Chapter 148 Double S-Class Mission

In the battle between the Timberwolves and the Cleveland Cavaliers, the biggest pressure was not Li Shihao, but Corey Brewer, who has been low-key and silent in the team.

Now that the league seems to have shifted from the age of quarterbacks to the era of small forwards, the future basketball blueprint predicted by Heat President Pat Riley seems to be coming true, with Paul Pierce, LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony, Andre Iguodala, Rudy Gay, Kevin Durant, and more and more outstanding small forwards active on the world stage and making their debuts.

In contrast, the pressure on Cory Brewer is really high.

After all, the Timberwolves will have a strong team on the guard line this season, Durant of the Russian City Thunder, Ginobili of the Spurs, and Odom of the Los Angeles Lakers.

Cory Breuer's physicality is indeed excellent, allowing him to swing easily on the front line and not stick to a fixed position, but the weakness of the offensive means allows him to work frantically on the defensive end and play a restrictive defense that deserves to be recognized, otherwise, what awaits him is a gloomy bench career.

Cory Brewer's stats have risen a lot this season, and having an excellent point guard like Li Shihao as the team leader has undoubtedly improved the team a lot.

Brewer knows very well that he only averaged 6.2 points per game last season, and this season has increased sharply to an average of 14.4 points per game.

No matter how tempting the sugar-coated shells of the outside world are, Cory Brewer is always very clear in his heart and always maintains a sober self-knowledge.

The gap between him and Andrea Iguodala is still huge. At least Andre Iguodala is much better than him, and Iguodala can carry the Philadelphia 76ers offensive and defensive banner alone after Iverson's departure, which is enough to prove Iguodala's potential and strength, at least Cory Brewer asked himself that he would never be able to do it.

The NBA is the highest temple of basketball in the world, and most people can't deny it, and being able to enter this arena is enough to prove the quality of the players. Not to mention the strongmen who are swallowing clouds and fog in this alliance, they all have their own skills to a greater or lesser extent.

And LeBron James is the most representative figure in the league's small forward position, at least in recent years, the dominance of the little emperor has skyrocketed, and there is gradually a trend of winning the East, often showing a shot of one person leading the whole team forward.

And now there is a very serious question in front of Cory Brewer, how he will limit LeBron James's play in the game.

There is no doubt that the Cleveland Cavaliers were the "little emperor" LeBron James when they were a one-man team, and when LeBron James didn't play well. The Cleveland Cavaliers' odds of losing will be high, and once LeBron James is allowed to play, then facing the 29 teams in the league will face a very realistic result - losing, which has a probability of up to 80%, a statistic that has been tested in dozens of regular season games this season, without a doubt.

Unless, of course, you're a San Antonio Spurs. You can trap LeBron James in your bucket with great offensive and defensive rotations, even if LeBron hits well. But the Spurs relied on strong tactical coordination to easily cut off the connection between LeBron James and his teammates, and finally caused the victory of the big demon Spurs.

But in fact, there are not many teams in the league that can achieve such high tactical execution as the Spurs, and even if they do, they will not be as comprehensive as the Spurs, and every offensive and defensive detail is meticulously executed. It's like a craft.

For Cory Brewer, in the face of the Cleveland Cavaliers, there will be no excellent teammates to help him limit LeBron James' performance, at most Li Shihao will help him with it, but Li Shihao shoulders the important task of organizing the whole team. Obviously, it is impossible to keep an eye on Brewer's side at all times, and due to the difference in physical fitness, Li Shihao is not able to help Corey Brewer much in restricting LeBron James.

How to limit LeBron James?

This problem has been plaguing the 29 teams in the league for a long time, in recent seasons, the little emperor has evolved faster and faster, and there is more and more invincible trend in the No. 3 position, and there are Pistons, Wizards, and Celtics to limit him in the early stage, but now the Celtics' decline is gradually revealed, and the aging Green Shirts can stop the "little emperor" James for a few more years?

Unsolvable breakthrough layups, a good sense of the big picture, excellent team awareness, and perverted physical fitness, these all constitute the capital of LeBron James to reach the top and dominate the NBA stage.

In the face of LeBron James, either you don't want to find a way to limit him, or you can compete in the team's superstar showdown, the number of wins and losses is all about which superstar plays better!

The latter option was possible in the first two seasons, but how many teams were able to do it this year?

The Los Angeles Lakers' No. 24 Kobe Bryant can still stage a 30+ scoring feast, such scoring data is as easy as a routine for him, but for today's Kobe, this year's Cleveland Cavaliers are not easy to deal with, the Lakers have fought with the Cleveland Cavaliers twice during the regular season, one win and one loss, and a fifty percent winning rate.

Now the east and west are the situation where James and Kobe are ruled separately, and it is impossible for Kobe to beat LeBron James as easily as before, especially this season with the big shark O'Neal as a helper, James has completely led the Cavaliers to launch the road to the championship!

The Forest is even the defending champion Los Angeles Lakers, not to mention the Timberwolves who are still struggling for the playoffs, although Li Shihao has shown a strong ability to lead the team this season, but there is still a big distance compared with LeBron James, and if you want to rely on the battle between stars, the Timberwolves will have no chance of winning.

The only thing that can be done is to limit LeBron James's play, and Brewer sadly found that he can only learn from the Philadelphia 76ers' approach, like Andre Iguodala, to take on the heavy responsibility of limiting James alone, this task is no less difficult than Dong Cunrui's double S level of bombing the bunker.
