NBA: I'm really the Chosen One

Chapter 177 Lessons
What is Li Zheng's defensive level?
This problem may be intuitive enough from the data point of view. At present, Li Zheng and Kirilenko are the only two players in the league who can contribute 1 steal and 1 block per game. Li Zheng's 2.7 steals and 1.9 blocks are enough to compete for the best defensive player. , as a swingman, he can grab 7.5 rebounds per game, which is 0.2 more rebounds per game than James, and the offensive rebounds can reach 3.4 per game. It can be said that Li Zheng has already booked The position of the first defense this year.

Li Zheng is a defensive champion and defensive master. Many fans call Li Zheng the outside version. Duncan is not emphasizing Li Zheng's character, but is praising Li Zheng's solid basic skills. Li Zheng's defense is guided by coach Romar. , academic school, read the details, combine the game, defend the core players on the opposite side, oppressive but not pursue statistics. In the Olympic Games, he defended Manu Ginobili, defended James Kobe Paul and other players without losing the wind, and even defended Nowitz Insiders like Key and Stoudemire are excellent in terms of defensive coverage and dominance.

But this result is still too surprising
Gilbert Arenas, a two-time All-Star in the NBA, has reached his peak and found his own path through rigorous training methods. When he felt explosive, he scored 50 points like a bag, and even scored against Kobe Bryant. 60 points. This year, he has not been affected by knee injuries, and he averaged 26.6 points per game. He is an out-and-out star scorer.

Such a crazy player, no defensive player dares to guarantee that he can prevent him to death, but Li Zheng's shocking remarks have changed the nature of the game. Everyone is not paying attention to the outcome of the game, and even the two teams that are competing Instead of focusing on victory, only these two are experiencing the bloodiest and most primitive fight.

one-on-one.

Basketball is not like that. Basketball is a team sport. Everyone says that. Kids these days will be instilled with this view by coaches and adults when they first learn basketball. You can’t win by yourself. You have to rely on the team and trust your teammates. But now Arenas finds that there is no one around him who can help him escape from this terrible abyss.

Li Zheng is like an angel guarding hell, suppressing Arenas' inner ambition and arrogance in a dark corner. People have finally witnessed the theoretical limit of defense. Li Zheng, who is fully committed to the defensive end, is building a defense the highest standard.

Arenas was upset by Li Zheng's close defense. The most terrifying thing about Li Zheng is not that he can steal you, but that he will create a sense of urgency for the opponent that he may steal at any time, which will make the opponent's dribbling and The rhythm has become very chaotic. Rather than a steal or a block, Li Zheng prefers to use a more compact defense to gradually deform and distort the opponent's actions and mentality.

This is a guy who likes to kill people
Arenas gritted his teeth. Although Li Zheng's defense was very tough before, he definitely did not have such a terrifying sense of oppression today. Today, Li Zheng gave him the feeling that he was very energetic even when dribbling, and his shooting was even more awkward. , Li Zheng's slender arms always make his shots lose the comfortable feeling. In the two quarters, he didn't even feel a comfortable shot, and the feeling was extremely cold.

The most common thing for scorers to do is to regain their touch through a large number of shots. This is also the reason why many players shoot harder and harder. As a side effect, the team needs some dribbling, and the players also need to cover a few balls to test their hands.

But in front of Li Zheng, Arenas didn't even have the right to block. Li Zheng used his body to the limit. Arenas was enjoying Li Zheng's close pressing every minute and every second. After experiencing a lot of physical contact, he was forced to confront Li Zheng physically when dribbling. Arenas was at a disadvantage in terms of height, weight, flexibility and agility. Squeeze your confidence.

The gap in physical talent is almost an insurmountable problem for basketball players. Li is the champion, whether it is a jump of 122 cm, a speed of 10 meters in 31 seconds, or a reaction speed close to the limit value of 0.12 seconds. Arenas' lore, Arenas is only a second-round pick, he became a star with his hard work, became a great big shot, won money and honor, but he found that after climbing a mountain, countless towering people Mountain peaks appeared in front of his eyes, and Li Zheng was one of the insurmountable mountains.

"Lee! Another steal! Arenas is going to get a half-time clean sheet?! WTF! I mean WTF!" Barkley yelled in disbelief.

Once again, Li Zheng stabbed the basketball out when Arenas changed direction. Arenas staggered and fell to the ground while scrambling for the ball. After picking up the ball, Li Zheng threw a long pass forward without hesitation, without any intention of scoring. .

After receiving the ball, Fernandez rounded his arms and threw a windmill dunk. The Washington audience was surprised to see how high the thin-looking white man could jump.

"I'm going to participate in the slam dunk contest next year!" Fernandez excitedly landed on the rim, imitating Li Zheng, shaking the jersey in front of him and showing his number.

The Wizards chose a timeout. Arenas and Lee Zheng fought for two full quarters. They both scored 0 points, but the only difference was that Arenas made 9 of 0 shots, while Lee Zheng didn't make a single shot.

Arenas sat on the bench with his eyes blank, and the left and right seats were vacant. The other Wizards players didn't come up to touch his brow. No matter how loud the slogan was before the game, he was hit hard now. Just think about it and you will know how much pressure Arenas is under. Li Zheng's promise is becoming a cruel reality step by step, while Arenas' words are becoming ridiculous lies.

As depressing as the Wizards' atmosphere was, the Blazers players were as elated. Not only did they lead by a big score, but Lee Jung also completely blasted Arenas.

Many people have forgotten the consequences of provoking Li Zheng, and now they finally recall the cruelty of Li Zheng when he called the dunk. A player with accurate shots, some people really regard him as a softie
Li Zheng, who is defending with all his strength, is really scary. You don't need to experience it yourself. You can find Li Zheng's brutality just by watching it on the court or from the sidelines. No one knows what kind of thinking Li Zheng went through in those actions, positive logic, counter-logic, and pre-judgment Your actions, predict your prediction, predict your prediction. Arenas was seen through his underwear. This is not a game or a fight. This is Li Zheng's unilateral teaching to Arenas.

Or a lesson.
