Chapter 9: No Defense?

This season's Cavaliers are completely a team that focuses on attacking the interior and breaking through, the offensive ability of the interior players can be said to be very weak, and they can't pose a threat to the opponent at all, but Asik's defense can bring a little bit of defensive pressure to the opponent, as for counting on Asik's offense, it's a dream.

The Lakers' interior combination can be said to be the strongest interior combination in the league, the average team has only one strong interior line, while the Lakers have two, of which Gasol can also pass the ball and shoot, while Bynum is hand-to-hand on the inside, it can be said that the Lakers' interior partner is very perfect.

If you insist on finding a combination comparable to the Lakers on the inside, then only the Portland Trail Blazers in the West, but the biggest threat to their interior is their health problems, Oden's physical condition is very worrying, and Adridge is still growing, if both are healthy, then the Trail Blazers' interior can still compete with the Lakers' interior.

Zeng Yu controlled the ball, and in the half, he came to Bynum to block and dismantle, and then passed the ball out, not to Bynum, who had just completed the blocking and dismantling with him, but to Gasol, and Gasol, who received the ball, did not let the ball in his hand stay in his hand longer, and directly passed the ball to Bynum, who had just been inserted from the outside.

"It's a very beautiful pass inside the pass, Gasol deserves to be Gasol," Barkley on the commentary stand immediately complimented.

And it all happened very quickly. Bynum, who received the ball, was a two-handed dunk, and there was absolutely no way to prevent the ball, because Bynum's pass was so surprising that when Gasol received a pass from Zeng, Asik and Battier, who had just been moved to the power forward position, immediately sandwiched it.

It's just that Gasol's pass is too timely, and in terms of timing, he is no worse than the average point guard, which makes many big men who are opposite him very helpless, and when Bynum receives the ball, the offensive choice only needs to be a homeopathic dunk, and there is no one to defend the dunk at all, and this cooperation is very fast.

In addition to the fact that it took the Lakers about four or five seconds to dribble to the halfcourt, this offense only took four seconds, or even barely four seconds, otherwise it would not even take four seconds.

"It seems that the Lakers have returned to normal, from the cooperation just now, it's okay, don't make the game difficult to see, if the visual feast becomes a game with garbage time, then it is not a visual feast," Smith said after watching the Lakers' offensive coordination just now.

The ball came to the Cavaliers. Huang Jun, who received the ball, quickly advanced to the halfcourt, passed the ball to James's hand in time as soon as the half court arrived, and then ran directly, hoping to run out of a vacant position, but Zeng Yu is not an old fish, his feet are also very flexible, and the speed can also be said to be very fast, so Huang Jun has never been able to get rid of Zeng Yu's defense.

This game has been played so far, James and Kobe have not really been in position, which is really a pity for many fans, but they also know that James and Kobe are not in the same position, so it is understandable that they have not been able to play against each other.

Ariza's performance in defending James in this game can't be said to be bad, but it can't be said to be good, because he let James score 21, 21 points on his head in the half, dare to say that his defense is good?

I can't say it's bad, that's because Ariza can say that every defense is very good, without any negative performance, and he also successfully steals James twice and covers James one on the defensive end, so it can't be said bad.

James faced Ariza's defense, looked at the other party and said, "Very good, your defense, very optimistic about you, but if you want to defend against me, at least for now, it is impossible, as for whether you can do it in the future, it depends on your own efforts"

"Hehe, I believe that I will defend you one day, my goal is not to be a scorer, but to guard against the player who scores the most and scores the most" Ariza watched James return firmly.

"Hehe, the ambition is not small, but it all depends on your own efforts, train with the boss of your team, learn from him, your progress will be very great, if one day you don't want to be in the Lakers anymore, our Cavaliers welcome you, how about interest?" James then laughed, as if he didn't care about the offensive time of the game passing little by little, and this began to solicit?

"Hehe, yes, I appreciate your kindness, I guess I'm just a substitute for your team, is it your substitute or Battier's substitute?" Ariza looked at the timer and said, "There's not a lot of time to attack, I don't think you're going to let it go to zero, are you?" ”

James no longer spoke, but took a deep look, the words he had just said to solicit Ariza were definitely not casually said, but only after seeing the other party's performance. He is really optimistic about Ariza, but how high his achievements are depends on his talent and hard work, and he belongs to the latter.

James naturally knew that the time was almost up, and then started directly without any hesitation, and continued to swing, but Ariza still has a hand in defense, although he is still very young, but in defense he is like a very experienced veteran so sophisticated, not at all like a newcomer who does not know what to do.

James said in his heart, "I want to see how far you can prevent me from falling, whether it makes it difficult for me to move an inch, or it is uncomfortable to shoot" At this time, the time is only five seconds, if you don't hurry up the time to shoot, then you will be prevented by the opponent for a twenty-four second violation.

However, there was no impatient look on James's face, as if the time at this time was not five seconds but fifteen seconds, which made the other party's Ariza very puzzled, did he look at the time, didn't he know that the game was only five seconds, why wasn't he in a hurry to attack, and was still playing games with me?

James is naturally not in a hurry, let alone playing with the other party, he is just waiting, waiting for an opportunity. But what opportunity is he waiting for? Even if you wait for the opportunity, is five seconds enough?

Suddenly, James saw a figure recruiting him, and finally showed a smile on his face, and Ariza, who had been paying attention to James, naturally saw it, and a big question mark hung on his head, very puzzled.

Seeing this, James didn't hesitate at all, and passed the ball directly, and when the ball went out, the time was only three seconds, and when it came to the opponent's hand, the opponent had to shoot immediately, otherwise it would also be a twenty-four second violation.

"Barkley, you said James was stupid, wasting twenty seconds and then choosing to pass the ball in the last minute, and the target was Szebiak, who had just come on the court, instead of Huang Jun, it's incredible," Smith said.

James's purpose is indeed what Smith said about Szzebiak, and Szzebiak, who received the ball, was already vacant at this time, but the time was very small, and he had to shoot immediately after receiving the ball.

Sure enough, Szebiak, who received the ball, immediately threw the ball out, brushed, and the basketball was hollow into the net, and the three points thrown at the last moment turned out to be a hollow.

The Lakers' players are still very sorry, defending for 23 seconds, but ruining it in the last second, anyone will regret it.

Subsequently, the Lakers played with Kobe Bryant and Gasol, and the Lakers recovered the score little by little, but they never succeeded in overtaking the score.

By the end of the third quarter, the Lakers were still behind the Cavaliers in the score, 90-88, and the Lakers trailed the Cavaliers at home, entering the final quarter with a two-point difference, the fourth quarter.

"This Cavaliers are quite strange, they have played so many games, and they have averaged more than 105 points per game, while they have scored more than 112 points on offense" Smith looked at the score, and then said, "I won the first place in the league with such a poor defense, and won the league's leading scoring team with a relatively weak interior line, he averaged the most points per game, and averaged the most points per game, where did the Cavaliers' defense go last season, how did it join in the case of defensive players such as Huang Jun and Asik, Instead, it has become defenseless? ”

Smith is really puzzled by this, very puzzled, in his consciousness, it is completely defensive to win the world, and then the Cavaliers are currently the opposite of what he knows, using offense to fight the world, but the Cavaliers' offense is very efficient.

"What are you doing with other people, people are confident in their offensive firepower, and the ultimate goal of basketball is not to score goals? As long as you can keep scoring goals, that's the best defense, attacking instead of defending, I don't know if you've heard of it? Barkley was a little worried, but he still said so.

was said by Barkley, Smith didn't know what to say, so he simply stopped talking, what should the Cavaliers do with him like this, he is not the coach of this team or something, what is he doing blindly.

In fact, it's not that the Cavaliers don't play defense or don't defend or anything, but they are still training defense, Huang Jun's defense can be said to be very irregular, it may be enough in college, but it is far from enough here, and the team has been training Huang Jun's defense in recent months.

On top of that, the Cavaliers are also working on new defensive tactics, and the real core of that lineup is Asik replacing Ilgoska. This new set of defensive tactics has also begun to be trained, but the team is not really in the game yet, and according to their plan, they will only be able to use this defensive lineup after the All-Star level.

Of course, Asik is constantly working on his defensive ability, whether it is training or playing, he is constantly improving his defensive skills and experience.

Therefore, the Cavaliers play simple defensive tactics, which is equivalent to no defense in the eyes of others.
