Chapter 480: Talent (First Update)
The focus battle between the Clippers and Cavaliers began.
The Clippers started the game in average form, and after gaining offensive rights, Curry made his first three-point attempt, which ended in a miss.
Curry's opening three-pointer has always been a barometer of the Clippers' outside offense.
The start was outstanding, and the Clippers would play relatively smoothly throughout the game.
Once you have a rough start to play, you are likely to dig a hole for yourself.
The continuous road games, coupled with the lack of inconsistency, caused the Clippers to play a little impatient in the first two minutes.
After Curry missed a three-point shot, the Cavaliers immediately led the counterattack, and after Irving held the ball over half court, he forced Curry with the ball, and entered the three-second zone to change direction with continuous dribbling, stirring the Clippers' defense, but there was no good chance to shoot.
Passing back to the weak side, Danny Green passed the ball to James who was in the low post with his back to the ball.
This is the biggest change James has made on the offensive end of the season – he'll be attacking with the ball on his back. 33
From fans to experts to celebrities, after years of talking about back-to-back offense, James finally has it.
For a superstar, the back body technique is like the "Nine Yin True Scripture" that has won the highest honor.
A player who doesn't have this offensive skill is considered flawed and unreliable at key moments in the playoffs.
Last season's Finals confirmed this statement again.
James did nothing at a critical moment.
As a result, when the Cavaliers faced the Mavericks' joint defense, there was no way to crack it at all.
On the contrary, Nowitzki started in the first round of the playoffs and went all the way to the finals, using his exquisite back-to-back eating skills to score at critical moments again and again, helping the Mavericks and himself realize their championship dreams.
James blindly rushed and slammed into the attack, and criticism of the "rough" offensive skill level poured in.
So, in the summer, James hired Hajim Olajuwon, a former back-to-back offensive master, to fine-tune his back-to-back skills.
Of course, Olajuwon has relied on his once dreamy footsteps and made a lot of money by training stars over the years, but the only person who can show dream dance moves in the game is Kobe Bryant.
Howard, Stoudemire, Josh Smith, they all had good footwork when they were training, and when it came to high-intensity games, they were still conditioned reflexes, the ones they were best at.
What a dreamy footstep, I have long forgotten to the country of Java.
To put it bluntly, Olajuwon's set of basket footsteps is very basic and talented.
If you can't even master the basic back-to-back skills and footsteps, the so-called fantasy steps can only get their form but not their spirit, and they can't play a role in real confrontation.
This time, James calmed down and humbly asked Olajuwon for advice and learning.
He doesn't want to learn those bells and whistles of dreamy steps and feints, those movements are usually not shaken away by the opponent, he can shake himself away.
Instead, start with the basics, how to get the ball, how to get the ball, how to turn around, how to move the ball.
These most basic things are what James lacks, and he knows that it is useless for him to learn those bells and whistles.
After a summer of hard training, tens of thousands of dollars in training fees were finally not spent.
After the start of the new season, James will really attack with his back in the low post, although his steps are not good-looking, and his movements are not very coordinated, but after all, it solves the problem.
Once James could attack with the ball in the low post, the Cavaliers' offensive system suddenly became much more three-dimensional.
Coupled with the presence of Irving, an attacker with the ball, the Cavaliers' offense has enriched more than one level.
"James's card slot is decent, why is it so like a crab?"
Min Congda ate side dishes and watched the Cavaliers' offense, this James pouted his ass in the low post and opened his hands to ask for the ball, isn't it the same as the crab wielding big pincers.
Crab to crab, James's card position is really stable, putting George behind him.
Don't underestimate this trick, James won't have it before, because he can't grasp the center of gravity.
You can't see your opponent, you lean your body on your opponent, and if you can't get your balance right, your opponent will be miserable if you withdraw from the stool.
So, why can't James beat Barria with his back in the Finals? Is it true that Barria is more powerful than James?
Obviously not, but James can't grasp the center of gravity well, and he can't exert his strength at all, so he can't even move Barria.
Like players who can exert power, such as Kobe Bryant, who is proficient in the back, can often play the player who is bigger than himself on his back.
There is also a back-to-back master like Randolph, who has a good back and can exert strength, and he can play stronger than his own body weight.
James' weight and strength are already among the best in the No. 3 position, and he doesn't need too good skills, and basic things can eat most of the league's No. 3 positions.
After receiving the pass, James dribbled and pushed it in twice, like a crab pushing a shell, and then suddenly turned inward, pushed George away, and made a light basket with his left hand!
James' back movement is really stiff, but fortunately, his hand work is really good and very stable when he lays up.
Therefore, he used a not very skilled back to eat, plus a good low-handed layup, and won the first point of the game.
And the impatient Clippers turned another three-pointer - this time it was Harden, who did have a shot from the outside, George's open cut attracted Danny Green's defense, and Harden was able to catch the ball and make a three-point shot.
But the three-point shot was indeed not stable enough, Harden's three-point shot missed, and Lopez grabbed the backcourt rebound.
The Cavaliers are still James holding the ball in the low post, the same position, the same action, this time Gasol Jr. came over to wrap up.
Jamison cut in the middle, James passed, Jamison received the ball and made a left-handed layup!
Take two more points.
"No wonder everyone thinks that the Cavaliers are a big hit this year, it is true that James has a back, and their offensive tactics are much richer, and it is no longer James's monotonous style of play such as suddenness and ball sharing, and it is too easy to be blocked at critical moments. It's kind of interesting. ”
This is the first time Min Congda has watched the knights this year, and the overall improvement of the knights is indeed great.
It can be seen that Mike Brown has made new attempts and adjustments on the offensive end according to the progress of James's skills, and has achieved very good results.
The Clippers still failed to score.
Randolph forced Jamison in the low post, and Robin Lopez successfully assisted the defense, so that Randolph's hook hand could not score.
James won the backcourt rebound, a super long pass to the frontcourt, Irving received the ball quickly, dribbled past the defender behind the back, and scored a rebound after killing the basket!
Irving catches the ball, dribbles, layups, and a set of moves go smoothly, and the cooperation between him and James is even more seamless.
"Good shot! This is the real champion! This guy is really good-looking when he plays. ”
Irving's wonderful dribbling and flowing layups impressed Min Congda.
Curry's dribbling, break-through and layup are already very agile and difficult to defend, and Irving can feel even higher than Curry, which is enough to see how talented this player is.
In the case of height, size, bounce and other hardware that do not look outstanding, the Cavaliers can not hesitate to pick Irving with the top pick, which shows that he definitely has the talent that surpasses everyone.
When Min Congda saw such a combination of knights, his heart became more and more excited.
The East Cavaliers, the Westlake people, the double insurance, and the Clippers don't want to win the championship.
Some people died, but not completely......
