Chapter 1663 Don't let me get the chance to mess with you!
The Cavaliers also had a bad start this year, and are currently only ranked sixth in the Eastern Conference. As of now, team incompatibility, internal strife among players, and conflicts in the locker room are all unresolved problems. You can see that James and Thomas
The conflict between them has become clear. When the two of them came out to Quicken Loans Arena, they basically had zero communication the whole time.
"KING~ You said that our Lakers team is also a team, have you asked me?" Tang Qian was not polite to James at all. In fact, he and James were never polite. Once the two entered the league, they were rivals, Tianke,
They have different views on basketball, and the competition for the number one player is the reason. So when you complain, you have no scruples. Antetokounmpo also learned from Tang Qian in this regard. When answering reporters, he said: "I will not compete with my opponent.
Be friends!”
Did you see it? It is like this regardless of the original time and space or the current time and space! This is the spirit that is most lacking in this era of big brothers!
Therefore, Tang Qian likes Antetokounmpo and has no feelings for James. After all, who started this era of big brothers, especially the era of peak brothers basketball. Everyone knows it. It goes without saying. James and Tang Qian have already broken up with each other.
, in addition to being crushed by this oriental man in two finals, he also responded directly and rudely: "What do I want to say, do I still need to ask you?"
"Nonsense. Maybe I don't care if you talk about others. If you talk about me and my team, tell me, do you want to ask me?" Tang Qian even said against James' words: "Put an accurate player from last season on.
If a super scorer is half-used, I guess you have this ability. I don't. Think of it this way, isn't it? If you use other stars to waste, then you are not the Big Three. It's amazing."
"You don't have to look down on me. Your situation this season is no better than ours!"
"At least we are not sixth in the Western Conference. Let me tell you, with the current record of your Cavaliers, if you come to our Western Conference, you are still not even close to the top eight. James Badong."
"I'm different this season! Do you think that as the strongest player in history, I won't improve and adjust?"
"The strongest player in history? Are you embarrassed? If Jordan says that to me, I will forget it. You? Who do you think you are? How can you be brave when you have a defeated opponent?"
The two people's bickering has been extremely fierce since the beginning of this season. It may be that both sides are currently having a difficult record, so how can I put it, yes, that's the sentence, the anger is very strong. Add in the new grudges and old grudges, and naturally it's a little bit...
It's burning. But as for James saying that he is the best player in history and that he is the LOGO, he is really not making it up. Because whether it is this time and space or another time and space, he has said this. And the timeline is also
After defeating the Warriors in the Finals.
Don’t believe it? This is really true. Just search it yourself and you will know that it is absolutely not fabricated.
But Tang Qian really wants to say, where did you get your confidence? Not to mention that your finals were almost difficult every time, but with these three core rings, you want to be the best in history? Are you not bullying everyone?
Less, right? In this way, I now have 4 core rings. Do I have a higher historical status than James? What a nonsense!
However, the Cavaliers have many internal problems, and the Lakers are short of major generals. The lineup the Lakers can now arrange is Tang Qian + Yi Jianlian + Butler + Kuzma + Rondo. The Cavaliers are James + Love +
Isaiah Thomas + J.R Smith + Tristan Thompson. Because Rose from the original time and space has already come over, so he is not here. But Rose's presence is useless. Because he also left the Cavaliers and James in the original time and space before he broke out.
.Same as Wade.
The Lakers kicked off first. The Cavaliers' offense this season is still very good, averaging 110+ per game, but their defense is terrible to the extreme. Their season started in 1950, and all teams played 1,463 seasons.
, and then the Cavaliers are ranked 1463rd. The defensive efficiency is last in history. So if you can't score points against the Cavaliers, it's completely useless. The Cavaliers are basically the same old thing, James runs the James system, Lu guides
There is only KING in the eyes, and then the shooter pulls away, and the inside line pulls out to pick and roll, well, it will never change.
But if you give James some reliable shooters, he can indeed guarantee the lower limit of the team's strength. There is no doubt about this. The Lakers are more experienced in dealing with the Cavaliers, specializing in pinching their outside shooters. Anyway, their James
If the system is not working, then these people can only stare from outside the three-point line. James' shooting percentage dropped below 30% in the finals last season. This shows that the Lakers No. 29 was a huge shock to him.
Kuzma was replaced to deal with James. Of course, he is far inferior in ability, but this defense has special characteristics. Larry Brown only needs Kuzma to defend James' three-pointers, and there is no need to worry about the rest.
.
There is No. 29 inside to protect the basket, and the mid-range is the same as before. Just ask him to shoot.
Such a defensive goal is much easier for Kuzma, and it will not appear too nervous. This matchup is mainly to take care of Butler. Now the Lakers are short of manpower. If Butler guards James again, it will definitely
It will consume a lot of money. In this case, it will inevitably affect the offensive end. Considering this, Larry Brown made this preparation before the game.
At the beginning, James's pass in the top arc was blocked by Tang Qian, who was blocked by Tang Qian. He was actually very generous with his hat when playing against the Cavaliers. In the past few years, he has never had fewer hats when playing against the Cavaliers.
Yes, the Lakers played easily and contentedly, because the Cavaliers' current lineup is basically a defensive colander. Yes, including LeBron James. James in the regular season this season is still playing healthy basketball.
The competitive environment in the Eastern Conference also allows him to maintain his health. Looking at James' defense over the years since leaving the Heat, you can basically only see it in the playoffs. In the regular season, his defensive efficiency is hard to describe. You say you
Want to know the exact defensive data of James this season? In case I am deceiving others? Yes, in the original time and space, James' defensive efficiency this season is 111.4. What is the concept? He ranks 280th+ in the league. It is not 28, and it is not a mistake.
That’s 280+ bits.
To be precise, it was No. 283. January was the worst month ever and was at the bottom of the league.
Teammate Thomas Jr. gave him the nickname "The Devil with His Arms Akimbo."
In the regular season of the next season, the nickname of the direct defensive end was upgraded again, called the Walking Devil. Because his defensive end movement speed is only 3.23 miles per hour, which is 1.45 meters per second. Binowitzki's per second
1.47 meters is even slower. And King Nuo was 41 years old that season. Think about it. FOX and Sports Illustrated also had articles saying: James is very good at finding gaps to rest during the game, and then... rest during the game. No
There is no truth in the data. How can the great "best player in history" be compiled in this way? Of course it is not enough, so they released the data. In the 17-18 season, James played at a walking pace for about 74.4% of the time.
Of course James would not admit it. His answer at the time was, get lost, I tell you, I am definitely the most tired in the entire stadium. Haha, now he doesn’t admit the data?
In fact, even in this season's playoffs, James' movement speed is second to last among players who have played more than 10 minutes in the entire league. Don't believe it? Don't be fooled by some of his highlight defense and performance. The data is here.
Well, James' average moving speed in the playoffs this season is 6km/h. Therefore, James is really good at saving physical energy when playing, knowing when to use key points and when to reduce "unnecessary movements."
During the regular season, James was a king with his arms akimbo. The once integrated offense and defense were no longer visible anyway. Rondo easily killed him. Little Thomas loudly reminded James to go over and help defend, but he didn't move at all and watched Rondo play.
This goal was scored. The Cavaliers hit the ball after passing by, and Rondo followed the same pattern and hit another one on the right side.
This made Thomas Jr. very dissatisfied. He originally broke up with the Cavaliers and KING. In fact, it was this, two core points:
First, everyone needs to share the ball. James, you took all the ball, and we still beat you.
Secondly, everyone needs to work hard to defend. James is no exception.
This situation naturally irritated James. In addition, James is indeed recuperating and playing in the regular season. He is not very motivated to move, especially without the ball. If you want him to defend hard, I am very tired, so I won’t do it.
We are all very tired, you don’t know.
Why don't you try being a father and a mother? Well, it seems that others are willing to do this for you.
Thomas Jr. is also tough. He actually started to fight against James. He took the ball and did it himself. He is also a defender. He controlled the ball for half the court without any problems. He ignored James' request for the ball and directly directed the whole team to play quickly.
, and then he hit a big three-pointer. Nonsense, he was the king of the final quarter last season. Do you think it was a joke? The average points per game in the final quarter was as high as the first in the 21st century! It surpassed Kobe James and others.
One vote.
And it’s surprisingly efficient!
You can score nearly 10 points with 5+ shots. Think about it. James is in the final quarter, so he is not as efficient as him.
At least in the regular season, he really deserves it.
In the last five minutes, his efficiency was even higher, and he could score 5+ points in 2+ shots. I'm afraid.
So he had to do it by himself, and he was really powerful when he exploded. Last season's quasi-super scorer was not blocked. The Lakers' defensive rhythm was a little caught off guard because of Thomas Jr.'s attack this time. Because as usual, not all
Did James come out to take control of everything? You suddenly jumped out, what's going on?
In addition, he passed the ball quite well. The Cavaliers actually focused on him in the first quarter and fought evenly with the Lakers. Of course, this is because the Lakers did not expect that the Cavaliers would play like this. The defensive arrangement was completely complete.
Wrong. Larry Brown thought at first that Tylen Lue had woken up tonight and saw through his own arrangement, but he didn’t know that this was not the case at all. After Lu guided him, he asked: You
Why not give the ball to our King of Cleveland, LeBron James?
Why not give the ball? Just ask you.
Thomas is also speechless about this head coach. He is so submissive to a player that he even kneels down and licks him, and he is still called the head coach? I really don’t know how this guy got such a high head coaching contract. Mader is higher than himself
do you know?
Is it so easy to make money as a coach now? It’s so fucked!!!
Yes, Thomas's annual salary is only a few million now. In this era, it is simply a bargain price. No, it is worth less than a bargain price. But after all, this team still belongs to James, and James is just a small team with a few brothers.
After saying that, he immediately took a rest on the bench, and Thomas's shooting percentage suddenly dropped. What happened? It was nothing more than the tricks used to train Kyrie Irving. Let you play, and then let everyone see.
, whether you can do it or not, whether you can lead this team well. If you can’t lead it, naturally I will come out after you have been asked for a long time.
What method? Simple. Take away Thomas's strongest attack skill.
What is Thomas's most efficient scoring weapon? It is the pick-and-roll attack. His pick-and-roll attack ability is second in the league, averaging 1.029 points per game. If you get this, let the inside man reduce the number of high-quality pick-and-rolls for him, and his
The attack will naturally go down. After all, the Lakers' No. 1 defensive strongman is not a vegetarian. Rondo and Beverley are both ruthless.
There is a ball that is typical. Thomas attacked hard and was knocked out by a Lakers defensive player. As a result... no Cavaliers player came to pull him down on the baseline. In the original time and space, this person was Rose of the Cavaliers. Now the time and space is gone.
, so no one pulled him up for a long time. The Lakers directly succeeded in 5-on-4. Thomas was also angry, so he sat on the baseline to see if anyone would care about him. In the end, Rose of the Lakers couldn't stand it anymore.
Pulled him up.
But this made Thomas completely frustrated with this team.
Rose looked at him pitifully and said: Fortunately, I chose the Lakers this year instead of going to the Cavaliers. Brother, be careful.
Nick Young was not in good condition because he had not fully recovered. Rose stepped up at this time and took over Nick Young's bench scorer position. Then the Cavaliers' bench defense was in a mess. Because now the Lakers don't have a real
He has grown up. Gasol was originally a good backup, but he was also injured. Now he can only use Thackeray? Tang Qian asked himself to continue playing in this game, because he knew very well that there was no need for too many reinforcements.
The Lakers originally wanted to temporarily sign some insiders to buy Tang Qian some rest time, but Tang Qian refused directly. At the same time, he said: Use the special case to sign more useful people. I have Sacrifice, which is enough.
Because the Lakers' salary cap has been exceeded, if they want to sign someone, they can only use special cases. They can't waste it easily.
The Lakers' goal this season, and Tang Qian's goal, is still the same, and that is to win the championship.
Therefore, don't waste the signer exception that can be operated on the hat easily.
Naturally, the management would not agree, but Tang Qian insisted firmly, saying that this season is the year of the dynasty, and everything is for the development of three consecutive championships! The rest can be postponed!!! Seeing the team leader's insistence, the Lakers' management also
There is no way, after all, Tang Qian is the face of the team now, and he will be the face of the team in the future. What do you think you are going to do? Besides... what he said is not unreasonable. This year is the last year of the three consecutive dynasties. In order to
For this goal, the entire team is willing to pay any price.
As for consumption, Tang Qian is still young after all, especially since the Lakers management already knew that he had tested his bone age, so there was some luck in his mind. Three consecutive dynasties. After the beginning of the 21st century, no one has done it except O.K.
Passed. If the Lakers can do it again and monopolize two three consecutive championships in the first 20 years of the 21st century, plus a second consecutive championship, they will be the brightest star in the 21st century. This is very important to the team management.
It is also a huge honor and great achievement. Therefore, no one is unmoved in front of the three consecutive dynasties.
The Lakers have now created two three-consecutive dynasties, which is equal to the Bulls. If Boston's eight-consecutive dynasty is also included, that means they are both two times. But if the Lakers achieve it for the third time, it will be the only one in NBA history.
A team that has achieved three consecutive dynasties three times. This temptation, not to mention the players, is also full of temptations for the management and uniform staff.
And with the current injury frenzy in the league, it is indeed necessary to keep useful exceptions in case of emergencies.
Little Thomas seemed to see a hint of ridicule from a certain No. 23 when he turned his head. His eyes suddenly turned red and he continued to kill. As a result, after a failed duel with Tang Qian, he also sprained his ankle due to an unstable landing. Although
It's not serious, but he has no intention of continuing to play. He doesn't have the desire to play with injuries for this team. What's funny is that the team doctor also asked him not to play. What's going on?
, he knew it very well in his heart.
He didn't go to the locker room, but sat on the sidelines, and then watched No. 23 make his debut again. Quicken Loans Arena was filled with cheers, as if to welcome their true king.
Seeing this, Thomas suddenly spat on the ground and cursed at the same time: "Damn Cavaliers, damn James, are you going to do this to me and force me to leave? Okay! Let me go and show you!!!
"
"Don't let me catch you! If I catch you, I will kill you!!!!!!!! Bastards!!!!Fxxxxxxx!!!!!!!!!!"
This scene was caught by the courtside camera. It seemed that Thomas was definitely going to be fined for this uncivilized behavior. However, he didn't care at all. Because in Cleveland, he had no desire to fight at all. Here, there is no desire at all.
He is not welcome. He can tell that as long as he doesn't get along with someone, he will definitely not be able to stay. If he doesn't leave, this place won't keep him long.
Yes, he felt it was right this time, because this was what the Cavaliers did in the history of time and space.
Including a certain Heat No. 3 who came all the way to join his brothers.
