Chapter 254: The "domineering" LeBron, and the Knicks' hole cards
Here it comes!
When Levan stood in front of LeBron James, Spoelstra instantly became nervous.
This change of formation should be......
D'Antoni's trick, right?
Is this a trick?
The Filipino thought for a moment and asked himself:
Calculate!
Wade's sluggish performance in the first two games made Li Wan's defensive ability once again gain from the outside world.
Although most of the media still believe that Wade's own problem is bigger, after all, this is the first time since the 04~05 season that he has missed the "best team" without reimbursement for the season......
"The Flash" is old!
So he couldn't even cope with Li Wan's single defense.
But as a head coach, you naturally have to be a little more cautious...... The ability to keep Joe Johnson and Wade against them in a row is certainly not just because they are old......
Li Wan's personal defensive ability has definitely become much stronger......
LeBron James' expression was not as relaxed as it was at the beginning.
When Li Wan defended Wade, he watched from the sidelines, and he knew very well how this guy trained his "second brother", this guy's defensive ability should definitely not be underestimated!
LeBron, who received the ball, was not in a hurry to dribble, but still came first with a "three threats to raise his hand", seeing that Li Wan was still motionless, he was even more sure that Li Wan in front of him was a master!
Li Wan: ......
And when he started dribbling, Li Wan's closeness made him feel the pressure.
The most important thing is that this guy is not completely close, but just uses his long arms to interfere with his dribbling, so that he always dribbles and eats the ball.
It's hard to ......
He had no choice but to turn sideways and forcibly kill the inside.
Li Wan's current strength is above 80, which belongs to the all-star level, but the strength of LeBron James at the peak is basically full, so just resisted, and Li Wan was pushed away.
Spoelstra was relieved at the first time when Li Wan was pushed away.
There was also a huge wave of cheers at the scene.
Just watched LeBron James struggling, they were really afraid that in the first round, LeBron James would be prevented, which would be too demoralizing!
Fortunately, the "Little Emperor" proved with practical actions that any skill is useless in the face of absolute power!
Tyson Chandler was quick to make up the defense, which forced LeBron James to go one step faster.
To say that LeBron's explosive power is also really terrifying.
Tyson Chandler watched as LeBron James completed the "corner overtake" in the final moments, one step ahead of him, scored under the basket, and held the ball to the basket.
"Bang Dang!"
Pity......
The ball pops out of the box!
Tyson Chandler took advantage of the situation to protect the rebound.
LeBron James clapped his hands in annoyance. Spoelstra also pursed his lips slightly, feeling sorry for this result, which has obviously entered LeBron's "track".
Actually iron?
The New York Knicks counterattacked, and Li Wan faced Wade and LeBron James successively, and he chose a hidden pass to Tyson Chandler.
It's just that Chris Bosh has been secretly watching with his neck hooked, noticing the hidden pass and successfully intercepting it.
….
Li Wan's mistake plus 1!
The score was 4-8.
In the cheers at the scene, Li Wan signaled to his teammates:
My question!
D'Antoni immediately beckoned and called out Rashid Wallace.
Li Wan now needs to face LeBron on the defensive end, and he will definitely not dare to play too fiercely on the offensive end, in this case he will definitely not be able to rush, and the "triple threat" will be one less heavy, and there will be a lot less choice of play.
The probability of being seen through is greatly increased.
D'Antoni put Wallace on the court to help Li Wan reduce the burden of ball handling and organization, and use the off-ball mode to make up for the threat of breaking through with the ball.
LeBron James continued to play Lee Wan with the ball, and he was not convinced by the end of the last round. Li Wan is still the strategy just now, keeping a certain distance and using his long arms to interfere with LeBron James' dribbling.
Even if LeBron James's dribbling*** is disturbed, he will almost lose the ball.
Li Wan did not immediately bully him and forcibly steal.
The "Death Coil" badge is lit all the time.
The first function of the badge: The longer the host is in defense, the longer it wraps around the opponent, the more obvious the interference effect on the opponent's hit rate.
When he saw this badge for the first time, Li Wan felt very buggy.
Because this means that Li Wan's current entanglement has imperceptibly affected LeBron James's final shot.
Just like the ball just now, LeBron James's finishing ability under the basket is undoubted, and that shot is also within his ability, but the "Death Winding" badge, coupled with Tyson Chandler's pressing defense, made LeBron James' layup finally end in iron.
At that time, Li Wan interfered for about 5 seconds, and it had such a strong effect, and now what Li Wan has to do is to keep this kind of winding, the longer the better!
Well......
He definitely didn't feel the power of LeBron James after colliding with LeBron James just now, and didn't dare to force a steal......
Seeing that Li Wan's long arm interference was becoming more and more accurate, "Little Emperor" gave up the struggle, turned on the "Power Pump", and successfully flew Li Wan again to Tyson Chandler under the basket.
This time, Tyson Chandler is faster!
But LeBron James is faster, too!
Perverted ......
"The King of Fighters" couldn't help but curse in his heart.
Unknowingly, he has also been playing in this alliance for 11 years, and it is said that he has seen a lot of various geniuses, but it is indeed rare for his physical fitness to be like this......
No!
I've never seen it before!
LeBron James has passed the "boxing champion" and his eyes have completely fallen on the basket, and this time he pays more attention to his finger strength.
You can't make the same mistake again!
It's just that......
"Bang Dang!"
Missed the hit again!
「fxxk!」
LeBron James jumped to his feet in anger.
Why didn't this Nima enter again!
Bad luck tonight!
Spoelstra thought the same way.
Normally, these two goals should have been scored......
Barkley, however, slapped the table after these two rounds and shouted, "It's time to revisit Leewan's defensive ability!"
He endured this for a long time.
As early as when "Eagle King" Joe Johnson said that "Li Wan has the defensive strength of the Best Defensive Player Award", he wanted to say "I think it too"!
….
But the outside world thinks that the "Eagle King" is old, and he thinks it's useless alone, so he chooses to close the microphone.
Then Wade was also blocked by Li Wan, and he wanted to say again that Li Wan was a player at the level of "Best Defensive Player Award", but everyone still felt that Wade himself was more responsible.
He had no choice but to shut up again.
Can ...... now
LeBron James couldn't score against Lee Wan for two consecutive rounds, and he felt he couldn't be silent anymore: "Admit it, Lee Wan is the best defensive player award-caliber player!"
In the ESPN studio, former Grizzlies head coach Hubie Brown also said: "Li Wan's contribution is great, and he disrupted LeBron James's rhythm very well in the previous entanglement."
If the "Little Emperor" had heard these words, he would have explained:
I didn't
Yes!
But he can't say why the final layup is usually a hand-held pinch, but this time he missed two consecutive shots.
Or maybe......
Is it because of Li Wan's entanglement?
In a mansion in Orlando, Joe Johnson looked at the close-up of Li Wan on TV with bright eyes, and said it all:
Yeah!
That's it, that's it!
Li Wan, give full play to all your abilities!
After Wade was blocked by Li Wan, there are many people who want to change the outside world's perception of Li Wan's defensive ability, Barkley is one, and Joe Johnson is another.
There is no way, in this year's playoffs, he made Li Wan very miserable, but he just caught up with the contract year!
If there is no way to prove that "it is not that his offensive ability is weak, but that Li Wan's defensive ability is too strong", I am afraid that he will not even be able to sign the last big contract of his career......
Therefore, tonight he stayed in front of the TV early, waiting for this game Li Wan to shine on the defensive end again!
As a result, Li Wan really will not disappoint. He took the initiative to stand in front of LeBron James and successfully limited LeBron for two rounds!
He, the "Eagle King" Joe Johnson, is about to be whitewashed!
The New York Knicks managed to score the next offense.
"Roaring Tianzun" made a contribution as soon as he came up, and after blocking and dismantling in the high post, he received a pass from Li Wan, and responded to Tyson Chandler, who was leaking under the basket, to help the latter and dunk smoothly.
When Li Wan pulled outside the three-point line, all members of the Heat team had to expand the entire lineup outward, and the empty space under the basket naturally came out.
This is the containment of Li Wan without the ball.
6-8!
Rasheed Wallace, who showed his presence on the offensive end, went on to show his presence on the defensive end.
In fact, in the face of the Heat's lineup, he can play the No. 5 position on the court.
After all, Anthony, the No. 5 position of the Heat, is only 2.06 meters, and Haslem, who is sitting on the bench, is only 2.01 meters tall......
He coupled with Tyson Chandler made it harder for LeBron James to get to the basket.
Especially when Li Wan's defense was already making him very uncomfortable......
For the remainder of the first quarter, LeBron James' personal ball-handling offensive presence was greatly reduced, and although he received 3 assists, his own efficiency in shooting 2 of 3 in the opening game became 3 of 7 shots when he went off the court.
….
Yes......
After Li Wan switched to LeBron James, "Little Emperor" only hit a total of one goal.
became more and more jealous of Li Wan's poking the ball, so that the "Little Emperor" was always not so resolute when breaking through. But he himself is a scorer of the "epee without edge" type, and the result of being too concerned about the minutiae is ......
In the face of Li Wan, he seemed to stumble more and more.
Wade played in four games in the Eastern Conference Finals, his best first quarter, shooting 3-of-4 from the field and 2-of-2 from the free-throw line, scoring eight points and adding one assist.
Kenny Smith said, "I don't have to face Li Wan, Dwyan's play is obviously a lot more stable!" He seemed to see the "Flash" he used to be.
Barkley nodded like a chicken pecking rice, yes, yes, yes, mainly because the defender of Wade changed from Lee Wan to Cook......
Jie almost judged the performance of the two, which is enough to prove that Wade is still very good, but Li Wan's defense makes him bad!
What does this mean, do you need to say more?
Li Wan, another "Best Defensive Player Award" level outside player was born!
"He's the next Michael Jordan, the next 'glove, Gary Payton!'"
Barkley's expression was unusually determined.
It's just that Wade's performance is very good, but the New York Knicks have successfully overtaken the point difference
At the end of the first quarter, they were 29-27 ahead.
This shows that Wade's dominance of the game is slipping......
As we all know, the 28-year-old LeBron James averages 27 points per game and the 38-year-old LeBron James averages 27 points per game, and the results of leading the team are different.
28-year-old LeBron James averages 27 points per game and is the team's first in the East; The 38-year-old LeBron James averaged 27 points per game and was so anxious that he knelt down, and the Lakers were still at the bottom of the West......
The gap between ordinary all-stars and supergiants is actually just a little bit of a billion!
At this moment, Wade is going through this stage.
However, there is no such thing.
What everyone is talking about at the moment is LeBron James' poor performance against LeBron Jersey's defense......
Since Joe Johnson and Wade, another supergiant who lost himself in the face of Leewan's defense was born, and it was also this time that successfully limited LeBron James, making the outside world realize that perhaps......
Is it really because Li Wan's defensive ability is too strong?
- That's terrifying!
Bill Wharton expressed his sentiments via Twitter.
Li Wan's scoring ability has been recognized by the outside world, even if he is not ranked first in the league now, but no one can rank his name in front of Li Wan......
Right now......
Unconsciously, is this another way to elevate his defensive ability to a historic level?
Well......
After defending Joe Johnson and Dwight Wade in a row, and successfully limiting LeBron James, no matter who it is, it must be admitted that Li Wan's defensive ability, even in the ranks of all-time outside defenders, can now be ranked!
After all, this is the "Eagle King", "The Flash" and the "Little Emperor"!
In today's alliance, who can be sure that he is better defended than Li Wan in the face of these three people?
The Heat's bench and the spectator seats on the sidelines suddenly became lower.
LeBron James keenly sensed this.
….
The whole person was a little cramped and drank water.
He didn't want it to end there......
If it really ends like this, is there any difference between the Heat having him and not having him?
The game continued for the rest of the day.
The lead in the score allowed the New York Knicks' bench to play very aggressively, and the score was further extended after they came on the court.
At 2:34 in the second quarter, the New York Knicks' lead went from 2 to 5 points.
Seeing this, Spoelstra hurriedly called a timeout and set @
The crowd threw a huge cheer when the Heat players came on, and the score difference was not by much, and they didn't have to lose faith in the team.
It's just that at this moment, seeing Li Wan continue to defend LeBron James, they can't help but pinch a cold sweat for the "little emperor".
In the first quarter, they all saw the counterpoint of the two people, and in the face of Li Wan, the "little emperor" was really struggling.
The forcible breakthrough of the individual, I don't know why, is always out of the state.
Compared to their nervousness, LeBron James now moved his eyes firmly from the wing to a position close to the arc, confidently asking for the ball.
Then, there was no superfluous movement, just a slight step back, pulling out the space, and riveting enough strength like a bull to kill the inside.
The difference in strength is even more obvious now, Li Wan stood on his feet and carried it hard, but still let LeBron James go to the basket.
This time, the momentum is fierce.
Tyson Chandler didn't react to the basket.
Fast!
So fast!
The sturdy body is like a high-speed train at full speed to the basket, and the tense body is a "tomahawk snap......
"Phew!"
The basket screamed at a pain it shouldn't have suffered at its age.
The originally somewhat dull scene erupted into a wave of screams at this moment, and the atmosphere of the home stadium reached its climax at once.
LeBron James' domineering dunk made all Heat fans can't help but scream.
Not to mention the fans of the Heat, in the TNT studio, Barkley, who is a loyal fan of Li Wan, also said "I Cao", his eyes widened.
….
I've seen something fierce, but I've never seen anything so fierce!
"Ho!"
LeBron James also vented his frustration in the first quarter in this ball, and took a domineering "bully step" in the defense. It's just that the chest-pounding action was hastily interrupted because ......
Li Wan is already holding the ball and is about to go down!
"Stop him, stop him!"
LeBron James yelled and chased after him, wrapping up with Wade on the right, Lewan was forced to slow down, and Ray Allen answered from outside the three-point line on the right.
Chalmers didn't know if he was enlightened tonight and followed his moves again, but this time Ray Allen managed to make a three-point foul.
Three free throws!
"Dry ......"
Spoelstra's voice stopped abruptly with the referee's whistle, and the excitement turned into a look of annoyance at this moment.
What kind of rules are you committing?
The scene was also full of anxious scolding.
Ray Allen walked to the free-throw line to full-court boos and hit three free throws in a solid shot.
The difference became even wider, reaching 6 points.
Seeing that the atmosphere on the scene was a little gloomy, LeBron James once again took out his "bulldozer-style" breakthrough, forced past Li Wan's defense, and rushed to the basket.
Real Nyima Perverted!
Lee Wan gave the same rating as Tyson Chandler.
This kind of strong burst ability, which can't be stopped at all, and can't even be pulled up even if you pounce, is really the power that human beings can have?
Tyson Chandler was much more timely this time, but LeBron James was not a ball-handler who set aside his interference and showed the ball into the basket with one hand.
As the ball rolled into the basket, there was another roar of cheers.
LeBron James clenched his fists again.
It's normal!
It's normal!
It's finally normal!
Sure enough, I was too hesitant?
After scoring two goals in a row, LeBron James's gaze became more decisive at this moment, and he found his feelings!
It was the New York Knicks' turn to serve again, but before Tyson Chandler could make a free throw, Li Wan took the initiative to call a timeout.
He couldn't hold it anymore!
He couldn't hold it anymore!
yes!
LeBron James beat Li Wan to the point of shouting "timeout"!
"Is that what it takes? Li Wan is nothing more than that!"
"I said, how could LeBron James be restricted so easily?"
"LeBron just thinks too much, as long as he plays resolutely, what is Li Wan!"
Heat fans in the audience rejoiced.
LeBron James returned to the bench and said, "Let's keep it up, keep it up, we're going to win!"
His words, along with his performance after returning to the court, made everyone on the Heat nod convincingly.
Wade has to admit that LeBron James's current strength is indeed above him, and all he can do is accept all the public opinion from the outside world after the game......
And also......
Now be your own second master!
The atmosphere in front of the New York Knicks bench is not bad, but Mike Brown is very serious about setting up his tactics.
When Li Wan got off the field, he deliberately signaled to him, and he knew the signal very well:
It's time to pull out our "secret weapon" for LeBron James!
….
Yes......
From the beginning, he never thought that he alone could defend against LeBron James.
Although he redeemed the template to Leonard, he ......
Don't forget!
Most of his potential has yet to be realized.
Just relying on a "death entanglement", you want to guard against the peak LeBron James?
I'm afraid I'm not thinking about fart!
"Wait a minute, Li Wan will mainly force LeBron James to play on the left side......
In the future of 2023, a "big-mouthed" but really strong "performance artist" Dillon Brooks talked about the secret of defending James, saying: "He doesn't want to play on the left side, I just let him play on the left side for the whole game, and then he will jump or pass. That's my approach, that's what I'm good at. I need to play physical against him, keep hitting him, and don't let him shoot easily."
Coincidentally, Michael Jordan said in 2013, "I've studied him, and when he goes to the right, he's usually breaking through. When he goes left, he often makes jumpers. It must have to do with his skills, how he shoots with the ball. So, if I had to defend him, nine out of 10 times I would force him to go left-handed. If he goes to the right, I can't guard him. So I'm not going to let him go to the right."
Although they are separated by ten years, the two men made similar judgments when defending LeBron.
It's all about defending the right side, allowing LeBron to attack with a "very ball-handler......
And a lot of it is explained that when the "Little Emperor" goes to the left side, he will choose to pass or shoot more often......
Instead of continuing to thrust strongly.
This is a technical flaw for LeBron James, and it hasn't been fixed for a decade.
"If he is forced to walk on the right side...... Attention to the flanks, resolutely wrap the clamp!"
This is the second move......
There are many people in the world who specialize in the whole way.
For example, Jerry West, for example, Aaron Iverson, everyone knows they have to go on the right side, but the opponent just can't stop it.
LeBron James falls into this category.
Of course, the difference is still significant.
The most important point is that Jerry West and Aaron Iverson have a lot of scoring tools on the left, but they are more used to playing on the right, but the opponent can't afford to guard their left.
LeBron James is "domineering".
Although he doesn't have much offensive skills on the left side, Wushuang's strength and explosiveness give him the ability to walk on the right side......
In this case, it is necessary to prepare a "cage" for him, and when he gets in, he will be quickly trapped.
And this is also Li Wanwei
A real killer move prepared by LeBron James!
Anyway, this is also the future all-time scoring champion, you can say that he is "a fresh move", but this trick, he really eats all over the world.
For such a guy, Li Wan never intended to fight alone, but Li Wan didn't expect that with himself, LeBron James in a normal state, with his current strength, he could handle it well.
Only when LeBron James is completely ruthless will he feel that he has more than enough heart and not enough power.
Can......
If that's the case!
Li Wan is a little looking forward to what kind of trouble his defense will bring to LeBron James after this summer's special training!
But if you really want to say it......
LeBron James' nemesis is quite a lot.
The next 14 and 15 years of Finals MVP will be won by successfully limiting LeBron James.
Of course......
It is also for this reason that the MVP of these two finals has been criticized by the outside world, and the FMVP of the finals has become a thing with no gold content in the mouth of some bricks.
But the question is......
The MVP award is only awarded to the player who played the best in the Finals!
If this award has no value, won't the value of the finals have to depreciate with it?
So don't listen to the nonsense of some so-called brick people.
The regular season MVP and the finals MVP are the two most important honors to measure a player's historical status.
LeBron James can't be used to exaggerate the stats' status in history, nor can the value of Finals MVPs be denied because of the lack of a number of championship MVPs.
"Both!"
The beep sounded again.
The New York Knicks, who had rearranged their tactics, returned to the court.
Ruthless love for the common people
