Versatile Point Forward

Chapter 386 The Real King Zhan

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that although the Heat still maintain a leading edge, the morale of the Blazers has risen, and the gradually shrinking point difference proves this.Therefore, Spoelstra's substitution is even more important. Can James change the situation?
The answer is: yes!
When James first entered the league, he was hailed as a once-in-a-century genius star. After Kobe gradually entered the twilight of his career, James used three consecutive regular season MVPs to establish his No.1 glory in the league.Although he has not won a championship yet, no one will question his dominance. Even the fans who hate him the most have to admit that by the time James retires, he will most likely have won many championships trophy.

Regardless of offense or defense, as long as James is willing, he is the top existence in the league's food chain.His debut undoubtedly gave the Heat a shot in the arm. In turn, the faces of the Blazers players were not very good-looking. This man is indeed the most frightening existence in the entire league, not one of them.

In fact, Spoelstra did not plan to replace James now. In his opinion, the Heat can last for a while, which can also create more rest time for James.But James couldn't sit still after seeing the Blazers chasing the point difference to 3 points. He took the initiative to ask for a fight and asked to appear on the field. I hope James can lead the team to play as dominant as before.

After James came on the court, Batum felt tremendous pressure instantly. Although James' outside shooting was not as reliable as Jones, his breakthrough with the ball had an overwhelming advantage for Batum.And he can't let Ye Feng help defend. Once Ye Feng comes to double-team James, he will leave Bosh an open spot. With James' field vision, can he not see such a big hole?A direct pass can teach you how to be a man.

So the sad Batum was directly blown away by James.James doesn't play tricks with you, and he is not even willing to do fake moves. Basically, after a few crotch dribbles and changes in direction, he relies on his body to force him, and directly crushes to the inside line like a tank to score a layup.

With James' straight-forward breakthrough, it is relatively easy to draw offensive fouls, but there are two points you have to solve.First, James has excellent control over his body. Although he is a small forward, he can completely change his route at any time during the dribbling process like a guard. His strong physical fitness allows him to perform well when doing so. Second, any player who wants to make James an offensive foul must be brave enough to block the eye. pain.

Batum tried it once, but the result is completely predictable.He was blown by the referee for a blocking foul. After all, not everyone will succeed every time he draws an offensive foul, but the most difficult thing for him to accept is the moment when the two sides made physical contact. He felt like he was hit by a hammer. It hit his chest fiercely, and after being pulled up by Ye Feng and Mills, he still felt a dull pain, and there was a trace of sickly paleness on his face, making him look a little uncomfortable.

Obviously, this collision was very ruthless. Batum himself is not a player known for his physical fitness. Even if Ye Feng made an offensive foul against James, he might suffer a small loss, let alone him.The most tragic thing is that Batum took the risk of injury and failed to make an offensive foul.

James' choice is very correct, and he has watched it off the court for a long time.He watched the Blazers players gradually regain their status, and he knew that it was difficult to limit the opponent on the defensive end, so the best choice was to launch a confrontation on the offensive end and use his strong personal ability to help the team regain the advantage.

But that being said, it is impossible for James to do nothing on the defensive end. On the contrary, he has to do much more than before.Because Ye Feng was put in the fourth position, and Bosh's defense in the high position could only delay him for a while, so James had to take into account both Batum and Ye Feng when defending.In other words, Bosh's role on the defensive end is to help James buy time, and the interaction between Ye Feng and Batum is completely out of consideration.

With James' athletic ability, it is a piece of cake to defend two people at the same time with the help of his teammates, but the prerequisite is that the distance between the two cannot be too far, and he will be confused when one is on the strong side and the other is on the weak side.But the Blazers can’t be positioned like this. Mills is only suitable for breaking through and scoring the ball. In fact, the task of organizing the offense is undertaken by Ye Feng and Batum. One is on the strong side and the other is on the weak side, which will cause a lot of lateral movement. The emergence of wide-range passes, which are the most likely to be intercepted.

After being intercepted by James twice in a row, Ye Feng and Batum subconsciously shortened the distance between them, which opened the door for James again.In addition to Ye Feng being able to score points through strong shots, Batum has completely become a pure organizer, his offensive firepower is completely blocked, and his help to the team in terms of scoring is not as strong as Mills. At least Mills can Use your own speed to bully the old Bibby and go to the basket to look for opportunities.

With James' efforts on both ends of the offense and defense, the Heat once again opened the score.In fact, for any team in the league, James at his peak is really unsolvable, and players who can really guard him are rare in the entire league.Under normal circumstances, being able to draw with James would already be regarded as a top player in the league. If you want to completely suppress James, you may have to wait until he is not in a good state to have a chance.

Fortunately, the last attack before the end of the first half was initiated by the Trail Blazers, and Ye Feng was lucky to hit a super long-range three-pointer near the center line, otherwise the score might have been even more ugly.Throughout the first half, Ye Feng scored 21 points and 3 assists again, basically reaching the level of the previous games, but it is a pity that the Blazers have fallen behind by 12 points. It will be even worse.

But strictly speaking, Ye Feng only scored at a normal level. Three assists in the half are rare in this year's playoffs. Even the time he scored 3 points, he also sent out 59 assists in the first half. assists.The Heat's sudden strong defense forced the Blazers players to rely on their personal skills to score. The previous smooth passing and series seemed to disappear overnight. Isn't it normal to use one's own shortcomings to attack the other's strengths? thing?
