Chapter 1367 Welcome to the half-abandoned James system
Is James awesome? Very awesome. So many honors are not fake. The top ten in history are certain, and even the top five Presidential Hill is possible. After all, he has played for a long time, accumulated data, and has a strong playoff breakout. But
, does such a player have shortcomings? Yes! And it is obvious. He is even estimated to be the easiest to restrict among the top ten in history.
The premise is that you must have a strong internal defensive core, preferably a heavy one.
James has won three championships in this time and space. Except for the Thunder, which entered the finals for the first time, the rest were all battles, resurrecting the defeated team, and winning in tiebreakers. What about losing? Basically, it was clean and neat, without hesitation at all.
. Even when Howard and Garnett were still in good condition, it was difficult for him to lead the team to advance through the Eastern Conference. Coupled with a large amount of data to support it, James plays a strong inside, and his shooting percentage will not fall. It just depends on how much.
I won’t say it anymore, just know it well. But now is the era when the Tyrannosaurus rex is extinct, and the alliance has repeatedly revised the rules in his favor, which makes him so strong. Otherwise, think about it, why so many people don’t
Do you like James? He obviously does a better job than others on and off the court, even impeccably.
I dare say that if James had stayed with the Cavaliers for these three championships on his own, and the non-Big Three teamed up to win the championship, the effect would have been completely different. Many more people would be convinced, because in other aspects, he is close to perfect.
It's a pity that he met Tang Qian in this time and space. A new generation of center overlords was born, so...
But actually it's okay. Before Tang Qian grew up, he basically didn't miss out on the championship rings he should have received. If he could know his original time and space trajectory, would he be secretly happy? Lakers
The team's offense is still stable, or you can say it's a bit satisfactory, but that's enough. The Cavaliers' defense is not that tight. And there is one point on the Lakers' side that they absolutely cannot guard against. As long as they are beaten by Don
If Qian got the chance, he would hit Thompson hard. For an insider with such height and tonnage, Tang Qian was really afraid that he could eat him alive.
Look at Thompson's expression now. He is very angry and annoyed, but it is of no use.
You still have to be beaten and beaten.
The problem of the Cavaliers' offense being too single has emerged. Unless James' system is opened up, otherwise, without system support, it is really too much to just rely on these people to run tactics and open spaces. You can still run through tactics.
The 73-win Warriors in the Western Conference Finals? They were all defeated by us. Your Cavaliers are at most a little brother.
This is really not looking down on the Cavaliers, because the Cavaliers are not built in a team-based and tactical style. From the beginning of their team system, they serve superstar ball. The rest only need to do a good job of throwing open balls.
. Therefore, many people also gave the Cavaliers players a nickname: "Royal Salute".
James has tried passing the ball many times, but the results are not good, so now he can only play by himself. Others ask you to play one against one, how can you not play? The end result of forcing the pass is useless, giving the role
The players "passed the blame". After all, these people are not capable of playing on their own and need someone to feed them. James still came on his own.
Well, this may not be good news for other teams, but for the Lakers, they are not afraid at all.
Of course there is no big problem when James plays Ariza. It can be done easily even without a pick-and-roll. It just depends on... the result after entering.
"James rushed up. The ball was very fast. It was really powerful. Just like a human tank, his strongest outside finishing ability at the basket is not fake. With just such a move, not many people can guard him. It is also James's standing in the league.
A magic weapon. From the start, the ball was, was blocked!!! Tang Qian blocked James' attack at the basket again!!! This figure looks like a vulture!" Zhang Weiping explained at the scene, excited.
He once again deviated from his position, but everyone is used to it. When he used to commentate on the Rockets, he was basically like this. But after all, he is a Chinese player, so bear with it and don't mute it.
The cover of this ball is extremely clean, there is no fault at all, and even looking at the body shape, I almost want to catch it directly.
This judgment, this bullet speed, and this blocking accuracy are simply amazing.
Tang Qian looked at James and said, "Welcome again."
On the offensive end, the Lakers made a four-corner move, and then... they immediately gave the inside line. Tang Qian hit again, and Thompson was immediately pushed out of the baseline. The difference in tonnage and strength was too big, and he was simply in Tang Qian's eyes.
"Not good" level. As a center, only 238 pounds, are you kidding me? After Tang Qian turned around, there was no one in front of him to defend him. He raised his hands and made a strong slam~
"Hot~Slam.Dunk~~~"
James forced a baseline pass and made a backhand layup. As a result, Love also received a big block from No. 29 and said: "KING~ Don't waste your time~ If you can't open it, they won't even have a chance!" Tang Qian
It's true. In James' system, James himself has not opened up, but he still wants to lead others? Isn't it nonsense? The Lakers' offense did not hit this time, Ariza's shot was interfered, and the basketball missed.
But the rebound was taken away by Lakers No. 29, and then the basket went up... beep beep ~ foul.
Got to the free throw line and made 2 of 2 free throws.
Thompson had no choice at all. His hardware and software were just like playing house in front of No. 29. Apart from fouling, he had no way to interfere or suppress him. In order to resist Tang Qian, the Cavaliers could only replace him with
The big center, Timofey Mozgov, has improved in height and tonnage. Mozgov is 216cm tall and weighs 275 pounds. He is already the heaviest post player in the Cavaliers. His mobility is not as good as
Thompson, there is no way. We can't just let No. 29 get whatever he wants as easily as walking in the back garden. The Cavaliers attacked and ran a corner position to separate each other, but the effect was really unsatisfactory. The Lakers easily defended
Up, it is equivalent to isolating James near the top arc again.
Okay, KING, it's time for you to perform again, I'm waiting for you.
When James was in his twenties, James' breakthroughs still had some changes of direction and skills. Now he basically just breaks through or uses the pick-and-roll to directly attack. Unfortunately, the opponent cannot guard him alone. The Lakers replaced Josh Smith.
Let him guard James, and Ariza takes a rest first. Somehow, when playing against the Cavaliers, the Lakers are extremely well-equipped. Everyone does not need to play for too long, except for the 5th position. This way, physical fitness can
It has always maintained its peak state.
But on the 29th, you have to do what you have to do, and Larry Brown is not a fool on this point.
As soon as you look at the steps Josh Smith takes in defense, you will know what his basic defensive intention is. He directly steps forward and backward, which means that he is mainly defending the opponent's projection rather than breakthrough. This way
This situation is relatively rare for James, because everyone is afraid of his breakthrough, so basically the starting pace is mainly parallel steps. But tonight, the Lakers, let alone Josh Smith, Ariza just now, no
Is it also such a defensive posture?
It's like telling James, go ahead, you can break through as much as you want, anyway, we have to guard against your shots.
This is really naked contempt. James is still the best in the league this season. Is the boss of the defending champion team so disrespectful? James is indeed a rational player in playing, not too emotional, and his shot selection is among the best in history. But
Now, the Lakers have made it clear that they are saying, we know that you play very rationally and are very good at analyzing and weighing, so okay, you now use your rational mind to analyze and weigh, how should you play?
James did the same thing, so after a little analysis of the Lakers' defense, he found that now he can't do it without playing. It seems that his singles position has become the best choice. This is what the Lakers have put forward.
Yangmou is specifically targeting the so-called "James system". To put it bluntly, James' system requires James to play by himself to drive the whole team and to support the whole team. He has not opened it himself, and the opponent has to defend one against the other.
situation, how can he lead the whole team?
The most classic James system is that after James attacks the defense and attracts the defense, he plays the ball decisively. This is also a trump card. Who among the opponents doesn't know how to defend and break the Cavaliers' "James system"? However, there is no such condition. Because first of all
, in this era, no one can defend No. 23 one-on-one. So, if you let him play open and break in without assisting in defense or double-teaming, it will be a dead end.
His finishing shooting percentage at the basket is higher than that of the All-Star center, and he ranks first in the history of outside shooting. I want to ask you if you accept it?
So it became a matter of choosing one of two bottles of poison.
This is an unbreakable key area of James' system. It can even be said to be the top priority.
There are still some defenses in history, such as the Rockets back then. After you entered, we relied on Yao Ming to block and reduce assist defense and double-teaming. In this way, the damage to the team's overall defense line was reduced. The damage to the defense line was reduced.
If it is smaller, there will be fewer open opportunities on the outside. Therefore, when James plays Yao Ming, he will lose more and win less. And his personal data is not good.
I'm afraid many people don't know that in the Rockets' matchup between James and Yao Ming, only one of the ten games reached 100 points, which is three digits. The rest were all below 100 points. Most of them scored 80+ and 70+.
Scored once. The lowest score was even only 63 points! Do you remember that James led the team to score lower? It is extremely rare. So, this is not false. If you want to defend the so-called "James system", first you press and hold
Just James is fine.
The Lakers are now just copying the Rockets' example.
It's not the first time. As for whether James has not reached his peak yet, James is the representative of the peak in his second year. He entered the All-NBA Team in 2004, the All-NBA Team in 2005, and was the MVP in 2008. He still can't beat him.
That Rockets team, let alone long-range shots. Against the Rockets, he actually shot quite well from three-point range, 34%. This was much higher than his career three-point shooting percentage before going to the Heat. If
If three points are abnormal, this will probably be even worse.
As expected, James broke in anyway, because since it was a conspiracy, there was no way around it. You had to use force to defeat it, and it was difficult to use tricks.
Besides, the Lakers did the right thing. The James system really requires James to open it. He was held down, and the so-called James system could only disintegrate and become a gray icon that cannot activate skills.
Josh Smith was also passed. James' breakthrough process was almost unstoppable, even if Jordan came. When this body exploded, there was no way to completely suppress it. Even the Rockets in the Yao Ming era
The team cannot do it. Otherwise, James' system would not be so strong and have stood firm for many years. If you want to hold him down and pinch the "seven inches" of James' system, there is only one way, think of a solution from the end point.
Think of ways to protect the basket. If you succeed in protecting the basket, it is considered a success.
After coming in, Tang Qian quickly moved to the basket, preparing to catch James' thunderous strike.
James's shot was a dunk! His iconic super tomahawk dunk!
And do you know that James has only been blocked a few times in nearly 2,000 dunks, except for being blocked by Tang Qian? The answer is only 9 times as of 2019! This is ESPN's detailed statistics, and there is absolutely no problem. There are only 9 times in 16 seasons.
This shows how difficult it is to block shots. As of June 2016, he has only been blocked 6 times! The most recent time was when he was slapped by Myles Turner of the Pacers in February against the Pacers.
Next. Of course, this is the regular season and does not include the playoffs. But this time and space are different. He has been blocked by Tang Qian countless times.
It is estimated that someone will conduct this statistics in the future.
Otherwise, why did Mourning give Tang Qian the nickname "The Emperor", specifically to block James' dunks? No one other than Tang Qian could do it. In this era, there is no such person anymore.
Okay, okay, KING, I'm afraid you forgot.
Are you afraid of being dominated by my big palm?
The young master is now...a god descending to earth.
Let’s eat hotpot!
Bang~ With a clean palm, the ball was directly knocked away. Due to the huge inertia and imbalance in the air, James fell directly to the ground. At this time, the Lakers immediately played a wave of 5 on 4! This has become a trend of the Lakers now.
It's a "standard tactic". As long as Tang Qian slaps someone's hat on the ground, he will immediately grab 5 on 4! Not to mention the high success rate, it is also very easy!
Regarding this kind of ball, even if Larry Brown doesn't like to play defensive counterattack, he will nod in acquiescence.
5 against 4 is an opportunity, isn't it? If you don't fight, you won't fight.
The score difference gradually widened, and it was about to reach double figures, but the Cavaliers still couldn't break the game. McGrady said at this time, if the Cavaliers want to open up the situation, James must stand up now. This is what a superstar should do.
Van Gundy added that because the Cavaliers are in James' system, they need to play No. 23. Otherwise, the system will fail in this game. It is very unfavorable.
Yes, that's true, James also knows it, so it's impossible for him not to stand up and fight now.
Let’s talk about the Lakers. It’s still the same old routine, because the so-called James system is also an old routine. It just matches up. It depends on who can kill whom. If James takes care of it, then the Lakers’ defense will be defeated.
Broken, the Cavaliers as a whole were revitalized, and James' system was re-operational. Once the Lakers got it done, that's when James and the James system of the Cavaliers reached a deadlock.
James dribbled and broke through. After Josh Smith recovered a lot of defensive skills, he was not so easy to pass. However, because he had to strictly implement the task of "inviting you to the urn", he still quickly let James pass him.
To be honest, when he looked at the back of No. 23 entering, he couldn't help but feel a little sympathy.
He himself had challenged No. 29 many times during training, but the results always ended miserably.
That's why the tactic of letting people in is so popular with the Lakers.
The reason is that there is still a tyrant and devil inside.
They just opened the door and let you in... you are looking for death.
James went in, looked at the face of No. 29, and suddenly his condition improved. After all, he is a historical giant, he is not joking, he has his own dignity.
Dongfang Fang, I don’t believe you are an iron wall!
A second later, there was a "pop", and James was taught how to be a good person. What is self-esteem?
It's not so easy for you to get blocked when you lay up in front of me, so you dunk directly??? Hey hey hey, do you want to see what my success rate is for a frontal dunk?
King James, please be patient, dunk me? Or challenge me head-on? It doesn't exist.
The Lakers passed by, set up a high pick-and-roll, and then passed it to the inside. Tang Qian pressed Mozgov and hit the net, as if he had just hit Thompson. There was no difference. After the god came to earth, his scoring ability improved to the extreme.
What a pity. In any era, it is a symbol of invincibility! If a person wants to defend himself, is he still an inferior Mozgov?
Are you daydreaming about the blue sky?
Leading by 2 digits, there was not much time left in this quarter. Tang Qian watched James come in again and suddenly shouted:
KING~ I have already told you, as long as I am here, you are welcome here.
James also yelled in his heart, and he smashed over again, and then... he was completely blocked by the opponent's huge force. With his own acceleration and body inertia, he fell out through the air.
Down syndrome bully hat. James was hit.
"What are you waiting for? Fast break!" After a wave of fast breaks, Josh Smith finally dunked into the net with one hand.
Tang Qian made a cheering gesture, then reached out to the Cavaliers and said:
"Your journey ends here!"
"Are you ready to go home?"
At the end of the first half, the Lakers entered the locker room 44-32, leading their opponents by 12 points.
