Chapter 20: Resolute Your Sister!
Offense and defense were shifted, Zhang Zifeng's shot was off the basket, but the rebound was grabbed by Ibaka.
On the second offense, Ibaka sends the ball to the basket under the basket.
When it was the Cavaliers' turn to attack, when the basketball was passed to James.
Grant was in front, and Zhang Zifeng rushed over at any time on the side to make up for the defense, blocking the path that James turned to cut into.
Ibaka is waiting in the box.
This is Brett. Coach Brown came up with a triple defense based on the Spurs' strategy against James back then!
It is necessary to completely seal James.
As soon as James shook off Grant, Zhang Zifeng rushed over quickly, and at this time Ibaka also moved his feet, blocking the way for James to hit the basket.
Seeing the moment Ibaka and Zhang Zifeng blocked, James knew that he couldn't shoot.
James sends the ball to Irving on the perimeter.
As soon as Owen received the ball, Rondo came up and stuck to him, and a hand quickly pulled towards the basketball in Owen's hand.
"This guy!"
The moment the basketball was snatched away, Owen hurriedly turned around to protect the ball, but this also scared him into a cold sweat.
Under Rondo's watch, Owen couldn't get rid of several feints.
Seeing that the 24-second offensive time was approaching, Irving had no choice but to pass the ball to Smith.
didn't come out for the first time, and at this time Zhang Zifeng was already in place.
Even if there is no good opportunity, at this time, Smith can only rush to shoot.
A stop, Smith throws a head.
But this reluctant shot was directly a three-way no-stick and flew out of bounds.
"Good, well done!"
Seeing that he didn't enter, Rondo went over to high-five Zhang Zifeng to celebrate.
The 76ers insisted on using triple defense to completely block James, as long as the ball was passed to James, there were immediately three people standing in the front, center and back, and James would never have an easy chance to score.
Although theoretically, at this time, as long as James passes the ball, other players can easily score.
The 76 team dared to do this because they were sure that they could stop the Cavaliers' goal.
Irving was targeted by Rondo, and Love was underrepresented by Embiid's defense.
Thompson's offensive means are single, only scoring under the basket. Relying on Ibaka's flexible movement can completely limit his attack.
While Smith was good offensively, he was inconsistent offensively.
As long as James passes the ball to him, Zhang Zifeng will rush back as soon as possible.
As long as he can interfere with Smith, his shooting percentage will drop significantly.
So far, the rest of the Cavaliers have combined for less than half as many points as James.
The Cavaliers are James' one-man team!
That's the biggest problem with the Cavaliers, or James' team.
James has his own system, whether it is the Cavaliers or the Heat, they will intentionally or unintentionally look for players who can match James.
But that creates a problem, which is that the system that suits James doesn't necessarily work for other players.
In the past, when James was young, it was okay, and it was not a big problem to play the whole game.
But as he gets older, James is no longer the little emperor who can run all over the field.
When James is not in good shape, or when James is off the court, the team has no tactical system, and it becomes a scattered mess, fighting on its own.
Of course, if a famous coach can design a tactical system based on existing players that can work comfortably in James's absence, then the Cavaliers will naturally be like a tiger.
But are knights famous?
Tyron. Lou!
Last season, the Cavaliers were able to win the championship, and who would think that this was Tarron. Credit to Lou.
Basically everyone felt that it was a credit to James.
Tyron. Lou? That's a puppet.
Tyron. When Lue accepted the Cavaliers, he didn't have any experience as a head coach at all.
A completely rookie coach can actually coach a team that has the quality to win the championship.
Why?
It's simple, it's cheap!
Celebrities don't come cheap.
Originally, the Cavaliers' salaries were so high that they had to pay the luxury tax. If you go to invite a famous marshal again, you can't afford it.
Lao Tzu is not a serious fan, he can throw a lot of money for a championship.
Lao Tzu is a businessman. Businessman, you know!
This kind of thing that is not proportional to the payout, Lao Tzu will not do it!
Anyway, with James, the team can reach the Eastern Conference finals, or at least the playoffs, so why spend a lot of money to hire a famous coach.
Besides, can the famous coach get along with James!
Is James willing to listen to the commands of famous marshals? The famous coach is willing to coach James, you have the credit, is there a black pot and I carry this kind of player?
Because of these reasons, James has not played under a famous coach until now.
James' all-round season has been like this Tarron. Rookie coaches like Lue and Erics Polstra, who have just coached and lack prestige, can willingly carry all the black pots on their backs and serve James' coach.
James was restrained by the 76ers' triple defense, layer upon layer.
No manager can design a tactical system based on existing players that can work smoothly in James' absence. The rest of the Cavaliers couldn't step up and help James at this time.
The Cavaliers' offense was in trouble.
The ball was passed, but the Cavaliers couldn't take advantage of the offense.
On two occasions in a row, the Cavaliers rushed to the end of time, and the third time it was simply James' pass that was directly tackled by Rondo and launched a counterattack.
Outside the three-point line, Zhang Zifeng raised his hand to send the basketball to the three-point line, and now the difference has become 12 points!
It can be seen that the situation of the Cavaliers is quite bad.
After the 76ers restricted James, the Cavaliers have been disrupted, and if they can't change something, the whole situation will be out of control.
"The Cavaliers should call a timeout at this time and adjust their tactics!" Mike. Brin said.
Jeff. Van Gundy explained: "The current situation is not something that can be changed by tactical adjustments, the opportunity has come out, but the Cavaliers have not been able to put the ball in the basket. ”
Mark. Jackson shook his head and said, "The Cavaliers rely too much on James, if Irving and Love can stand up, the Cavaliers' offense won't be stagnant like this!" ”
Mike. "It doesn't matter if it's the Cavaliers or the Heat, as long as James is restricted, his team won't play!" ”
"If the Cavaliers can't solve this problem yet, the Cavaliers are not far from defeat in this game!"
The Cavaliers' offense was once again in vain, and the 76ers quickly countered to get the shot.
Seeing that the score was still growing, James couldn't help but yell at Owen: "Play resolutely, you will attack when you have the opportunity!" ”
Hearing James yelling at him, Owen's eyes flashed with anger.
Bastard!
Lao Tzu takes the ball to the front court, and he has to think about passing the ball to you as soon as possible, even if there are good opportunities, they are wasted.
Now that you are restrained, you throw the ball to Lao Tzu and let Lao Tzu hit the ground firmly.
Resolute your sister!
Owen held back his anger and dribbled the ball to the front court without saying a word.
