Chapter 493 Without the Ball LeBron (Deacon Plus)

At seven o'clock in the evening on the 29th, the Kings locker room.

Curry sat on the floor with ankle bandages, Cousins ​​went back and forth to compare which insoles are more comfortable, LaVine quickly browsed the game video with headphones, Green pulled Jokic to chat about the past when he won the championship with the Lakers, and everyone else was busy. Get ready for the game.

The TV show is showing the ESPN pregame interview.

[The background is the Sleep Train Arena, the new host Doris Burke asked LeBron: What changes will happen after joining the Warriors.

LeBron akimbo replied: "In order to cooperate with Coach Steve Kerr's tactical system and to maintain a healthy state, I lost weight through a lot of training in the off-season. Compared with the previous finals, I lost about 20 pounds of weight. My speed I became faster, I jumped higher, and I kind of went back to the state I was when I first entered the league, but compared to 03, I have [-] times more experience..."]

Su Yang raised his head when he heard the words, and Green and the others also looked up at the TV. Losing 20 pounds in one summer is really hard.

Converted into kilograms, it is about 18 catties, which is a bit strong.

If you look closely at LeBron's figure, he is really thin, and the bones on both sides of his cheeks are obviously three-dimensional, like a vertical wall.

"I'm so determined to win the championship..."

Green clicked his tongue in admiration, "But why do I feel like I have heard the saying that I have fifty times more experience than in 03?"

For a while, no player answered the call, and Su Yang was also thinking about the meaning behind that statement: Could it be LeBron without the ball?
Since LeBron entered the league, he has played mainly with the ball. He has very little time without the ball. After forming the Big Three, he is so strong that Wade and Bosh can play without the ball. His threat with the ball can be seen, especially the first gear in history. Breakthrough layup scoring efficiency.

Anyway, as long as a team has LeBron, it is the best choice to let him attack with the ball in regular time, unless he is on the same team as Jordan.

You can play without the ball, but LeBron's off-ball threat is too low, which was fully reflected during the Heat's time, mainly due to his poor shooting.

[Doris Burke on TV asked again: I heard many people say that you practiced extra shooting this summer.

LeBron nodded: "Shooting has always been my weakness. I haven't been able to achieve the shooting level of Larry Bird. I am working hard to improve, especially the shooting percentage directly after catching the ball. If it reaches 40%+, we will There will be a lot of cooperative tactics. I didn’t do that during the Heat. I want to make up for it when I come to the Warriors. I can’t continue to drag down my game performance...”]

The king's generals chuckled, the whole team was thinking about the same thing, what is the concept of LeBron who can catch and shoot 40%.

During the Heat period, LeBron once had a 40% three-point shooting percentage and averaged only 3.3 shots per game, but compared to 40% catch-and-shoot shooting percentage, it is still a trivial matter. If it can be achieved, then TM Ray Allen level , invincible.

When LeBron uses the cover to run, someone must intercept the inside defensive basket, and someone must chase and harass the shot. He uses the cover alone, and the off-ball movement involves two people, and the others play four against three. How powerful is that, Jordan Level.

Su Yang didn't underestimate him, after all, LeBron has already completed the first step to lose weight, and it remains to be seen how effective his shooting is.

"Let's do it, let's do it, tonight's game has more than 3000 million people watching it live, we have to win..."

Su Yang clapped his hands and summoned the whole team to surround him. They clapped hands and fisted shoulder to shoulder, shouting 123 in unison, we are kings.

Enter the arena in a blink of an eye, play the national anthem for a performance, and then introduce the players of the two teams to enter the arena. The game between the Kings and the Warriors is about to start.

According to the previous arrangement, Cousins ​​delivered a pre-match speech on behalf of the Kings team. Su Yang rejected the marketing department's proposal that Curry give a speech in the first game. s.

If Curry wants to fight, he has to fight through performance.

If Curry doesn't fight, then nothing happens.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the first game of the Sacramento Kings 2014-1015 game. Tonight we will continue the record of consecutive home opener wins. We fully demonstrate the power of the new lineup, thank you..."

During the conversation, cheers erupted in the Sleep Train arena, and all the fans chanted Cousins' nickname boogie in unison.

The long whistle sounded immediately, the referee signaled the two teams to enter the field first, and the central large screen simultaneously gave a counterpoint signal.

The starter LaVine was full of nervousness. Su Yang saw it, waved and shouted in front of him, and said with a smile: "With your current size and skills, it is difficult for you to defend against Klay Thompson, and it will be difficult to defend in the future , your main task is to try to score."

LaVine blushed immediately, then relaxed his tense expression, thinking that what the coach said was to encourage me, not to discourage me, and then said: "I understand what you mean, I will try my best to run and shoot without the ball. I will also guard against it, and will not be frustrated."

Su Yang nodded and patted his shoulders. LaVine turned around and ran into the field, standing still with Curry, Antetokounmpo, Green, and Cousins.

For the Warriors, the starting five are Darren Collison, Clay, LeBron, Millsap, and Bogut.

"Collison should be the Warriors' secret weapon. He mainly shoots the ball, hits the three-pointer up to the mark, and doesn't hold the ball too much..." Assistant coach Mike Brown said, "In addition, their bench lineup, Iguodala, Barnes , Speights, Livingston..."

"Just looking at the lineup on paper is really strong..."

Su Yang made a little deduction. With Kerr's temperament, it is very likely to put on a 2KOL style of Millsap playing center, LeBron power forward, Iguodala small forward, Klay shooting guard, and Harrison Barnes playing point guard. Five small lineups, the impact is absolutely explosive.

After thinking about it, the game officially started.

The referee Bella Adams held the ball and walked to the center circle to stand still, swung left and right to make sure the position was impartial, and gently tossed the ball upwards.

Snapped!The basketball flew to the Warriors.

Collison picked up the basketball and slowly pushed it forward, and the Sleep Train Arena suddenly heard defensive shouts, and the Warriors took the corner.

Just past the center line, Collison hit the ball to the left elbow, and Millsap bent his knees to catch it in his hands, and turned to face the basket.

After Collison passed the ball, he immediately cut inside and ran in circles to the left corner, making it clear that he wanted to cooperate with LeBron who was squatting there.The two got close to each other and screened each other without the ball. Collison continued to circle and ran to the left wing position, while LeBron ran to the right corner.

A 45-degree hand-to-hand screen on the left ensues, and Bogut moves laterally at the right elbow for another screen.

Green decisively moved laterally to intercept the breakthrough space, Curry chased him in a hurry, and Collison saw that he had no chance to break through, so he jumped up and threw the ball to the left sideline. Green, who returned to defense, strode to the basket.

Green has no advantage in height and speed. Considering Millsap's footwork skills, he didn't dare to take it hard, so he chose to slide close to interfere.

Millsap reached the collision zone in a blink, took off with the ball and hooked sideways, ignoring Green's interference, put the ball in and scored first.

Su Yang didn't care too much about Millsap's goal. Instead, he noticed that LeBron was in the right corner and had a split with Clay. Let LeBron break through with the ball high.

With Millsap's passing skills, it is obvious that the ball can be passed to the two, and the Warriors are well prepared tactically.

Or Steve Kerr's routine is deep.

After Collison handed over the hand before, he was ready to take Bogut to cover the breakthrough, but he chose to pass it to Misa.

After thinking about it, the offense and defense switched. The Kings started with an inside and four outside formation. Curry dribbled the ball across the center line to pick and roll with Green.

Millsap chose to move laterally to delay, Curry decisively passed the ball from the top of his head to the left, and Green happened to take it apart to catch it.

Green took advantage of the situation and pretended to cooperate with LaVine in the left corner to cover hand-to-hand, and Clay hurriedly stepped forward to grab the position.

Seeing this, LaVine stopped abruptly, turned around and ran straight to the basket, while Green hit the ground and passed the ball simultaneously, and the Kings played a 4SIDE tactic.

I saw LaVine holding the basketball with his right hand, kicking the ground to take off, holding the basketball high as if he was setting fire to the sky, and smashing towards the basket.

The audience held their breath for a short time, wondering if this rookie's first score was because the big windmill couldn't make a dunk with his arms?

In the blink of an eye, Bogut went to the basket and raised his arms to block it forcibly.

Millsap followed up and grabbed the rebound, landed and turned around and passed it to LeBron. The Warriors turned to launch a fast break and the Kings retreated.

In two seconds, LeBron dribbled the ball to the top of the arc. Seeing that Antetokounmpo took the initiative to shrink and retreat, he pulled up and shot without hesitation.

Antetokounmpo hurriedly swooped in, but he still took a slow step. The basketball slammed into the net with a bang, and the Warriors scored another two points.

Mike Brown was stunned on the spot, and whispered: "I feel like the Warrior LeBron has become another form, TQL!"

Su Yang curled his lips: "It seems that he just took a step back and relaxed LeBron's shooting, the efficiency has decreased, and he must fight first.

But without the ball, LeBron is also difficult to fight. "

　For the deacon "convincing people with virtue 177 plus more", thank you for "immediately being rewarded by super god".
