Chapter 284: Unsolved Zhan
The first round of the Eastern Conference has just ended, and the second round is immediately ignited. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Although the playoffs are not so dense, the intensity is still not low.
The Celtics just arrived in Cleveland a day early, just for recovery training, without much tactical drill.
It's all about the tactical arrangement of the knights, although they are not sure to win the opponent, but the work that should be done still has to be done.
It's not a professional team, it's not the style it should be.
It's not the style that the Predator Green Shirts have always had!
The tactical core of this Cavaliers must be LeBron James, of course, he is not only the core of the court, but even the tactical arranger.
If you don't agree, you will take the manager's tactics board and assign tactics to the team.
And this is not the first time!
I don't know how many *** *** rushed by in my heart at that time.
I don't know how I felt at the time, which was more uncomfortable than Iverson's humiliation at the beginning?
Only Tyronn Lu understands the taste, but no matter which one it is, it must be uncomfortable.
But there is no choice, because this knight is James's knight.
If you are careful, you will find that James is not only a player, not only a guest coach, but also a manager of the team, and even a qualified agent.
An average of 8+8 data interior players per game, you can get a 5-year contract of 80 million, just ask who else you have?!
Even if Dan Feigen comes out, he may not be able to take it.
It can be seen from all sides that LeBron James is the most important core of this team.
The Knight's offense revolves around him, but there is not only one point of attack.
Irving is also one of the offensive originators, he is a pure point guard, extremely fast, quite flashy with a good shooting hand.
The fast advance speed allows him to cooperate with James and often play fast counterattacks like the Jenway connection.
The Cavaliers' tactics are mainly to let James hold the ball and play, or to attract the bag with a single play, and then give the ball to his teammates to let them finish the offense. This is also the reason why the Cavaliers want to match James with a bunch of three-point shooters, and even the interior players choose a big man who can open up space - Kevin Love.
Therefore, when playing against the Cavaliers, limit the opponent's two offensive starting points, James and Irving.
This is also the only strategy of Coach Stevens at the moment.
The playoffs rely on defense, such a truth, it is estimated that only D'Antoni has not yet understood.
A team without defense is destined to not go far in the playoffs.
The Celtics' strategy is to slow down the opponent's speed while doing a good job of their own defense, fall into the positional battle attack, slowly consume, wear out the opponent's physical strength little by little, and win the opponent by defense.
It's just a good idea, but it's not a simple thing to guard against James and Irving. It's not bad to be able to limit one, let alone two.
But no matter what the result is, give it a try.
On May 3, in the first round of the competition between the two sides, Coach Stevens made a huge adjustment to the lineup.
Starting point guard Smart, scoring guard Turner, small forward Shangguan Yu, power forward Amir Johnson, center Jerebuk.
The Cavaliers started the five Tigers, and there were not much changes, still Irving, J.R. Smith, James, Thompson and Love.
In the first round, the Cavaliers sent the Pistons home early, but for such a long time, they were in much better condition than the Celtics without a game.
Love wins the jump ball and James leaps to snatch it down.
He didn't give the ball to Owen and pushed himself into the half.
At a glance, it was Amir Johnson who was in front of him, and James thought to himself, this ball is stable!
Defensive ability, Amir Johnson is indeed a little stronger than Shangguan Yu, but he is a defensive and pick-and-roll inside.
Even if Amir Johnson has the advantage of height and weight, his strength is not a loss.
But his opponent is James, the league's most physical player, and Amir Johnson simply can't stand it.
The other players of the Cavaliers pulled away, and James pushed down the three-point line one step and chose to play with his back to the single.
JR Smith lay in ambush on the baseline, and Lovele pulled outside the weak-side three-point line to look for an opportunity to shoot or cover Irving at the right time. Thompson was lying dormant near the baseline on the other side, waiting for an opportunity to come.
James put on such a posture to attract opponents to the bag. If a Celtic player is trapped, then he can pass the ball to an open teammate. There are five people on the court, except for Thompson, who has no shooting ability, and the other four are all pitchers, and they can end the offense by receiving the ball in the open position.
If he doesn't, then he can do it himself.
The Celtics didn't have a bag, James had a hard back, and Amir Johnson was barely able to withstand it.
It's just a feint!
When Amir Johnson adjusted his center of gravity, James accelerated and turned, one step past him, and James, who was sprinting with all his might, ran into the interior like a small tank.
Jerebko let go of Thompson to make up for the defense, and the young James, regardless of the three-seven-twenty-one at this time, flew directly to the dunk. Now he played smarter, making a quick stop and stepping back to shoot, the ball leaped past Jerebko's fingertips, drew a beautiful arc, and fell firmly into the net, 2-0.
James opened the scoring for his team and the Celtics were desperate to fight back. The tactical offensive core arranged by the coach, that is, the tactical initiation point, is Shangguan Yu. But under James's close pressing, Shangguan Yu is not to mention attacking, and it is very difficult to get the ball out.
Smart is a two-way defender, but passing is never his first choice, and when he can't organize an effective attack.
Smart has only one choice, and that is to come by himself!
Breakthrough is what he is good at, his body is his strength, and he still has a few chances of winning against Irving, who has been criticized for his defense.
Taking advantage of his physical advantage to force Irving, Smart hit the inside toss.
Suddenly, a figure came out of the oblique stab, it was LeBron James, who was wearing the Knight's No. 23 uniform.
Syllable!
A big palm slammed into the ball, slapping his shot onto the rebound.
After landing on the ground, he jumped for the second time, grabbed the ball, and held the ball above his head with both hands and shook it vigorously.
The moment Irving, who ran outside the three-point line, received the ball, he quickly activated, like a lightning bolt rushing forward.
The Celtics were the only ones who retreated, and after James made a pass, he didn't stop, but rushed forward quickly.
Owen didn't choose to come by himself for this goal, with Turner chasing in front of him and Shangguan Yu behind him.
Out of the corner of his eye, he slowed down and took three steps, not to make a layup, but to throw the ball high in the air.
James slapped his horse to arrive, flew in the air, and easily pressed the ball into the basket with both hands, 4-0.
This is the most typical quick counterattack of the knights!
James, who is flying in the air, can only pray that he will be dropped off except by a handful of them, then you can only pray that he will be able to take him away.
The fans at the scene were completely boiling, and at the beginning of the game, James's performance was so eye-catching, they cheered for the city's heroes.
The next game turned into James' solo performance.
Using the cover to shake off Amir Johnson, who was following the defense, Jerebko was too slow to make up the defense, and James hit a three-point shot steadily.
The Celtics missed the shot, James grabbed the rebound, and a pass that exceeded half court was safely handed to Irving, who went straight to the basket and pulled the rod for a layup to score two more points.
Seeing James' presence-filled performance, Shangguan Yu could only sigh helplessly.
Full strength Zhan has no solution!
