Pick Westbrook

Chapter 172 In the next game, I will be more aggressive

5 month 16 day.

"NBA09-10 season, the third round of the playoffs, the Eastern Conference Finals, Bucks VS Cavaliers!"

As Kenny Smith's passionate voice fell, the cheers and shouts of the Milwaukee fans on the scene were deafening. Green flames spewed out around the court, and the entire Bradley Arena was completely enveloped in a sea of ​​green.

Westbrook stood on the court, eyes closed, his left hand tightly clutching his right wrist, and he recalled the image of being eliminated by the Cavaliers last season and the crazy training he had in the offseason.

Iverson also remembered that the last time he reached the Eastern Conference finals was the 00-01 season, nine years had passed.

Yi Jianlian clearly remembers the scene where he was blown up by Big Z and Varejao in the paint last season. In that round of playoffs, his body was completely unable to compete with these two in the paint, but this season is different. He Putting on weight is all about protecting the Bucks' rim.

Artest glanced at Reggie Miller who was sitting in the first row of the auditorium. If the opponent was not bald, he probably already had a lot of gray hair on his hair. The regret of the Pacers that year is still vivid in him. head.

Only O'Neal opened his eyes at this time. He had no feelings for James and the Cavaliers. He was thinking that if the Bucks could really reach the finals by luck, then he would have a great chance to compete with the team that he made a great name for. team fights.

O'Neal still remembers that on July 2004, 7, he was swept out by the Lakers.

"What I lost in that place, I want to get it back with my own hands. If I want to get it back, I must beat the Cavaliers."

At this moment, all the Milwaukee fans were still screaming excitedly, the Cavaliers players on the court were also preparing for the upcoming game, and Mike Brown was still sorting out a lot of information in his hands.

Suddenly, the Bucks players standing in a row suddenly took off their jackets.

"let's go!"

This roar shocked everyone in the entire Bradley Arena.

The fans in Milwaukee became quiet because of this, the materials in Mike Brown's hands were scattered on the floor, and James looked at the imposing team opposite him, and licked his braces.

Barkley was shocked at the commentary stand, and sighed: "Don't look at the Bucks as a youth team, their desire for victory is probably no less than any team in the league."

This is the fighting spirit of all the Bucks players, and they all have reasons for absolutely wanting to beat the Cavaliers.

The referee's whistle blows.

Bucks starting lineup: Westbrook, Curry, Artest, Rasheed Wallace and Yi Jianlian.

Cavaliers starting lineup: point guard Maurice Williams, shooting guard Anthony Parker, small forward LeBron James, power forward Antawn Jamison and center Z.

Game start.

Big Z jumped high and won the first ball of the game.

Maurice Williams advanced with the ball, Westbrook followed up and gave the opponent a great physical confrontation.

Barkley couldn't help but joked when he saw this matchup on the field: "When Westbrook was a rookie, Maurice Williams once said such a sentence, I thought he was here to assist me."

Looking at it now, one of them is the MVP of the regular season, and the other has become an ordinary starter. It is already clear at a glance who should support who.

肯尼史密斯翻开了莫里斯-威廉姆斯这赛季的数据说道：“常规赛场均16分3篮板5助攻，是一位非常不错的首发球员，只是到了季后赛数据便下滑到了14分3篮板4助攻，而且命中率还不过40%。”

This is why it is said that the playoffs are the stage for stars. When a player reaches this level of competition, his abilities will be fully exposed.

on the field.

Maurice Williams passed the ball directly to James on the center line after struggling through the half. Wan Jamison.

Barkley said: "Jamison is a better player than Maurice Williams, who is half-baked."

"After being traded to the Cavaliers this season, even in the initial run-in stage, Jamison averaged 15 points and 6 rebounds per game."

"In the playoffs, Jamison's data improved again, averaging 17 points, 8 rebounds and 2 assists per game. He is already the best player on the Cavaliers besides James."

It's just that apart from the above two plus James, the Cavaliers have no players who can average double figures per game. The best data is shooting guard Anthony Parker who averages 8 points per game.

Kenny Smith sighed. Showing this kind of team to anyone, it would be difficult for the other party to agree that this is a championship-level team, but the Cavaliers are still very high among the championship teams selected by ESPN at the beginning of the season. of a team.

The reason is because they have James.

"Although James' offensive skills are not perfect, his scoring average is currently ranked first in the playoffs, and his shooting percentage has reached a terrifying 51%."

"This hit rate is at the same level as Garnett, who played very well in the last round of the series, but one played outside and the other played inside. This is simply not comparable."

Tyronn Lue looked at the court with some concern.

Fortunately, James did not take the initiative to attack in the first round, but was helping his teammates find a rhythm, so the Bucks have not yet faced the problem of how to defend James.

Jamison backs Rasheed Wallace in the low post.

"Don't double-team! One-on-one!"

Artest yelled to remind his teammates on the weak side.

He has great confidence in Rashid's defense.

At this time, the Cavaliers players on the field also stopped, and everyone watched the matchup between the two.

Jamison catches the ball with his left hand for his right back.

This is an offensive technique commonly used by players who are good at back-up singles. After realizing that the opponent's defensive center of gravity is on the left, he immediately moves to the right to re-establish the back-up advantage.

Rasheed Wallace, who is very experienced in defense, moved laterally from the left to the right in advance after judging the movement of the ball. He also followed Jamison's offensive action in the first step.

"This defense is beautiful!"

While watching James, Artest did not forget to pay attention to the inside singles situation, but after seeing Rasheed Wallace's defensive footsteps, he can already decide that he does not need to help him throughout the series. Rasheed Wallace fills Jamison's place.

Because the offense and defense of the two are at the same level.

So Jamison will score some goals, but it is absolutely impossible to single-handedly blow Rasheed Wallace.

Duang!

Jamison chose a post-up jumper and hit the iron.

Marshall applauded again and again on the coach's bench and said: "Jamison has a strong scoring ability, and he is 206cm tall. He can even be regarded as the best player on the Cavaliers in terms of low-post offensive skills."

"It's just unfortunate that Rashid has a height of 208cm, and he can also greatly limit Jamison's post-up singles, so that the Cavaliers will not be able to play the second system in the conventional offensive tactics."

Tylen Lu nodded.

When preparing for the Eastern Conference Finals in the past few days, he and Marshall have sorted out a lot about the Cavaliers' offensive and defensive systems. , the Cavaliers' offense is relatively simple.

One is James' absolute control of the basketball, and he will decide how to organize the offense.

The second is for Jamison to play singles with the ball in the low post or high post. After all, he is very flexible in the position of power forward and can easily succeed in singles.

The last thing is Maurice Williams' random fighting tactics. It is well known that Xiao Mo is a master of random fighting, especially when the Cavaliers score is stalemate and all offensive methods are difficult to play, his random fighting with the ball will often reap some miraculous effects .

These are the only three offensive tactics the Cavaliers have, which are simple and easy to target.

Originally, Li Lai was still worried about Jamison's singles threat. After all, the opponent is also a player with a total career score of more than 2 points, and he is also the 20th player in NBA history to score 20000 points, 8000 rebounds and 1000 assists.

"This data is extremely difficult."

Therefore, in the original tactical arrangement of the Bucks, if Jamison plays low singles, it is necessary for Artest to help defend inside, but judging from the current picture on the court, I am afraid that Rasheed Wallace alone will enough to get it done.

The Bucks switched offense.

Mike Brown of the Cavaliers coach stood up nervously at this time.

After all, he is still very afraid of the Bucks' offense, but as a defensive coach, he has already arranged a lot of tactics for the team to defend the Bucks' offense. Now it depends on whether he can limit the opponent. up.

Westbrook pushed the rhythm, and before the big center Z of the Cavaliers landed, he attacked the basket.

Maurice Williams was blocked in just one matchup and couldn't defend Westbrook at all.

Don't look at him as a master of chaos, but he is also famous for defensive hips.

Westbrook took off from the free throw line and took off directly. The entire audience in Milwaukee stood up at this time. Everyone knew and looked forward to the next scene.

boom!
James chased the cicada in eight steps on the right and directly chased Westbrook, and a nail plate hat came in first.

"This block is really fierce!"

"James picked up the defensive rebound, and the Cavaliers are going to go to the fast break."

"No! This is a long pass from the audience."

Before everyone in the Bucks could react, James threw the ball directly across the court. Big Z, who happened to be in a hurry, caught the ball and scored with a one-handed dunk.

Westbrook on the field took a deep breath. Howard was the first to cover his free throw line with a one-step jump, and James was the second.

Barkley reminded: "The Bucks don't underestimate the depth of the Cavaliers' lineup as you. There is a reason why they can become the favorites to win the championship. James' offensive and defensive dominance alone is enough to be worth two stars."

Kenny Smith nodded and said with great concern: "Howard was a well-deserved DPOY last season, so everyone ignored the second place on this list is James."

"Howard is also a well-deserved DPOY this season. Artest is the one who is very close to him on the defensive end, but everyone also ignores that the third place on this list is James."

"Everyone only knows that James can pass and grab suddenly, but they seem to forget that he can also defend, especially chasing big hats. This ability is definitely the first in the league."

This block also made Tyronn Lue and Marshall worry at the same time. No wonder everyone said that James played an extremely dominant game in the playoffs this season, and the two were shocked in just the first round.

Where is this earthling!

"Coach, this James is much stronger than in the regular season."

Tylen Lu reminded.

Li Lai nodded. He probably knew this better than Tai Lue and Marshall.

However, the Bucks did not have any problems in offense or defense. It was only James on the court that caused the offense and defense to be unbalanced. Therefore, Li Lai did not call for a timeout to adjust his tactics, but signaled to the players on the court. Keep playing like this.

The Bucks attacked again.

This time Westbrook didn't go straight to the basket recklessly, but took the initiative to play a pick-and-roll with Yi Jianlian in the high post.

Big Z switched defenses to Westbrook, who went to the basket again.

Artest ambushed in the corner of the weak side, and James chose to return to the basket to make up.

Westbrook jumped into the air. After seeing James also fly, this time he wisely chose to pass to Artest in the bottom corner.

Maurice Williams switched defenses decisively.

But in this way, Yi Jianlian, who has a super long three-pointer, is empty.

Artest then passed to Yi Jianlian at the top of the arc, who made a steady three-pointer and scored the Bucks' first goal in the Eastern Conference Finals.

"The Cavaliers' rotation defense is very beautiful. It can be seen that coach Mike Brown has something on defense."

"It's just that this kind of defense is much worse than that of the Celtics, so the Cavaliers did not prevent the Bucks from transferring the ball."

Barkley became more and more curious about this game.

In his eyes, except for the Celtics who can rely on defense to win the Bucks, there may be no other team in the league that can do the same.

The Cavaliers' defense just now exposed that they will struggle to defend the Bucks in this round of the series, so the Cavaliers must fight hard to win the game.

Kenny Smith was quite proud on the sidelines. In his opinion, the Bucks were really not afraid of anyone when they fought to attack the Bucks.

next round.

James still chooses to drive his teammates, but in the first round of Jamison's low attack, he also saw Rasheed Wallace's good single-defense ability, so he directed Jamison to receive the ball from a high position and signaled Anthony Parker Played a pick-and-roll at a 45° angle for the opponent.

In this way, it is up to Curry to single-handedly defend Jamison.

"It's a huge matchup disadvantage."

Barkley thought of Ray Allen of the Celtics in the last round of the series.

The opponent's off-ball running and offense caused Curry and the Bucks a lot of trouble.

Obviously, the Cavaliers summed up the video of the two teams' games in the last round and got a very valuable message, that is, Curry's defense is the weakest among the Bucks' starters.

"With James' basketball IQ, it is impossible not to target this point, and it is even very likely that the entire series will be infinitely targeted."

on the field.

Small players defending big players naturally cannot choose to take a step back to defend, so that the opponent can easily break into the penalty area and then only need to make a back turn to pass the opponent.

So although Curry's stature is not good at defense, but under the orders of Artest and Rasheed Wallace, at this time he chose to defend very decisively, always preventing Jamison from holding the ball low Lower the center of gravity, and at the same time give the body confrontation within one's ability.

"This defense is very smart, and it is a classic example of a small perimeter defense."

In this way, Jamison can only raise his hand to attack, choose to shoot or take a step back to find the dribbling space and pass again.

Jamison chose the latter. Although he still passed Curry, he bought enough time for the other Bucks players.

Artest decisively shrinks the basket, puts the long guard and gives Jamison the opportunity to shoot from a long distance, and at the same time restricts him from continuing to reach the basket.

Jamison chose a mid-range shot, and this time he made it.

Tyronn Lue said with some concern: "Curry's defense is always a hidden danger. If Jamison finds this weakness every time to play, it will be extremely detrimental to our defense."

Li Lai was silent for a while, but he had expected that Curry's defense would be targeted in the playoffs.

However, judging from Curry's performance on the court just now, he is already extremely satisfied with the opponent's defense.

Of course, it's far-fetched for Curry to defend Jamison alone.

Barkley said with great admiration at the commentary stand: "The Cavaliers found the Bucks' weakness at the beginning. Now only Jamison can score points for the team against Curry. Wait until James launches an attack later. The Bucks The team's defense system may completely collapse."

Li Lai did not choose to call a timeout at this time, but got up and walked to the sideline and gave Artest and Rasheed Wallace a tactical gesture.

The two nodded, and soon understood Li Lai's tactical arrangement.

This scene was also seen by the players and coaching staff of the Cavaliers.

Mike Brown is extremely worried, because it is extremely difficult to find Curry's weakness with his offensive level. If the Bucks break this point again, then the Cavaliers' offense will be completely handed over to James alone.

next round.

James still handed the ball to Jamison for singles, who once again used the pick-and-roll to single Curry.

"No, this time the pick-and-roll Bucks didn't choose to make a substitution!"

Rasheed Wallace chose to double-team Jamison with Curry to force the ball.

The latter even struggled to dribble under the tough double-teaming of Rasheed Wallace.

Anthony Parker is the point where there is a big gap on the field at this time. He is a good three-point shooter, averaging 37% of his three-pointers per game, but he has almost no other scoring methods other than three-pointers. .

Jamison wants to pass the ball to Anthony Parker in the bottom corner at this time, but Yi Jianlian has already appeared in the defense position. This is the benefit of the Bucks' flexible lineup. Almost every player on the field can Can guard out and participate in rotation defense.

Curry steals the ball!
The Bucks made a fast break.

James retreated quickly, and Westbrook also appeared on the weak side for a fast break.

Two-on-one up front.

James retreated to the vicinity of the penalty area with normal thinking, intending to defend the two at the same time with his own strength, but Curry threw it directly outside the three-point line.

"threw?"

This style of play has to remind everyone of Nash of the Suns. The opponent is also a player who is very good at shooting three-pointers during half-court transitions or fast breaks.

Barkley said with a smile: "It seems that the Cavaliers haven't gained awareness from the games against the Bucks in the first two rounds. Curry is an extremely accurate three-pointer."

Swish!
Curry made a steady three-pointer.

"The Cavaliers' singles Curry tactic was broken in just one round, and the Bucks' coaching staff responded really quickly."

On the other hand, the Cavaliers' defense against the Bucks is more difficult.

James has been working hard on the court to help defend every Bucks player's offense, but the opponent's overall offense is so good that no matter how hard he tries, he will always miss another point.

Fortunately, Big Z received a wonderful pass from James in the first quarter, eating cakes and scoring under the basket one after another, otherwise the Bucks would have beaten the Cavaliers in the first quarter.

At the end of the first quarter, the Bucks took the lead with 32:26.

The two sides replaced the substitute players one after another.

After the Cavaliers replaced James at the end of the first quarter and rested for 2 minutes, they took the opponent up again at this time.

"He's an iron man."

Barkley glanced at James' stats in the first quarter, with 4 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists.

Obviously this is not the real level of the opponent. It can be seen that James has been helping his teammates find the state and feel of the offensive end, but the Cavaliers are now behind, so he may fully stimulate his offensive mode in the next second quarter.

Bucks lineup: Dragic, Iverson, Artest, Villanueva and O'Neal.

Cavaliers lineup: Daniel - Gibson, Delonti - West, James, JJ Hickson and Anderson - Varejao.

Li Lai still took Artest at this time. He guessed why James tried to let his teammates attack in the first quarter, because James is so smart, he is very good at judging the strengths and weaknesses on the court, so it is obviously I want to attack in the second quarter when Artest, the strongest defensive point, is not there.

It's just that what he never expected was that Li Lai would also bring Artest on the court, making it clear that Artest will be there as long as you are on the court, regardless of whether James scores or not.

The second quarter begins.

As soon as James came up, he was extremely proactive on the offensive end, holding the ball and rushing inside.

Artest is well aware of his defensive responsibilities, and always puts his body in front of James, and at the same time puts out all his efforts and focus to limit the opponent on the defensive end.

James felt a great physical confrontation, just hit the paint area and stopped, and then dribbled with his back to observe the Bucks' defensive changes.

The Bucks didn't arrange for anyone to double-team, so there were no open receiving spots on the court.

James can only turn around and force his way to the basket.

boom!
Artest pegs the big hat!

"This ball is to return you for Russell."

Barkley on the commentary stand grinned straight, "Big hat James, how dare Artest!"

This goal also brought great confidence to the Bucks. After all, Artest is the top one-on-one defense master in the league, especially the limited power striker.

It's just that James quickly changed his offensive strategy in the next round, choosing to play pick-and-roll with the ball on the outside and then launch an offense.

Artest wanted to squeeze through ahead of time, but James never thought about playing singles after the pick-and-roll. He knew very well that Artest was on the court with a mission, and the purpose was to prevent him from death.

So what James needs is only a delay from Varejao, and this less than half a second of defensive idleness is enough for him to stride directly to the basket.

boom!
James cracked the tomahawk and dunked.

The Milwaukee fans at the scene couldn't help but want to applaud. In their eyes, James may be the only player in the entire NBA who can compete with Westbrook in the viewing level of the tomahawk.

The second quarter of the game completely turned into James' personal performance show. Li Lai even replaced Artest in the middle and brought Rasheed Wallace up against James, but the result was still the same.

詹姆斯单节8投5中，罚球4罚2中，得到了12分。

"Damn!"

Li Lai threw the tactical board on the ground in a panic.

He originally thought that James has not yet developed low-post offensive skills and stable three-point shooting, so it should not be difficult to defend him. In addition, the Bucks also have Artest and Rasheed Wallace Such a defensive leader is even a player who can beat James' style of play, but he never expected that he would make a subjective mistake like the head coaches who faced James in his previous life.

Do you think James can defend him without Kobe's top offensive skills?In fact, he can knock you out of your arms with a blast.

This is why the Cavaliers will still be the favorite for the championship.

"It's not enough to defend James with the first line of defense, we have to take the second line of defense."

Tyronn Lue suggested at this time.

He and Marshall watched many Cavaliers games before the start of the Eastern Conference Finals. The two teams that defended James best were the Celtics and Magic.

Howard's superman in the Magic team naturally does not have much reference value, but the Celtics, their opponents who were eliminated, gave Tyronn Lue a lot of defensive experience.

"Defending James must not take a step back. You have to restrict him in the first step, otherwise once he rushes up like a tank, it will not work for anyone who comes."

"The second is to arrange a second defense inside. It is best to use the inside players to help defend, because outside players are almost useless to help him, and it is easy to empty the outside shooters of the Cavaliers."

"Having these two lines of defense can only limit James. It is almost impossible to completely prevent him. He is too smart and knows how to find the opponent's weaknesses to play. Compared with his terrifying body, I am afraid that his basketball IQ is his strongest. Big weapon."

Li Lai understood what Tyronn Lue meant. To put it simply, one person led the defense, and the rest of the players shrank to the basket to assist in the defense. This would naturally limit James, but Li Lai still did not want to take this step unless he had to.

Because he has always been afraid of James' passing ability, James is the kind of leader who can make ordinary players shine, so the Cavaliers can reach the Eastern Conference finals with such a lineup.

Li Lai is extremely reluctant that the Cavaliers' role players can stand up and reap the game, which will greatly relieve James' pressure and fatigue on the court.

The second quarter is over.

The Bucks still took the lead 65:58.

Second half of the game.

Curry made a sudden effort and hit consecutive three-point shots from Westbrook's wonderful passes. Two of them were extremely morale-boosting shots against Maurice Williams against the defense.

For the first time, the Bucks opened the score to more than ten points.

Barkley sighed: "The Cavaliers are a bit too dependent on James. He has been on the defensive end to fill up the inside and attack the outside throughout the game. This style of play can last for a while, but it cannot last for a whole game."

"No, as James has not assisted in the defense these few rounds, Curry took the lead in firing."

"Speaking of a statistic, when Curry hit 5 three-pointers in a game, the Bucks have never lost in the playoffs."

"And tonight, this cute guy has hit 4 of them."

James on the field watched Curry hit consecutive magical three-pointers, his eyes were full of strange expressions, and he watched for a long time.

He was thinking, if this player can partner with me, he might be able to overthrow the entire league, but the most important thing right now is to win this game.

In the fourth quarter, James began to work hard, hitting the basket consecutively and causing damage.

The Cavaliers' first 15 points in this quarter were all related to James, either scoring or passing.

Li Lai couldn't help but scold what the hell he was watching off the court.

This is the first time the Bucks have encountered this kind of league super giant in this year's playoffs, and they can't defend against it.

James hit the basket again, Artest hit him up with his body, and both of them used great physical confrontation.

James was stopped in place for half a second by Artest's attack, and Artest was pushed back two steps.

"This is the first time I've seen Ron lose in a power contest."

Tyronn Lue looked at James on the court with eyes full of envy. This is a truly rare basketball genius who has been rare for decades. He is not only physically gifted but also extremely smart.

After the confrontation, James chose a mid-range shot, but the basketball bounced out of the frame.

There was already a ball under the basket, Yi Jianlian, Big Z, Jamison, Rasheed Wallace, and the four frantically fought for positions.

The tall and long-armed Big Z was overwhelmed by Yi Jianlian and failed to grab a favorable position for rebounding. It was only because he was too tall that the basketball still fell within his effective area.

"Big Z grabbed the rebound!"

boom!
A very confrontational muscle collision sounded, and the big Z who grabbed the rebound was knocked to the ground by a huge force before he had time to handle the ball.

For the first time, Yi Jianlian looked at Big Z on the floor with fierce eyes and said, "Don't fucking try to grab offensive rebounds on Laozi's head."

Tyronn Lue gasped as he watched off the court. Is this still Yi Jianlian, who has always been a good boy in the team?
Li Lai couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth. He still remembers the scene where the Bucks were blown up by the Cavaliers in the playoffs last season. Yi Jianlian even suffered a lot of injuries from big Z and Varejao in the fierce collision and pulling. , The Bucks also unsurprisingly lost the Cavaliers on the rebounds in that round of the series.

"But this season is different."

"Russell and Yi Jianlian are probably the players the Bucks most want to take revenge on the Cavaliers."

Halfway through the fourth quarter, the Bucks still maintained their lead. At this time, Li Lai and the players on the field remained cautious, knowing that they must not be careless.

Sure enough, James launched a crazy counterattack during this period. As fans and commentators all over the world know, he used a very personal heroic performance to support the entire Cavaliers on his shoulders.

A sudden shot from outside the three-point line, a layup with Artest, a dunk at the basket, and a wonderful pass from Jamison to hit a three-pointer
Until finally James finally felt tired. He put his hands on his knees and looked up at the scoreboard out of breath.

The Bucks still hold a 7-point lead, and the game is less than 1 minute away.

"That's too late."

At the end of the game, James once again played a very individualistic game, but the Bucks won.

116: 109.

詹姆斯36分12篮板6助攻2盖帽2抢断，贾米森18分8篮板，莫里斯威廉姆斯12分2篮板2助攻，大Z12分8篮板。

Only four of the Cavaliers scored in double figures.

威斯特布鲁克26分6篮板7助攻，库里22分3篮板2助攻，易键联16分9篮板，艾佛森12分，奥尼尔10分，德拉季奇11分。

Six Bucks scored in double figures.

Post-match interview.

A reporter couldn't help saying: "LeBron, the whole world is looking forward to 23vs24, and we also believe that you also want to reach the finals."

"But the first game, the Cavaliers lost, where do you think the problem is?"

James didn't look at the head coach Mike Brown, nor did he look at Maurice Williams beside him, but looked ahead and said without hesitation: "Me."

"If I want to win the Bucks, I can't play like I did in the first two rounds, and I can't score like I did in the first two rounds. I can't beat them."

"I need to do better."

Mike Brown was a little embarrassed on the sidelines, because he knew very well that James had done the offense, revitalized the team, and was the best defensive player in the Cavaliers. At the same time, he also grabbed the most rebounds from the two teams. He has done enough. , He has done very well. No one has done more than him in this year's playoffs, and no one has been more tired than him.

Maurice Williams fell aside and didn't think there was anything wrong. The Bucks used Westbrook as a brash to restrict him. Naturally, it was difficult for him to help the team on the offensive end. Of course, the team had to help him make up for him on the defensive end.

James: "Next game, I will be more aggressive!"

(End of this chapter)
