Chapter 474. The Confrontation between Liu Ren and James

Green missed a three-pointer, but it also scared the Cavaliers into a cold sweat. What happened to the Lakers today?What about organizing the offense in the frontcourt?What about Gasol?Mozgov was ready to bully his sister-in-law, but her sister-in-law was gone... The Cavaliers were ready to cut off Green's organization, but Green was no longer organized and went to be a three-pointer.

Where is the trust between people!

Fortunately, Green's three-pointer was a little crooked...

Mozgov and Love stuck the helpless Whiteside together, and Sefrosa grabbed the backcourt rebound. After grabbing the backcourt rebound, it was handed over to James.

On the other side, Irving quickly ran to the Lakers' half. James made a long pass to Irving. The Lakers' defense was completely attracted by Irving and James.

Sefolosha came to the bottom corner at this time, and Irving returned to the passer Sefolosha. The Lakers' defensive focus was not on Sefolosha, so Sefolosha threw a three-pointer as soon as he saw a chance. point……

hit!

Severosa has played really well after coming to the Cavaliers this season, or his playing characteristics are very suitable for the Cavaliers' overall play style. What the Cavaliers lacked at the time was this kind of wing with strong mobility, defense and three-pointers. Player, and Sefolosha is exactly this kind of player, so the Cavaliers made Sefolosha, and Sefolosha also helped the Cavaliers. The Cavaliers have played very well recently, except that the Cavaliers can play after Mozgov came. In addition to the twin towers, there is another very important point is the performance of Severosa. His stable three-pointers and first-class defense make up for the weakness of the Cavaliers' lack of perimeter defense.

Now that Severosa has hit a counterattack at the beginning, David Blatt is quite satisfied.

Severosa can have such a counterattack, which can remind the Lakers that they are not the only ones who have counterattacks, and the Cavaliers also have counterattacks, and the Cavaliers' counterattacks are not only the two-man turn of Irving and James in the past, but now there is also the option of three-pointers !

The Cavaliers led the Lakers by 7 points 2-5 in the opening game. The Lakers maintained the demeanor of a strong team, continued to follow the tactics steadily, and made quick free throws. This time, Clarkson took the ball and quickly approached the Cavaliers. .

Clarkson started again today. He cherished every start and played very hard, because he knew it was hard-won. He wanted to grab a starting point from a quasi-first-class point guard and a talented rookie. Neither is easy.

Clarkson was also merciless in the face of Irving. He passed Owen in one step, accelerated and jumped into the Cavaliers' penalty area. Facing the twin towers rising from the ground, it was a throw.

Liu Ren was surprised when he saw Clarkson's throw fall steadily into the basket: "This kid has expanded his skill pool again, why do you feel a faint sense of worry?"

Liu Ren smiled. Of course he wasn't afraid of Clarkson's progress, but the shock was real. Clarkson's progress was too fast, but LaVine's progress was not so obvious.

"It seems that Zack is going to train hard again." Liu Ren glanced at Lavin at the end of the bench, and sure enough, this guy's eyes were full of unwillingness and fighting spirit.

The Lakers finally got back two points, but today the Lakers' output point does not seem to be Kobe and Liu Ren. This tactic starting from role players also made the Cavaliers a little uncomfortable. Before the game, they prepared a tight defense to deal with it. Liu Ren and Kobe, but now that the game starts, the Lakers don't start attacking from these commonly used offensive methods.

As a result, most of the Cavaliers' defensive design has failed. Their defense is not the top one. The good defensive efficiency depends on countless simulation arrangements by the coaching staff before the game. Now the Lakers use Clark The arrangement of Sen, Whiteside, and Green for the offensive end point was destroyed.

It was the Cavaliers' turn to attack again, and at this time Owen still suppressed the rhythm to play.

Irving passed the ball to James immediately after halftime, and James did not directly attack with the ball.

Although James wanted to beat the Lakers, Liu Ren, and Kobe with wave after wave of offense, the Cavaliers still had the upper hand at this time, and the Lakers' defense was clearly guiding them to play fast, so he had to slow down the tempo.

James took the ball and passed it to Love who came in through an air cut. Love now has an obvious advantage over Green.

Love is also a smart person. He immediately uses this advantage to take a probing step and then directly rises up to make a mid-range shot.

Love hopes to score easily with this kind of offense, but his luck is not completely good today!
The basketball hit the rim and missed.

Once the Cavaliers miss this kind of shot, the opportunity for the Lakers will come immediately. The Lakers are playing fast today.What is needed is this situation where the other party does not advance.

Whiteside was protected by a rebound from the backcourt, but it was difficult to find Liu Ren at first, so he immediately passed the basketball to Clarkson who was holding the ball on the wing.

Just now, the success of breaking through the middle of the throw gave Clarkson a lot of confidence, so at this time, Clarkson took the ball with confidence and rushed towards the Cavaliers' half court.

Irving's defense is not good at all. Clarkson made a lightning breakthrough and moved laterally. After a few steps, Irving's footsteps became chaotic. Clarkson made another sudden stop and change direction. After entering the free throw line, he jumped to On the edge of the three-second zone on the left, Clarkson raised his hand at the bottom line and made another high throw.

"brush!"

Clarkson's lob hits again.He humiliated the Cavaliers' excellent point guard twice and also rewrote the score to 6-7.

The Cavaliers played very hard just now, and scored 7 points through strict tactical cooperation. Clarkson scored [-] points in a row and immediately turned the situation back.

I have to admit that it is much easier to score quickly than half-court!

In the opening game, Owen really became the weakness of the Cavaliers again. David Blatt was very helpless on the sidelines. Business, but the Cavaliers' backcourt defense would be a disaster without Sefolosha.

Irving was beaten so continuously by the opponent's rookie point guard at this time, and he was a little embarrassed, but he was an All-Star point guard after all.

I know that if I really fight one-on-one with the opponent, I will definitely be able to beat Clarkson, but even winning Clarkson in terms of statistics is a kind of damage to the team's overall tactics.

So when Irving came over at this time, he still commanded the team steadily without arrogance or rashness, so that the team's offense could run.

Mozgov attracts attention in the low post, Love comes out to pick and roll Sefolosha without the ball, but when he is blocked, he suddenly runs back and makes an air cut. Irving makes a decisive pass, Love receives the ball, and a big guy like him runs back. The threat was huge and attracted the Lakers' defense. Love achieved his goal. His wide-ranging transfer passed the ball to James on the other side of the basket.

James is on the weak side, with no supplementary defense or help defense, and it happens to be a one-on-one single against Liu Ren. This kind of one-on-one is the focus of the entire league.

This was a fierce confrontation, but the time spent by the two sides was very short. James didn't have the fancyness of Liu Ren's playing with the ball, only concise and deadly.

James took a quick tentative step, and then turned around with Liu Ren and accelerated straight to the inside. The two-footed step-up throw shot went straight to the basket. Even Liu Ren couldn't do anything about James' style of play.

This is a simple goal for James, but just such a goal integrates all the offensive essence that James has honed in his 12-year career.

Simple, but deadly!

After James scored, he stared at Liu Ren closely.

James looked at Liu Ren expectantly. He wanted Liu Ren to challenge him one-on-one because of this match. In this way, his goal would be achieved, and the Lakers' elusive offensive routine would be broken by Liu Ren himself. .

It was not easy for James to attack with all his strength just now. He needed to concentrate on doing those movements with all his strength.

Liu Ren's [-]-meter sprint style of play is the same as that of those short-distance track and field athletes. Anyone who has played basketball and participated in short jackets knows that the [-]-meter sprint is very different from the accelerated breakthrough of basketball , It seems that the sprint is only [-] meters, but the consumption is not lower than playing half a quarter.

However, there are still opportunities to rest on the basketball court. Going to the pick-and-roll and running slowly are all rests.

James' plan is very clear, that is, to use all his strength to lure Liu Ren's single-handed thinking.

Perhaps James' scheme succeeded. When the Lakers made another fast serve, Liu Ren came to the top arc to ask for the ball.

Liu Ren put on a singles stance this time, and the Cavaliers' defensive center of gravity suddenly shifted towards Liu Ren.

Liu Ren dribbled the ball back and forth outside the three-point line, Sefulosa stuck to the defense tightly, Liu Ren walked to a 45-degree angle, and suddenly rushed inside.

A savage breakthrough, a lame turn, and when turning around, he swung the ball with his right hand and took three big strides!

Domestic fans saw Liu Ren's offensive action, and thought of James' attack in the last round. Looking at Liu Ren's poor attack this time, four words popped up in their minds: Dong Shi imitated...

Liu Ren pushed the opponent's defense to the edge of the three-second zone on the right. Mozgov had to come to defend, and James from the right corner also came.

Liu Ren took one step, two steps, and the third step jumped high. Just as the opponent's attention was on Liu Ren, Liu Ren made a false throw and passed it to Whiteside who had returned to the reasonable collision zone.

Whiteside made a one-handed dunk.

Not fooled!James saw that the way Liu Ren came to counterattack was to cooperate with his teammates instead of doing it alone. At that time, Liu Ren had the opportunity to do it alone. Although the offensive action just now was imitating, and the turn was quite unskilled, but Relying on physical fitness is still successful, and it is not impossible to wave against three people.

But Liu Ren didn't. Liu Ren's choice made James feel that the Lakers were serious about this game.

I have to say that James feels very excited, evenly matched!
