Coach, I don't want to retire yet
Chapter 426
Chapter 426
The first quarter lasted less than three minutes, and James' early entry definitely aroused the enthusiasm of the entire stadium.
Even Lakers fans were looking at James curiously and expectantly.
It is suspected that the Lakers lineup on the court at this time arranged by Coach D, the lineup of Garnett, Antetokounmpo, Ebanks and Pierce Wade, can basically be said to have given up on offense, especially Offense from beyond the arc.
Both Ebanks and Pierce have the ability to shoot three-pointers, but neither of them has a shot speed that fast, and their ability to shoot three-pointers is not as good as Seth Curry.
In addition, both of them are big men, and they cannot move without the ball like Seth Curry. Even if they move, they are basically half-moves with a feint and cover.
Such three-point shooters are actually relatively easy to defend. Even if they are temporarily left open, they can be filled back immediately.
It can be said that the Lakers' lineup basically gave up three-pointers.
After giving up three-pointers and playing Barkley again, he basically gave up the basket.
In order to increase the height of the Lakers and the intensity of defending James, the Lakers gave up the three-point attack and also gave up the basket attack.
In addition to Wade's sudden burst, both Garnett and Pierce are actually mid-range offensive methods.
This is too good a defense for the Celtics.
Putting defensive power in the mid-range can not only prevent Wade from cutting in, but also save Pierce and Ebanks.
The Lakers' current offense has completely lost its sense of hierarchy and three-dimensionality.
Coach D simply lost his mind in order to "ask James's heart".
This lineup must be quite explosive when it comes to defending James.
Everyone can guard James alone.
But this doesn't make any sense.
If you want to defeat the Celtics, you not only need to defend James, you also need to score, and you also need to play your own offense.
The current lineup of the Lakers is so bloated and big that Wade can't even break through. James knows that he has to open up space under the basket and open the door to the mid-range for his brother James to break through.
But the Lakers piled Garnett, Ebanks, Antetokounmpo, and Pierce all on top and squeezed them into a ball. What else could Wade do?
It would be better to replace Wade with Seth Curry, and the effect would be better.
The truth is indeed this truth. Everyone knows that the truth is this truth. However, Coach D will not reason with you at this time.
What Coach D is thinking about now is to let James lead the Lakers to defeat the Celtics.
If you believe that James has changed his ways, then you will naturally think that Coach D has lost his mind.
And now, most people in the world, not to mention 99%, do believe that James has changed his ways.
Therefore, naturally most of the audience felt that Coach D had lost his mind, and many people were already preparing to ridicule him.
On the court, the game restarted and the Lakers started to attack. Facing Rudy Gay's defense, Wade tried to break through and score the ball, but looked at the Celtics players who were stepping on the free throw line to defend there. In the end, after Wade broke through Gay, he immediately pulled out again without going in.
How could a player like Wade fall into such a trap.
There is too little space for passing the ball, so even if it goes in, it will be useless, and the ball passed out is not an opportunity.
It serves no purpose other than a waste of energy.
In the end, Wade chose to organize the offense again, picking and rolling with Ebanks, and called Chris Paul in front of him.
Chris Paul is the shortest player on the court. After Seth Curry left, he chose to defend Ebanks. The main reason was that Ebanks did not have the ability to attack independently. Either Ebanks directly shot and Paul was not afraid, or Ebanks challenged himself to play singles with the ball, and he was even less afraid. He was not even afraid of Durant, so would he be afraid of Ebanks?
Although Paul's small defense ability is not as good as Kidd's, he is definitely unique among the small point guards in the NBA. He steals the ball quickly and accurately, has excellent confrontation, has excellent defensive basic skills, and more importantly, has a really good ball intelligence. Very high.
Nowadays, Durant, who has not fully mastered post-up offense, is not that easy to beat Paul.
As for the Durant-type players on the Lakers, whether it is Ebanks or Antetokounmpo, they do not attack with their backs.
Therefore, Paul did not defend Wade or Pierce, but defended Ebanks. This is definitely the best defensive option.
Paul wasn't that afraid of being called out by Wade. Although because of his height, he couldn't defend when being attacked from behind by a player with outstanding height and weight. But Pierce was old and Wade was his good brother. He was against Wade. De is very familiar.
Wade has basically had no good performance against him for so many years.
Paul's impression is correct. Wade has faced Paul for so many years and has only scored 30 points in his career in three games. In two of them, his shooting percentage was less than 3% or even less than 50%.
Wade's career field goal percentage is as high as over 48%, close to 49%, but facing Paul, Wade's career field goal percentage is less than 42%, and his scoring average is only just over 20 points per game.
Moreover, when Wade plays Paul, he loses more than he wins.
You know, Wade's career team is definitely stronger than Paul's career team.
Wade has a better team, a stronger team, and better teammates. Against Paul, he lost more than he won, his shooting percentage was still low, and his scoring was still low. There is a reason for this.
Many people know that Deron is Paul's nemesis.
Thinking that Wade is an enhanced version of Deron, Wade still doesn't defeat Paul.
In fact, Deron has one thing that Wade absolutely does not have, and this is also the key to restraining Paul, and that is the threat of three-pointers.
Deron's three-point shooting threat is extremely strong, and combined with his strong body and excellent breakthrough shooting ability, Paul can be restrained.
Wade is not such a strong three-point threat. Paul does not need to be so close to Wade when defending Wade. It is not that easy for Wade to beat Paul.
This was the case this time. After Wade named Paul, he wanted to use his back to fuck Paul.
While Wade was exerting force, Paul, who was very familiar with Wade's back-up technique, immediately withdrew his chair. Wade's back-up attack was unsuccessful and he had to face Paul face to face.
Facing Paul's defensive defense, Wade was embarrassed.
Paul's defensive method forces him to break through from one side.
In the past, Paul had Chandler and DeAndre Jordan behind him, so they had to cooperate to defeat him.
But now, Paul has thick eyebrows behind him.
The thick eyebrow's defense ability is definitely no worse than that of Chandler and DeAndre Jordan.
Wade wanted to name Paul, but Paul put Wade in a dilemma.
Paul did not forcefully guard Wade, but allowed Wade to break through a little, but only to a limited extent. If Wade really broke through, he would definitely be fooled. At the same time, he completely let Wade's three-point shot go.
If it's Delong, just be careful and stick to it, show off your skills, let's see what Grandpa Delong can do!
Deron must have retreated to the outside of the three-point line without hesitation, and made a three-pointer!
But Wade does not have such habits and playing style.
In the end, he could only force a breakthrough and make an emergency stop to shoot from mid-range!
Although Paul is not tall, he has strong confrontation in the lower plate. Coupled with excellent defense, although Wade was not cut off by Paul and successfully took off the ball, the difficulty was indeed extremely high.
Bang!
Wade almost took the shot with 24 seconds left, and it ended with a strike.
This is the first offense and defense between the two sides after the substitution. This offense and defense is extremely eye-catching.
Wade broke through Gay and deliberately named Paul. In the eyes of many people, it was revenge against Paul.
In the end, Wade failed in his revenge!
Paul's performance on the defensive end this time was shocking to even ordinary fans.
Not to mention those experts and explanations.
Penguin Live’s Yang Huahua has now begun to show off in front of the dumbfounded eyes of tens of millions of viewers.
"Iron! Wade's single was defeated by Chris Paul's defense. Chris Paul's defense was so good!!! Great Grandpa St. Paul!!!!" "If the Celtics can go smoothly in the finals tonight Defeat the Lakers and win the final FMVP, I will give my vote to Grandpa St. Paul!!!"
Paul's performance in this finals was indeed outstanding.
There are basically no shortcomings in personal offense, defense, and organization.
After guarding against Wade's roll call, Chris Paul turned around this time and actually wanted to call Wade out!
Wade is not that easy to beat Paul, and Paul is naturally not that easy to beat Wade.
Paul himself knew very well that even though he was extremely excited now, he did not cheat. He named Wade and just moved Wade in front of him. Then, Paul immediately completed the pick-and-roll with thick eyebrows!
Paul's pick-and-roll organization is extremely strong. Paul can break out and shoot, and he is a king in pick-and-rolls with the athletic inside line.
This is also the reason why after James came on the bench and Paul had the ball, the performance of both Big Eyebrow and Paul increased explosively.
The athletic ability of Big Eyebrow is no worse than that of Jordan and Chandler, and he is also better at shooting than them.
Thick eyebrows are Paul's perfect holster.
After completing the pick-and-roll with the thick eyebrows, and the thick eyebrows took Wade away, Paul's next operation was simply dazzling!
Antetokounmpo!
Ebanks!
Pierce!
Garnett!
Paul broke through from the other side and dribbled the ball past all four other Celtics defensive players!
From the outside to the inside, and from the inside to the outside. Finally, after dazzling Garnett, he retreated to the free throw line and suddenly stopped and took a mid-range shot!
"FAK!!!"
"Damn it reminds me of that Chris Cannon commercial!!!"
"OMG!!!!"
A swipe!
hit!
Chris Paul pouted and stretched out his right hand with three fingers on it!
That domineering look, that arrogant look!
Considering his terrifying attack just now.
Whether it was the audience at the scene, the audience in front of the TV, or the commentators in the commentary box, everyone was stunned at this time.
"Chris Paul's offense is unbelievable. The Los Angeles Lakers' lineup is too big. Except for Wade, no one can guard Chris Paul. They can't double-team Paul, and they have no way to defend Chris Paul alone. In this game, Chris Paul Paul will make Coach D pay!!!”
"Now, the price has come!!!"
Paul's offense is really Diaw.
Deliberately naming Wade, taking Wade to the other side, letting his thick eyebrows suppress Wade, and then using his speed, skills, and agility to play with the big men of the Lakers.
The attack in this round is simply full of visual effects!
Facing these big men from the Lakers, James was numb.
However, James’s arsenic is Paul’s honey.
If the Lakers were full of small men on the court, it would be difficult for him to play.
The biggest impact of Paul's attack was not Lakers fans, not Lakers players, and not Popovich on the sidelines.
The biggest impact of Paul's attack was on James.
Because James has heard many Celtics fans shouting MVP at the scene!
This MVP was definitely not shouted for him!
This MVP must be for Paul!
Regarding Paul's performance in the finals, if he were a voting reporter and this game ended the finals, then he would also vote for Paul!
Originally, in this game, he wanted to take advantage of the Lakers' panic and secretly brush up the statistics.
In the past, in the Heat, Wade went up to attack during critical moments, and Wade made big kills at critical moments. But as soon as the game was over, everyone looked at the data and realized, good guy, James' data is the best, and he almost had a triple-double again.
No matter how bad his performance is, he can always come close to a 20-point triple-double.
With such basic data, as long as one game breaks out, the overall average data per game can be raised, and then he can become the MVP.
Even if he performs poorly in 4 of the games, as long as he is normal in games and breaks out in game, he can win the MVP with better data, and it will be a unanimous vote, even if Wei is the single MVP in of these games. Germany, Wade performed better than him in six games, but it doesn't make any sense. In the end, his data must be the best, and he will be unanimously voted MVP.
To achieve such a result, stealing data is very important. He needs a game where he can get 30+ without knowing it, preferably a 30+ triple-double game!
but now!
Seeing Coach D's formation, he was really dumbfounded.
There has not been a game with such explosive data. His average data per game currently has no advantage at all. As for his performance on the court, there is no data advantage and everyone is not blind. How can he not see who is better?
Looking at Paul, who was arrogantly enjoying the cheers of Celtic fans at Staples, James clenched his hands into fists.
data!
data!
The finals will never end before I get the data I want! ! !
The Lakers attacked, and this time Wade didn't call out Paul himself. Instead, he handed the ball to Pierce and asked Pierce to single out Paul.
Pierce had a three-point threat. A fake shot from outside the three-point line deceived Paul and the thick eyebrows guarding Garnett. Pierce dropped a lob from outside the three-point line. After Garnett caught it, he shook his thick eyebrows. Just completed the one-handed chop!
"Pierce and Garnett connection!!!"
"They still have such a tacit understanding!!!"
The game continues.
Paul undoubtedly became the center of attention.
The Celtics are suppressing the Lakers.
But the Lakers are also holding on tenaciously under the leadership of Garnett, Pierce and Wade.
"Dwyane Wade singled out LeBron James, broke through, made a step-back jumper, and James blocked it in the face!!!"
"Coach D, did you see that, LeBron James will not be your undercover!!! Oh my God!!! Incredible YS!!! Wade hit this shot!!!"
"The Lakers tied the score again!!!"
James' eyes widened when Wade was so jealous.
In this game, he was locked up, completely locked up on the offensive end.
He wanted to steal data, but there was no data that he could steal.
When he gets the ball, the Lakers defend alone, and he can't get assists.
He broke through and the Lakers still defended alone, but he couldn't score.
Even when he wanted to rebound from the backcourt, someone was rushing at him, and he could only passively block his teammates.
If Wade wasn't playing him alone, he wouldn't even want to guard him!
Coach D wants him dead! ! !
James gritted his teeth!
Looking at the radiant Chris Paul not far away.
Since Coach D wants me to die, then Chris, in this game, you die first! ! !
It must not end. This year's finals must not end in this game! ! !
