After analyzing James's videos with the coach for a whole morning, it is easy to find his offensive choices and shortcomings.
James, a sophomore, is still very unstable in mid-range and long-range shots.
He relies on his physical talent to rush around. As long as you can find a way to slow him down,
Chandler and Roy in the Nets' restricted area can make him suffer.
This is a test of Jefferson's defensive ability.
James is no joke when he attacks. He is full of muscles, like a small tank, and can easily carry Jefferson into the restricted area.
Fortunately, the Nets coach Frank's requirement is only to slow down and prevent James from speeding up. Without speed, James' threat will naturally be reduced by more than half.
If you want to defend completely, you can only imitate the Rockets of that year and pair the Nets' front line with Artest and Battier to effectively lock James.
This is also the main reason why the Rockets were more restrained against the Cavaliers.
The first ball was blocked, and he couldn't even hold his face. James was nagging along the way, and he didn't have the demeanor of the future No. 1 in the league at all.
The Nets have the ball.
Carter made a long-distance jump shot under Roy's cover.
James was very strict today and immediately pointed at Jeff McGinnis, who was mainly defending Carter, and told him not to slack off.
You should know that James chose to defend Kidd today. Kidd, who has very low offensive ability and desire, did not attack.
You heard it right. The small forward went to defend the point guard. James' reason was very strong. He called it to maintain physical strength and touch for the offensive end!
This is very different from Chris Bosh in the previous game.
You should know that Bosh, no matter how petty he is, thinks he is the boss of the team. He wants to defend and strangle Roy, the top scorer on the opposite side. Although he did not succeed, at least he had the courage to face it.
And James' idea: I want to choose someone who is easy to bully to keep my physical strength and maintain the physical strength to dribble for 20 seconds when attacking.
Kidd saw the weakness of the Cavaliers, and began to speed up the offensive rhythm and organize the defense under the coach's signal.
Your young James has no outside shooting ability, so you naturally have to lock the inside line tightly.
After several rounds of attempts to break through and being blocked, James finally chose the easiest way, a three-point jump shot!
The 03 No. 1 pick made three consecutive shots, and missed again under the interference of Jefferson.
It felt like Cleveland's blacksmith shop was about to open, and the score was gradually pulled away by the Nets.
Cavs coach Silas immediately called a timeout, and the siege of the Cavaliers' inside line just hit their weak spot.
He replaced Eric Snow with Lucios Harris, adding a three-point shooter to open up space for James to break through.
Back on the court, the Nets' defense was still targeting James.
However, unlike players like Snow who had no three-point shooting range, Kidd could not completely abandon him and double-team James when Harris was on the court.
James failed to break through and passed the ball to Ilgauskas under the basket.
Big Z may not be the best center in the league, but he was selected to the All-Star Game for two consecutive years, which is not comparable to the current boxing champion.
Using footsteps and rhythm, the jumping man Chandler still couldn't withstand the teasing of an old driver like Ilgauskas.
After being shaken up by him, Big Z made a steady jump shot.
Today's Nets' focus is all on James, which makes Big Z much less stressed.
He made 3 of 5 shots in this game and scored 8 points.
Compared to James carrying cement into the court, he seems calm and elegant.
The person defending Roy today is Drew Gooden. His defense is only average, and his height is exaggerated.
Official data shows that he is 2.08 meters tall with shoes, but in fact he should be only 2.03 meters tall. No wonder it has been rumored that his height is only 2.01 meters tall.
Roy can clearly feel that his height is exaggerated. At least when standing next to him, he can see that he is more than half a head taller than him.
As the saying goes, if you don’t have a good figure, you can make up for it with speed.
I’m sorry, he doesn’t have that either. He has the standard speed of a No. 4 position, but not the height of a No. 4 position.
Roy gets the ball and breaks through him. It’s so easy. He doesn’t even need a fake move. He takes two big steps and walks over directly. He can only watch Roy rush to Big Z.
Big Z on the defensive end is not as relaxed as on the offensive end.
The Cavaliers’ defense is like a dilapidated thatched house ushering in a storm, with loopholes everywhere.
The basket is completely dependent on Big Z. Big Z is tall to begin with. How long can his physical strength last?
One person can never defend two people. This time, Roy's fake pass tricked the clumsy Lithuanian center.
He made a light layup and scored two points.
James, who was not far away, looked at Gooden with disgust. How could he compete with him for the championship with this level?
It seems that I still need to make some demands on the team in the middle of the season.
I feel so tired when I look at him again.Big Z in the head, James decisively went over to comfort his teammates and said that he would help with defense.
Then he continued to fight with Kidd in the next round and watched the team's four-man defense.
Carter's three-pointer bounced out of the frame due to the interference of Jeff McGinnis.
Big Z couldn't grab the two inside players of the Nets by himself, and the defensive rebound was pushed out of his hand by Chandler.
Seeing that it was about to go out of bounds, Roy didn't care so much and flew out of bounds, hooking the ball to Jefferson not far away with his fingertips.
And he rushed to the audience seats by inertia.
Between the white old man in the first row and the fierce blonde sister with a shock-absorbing airbag next to him,
In a flash, Roy decisively chose the latter. Roy could swear that he definitely didn't choose the big sister on purpose, mainly because he was afraid of hitting the old man.
Buried his head in the shock-absorbing airbag to avoid injury,
The charming sister hugged Roy tightly, and although her face was red, she subconsciously hugged Roy's hand tighter,
Suffocating!
This is definitely the strongest defense Roy has ever encountered in his life, and he can hardly breathe!
Roy supported himself on the ground with one hand and patted the blonde sister's arm with the other hand, signaling her to let him go.
The one holding Roy slowly let go, allowing Roy to see the light of day again. It was really dangerous!
Looking back at the court, Jefferson had already broken through to the basket with the ball. Under the double-team of Big Z and Gooden, he passed the ball to Chandler with his back.
After Chandler got the ball, he directly picked up the basketball, used his legs to jump into the air and dunked the ball into the basket.
"Damn, you teammates, I risked my life to save the ball, but you attacked without waiting for me to come back,"
You all blinked at me, what does it mean?
"I'm not that kind of person. Women will only affect my dribbling speed!"
Roy answered his teammates' questions confidently. He must make his position clear at this critical moment!
Chandler rushed over and hugged Roy's shoulders with a lewd look on his face.
"Good vision. The team should leave Cleveland tomorrow. I will ask the coach for leave for you."
What are these LSPs thinking!
Roy ignored the laughter of the group of people.
James of the Cavaliers on the opposite side was almost furious when he saw all this.
Do you still have professional ethics? This is my home court and my fans!
Looking at the shy look of the female fan, it feels that the fans of the Cavaliers will be at least -1 tonight.
Back to the offensive end, James finally caught the opportunity when Roy was defending and rushed into the inside with the ball.
Unfortunately, the layup that was sure to win this time bounced out of the frame again.
Fortunately, Big Z grabbed the rebound, and Roy, who quickly retreated to defense, interfered with Big Z's shot.
"Bang"
Even the usually steady Big Z failed to hit the target, and Roy grabbed the rebound.
Roy took the ball again and signaled his teammates to move away. His singles made the Cavaliers very uncomfortable.
You said he was not defending, but he had already committed 4 fouls. You said he was defending, but Roy on the other side had already scored 26 points.
The progress of the game was as the Nets blossomed collectively, and the score gradually opened up.
Although James relied on Jefferson's physical strength to decline in the fourth quarter, James relied on the still powerful breakthrough to score 10 points.
But the firepower of the Nets cannot be compensated by the mere 10 points.
Under the round-robin battles,
In the second half of the fourth quarter, James gradually ran out of physical strength.
Fortunately, his data has reached 25 points, 10 rebounds and 3 assists.
Basically completed today's data task.
Why are there so few assists? It's because the Cavaliers' three-point shooting rate on the outside is really average.
And the inside line has no offensive ability except Ilgauskas.
Today's Nets are strictly guarding the inside line. Whether it is Valanciunas or Gooden, they are big eaters of cakes, and it has nothing to do with independent attacks.
"Waste, these CBA teammates are really tiring. Why don't they have teammates who can score and win by just assisting me and scoring 30 points?"
James fell into deep thought.
I'm afraid I won't be able to go far in the East with these people. My road to the championship is still long and arduous.
The only good news for James is that Roy only scored 28 points, 11 rebounds and 3 blocks this year,
The gap with himself is not big, although Roy didn't play for nearly half of the fourth quarter,
But so what, those data-oriented people don't watch the game but the data. After watching the game data, they will only think that the two are the same!
It's not my loss if the Cavaliers lose. If I have two more Hall of Fame teammates, I can also be the first in the East!
With James leaving the court in the last half minute, the game officially entered garbage time,
98 to 82,
The Nets easily defeated the Cavaliers in a back-to-back away game and came to 11The winning streak further consolidated the team's first place ranking in the Eastern Conference.
