Chapter 394 The Fourth Battle of the Finals (7)
Of course, in actual games, it is still very rare for a small man to slap a big man!
For small people, blocking shots is not only about the height of the jump, but more importantly about your timing and courage to move forward.
It's easy for a big man to block a small man. People generally don't have to jump very high.
But it's different when a small man blocks a big man. It takes a lot of courage.
It's the same with the basket, and it's the same with shooting.
No matter who shoots the ball, your shot will not be higher than the basket!
Even Yao Ming, who is 2.26 meters tall, has a standing height of only 2.98 meters.
The height of the basket is 3.05 meters!
What's more, no matter who shoots the ball, his arm is bent, and the height of the basketball shot will not exceed your standing height!
Even if it is a jump shot, no one takes off with all their strength when shooting!
And if the defender pounces with all his strength, his arms will be fully extended!
Therefore, as long as the defender is well prepared and has accurate predictions, it is not too difficult to block the opponent's shot.
Of course, this is easier said than done.
No matter which player makes a lot of fake moves when attacking, the referee also pays more attention to the attacking side.
Similarly, shooters will observe their opponents before shooting and rarely completely let down their guard.
But James completely ignored Azubuike this time.
It's not James' fault. When he threw a three-pointer before, Azubuike really didn't care at all.
At first, the two Azubuikes stretched out their hands in a gesture, but later he didn't even stretch out his hands!
Even if James made three consecutive three-pointers, Azubuike didn't care.
As soon as the second quarter started, James threw a three-pointer, but Azubuike still took two steps inside and ignored him.
Therefore, James took action very decisively and did not consider Azubuike's defense at all.
Collect the ball, raise your hands, and shoot!
When James jumped up and got the ball into the air, he found Azubuike coming over!
Azubuike is ready for everything!
I just pounce on you!
Do enough foreplay to confuse you, and then give you a fatal blow!
Just give you a big hat is enough!
Even if I'm still inside and can't come out, you don't dare to shoot boldly!
Just give you a little hesitation when shooting!
James didn't expect Azubuike to pounce at all. By the time he found Azubuike flying in front of him, it was already too late!
Azubuike raised his arm and slapped the basketball out of James' hand with a big hat!
The basketball rolled directly off the court.
James yelled: "He committed a foul! He hit my hand!"
The referee said nothing!
The Quicken Loans Center arena immediately erupted in boos, and voices scolding the referee kept coming.
However, a replay was quickly given on the big screen: Azubuike's block was clean and did not touch James' hand at all!
The Quicken Loans Center immediately fell silent.
Azubuike did not commit a foul!
This is a clean block!
James' three-pointer was blocked!
Our emperor was humiliated!
The referee was right!
But what is the name of our emperor?
Doesn't he know that Azubuike didn't touch him?
It shouldn’t be!
Judging from his indignant look, it looked like he had been wronged!
this……
Cavaliers fans were confused and the Quicken Loans Center fell silent.
However, James in the venue still looked angry!
James didn't watch the replay at all.
Because he knew very well that Azubuike did not touch him.
He yelled loudly just to ask the referee to take care of him.
If you call the referee twice and call Azubuike a foul, you will make a profit!
Not blowing?
Then you have nothing to lose!
Children who cry will get milk!
Winning is the most important thing!
These fans only like themselves because they are great and can lead the team to win!
If they can't win, they scold themselves harder than others!
So as long as you can lead the team to win, everything else doesn't matter!
If you win, naturally a lot of people will come to lick you!
If you lose, you are nothing!
What's the use of having a face?
So James didn't watch the replay at all, and still pressed there:
"He hit my hand!"
"I am the attacking party, and attacking is beneficial! Can't touch!"
"Azubuike's hand may not have touched me, but he hit me when he landed!"
…
James is still pressing, but the referee completely ignores it.
James was extremely depressed.
Do you still want to do it?
Whose home field is this?
Who is the first player in the league?
you……
James was very angry and the consequences were serious!
Although James was very angry, the referee remained unmoved.
James didn't have much to do about it.
No matter how dissatisfied the referee is with the penalty, he is still the boss in this game!
The game continues.
It's still the Cavaliers' ball rights.
The Warriors' defensive strategy remains unchanged, Azubuike still takes two steps inside, and others are ready to help defend at any time.
Anyway, one thing is certain, James cannot break in if he wants to.
The Warriors put up a small lineup, and everyone is very fast. Even if James passes the ball into the open space, he can quickly cover it up.
James tried twice, and finally the basketball fell into his hands.
There are only 2 seconds left in the attack time!
James had to take only one three-pointer.
Azubuike huddled inside and remained motionless!
Although Azubuike was still huddled inside, James' shooting was obviously still affected.
Who knows if Azubuike will pounce again?
It was not the same just now!
It seems that Azubuike will not save it, but who knows?
James was obviously hesitant in shooting!
This is exactly the result Deng Fang wanted.
During the timeout, Deng Fang specially arranged it with Azubuike.
Shrink the defense and let James shoot three-pointers.
This is the general direction and cannot be changed in most cases.
But occasionally I still have to pounce, and I pounce fiercely!
Just cover James once!
Attack and defense are psychological warfare, playing hide and seek with each other.
Hide and seek cannot be static, otherwise it will be too easy for your opponent to guess the direction of your action.
Deng Fang gave Azubuike special instructions for a long time, and the result was still very good.
As expected, James hesitated to shoot.
The biggest fear when shooting is hesitation.
As long as you hesitate, your shooting percentage will drop!
The basketball bounced off the rim.
Prince got the rebound and handed it to Curry, and the Warriors began to attack.
Curry dribbled to the frontcourt and signaled Radmanovic to come up for a pick-and-roll.
The one guarding Curry is Anthony Parker, and the one guarding Radmanovic is Jamison.
Although there is no problem playing against Anthony Parker alone, it is still easier to play against Jamison alone!
The playoffs are all about matchup advantage, which is very targeted.
As long as you have a weakness, your opponents will keep making fuss about this point of yours.
Both teams have small lineups, so whenever the Warriors pick-and-roll, the Cavaliers will switch defenses.
Curry successfully replaced Jamison in front of him.
Jamison followed Curry closely, not daring to relax for a moment.
