Legendary star

Chapter 720

"In today's game, whether it is the Cavaliers or the Pacers, it is actually very simple to defeat the opponent. The Cavaliers want to win. In addition to LeBron's stable performance, their two outsiders Larry Hughes and Alexander - Pavlovich must get rid of the blockade of the Pacers' perimeter and provide sufficient fire support for James, and the Pacers are just as simple, that is to completely block the two perimeters of the Cavaliers and let James fall into a solo battle .”

After Jermaine O'Neal and Zajunas Ilgauskas finished the jump ball, today's game officially started, and Magic Johnson also began to discuss the status of the Cavaliers and Pacers with Michaels, And the premise of wanting to win. Although Magic Johnson is not optimistic about the Cavaliers, as a commentator, they still make suggestions for the Cavaliers based on their professionalism. Of course, no matter how much he talks, it is actually nonsense , because even if he blows the hype, the Cavaliers coach Mike Brown on the sidelines will not follow his ideas to teach the Pacers.

"Haha, Ervin, although the Cavaliers have always focused on the outside attack, and their outside offensive ability is also very strong, but if you expect Larry and Alexander to get rid of the blockade of the Pacers, it is better to expect LeBron to be on Meng's head today." Score 50 points." Michaels obviously didn't believe that the Cavaliers could achieve what Magic Johnson said was the condition for the Cavaliers to win. Tony Allen and Tayshaun Prince are both top perimeter defenders Players, together with Meng Xu and Jermaine O'Neal covering the entire range of defense below the three-point line, Larry Hughes and Aleksandar Pavlovich want to maintain the same stable performance in the previous two rounds, obviously It's hard, so in Michaels' view, instead of counting on Larry Hughes and Alexander Pavlovich, it's better to count on James to explode in this game.

"El, you must know that basketball is round, and anything is possible before the game is over." In order to refute Michaels, Magic Johnson said a nonsense that he did not believe, and after Magic Johnson finished speaking, Immediately caused Michaels to laugh.

Just as Michaels and Magic Johnson were chatting and laughing, the Pacers who won the jump ball had been dribbled by Tony Allen through half court.

I don't know if it was at the behest of Mike Brown or James himself. After Meng Xu received a pass from Tony Allen, the Cavaliers did not double-team Meng Xu, but let James defend Meng Xu alone. up.

Since James decided to participate in the draft in advance, James will stay with Meng Xu to train almost every summer after that, so James is very familiar with Meng Xu. Perhaps this is the main reason why James decided to defend Meng Xu alone.

Although James is very familiar with Meng Xu's technical characteristics and even every subtle movement habit, in this defense, James is still very focused, because in the countless singles in the past, even though James knew that What kind of actions Meng Xu may make next, but James' body will still respond instinctively in many cases. In professional terms, this is the performance of the body not keeping up with the brain.

When Meng Xu, who was leaning sideways on him, started to move, James clung to Meng Xu's body while staring at Meng Xu's shoulders and head intently, trying to pass the swing of Meng Xu's shoulders and the direction in which his head tilted. To judge Meng Xu's next moves, when defending Meng Xu, if you are a little distracted, you will be confused by Meng Xu's fake moves. In Tim Duncan's words when joking, when Meng Xu's fake moves twist up After that, he probably didn't know which way he would turn next.

I have to say that James, who has been concentrating, is still very good in defense. Meng Xu failed to fool James with two fake turns in a row. On the contrary, after Meng Xu really completed the turn, James had already blocked Meng Xu's breakthrough route in advance, but After Meng Xu completed his turn, there was enough distance between him and James to activate himself.

After completing the turn, Meng Xu's next half-truth and half-fake sideways acceleration put James in a dilemma. If he stood still and remained unmoved, Meng Xu would definitely continue to accelerate, like passing a wooden stake. Get rid of yourself directly. If you move, then Meng Xu must take back his steps and then break through in the opposite direction. James has no way of starting Meng Xu's breakthrough.

Although he already knew what the end of his movement would be, James still bit the bullet and went to block Meng Xu's breakthrough route. Sure enough, as soon as James left the spot, Meng Xu took advantage of the trend and accelerated his breakthrough in the opposite direction.

The Cavaliers obviously had a plan for this. After Meng Xu got rid of James, the Cavaliers switched defenses. On the premise of not letting go of any Pacers players, Drew Gooden occupied Meng Xu in advance. The route to the basket, as for another insider of the Cavaliers, Zajunas-Ilgauskas, is also ready to move behind Drew Gooden.

When Drew Gooden stopped Meng Xu on the only way to the basket one step ahead, Meng Xu did not change the direction of the breakthrough, but continued to accelerate forward, and was about to collide with Drew Gooden. When they got together, Meng Xu stopped his steps and jumped up immediately.

"It's so high." At the moment when Meng Xu took off, Drew Gooden also jumped up to block Meng Xu's jump shot, but Drew Gooden was surprised to find that he was shorter than himself. Meng Xu, who is nearly 10 centimeters taller, is at least 20 centimeters higher than himself in terms of take-off height. In addition to Meng Xu's super long wingspan, Drew Gooden doesn't know how to block Meng Xu. Xu's shot was made.

Although Drew Gooden's block action has been completely done, but Drew Gooden's palm can't touch the basketball thrown by Meng Xu at all, not only the height difference between the two sides in the air, but also a little When Meng Xu shot in the air, Drew Gooden had already started to land.

Looking at Meng Xu who raised his hands and waved to the audience amidst the cheers of the audience, James standing behind Meng Xu clenched his fists and his eyes were full of fighting spirit. In this round, he lost , but James was not discouraged.

Get up wherever you fall!
