NBA villain

Chapter 282 is approaching
Kobe showed his favor to Yang Di also because of the poor performance of the Lakers inside this season.

Grant, who was traded from the Heat, has declined too significantly this season. He averaged only 3.8 points and 3.7 rebounds per game. He lost his status in the heart of the head coach and even became a substitute.

Although Chris Mihm is a young player, he has excellent height, weight and wingspan. He can resist people in the paint. Instead, he surpassed Grant and secured the Lakers' starting lineup in the second half of the season.Odom is another insider of the Lakers. When Kobe was strictly guarded, he was the second point of attack.

After all, Caron Butler's position is the most embarrassing.

Among the many old Heat players, he and Kobe's offensive choices overlap somewhat. On the one hand, he also likes mid-range jumpers. The ball shooting rate is not high, and it cannot open up space for Kobe well.

Therefore, the Lakers' record is very bad, and they were even overtaken by the Clippers, who once needed to look up to them in the same city.

The top spot in the Western Conference is still firmly occupied by the Suns. The Suns have improved so much this season, as if the Phoenix people bought the lottery and suddenly took off.

But how well Solar will perform in the playoffs will still be a big question mark.

Among the teams chasing the top eight in the West, the Warriors, Nuggets, Grizzlies and Timberwolves have similar records.The second place in the West is the Spurs. The Spurs have proved their stable performance in recent years, so no one wants to touch such a tough bone in the playoffs, so the seventh in the West is actually not as attractive as the eighth in the West.

The Warriors are unwilling to become sixth in the West, because if they are sixth in the West, they are likely to play against the Supersonics or the Mavericks.

Although they just won the Mavericks not long ago, the outside shooting ability of these two teams is too strong. For a team like the Warriors with average outside defense, encountering such a convulsive team is basically bad luck.In addition, the rebounds ejected from outside shots bounce farther, and it is difficult for Yang Di to protect the backcourt rebounds in general, and it is difficult to play his biggest advantage.

Therefore, deep down in Montgomery's heart, he hopes that the Warriors would rather enter the playoffs as the eighth in the West, even if they are playing against the top.

But he just thought about it. With the Grizzlies and Timberwolves chasing fiercely, he didn't dare to give up any game easily.

On April 4, the NCAA finals came to an end.

The North Carolina Four Elite led the North Carolina team to win the NCAA National Championship. That is to say, after this game, these four people rushed into the top fourteen of the draft prediction network, and then announced their participation in this year's draft.

Therefore, this year's draft is more popular than last year, and it is called the big year of the draft.

Marvin Williams, who has excellent physical fitness, is likely to become the No. 05 pick in the NBA draft in [-]. We can see what kind of players the team that gets the No. [-] pick will need. In short, with his current achievements, abilities, and reputation, Definitely won't fall out of the top three.

The NBA deliberately suspended the game that day and did not play a game to make way for the NCAA Finals.

The regular season of the 04-05 season ended on April 4. At this time, there are less than two weeks before the end day. The Warriors will face the Trail Blazers on April 20.

The situation of the Blazers is very bad. So far this season, they have only a record of 25 wins and 53 losses, which is the fifth from the bottom in the league. The West is better than the Jazz and Hornets.

The Warriors easily defeated the Trail Blazers 110 to 97. Yang Di had 19 points and 14 rebounds.

On April 4, the Warriors flew to Cleveland in the east and defeated the Cavaliers away.

James scored a game-high 33 points and sent 8 assists, while Yang Di scored 12 points and 18 rebounds.

"It feels like I'm not going to make it to the playoffs again!"

After the game, James invited Yang Di out for supper, and then complained to him. Recently, the Cavaliers lost several games in a row, and their record fell to ninth in the Eastern Conference. He was under a lot of pressure.

"There is still hope." Yang Di could only comfort James.

The situation of the Cavaliers and the Warriors is similar, but even after the Warriors traded for Davis, they only lost the airport run-in match slightly, and the rest of the games returned to normal winning percentages, and the record was still stable in the top eight. It was a bit out of touch, and was overtaken by the Wizards, 76ers and other teams.

"The key is still the Philadelphia 76ers."

James said, "After the exchange for Chris Webber, the overall strength of the 76ers has increased significantly. The partnership between Allen Iverson and Chris Webber, two offensive superstars, the 76ers' offensive Fluency is at least much better than before.”

Yang Di smiled and said: "Your Cavaliers' inside defense is too bad. Although Big Z is tall, he is not very effective in defending against pick-and-rolls. Nowadays, insiders in the league are becoming faster and stronger. I can jump more and more, but my mobility is not good, and it is difficult to keep up with others in small ball tactics."

"I want to play inside when you say that." James laughed and said jokingly: "If I can grow another five centimeters taller."

"There's nothing wrong with your strength playing inside."

"Forget it, the inside is too tiring. The outside is better, and if you attack inside, you must master the back-up skills. My back-up ability is average, and I am best at breaking through the frame. Playing inside is tantamount to abolishing what I am best at. Skill."

James has a high basketball IQ, and he analyzes his strengths and weaknesses with a very clear mind.

He also helped Yang Di analyze where Yang Di should improve himself.

"It should be the passing ability to break double-teams. Now you occasionally serve as the distribution point for the Warriors inside. When attacking, you also like to cheat the opponent's position by dribbling and fake moves. But when you encounter double-teams, it is difficult to go. Pass the ball to the most advantageous player position on the field in time, and if there is a pass, it will be more difficult for the opponent to defend."

"There is also dribble shooting. I think your catch-and-shoot mid-range jumper is already very stable. If you can master dribble shooting, step-back shooting, or turning over jump shots, which are relatively high-tech shots, then your face The frame attack method is very comprehensive, and there must be no problem averaging 20+ per game."

As soon as James calculated, Yang Di has a bright future, and there are many areas that can be improved rapidly through targeted training.

Yang Di listened carefully to James' suggestion, and also threw out his long-standing troubles, "LeBron, what do you think of me playing outside?"

"Play outside?" James was taken aback, and looked at Yang Di. He didn't know why Yang Di suddenly had such an idea. If it spread, everyone would definitely go crazy. This is the rebounding king in the NBA today!

"Because my weight is too light, and in order to maintain mobility, it is difficult for me to gain weight. On the one hand, there will be some hidden dangers of injury in long-term confrontation. On the other hand, it is also because I feel that I can expand my offensive area, but I can't Playing outside, playing a four position like Garnett is definitely no problem."

"You want to be a player like Garnett?"

"No, I don't want to imitate him to play. I'm still thinking about it. I want to learn more skills. Your suggestion just now makes sense, passing and more advanced shooting skills."

"That's right." James nodded and said with a smile: "Defense wins championships, and defense drives offense."
