Chapter 26: Breaking Through Prehistoric Limits (Part 2)

Looking back, Arenas scored another three-point bukkake to Damon Jones. Damon Jones's face has changed, being bukkake three times in a row, and even the best temper Damon Jones is about to explode.

And Mike Brown, who was on the sidelines, finally did what he should do as a head coach, and seeing that Damon Jones had no way to defend Arenas, he immediately stood up and called a timeout.

Arenas hit a three-pointer in quick succession, opening up the score and making Mike Brown feel dangerous. At the timeout, he immediately had to adjust his defense.

Although the vast majority of people think that Mike Brown is good for nothing, he only sits in the position of head coach of the Cavaliers with the support of James. This...... It's really true.

But Mike Brown still has some ability, he has a special skill in setting up defensive tactics and defensive drills, and the Cavaliers are constantly strengthening their defense under his tutelage. He inherited Popovich's defensive philosophy, but unfortunately he failed to learn Popovich's tactical adaptation, he is good at defensive layout, but not good at offensive tactics, plus James is too strong in offense, so he simply chose to hand over all the offense to James to deal with.

He is only responsible for the team's defensive tactics, and as for the offense, he can only rely on James' individual play. It's quite similar to Tom Thibodeau, who just moved to the Boston Celtics as an assistant coach this year, and he can't reach the height of Tom Thibodeau, who can play defense to the limit.

In fact, the most suitable position for him should be the assistant coach who is responsible for defense......

As soon as the player came off the court, Mike Brown replaced Damon Jones, which was not originally a controversial substitution, after all, Damon Jones was completely unable to stop Arenas from scoring points.

Daniel Gibson?

Eun's offense is okay, but the most important thing now is to defend, and his defense is obviously not good.

Devin Brown?

Not to mention it, if you move too slowly, you will be burst into a sieve by Arenas.

Come to think of it, the most suitable to defend Arenas is actually Shannon Brown. With a strong physique, surprisingly long arms, unusually large palms, incredible bounce, brutal upper body strength, and excellent speed and agility, he has the potential to become one of the league's top perimeter defenders.

But with Shannon Brown going to defend Arenas, Mike Brown was a little worried.

This guy is in a hurry.

In short, he has the physicality to be a top defender, but not the IQ to be a top defender. Otherwise, the two who entered the league in the same year are equally energetic, and it is almost difficult to match the physical quality in their own position, why is LeBron James gradually becoming a superstar now, while Shannon Brown has been reduced to a mediocre substitute, and it is even difficult to find a chance to play?

Technical aspects aside, IQ is the most critical reason.

After some hesitation, Mike Brown finally chose to believe in this second-year student with the same surname as himself, and after some instruction, he replaced Damon Jones with him.

James hesitated for a moment, but finally said nothing. In fact, in James's view, the best option now is for Larry Hughes to defend Arenas, as the former steal king, he should still be able to cause a little trouble for Arenas defensively.

Instead of just swapping Damon Jones for it. Not to mention that this will dampen Jones's enthusiasm, and the substitution adjustment may not be effective.

After a moment's hesitation, though, James didn't say anything in the end. He also has to take into account the authority of the head coach to some extent, and the more mature James does not want to be criticized by the media as an empty head coach, which is not a good reputation. And Mike has always taken what he wanted, and the two were quite happy to cooperate, and he had no idea of changing the head coach.

And just like that, with the manager's expectations, Shannon Brown came on.

As soon as he got on the field, Arenas taught the nervous sophomore a good lesson. On the first offense, Arenas stole Shannon Brown's pass, broke through the box and scored a layup, and then singled Shannon Brown with the ball at the three-point line.

Shannon Brown swayed from side to side with Arenas, his excellent physicality allowed him to barely keep up with Arenas, but his poor ball intelligence prevented him from choosing the right way to handle it.

A touch of contempt appeared on Arenas's face, and he took a step forward and pretended to break through, which made Shannon Brown confused, and hurriedly retreated, only to find that Arenas did not break through at all, but jumped from the three-point line, another hollow three-pointer.

The timeout failed to interrupt Arenas' hot hand. He's such a guy, once his hands are warm, it's easy to cut fifty points.

In just two minutes, Arenas hit consecutive shots and has scored 14 points, because of Arenas's fiery play, the Wizards directly played a 14:5 scoring Xiao Gao Chao, reversing the decline in the score in one fell swoop, and the score on the court at this moment is 31:25, surpassing the 6-point difference.

Mike Brown slapped his bare head, and remembered to call another timeout, but James didn't give him such a chance, keenly noticed that the Wizards' retreat was a little slow, James immediately launched a fast attack, all the way to the Wizards' inside, at this time Jamison was able to return to the inside to set up defense, before he could react, James had already jumped up and dunked the basketball into the basket across Jamison!

Poor Jamison, at the All-Star level, his performance today is very bad, and he is enthusiastic about public welfare as a background board, which has achieved James's magnificent separation!

The Quickloan Arena was rekindled by this magnificent dunk, and the morale that had just been depressed by Arenas' back-to-back three-pointers seemed to be gone.

But that's not going to work!

Zhang Kong frowned, no matter how good-looking the deduction is, it is two points. Arenas's quick knife is three points in one slash.

Back in the backcourt, Zhang Kong called Shannon Brown: "Shannon, when you defend Arenas later, you can't shoot or break through, force him up as much as possible for physical confrontation, force him inside as much as possible, and let me deal with Ilgoskas to deal with him." ”

At this time, Shannon Brown had already been made a little psychologically shadowed by Arenas, and when he heard Zhang Kong say that he was going to take over the responsibility of dealing with Arenas, he nodded as if he had grasped the last straw.

Arenas held the ball and attacked again, and was about to repeat the old trick, but found that Shannon Brown pressed directly up, clinging to Arenas, and a pair of extremely long big hands waved up and down, as if ready to grab a handful on Arenas's body at any time.

Arenas' physical fitness is good, but it's only good, and his physical fitness in the NBA is only mid-to-upper, not comparable to Shannon Brown's beast level, and Byron Davis's O'Neal-type point guard. Shannon Brown's physical confrontation, which was not afraid of fouls, made Arenas a little panicked for a while.

Shannon Brown's sudden fierce physical confrontation made Arenas uncomfortable for a while, and was almost cut off by Shannon Brown, and finally had no choice but to pass the ball to Stevenson, who came up to answer, wanting to control the basketball first, but before that, a big black hand quietly appeared on the passing route with a strong wind.

Stealing a pass from Arenas, James pushed the basketball forward hard, then accelerated wildly to the Wizards' empty basket, and scored two more points with a big windmill dunk.

Defending Arenas' attack for the first time, Shannon Brown was more confident, and when Arenas came with the ball again, he didn't hesitate to press up, and the action was bigger and rougher.

"This muscle ......" Arenas frowned, it was he who was defenseless just now to let Shannon Brown succeed, but now, how could it be possible to use this kind of brutal defense to block Arenas' attack?

The body shook violently to the left, and the range of movement was so large that Shannon Brown's body lost control for a while, and at the moment when Shannon Brown lost control, Arenas had already broken through from Shannon Brown's right side, and stepped into the three-point line, Arenas suddenly stopped, jumped up, and threw a basketball with his hand.

A large yellow hand appeared above the basketball.

"Smack!" The basketball was fanned to the front court by Zhang Kong, and Shannon Brown, who played a block fast break with Zhang Kong many times in training, immediately understood the fast and stupid, and finally received the basketball that fell in the air when he ran all the way to the three-point line, and at this time, Caron Butler, the fastest defense of the Wizards, had just broken through the halfcourt line.

Shannon Brown, who has plenty of time and space, showed off a powerful dunk, jumping high and holding the basketball high and spinning it in the air for 360 degrees, and then pouring the basketball into the basket with both hands!

Perhaps it was the continuous dunks that affected Arenas' momentum, and the next time he attacked, Arenas finally didn't come by himself, but passed the ball to Caron Butler, who hadn't touched the ball for a long time!

It's a pity that Arenas' hand is hot, but it doesn't mean that the rest of the Wizards team is hot, and Caron Butler, who hasn't touched the ball a few times since the opening, is still very cold, and the basket simply refuses to enter the basketball.

It was still Ilgoskas's card position, and Zhang Kong won the basketball without any interference.

Rumble!

The Quicken Loan Arena resounded with earth-shattering cheers, even louder and longer than when Shannon Brown performed the Lady of Liberty dunk.

This is just an ordinary defensive rebound, and the process of winning it is not exciting, but at the same time that this rebound was won by Zhang Kong, it also announced that in the prehistoric era, the rookie single-quarter 16 rebound record known as 'impossible for anyone to break', the terrifying record left by the basketball emperor Chamberlain, was finally caught up.
