last super center

Chapter 105 Confronting the Chosen One!
The first half of the game was over in a flash. During the intermission, even Su Mu, who had unlimited physical strength, felt tremendous physical pressure.

He wanted to block James' impact time and time again, but was ruthlessly run over by James again and again.

Such a way of playing is rare in his life, and he has always maintained the same breakthrough power under high-intensity confrontation. Su Mu must admit that the title of superman James is not for nothing.

Thinking back to the 2018 season, the journey of the playoffs that made James truly a god, almost single-handedly led the Cleveland Cavaliers to the finals. Although they were swept 4:0, they also played amazing average data.

In the first half of the fight, Aaron Gordon was also exhausted.

Sitting on the bench, Aaron Gordon panted heavily, grabbed the sports drink beside him and drank it wildly.

In the starting lineup, apart from Su Mu who played 21 minutes, Aaron Gordon played the most minutes.

Fighting James on the front line, even though Gordon is young and strong, he can't stand the crazy sprint of the thirty-year-old man.

With historical physical fitness, even Aaron Gordon, who is super giant and anti-armored, seemed helpless when facing James.

And when Mozgov couldn't defend against Su Mu, and TT had nothing to do, Gasol moved to the fifth position, James moved to the fourth position, and the challenges facing Aaron Gordon intensified again , was attacked by James for several rounds and easily scored points.

This is also a problem for the Lakers at this stage. Although Aaron Gordon can play four, he has been playing the role of small forward before, and he is obviously not suitable for the role-playing of the new season.

And James has played a guest role as an inside player before. During the Heat, he even gained weight for a while, reaching the role of the fifth position.

The vastly different levels of experience between the two make the gap even more stark.

Players in the fourth position generally do not move fast, and Aaron Gordon's height and wingspan are fully capable of undertaking excellent firepower offenses in the fourth position.

but.

Aaron Gordon's lack of experience has always been a big problem, and the length of the campaign is also one of the biggest factors that plague players.

This kind of problem needs to be solved, but as the ambiguity of positions gradually expands, what Su Mu is worried about is not the compatibility of positions, but how to build a suitable system for the new era, so that every player can enter it , without any rejection.

Just like the current Warriors' style of play, many players can perform well in the Warriors system built by the Splash Brothers and Draymond Green.

Unlike the Spurs' stable GDP system, the Warriors' team system is more flexible and more in line with the future development direction.

Aaron Gordon and his striker partner are very important, able to attack and defend, will be an absolute offensive weapon in the small ball era!
On the other side, in the Cavaliers' away lounge, at the end of halftime, James sweated a lot, and his undulating chest also indicated that James' consumption in the first half was also huge.

Difficult offensive and defensive battles!
James underestimated Su Mu's defensive strength, and also underestimated the overall defensive strength of the Lakers.

With Su Mu at the core, the Lakers' defense was not as chaotic as imagined.

When he couldn't start the situation against Su Mu, the players on the court seemed to have stagnated in offense. Under the restrictions of the opponent, the scoring efficiency was not as good as expected.

"We need to cheer up, the opponent is more difficult than we thought!"

The head coach of the Cavaliers, David Blatt, was born in Framingham, Massachusetts, USA, a former American basketball player and basketball coach.

His coaching style is quite obvious, he is known for his good communication and is considered an offensive genius.

According to Jeremy Pargo, "Blatt understands that different players have different emotions and attitudes and knows how to integrate them."

To be honest, Blatt did a good job as a novice coach in his first year at the Cleveland Cavaliers.

If it weren't for the injuries of Irving and Love, Blatt is likely to coach the NBA team to win the championship in the first season as the head coach.

But obviously, his life is not as hard as Tyronn Lue. In the second season, he took over 42 games of the team and was fired by the team after winning 73.2%. Our director Lu also started to compete for hegemony The career of the NBA journey.

and!
just now!

Blatter, who has excellent tactical skills, clearly observed the Lakers' suppression of the Cavaliers' offense in the first half.

Except for James, who can take advantage of the absolute blasting point, the confrontation in the rest of the positions did not take any advantage.

Of course, he never imagined that Aaron Gordon's single defense against James and Su Mu's help defense inside could consume so much physical energy of the little emperor. Such a high-intensity physical confrontation could never last the entire first half. Never stopped!
From the first attack, the war between James and Su Mu has already begun!
"LeBron, you need to connect the team and make the players perform better!"

David Blatt has a clear mind. His desire to rely on James to penetrate the opponent alone is unlikely to come true. The next best thing is that in the second half, David Blatt will use James' strong vision ability to help the Cavaliers once again. Master the absolute initiative on the pitch!

However, the first attack at the beginning of the second half surprised David Blatt!
After the intermission, the little emperor was still accumulating his physical fitness. In the first round after playing, James directly turned into the center of ball control, and Irving and JR temporarily became spot-up shooters, and their roles were directly reduced by more than half.

As Irving, who likes to attack with the ball, when he no longer assumes the role of point guard and is only a spot-up shooter, that situation is really too bad!

Without excellent defense, nor excellent catch and shoot skills, Irving's role on the court at this time is embarrassing, and the negative effects seem to be more obvious.

Substitution?

Glancing at Dellavedova and Shumpert on the bench, Blatter is still quite conflicted.

Irving's biggest role is to attack. If Irving is not allowed to attack, it is equivalent to cutting off his own arm, which is extremely detrimental to the Cavaliers.

But James also needs the ball. His ability to connect is stronger than Irving, and his ability to attract defense is no less than Irving.

But there is only one basketball, how to distribute the ball has become the biggest problem.

Therefore, the rise of 3D players in the small ball era is not unreasonable.

Can attack and defend, the most important thing is not to occupy any possession of the ball.

The strongest players such as Klay Thompson, Danny Green, Ariza
These are representatives of 3D players well-known to fans.

Some people will say that Paul George can also be counted among the 3D players. At the beginning of his career, George’s role was indeed more like a 3D player, but as he continued to improve and his ability to hold the ball continued to improve, the later Paul George The ball-handling attacker who is more inclined to the court is not a pure 3D player.

Compared with Paul George after the All-Star, Ray Allen at the end of his career is more like a typical 3D player.

But what is even better than the traditional 3D is that Ray Allen's offensive ability with the ball is top-notch. Whether with the ball or without the ball, Ray Allen can show his strong strength on the court.

Most importantly, this guy's defense is also very good!
To say that the one who sacrificed the most among the Big Three of the Green Army is probably the gentleman who once led the Bucks and the Supersonics.

In his life, James has partnered with many players, but in terms of the strongest 3D, I am afraid that only Ray Allen in Miami.

Although he was 37 years old at that time, the role of the court was still very obvious.

The absolutely tied three-pointer against the Spurs in G6 can be called one of the greatest scenes since the 21st century.

Danny Green?

Huang Ama during the Los Angeles Lakers period was really unshakable, and his state declined sharply. In terms of game performance, it was indeed not as good as Ray Allen's performance in the Miami Heat.

When James became the core player with the ball, a smile appeared on the corner of Su Mu's mouth.

What Su Mu was afraid of was James who relied on his own strength to keep attacking. When the rhythm slowed down and James wanted to play the same performance in the first half, Su Mu would not agree!

Using the pick-and-roll to find teammates, Su Mu was still able to quickly defend in place, not giving James any room to pass the ball easily.

Push him close to the three-point line, with a 33% three-point shooting rate, James would not choose a three-point shot under normal circumstances.

The Cavaliers tried to run the floor, but couldn't get past the younger, more dynamic Lakers.

Pope, Gordon, Su Mu.
These three have raised the Lakers' defensive system to several levels. The strength on paper is not enough for the opponent, but on the basketball court, it is never the strength on paper. What kind of performance a player can play in actual combat is the judgment. The best standard of player level.

The regular season is as fierce as a tiger, but what is the scene in the playoffs?
Whenever you meet an opponent with a strong defensive back, Shui La's shooting rate is simply appalling. Coupled with his defensive performance, it is purely useless on the court.

After luck for a long time, James found a very embarrassing problem, this shit, purely has no good chance!
Give it to the insider's sister-in-law?
Su Mu behind him circled forward to defend, and it was easy to make a pass error under the huge pressure.

The strength of Jiasou is there, an All-Star player, but after all, he is old, and he is facing Su Mu. James shook his head. It would be embarrassing to ask a veteran according to the previous standard.

After a long time, I still need to attack by myself?

James shook his head, in that case, let's do it!
With only five seconds left in the attack time, James had to make a strong breakthrough.

A prepared breakthrough and a hasty breakthrough are obviously not a concept. This time Aaron Gordon did not feel the huge physical pressure in the first half.

The body is tightly attached to James, and his arms are raised high. Once James wants to take off forcibly, Gordon may not be able to block him, but he can definitely interfere.

Quickly coming to the basket, James didn't choose to push up, but stopped in the paint area, trying to use fake moves to shake Su Mu's center of gravity and trick him into taking off.

Sure enough, the kid Aaron Gordon was stunned and jumped up without thinking.

James smiled. Sure enough, the defensive predictions of these young people are really terrible!
But what does Gordon have to do with me, Su Mu?
At the moment James shot for a layup, he slapped the ball out of the sideline!
"Oh, it's so comfortable!" Su Mu felt comfortable all over, the feeling of blocking the cap was really great!
"Ding! The hidden mission [The Disappearing Little Emperor] was successfully triggered!"

"Keep LeBron James to 10 points on the next possession!"

"Task conditions: 1. The host needs to face James head-on; 2. The time calculation starts from this moment; 3. Ten minutes are not included within 10 minutes!"

"The status of the reward is unknown, and the condition of the punishment is unknown"

After hating the little emperor, the hidden mission is here?
Sure enough, the system took extra care of these superstars.

Within ten minutes of the limit, Li Xuan bared his teeth happily, which is too outrageous.

There is still more than one quarter left. For a player like James, wouldn't it be a matter of course to score ten points?
Do you really think I am invincible now?

One-on-one, it was still difficult for Su Mu to limit the little emperor's aggressiveness.

But the system doesn't seem to require one-on-one defense, it just needs to stand in front of him, isn't that all right?
"It turns out there's room to use."

In this way, the difficulty of completing the hidden tasks will decrease, and the probability of getting rewards will rise linearly.

During the timeout, Su Mu made some rare suggestions to Scott.

"The generals of the Cavaliers are not as powerful as they imagined. All their tactics originate from LeBron James. As long as we strangle the arrow characters, all problems will be solved."

"My opinion is that let Aaron Gordon and I double-team James. Anyway, we are younger and faster. As long as the rotation is fast enough, the Cavaliers want to beat us. It is not as easy as imagined.

68:68, 3 minutes before the end of the third quarter, the two sides drew, and the score was not as high as expected.

"Of course, this is just my suggestion, coach, I think James is the most important thing!"

Scott touched his chin, obviously thinking about the feasibility of Su Mu's plan.

In the first three quarters, James performed quite well whether he was connecting the teams or scoring by himself.

With James off the court, the Cavaliers will inevitably fluctuate without a backbone. The Lakers' several overtakes were all during James' rest period.

Although their strength on paper is strong, the degree of running-in is not as high as expected.

David Blatt obviously knew the importance of James, and he didn't dare to let him rest for a long time at all. Once there was a disadvantage on the field, James had to go into battle again before his butt was hot, so he quickly wiped the ground for these teammates. butt.

If the Cavaliers can win, these people will give the little emperor two knocks.

"Indeed, in the Cavaliers, only James can play."

Scott nodded and agreed with Li Xuan's statement.

Scott immediately made a deployment, Aaron Gordon and Su Mu double-teamed James, preventing him from easily playing the ball.

So far in the game, Scott has completely forgotten what kind of team the Lakers are.

No. [-] in the West, you are facing No. [-] in the East!
A group of recruits really restricted James, and the others didn't care?
It's no wonder that Scott would have such thoughts. After all, the first three quarters played back and forth, and even he himself forgot that the Lakers are not as good as the Cavaliers in terms of absolute strength.

Re-entering the field, everyone was surprised to find that James was no longer a defender, but two generals, Su Mu and Aaron Gordon, standing in front of him.
