Chapter 127

The Nuggets attack and Miller advances with the ball.

The official height of both him and Ye Feng is 188 cm, but it seems that Ye Feng is still slightly taller than him.

It seems that this is also a defender who falsely reported his height.

But Ye Feng is not surprised. In the NBA, guards like to report their heights high, while forwards like to report their heights low.As for the center forward, even if they falsely report their height, they can't change anything, so the height of the center forward position is generally more realistic.

Therefore, Ye Feng has an advantage.The height is dominant, the wingspan of 200 cm is also dominant, and the speed is faster than the floor-flowing Miller.

Miller advanced to the frontcourt and found that Ye Feng was indented inside the three-point line.

How the Nuggets defended James, how Ye Feng defended Miller.The reason is simple, Miller's three-pointers are not even as good as James.

As a traditional No. 1 position, Miller is good at organizing, but his shooting ability is not strong. His career three-point shooting percentage is just over 20%, and he averages less than one three-pointer per game.

(There is no such thing as a traditional point guard in basketball terminology, but fans have this concept. It is used to refer to a point guard whose organization is stronger than offense, and whose three-point shooting ability is average or even poor. Stockton, Bibby, and Miller are all such One type. Because at the beginning of the development of basketball, the skill of long-range shooting was exclusive to shooting guards.)
"It's kind of interesting. Both sides have the same defensive strategy, preventing breakthroughs and not preventing shots."

"Yeah, but James made the shot decisively and scored. I just don't know if Miller will make the shot or make the shot."

The on-site commentator said with great interest.

Miller was not in a hurry to organize an attack, but adjusted his rhythm, shook his head with a wry smile.

"This is also grabbing my weakness. Unfortunately, I am not the main attack point tonight."

With a feint, Miller passed the ball to Anthony.

Anthony singles Ricky Davis.

One step inside the three-point line, Anthony made a three-threat posture, constantly poking his feet to disrupt Davis' defensive rhythm.

It has to be said that Anthony's three threats at this time are already very strong, capable of rushing, shooting, and passing, and every ability is higher than the league average.

James and Darius on the flanks did not dare to defend directly. After all, Nene and Laettner both have good offensive capabilities.

As a result, the Nuggets' offense became a serious one-on-one.

After several probing steps, Anthony suddenly pulled up and threw the basketball when Davis was caught off guard.

Swish!
Anthony's large mid-range shot also made it.

The score on the field became 3:2.

The Cavaliers' offense is still James holding the ball.

Laettner is still shrinking. It seems that James' three-pointer failed to change his defensive strategy. After all, one ball can't explain anything. Maybe James stepped on shit luck, and the next one has a high probability of not scoring.

However, James didn't hesitate to take a jumper.

Swish!
Hit again, another hollow three-pointer.

6: 2.

The Cleveland fans were jubilant, laughing and shouting one by one, and couldn't help discussing the two three-pointers.

After all, James shot two hollow three-pointers in a row, which is very rare.In previous games, he averaged less than half a three-pointer per game.

Ye Feng clearly noticed that Leitner's expression changed.

The Nuggets attacked, and Anthony took the ball one step inside the three-point line, posing a three-threat.

After a few probing steps, a jumper, huh!
6: 4.

Ye Feng suddenly remembered an interesting joke.

When Iverson broke through with the ball, everyone knew that he would only break through from the right; and when Anthony put on a three-threat, everyone knew that he could only shoot jumpers.

Of course, this is the experience that fans have summed up in the middle and late stages of Anthony's career, and it is impossible for people to understand it now.

Ye Feng was hesitating whether to remind Davis.

At this time, the Cavaliers' third offensive round.

Ye Feng naturally handed the ball to James who was feeling hot.

One step beyond the three-point line, James holds the ball.

This time, Leitner finally defended himself.As it turned out, he was scared.If James continues to throw the third three-pointer, then his performance tonight will be scolded by the fans.

The moment he came out of defense, the face of the head coach of the Nuggets changed, and James also showed a successful smile on his face.

With a feint shot, James instantly started, rolling over Laettner, who was defending in close quarters, and squeezed past him abruptly.

Then he went to the basket and dunked with both hands in front of Nene and Elson.

8: 4.

Facts have proved that although Nene's talent is very good, his defensive ability is much worse than Camby's.

Without Camby, James is like a duck to water and unscrupulous after reaching the inside.

Nene's physical fitness is indeed exploding, and he is positive enough, passionate, and can even be said to be passionate.But his advantage is more reflected in the offensive end.

If it is the defensive end, just compare his 6.5 rebounds and 0.5 blocks with Camby's 10.1 rebounds and 2.6 blocks. Everyone can see the gap between the two with the naked eye, and the ability to protect the basket is too poor.

This does not include the ability to make up defense and help defense. When Camby is absent, half of the Nuggets' defensive system collapses.

beep~
At this moment, the referee blew his whistle and the Nuggets called a timeout.

"James exploded in the opening game and stopped the Nuggets by himself. His performance tonight is worthy of the title of little emperor. He is too strong!"

Su Qun explained excitedly on cctv5.

But the actual situation is a bit different from Su Qun's explanation.

Rather than saying that James stopped the Nuggets, it is better to say that Laettner failed the tactical arrangement of Nuggets coach Jeff Bzdelik.

As a disciple of Pat Riley, the "magic fortune teller", Bzdelik also has a strong ability to calculate.

Before the game, he knew what the team's biggest problem was. Of course, it was the impact of Camby's absence on the team's defensive system, which made the Nuggets' interior empty.

The Cavaliers happen to be a team with very good breakthrough ability. James, Davis, and Ye Feng all have strong breakthrough ability.

Especially James, has a strong breakthrough ability, and his ability to finish at the basket is even more overwhelming.

If James is allowed to enter the hinterland of the Nuggets, it will be difficult to stop it only by relying on Nene and Elson.

Therefore, Bzdelik's arrangement at the beginning was to let Laettner prevent penetration and shoot, not only to target James' shortcoming of not being good at three-pointers, but more importantly, to cover up the Nuggets' lack of defense inside.

However, Laettner was frightened by James' two three-pointers, and even forgot his deployment, and put James inside, exposing the shortcomings of the Nuggets.

"Woshan (Leitner), I say it again, prevent the penetration and do not prevent the shot! Remember my tactics, no more violations are allowed!"

Bzdelik said angrily.

"But."

Laettner still hesitated, after all, James' two three-pointers in the opening game were a bit scary.

"No but! I have the final say on my team. If you have a problem, I can let you rest for a while."

Bzdelik has Pat Riley's iron-handsome demeanor, and his majesty cannot be questioned.

"Yes, coach, I will do as you say!"

Leitner is an ordinary player, so he dares to fight against the head coach, he can only agree.

Bzdelik's face improved a little, his voice became gentler, and he said slowly: "Remember, James just feels better in the opening game, but his shooting percentage is there, it can't be good all the time. The opening three Once the broad ax passes, it may fall."

"If his three-point shooting percentage has been so high, then I will bear the responsibility for the loss. You just need to do what I say, and you won't blame you if you lose!"

Combining rigidity and softness, Bzdelik's acting style is still very clever.

Leitner, who was still a little reluctant a moment ago, was convinced and submissive.
