I'm really strong in basketball

Chapter 64 James: My role is negative?
James' blood surged instantly.

You look down on me too much, just vote...what if you can't vote?
"Liu He didn't defend. He watched me shoot. If I still can't make a shot, it would be so embarrassing! After all, my shooting is inherently unstable."

In fact, if any young man is so stimulated by Liu He, he will definitely vote.

But James is just too mature, thinking too much in his mind, and instead restrains his hands and feet.

The Cleveland fans at the scene also saw this scene and were furious.

"LeBron, shoot him!"

"Let him see your cannon fire!"

"This is too contemptuous, damn it."

"LeBron, come on!"

……

It's a pity that the cheers of the fans not only did not improve James' self-confidence, but made him anxious.After all, self-confidence is based on strength, but James knows what level his shooting is.

Because his physical talent is so good, he can easily score when he rushes into the penalty area.

So James would rather spend time improving his physical strength, because it is more efficient.Instead of spending time practicing shooting, for a muscular guy like him, no matter how much time is spent training three-pointers, it may only have a weak effect.

In this comparison, James' body gets better as he trains, and his shooting naturally falls.

Amidst the cries of Cleveland fans, James looked at his teammates.

Boozer is facing Payton... It's a clear mismatch.

Without hesitation, James passed the ball.

Cleveland fans: "…"

They froze for a moment.

What is James' greatest strength?
He plays so well as a team!
What's the biggest problem with James?
He plays so well as a team!
But anyway, this is James.

Boozer became excited. Facing a little "short" like Payton, scoring is not just a pinch.

It's just giving yourself points!
But when Boozer was just about to start, he found that Liu He had already jumped to his side, and cooperated with Payton to launch a pincer attack.

too fast!
Liu He stands at the free throw line, which is almost the center of the Lakers' backcourt. He can support any position as quickly as possible.

The second-year Boozer is still too young, lacks the ability to break double-teams, and lost the ball in a double-team.

The Lakers immediately played a defensive counterattack, Liu He hit the ground and passed the ball, assisting Devin George to score with a dunk.

boom!
13: 6.

The Cavaliers attack.

James continued to hold the ball at the top of the arc, and faced Liu He who put him two meters away, he became embarrassed again.

What kind of crap is this riding a horse!
Immediately afterwards, James dealt the cards to Big Z, who also had an absolute advantage against Old Grant.

But just as Big Z received the ball, Liu He rushed over again, and cooperated with Old Grant to pinch Big Z.

"This tactic..."

The head coaches of both the Lakers bench and the Cavaliers bench, including the commentator, are all bright.

With James left empty, the Lakers are equal to 5 defenses and 4 defenses. Liu He, the fifth man, stands in the center of the court, ready to support any teammate at any time.

Under such circumstances, except for James, any player of the Cavaliers must face at least two defenders when attacking, which greatly increases the difficulty of attacking.

Simply the perfect defensive strategy.

Paul Silas looked at his opponent Phil Jackson in surprise. Is this the strength of a champion coach?
Phil Jackson remained motionless, enjoying the astonishment of his opponent.But he knew in his heart that this was not his arrangement. It can only be said that Liu He's own golf quotient is too high.

There are also Kobe, Payton... what the hell, Liu He actually blocked James with his eyes!

Outrageous!

However, James, you are the No. [-] pick, don't you dare to shoot open shots?
Faced with double-teaming, Big Z barely made a shot.

Liu He struggled to protect the rebound.

This is another bonus.

Liu He stands at the free throw line, and almost all Lakers players are near the basket, which can better protect rebounds.

"He's a genius, I've never seen a kid with a higher IQ than him!"

Tex Winter couldn't help exclaiming.

An 82-year-old old man is out of order and unable to maintain a normal mind, which shows the impact of Liu He's tactics on everyone.

This tactic is too good, and it solves all the problems of the Lakers.

rebound!
Can't prevent James' breakthrough!
Weakness inside!
……

All problems were solved.

Phil Jackson nodded, but looked at James.

"The premise is that there is a guy among the opponents who is emptied by 2 meters and dare not shoot."

The Lakers made another defensive counterattack, and Kobe made a layup.

15: 6.

Beep!
Seeing that the Cavaliers' point difference was approaching double digits, the head coach quickly called a timeout.

Paul Silas naturally knew the current predicament of the Cavaliers. James did not dare to shoot three-pointers.

James must be made to make a brave shot.

"LeBron, you are the leader of this team now. You have to shoot more decisively. It's no big deal if you miss the shot. You're young, and it's no big deal even if you lose. What's more, our penalty area is still very big. With Zajunas and Carlos, they're going to get the rebounds!"

Amidst the coach's encouragement, James' eyes gradually became firmer.

Paul Silas finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The Cavaliers really don't care about the present, they are optimistic about James' future.

So James can play whatever he wants, even if he loses.But what they can't accept is... James dare not play.

That's not like a qualified leader!

What Paul Silas thought in his mind was: LeBron, shoot! 10 for 0 shots, 20 for 0 shots, 30 for 0 shots, will not change your status in the Cavaliers, we will still believe in you!
Back from the timeout, the Cavaliers attack.

Facing Liu He, who was "defensive with his eyes" at the top of the arc, James slowly adjusted his rhythm and shot.

Liu He was not surprised, knowing that it must be the credit of the head coach of the Cavaliers, which is also the basic skill of a head coach.

The basketball crossed a parabola and shot towards the basket. The ball had a positive trajectory and appropriate strength.

Boom!

It's a pity that I lacked a little luck.

Obviously halfway through the shot, but was rejected by the basket in the end... The shot came out of the frame!

George just stood on the spot and received the rebound.

James' face changed.

Liu He ran over and patted James on the shoulder: "LeBron, come on, it's almost there."

James' complexion is not very good. If it is a teammate of the Cavaliers who said this, it is very appropriate. What does it mean for your opponent to say that?
He shook his shoulders, shook off Liu He's hand, and strode back to the half court.

Lakers offense.

Kobe Bryant missed a mid-range jumper and Boozer protected the rebound.

This is Bryant's first miss since the opening, which also let the Cavaliers breathe a sigh of relief.

If Kobe scores again, the game will be spent.

The Cavaliers attack.

James passed by his bench.

Coach Paul Silas reminded: "LeBron, treat this as a normal training. When you are training, your three-point shooting percentage is also very high."

James nodded.

In the frontcourt, James officially started shooting training.

But glanced at the basket, but saw countless Cleveland fans watching him behind the basket, all looking at him eagerly.

James was under pressure.

"Don't care! Don't care! This is an ordinary training! I can do it, I can..."

James forced himself to calm down, but his thoughts were too much, which affected his shot.

His shot was too powerful and hit the backboard without even touching the frame.

The Lakers once again protected the rebound.

James was a little annoyed, regretting that he didn't practice shooting well.

Seeing this, Paul Silas encouraged loudly: "LeBron, that's it, don't care if you get in or not, just make a shot bravely!"

I have to say that Coach Silas has done enough.

James also relieved the pressure in his heart.

Lakers offense.

With the help of George's cover, Liu He easily ran away from Boozer, then received a pass from Payton, and pulled up directly outside the three-point line.

The basketball went into the rim with precision, and the net made a wonderful sound.

Swish!
18: 6.

"LeBron, see? Shooting is so simple, how can you not make it?"

Liu He's mouth opened to attack again.

James: "..."

After finally calming down, my mentality became chaotic again.

In the following round, when there was no defender within two meters, James even made a three-point shot.

You Zhan is still too young!

This mentality is not good!

After all, James is just 19 years old, and he is not even 19 years old, which is actually understandable.

An ordinary 19-year-old just graduated from high school, but James is fighting a battle of wits with a "old man", and it's okay to lose.

Liu He received the rebound by himself, advanced to the frontcourt, was nearly two meters away from the three-point line, and shot directly.

Super long chase three points.

Swish!
21: 6.

The entire Quicken Loans Center arena was silent.

James' face became even uglier.

He really doesn't want to take it too seriously!

But he just made a three-point shot, and Liu He turned around and made a super-long chasing three-pointer...Comparing the two, James' mentality began to have problems.

Paul Silas was keenly aware of this and was about to speak to comfort James.

But Liu He spoke first: "Mr. Silas, leave the task of teaching LeBron to shoot three-pointers to me. Is there any player in this league who can shoot better than me?"

Paul Sellars: "..."

He was speechless.

And this stagnation, James has lowered his head and ran past the Cavaliers bench.

Paul Silas missed his chance to comfort James.

And Liu He was really not just talking, he caught up with James and began to teach James how to shoot three-pointers.

It's just that James couldn't listen to anything at the moment, he just glanced at Liu He, and ran away at a high speed.

Looking at James' back, Liu He smiled.

It's just that in everyone's eyes, Liu He's smile is like a devil's smile.

The three-point devil, it turned out to be such a devil!
The Cavaliers attack.

James faced Liu He again.

Paul Silas encouraged in his heart: "LeBron, make a shot bravely, don't be cowardly!"

But James looked at Liu He, then looked at the "21:6" score, and finally looked at the "close in sight, but far away" basket...

James did not choose to shoot a three-pointer, nor did he choose to pass the ball, he chose to break through...

Paul Sellars: "..."

At this moment, he knew that there was something wrong with James' mentality.

Liu He stood at the free throw line, and everyone on the Lakers was near the basket.Coupled with the players of the Cavaliers, the basket is full of people, and there is no space at all.

Choosing to break through in this situation is simply dizzy.

Sure enough, as soon as James rushed into the paint, he was surrounded and only got one turnover in the end.

The Lakers made another defensive counterattack, and Payton scored a layup.

23: 6.

Beep!
Paul Silas called a timeout.

"LeBron, come down and rest for a while, adjust!"

Immediately, the Cavaliers replaced the No. [-] position on the bench and continued to fight the Lakers.

Relying on the absolute advantage of Big Z and Boozer at the basket, the Lakers started chasing points in the second half of the first quarter.

End of first quarter, 29:16.

The Lakers' lead narrowed to 13 points.

At the beginning of the second quarter, it was supposed to be the time for the two sides to fight off the bench, but Paul Silas replaced James.

This is the earliest staggered peak travel!
Facing the Lakers' weak bench lineup, James was like a god, scoring 6 points in a row, and contributed 1 nail plate cap, once again helping the Cavaliers narrow the point difference.

29: 22.

Seeing that the point difference narrowed, Phil immediately changed into the starting lineup.

Liu He approached James with a playful smile: "LeBron, did you miss me? I'm back!"

James' face was ugly again.

Then it was "eye defense" again, and James still couldn't find a way to break the game.After trying to miss a [-]-pointer, James began handing the ball to his teammates.

However, when he was left empty, each of his teammates had to face at least two defenders when holding the ball, and the offense could not be opened at all.

The Lakers began to expand the point difference a little bit, and soon reached double digits again.

Paul Silas saw the situation and felt that James was uncomfortable on the court, so he replaced him again, hoping to protect James' mentality.

After James left the court, the Cavaliers began to take advantage of the inside and played against the Lakers, playing evenly.

The commentator said unintentionally: "As soon as James plays, the Lakers open up the point difference. When James leaves the court, the Cavaliers chase points. This is also..."

The commentator just said that James is just a rookie anyway, and no one will ask him to perform like a super giant.

But James himself couldn't make it through.

Damn Liu He!
To bully me like this.

Damn Phil Jackson!
It must be a bastard tactic he arranged, it's too aimed at me.

Damn Paul Sellars!

Doesn't such a substitution make me look ugly?I lose points when I am present, and chase points when I am not present, so my role is negative?

That night, James never smiled again.
