You should cross the mountains like a brave man

Chapter 847

"Is LeBron's body hair something you can touch too?"

Wei Xia asked Cousins, and he found it a philosophical question.

He can't touch LeBron's body hair, so who can?Who won't be beeped by the referee after touching it?

James was obviously just taking advantage of the home court advantage, but he didn't expect Wei Xia to activate the yin and yang skills when he came over, and Cousins, an idiot, didn't know if he was doing it on purpose or pretending, with the expression of the host of the Science Discovery Channel.

Any star will be taken care of by the league. When they are at home, the referee's love will be more obvious.

Only Wei Xia, who has a bad relationship with the media and doesn't like referees very much, is the No. 1 player in the league from any point of view, but due to his politically incorrect black history, and as an extremely successful American who gave up his American nationality to accept Chinese naturalization, it is an exception, because it is really thankless to support such a person.

Therefore, Wei Xia is a bit like Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in the 70s.

He is obviously an unparalleled and strongest player, but apart from the fans, everyone who sees him is like seeing a leper.

This is the initial alienation of the Weixia Lakers from the media, and they have been dancing on the tip of politically incorrect knives for a long time, which seriously violates the main theme of the United States.It can be said that he brought the consequences on himself, and he has not complained about it.

Just ask for benevolence.

He doesn't complain that he doesn't get the favor of the league, but it doesn't affect him from time to time to get angry with these favored children of heaven.

James' attitude towards the game, from indifference at the beginning to gradual seriousness later, has a gradual process.

The strategy implemented by Wecha has worked.

The Cavaliers played what the Sixers wanted to see.

What the 76ers want to know most is what happens when the Cavaliers run the pick-and-roll on Cousins' defense like other teams.

Judging from Cousins' defensive effect, if James and Irving call a pick-and-roll, he can only choose to widen the defensive distance to test the opponent's shooting.

If you get too close, it will be a matter of a few steps for the opponent to break through him.

Love's pick-and-roll outside bomb is like a tactical option tailored for insiders like Cousins ​​who cannot be defended.

At the same time, Love may be one of the most dangerous three-pointers in the league.

Among other star four positions, one counts as one, and no one can shoot as many three-pointers as he does.

The Cavaliers used the Big Three to call the pick-and-roll to beat Cousins, which made the 76ers passive.

In the first half of the first quarter, Wei Xia helped the 76ers establish a lead. In the second half, Cousins ​​was called by pick and roll to challenge his defense in turn.

No other team has been able to call the pick-and-roll pick as long as they get the ball like the Cavaliers.

Cousins' defense was targeted extremely embarrassingly, and the measures he can do are limited.

Gradually, Cousins ​​understood a little bit.

Except for Owen, he had to find a way to get out when he met everyone else.

Can't let Love shoot three-pointers freely, can't give James enough breakthrough space, is it terrible to carry James' breakthrough, or is it more terrifying to open the distance so that he has sufficient space to start up?The answer is that they are all scary, but if you can feel his power from the beginning, you will not be so passive after the collision.

Only Owen is an exception.

Irving's breakthrough and layup skills can be regarded as the most abundant in the league, and he has mastered the mature ball-holding shooting skills early. He is the most threatening person for the Cavaliers to call the pick-and-roll.

After the first quarter of the two sides, the Cavaliers will take the lead.

28 is better than 25
The 76ers fell behind by 3 points, and Cousins ​​was played with doubts about his life. He didn't communicate with anyone after the game, but just kept silent.

Wei Xia was also replaced. Seeing Cousins' appearance, he asked, "Do you have a lot of questions?"

"I wonder, have I been holding you back?" Cousins ​​said pessimistically. "It seems that as long as the opponent calls the pick-and-roll, I can't guard anyone."

He can be bold and remove the seeming.

Point guards who can survive under the intensity of the NBA level all have the ability to call pick-and-rolls to play big.

Cousins ​​isn't the only big man in the league who struggles against pick-and-rolls.

In fact, most of the insiders can't resist the small play after the guard calls the pick-and-roll.

Just because Cousins ​​is the core of the 76ers, and he has the burden of both offense and defense, so when the problem is with him, it will appear very serious.

"You just made mistakes in some small links." Wei Xia said.

The problem has been hidden in Cousins' heart for a long time. He is a strong person, not because he is forced to do nothing, and he will never ask others for advice.

Wei Xia has taken him for six years, and he has never seen him so helpless.

Those who say Cousins ​​will never mature never see that side of him.

"What do I do?" Cousins ​​asked.

Wei Xia smiled and said: "I can tell you some ways to treat the symptoms but not the root cause. These measures will not always work, but in your situation, you can only do this. Can you promise me that even if these measures do not work well, you will not lose your temper and stick to it?"

"I promise," Cousins ​​said firmly.

The 76ers are moving forward in difficulty.

No matter what Cousins ​​does, the problem of preventing pick-and-rolls will always exist.

This is not something he can change if he wants to. The times are changing too fast, and the speed of his big insider is far from being comparable to today's guards.

The good news is that Hayward, who was in a sluggish state in November, gradually recovered.

Hayward averaged just 14 points per game last month on 42 percent shooting.

You know, the guy in Los Angeles who likes to hit iron has a career average shooting percentage of 44%.

Thinking about the defensive pressure that person faced and his shot selection, this shooting percentage is already very high, and Hayward is the third choice of the 76ers. Although he has the strength of the All-Star level, the opponent only uses the third-man standard to defend him.

In this case, only 42% of the shots were shot, which shows how sluggish his state is.

Hayward made a three-pointer. Although his single-defense ability has been criticized, his defensive awareness is excellent.

He's not a great defender, but he's a great team defender.

James rested, and the Cavaliers also lacked a leader who could lead his teammates.

Their current ignorance is why Blatt wants Irving and Love to get rid of the character label.

The strength of a multi-giant team is that no matter who is off the court, there is a backbone on the court.

The Cavaliers pursue that Zhan is respected, and the rest follow.

As a result, the fans saw that as long as James is not on the court, the Cavaliers' game will have a peculiar smell, and they will not look like a strong team at all.

The Cavaliers' lead could not be wasted by the players on the court.

A group of rabble who are just stragglers without James, who don't know how to play, let Hayward lead the second team to overtake by 6 points.

39 is better than 33
Blatter angrily asked for a timeout.

"What the hell are you playing?" Blatt's roar could be heard even on the 76ers' side.

Mark Jackson laughs: "Coach Blatt looks in a hurry."

"If even he is in a hurry, the knight may be in trouble."

Van Gundy smiled: "It's not that simple. The Cavaliers team actually only needs to see if one of them is in a hurry. The coach's state is not that important."

Van Gundy didn't say who it was, but those who heard this sentence understood what he meant in an instant.

The 76ers replaced Hayward, who played well.

At the same time, Wei Xia, who had only rested for a few minutes, was replaced.

The insiders Wright placed for Weisha are Odom and Hollins, which can almost be regarded as the worst insiders in the league.

The outside line is equipped with Oubre and Robertson.

The inside line has changed from an advantage to a disadvantage, and the athletic ability of the wings has been greatly improved, and Wei Xia plays point guard under this system.

The Cavaliers also replaced James, who had a short rest.

Blatter's desire to change the team is strong, but now he needs James to stabilize the morale of the army.

Ubre took the initiative to ask Ying to defend James.

He was going to play against the opponent's No. [-] position. Seeing that he was interested, Wei Xia followed him.

Oubre is the 76ers' rookie with the highest draft pick in recent years, but so far this season, most of the time he relies on his face to create a sense of presence.

In fact, under his handsome appearance, there is a heart of a bulldog.

Wesha thinks he's a combination of Holiday and Hollins.

He has Holiday's willingness to defend, but under his beautiful appearance, he has a heart that will not hesitate to hurt the opponent in order to achieve the goal of defense.

When James saw the 76ers call a rookie to defend, he said he looked down on him, and immediately wanted to show Oubre a good look.

Oubre is not a timid kid who lets go.

His greeting to James was a defensive foul that seemed to break James' arm.

The referee was eager to save him, and gave ordinary fouls first, and then technical fouls.

The Cavaliers made two free throws, and Oubre just raised his hand with a stern expression.

"Pay attention to controlling the number of your fouls." Wei Xia reminded.

"It's okay." Oubre was open to continuing to foul James. "My fouls are not worth money."

He treats himself like an insignificant person.

In other words, a pawn used to mess with James' mood.

As a result, within 5 minutes, Oubre fouled James three times, one of which was over, and the latter glared in a rare way: "You better control your strength!"

Oubre rolled his eyes.

Control?hug you tenderly?Oubre was pretty sure if he did, James would bring his body along for the dunk.

Then he'll become the first player ever to hold an opponent and allow him to dunk.

Thinking of that scene, he felt uncomfortable, his thoughts reflected on his face, and he shook his head subconsciously: "No, I will continue to foul you like this."

Oubre was thinking of leaving the field with six fouls on James.

When he got his fourth foul, Wright replaced him.

He was replaced by Hayward, while Cousins ​​was still on the bench.
