Chapter 71 As a Power Forward
Everyone on earth knows that James will go on the left when he breaks through.
The problem is to know the problem and solve the problem. These are two problems.
James used the cover to enter the inside, and Li Rong could only try to reduce his degree and choose to drive him to the bottom line. This is how Bowen dealt with him in this year's finals.
But behind Li Rong, there was no awesome frame guard who was like Tim Duncan.
James broke through the bottom line, took Li Rong's body as the axis, and suddenly turned towards the basket, his body soared into the air, twisted his body and put the ball in the air and put it into the basket.
"Boy! Are you serious?" James said to Li Rong after landing.
Li Rong looked at James like an alien. How could he be so fucking defended? He had successfully forced James to a dead corner just now, but he still couldn't cause effective interference to him.
However, Li Rong then shot with his back on his back again in the next round: "Let me see how many points you can get!"
James responded quickly, and he used the same method to hit Li Rong in the next round and made a comeback and turned around.
However, compared to Li Rong's turnaround jump shot just now, James's amplitude in making this move is much more exaggerated.
Li Rong immediately assisted McCantz to shoot mid-range, but the score difference between the two sides remained the same.
James turned around and was driven to the bottom line by Li Rong again, but he was not panicked at all, and his body drifted in the air and hit a difficult board-width shot.
Li Rong had the ball over halftime and played a two-man pick-and-roll with Jefferson. He shot fake action to deceive James and then assisted veteran Doriak at the basket to make a dunk.
James then broke through to the Timberwolves inside, causing Jefferson to make a foul of defense, and scored a 2 plus 1.
The shooting percentages of both sides then began to decline, and Li Rong missed the shot from McCantz, who passed the ball from the outside.
Ilgoskas missed the back against Jefferson, and Li Rongka took the rebound from the main position.
Jefferson encountered a three-man double-team at the basket, and passed the ball to the open space. Li Rong missed the mid-range shot.
James caused Doriak to foul the inside, stood on the free throw line, and made one of two free throws.
...
Perhaps the trash talk with Li Rong stimulated his score, and James was fully fired from the festival.
After the quarter, he made 6 of 9 shots, 1 of 3 three-pointers, 2 of 4 free throws, and James scored 15 points in a single quarter.
Jefferson scored 10 points on the Timberwolves, and Li Rong scored 7 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists.
The Timberwolves temporarily lead the Cavaliers by 6 points over 24.
At the beginning of the second, James seemed to be deliberately leading his teammates and reducing his number of shots, but he still scored 8 points in a single quarter.
The Timberwolves felt bad on the outside, and made a tragic shooting percentage of 7 shots in a single quarter.
Among them, Walker contributed three free three-pointers to hit the iron.
Fortunately, Al Jefferson is still very good in the inside line. Although his shooting percentage is only 2 of 5 shots, it caused the opponent to foul three inside lines, making 5 of 6 free throws at the free throw line, and scored 9 points in a single quarter.
After halftime, the score between the two sides was 46-47, and the Cavaliers approached the score to only one point away.
Whitman was very crazy about Walker, but the team is now out of the interior.
Although Craig Smith, who performed well last season, has a certain inside scoring ability, he is only 2 meters or 1 in height and basically has no ability to protect the frame.
At some point, he began to miss the big black guy who went to Boston.
If Garnett is still in the team, he and Li Rong can form two defensive barriers, one inside and one outside, and it will not be easy for James to break through such a defensive barrier.
Unfortunately, all this can only be thought about. If Garnett doesn't leave, Li Rong will not have the chance to come to the Timberwolves.
The Timberwolves' bad touch on the outside in the third quarter continued, and even Li Rong missed two open shots.
The Cavaliers took this opportunity to reverse the score. Gibson, the Cavaliers' best move in this quarter, scored 7 points in a single quarter.
72-69, the Cavaliers led the lead and entered the fourth quarter.
Seeing the team gradually becoming passive, Timberwolves head coach Whitman even rushed to the team's ever-year mascot Mark Madson protects the basket.
Madson, nicknamed "Mad Dog", was a member of the Lakers' Ok Dynasty that year and won two championships with the team.
However, his biggest role in that dynasty team was to provide off-field energy for his teammates - swinging towels.
As a 2-meter o6 white power forward, his physical fitness is extremely mediocre and has almost no offensive ability. Although he is active on the defensive end, his physical fitness is also very average due to his limited physical fitness.
James wanted to take over the game as soon as he came to the fourth quarter. He broke through to the inside line continuously and was almost completely flawless.
Madson had no solution to such an attack, and was replaced by head coach Whitman again within two minutes.
McHale on the sidelines knew Whitman's difficulties as a head coach, and he had a team's salary slip on his desk this year.
The three most paid people in the Timberwolves are Ratliff, Walker and Juwan Howard, who has been laid off for a long time.
Ratliff is currently injured, and Walker is sometimes god and sometimes ghost, which means that the three highest-paid people on the team are not making any contributions on the court.
Jaric, the fourth highest-salary team, has only received about 10 minutes of playing time per game since Li Rong entered the lineup, and is responsible for leading the substitute.
Troy Hudson and Eddie Griffin, who died in a car accident, are no longer on the team's roster, but the two still have to take a $90,000 salary from the Timberwolves.
Buckner and Doriac, two veterans, still play on the team, but their role on the court is very limited.
Randy Fery doesn't know when he will be able to make a comeback this season.
Especially after Ratliv's injury, almost no one in the team was able to provide protection for the basket.
Almost all the people who really play on the court now receive the salary of their rookie contracts.
As the general manager of the team, McHale has been prepared to lose 60 games this season.
Fortunately, the team still has a bright future. Li Rong is the biggest wealth the team has gained this season. He was originally considered the top deal for Garnett, but he was included in the team's roster in just three games.
At this time, Li Rong was talking to Whitman on the bench. Whitman nodded while listening, and then called for a timeout in the fourth quarter.
The Timberwolves readjusted the on-court roster, Li Rong, Al Jefferson, Ryan Gomez, Rashad McCantz, and Gerald Green, who had few chances in the previous games.
This is a small lineup of very short heights, and Li Rong became a power forward in the field.
