NBA: I'm really not a point guard god

"In this game, you will be the starting small forward!"

3 month 16 day.

Bobcats away to the Cavaliers.

before the game starts.

Head coach Zhou Yao arranges the starting roster.

Point guard Zhou Yao, shooting guard JR, small forward Jose Barea, power forward Drew Gooden, and center Oden.

Zhou Yao himself is the strongest point guard in the league.

Regardless of his status as head coach, he should have been the starter.

JR is also the Bobcats' strongest player at shooting guard.

Gooden, Martin, Scola, whoever plays the starting power forward is very reasonable.

But this is against the Cavaliers.

It would also be nice to have Gu Deng return home in glory.

Oden also secured his starting position early.

Only let Barea play the starting small forward.

No one can understand why.

Novak's three-point shooting is very strong, and his defense has also improved.

Durant is the strongest spear and Tucker is the strongest shield.

Each of these three has its own strengths and weaknesses, and it doesn't matter who starts the game.

However, Barea is obviously a point guard with a height of only 183cm.

Is it really okay to let him play the starting small forward?

Don't forget, the Cavaliers' starting small forward is James.

……

The Quicken Loans Center, which can accommodate more than 19000 fans, was also packed today.

23 vs. 23.

This is an old drama in the league.

But for the fans, it is still a joy.

Today, in a corner that is not very noticeable, there is a yellow man sitting.

Takehiko Inoue, a well-known cartoonist from Japan.

Although he has drawn many comics, his most famous comic is still "Slam Dunk".

Because of this, he has good relationships with many Japanese basketball players.

This time I am traveling to the United States.

Naturally, I also want to experience the live atmosphere of the NBA in person.

In other words, although today's Japanese basketball still has not been able to break out of Asia.

But there are already two Japanese players playing in the NBA.

One is Yuta Tabashi of the Lakers, and the other is Takuya Kawamura who plays for the Cavaliers.

Previously, thanks to Yuta Tian's relationship, he got tickets for the Lakers to play against the Kings.

It's a pity that the Lakers stumbled and lost to the weak team Kings.

The only good news is that Taguchi Yuta also got a lot of playing time.

It would be better if he didn't come out in garbage time.

And this time, Taku Kawamura also got tickets for the Cavaliers to face the Bobcats.

It's just that the tickets for this game are too popular.

Takuya Kawamura can only be regarded as a water cooler manager in the Cavaliers, and he is undervalued.

The location of the tickets obtained was still a little off.

……

Game start.

No one can understand it.

What is the lynx doing?

James himself was a monk who was only two feet tall and was confused.

He is very clear.

Zhou Yao has never been the kind of guy who is aimless.

But I can only take a look first.

The ball was quickly passed to James.

James breaks through to the basket.

Baria tries to stop it.

But it was not successful.

Still, James rushed up.

James shot from the basket.

The ball goes in.

The referee's whistle sounded.

Barea blocked the foul.

James added a free throw.

Did not score.

"That guy arranged it this way. He didn't have the mentality of letting this kid be responsible for messing with me."

James thought to himself.

However, this idea was quickly rejected by himself.

James is definitely one of the people with a relatively stable mentality on the court.

Even if Zhou Yao wants to play some psychological tactics.

There is no need to send a small man with a height of 183cm to adjust his mentality.

Moreover, Zhou Yao must not be sure whether this so-called psychological tactic is likely to succeed.

Obviously, this is not a wise move.

……

The game continues.

Barea's defense on James seemed unsuccessful.

In the first quarter, James scored 19 points alone.

There are 5 rebounds and 1 assist.

Leading the team to take the lead at 27:35.

Under Barea's defense, James made 12 of 8 shots and a three-pointer. He only made 4 of 2 free throws.

Barea received 2 fouls.

It seems that putting Barea at small forward would be a mistake.

However, Zhou Yao never replaced Barea.

In the first quarter, as the team's official starting small forward, Durant's playing time was greatly reduced.

Moreover, when Durant played, he was still assigned to play power forward, which made Durant very uncomfortable.

Acted very average.

If it weren't for JR making 7 of 6 shots, he would have scored 14 points.

The situation is even worse for Bobcats.

"What the hell is Zhou Yao doing?"

"We all know that Barea is only the third point guard in the Bobcats."

"His physical gifts are too average."

"Looks pretty strong though."

"But asking him to guard James is still too forced."

"we all know."

"The Bobcats have always had a tradition of coming up with all kinds of weird lineups."

"That's been the case since they first came into the league."

"And, as far as I know."

"When he was with the Wizards, Zhou Yao was also involved in many of the weird moves that Coach Collins made."

“Young people’s ideas are always so wild and wild.”

"However, no matter how hard we strive for innovation and change."

"It's too reluctant to let a 183 point guard defend the best small forward in the league!"

In such a focus battle, TNT will of course send out their ace.

Amid Barkley's complaints, the second quarter began.

Zhou Yao still did not replace Barea.

And obviously, Zhou Yao still asked Barea to continue to defend James alone.

As such.

The Cavaliers certainly wouldn't be polite.

To win this game, the easiest way is to let James continue to play alone against Barea.

However, this time things are a little different.

James dribbled the ball into the penalty area.

He hasn't had time to make a shooting move yet.

The referee's whistle sounded.

Only this time, it was James who hit someone with the ball.

"I can see it very clearly!"

"People have been standing there for a long time, motionless!"

"Of course you hit someone with the ball!"

For a player like James, the referee also gave a rare explanation.

James also expressed helplessness about this.

This guy was really motionless, and then he was really knocked away.

"At that time, I felt like a truck was rushing towards me!"

"But the coach told me."

"James is just a person, not a truck!"

"So I really got hit by him!"

"I haven't been hit by a truck."

"But I think that's all it tastes like!"

At that time, Barea said that he no longer wanted to be knocked away by James.

James said that the guy was lying.

With such a strong body, even if he is knocked away, he can stand up and shoot free throws immediately.

Moreover, he was knocked away by himself three times in one game, and he didn't escape even that time.

"I'm clearly the one who feels uncomfortable!"

James told reporters...
