90. Evenly matched

Currently eighth in the East with the same record as the Nets, the Cavaliers are undoubtedly a surprise this year. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Look at the teammates around James, the best is the veteran of the 96 golden generation Zaydelunas Ilgauskas, the name of the Lithuanian is too difficult to pronounce, plus he is the former NBA No. 1 height, he was surpassed by Yao Ming in the first two years, and people nicknamed him Big Z.

James' best teammate is him, barely an All-Star caliber center.

Well, from the new century until the advent of James, the Cavaliers led by Big Z were at the bottom of the league every year, and it was difficult to find a win in the weak East, which shows how bad the Cavaliers' lineup is except for Big Z.

So you can see how hard it is for James to bring this team to the playoff level!

Compared with the lineup, if Ye Han and James are removed, the Bobcats are stronger than the Cavaliers! It's an incredible thing.

Aside from James and Big Z, the Cavaliers' best players are point guard Eric Snow, a veteran of the 76ers' pass to Iverson last season, and third-year player Drew Gooden, who was the No. 4 pick in 2002 who played well with the Magic last season and was given up by the Magic in order to make room for Howard. The Cavaliers were expecting the trio of James, Boozer, and Big Z to fight hard this year, introducing many veterans and young players, but Boozer put the Cavaliers together for more money, as the most critical interior core, Boozer's departure was a huge blow to the Cavaliers.

That's when James stepped up, jumping straight from point guard to small forward, and occasionally even going hand-to-hand with the inside.

Who knew it would work amazingly! James not only took on the scoring burden after Boozer's departure, but also grabbed the rebounding team, becoming the top player in the league in his second year, second only to those superstars, and the team also exceeded expectations and was in the playoffs.

Soon the game began.

The Cavaliers' backcourt is really miserable, with veteran Snow and third-year player Dajuan Wagner, and the frontcourt looks pretty good, James, Gooden, Big Z.

The Bobcat is still the same old thing.

Jump ball in the middle circle.

Okafor's big two-meter-two-one size made Okafor feel a lot of pressure, but he was too tall to move and bounce, and Okafor won the jump ball with a one-handed advantage.

Brevine Knight got the ball, James and Gooden on the opposite side quickly retreated, Ye Han and Blevin Knight were surprised, few teams will start so actively retreat, obviously ready to jump ball failure.

The opening quickly advanced to the front court, glanced at the coach on the sidelines, Blevin Knight slapped the ball hard, and handed the ball to Ye Han at the top arc as usual.

Seeing Ye Han get the ball, Capono ran to the bottom corner, and his score skyrocketed after he became a starter, averaging a career high of 13.5 points per game, and he was able to score so many points because of the large number of vacant positions, and the shooting rate of receiving the ball was very high. And most of Capono's open shots are obtained when Ye Han is holding the ball, and Blevin Knight, who is an open position, rarely passes the ball to him.

It was James who defended Ye Han!

The first alignment of the two!

Ye Han tentatively confronted James, and the opponent's strength was no worse than him!

For the first time, Ye Han encountered an outside line who could compete with him in strength!

However, James's defensive skills are really poor, he had no defensive tasks at all in high school, he can win any play, and he is mainly responsible for offense in his rookie season, and defense is not his business, and his current defense relies more on instinct.

In a word, James' defense is really bad! It's not much different from an ordinary jumping man, he flies in a flash, not to mention Ye Han, who still uses shooting as his main means of scoring, and a little James is shaken away.

Ye Han used his more and more decent breakthrough to enter the inner line, and there was no one to help defend him! Ye Han hit an easy stop jump shot at the free throw line!

The defense sucks!

Ye Han is very uncomfortable with the team in the Eastern Conference playoffs, and it has such a bad defense.

In fact, this is really not to blame the Cavaliers of these players, they have been a defense-oriented team before 03, and at the end of the last century, they also broke wrists with the Bulls, Knicks and other strong teams, but after the new century they really can't find good defensive players, the big Z basket under the frame is OK, but his movement speed is very slow, without a strong forward with excellent defense, he has little role on the defensive end, the first two years he and Boozer formed an interior line that everyone loves, and every team likes to meet them.

Therefore, the Cavaliers owner learned from the pain, and after selecting James in '03, he found the main offensive coach Paul Silas, who was the head coach when the Hornets were in hot hands in Charlotte a few years ago.

Speaking of this Silas coach, what a surprise, he started as a player and even made the best defensive team, averaging 9.9 rebounds per game in his 16-year career, almost double-double! You must know that he averaged only 9.4 points per game, and ranked 16th in NBA history in career rebounds.

Who knew that after he became the head coach, his style changed abruptly, similar to the mad scientist old Nelson of the Suns D'Antoni and the Mavericks, defending or something depends on luck, offense-oriented, as if he wants to control the players in the coach's bench, so that these disciples with excellent offensive talent can help him complete the offensive dream that he can't regret not finishing?

That's it, Silas's coaching career has been very successful, building the Hornets into a strong team, and coaching James very well after coming to the Cavaliers, showing James' good qualities very well.

To be honest, James' offensive skills are really poor, and the offensive means are very simple, if you change coaches, it is estimated that it will be difficult for him to get so many opportunities in his rookie year, if he meets Larry Brown...... Just look at James' top pick in the same class, Mirisic is now in the Pistons.

It was the Cavaliers' turn to attack, and James was in possession.

James doesn't mention anything else, this ball control is really good! Ye Han's lame dribble was really embarrassing in front of James.

James's offense is just one way, a strong inside!

As soon as James made a breakthrough move, the audience immediately burst into cheers, they have never had such a talented talent!

Tank-style breakthrough, James's incomparably strong body, the strength that few people can match, makes it difficult for anyone to defend when he breaks through, and those top defensive players have no way to fight head-on, and can only use methods such as unloading or small actions to block, such as the Spurs, the Pistons, and only the Pacers...... The Artest era of the Artest Pacers can lock James head-on, and more teams are opting for the bag.

Now there is another one who, like the Pacers, chooses to use the best defensive players to resist James' breakthrough, Ye Han and James collide together, and each takes a step back!

Neck and neck!
