Chapter 97. How to deal with James
With a broken lineup like the Heat, James can lead this team to this point, Liu Ren is convinced, and trash talk is completely ineffective on this man who uses a headband to cover his hairline.

Just like James' hairline, he is past the age at which he would be irritated by trash talk. Although he is not yet 30 years old, he has been in the league for 10 years. This year is his No.11 This season, he is already a real veteran, and the trash talk is used by veterans to stimulate young people. James has never seen any scenes.

Yes, trash talk is invalid. Before the game, when Liu Ren asked Kobe how to deal with James, he said he was going to use trash talk, and he got Kobe’s inexplicable smile. It turned out that this old guy knew it a long time ago. He probably saw himself and James. Sui Sui Nian, still giggling aside!
To deal with James' defense, Kobe's suggestion to shoot him dead from the outside.

It's just that Gasol and Kaman's combination of inside rebounds can't guarantee rebounds. Liu Ren has to play inside to have a chance to grab rebounds. As for Bosh's softness, it's completely accidental.

But now...

Liu Ren suddenly took a step back and took a big step beyond the three-point line. James shot from a long distance without expecting it!

Can this also work?James turned and ran to the basket.

Sure enough, I missed it!

Birdman Anderson jumped up to receive the rebound.

but!

A big hand suddenly appeared on Anderson's head, flicked the ball on Flying Anderson's head, then flicked it again, and took it away from his head!

Whiteside's physical advantage is too great, and one person almost covered the entire three-second zone with rebounds under his pair of huge long arms!
Whiteside looked at his teammates after getting the rebound, and immediately threw it to the top arc.

Liu Ren received the ball and took a step forward to shoot!
It was too late for James to run back again. He thought that Anderson would be able to get stuck even if he couldn't grab it, but he didn't expect that Anderson was stuck and was still grabbed by the opponent. Cole had already rushed out of the center line and started to counterattack ...

With a super wide open three-pointer, Liu Ren made a steady three-pointer.

To deal with James' team, the first task to do well is to maintain the offensive success rate. This is the answer discussed in the pre-match meeting. Only in this way can James play more tired.

Pressing defense and defensive counterattack are the strongest offensive methods for the Heat, but they didn't play a single game today. James gained another 10 pounds in the summer for the three consecutive championships this year, almost four kilograms, and he gained 117 kilograms. Bosh stood Beside him is like a tall guard, regardless of his height, he is a circle bigger than Birdman Anderson.

This weight is a huge burden even for James. In the past two years, he has suffered from fatigue and cramps frequently, and his outside shooting has become worse and worse. He has practiced well in 10 and 11 years.

Liu Ren has always been cautious about gaining weight because he knows that James has gained weight over the past few years in the Heat, which has drained his potential. Now his strength is basically no outside player who can compete with him, even James. Only by relying on his weight can he forcefully break through him with his body.

James was about to break through again, but Liu Ren still chose to stick to it.

Kobe gave Liu Ren a defensive strategy, which is to let James drop low. James’ low post ability is as good as Liu Ren’s. In the 11th Finals, Kidd and Barea defended him. Some people are born with low post talents. , Some people don't, James is already extremely strong in other aspects, God decisively turned off his low-level talents, otherwise he would be really invincible.

James, who knows his own flaws, will never choose to play low-post singles against men with physical fitness like Liu Ren and Leonard.

It's strong again!

Liu Ren cursed secretly and stuck close to James. This time the Heat didn't have as much space as the starters. Anderson didn't have any shooting ability, and even his free throw ability was terrible. His only role was to guard the basket, and his offensive ability was only [-]. One play, and then it's open dunks and lobs.

So Whiteside has been waiting for James to come in inside.

Liu Ren stuck to James and interfered with each other: "LeBron, I'm really not worth it for you. You see, the owner of the Heat is too stingy. What kind of insiders are arranged for you? Look at me, there is Paul. Chris and Hassan are all better than your insiders."

Ridiculous, James ignores, insults, James will use more brutal attacks to make the opponent look good, but Liu Ren originally wanted to disturb the opponent's attention this time, but it touched James' heart!
All of a sudden, a trace of sadness filled James' heart.

Although James immediately came back to his senses, he was shaken at this moment, and Whiteside had reached the best blocking position according to James' breakthrough route, and completely blocked Anderson.

The outside pitchers are all stalked by a few young people on the Lakers side. Bosh is stalked by Antetokounmpo. McCollum is very active and chases after Ray Allen.

Ray Allen was surprised, this seemingly rookie guy predicted his running route so well!
He didn't know that McCollum's best point compared to other players is his tactical quality, whether it is offense or defense, the best point of this player who has played team basketball for four years in college is this.

What college basketball is, is running tactics. No matter how talented you are, you have to play according to the tactics and learn the tactics well.In terms of physical fitness, McCollum's talent is average, but he is definitely top-notch in terms of hard work. He has learned everything a shooting guard should do in college.Moreover, talent is generally relative. Compared with James, Wade, and Liu Ren, it is average, but it is still very good compared to ordinary players. With hard work, one day it will succeed.

And although the Lakers don't have a defensive system, everyone is working hard. Even Nick Young is stalking Cole. After James bursts in, he has no chance to pass the ball outside.

James may have had too much confidence in Anderson's bounce and chose to make an alley-oop pass.

Then he was caught directly by Whiteside.

James' choice is a bit bad!

But this is normal. People who have never seen Whiteside play, even if they have heard that he is very good at rebounding, they probably think that he is like Love or Drummond. rebounds.

The first time James met Whiteside, how could he have thought that Whiteside's expression without passion could do such a thing?

Even when Whiteside intercepted the ball in the air and passed it to Liu Ren, it gave James the feeling that there was still a lot of energy to use, and he only used the energy just enough to get the ball. It's hot!
