NBA basketball rhythm monster

"I dare to take down the emperor even if I am willing to die." This is a Chinese proverb that Li Luo explained to all the Celtic members before the game when he encouraged them.

Medieval knights must disgrace the royal family regardless of the risk of beheading? This dog-like explanation made all the Celts remember this old Chinese saying.

And Mark Blount just perfectly explained what is meant by "the following foul" on LeBron James.

On the sidelines, James' agent Goodman was jumping up and down and yelling at the referee. In fact, as a player's agent, he should not interfere too much with the player's performance on the court.

However, Goodman obviously did not have this consciousness and encouraged the audience to put pressure on the referee.

Li Luo watched everything from the side and thought to himself, no wonder James fired his agent as soon as he established a foothold in the NBA, and then turned around and joined Paul Rich. Even though he still had James' mother.

The pleas for mercy are of no use.

Not to mention whether this kind of pressure on the referee is useful or not. You have to know that the referee is also a human being, and he also has his own likes and dislikes. This kind of slightly emotional penalty for a certain player may ruin the whole game at a critical moment.

Hardworking.

Sure enough, the referee ignored other people's opinions and insisted that it was a good block.

The ball was slapped into the backcourt and rolled into the audience. This left only 1.2 seconds in the 24-second attack time. The Cavaliers had to make free throws from the backcourt, which meant that the ball had basically changed hands.

Sure enough, the Cavaliers guard immediately made a half-court shot after receiving the ball. You can imagine the hit rate of this kind of ball.

Directly does not occupy the frame...

"Beep..." The lights on the entire backboard lit up, and the Cavaliers were called for a 24-second violation!

The Celtics finally regained momentum.

"Good defense!"

Although James was cheated, as a representative of players with high emotional intelligence, James understood why Li Luo spared no effort to stop himself from scoring.

What also surprised James was the defensive strategy of the entire Celtics, especially the forward blocking team headed by Li Luo.

First, he sent Li Luo to stick to him and prevent him from starting easily.

Then after consuming his own impact speed, he arranged for someone inside to intercept him. At the same time, he also strictly guarded against the two shooters in his team. It was obvious that the opponent had done his homework and came prepared.

This kind of defensive treatment he had never experienced in his high school career made James understand that he might have to face a tough battle today.

After changing sides and fighting again, the Celtics had the ball. After eliminating the opponent's imminent momentum, the Celtics obviously regained their familiar ball feel.

After halftime, Li Luo took the initiative to ask for the ball from defender Atkins.

A 4-point difference is not a big deal in Li Luo's eyes. Now as the leader of the team, he must stand up and stop the team's bleeding.

So Li Luo wasn't going to give this ball to anyone, he decided to do it himself.

Li Luo directly approached his opponent Darius Miles. In terms of strength, if it was Carlos Boozer, the starting power forward of the Cavaliers, Li Luo would still need to consider and spend some effort to deal with it.

.

As for the backup power forward... Li Luo has many ways to beat him.

Li Luo called center Blount to step forward and set up a pick-and-roll. After dribbling around his teammate, Li Luo found that Miles had been stretched away by him.

So Li Luo made a jump shot and scored.

The shot was simple. Li Luo didn't even take off. He tiptoed a little near the free throw line to complete the shot. The whole process was indescribably easy.

4:2, the Celtics were only one goal behind.

The game ended too early, and Li Luo's goal was not a big deal in the eyes of the Cavaliers.

This time it is the Cavaliers' turn to attack. According to the Cavaliers' tactics throughout the summer league, James will adapt to the game by playing a small forward but actually a guard in the first and fourth quarters.

In the first quarter, let James control the ball, coordinate the entire team, and get a feel for it.

The fourth quarter is a life-and-death moment. The Cavaliers will let James experience this suffocating atmosphere and exercise his big heart ability.

But the situation now is different.

McGinnis, the point guard of the Cavaliers, saw LeBron James score four points in a row, looking quite unstoppable. He was preparing to be a tool and take over the ball honestly and then transition to James' hands and accept it.

But when he really wanted to do this, James waved his hand to him, telling him to secretly control the game with other tactics, while he stayed outside the left three-point line and waited for opportunities.

"Hey, this LeBron is pretty quick to adjust his tactics."

Li Luo couldn't help but sigh, this young Zhan, who is still young, has such good tactical reserves, he is worthy of being the "chosen son".

McGinnis dribbles the ball, but he actually knows in his heart that the Cavaliers' sole purpose of the entire summer league is to serve James, the No. 1 pick.

Therefore, there are very few tactics designed for other people. If you want to forcefully attack other people, it is not appropriate.

Fortunately, there are also off-ball tactics designed for James. McGinnis greeted him and the team immediately started moving.

At this time, James slowly started running towards the bottom corner from outside the 45-degree three-point line, and the Celtics small forward Williams who was guarding him immediately followed him.

Li Luo didn't move. As a power forward, he still had his own defensive players to deal with at this time. Besides, James' style of play is not the kind of person who squats in the corner. After all, his current shooting percentage does not support him at all.

Corner shooter.

What needs to be paid attention to now is just to figure out the Cavaliers' tactical intentions. In other words, figure out how the Cavaliers will give the ball to LeBron James when and where, and what LeBron will do next after receiving the ball.

How to launch an attack.

Li Luo relied on his opponent to prevent him from moving inside, because he had to guard against James' sudden surge at any time.

So Li Luo adopted a half-circling posture and locked him firmly behind him.

McGinnis finally moved. After shaking off the Celtics defender, Celtics insider Mark Blount took a step up to help defend.

This allowed James to find an opportunity. He slipped from the bottom corner to the basket. In the three-second zone, Cavaliers interior substitute Chris Mihm successfully caught LeBron's defensive player Williams.

This allowed James to smoothly move from the left corner to the right side of the free throw line to get the ball. McGinnis immediately passed the ball to James.

"Pa!" A sudden change occurred.

Li Luo had been waiting for a long time. When the Cavaliers defender started to move, he knew that the final end point was likely to be LeBron James hiding in the corner.

James' actions also confirmed his suspicion, so when Williams was blocked by the opponent, LeBron thought he had a good opportunity.

Li Luo only did one thing, ran into the passing route of the guard and James, and naturally collected the basketball in his bag like a cabbage in his own field.

Before it was over, Li Luo, who was already running, rushed towards the enemy half with the basketball, preparing to dunk the first basket on his home court.

James also reacted quickly. He and Li Luo were sprinting in the half court as soon as the ball was intercepted. Defending this ball would cause a major blow to the Celtics' momentum. You know, this kind of big block is coming from behind.

But it’s one of James’ signature tricks (Rondo: Are you polite?)

Of course Li Luo knows this, and he also understands that his speed is far behind LeBron James.

Don't worry if you start first. If you come up casually and easily, James will definitely catch you.

So, Li Luo took an unconventional action.

He didn't start to slow down until he entered the paint area at the three-point line and made a layup gesture.

LeBron was waiting for this opportunity. His speed increased instead of slowing down. After getting close to Li Luo, he waited for Li Luo to jump up and give him a hard blow.

But Li Luo would never let LeBron succeed easily. After feeling the physical contact with LeBron, Li Luo collected the ball with both hands and raised the ball high in the first step, making a layup gesture.

LeBron was immediately overjoyed and jumped a full meter in preparation to block the shot.

Where is the ball?!

The expected sound did not appear. It turned out that Li Luo had no intention of throwing the ball out in the second step and just took the ball back.

After James jumped into the air, Li Luo released the ball in an extremely fast manner. Of course, the way the ball was released was a bit ugly. He looked like a replica of Marion.

However, the biggest advantage of this ball is that it is practical and easy to use.

The highly concealed and extremely fast shot caught James a bit off guard. He landed on the ground after catching nothing in the air.

Looking at Li Luo who had just scored, James felt trouble for the first time in the summer league.
