Chapter 276: LaVine vs. Taylor Johnson

Li Ming blocked Dragic and Whiteside's pick-and-roll combination, which can be regarded as a slap in the face, and let them be more vigilant, maybe the tricks they usually rely on to become famous will not be so useful today.

In fact, Li Ming still felt a little pity, because he was completely sure of stealing this ball, but because of that hesitation, he didn't make a steal.

After all, the steal was successful, fortunately, if the steal was not successful, it would be a complete disposition, and if it was possible to lose the position, it would be better not to take this risk.

The Bulls' defensive system is not sound, and many times the outside line has to rely on Li Ming to block, and if he distributes his defensive pressure to other teammates, then the Bulls' defense will collapse instantly. This is something Li Ming doesn't want to see, so in recent games, he has been more about making sure he doesn't lose his position than making tackles or blocks.

Dragic did not complete the block and break through this time, and he did not hesitate, he chose to give the ball to Tyler Johnson, Tyler Johnson is a two-way guard with strong athleticism and a high ceiling, and his mid-range shooting ability is very prominent, and his projection ability after dribbling is also very strong, although he has no organizational ability, but when the Heat team can't open the situation, Dragic often teaches him the ball first.

And he had a good chance to attack this time, because it was LaVine who defended him. This man is a player in the league who is known for his poor defense.

Taylor Johnson was obviously full of confidence in the face of LaVine, he did not continue to observe the movement of his teammates, and was obviously ready to play on his own.

LaVine kept his center of gravity very low, and he could see that Taylor Johnson was very confident in breaking through him.

This made him unhappy for a while, he had never encountered such an opponent after his defensive ability was enhanced, and he said: Since you are not afraid of death, then come on, I will make you lose face once!

LaVine now has the ability to say something like that, as his presence on the defensive end has been very evident in the last few games.

And the shooting percentage of the players opposite him is down a few percentage points compared to usual.

This shows that he is gradually becoming more and more dangerous on the defensive end!

The reason why Taylor Johnson still dares to face him may be because no one in the league is aware of this problem, and after most of the team's assistant coaches or head coaches or data analysts notice this problem, there are not so many people who dare to hit LaVine's idea!

However, it's just right now!

It just so happens that Taylor Johnson is underestimating LaVine and definitely not paying that attention on the offensive end.

It's not bad to let Raven pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger once!

LaVine is also very smart, deliberately making his expression look not so comfortable, as if he was afraid of defending the opposing player, and his action and this expression made Johnson, who was opposite him, look down on him more and more!

But that's what Ravan wants!

Tyler Johnson didn't shake LaVine off the side after a couple of simple cross-step dribbles and didn't make any more moves. Kill directly on Raven's weak side...

In his opinion, Raven's body looks so weak, as long as there is a slight physical contact, he will definitely be able to knock the latter away!

It's a pity that Lavin has been doing strength training with Li Ming these days. The physical condition has changed substantially, not to mention Tyler Johnson, even if James Harden comes to beat him, it will not be as easy as before.

After all, now Laven's deadlift up to 180kg can complete several in a row!

Taylor Johnson was careless in his heart, but LaVine had already gathered strength, the two collided, and the result was predictable, LaVine would definitely be able to hold Taylor Johnson's attack.

And the result was not surprising, the moment Taylor Johnson hit LaVine, he stumbled and almost fell to the ground, and then his face changed greatly, he obviously didn't expect the latter's core strength to be so strong!

LaVine was prepared, and not just in terms of accumulation. Rather, in the whole concentration, Taylor Johnson stumbled and barely dribbled the ball, and as soon as he saw this opportunity, he immediately rushed forward, his eyes were quick, and he reached out to slap the ball into his own hand.

The fast-break opportunity was formed instantly, and LaVine no longer hesitated to kill directly to the Heat's interior.

It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to perform, and two-time NBA All-Star Weekend dunk king LaVine officially started his own show, jumping straight from the free throw line... One-handed slam dunk success!

It's a pity that this is the home court of the Heat, and it is impossible for the audience here to cheer him on, no matter how beautiful he is, it is useless.

There was silence.

But Laven doesn't feel sorry either. He doesn't need the cheering of this group of fans, just hold it back!

Lao Tzu will continue to attack like this, until you can't help but sigh!

That's LaVine's idea, and it's clear that this successful defense against Tyler Johnson has made his self-confidence explode like never before, and he thinks that the Heat's point guard won't pose any more threat to him in this game...

But faith is a good thing, but sometimes arrogance is a bad thing.

In the next wave, he was caught off guard by the other party because he despised Tyler Johnson, and it is clear that Tyler Johnson and LaVine are players at the same level, and once one of these two people lets their guard down, it will immediately become the background board of the other person.

"I'll return one!" Lao Tzu has worked hard for so long to be on the same level as you? LaVine is clearly not a believer, and he is going to come with an attack and give Taylor Johnson a little color.

So he asked Li Ming for a ball. Li Ming saw that he was in such a good mood, and he was also very good in the defense just now, so he passed the ball directly to him.

LaVine faced Tyler Johnson, to be precise, this was the Bulls' first offense in this game, because LaVine just played a counterattack, so this ball was really served by Mirotic, and the Bulls attacked the front court for the first time in this game.

And Li Ming gave the ball to LaVine, obviously believing him, LaVine naturally knew that this ball could not be missed, and did not rush to attack, but patiently began to observe the defensive formation built by the Heat players.

When Li Ming taught him to defend, he also talked about some of the team's common defensive systems.

And informed him of some weaknesses in these defensive systems, because it is impossible to have a defensive lineup that is invincible, if that is the case, each team only needs to learn one defensive formation, where is there any trouble, precisely because every defensive formation has loopholes. That's why tactics are so abundant.
