Chapter 1004 The Confrontation of Leaders

Quicken Loans Arena.

The second quarter has started.

The two sides switched to a rotation lineup. The Cavaliers' new aids Crowder, Clarkson, and Nance were all on the court, but because of the lack of tacit understanding and cooperation, they played a single offensive game. There was not much effective tactical coordination. After a simple pass, it's all about going it alone.

This effect is not good, and Tyronn Lue frowned.

On the Heat's side are Xiang Long, Salinger, Brende, Johnson, and Lu Wei. Among them, Lu Wei and Xiang Long played very well.

In this bench lineup, Lu Wei is a strong scoring point on the outside. He has considerable autonomy in the bench lineup, while Xiang Long is the main firepower. He has excellent physical fitness, low-post skills, and can even shoot. Three-pointers can greatly open up space for the team.

There is a saying in the NBA called "space-type 4th position". For example, Love of the Cavaliers is the whole type, and Xiang Long is also this type. They all have one characteristic, that is, they can shoot three-pointers.

Of course, Xiang Long also has shortcomings and shortcomings. The first is lack of experience, and the second is physical confrontation. Compared with those who are good at physical strength, such as TT, his physical confrontation is still inferior, and can only be compensated by technology.

However, Xiang Long has one of the biggest advantages, that is, his psychological quality is excellent, he is good at grasping opportunities, and he can often make achievements when he goes on the court.

This is what coach Spoelstra admires most about him.

On the court, Xiang Long took the ball in a low position, tried a post-up single, took two steps back, followed by a turnaround jump shot, with a little back, the basketball hit the net.

"Strike." Meng Yun stood up and applauded.

Xiang Long has already scored 6 points after going up, counting the 4 points in the first quarter, his personal score has already reached double figures.

The Cavaliers immediately called a timeout, because the Heat had already led by 9 points at this time. Originally, the Heat only led by 4 points in the first quarter, but at this time it was already approaching ten points.

"Substitution."

Tyronn Lue made a substitution and replaced James.

Here, coach Spoelstra also made substitutions, replacing Meng Yun, Lu Wei, and Green, replacing Brende.

When James came back, the Cavaliers' offense obviously changed and became more organized.

James is no longer just organizing the offense, he has strengthened his personal offense. After all, the lineup on the field lacks scoring points, and after the trial in the first quarter, it is time for him to make a move.

"Pull away."

James made a gesture, and the others pulled away. He singled Green and pinched the ball around his waist. He took a tentative step, then suddenly picked up speed, and broke through from the left. Green retreated quickly, and Xiang Long was also ready to move forward.However, at this moment, James suddenly hooked the ball with his left hand and made a 360-degree turn, just bypassing Green, and Xiang Long was blocked by Green.

This is equivalent to avoiding the defense of two people. James has a big stride, and he has already reached the basket, so he made a layup.

Swish!
The ball goes in.

The audience immediately remembered the cheers of the Cavaliers fans.

Green was a little helpless, and Meng Yun couldn't help shaking his head secretly. The key is not the turning around, but James' body is too strong, and even if he is over [-] years old, his bounce and explosive power are still very good. In the process of turning around, he actually Already pushing you away with his body, and then making a layup, Green had no time to jump up, let alone block James' layup.

James did not use this kind of attack once or twice, but countless times. He has a lot of experience. He knows when to start, when to turn around, and how to make a layup, which is enough to ensure that he will not be blocked and can hit the ball. Enter.

This is also a manifestation of experience.

Less than a minute later, James played singles again. This time, he singled Green with his back after a low position. Green couldn't stand him at all, and was pushed back steadily. He was fooled, jumped up by James, lost his defensive position, and finally let James score, and it was matched with a foul, giving James a 1+2.

"Pull it away for me later." Meng Yun gestured to his teammates.

James has shot, and it's time for him to.

As the core and leader of the team, sometimes you have to stand up and attack the opponent's core players. The two armies face off, and the generals compete.

"Meng Yun is about to make a move." Rostern frowned.

"Hmm." Craig hummed without looking back, and just stared straight at Meng Yun.

Coach Spoelstra also stared at Meng Yun.

Why is James so good, why can one person support a team and dominate a game, because he can always stand up and score when he needs to stand up.

An invincible general takes the lead, and his subordinates must be greatly encouraged. With the morale like a rainbow, the fighting power can be multiplied.

This is the ability to lead a team.

Of course, to achieve this requires extremely strong personal strength, in addition to a sufficiently high basketball IQ, knowing when to make a shot and in what way.

Some people have made a statistic, listed ten superstars, and evaluated their season average shooting percentage, almost none of them exceeded 50.00%, probably between 45% and 50%, which is similar to other players.

40%-50% is also a common shooting rate for nba players.

However, if we count the critical moments of these superstars alone, including when chasing points, suppressing the opponent's counterattack, and the final decisive stage, etc., we can finally draw a conclusion. At these critical moments, their shooting percentage and scoring efficiency are actually higher than the season average The rate is much higher, generally over 50%, and some even reach 70%.

This reflects the difference between superstars and ordinary players. Why they are superstars is because of this.

There is no doubt that James has done a very good job at this point.

And Meng Yun also did very well.

"laugh."

Meng Yun suddenly started, changed direction, his left shoulder sank, and his body leaned to the left. Clarkson was defending him, and Clarkson subconsciously moved to the right.

But at this moment, Meng Yun suddenly changed direction again, the ball changed from his left hand to his right hand, and his center of gravity was adjusted to break through from the right side.Clarkson wanted to move to the left, but in a flash, Meng Yun had already rushed past him.

For a moment, Clarkson was terrified, subconsciously wanted to back up, but was about to move to the left just now, and hadn't finished yet, and now subconsciously wanted to back up, his legs were fighting, and his body couldn't stand still anymore , staggered and fell to the ground.
