Chapter 327: Meet in the Finals
There are many kinds of breakthrough movements, some rely on speed and explosiveness like Rose, Wall, and Wade, and there are also small and rapid changes of direction like Wade, but the core of these two breakthrough methods is speed.
But there are also players like Kobe Bryant and Pierce, when they get older, their speed and explosiveness are not as good as they were back then, especially against young defensive players, they can only rely on rhythm and skill to break through.
In other words, it is the way the old man breaks through, taking Pierce's action of breaking through James as an example, he first stepped to accelerate, tricked LeBron into moving the center, and then collected the ball and shook his shoulder, making LeBron think that he changed direction, but in fact he continued to break through.
This kind of action seems to be slow, but in fact, it makes the defenders forced to speed up, and finally use slow to achieve the goal of breaking through.
Of course, this kind of masterful breakthrough skill requires a good sense of ball control, and a rookie like Justin who can only rush may not be able to learn it for a while.
"I understand what you said, but it's a bit high, can I do it?" Justin will be skeptical.
"What are you afraid of, people must dream" Zhang Feng both encouraged and comforted.
Back on the court, Zhang Feng raised 3 fingers after half the court, and this demonstration was because there was an agreement within the Kings team that Zhang Feng's 1 finger was to play the No. 1 position tactic, and so on, 3 fingers was to play the No. 3 position tactic.
Seeing Zhang Feng's gesture, Bogdan immediately ran to the bottom left corner with Wade, and Willy also retreated to the right side of the court, leaving the entire left half of the court for Justin, while Randolph had to leave the basket so that Justin's layup after the breakthrough was not disturbed in any way.
LeBron laughed at the King's run, first Wade and Zhang Feng, and now it was his turn with Justin, who knew that every player on the court of the Cavaliers might have to play one-on-one with the Kings player.
However, Zhang Feng, who Wade opposed, is a player he is very optimistic about, Zhang Feng can win Wade in heads-up, he is not surprised at all, after all, he himself can not defend against Zhang Feng in every round.
But Justin is different, Justin is just a No. 15 rookie, he doesn't look down on Justin, but the gap between the two is too big, he doesn't know where Zhang Feng got the courage to decide to play such a tactic.
However, there are no weak teams in the NBA, there are no weak chickens in the NBA, and no matter how weak Justin is, he also bends over and squats to go all out.
After Justin got the ball, he was both a little excited and a little apprehensive, although he had broken through LeBron a few times before, but it was all because Zhang Feng attracted attention first, and this time it was his turn to go alone, and his feet were shaking.
Shaking and shaking, the action was correct, he took a small step with his right foot to probe, and LeBron did not move.
Grass, this is different from what Zhang Feng said, why didn't LeBron move his center of gravity?
Zhang Feng watched and laughed from the sidelines, he knew that Justin's breakthrough had failed, but since it was to train Justin to play singles, he had to train to the end, even if he couldn't score, he would only watch from the sidelines.
Overwhelmed, Justin decided to change his ways, and he rushed straight to the inside, but he only rushed to the free throw line when he felt the tremendous power coming from LeBron's hands.
There was no way forward, no change of direction left and right, and there was a lack of timing for retreat, and Justin was stunned on the spot.
"Vote, even if you vote, if you can't vote, I'll snatch it back for you," Zhang Feng reminded.
With Zhang Feng's guarantee, Justin was determined, but he just wanted to collect the ball, but his hand felt empty, and when he looked down, he sent the ball and ran into LeBron's hand.
Justin was embarrassed and wanted to grab back, but LeBron had jumped 2 meters away, and he could only stay where he was and sigh.
Fortunately, Zhang Feng rushed forward at the same time as LeBron in the King's Arena, although LeBron's fast break is a must in the league, but Zhang Feng's defense has terrified the 27 teams that the Kings have played.
LeBron's fast break is strong in fast speed and strength, and if you want to defend, you have to weigh whether it is enough to hit it first, while Zhang Feng's fast break is the fastest in the speed league, the strongest skill, and the highest continuity.
The two reached the three-point line with their front and back feet, LeBron glanced at Zhang Feng slightly, he knew that the pull-up jump shot was too windy, and he continued to march to the basket.
Seeing that LeBron was going to go to the basket, Zhang Feng directly puffed up his muscles and the soles of his feet to store strength, and he thought that even if he couldn't block it, he should interfere with LeBron's ball.
Perhaps with a natural offensive sense, LeBron seems to realize that Zhang Feng is ruthless. Speaking of ruthlessness, there is no one in the league today who can compare to LeBron, he decisively gave up the plan to go to the basket, squeezed the ball tightly in his hand, and must dunk one.
The two of them made up their minds in the blink of an eye, and soon, the two rushed into the paint area.
"Bah", LeBron roared and jumped high, and at the same time, Zhang Feng also rose in pain, and the two collided together in an instant.
LeBron jumped first than Zhang Fenggao, but Zhang Feng bounced faster, and the two were on the same level after jumping into the air, but LeBron had longer arms, and Zhang Feng failed to interfere with his ball.
However, Zhang Feng did not suffer from the collision of muscles, and LeBron's right hand moved obviously. The basketball failed to dunk in, slammed into the hoop, and bounced straight to the backcourt.
Although the ball bounced out, the players of both teams did not move for the first time, and the Cavaliers players did not move because they were stunned when they saw someone who could prevent LeBron's dunk for the first time; The Kings players didn't move because they were stunned when they saw someone in the air for the first time who could squeeze Zhang Feng out of the air.
When the players of the two teams reversed, the ball was about to roll off the court, Justin immediately pounced on the ground to grab the ball, Wade also joined the game, and soon, the sideline was in chaos.
"Beep", the basketball rolls out of the court, the referee blew the whistle in time, needless to say, you have to watch the replay to judge that the ball belongs to that side.
When the referee watched the replay, the players on the field of both teams were idle, because the scores of the two teams were not opened, and David and Tyronn Lue did not talk about tactics and the need to arrange substitutions.
At this moment, LeBron pulled up his jersey to cover his mouth, and whispered to Zhang Feng next to him:
"Old, old, no one has ever been able to prevent my fast-break dunk before, and it's up to you, a young man, in the future"
"Haha, don't lie to me, you are averaging 27.8 points per game this season, and you are really old like Carter" Zhang Feng also pulled up his jersey and responded in a low voice.
"But you're averaging 33 points per game, three more than I averaged when I won the scoring title in '08, so don't laugh at me," LeBron said with some sadness.
"Don't say that, you still have a chance to enter the finals and compete for the championship this season, I'm far from you", Zhang Feng is not a compliment, he really thinks that LeBron has reached the finals for 7 consecutive years is very remarkable.
"It's like you don't have a chance to make it to the finals," LeBron shook his head.
"Maybe, the road is difficult," Zhang Feng sighed slightly.
"What are you afraid of, people must have dreams, I can pass the Pistons and reach the finals in 07, you are much better than I was now, and you also have a chance", LeBron knew that Zhang Feng said 'difficult' referring to the Golden State Warriors.
Unexpectedly, he just used this sentence to encourage Justin, and when he turned his head and heard it here from LeBron, Zhang Feng suddenly felt full of strength, and he said proudly:
"Okay, let's meet in the finals"
"Okay, meet in the finals"
