Chapter 946
Well, the Cavaliers' offense is really bad. They have the scoring champion, but the average score is still negative...Big Z, Gooden, and even Larry Hughes have all become pitchers.
"Larry Hughes, 29 years old, 196 cm, 87 kg, SG/SF, ability evaluation 80, offense 75, defense 86...averaged 12.3 points, 3.4 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.5 steals per game...shooting rate 37.7%, three
The shooting percentage was 35.1%, and the average number of three-pointers per game was 1.4..."
Being able to let Larry Hughes practice three-pointers, Liu Xiu felt that James was really good.
However, Larry Hughes's 29% long two-pointers still need to be practiced again.
At 7:58, the referee informed the two teams to start the game
"The Archmage: State of the Game."
Copy objects:
Teammate: Kyler Korver, matching degree 35%, random talent: Turnaround Killer (remaining health), bonus effect: when turning around to shoot a three-pointer, the three-point evaluation +1, 10% probability of feeling hot.
Opponent: LeBron James, matching degree 45%, random talent: Invincible (remaining health), bonus effect: when rushing inside and hitting the basket, strength +1, layup +1, bounce +1, slightly improve the referee's whistle
Penalty likeability.”
"Buff: The prisoner kill triggers, the host's insight on both offense and defense is greatly improved, and the feel is guaranteed to be good."
Liu Xiu looked at his four starting teammates, Korver, Hill, Millsap, and LaFrentz.
There’s so much pressure tonight!
Ray Allen, Randolph, and Kwame Brown don't play.
The ‘sharp shooter’ is gone, and the ‘quick shooter’ is gone.
The opponent is still a strong defensive team in the playoffs...
Fortunately, the opponent is James, and the warden's confidence has improved a lot.
The starting lineup sent by the opponent: James, Larry Hughes, Ira Newbell, Gooden, Big Z.
Liu Xiu put on magnesium powder and came to the court, and the system prompt came!
"KING James, whose defensive strength has improved, is already qualified to arm-wrestle with the host. KING James will be one of the main competitors of the host in the next ten years or so. His ambition is to become the best... Lord of the Era Series Mission: Attack
The little emperor triggers."
“Attack of the Little Emperor:
Goal 1: Score more points than LeBron James.
Goal 2: Defeat the Cavaliers.
Reward: 5000 healing value, start subsequent tasks."
Scored more points than the leading scorer, defeated a strong defensive team when even three of his strongest teammates couldn't beat him... Liu Xiu whistled and entered the court.
What are you thinking about so much? As for the competition, we’ll talk about it later!
…
At 8 o'clock in the evening, the game started. Big Z defeated LaFrentz with a jump ball, and the fans at the scene started to curse.
Big Z, the guy who has lost 20 times out of 28 jump balls so far this season, his Trail Blazers actually lost the jump ball!
The Cavaliers attacked first, James advanced to the frontcourt, and faced Liu Xiu and began to break through in singles.
The breakthrough skills shown by James are still not improved compared to last season. Liu Xiu blocked his one-on-one breakthrough and was forced to break in from the left.
However, James gained weight and improved his use of his body. When he reached close range, he grabbed the ball, stepped forward, and hit a layup with a trot!
Without Kwame Brown, James is at home under the basket!
To defend against James, it is not enough to be able to withstand the outside. The inside defense must also be good enough.
Otherwise, there needs to be someone like Shou Shou, Yao Ming, or Milicic who can control the situation by himself under the basket.
Or get a meat shield and pair it with a help defense expert like Kirilenko or Garnett.
Or twin towers like Tian Zun and O'Neal Jr. can also be used.
Kwame Brown's rim protection is not as good as that of Beast, Yao Ming, Milicic and others, and there is a clear gap between his assist defense and Kirilenko and Garnett. He is more like Duncan.
It's hard to say which part of Duncan's defense can reach a super-top level, but he has almost reached the top level in terms of defense inside.
This makes Duncan unable to perform particularly outstanding defensive performance, and he is particularly disadvantaged when competing for the best defensive player, but his overall defensive effect is no worse than any best defensive player.
Kwame Brown is not yet at the level of Duncan, and he is often booed on every defense, but he is growing from a low-post defensive leader to a comprehensive defensive leader.
Liu Xiu quickly analyzed the problem of guarding James, received the serve and advanced - another day of missing the parallel import champion.
In the transition between offense and defense, Liu Xiu attacks with the ball from the top of the arc, and it is James who defends him!
It is still difficult to have a concrete concept of quantitative numbers.
Looking at James' defensive position and footwork, Liu Xiu really felt the progress of James' defense.
Then……
Liu Xiu changed direction in a rhythmic flow, easily shaking James to the other side and rushing into the inside!
Big Z quickly took a step up, Liu Xiu took a European step, went around to the right side of Big Z, and flew for a layup. Big Z blocked the shot to no avail, and even touched Liu Xiu's arm.
"beep"
Following the referee's whistle, Liu Xiu hit a layup. The referee confirmed that the goal was valid, and Liu Xiu also received an extra penalty!
The referee gave free throws tonight more decisively than in the past.
After being passed, James turned around to chase, but gave up when he reached the free throw line. He stood with his hands on his hips and watched Liu Xiu make a layup to score 2+1.
It hurts his self-esteem a bit... He thinks that his defense has improved a lot and can at least cause some trouble for Liu Xiu.
As a result, people treated him like...
Liu Xiu walked to the free throw line, raised his head and said to James: "KING, your defense is still as empty as the road in the early morning."
James was so angry after what was in his heart was spoken! He ignored Liu Xiu and walked to the side of the three-second zone to grab the board.
"Healing value +66, from LeBron James."
Liu Xiu's eyes lit up. Several years had passed, and the healing value provided by James was finally increasing.
Liu Xiu also scored an extra penalty, 3-2, and the Trail Blazers took a 1-point lead.
When the Cavaliers attacked, James continued to break through. With his unique footsteps, without the parallel number one pick, the Trail Blazers chose to attack from a flank.
James passed the ball, and it was Larry Hughes who was freed up. He took a two-point shot from the wing... and missed!
LaFrentz blocked James and Liu Xiu grabbed the defensive rebound. Big Z and Gooden retreated directly when Larry Hughes shot. James burst in and they both had to pull out and had no chance to rush.
, then ensure defense.
A top-five defense in the league doesn't come for free, and Mike Brown pays great attention to these details.
Without a chance for a fast break, Liu Xiu still pushed forward at a fast pace to let Big Z run faster.
After advancing to the frontcourt, Liu Xiu was surprised to see that it was James guarding the top arc!
Obviously, Larry Hughes is better defensively. Although he has been injured continuously and his mentality has slackened and he no longer aims to become the 'next Jordan', he is still a first-class defensive master. Even James is not good enough.
In Liu Xiu's understanding, James is not the kind of guy who insists on guarding despite being unable to defend him. If there are teammates who can defend better, this guy will be happy to let his teammates guard him.
There is only one truth - this is the arrangement of Cavaliers head coach Mike Brown!
Liu Xiu was furious.
