Chapter 114 Educate the little emperor!
The knights began to attack.

Jeff McGinnis dribbled across half court and passed the ball directly to James.

"LeBron James received the ball, Big Z came to the high post, and LaFrentz was not in the restricted area at this time, but came to the left bottom corner outside the three-point line."

"This lineup of the Cavaliers is really weird!"

Amy John, who was commentating on the scene, was also a little surprised when she saw this scene.

The Cavaliers' lineup is really too weird.

Although there is no shortage of teams in the NBA that have three-point shooting skills.

For example, when the OK combination established its dynasty, they brought in power forward Robert Horry, who was accurate in three-point shooting, to help the Sharks see the offensive space.

but……

This style of play, where even the center gives up the restricted area, is indeed very rare in the NBA!

When Cavaliers head coach Paul Silas saw this scene, he also began to look forward to it.

After James returned from the Olympics, he discussed with Silas and prepared to learn from Lin Yu and completely transform into an organizing forward.

After Silas studied Lin Yu's video, he encountered several problems.

First of all, James's one-on-one ability cannot attract double-teaming like Lin Yu.

Lin Yu has a strong ability to attract double-teaming in the Olympic Games.

A one-on-one match can only be described as unsolvable.

James, who is only in his second year, naturally cannot achieve the same level of one-on-one play and attract double-teaming as Lin Yu.

Taking this into consideration, Silas used Big Z to design this high-post pick-and-roll tactic for James.

With a career long two-point shooting percentage of 40.8%, no team dares to leave Big Z open.

James used Big Z's pick-and-roll to directly break through Okur.

Although Okur can play at the four or five positions, his speed cannot keep up with James.

After James successfully broke through Okur, facing the empty basket, he directly performed a tomahawk slam dunk.

Bang!

After landing, James yelled excitedly!

"LeBron James! Cleveland's chosen one! Responded to Lin Yu with a dunk!"

"As soon as the game started, the two protagonists started to compete with each other! This game is destined to be a fierce duel!"

Mike Brin also became excited at this time.

When Lin Yu saw this scene, he had to admit that the Cavaliers team was indeed dragged down by the small market to some extent.

Many of James' fans often complain that during the Cavaliers 1.0 era, the Cavaliers management did not find good helpers for James.

In fact, this is indeed unfair to the Cavaliers management, because they did look for it.

And he is the kind of helper that James is most suitable for.

Gentleman Ray and Michael Reed, two famous three-point shooters in the league, were both considered for recruitment by the Cavaliers in their original history.

But the problem is that the two of them simply look down on the Cavaliers, a small-market team.

In this history, after noticing Lin Yu's playing style, James and the Cavaliers quickly changed their playing style.

It was created for James and is very suitable for James' 'beggar version of one star'.

But Lin Yu really doesn't care. If it were James at his peak, perhaps such a lineup would be very lethal.

but now……

All I can say is that James still needs to level up.

Coach Lu once again played as a dribbling guard at this time.

Coach Lu: I am very familiar with this job. This is what I did when I was partnered with Kobe on the Lakers. Please let me continue to do this in the future.

As a person with high emotional intelligence, Coach Lu is very clear.

The celebrity audiences and Celtics legends who came to the scene today were all prepared for Lin Yu.

As supporting roles, it is natural for them not to overshadow the main cast.

After Coach Lu gave the ball to Lin Yu, he took the initiative to run to the right corner to help Lin Yu create space for offense.

Lin Yu held the ball in a high position, and LaFrentz also started talking trash at this time.

"Lin Yu, don't think you'll shake me off for the second time! I'll defeat you completely! Let the entire Meili family know what kind of failure you'll suffer!" "Has anyone ever said that you talk a lot?"

what! ?

Before LaFrentz could even rant, Lin Yu had already pulled up in front of him.

As the third overall pick in 98, LaFrentz's talent is naturally outstanding.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been ranked second in the blocked shots list during his peak period.

But now he is no longer at his peak. Affected by injuries, LaFrentz averaged 1.2 blocks per game this season, which is much worse than his peak.

Lin Yu pulled up directly in front of LaFrentz, and LaFrentz was unable to block it.

He could only watch Lin Yu complete his move.

The basketball drew a beautiful arc.

Swish!
Hollow into the net.

"Lin Yu scored against LaFrentz again! He scored 4 points in a row at the start!"

"Scottie, from what we can see right now, it seems that LaFrentz can't restrict Lin Yu at all?"

Mike Brin asked Mr. Pi while explaining.

Mr. Pi's face turned dark at this moment.

He also didn't expect that Laforentz was like a defensive sieve at this time and did not restrict Lin Yu at all.

"The game has just started, and there are still more than 40 minutes left. Don't worry, let's just wait and see!"

Silas, who was on the sidelines, frowned involuntarily when he saw Lin Yu scoring continuously.

As the head coach of the Cavaliers, it is natural that Silas has not studied Lin Yu.

Unlike James' talent, Lin Yu's talent is even more terrifying!
To some extent, Lin Yu himself is a natural mismatch player.

With speed comparable to that of a guard, Lin Yu can easily pass most opponents of the same height.

If a guard is sent to defend Lin Yu, Lin Yu can use his arm span advantage to directly pull up the ball.

The purpose of the pick-and-roll tactic is to create opportunities for players to play small against big, or big against small.

But Lin Yu's talent determines that no matter who he plays against, he will basically be out of position!
Once double-teamed, Lin Yu can still pass the ball.

In this situation, Silas was also troubled about how to deal with Lin Yu.

"The Cavaliers continue to attack, using the high pick-and-roll tactic again. The player the Celtics switched out this time is Lin Yu!"

"Lin Yu and LeBron James! The two protagonists of this game are facing off for the first time!"

As Mike Breen's voice came out from the TV, all the fans' attention was attracted at this moment.

on the field.

Lin Yu looked at James in front of him and directly launched a deathly entanglement on him.

The best tactic to deal with pick-and-roll is unlimited switching!

Just because Okur can't keep up with James doesn't mean Lin Yu can't keep up with James' speed.

bump!
With the sound of muscles colliding, Lin Yu held off James' tank breakthrough.

At this time, James has made considerable progress compared to last season.

However, compared with the tank breakthrough at its peak, it is still far behind.

As long as the defense switches quickly enough and the lateral movement is fast enough, James will naturally not be able to break through successfully.

At this time, if it were Kobe or Durant, they might directly start the singles mode after failing to break through.

But the problem is that James is indeed not a good one-on-one player.

At least James in his second year is definitely not.

During this period, James really had no other killer moves except breaking through and passing the ball.

When James saw that his breakthrough failed, he fell into an offensive stagnation.

Relying on his arm span advantage, Lin Yu cut the ball directly.

Snapped!
Lin Yu successfully stole the ball and started a fast break.
