Chapter 1825 Three Consecutive Rounds of Blood Caps, Your Name Is King James
right! You read that right, what Artest avoided was Haslem's block inside.
You can't help but ask, where is James guarding Artest?
The camera cuts back to the scene just now. Artest's back-up ability is actually average, but his body is very strong, which makes his forced turn after receiving the ball behind his back very powerful. Generally, people who are marking Artest will guard against this move of his.
However, James felt offended. Everyone knows that among the three positions in the league, the one that James has the least dealing with is Pierce, and the second one is definitely Artest. If it is a pure competition with Ji Feng Relationships generally don't involve off-court relationships. Pierce and Artest, who have repeatedly criticized and ridiculed James on various occasions off the court, are definitely mortal enemies both on and off the court.
So James actually chose to grab the ball, half of his body hanging on Artest, and preparing to steal with his right hand. However, Artest turned in the opposite direction and directly threw James behind him, dodged in three steps and scored the ball.
"Beautiful! Artest has a very keen sense of smell and plays very resolutely. Full marks for this shot." Director Zhang applauded Artest.
Artest has actually been on the decline since coming to the Lakers. However, due to the high level of training and recovery in the Lakers, and the fact that he played as a substitute, his playing time dropped sharply, which gave Artest a feeling of returning to his youth. It feels like this move is very similar to the flexible Artest when he first entered the league.
After being beaten, James slammed the floor hard. It was obvious that he was very angry. This anger was also effective. On the offensive end, James finally decisively chose to break through!
Holding the ball, standard James-style hard steel, after a violent collision with Artest, he still managed to rush in. Before Bynum stepped forward, James threw the ball.
The ball goes in!
After scoring the goal, James nodded his head excitedly, and James in front of the TV was also very excited. Some people were not satisfied and shouted "Artest fouled"!
Maybe many people don't understand why a breakthrough is so exciting. That's because this is really a breakthrough that James has not seen in a long time. Although James' breakthrough is his best scoring method, in the first game, James succeeded in breaking through. The rate is an embarrassing 23.6%, not as good as Heat small guard Chalmers, and he is far behind Wade.
This may sound incredible, but this is the true portrayal of James in the first game. Smith, a famous ESPN commentator, commented after the game: "As long as LeBron James is frustrated in the positional battle, he will become hesitant. He is eager to pass the ball out like a hot potato. His technical shortcomings are also quite serious. Apart from switching attacks and three-pointers, he can hardly show any reliable singles skills. As long as he holds the ball one-on-one, I basically have to stand there and think about it for a long time.”
Barkley also said bluntly: "Now James has been thoroughly studied. His offensive skills are not on the same level as Ji Feng. You never know how Ji Feng will score, but you only need to prevent James' breakthrough and convert him." There won’t be any points scored.”
Zhan Mi wanted to hit someone after hearing this, but this was the real situation in the first game. He only scored a pitiful 2 points by relying on breakthroughs in the positional battle.
Some people say that James was like this because he encountered the defensive turns of Ji Feng and Artest, but the most classic scene in the first game actually happened in the second half of the second quarter. James took turns to single out Fisher, facing such a short opponent. , Lao Zhan Shengsheng made an offensive foul, which made the whole audience burst into laughter, and the scene was extremely embarrassing.
So this successful breakthrough has boosted James' confidence. James is finally coming back!
In the subsequent games, James made two more breakthroughs. Although he was also beaten twice by Artest on the defensive end, the two sides were 50-50, but this was enough. After all, James had already scored 6 points in the first quarter. This was absolutely What a good start!
But then, it was James’ nightmare!
At the end of the first quarter, the Lakers rotated. Artest came off, and Ji Feng returned to the third position. This was definitely a heart-wrenching substitution. Ji Feng had previously sent 3 assists and got 2 rebounds, and scored 3 points. , The performance was quite satisfactory, but in the end, the important thing is that Ji Feng, who defended Chalmers, hardly expended much physical energy on the defensive end, but James was different. He had been consumed by Artest on both offense and defense.
James had a headache when he saw Ji Feng. He wanted to apply for a rest, but just like in the Cavaliers, the Heat did not have a qualified substitute at the third position. He still had to work hard if he wanted not to be beaten by Ji Feng.
But Ji Feng's first shot was a showdown. Ji Feng directly chose a three-point threat from outside the three-point line and then made a three-pointer. The basketball was accurately hit and the Lakers continued to lead by 5 points!
"I don't know if this ball reminds James of his good brother Anthony." Director Zhang said cheerfully. Ji Feng had learned this technique unknowingly and turned it into a conventional weapon. No wonder others said there is no such thing. A technique that Ji Feng cannot learn.
And many Lakers fans also said that this is the three-point skill that James envies.
There's nothing wrong with it. James wanted to return the favor. He jumped high enough and shot far enough, but he just couldn't score. There was no way. James' three-pointer at this time was really hard to describe.
The Lakers once again took control of the ball, but this time the ball was never given to Ji Feng, and James finally showed his ability to let go. He moved smartly to steal the ball going inside, and strode forward, just like a fast break!
Fans who saw this scene felt that the ball was there. If nothing else, James' fast break ability was still first-rate. However, Ji Feng did not agree!
James may have been too relaxed. When he dribbled the ball near the three-point line, he slowed down and prepared for a three-step dunk. However, he suddenly saw his teammates shouting excitedly on the sidelines. When he glanced out of the corner of his eye, Ji Feng was already there. Caught up!
James then hurriedly accelerated, but Ji Feng had already arrived and began to use his body to put pressure on James!
"Fuck!" James yelled and wanted to hit hard, but the strength after suddenly slowing down was obviously not enough to resist Ji Feng who was going all out!
So James' layup was directly blocked by Ji Feng!
But the good news for James is that the blocked ball didn't fly very far due to its strength. James took a step forward to get it again, and then James turned his back and wanted to layup.
"No way!" Ji Feng jumped up high and once again rejected James' shot in mid-air!
Two consecutive blocks!
"What a careless move!" Smith exclaimed. James didn't jump at all when he got the ball!
Ji Feng blocked the ball with great force, but the Heat players had already arrived and the ball was in the hands of Chalmers. The latter took a test step and faked a pass, hitting James who was still inside.
At this time, Lao Zhan had been blocked by Ji Feng for two consecutive shots. He subconsciously had to hit the ball when he got the ball, but Ji Feng never relaxed and stepped forward again when he saw this scene!
Snapped! ! !
The basketball was pinned to the backboard by Ji Feng!
Three consecutive blocks!
