Chapter 1268 Remember to let your opponent get less than 50 points! The 4D explosion is complete~
During the halftime break, the Cavaliers did their in-game mobilization. James tried to use his "king spirit" to wake up the whole team. This effect is either impossible or depends on who the opponent is. Tonight we will play against the Lakers.
, Larry Brown seemed to be particularly energetic. He said: Everyone should work hard tonight, don't let go, and try to prevent the people in Cleveland from scoring 50 points.
What? No more than 50 points? Is this possible? NBA games started from 1984 to the 2015-16 season. This situation was very rare. There were only 28 games with less than 60 points. And less than 50 points.
There was only one game. That was the Bulls in the shortened season of 1999. They lost the great Jordan and the whole team fell apart. They were beaten by the Heat by 49-82 points. And in that game, the entire Bulls team was beaten by the Iron God.
The adults possessed him and played a regular season game that Chicago fans will never forget.
So what Larry Brown means by this is... to take the Cavaliers flag as a sacrifice?
Isn't this a little too crazy? However, if you don't give it a try and don't push yourself, how do you know whether you can do it or not? Don't think that Larry Brown just did it on a whim. He did this after a lot of calculations.
Decided to give it a try tonight. The core of the Cavaliers is James. If he holds on to this, their system will collapse. The regular season is not the playoffs, and there is no time to adjust. Furthermore, he is betting on the Lakers' No. 29.
It can perfectly block the opponent. Finally, this is also an important shot for the Lakers to truly become a super defensive team. People will only remember the best one. So, if you want to do it, just be the first in history.
.
In that case, the Lakers this season will truly form an image of an iron wall in everyone's mind.
In this case, it is very important to shape the team culture of a truly strong championship team. Having said that, Larry Brown himself feels that this coaching is his last chance. At the same time, over the years, he has
The cards in his hand are the best and most suitable. As a super defensive master, he also wants to leave a mark in history.
In the 2004 playoffs, the Pistons created the lowest opponent scoring average in these years, only 80.7 points, almost falling below the 80-point mark. He has won this first place. So, is this enough?
? Larry Brown used to think that was enough, but now that he has come to the Lakers, he suddenly feels that this is not enough. He can also have the opportunity to lead the team to do better.
Therefore, this lowest score in history is also a challenge he set. Once successful, not to mention the outside world, it will be an indescribable spiritual foundation for the Lakers themselves. It will bring the team's defensive culture to a higher level.
The key is that the opponent must be relatively well-known, otherwise the effect of a bad anti-explosion team will be greatly reduced. After much thought, the Cavaliers are the most suitable to make this first attack. Because from the perspective of restraint, relatively
most.
"As long as you do it, we won't have to train on non-game days until the end of the All-Star Game. How about it? Come and give it a try?" Larry Brown looked at all the Lakers players with a slightly provocative look. "
Okay, there's nothing I dare not try. Let the opponent not score more than 50 points, right? It's a bit interesting and a bit of a challenge." Tang Qian stood up first and said, "Just saying this made me excited. I'm quite excited.
I want to challenge myself and see.”
"What about you?" Larry Brown asked the others.
"Of course! What's the point? We all accept it! Sir, please don't keep your word when the time comes."
"I will keep my promise. Don't worry." What Larry Brown said was, firstly, to get another shot to make the whole team more focused. Secondly, the All-Star Weekend was coming up in just a few days anyway.
There is no way to train during the All-Star Weekend, and everyone is focusing on coping with the only "free time" in this season. Many things need to be completed during this time, including advertising contracts, etc., and only during this period can we have enough time.
Go and finish. The Lakers have finished this game, and there will be no game until February 19th. It doesn’t matter if they take a few more days off. Because starting from the 19th, there will be no time to breathe and relax, or after the season.
Either you will be eliminated from the competition, or you will go all the way to the finals and become the final contender.
Larry Brown's "business" was calculated shrewdly.
While the Cavaliers players were still accepting the resurgence of James' "kingly spirit", the Lakers had already ignited even more terrifying ambitions and challenges. When the half-time break was over and the two sides returned to the field, the Cavaliers
The team still has the starting five, James + Love + Irving + J.R. Smith + Tristan Thompson, but there has been a slight change on the opposite side. They have changed from Tang Qian + Randle + Ariza + Butler + Rondo.
Tang Qian + Covington + Ariza + Butler + Rondo. It is equivalent to quietly replacing their strongest defensive lineup this season. The mobility and individual defense have reached the level that this team can match.
on the peak.
The head coach of the Cavaliers, David Blatt, was still a little worried, but James said very domineeringly that he could definitely lead the team to break through the opponent's defense, as long as he believed in them. This was tantamount to subtly saying, okay, you
Just say less and just watch how I lead the team to break the game. Anyway, that's about your level.
David Blatt felt really depressed. When he came here, he thought he was very lucky to be able to coach a historical superstar like LeBron James as soon as he entered the NBA. However, now, he has
I don’t think so anymore. He is just a puppet coach in the Cavaliers. He is even a decoration many times and has no self-worth to realize. Last year’s championship had nothing to do with him. It was all about the team.
On the 23rd, I took care of it all.
Alas, forget it, let's wait and see when the management becomes dissatisfied with us. Packing up and going back to Europe is not necessarily a bad thing.
After all, I am also the European champion coach. There are a lot of people in the European arena who want to coach me. It doesn’t matter if I can’t survive in the NBA. There are more places to go. What did US President Kennedy say?
?By the way, there are many parents who praise me, but there are no fathers or mothers who criticize me. I have been to the NBA and experienced it, so that’s fine.
Although the NBA is good, it is not the only place. In fact, after a long time, David Blatt himself couldn't stand this kind of coaching. He couldn't stand it anymore. The team's No. 23 is strong, but sometimes it is too "
He's a bit dictatorial, but the management is a bit tougher than him, so what else can I do? Just mess around.
Thinking of this, David Blatt, the European champion coach, slowly let go of his mind and began to truly act as the "puppet coach" of this team. At the beginning of the second half, James really wanted to speed up, but he couldn't.
No, after replacing Covington, the Lakers' overall defense has become more complete, and the mobility of the lineup has also improved a lot compared to the first half. If James wants to switch, the Lakers will focus on the other Cavaliers players and let you move.
The ball cannot move. You are forced to hit it yourself.
James was still calm at first, trying to activate the whole team. After breaking through, he distributed the ball to Love's flank to attack. If this was a normal team, James would have already joined, which would definitely lead to a wide range of defense and coverage.
At least, he would shrink a little to protect the basket in the penalty area. But as for the Lakers, James didn't feel this feeling at all. The Lakers were always staring at him alone during his breakthrough.
.The rest of the people, as if they hadn't seen him, were still performing their duties, and there was no change in defensive formation as imagined.
Love can only hold the ball one-on-one.
Facing Covington, he only had an advantage in terms of tonnage, and the rest was not easy to use.
Although Love is slightly taller than Covington, in terms of wingspan, he is not as good as the latter at all. He only has a wingspan of 211cm, while Covington's wingspan is about 218cm. Therefore, he is blocked when he breaks through the basket.
It was so bad. The moment I took the shot, I knew that the ball would not go in. It missed too much. The Cavaliers shouted to grab an offensive rebound, but it was a low rebound, so...Thompson's side, a penny.
No chance.
The Lakers protected the rebounds and gave the offense to the inside. The Cavaliers' defensive awareness was really poor. No one came to help defend. In this case, Tang Qian was not polite. With a muscle bump, Thompson lost the defense.
, and then there was a scene with the cave door wide open in front of him. Tang Qian jumped up and dunked with both hands, and Thompson could only salute with attention.
Boom~ The score difference continues to widen.
In fact, in the locker room, David Blatt was planning to start without Thompson in the second half, but James insisted on letting Thompson play, so the suggestion of playing Varejao was rejected. Because James felt that playing Varejao was useless, no.
It may be possible to defend the opponent alone, and Varejao's pick-and-roll and ability to open up inside space are not as good as Thompson's. In this case, it is better not to change.
At least I can play more comfortably on the offensive end.
The Cavaliers still controlled the whole game with James. James asked the team to cut inside more, trying to find opportunities to score points steadily, but the Lakers were too tight on defense and couldn't get rid of it even without the ball. They say the defense runs without the ball.
, it is not a matter of one person. For the current Lakers, it is no longer difficult to deal with. With this lineup, the Warriors' five death players can defend well, not to mention the Cavaliers, who are somewhat lame.
An open cut? Seeing that there is no chance, James can only take action on his own initiative. Otherwise, the Cavaliers' attack will be wasted again.
James beat Butler hard. Butler defended very well, but he still couldn't stop the guy in front of him. This is the personal ability of a historical super giant. Unless he is completely aged, otherwise, one-on-one, it will still be difficult.
The existence of single defense. Besides, breakthrough is the foundation of James' league. Most of his scoring starts from this method. Seeing the opponent using "tank breakthrough" to forcefully break the defense, Butler reluctantly tried it and knew it.
I still couldn't guard this man alone, so I quickly retreated to the next best thing and used delays to try to slow down James' breakthrough speed. This had only one purpose, and that was...
Tianchao Sports Channel.
"Butler's defense is already very good, so why can't he guard it? James is really good... James took off and shot, and the ball was interfered with! Tang Qian of the Lakers successfully interfered with the basketball!"
"So you see, this is Tang Qian's ability and value. Just like Yao Ming back then, their rim protection is a great threat. This is difficult to fully explain with data. If James wants to play well tonight, he can't
It's so easy." Well, Director Zhang Weiping said this again. This will make James dislike you even more. Forget it, this old man has been completely "fanned" by Tang Qian in the past few years. As long as he is a Laker
In team games, they will support the Lakers and Tang Qian without any thought.
This is basically the same as describing the Rockets in the past.
ESPN Live Room.
"LeBron didn't score this goal. His touch was really not very good tonight. Shouldn't he have scored this kind of goal earlier? It's a pity. Butler can't stop him anymore."
"There is nothing to be sorry about. LeBron has met a real strong man inside. It is not appropriate for him to play like this. He will suffer." Mutombo told the truth. He thought James would be in real trouble if he continued to play like this.
More shooting attacks are needed. Yes, James himself knows it, but he has reached the bottom of his shooting this season. The basket he practiced with the Heat before was not so targeted in training in the summer, so it has declined to an unknown extent. You
Do you think James’ claims of “Center James” and “Basket James” this season are fake? Not only the fans know about the shooting heat map, but he himself also knows it.
James tried several shots and made 1 of 3 shots, but the effect was not good. He did not feel that his hands were burning.
The Lakers' offense was going smoothly, and the destructive power inside was too strong for the Cavaliers to stop. He was not in the right position and couldn't apply more pressure. So there was no other way but to force it.
With strong breakthroughs, James' current experience, skills and defensive reading ability have been raised to a peak. Butler, a strong outside defender, is still difficult to suppress one-on-one. Don't talk about him, the Spurs' Leonard is enough
Awesome, the winner of the 2nd DPOY in the original space and time, when defending James, isn't it also a one-on-one defense with outside shooting, and the breakthrough relies on two steps + the team's system to assist in defense? So it is not Butler's fault that one-on-one defense cannot suppress James.
Wrong, there is no outside player in the league who can suppress his breakthrough ability one-on-one.
Tank breakthroughs, big openings and closings, and now compared to when he was in his twenties, he has a little more rough and fine skills of "flying through the needle". This is also a natural improvement for James after playing in the NBA for so many years.
His golf IQ is absolutely top-notch in history. There is nothing to say. Butler was out of position this time, and it was difficult to delay the ball. He could only make a temporary decision to play tactical ball.
Using the "Fragile Trap" and "Fragile Cash" defensive tactics, he stopped chasing No. 23, who had passed by, and instead went to control the surroundings of the paint area with other players on the team, ready to interfere and steal James' possible return passes at any time.
The ball went out. This is equivalent to putting LeBron James into a bag. Although the impact and attack shots are not likely to help, it is no longer easy for James to pass it out. 4 Lakers players
It's no joke to be eyeing him. Therefore, James has only one choice at the moment, and there is only one left. One-on-one, head-on confrontation with the Lakers' ultimate rim protector, No. 29, Dongfang Fang.
This tactic is an exclusive tactic invented by Larry Brown for the Lakers. Why do I say it is exclusive? Because without the Lakers' No. 29 as a basis, this tactic will do more harm than good, and the possibility of giving away points is higher.
.Only with the Lakers' No. 29's super rim protection ability can he play so "willfully".
Therefore, the biggest success or failure and tester of this tactic is only one person, and that is No. 5, Tang Qian.
Whether he can resist the opponent who is put into the "vulnerable trap" is the key to the success of this defensive tactic. At this point, the tactical design and tactical execution are all in place. The final success or failure depends on Larry Brown's
His eyes only looked at the inside line.
He only looked towards the basket.
"The Lakers did not delay or delay LeBron. LeBron went in. It was a smooth road and he could take off and impact without being affected at all." Fred McLeod, the Cavaliers' on-site commentator, shouted loudly: "
KING~Conquer your opponents~"
Conquer? You must have this ability. Tang Qian moved to the basket and waited for James to fly into the sky.
James' speed increased again, and he suddenly exploded. He took off on one leg and formed a reverse arch. He grabbed the ball with his right hand and raised it. It was a standard LeBron-style tomahawk, which hit the center of the Lakers' basket. Tang Qian calculated correctly.
At the same time, he suddenly stood up and opened his arms, intending to block the opponent.
Apart from anything else, Tang Qian would never let anyone get wild easily in a one-on-one dunk.
It doesn't matter if he is James or Michael Jordan, it's the same.
Tang Qian tightened his core muscles as he played the ball, and then raised his left hand... This time, he did not go for any interference. What he wanted was to directly attack and defend in the air and give his opponent a spicy kick.
Big hot pot.
This goal attracted the attention of many people. Whether you are a Cavaliers fan or a Lakers fan, whether you are on ESPN or various domestic broadcast platforms, you are all waiting for the result of this matchup. Many people felt that they were slowing down for a while.
When I came down, it was as if my eyes had passed through the screen in front of me and entered Quicken Loans Arena directly.
The two people approached each other in the air, and then they fought head-on!
"This ball... hit Tang Qian's hand! Hit Tang Qian's hand!!!!!!!!!! The Lakers successfully defended this ball!!!!!!!!!! Tang
Qian Ye’s defense was successful!!!!!!!!! He prevented LeBron James’ dunk!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” Tianchao Sports
In the live broadcast room of the station, Meteor Rain shouted loudly, as if that person was himself.
"Although James is in good health, he still can't compare with the inside. Tang Qian is really good. He is truly the number one center in the league. James must be careful when he plays in the future." Zhang Weiping also couldn't believe it. This ball turned out to be so good.
Being able to defend in such a simple and domineering manner, this personal ability makes people convinced. He also became more and more fond of the No. 29 in the broadcast signal. Because, in this young man, he saw the rise of national basketball.
Great strides of hope.
Otherwise, how many years has domestic basketball been silent? After Yao Ming retired, he has not won an Olympics or a World Championship. How miserable is this? Tang Qian has given many domestic fans a glimmer of hope.
Zhang Weiping is just one of them.
In the ESPN live broadcast room, Mutombo even shouted directly: Beautiful hat, Alonzo is so good at getting this nickname, he is indeed the emperor. James will be able to bear it tonight.
I wonder how many points he can score in the Lakers' paint tonight? I really want to see the ending.
