding layup under the basket. Based on James' take-off distance and take-off height, this low-handed layup is actually extremely difficult to block.But this is not a problem for Tang Qian now, as if it was set, Tang Qian bent his knees, bounced up, and then accurately blocked James' gliding basketball.

the fifth!This is Tang Qian's fifth block for James tonight! ! !All of this has become unreal! ! !

"The [-]th!!!!!!!!! This is the [-]th block!!!!!!!!! LA's inside is solid tonight!!!!!!! The Lakers have Tangyrant in the paint tonight! !!!!!!!!!" Bill McDonald's voice became more and more excited, because he has never liked LeBron James.Why?It may be that he is a fan of "Magic" Johnson, so seeing a "large organizer of the new era", he inevitably feels unhappy.

This is human nature, especially for older people, they all hope that the veteran stars they have witnessed with their own eyes will not be surpassed or suppressed by younger generations.

But the Lakers' offense was blocked again, and the Heat also defended against the Lakers' offense.

The score is still deadlocked, motionless.

Seeing now, the atmosphere in the Staples Center has become lively. Not only is Tang Qian's strong block at the basket, but also the most important point is that they see the team's hope of winning.Unlike the previous big score difference, the 3-point score difference is actually very small in a basketball game.If you can survive this stalemate period, maybe the goddess of victory will wave to Los Angeles.

As far as the Lakers are concerned, the continuation of the winning streak is second, and defeating the defending champion Miami's Big Three is the real meaning.

Unknowingly, the game concentration of both sides is rapidly improving.

It's completely different from the plain, ordinary one at the beginning.

"The Heat are attacking, and LeBron James is still holding the ball. Will he choose to attack by himself this round? Will he still challenge China Hot? Or will he choose to pass? Can the Lakers defend?" Bill. Macdonald is indeed a veteran commentator, and his skills in explaining and creating atmosphere are very profound.Driven by his voice, the Lakers fans in the entire Staples Center were all attentive and fixed their eyes.

"Defense!!!!!!"

"Defense!!!!!!!!!!!!"

The live DJ also started shouting loudly that this is his job and what he wants to do most now.

With defense down, the Lakers still have a chance to win!

"Challenge?" LeBron James raised his eyebrows after hearing this word: "Is he worthy of me using this word?"

On this ball, James stopped at the top arc, he made a tactical gesture, and then the entire Heat team pulled away in a wide range.Just like Irving challenged Kobe that day, this is a real one-on-one ball, the kind that attracts the attention of the audience.

Winning, talking about it with relish, sweeping away the unhappiness before.

If you lose, James will definitely not want to read the headlines of tomorrow's sports newspaper.

Just when Ci Shiping squatted down and was about to try his best to defend, a voice suddenly came from behind him: "Meita, step back." You..." Tang Qian said with an elite light in his eyes: "He is coming for me, how can I not follow? One-on-one, it's just what I want."

"Well~ okay~" Ci Shiping saw the desire in the eyes of this Dongfang teammate, and the name of that desire was the desire to fight.

He wants to fight James?He is eager to fight James?This... lunatic, who does he think he is facing?In case of failure...

Although Ci Shiping thought so, but out of respect for Tang Qian, he stepped back, and the entire section from the top arc to the free throw line was completely blank.The players of the Lakers and the Heat all retreated to the corners and near the three-point line on the wing, because they all knew that for the next time, they only needed to be spectators, and don't go in to interfere.

In that case, James would not agree, Tang Qian would not agree, and the fans in the audience would not agree.

The audience opened ONE.TO.ONE. Tang Qian did not expect that he would be able to meet this kind of treatment so soon.

This is the opportunity he hopes for, and the opportunity he looks forward to.

And the opponent also has enough weight.

At this moment, only Tang Qian was left in James' eyes, and only James was left in Tang Qian's eyes.

To be honest, with such a large open space, if James chooses a three-point jumper from the top arc, then Tang Qian has nothing to do, and the Lakers have nothing to do, because no one can jump on it again.But Tang Qian knew that James would not do this, no matter how rational and reasonable he usually played, it was impossible for him to do that in this situation.Otherwise, tomorrow he will be branded a "coward".

Because this time the audience started the singles, he was the initiator, and as the initiator, he had no way out to give up halfway.

Therefore, Tang Qian only needs to guard against the opponent's attack in the penalty area.

After all, the penalty area is the center's territory. If James wants to save face, he must do so.

After finding the offensive rhythm, James acted. Like the sharp sword, he started the impact from the Lakers' top arc three-point line.

"James has acted. The way he adopts is to dribble in a straight line and break through in a straight line. This is his best way to break through, and he is also the best way to exert force! How will he deal with it?" Bill McDonald opened and closed his mouth quickly. Said: "Tang also moved, just in the way of James, he walked very fast, did not hesitate at all, and did not lose his position at all!"

"James didn't slow down, he didn't slow down, he was still advancing at a high speed, what is he going to do? Pull the bar for a layup? Change hands for a layup? Or gliding for a layup? Or, still choose to dunk directly?" Bill. MacDonald said: "Oh~ he jumped up, he jumped up, he didn't do anything! He's going to...head-to-head!!!"

That's right, James chose to force the ball hard, using his explosive power + acceleration + impact + superhuman physique to directly attack Tang Qian's defense head-on.Don't think it's because James has no brains. In fact, the tank-style layup is one of his trump cards. Because the above four factors add up, let alone an outside player, even if he is an inside player, even a big center, he has confidence. Forcibly swept away.After all, LeBron James knows his physical energy well.

He doesn't believe that an Eastern center can withstand his "tank layup".

Because even Dwight Howard, who is not injured, is not sure that he can defend this layup.

What is my 265+ pound body for?It was born for confrontation and forcible crushing! ! !

So on the 29th, you're screwed.

James is full of confidence in his layup skills, because in the Heat's team practice game, all the Heat's insiders, including Bosh, expressly prohibited himself from using this trick.The reason is not difficult to guess, afraid of pain, afraid of making a fool of yourself, and even more afraid of getting hurt.

But what surprised him slightly was that the oriental man on the opposite side didn't take a step back, and stared at him sharply like a sword.

This guy's courage is not bad, stronger than most inside players in the league.

But...it doesn't work, does it?

With a slightly cruel smile, James slammed into him fiercely. Although Tang Qian had gained a lot of weight this season, reaching 258 pounds, he was still no match for the outside player in front of him.Moreover, he is so much taller than James, and his tonnage will be much lighter than James'.Tang Qian estimated that if he wanted to match James' physique at this time, he would need at least 280 with his height, no, he would need at least 300+ pounds.But right now, it's simply impossible.And this guy's bench press is still monster level, stronger than O'Neill, and Tang Qian's 380-pound limit bench press is not as good as the opponent.

You must know that 190KG is still the bench press weight of James' rookie period. At that time, he was far from reaching the peak strength period of the human body, so James' bench press is the same as his physical measurement. What is the maximum value is always a mystery.But in short, it's very exaggerated, very abnormal.Tang Qian is an inside player, a 7-footer, and he can't beat him. It can be seen that this guy's overall physical quality is terrible.

However, Tang Qian still jumped up and greeted him head-on.

Because this is his center forward style, if you want to be tough, I will be tougher than you, otherwise... what kind of center does the old man play?

Just go outside and fly a kite! ! !

boom! ! !
Just when he came into contact with the other party, Tang Qian felt a sharp pain in his chest, as if he had been hit by a big truck. That kind of force simply didn't seem like something a human could do.Impact force + explosive force + weight, James is no different from a running off-road vehicle at this moment. It is not impossible for ordinary people to be hit and have their chest bones shattered.

But...it's nothing!
Not to mention that you are still a flesh and blood body, even if you are really Iron Man, if you dare to layup casually in front of me, I will slap you away with all my strength! ! !Because I'm an insider, I play as a center forward! ! ! ! ! !
"No, hot was pushed away by James' huge impact. James wants to...w, what? What is this??? This is, this is a hand! This is a hot hand! A hot body Although he was knocked away, his hand was still firmly on James' basketball!!! oh~my~ this spirit is really amazing!!!" Bill McDonald's voice, Tang Qian There was no time to listen, because all his attention was focused on his right hand.

I'm afraid that if I don't focus, my opponent will break free.

James was also shocked. He didn't expect that even if he knocked the opponent's body away, this oriental man's hand could still hit his own basketball?This guy, why are his arms so long? ? ?This is at least 230CM or more, right? ? ?Don't all Orientals have very short wingspan? ? ?
In fact, James still guessed less, because Tang Qian's wingspan has reached 7 feet 9 inches, which is 236.22CM.

Although it is not as abnormal as the "big bamboo pole" Manute Ball and Mark Eaton's 250+CM wingspan, it can be regarded as the top 5 in NBA history.And the people ranked in the top 5, except for Wilt Chamberlain, the rest of them are some "silly big guys" with mediocre physical fitness, but they only have a body and wingspan, coupled with athletic ability, in fact, they are the most tall and not Not scary.

And this kind of wingspan of the top 5 in history was not expected by James, so this ball, he still did not escape, and was completely blocked by Tang Qian again.

"GOD!!!!!!!!!GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!! He is Goliath tonight!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He is Goliath tonight!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!" Bill Macdonald's loud hiss suddenly sounded in the audience.

At this moment, James finally remembered something.

It's not that there are no Orientals to contain him. The big man of the Rockets made him feel sad when he attacked like this.

For a moment, in his eyes, the number 29 of the Lakers and the number 11 of the Rockets seemed to overlap.

PS: Yao Ming is one of James' defensive nemesis. There is nothing to say about this, because James is miserable against Yao Ming in terms of career record and personal data.Can you believe it?When James faced Yao Ming, he only shot 38.9% from the field, and in 11 games, this data sample is not too small. After all, two people, one in the East and the other in the West, have only two chances to meet each other in a season.Not to mention Yao Ming's own statistics, anyway, when James faced the Rockets with Yao Ming, his shooting percentage was pitifully low.This is really a great comfort to Yao Mi, Xiao Zi.
