NBA: I am a master dealer

Chapter 140 An old mentor who can never repay his kindness!
but.

Being able to directly cut off the advantage of LeBron's stealth is definitely a great thing for the Heat.

Anyway, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.

According to Spoelstra's defensive strategy against James, in fact, the Heat's defense against James has been very good.

It is precisely because they restrained LeBron's play that they can lead the Cavaliers all the way.

Now that James' stealth advantage is gone, their blockade of James will undoubtedly become stronger.

of course.

This definitely doesn't mean it's over.

The reason why superstars can be called superstars is that they have done things that others seem to be unable to do.

Well known.

James can become No.1 in the league because he has an almost unstoppable scoring method.

That's right.

It is to hit the basket after the pick-and-roll.

Everyone knows that James is about to pick and roll, and everyone knows that James will break through after the pick and roll.

Even everyone knows that James cannot be rushed.

Once it takes off, James will be unstoppable, really unstoppable.

but……

Even if the whole world knows, there is still no team that can really kill LeBron unless he kills himself...

That's why LeBron is a superstar.

Besides.

LeBron has other arsenals.

For example, switching fast breaks.

That is to say, the fast break that fans often ridicule is as fierce as a tiger.

James' defensive conversion ability is definitely at a historical level. As long as you make mistakes in front of him, it is equivalent to sending points.

Even if you don't make a mistake, as long as you don't pay attention or your concentration is not enough, James' fast break can also make you pay a heavy price.

Although there is suspicion of sacrificing defense, this is a nail that nails you and must not be ignored.

Like Xue Liancheng's previous proposal to let Wade be the defensive counterattack arrow, he can average an extra four or five points per game for the Heat.

Don't underestimate these four or five points, the improvement to the team's overall offense is absolutely immeasurable.

In many cases, the momentum comes from these four or five points.

As long as the Heat make one or two mistakes next, plus one or two delays in retreating in time, if they are all caught by James, then the score can be recovered by more than half immediately.

Another example is breaking through the ball.

This is another weapon that James can kill, and it is also of historical level.

Thus was born a special tactic called "one star four shots".

But the basis for this weapon to work comes from James' unstoppable breakthrough ability.

Use your invincible breakthrough ability to tear your defense line. In this case, as long as you double-team, you will definitely miss someone.

As long as there are missing people, it is an opportunity.

At this time, it is a test of whether the teammates can grasp it.

And if you don't double-team?
That's great.

James can take off on the spot by himself, and dunk dunks from the frame.

And passing ability.

James' vision and passing skills are excellent, even better than many traditional point guards, and his grasp of passing timing is also very good.

Besides.

There are also a series of scoring methods such as low-post singles, finishing at the basket, mid-range jumpers, and three-point threats, which are actually above the standard.

But for the dazzling historical-level breakthrough, these offensive methods are not worth mentioning, completely overshadowed by the light of the breakthrough.

But no matter what the offensive method is, James has a huge problem, that is, stealing and walking.

Just like in the two rounds just now, if both of them were called out for walking violations, the Cavaliers would lose 4 points and James would make 2 more turnovers.

If the referee wants to catch him now, James' power will be greatly reduced.

Isn't this a great thing for the Heat?

Xue Liancheng restrained his thoughts.

Takes Anderson's serve.

Quickly advance to the frontcourt, James still comes to lead him.

This time.

He is going to really try to see how powerful the card breakthrough is, can it be used as a regular scoring method?

Called the pick and roll.

bypassed.

Stuck in place.

No one to help.

Xue Liancheng went straight to the basket.

Brake hard.

He shook his hand low.

James wasn't fooled, he just reached out to cover it.

And the result was unexpected.

Xue Liancheng flew up immediately.

The body leans forward, and the right hand is changed to the left hand in the air, and then the board is wiped.

Go in!

This time.

James' face was completely ugly.

This……

This this……

How did you make a move?
Not right!

In his prediction, Xue Liancheng will use his footsteps to create mobile opportunities as before, and finally complete the end.

result……

Unexpected.

Xue Liancheng rushed directly to the basket and made a shot.

When he reacted, he found that there was no chance to block the shot, or to be more precise, there was no place to take off.

When he chased after him, he was next to Xue Liancheng, and after Xue Liancheng took off, his body leaned forward, no matter how high he jumped, he couldn't reach it.

If you want to reach up to complete the block, unless you hit Xue Liancheng.

But doing so is a clear foul, not only will Xue Liancheng be sent to the free throw line, but it may also be a 2+1.

and so.

From the beginning to the end, he just stretched out his hand, and didn't move anything else...

It's really... Wohuo!

For three consecutive rounds, he failed to defend, which made him lose face.

wrong……

Should be two rounds.

After all, Xue Liancheng was obviously suspected of stealing in the round just now.

But even if there were only two rounds, he couldn't accept it, his old face was burning with pain.

Just now he told Le Fu not to meddle in his own business, to be optimistic about his own people, and threatened that he would be able to take care of Xue Liancheng.

result.

Slap on the face.

For a moment, he doubted whether his ability to predict had declined.

In fact.

The source of prediction is not only the judgment of the opponent's body, but more importantly, the psychological grasp of the opponent, which is an invisible and intangible thing.

For example, if you think it's time for him to shoot in this position, combined with the opponent's body movements, the feedback is called pre-judgment.

And obviously.

James didn't grasp Xue Liancheng's psychology.

Even the opposite.

Xue Liancheng grasped James' psychology.

In the first two rounds, he used feints to successfully fool James.

So this round, James will definitely be prepared for this.

As a result, he had to change his strategy.

After the pick-and-roll screen, he has actually formed a clear breakthrough line in his mind.

That's right!

From the beginning, he planned to rush to the basket and wipe the board.

only.

On that basis, he first brakes to bring both himself and James to a stop.

One is to confuse James.

And the main thing is to stop James.

This is a crucial step.

If James doesn't stop, then he will die for a layup, and it will be a chasing cap.

Even if James jumps later than him, the coverage of James rushing up is enough to make him invisible.

Second, use your body to lock in position and make sure James is right behind him.

If it is on the side, it is entirely possible for James to block him.

After making sure to get James stuck behind him, he leaned forward and laid his body sideways for a second layer of protection.

This is a huge shooting space.

If James wants to complete the block, he can only take off on the spot. If he takes off on the spot, James' coverage will fall off the cliff.

Coupled with his body leaning forward and sideways, if James wants to seal on the edge of the backboard, he must press his body.

Violating his cylinder is a proper foul.

This series of combinations.

This caused James to watch him shoot without even having the chance to jump up and block the shot.

It's a combination of basketball IQ and the ability to read the game.

Ok……

of course.

The animation skills in the mind are the biggest contributors.

After all, it is difficult for ordinary people to accurately lock the defensive player behind him, but he has a unique natural advantage and clearly knows every move of the defensive player.

in this way.

He can use his body to make James helpless.

After several rounds of testing.

no doubt.

He confirmed that his card position breakthrough Dafa can already be included in the ranks of conventional breakthrough methods.

such……

His offensive arsenal has received another qualitative enhancement.

If he can practice the maze pace that Uncle Wei taught him well, these skills should be enough for him to become an All-Star player.

Think so.

He returns quickly.

Knights attack.

James still chooses to come by himself, and he is still a strong pick-and-roll.

but.

This time it didn't go so smoothly. The Heat's defensive method of lining up the wall and frantically pinching James didn't give you a gap to break in at all.

James took two steps, unable to rush up.

You can only choose to jump up and pass the ball.

After all, the referee had just warned him to be strict with walking. Although he was No. 1 in the league, he didn't dare to jump again or turn around against the wind.

In case of being blown away again, it will be two in a row.

How embarrassing!
This is the Christmas War, how many pairs of eyes are staring at it.

pity.

Le Fu, who has been cold for a long time, feels really cold to the touch, and he strikes iron with three points.

Look back.

Xue Liancheng wanted to reproduce the card position and break through Dafa, but after James rushed in, he yelled and asked his teammates to help defend.

No matter how hard it is, the point difference will be 20+.

Xue Liancheng had no choice but to pass the ball.

same.

The Heat may not have touched the ball for a long time, and it feels cold.

Sean Williams is also iron.

Next.

The two sides engaged in brutal hand-to-hand combat.

The speed of supplementing and assisting defenses between each other also quickly increased. Even if a breakthrough opened up a little space, it was immediately filled.

This made it extremely difficult for both sides to score, and it felt like entering the playoffs mode early.

Even in terms of suffocation alone, it has reached the stage of the finals.

The cheering and boos of the audience made the atmosphere even more enthusiastic.

To score 2 points, it is almost necessary to fight with my life.

The point difference has been maintained at 14 points, 16 points, 14 points, and repeated horizontal jumps.

No one can help anyone.

No one can penetrate the opponent's line of defense at once.

The stars of both sides also failed to perform as superstars.

There is no fast break and counterattack, he can't rush after the pick-and-roll breaks through, he is fierce in assisting defense in low post singles, he feels terrible in three-pointers, and he is very strict in stealing steps. A series of factors add up to make it difficult for James to move an inch.

It's really hard to move an inch.

Xue Liancheng was similar. He was flanked when he broke through, and he couldn't completely get rid of James in his running position.

But he didn't have any offensive ability, and he still had to keep his only offensive weapon, the 100% hit skill.

They were pretty much a pair.

of course.

This is in terms of offensive performance.

In fact, the defensive pressure Xue Liancheng and James encountered was worlds apart.

James still has a greater contribution and influence on the team.

But also limited.

After all, everyone can't score goals, and they can't score. There is a Mao contribution!
On the contrary, Wade and Irving can occasionally use breakthrough points to maintain the situation.

of course.

only occasionally...

There are 2 minutes and 18 seconds left before halftime.

Blatter called a timeout.

It's finally time to end.

Xue Liancheng heaved a sigh of relief and realized that he was already dripping with sweat, so he picked up a towel and wiped it off.

Si Bo had already walked over, "Xue, how do you feel?"

Xue Liancheng was stunned for a moment, then panted and replied, "I feel fine."

This game is the most intense game he has encountered since entering the NBA, not one of them.

Because James kept pestering him.

The number of physical contact between the two, the number of breakthroughs and the mileage of his movement are definitely beyond the record.

Are you not tired?

That is impossible.

And this is just halftime.

If it is full, it is really a huge test.

Si Bo said seriously, "Xue, I need to know your physical condition, so tell me the truth."

Xue Liancheng shook his head bitterly, "If I go on at this intensity, my hand feeling will become very bad."

At that time, the shooting action will be deformed, how can it not be bad?

Spoel nodded heavily, "It seems...we have to find a way to end the game. The longer it is delayed, the more disadvantageous it will be."

talking.

He glanced at Uncle Wei.

It is clear.

If the beating continues like this, Uncle Wei's knees can't stand it anymore.

At the beginning of this season, Wade's playing time rarely exceeded 35 minutes. This is the protection of Wade by the coaching staff.

But even with that protection, Wade had to truce with knee problems every now and then.

This side shows a problem. Wade's physical condition is not optimistic, and he really can't maintain a high-intensity game for more than 40 minutes.

Even if Wade is forced to play for 40 minutes, the effect is not satisfactory.

When the wear and tear is severe, Wade will have to take a truce to recuperate, so the loss outweighs the gain.

and so.

In this game, we must find a way to completely open the score.

It is best to pull to 20+ at halftime.

The knight would have to collapse.

As long as morale collapses, the rhythm of the game will drop immediately, and the intensity will naturally not be so great.

Xue Liancheng frowned and asked, "Sir, what do you want to do?"

Sipo frowned and pondered for a moment, "Is there any problem with shooting three-pointers now?"

Xue Liancheng replied, "There should be some accuracy."

Spoel nodded, "Then, I will design two sets of three-point tactics for you. You try to run out, and I will let Dwyane pass the ball to you."

Xue Liancheng's eyes lit up, and he immediately thought of the elevator door tactics, "I don't know if sir, have you watched the Golden State Warriors game?"

With the current strength of the two sides' defense and supplementary defense, he is not sure whether the elevator door tactic will work.

But it’s not impossible to try.

Spot paused for a moment, and his eyes lighted up slightly, "You mean, the tactic of lining up a wall to block people for Stephen Curry?"

Xue Liancheng nodded heavily, "Yes."

It seems that Spoelstra still has some research on other teams.

The current elevator door tactic is just a rough version, and it hasn't become famous yet, but Sipo can think of it instantly.

It is conceivable that Spoelstra usually studies other teams a lot.

Spoelstra thought for a moment and said, "Okay, let's arrange this tactic."

The words fall.

Spoelstra immediately beckoned to let all the players come over, picked up the tactical board, and began to write and draw: "Anderson, Sean, you two pay attention to your position, stand here, remember, you must press the defensive players in the penalty area Inside, and then wait for Xue Pao to come over, as soon as he passes through, you will immediately encircle him."

"Lol, you go to the bottom corner here and just stand there."

"Devine, you hold the ball on the other side, pay attention to Xue's running position, once Xue rushes out, pass it immediately."

"Xue, serve the ball, slip to the baseline after serving the ball, and then rush through the wall."

"Do you understand?"

Finally, Shiba asked in a deep voice.

Everyone nodded, "Understood."

"very good."

Spot paused, looked at Xue Liancheng, "Xue, do you have anything to add?"

Xue Liancheng was stunned for a moment, then slowly shook his head, "No."

At this moment.

The eyes of the crowd looking at Xue Liancheng changed slightly.

It is not surprising that tactics are specially arranged for Xue Liancheng.

Because Xue Liancheng has grown into the core figure of the team.

But after Si Bo arranged the tactics, he specifically asked Xue Liancheng for his opinion, which was very surprising.

This is the real first-core treatment!

Xue Liancheng actually enjoyed it.

So……

Does it mean that the team's tactical position has completely tilted towards Xue Liancheng?

In other words, Xue Liancheng is going to take over the first core?
After everyone watched Xue Liancheng, they looked at Wade again.

Even Xue Liancheng subconsciously glanced at Uncle Wei.

Because he also realized this problem immediately, and wanted to see how Uncle Wei would react.

result.

Uncle Wei didn't have any abnormalities, not even a change in his expression, he seemed to have acquiesced to this.

"Okay, let's play then."

Si Bo clapped his hands, as if he didn't realize what his actions just now meant.

But how could Sipo not know?
As the head coach of the team who has coached for several years, it is impossible to be unclear about the unspoken rules in the team.

But Sipo made such a low-level mistake at this time.

It simply shouldn't be.

Xue Liancheng even felt that Si Bo did this on purpose...

That's right!

is intentional.

The old benefactor is planning to help him to the top?

And doing this gesture is just to test and test Wade.

if it is like this……

At this thought, Xue Liancheng couldn't help being elated.

It's really his old teacher!

An old mentor who can never repay his kindness!
