Sean's defense has always been considered weak and flawed in the league. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

This is the most prominent feature of the stream of impressions, as Sean is often not responsible for rushing to the best defenders in front. When I was with the Eagles, even if I did, I was beaten miserably.

After arriving at the Magic, Stephenson was the defensive leader, and Sean was in charge of helping and switching defenses.

In other words, Sean is equivalent to a position that benefits tactically.

But is Sean's defense really bad?

TNT organized a wave of experts to discuss this issue.

"Now let's look at two pictures, Sean in the Magic and Sean in the Magic." During the TV show, an expert clicked on the screen, and the video of the game began to play.

The first picture is Stephenson's defensive scoring guard breakthrough, Stephenson is very strong, the defense is very successful, the scoring guard has no choice but to pass the ball, but after passing the ball, Sean quickly assists in defense, stretches out his hand to interfere with the shot, and the opposite small forward hits the iron.

The second picture shows Sean's game when he was suspended. Stephenson went to defend the offensive player, but the ball went directly to the running player, and Arroyo's defense was not at all. The opposing player hits a three-pointer.

"This is just one of the typical representatives, and we can see a lot of similar scenes."

The expert continued, and the screen changed again.

Sean's misplaced defensive shooters and catch-and-shoot players are very in place, although when the players with strong defensive strength are misplaced, they will be pushed away, and Stephenson has to help defend, but Sean quickly switches to defend others.

This kind of video, if it is not deliberately pointed out, fans will not notice Sean at all.

Because the eyes of fans always move with the offensive players with the ball, the work Sean does is misplaced defense and co-defense, which is not very eye-catching, not to mention that even if it is misplaced defense, Sean's role is often only to delay the player's offense, and then be fiercely pushed away by the opposing player, many scoring guards and small forwards can rely on their strength to force them over, enter the basket, and Sean is used as a background board There are many situations.

At this time, no one thought that Sean's defense was weak.

"In these two videos, we can see that Sean's shooting and breakthrough effect on the outside line misalignment defense is very obvious, especially Sean Lee, a Chinese ball quotient is very high, almost every time a teammate defends an offensive player, Sean can find the opponent's offensive vacancy to defend, which causes a lot of interference to the opposing team."

"Yes, Sean's rebounding is the same, if it is purely calculated according to the rebounding position and the confrontation under the basket, Sean is definitely weak, but Sean's judgment of rebounding and the advantage of speed make Sean rebound a lot."

"But why do most people think Sean is weak defensively?"

Some experts questioned it, and then another picture appeared on the court.

"Byron Davis singled Sean, squeezed Sean straight away and hit it from mid-range."

"Sean misplaced the defensive small forward and the shooting guard, and after being squeezed straight away, the offensive player broke through to the basket."

……

One scene after another is also the most common situation for fans on the court, because at this time, the offensive players have the ball in their hands, and it is at this time that fans watch Sean's defense, and at this time, it is precisely when Sean is most embarrassed.

"Sean's absolute strength is not strong, and he has been crushed many times against scoring guards and small forwards, especially small forwards who are physically strong. This seems to be the impression he gives to all the fans, but is that really the case? ”

Some experts asked this question, and then the next video is a different story.

After Sean was squeezed away, the offensive player rushed to the basket and was hatted by Howard. The moment the offensive player was hindered, Howard quickly established himself in the defensive position under the basket and successfully assisted the defense. Sean's short-term hindrance actually played a big role.

With this time, Howard can make positioning and defensive choices more calmly.

"Sean's defense may not be the best in the league, but as a point guard, Sean's defense is very, very good. It can be said that among the players who play pure point guard in the league now, only Jason Kidd can compare to Sean in defense. None of the others can compare, taking this year's star rookies as an example, Chris Paul, Deron Williams' misplaced defense is too embarrassing, as long as it is a misplaced player who can shoot, he can shoot casually in the face of them, but the shooting percentage is greatly reduced after encountering Sean. ”

The experts played the video of the game again and again, which proves this.

"Sean is not a very strong and all-round point guard like Jason Kidd, but in terms of point guards, Sean's defense is definitely very strong, and he can break out most of the point guards, and the impression of fans is actually incorrect."

TNT's experts finally said this.

"The Magic's poor record during this period of time is largely due to the lack of misplaced defense and co-defense ability of the backcourt players, which is what the Magic team lacks the most, and I think from now on, Sean Lee is the most suitable point guard for the Magic."

The expert finally made a summary, which made many fans suddenly realize.

While there are still many fans who scoff at this explanation, there are also many fans and experts who agree with this view. This view is not very convincing, because compared to Jason Kidd and LeBron's almost all-round defense, Sean's defense is indeed a bit weak.

Sean's defensive role is even more misplaced, defensive shooting, and help defense in place. As for the players with strong opposing strength, Sean mostly delayed a little and then put it in for Howard to solve.

In the midst of this frustrating situation, the away game ended and Sean returned to the team, and the next opponent was the relatively easy Bobcats.

At the beginning of this game, it was a one-sided game.

Shaun, who had been holding back for half a month, faced Raymond Felton and Brevenknight, completely crushed at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, and Sean scored 14 points and 4 assists in the first quarter, leading the team to an absolute advantage. Whether it's Raymond Felton or Breven Knight, Sean on the opposite side has been hit by the defense and his shooting percentage has dropped significantly. Even if he was misplaced to defend Gerard Wallace, Sean could interfere with the shot, and finally put it in after a delay and handed it to Howard to help defend.

In a normal game, Sean easily got 32 points, 12 assists, 3 rebounds and 2 steals and led the team to victory.

Howard had 21 points, 21 rebounds, 3 steals and 2 blocks, but the fly in the ointment was that he had 4 turnovers, and Howard's interior offense was ...... It's speechless. Stephenson scored 16 points, Darko 18 points, Pat 14 points, the Magic team could score all, and the defensive end was even more suppressed by the Bobcats, who won easily.

The big win at home gave the Magic a chance to breathe a sigh of relief.

This period of consecutive defeats has made the Magic's goal of rushing into the playoffs more and more slim, and the Eastern team has many weak chickens, and it is difficult to enter the playoffs, but this wave of consecutive defeats is a bit urgent.
