108. Let's face off with the champion!(1/2)
Both teams made personnel adjustments during the timeout.
The Trail Blazers sent a combination of Liu Xiu, Matt Carroll, Travis Outlaw, Randolph and Rasheed Wallace.
The Cavaliers replaced James, DaJuan Wagner, Jason Kapono, Boozer, and Big Z.
Once again, he was not substituted in the first round of rotation, and the little flying squirrel sat on the bench with a grimace.
Maurice Cheeks sat next to the little flying squirrel: "Damon, don't be frustrated, you were not replaced just because if you played against that high school student, the height difference was too big.
The Cavaliers are not a strong team. As the season progresses, we have learned about your strength after changing your style of play. Now when playing against weak teams, we need to give more time to newcomers."
Having said that, the little flying squirrel's expression looked much better.
Upon seeing this, Maurice Cheeks continued: "Damon, you are already 30 years old. You should think about the rest of your career. When you are sitting on the bench, you can't just wait anxiously to come on. You need to be like
Like Jess, observe the performance of your teammates and opponents in the game, pay attention to details, and think about what you can do before going on the court... There is nothing shameful in learning from young people, it only proves that you can keep up with the changes of the times.
Only by keeping your pace can you extend your career.”
The little flying squirrel was stunned for a moment, and finally nodded silently.
…
On the court, Liu Xiu received a system prompt when he walked onto the court.
There is no suspense, he chose Carlos Boozer! Keep playing back to the end!
"The Great Magician:
Game status.
Copy objects:
Teammate: Zach Randolph, good at technology conversion. Talent: low post singles, bonus effect: when the host uses the post singles technique, strength +3; when choosing to turn in the post singles, speed +3; when the host
When using a low post to gain shooting space, layup +3, close shot +3.
Opponent: Carlos Boozer, good at technology transformation. Talent: low post turnaround jump shot. Bonus effect: when the host uses a post-up single to connect with a turn over jump shot, the close range shooting ability is +2, and the turn over smoothness and rhythm are gained.
A small improvement.”
It’s not as high as Randolph’s back-up match, but it’s there anyway, and Liu Xiu won’t pick it!
Feeling James' excitement, Liu Xiu was also very excited to play against LeBron James!
Cavaliers attack.
Liu Xiu followed Wagner and stood on the left sideline. He saw that the expressions of the Cavaliers players had changed significantly compared to before the timeout!
Compared to Ricky Davis, Cavaliers players are more willing to cooperate with James!
The two play styles are basically similar. At present, Ricky Davis is slightly stronger in terms of strength, but he always acts like he is the boss and I am the second best.
And James is humble, polite and well-spoken.
The multiple choice questions are very simple.
Oh...no, Wagner's expression was very gloomy.
Travis Outlaw was guarding the top arc, and he couldn't be more excited.
High school students VS high school students!
James started accelerating more than a meter away from the top arc. Without any fancy skills, he rushed to the three-point line to confront Travis Outlaw, then crushed the opponent and went straight to the basket!
Being passed by James so easily, even Tianzun couldn't make up for it.
James went straight to the basket and scored two points with a one-handed dunk.
During the transition between offense and defense, Liu Xiu received the serve and advanced to the frontcourt, then lobbed the ball to Randolph.
Randolph beat Boozer in isolation, but he couldn't hit him!
Boozer is not good at anything else on the defensive end, but he is very good at handling the low post.
But Randolph's collision was just to lower Boozer's center of gravity. After two collisions, Randolph turned over and shot a jumper...hit!
Compared with Liu Xiu's back-up jump shot, which relies more on flexibility. Although Randolph learned from Liu Xiu, the difference was reflected very early.
When Liu Xiu retreated, he thought, 'Sure enough, the differences in details will become bigger and bigger after we reach the first-class level.'
But it can be seen that Randolph's back-up jump shot is not that good. It's just that Boozer is very good at defending against low post hits, but the overall defense is poor. Randolph has more changes, which is enough to deal with Boozer.
Offense and defense transition, the Cavaliers attack.
Travis Outlaw is guarding the top arc. His defense is not trying to block James' breakthrough alone, nor was it the last round, but trying to guide James' breakthrough route.
James once again started to accelerate more than one meter away from the three-point line. When Travis Outlaw approached him, he was knocked away by James who had already started to speed up. James entered the basket again!
This time Tianzun shrank early, James distributed the ball, and Big Z caught the ball and made a mid-range shot...hit!
When the Trail Blazers attacked, Randolph still played in the low post.
This time Boozer pounced on him. Randolph was not good enough and missed the turnaround jump shot, but when he took the shot, he felt the need. After landing, he flexibly turned around and entered the basket, shot himself, grabbed the ball, and made a tip-in!
Liu Xiu retreated immediately, not giving the Cavaliers a chance to counterattack. As he retreated, he shouted to his teammates: "Matt, guard James, be careful not to let him start fast!"
James received the serve and advanced, and saw that the person guarding him had changed.
Having successfully beaten him twice in a row, he became excited no matter who his opponent was.
When he arrived one meter away from the three-point line, James started to accelerate again!
Matt Carroll pressed forward early and confronted James. He grasped the timing well, but the speed was a bit slow. James had already gained a space. After the confrontation, he accelerated again and went straight to the basket!
Tianzun shrank toward the basket when Matt Carroll didn't block the space. Big Z caught the ball in the same position and made a mid-range shot!
The Cavaliers chased the score to 13-15, and the Trail Blazers called a timeout and entered the official timeout period.
In these rounds, James is about to take off.
Matt Carroll and Travis Outlaw, who were able to interfere with James in the summer league, are currently unable to affect James in one-on-one defense!
Compared to James at that time, after more than two months of training after the summer league, intensive training camp and preseason games, and more than a month of regular season training, he is no longer what he used to be.
Also learn the appropriate techniques, James is really great.
Tony Parker's little trick of accelerating breakthroughs in advance, James didn't know how to do it in the summer league, but now he has used it very skillfully. Against Travis Outlaw, James used this little trick to easily defeat him in the summer league.
Impossible defense.
However, what the Trail Blazers are worried about now is not how good James is, but their two rookies.
Matt Carroll has a high golf IQ and good basic skills, but his physical fitness stretches his hips.
Travis Outlaw has almost perfect physical fitness, but his golf IQ is mediocre.
What really worries Maurice Cheeks is the high school outlaw, and he is satisfied with Matt Carroll's performance.
Fortunately, outlaws are not good in mind but bad in body.
As long as your physical condition is good and your brain is not stupid, you will be saved.
Maurice Cheeks shook his head. This guy needs long-term training. He has talent on the defensive end, but he needs to slowly gain experience... So the question is, who will defend James?
Kobe's terminator defended well, but he was only replaced for two minutes.
Maurice Cheeks knew that the No. 1 pick on the opposite side was not that difficult to guard, with a 40.6% shooting rate.
It's just that the No. 1 pick's defensive strategy doesn't work well. He's much stronger than Francis and Wade. If he's given so much room to accelerate, he'll be ridden in the face by a flying dragon... Eh? Maurice Cheeks suddenly remembered,
The No. 1 pick is a point guard!
On the other side, Liu Xiu, who was drinking an energy drink, suddenly felt a chill on his back... He felt an evil gaze staring at him.
At this time, the system prompt came!
Liu Xiu glanced at the system prompts and immediately turned to the coach and shouted: "Coach! Don't you want me to guard that 203cm guy?"
"Guessed it right."
Liu Xiu transformed into a singing god: "I'll eat your shit!"
In Chinese, Maurice Cheeks didn’t understand: “What?”
"I said you look so handsome with a big beard!"
…
"The NBA Draft is the only experience of an NBA player's career, an unchangeable destiny. All players want to be the No. 1 pick, but there is only one No. 1 pick... I am the Warden series of tasks: Confronting the No. 1 pick
Go ahead! Trigger."
“Let’s meet the No. 1 pick head-on!: I am the Warden series of missions.
Goal: If the host is facing off against LeBron James, the host needs to prevent LeBron James from breaking through (the breakthrough is not converted into a score or assist). Whenever LeBron James gets a score or assist through a breakthrough, the host needs to respond.
, if the response is not completed twice in a row, the task fails.
Reward: For every successful attempt to limit LeBron James' breakthrough, 100 healing points will be awarded, and for every successful response to James, 200 healing points will be awarded."
Liu Xiu took a look at the reward method for this task, it was strange...
The referee blows the whistle and the game continues.
To be continued...
