Chapter 205 Abandoning the Defensive Strategy
It's like shooting a basketball.

Passing is also a great skill that Lin Ri has neglected, although it can be clearly seen on his data sheet that he averaged nearly 5 assists per game.

But when it comes to Lin Ri, the first thing that comes to mind must be his dunk.

His passing, like his assists, was masked by his superior dunking ability.

This includes Mike Brown.

That's what he thought before meeting the Suns in Game [-].

Can't this kid dunk?What a big deal!
After playing the first game, he thought so.

Is this kid going to be able to shoot soon?What a big deal!
But now, he has to say, this guy seems to be really amazing... Think about it, what he has found so far... Can shoot, pass, and attack the basket!

"Snapped!"

On the field, Lin Ri assisted in the defense at this time and blocked Mo Williams' shot.

Mike Brown heard the voice, and added another sentence in his heart: Well, he can still defend!

How to describe such a guy?
Mike Brown couldn't say anything other than "this kid is so fucking awesome".

It's just...the problem now is that since this guy can still help the team with his passing, it means that he can't limit him.

No matter how hard he tried, he still couldn't stop him.

In terms of defensive gains and losses, there are definitely more losses.

Mike Brown now enters the options.

Or no longer conduct such an exhaustive defense against Lin Ri.

Either continue to find ways to remedy it, and impose some restrictions on Lin Ri's passing.

Only by achieving any of the above two points can the Cavaliers be able to undergo some changes.

This is something for sure!
The first thing Mike Brown tried was how to limit Lin Day's passing.

This is also easy to understand.

After all, basically all the arrangements before the game were aimed at restricting him. If there is no restriction now, wouldn't all his arrangements before the game be in vain?
Mike Brown didn't want to lap down by himself, he was just doing useless work.

It's easy to restrict a player from receiving the ball, as long as you are determined to double-team.

But it is so simple to restrict a player from passing the ball!
No matter how fast a person runs, it is impossible to run faster than the ball.

In addition, there is another point, the person who wants to pass the ball can be stopped just by blocking?
I'm afraid that even the best defensive players can't do it...

Usually, when the head coach restricts the pass, he usually focuses on predicting the passing line of the passer.

And it takes a while to observe.

Even based on video research!
Anyway, it is quite difficult to accomplish this with just a few minutes on the field!
Mike Brown is also holding the attitude of giving it a try.

What if!
In case Lin Ri's passing is only because no one restricts him, his passing ability is actually not very good!

This is Mike Brown's idea.

Of course, in the next few minutes, Lin Ri used his continuous passing to tell Mike Brown that his passing was not because no one restricted him.

But really good!
At the end of the first quarter, the two teams tied 25-25!
For this result, the Cavaliers fans are quite satisfied, because when the first quarter of the last game was finished, the Suns had almost turned the game into garbage time, but now, they are tied, and it is really enough to start like this!What kind of bicycle do you need?
Anyway, the Cavaliers fans at the scene were very satisfied.

LeBron James looked at the score but shook his head slightly.

Like Mike Brown, he wasn't too happy with the score.

In the first quarter, he was full of firepower, played the entire first quarter, scored 12 points, and had 3 assists, but in the end the two teams only drew.

Doesn't that mean "if he plays badly, the Cavaliers will be behind by the end of the first quarter"?

You know, LeBron James scored 12 points in the first quarter on the basis of 7 of 5 shots.

Is he likely to maintain this touch the entire game?

Regarding this point, LeBron James himself is a little bit guilty.

This also made him very dissatisfied with the current tie with the Suns.

However, he didn't blame his teammates, but he blamed himself for not doing better in the first quarter.

He felt very good today, which makes him feel that he can do better in the first quarter!
"OK, OK, you're doing well, and we'll continue like this in the second quarter. Don't worry, let's talk about it first!"

Gentry was very satisfied with the performance of the Suns in the first quarter.

Especially when he saw that the Suns team made 6 of 5 three-pointers in the first quarter, he laughed so hard that his back teeth were almost exposed.

The Suns are a team that will attack harder and harder.

Gentry doesn't know if other head coaches have seen this side of the Suns, but as the head coach of the Suns, he is very clear about it.

The Suns are now showing such a fiery state in the first quarter.

He had a vague feeling that all members of the Suns team were going to "explode" this game!
Explosion!

He was looking forward to such a scene: the Suns swallowed the small boat of the Cavaliers like a huge wave!
Fortunately, in the last match, they all showed their true skills!
At this moment, Gentry is also very grateful for his arrangement for the last game!

In his opinion, the Suns were in such a good state from the start of this game, and it was inseparable from the crazy shooting in the last game...

The game continues for the rest of the time.

As Gentry thought, the Suns were in excellent condition tonight.

Including the Suns' substitute players here, they also showed a very good spirit when they came up!
Compared with them, the Cavaliers' bench has obvious shortcomings, which allows the Suns to play a very good offense in the bench rotation stage.

With these offenses, the Suns opened the point difference to 3 points at 34 minutes and 5 seconds into the second quarter.

Mike Brown looked at the situation and immediately put LeBron James back on the field.

LeBron James, who played the whole game in the first quarter, took off his training jacket again after only three and a half minutes of rest at the beginning of the second quarter.

In fact, Mike Brown didn't want to put LeBron James on the court so soon. He also knew that the use of LeBron James in the first quarter was a bit overtime.

It's just a regular season, there's no reason to use LeBron James like that.

So for such a long time in the second quarter, this guy put other main players on the field one after another, in order to allow LeBron James to rest for a while.

It's a pity that even if the other four starters are back on the field, the Cavaliers are still being beaten.

While he put the main players on the court one after another, Gentry also put the main players on the court one after another. While the strength of both sides is steadily improving, it is naturally difficult for the Cavaliers to narrow the point difference.

As a last resort, Mike Brown can only put the "nuclear weapon" of LeBron James back into the game.

But it's not just the Cavaliers who have "nuclear weapons", the Suns also have "nuclear weapons"!
While LeBron James was on the court, Gentry waved his hand and called Lin Ri from the bench.

Lin Ri walked to the player waiting area on the sidelines and glanced at LeBron James, who was also looking at him.

There is a strong fighting spirit in his eyes!
LeBron James didn't feel any discomfort because he was compared with Lin Ri.

In fact, if you ask LeBron James now, who is the most threatening player in his opinion, I am afraid that he will say "Kobe" without hesitation, and then add the name "Lin Day".

Now in the eyes of LeBron James, this rookie named "Lin Ri" is no longer a rookie. This guy is now the biggest stumbling block on his way to winning the championship!
If you don't beat him, you may not be able to win the stumbling block!
Therefore, now that LeBron James sees Lin Ri, there will only be a strong fighting spirit in his eyes, and he has no other thoughts.

Lin Ri also saw the seriousness in LeBron James' eyes when he looked at him, which made him be careful. After all, he is the face of the future of the league and a "beast" that has begun to mature.

The two played at the same time.

When playing, it was the Suns' possession of the ball.

This made it Lin Ri who got the ball first after the two played.

Mike Brown still insists on the habit of looking for Lin Ri's pass, and wants to limit him from this aspect.

Lin Ri also encountered pressure from his opponent as soon as he received the ball.

Lin Ri didn't panic. He put his back against the defender. After observing the position of the Suns, he made a ground pass to Steve Nash. At this time, Steve Nash quickly took the ball to Richardson who was on the same side as him.

With a bang, the ball fell into the box.

The Suns continued to score the first goal after Lin Ri returned to the court.

This guy……

Gentry frowned. He could see that the ball was originally aimed at Richardson, but he couldn't pass the ball directly to Richardson, so he gave the ball to Steve Nash, and let the latter pass the ball to Richardson to help the latter complete the goal.

This also has a professional name on the basketball court, called "indirect assist"!
Finished!

It's not good to limit!
After seeing Lin Ri complete such a pass, Gentry's mind suddenly changed.

Because this kind of overall situation player really can't block his pass by relying on simple restrictions, it needs to watch more videotapes!

Gotta change target...

Mike Brown looked at the situation on the court, and he simply planned to change his target!

Otherwise, the game would really be over.

You know, the Suns have made 8 three-pointers without knowing it, and the second quarter has just begun!

This shows that it is a posture of going crazy!
After all, Mike Brown is a head coach with some accomplishments on the defensive end. He can also see that the Suns' perimeter feels very good tonight.

If he is still spending a lot of energy to limit Lin Ri, then the Suns may take off much faster than expected, which is not what he expects to see.

He must be replaced!
For this reason, he called the teaching assistant team to his side and explained everything that should be explained.

After hearing what he said, all the teaching assistants hurriedly started discussing.

They looked a little anxious.

"Shh!"

Fortunately, LeBron James completed the shot at this time to make them feel that there is still time.

This also made them couldn't help saying in their hearts: Fortunately, we have LeBron James!
Ok?
Lin Ri took the ball in the next round, and the moment he got the ball, he felt that the Cavaliers' defense against him seemed to be lax.In the past, everyone in the Cavaliers who would rush over the first time he got the ball did not rush over this time, and Lin Ri didn't think too much about it. Since you don't come over, I will shoot.

"Shh!"

Although Lin Ri didn't take a shot for a long time, including the first quarter, his last shot was at 7 minutes and 34 seconds of the first quarter, but he received the ball a lot during this period.

This one shot after a long time was finally easily sent to the basket by him.

Watching this scene, Mike Brown unconsciously twitched the corner of his mouth, with a little helplessness on his face. He also knew very well that since he decided not to restrict Lin Ri so much, it is foreseeable that he will attack from mid-range to complete the attack, and it will become a common situation in the future.

He has to accept his shot.

"Shh!"

While comforting himself, Lin Ri made another shot.

Mike Brown: ...

I don't want to look at your head office!

Mike Brown went from accepting in the heart to out of sight and out of mind...

"Shh!"

And 20 seconds later, LeBron James responded to Zhihong with a mid-range shot with a stiff gesture, and Mike Brown finally no longer just showed a bitter smile.

Instead, the entire face was greatly relieved.

Fortunately!
Luckily we still have LeBron James!

In the eyes of Mike Brown, LeBron James, who rose up in this game, is really like the hero who saved the world and the people, and he can always save people from fire and water!
Ok……

Speaking of which, it was only with his help that I got the "Best Head Coach" back then!
Mike Brown suddenly thought of the "Season's Best Coach Award" he won last season.

That's why he's called LeBron James and everyone else is just someone else!
Mike Brown said so.

While he was so emotional, the atmosphere on the field also changed. When Lin Ri took the ball again, LeBron James moved closer to him intentionally or unintentionally.

This is to make up for Lin Day for his teammates!
Gentry looked at the actions of LeBron James and focused his entire attention on the court. He had a vague premonition: the next few minutes will be a duel between two heavenly favored men!
