Chapter 196 James' Reasonable Playing Style
Director Zhang said with a smile: "This is the role of stars, because their offensive threat is great, and after attracting double teams, teammates have the opportunity to play more and less, which can make the game very simple. Of course, the Cavaliers The side should also have a better response, but their current lineup on the field still has problems with defense..."

Just like Dwayne Jones facing Cook, he didn't deliberately put it so far, but he just couldn't defend it, and zooming in on Z would have the same effect.

So Mike Brown quickly brought Hughes up, hoping to supplement the strong rotation of the team's off-ball side through him.

But then, the offensive efficiency of both teams declined. In more than a minute, only Hughes hit a mid-range shot. Li Chengming caught the ball and threw the ball under the basket, which caused Jones to foul and made two free throws.

At the end of the last three quarters, the score was 85:91, still 6 points behind.

In this quarter, due to Hughes' foul troubles, he didn't play much, and the Cavaliers' offensive rhythm was affected a little.

Although James tried his best to break through and achieved some results, the overall effect was not good.

If you only look at efficiency, he played well today, and he is heading for a triple-double, but many of his points were in transition rounds, or forced fouls, which is a bit of a star call, and he has 7 assists out of 5. This kind of "organization" is obviously not qualified.

Even his free throws today were not accurate, he only hit 9 of 5 shots, and even Howard made 8 of 5 shots.

The on-site commentary mentioned James' problem, thinking that if the Cavaliers want to win in the fourth quarter, they must look at his performance.

Hughes' explosion today is certainly a surprise, but James is the basic set of this team.

This game is precisely because he was actually restricted, just like last year's finals, so the Cavaliers played so hard.

If James can play comfortably and enter the rhythm of the Cavaliers, the game situation will definitely be different.

And if this game really goes to the end, it still depends on James at the critical moment. After all, Hughes may fall back at that time, or his heart may not be strong enough and suddenly lose the chain.

As for whether I, Zhan, will lose the chain, it's impossible, absolutely impossible!

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, players on both sides who had been troubled by fouls continued to play on the court. The Cavaliers were led by Hughes, and the Magic was naturally Lee Cheng-ming. Turkoglu also came on the court to replace Lewis. Yell mix.

As a result, the two sides suddenly started to confront each other. Li Chengming hit the jumper with the ball in the same position three times in a row. It was completely unreasonable, and he didn't even give the opponent a chance to defend.

He has no warning and is very fast. The Cavaliers arranged for Gooden to match him. The size and flexibility are enough. He can withstand a little and will not be swayed by him as easily as Big Z. But Li Chengming has a good hand. Now, no matter how he made the shot, Gooden couldn't even grasp the timing of his shot, so how could he interfere?
After all, his flesh is firmer now, and his body shape is more... After science, fake moves have also become sexy, and the "little" shoulders are shaking very flexibly, as if he can connect to the next move at any time.

And there are many changes, whether it's a turn-around jumper, a dry pull-up jumper that turns around and hits the ball and takes a step back, or a drift shot after turning forward or turning back, it's really hard to guard against.

In the end, it is necessary to go around the front and block the passing route, so that the Magic can't get the ball to him, so it can be regarded as slightly holding down his performance.

But at this time, Li Chengming began to take advantage of the situation and turn off the ball, covering for his teammates, and then popping up to open up space, hitting the basket down, or his teammates broke through and followed to grab offensive rebounds for a second attack.

There are more skills, and the offensive methods will naturally become more diverse. The most important thing is that Li Chengming himself is embarrassed to do some blue-collar work that seems easy to have no data. It is not easy for this kind of player to really limit it.

Just like Van Gundy's answer to the media's question about Li Chengming's ability to be an All-Star, his ability on the offensive end even surpassed the average All-Star. Among today's insiders, he can at least rank among the top fifteen.

Of course, it is only about offense.

In fact, he didn't mention the top ten, because he already felt a little conservative.

After all, I don't want to bring too much criticism to my disciples, and among the [-] teams in the league, which team doesn't have a good offensive insider?
After all, Li Chengming is only in his first season now, and it is not over yet. If he can go through the baptism of the playoffs and continue to maintain this performance in the next season, then he is not the kind of short-lived meteor, but It's a real star.

But the Magic's efficient offense, the Cavaliers can actually catch up, because the Magic's outside line can't prevent Hughes, and after he scored two goals and provoked the nerves of the Magic players, he even used his containment power Also started to assist teammates, in terms of effect, it is the same as Li Chengming.

Hughes's technical movements are immature. A big problem is that he is not good at handling the ball, he looks a little stiff, and he is easy to drop the ball. This makes his breakthrough lethality limited and his shooting is not stable.

In fact, as a 20+ scorer in the past, he was also suspected of accumulating shots to score points.

The performance of a player must not only look at the data, but also look at the impact on the game in addition to the content displayed on the court. The most intuitive result theory is to look at the team's record.

So like those who play very good data in weak teams, they are often considered as bad guys, unless you are a high-ranking pick who has just been drafted for a year or two, and the strength of your own team is relatively weak, and you still focus on training and leveling. , the early record is almost acceptable.

After coming to the Cavaliers, Hughes was frequently injured, which caused his physical fitness to decline a lot. The basic defense can be guaranteed by relying on experience and awareness, but he has no speed in sports warfare. deadly.

But today he really ate a meal of dumplings, and the deterrent power of his timely and ineffective shots has greatly increased.

And after he scored 4 points and 2 assists, the Cavaliers immediately replaced James, and the ball returned to James' hands.

Van Gundy also quickly replaced Howard and Bogans to strengthen the defense.

At 8 minutes, almost all the main players on both sides returned to the court. James rested for a few minutes and began to prepare for the attack with high spirits.

At this time, his physical advantage is highlighted. The Magic still use the previous defensive strategy, but James himself will also make adjustments.

He may have also discussed with the coaching staff, and he increased his shot percentage in the mid-range position.

In fact, it's not that James can't shoot COSCO, but the efficiency cannot be guaranteed, but if the opponent's defensive strategy is to put it here, then he can always make it.

Of course, 4 out of 2 is definitely not satisfactory. After all, now is the time to chase points, and the success rate of the attack must be guaranteed.

Fortunately, Big Z had enough time to rest today. In order to defend against James, the Magic's overall defense line was relatively close to the free throw line. Offensive rebounds, once scored, once passed out and then organized the offense.

Of course, the biggest role of James after playing is actually to liberate Hughes.

Because the Magic's defensive arrangement can only target one point at a time, it is actually very effective against such a big-core team.

But today Hughes broke out. James is a very smart player. Of course, he also knows that when he is behind, he should pass the ball to a more confident teammate. This is called "playing reasonably."

So he sent out three assists in a row, all of which were given to Hughes, and the assists finally reached double figures.
