After the confession failed, I went to the NBA to play and lose weight

Chapter 191 Defending James

James is very strong. This should be a consensus. There is no need for bench press and deadlift data to prove it. Just look at the game, against those big centers in the air, and even being dragged by the opponent. It can be seen.

It's just that when defending Li Chengming, not only the strength of the arms and legs is needed, but also the waist and abdomen, and the whole body needs to be able to exert strength at the same time, because Li Chengming is not only pushing with strength, but also his weight.

Leaning back, the weight of more than 260 kilograms was instantly pressed down, which is not something ordinary people can bear.

And James also experienced the feeling of an opponent being broken through by himself with a tank, except that he didn't have an elbow.

Elbow support is actually an action that is not easy to make judgments in an instant, but for stars with whistle protection, and when the offense is favorable, the referee's calls will be biased towards the offensive star, such as James and Kobe. Don't do such movements, otherwise, their elbows will be talked about.

If Ma Long's black elbows are often used to intimidate people, then they are doing certain actions in the offense to benefit themselves.

Although Li Chengming is gradually getting used to some uses of the support hand in the NBA, he can use it or not, because he has no direct needs in this regard.

Like now, James may be due to the face of being a superstar facing a rookie, especially because he is known for his strength, so he did not flop or withdraw the stool. As a result, Li Chengming was directly crushed to the basket.

Seeing this, Gooden hurried up to double-team. Li Chengming passed the ball to Lewis before the double-team formed. The latter made a layup and helped the Magic open the scoring.

Director Zhang immediately smiled and said: "After Li Chengming started, the first attack was successful. He also told the Cavaliers that he must be prevented from receiving the ball first, and then double-teamed. Only in this way can he be prevented from scoring. Of course , This will not stop him from passing to his teammates."

In fact, no matter whether he is playing the third position or the fourth position, according to Li Chengming's technical characteristics, especially his advantage in the low post, the Magic will let him start from the low post.

The only difference is that the positions of other players are different. If Howard is on the court, there will be one point more inside. Otherwise, they will shoot all over the place. Only Li Chengming is in the low post, and the others are lying in ambush on the outside waiting to be double-teamed. Move the ball.

And Van Gundy's arrangement today is more like a tit-for-tat match between Li Chengming and James.

Back on the defensive end, James held the ball at the top of the arc, and Li Chengming naturally stepped forward to lead the defense.

In fact, there is no difference between him, Turkoglu, or Lewis. At any rate, he can still withstand James' first collision, so that he won't be able to break through better after being knocked out of his position.

Of course, James dribbled the ball and turned around to wipe out half of his body. In the end, he just relied on his speed to get rid of Li Chengming's oppression.

But he didn't expect that there was another person waiting there on purpose, but he couldn't help but bumped into him directly.

Lewis was knocked to the ground because the defensive position was established in advance outside the three-second zone, and this was actually a tactical trap specially arranged by the Magic for James' breakthrough before the game.

On the one hand, this is naturally a successful defense. James made an offensive foul and the ball was transferred.

On the other hand, it is a more important strategic value, which is to make James foul and get him into foul trouble.

It can be seen that although James looked calm when facing Li Chengming on the surface, he did not seem to be affected in the slightest, or had any special mentality towards him, but in fact, James had just squeezed past Li Chengming. After defending, he was still a little careless in his joy.

In the end, James, who had a fruitless dispute with the referee, saw that the Magic had started to serve, so he had to retreat to the frontcourt to defend first.

Yoga said: "This ball is a pre-set trap. Obviously, the Magic made defensive adjustments to James' style of play before the game. This may also be an important reason for putting Li Chengming in the starting lineup."

Director Zhang nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, Li Chengming's speed is slow, but James' breakthrough, if he doesn't use pick-and-rolls, often after giving him a little space, he can directly push the defender in front of him with an acceleration. , so it is called a tank breakthrough, and it is very vigorous.

"But Li Chengming's weight and strength are not afraid of James in the confrontation. James is not even able to push him. If he uses too much force at this time, he may be called an offensive foul directly. And when his speed is slowed down, Later, facing the Magic team's defender, he needs to make some changes in a hurry, and he hesitates and makes a mistake."

When it comes to tactics, Director Zhang is all about it.

On the court, the Cavaliers had another offensive disadvantage. After Ira Newbell's outside three-pointer hit the iron, in the fast break of the Magic, Larry Hughes chased and cut off Evans' ball, and hit his thigh out of bounds , Frontcourt ball.

The Magic attacked in a position, and Turkoglu gave Li Chengming again after receiving the ball, and Li Chengming still faced James.

Although James didn't want to face him either, but after running around for some reason, they met again.

Hughes stared at Turkoglu at the side, while looking back nervously ready to double-team at any time.

Unexpectedly, Li Chengming turned over and shot a jumper after two steps this time. James reacted quickly, but he was still a step slower. The ball crossed his head and drew an arc and landed safely.

"After Li Chengming came up, he had an assist and a jumper, and he hit James twice. James had already committed a foul on him, so he didn't dare to jump too hard..."

Offensive fouls will be counted as an individual turnover and foul. Of course, they will not be counted as team fouls, that is, the four accumulative four fouls will not be counted.

But it will still be counted as James' personal foul, so he still has to leave the field if he fouls again, and he still has to leave the field after accumulating six times.

This is another hidden effect of making James a foul, weakening his defensive attempts, and also invisibly making him cringe on the offensive end.

After all, James is only in the fifth year in the league. Although he has played a lot of games, after all, his attendance rate is very high, and he has also played in the playoffs and even the finals. But in terms of age, he entered the league as a high school student. He is still a young man.

No matter how mature and prudent the created character design is, how can it be possible that there is no "juvenile spirit" at all.

In the next attack, he found Li Chengming again. He still didn't want to pick and roll, but Li Chengming wanted to make a sudden attack. This time, Li Chengming also made a judgment in advance, and he had the experience of playing against him. Put him two steps to let him shoot outside, and wait for him to break through.

As expected, he still wanted to rush in, but Li Chengming came up to directly withstand his first wave of impact, and after letting him slow down, he and Lewis forced him to stop outside the three-second zone again.

He could only turn around and take the ball out, but was almost intercepted by Li Chengming, so he could only hold the ball in his arms.

Then Li Chengming and Lewis inserted all four hands into his arms, and the three squeezed together, instantly making James covered in a big man.

In the end, the referee called a scrimmage, and Li Chengming and James jumped the ball.

Li Chengming really thought about jumping to win, but halfway through the jump, he found that James had touched the ball and dialed it out, so he honestly stopped fantasizing.

It's okay, it's not ashamed to be inferior to the No. [-] champion in physical fitness.
