Chapter 420 Fighting James(1/2)
Author: Dust and Flowing Years
Brown smiled more and more happily. At this moment, he was waiting to win a home game.
With a whistle, the two teams officially sent the center forward to walk towards the center circle, and Bynum and Big Z jumped in the midfield.
Bynum successfully jumped the ball, and the game officially kicked off!
The Lakers' offense was very instant. Li Tian took the ball and handed it to Bynum, and it has not become the team's first offensive starting point for a long time. He singled Big Z on his back, turned around and jumped to make a jump shot, and easily hit the ball.
"Ah!" After playing the first attack, Bynum was very excited. Big Z is also a veteran with a lot of experience. Such an easy game made him feel full of confidence.
"Big Z, it doesn't matter, let it relax. Whether it's defense or singles, it's extremely relaxing for you!" James stepped forward and comforted.
Since entering the NBA, James has been teammates with Big Z. The relationship between the two is very good. It can be said that Big Z is the man who really stands behind him and supports him.
"It's okay, it's still very easy for me to beat him. Give him a chance first!" Big Z also looked relaxed. He was not really unable to defend Bynum, but deliberately made a flaw, test Bynum, and showed his weakness.
I smiled lightly, but I didn’t expect that the purpose was so easy and I had achieved it.
Brown put his hands on his chest, smiled, and sat on the bench with a relaxed look on his face. Everything was going according to his plan.
The Lakers scored first, and the expressions of the Cavaliers players did not change at all. Everything was arranged by them first, and the opponent had fallen into his trap. Xiao Mo controlled the ball and passed the ball to James before halftime.
James did not choose to play against Li Tian when he came up, but instead chose to play against Gasol. This caught the Lakers off guard, but the experienced Gasol did not panic at all. Instead, he defended and called Li Tian over to change defense.
Similarly, Phil, who was on the sidelines, also noticed this and shouted loudly, "Switch defense! Change defense!"
Just when he was about to change defense, James suddenly accelerated, found the Lakers' defensive flaws, entered the inside line, and scored with one-handed slash!
Bynum at the basket was blocked by Big Z and could not make up for defense at all.
"Defend your own people!" Phil directly gestured and told Li Tian not to wait until the opponent he wants to match, find the misalignment before changing defense.
Then the Lakers attacked. Li Tian saw James step forward to defend, but did not attack by himself. Instead, he gave the ball and the lob ball to Gasol and directly made a mid-range shot from the free throw line. Wallace was unable to go forward to defend directly due to speed.
When retreating, Li Tian did not run directly to the frontcourt, but instead kept watching James' position and was not ready to give James a chance to misplace.
James' physical fitness is unparalleled in the league. Even though Li Tian's weight has increased, he still knows his body. If James plays alone on his back, he can still defend himself. However, James is still a bit uneasy when he takes the overlord step and rushes to the basket directly!
I originally thought that James would speed up and rushed towards the basket, so that Li Tian could only ask him to assist in defense.
One step away from the three-point line is changed to back-to-back push!
Li Tian had to sigh that James was too confident in his body and strength. He was able to defend Garnett alone at the basket, but it was not just as simple as defensive skills, but his body and strength were equally important.
"I C, this body is so strong, it's like a calf!" James then hit his back one after another, and Li Tian could only take it with all his strength, but the collision between the muscles also sounded in the air, and small steps kept retreating. Even defending Garnett had never been so uncomfortable.
"Thousand-jin pendant!" Seeing that the basket was getting closer and closer, Li Tian also yelled, using the Thousand-jin pendant to enhance his lower plate strength, and tried to organize James outside the three-second zone.
"Li, give up, you can't stop me from pushing you to the basket!" James said jokingly. Last time he played against him, he didn't choose to leave behind his back. This time he wouldn't give up such an opportunity.
"Is that so? Then wait and see!"
"Not good!" James said intimately, and he did not knock the defense away again.
"Guide Su, look, Li Tian resisted James's back, making him unable to move half a step to the basket!" This shocked Yang Yi.
The entire league knows that the most terrifying thing about James is his body. Because of this, all fans ignore his basic skills in basketball.
He bumped towards Li Tian again, and a scene that surprised everyone again appeared. Even Brown, who was sitting on the bench, stood up. Phil sat down. He knew that Li Tian could not do this all the way through the whole game, but with all his strength, it was still fine to block James' back-attack once or twice.
"Bang!" This time, James seemed to hit a wall of iron, but Li Tian did not retreat at all.
Seeing that he could no longer kill to the basket, he could only choose to turn over and jump shot, but what he unexpectedly was that Li Tian, who was defending himself, was so accurate that he stuck his turn position and thought that he must dig this guy up soon!
At this moment, Kobe decisively stepped forward to double-team, giving up Pavlovic, who was playing against him. He had to sigh that the opportunity for Kobe to choose to double-team was particularly tricky.
Facing double-teams, not only Kobe is used to it, but James is the same. He avoided Kobe's steal with his right hand and distributed the ball to Pavlovic in the open position.
"Great!" Brown was not as nervous as he had just been. He was very excited. James did a good job of passing the ball and was ready to find the open Pavlovic. These were all pre-match arrangements.
This is also one of his killer moves!
This also changed his previous tactical arrangement - hand over the ball to James!
The current tactic is - James handed over the ball!
He wanted to use James' unparalleled offensive ability to attract double-teams and create offensive opportunities for his teammates. The tactics cannot be said to be unsuccessful, but he forgot that there is no sharpshooter like Li Tian around James.
"Touch!" The shot hit the iron and bounced out of the frame.
Gasol grabbed the defensive rebound and handed it to Fisher, but did not choose to hand it over to Li Tian and Kobe. This game will definitely consume a lot of money for them, and the start will not allow them to consume too much physical fitness.
"Fast break!" Kobe yelled after seeing Gasol grab the rebound.
The five Lakers ran towards the frontcourt. The only difference was that Gasol did not run towards the frontcourt with Li Tian, but followed Li Tian to help him block the Cavaliers players from chasing.
"Ball!" Fisher dribbled the ball across the half-time and came outside the three-point line. He saw that Li Tian had reached the basket and threw the ball high above the basket.
"Bang!" After Li Tian received the ball, he completed a one-handed slash.
"Haha, Li Tian completed another 5-goal dunk!" Director Su said. Two days ago, Li Tian had the 5-goal dunk and the picture of the 5-goal dunk, and he still remembered it vividly. He contributed such a powerful dunk at the beginning.
"FUCK! Your dunk is so handsome. If I were a woman, I might like you!" Fisher couldn't help but shout.
"Go and pull it aside, I won't like a shemale like you. What I like is a beauty!" He pushed Fisher away with disgust.
"Haha, boy, your performance is really good!" Kobe stepped forward and celebrated with Li Tian.
4:0, the Cavaliers were 4 points behind, Brown was not worried. The team's tactics had been played, but the end was still lacking. Just now, the players needed to find out the feel. After waiting for the Lakers, they would know that it was not that easy to win the Cavaliers.
Before the game, Blunt deliberately studied Li Tian's single defense, which was indeed the top level in the league. It was not that easy for James to easily break through Li Tian's defense. That's why he appeared. The scene he had just started was behind his back, but James could also feel that this game was not as easy as he thought before the game.
"Stay, keep it steady!" Brown was commanding on the sidelines. He was very happy. The team's tactics had been made, and the worst thing was to throw the damn ball into it.
James once again played singles on his back, and gave the ball to Xiao Mo on the outside, making a mid-range shot.
4:2 The Knights caught up with 2 points.
The two teams continued to attack step by step, and the Lakers' triangular offense began, but this time the attack started point became Li Tian, and Kobe attracted the defense from the side.
Li Tian and Gasol cooperated in a wonderful way. Gasol, who was in the center, did not watch the pass behind his head, and gave Kobe a pick-and-roll, and threw away Li Tian, who was defending and cutting inside. After receiving the ball, he rushed to the basket and scored again with one-hand dunk!
The smart Big Z did not choose to make up for defense. After all, there are already many All-Star players in the league, which have become the background boards for Li Tianqi.
James looked at Big Z apologetically because he didn't notice Kobe's pick-and-roll forward and failed to squeeze out the pick-and-roll.
"I C!" Li Tian swears!
James came to the inside again, stuck Li Tian behind him, and received a pass from Xiao Mo.
It’s not that Li Tian doesn’t want to circumnavigate the front defense, but that he can’t circumnavigate the front defense. James’ strength and reaction speed are extremely powerful. Once he circumnavigate the front defense, he can find an opportunity, and after receiving the ball, he will score a dunk, and it is difficult for him to defend successfully at the basket.
"How could this offense be so good?" Li Tian couldn't help but wonder if there were players in the team to inform James.
What he didn't know was that before the game, James asked the Banana Boat brother Anthony about Li Tian's defense. In addition, he had his previous experience in playing against Li Tian, and studied Li Tian's recent game defense video for a night.
He also played singles with his back and used his body weight to continuously crush Li Tian, and of course he also learned from the lessons of the last attack.
"Your sister, you must gain weight during the offseason. Although you have some Tai Chi skills, you cannot defend like this at all times. You must increase your weight." Gripping your teeth, holding on to James, and trying not to push him to a comfortable position.
James also knew that at such a close distance from the basket, if he passed the defense, he could not act recklessly at the basket.
Choose to knock Li Tian away again and turn over and jump shot.
Li Tian also tried his best to pounce on James, but James turned over and jumped. Although he did not lean back, it was not so easy to defend successfully.
"Swish!" The mid-range shot hit.
"Li, I said, you can't defend me at all!" James roared at Li Tian.
"Didn't you just get two points? I'll pay it back!" The roar was useful, why do you want to move bricks?
But Li Tian has to admit that he is still somewhat different from James' health, and he is more determined to gain weight in the offseason, hoping to make Jordan's physical fitness card fusion reach 100%. It is still easy for him to play a star player like Pierce alone, but it is really not that easy for James.
"Damn!" Li Tian also roared angrily.
After receiving a pass from Fisher, Li Tian held the ball outside the three-point line and was preparing to play James alone, hoping to get back the field.
On the outside, he kept fake moves and tried to shake James. James was also very painful for the outside defense. He defended closely, and this guy's breakthrough was not easy to ignore; he took a step away from defense, and Li Tian's ability to start his career on the outside was Li Tian's ability to start his career.
"Bao!" But for James, this was not enough to scare him, but was very excited.
"Look, Li Tian and James are facing each other head-on. I'm looking forward to what exciting offense and defense will be next!" Yang Yi said.
"Aren't you worried that I will take a three-pointer?" Li Tian said.
James felt very familiar. This Olympics first matchup was so similar. He was cheated and fouled and directly hit him in three minutes.
"Damn it, you're so despicable!" James couldn't help but complain.
"Hahaha!" A crazy laughter.
Take a three-pointer!
Even if James tried his best to step forward, he could not stop Li Tian from taking three-pointers. Although Li Tian made a three-pointer and was not as elegant as a bearded man, the effect was still good when he was suddenly used.
"Swish!" Three-point hollow into the net!
"Yes, although the step-retreatment movement is average, the effect is still very good at this time!" Yang Yi said.
The Cavaliers' offense is still James' singles crazy.
Seeing Fisher double-teaming up, he did not hesitate and decisively passed the ball to Xiao Mo!
