025 Unstoppable
With Tim's permission, Li Zhe began to elaborate on the idea of forming a defensive plan and the specific execution methods.
In his memory, even though Harden's comprehensive skills are mature, there are still many players who can try their best to limit them, such as Smart, Batum, Durant, Iguodala, LeBron and others.
Among these people, Paul George and Tony Allen have the best limit effect.
In the 12-13 season, Tony Allen's defensive skills have declined a lot, but in four defenses, the latter made 23 of 64 shots, far lower than Dangdang's average season, while Paul George defended Harden in a rampage mode twice in 18-19, with the latter making 22 of 54 shots, giving other players in the league hope.
Ultimately, if you want to limit Harden, you must interfere with his ball catch, continue to press and maintain harassment and consume and destroy his dribbling rhythm. Of course, you also need to control yourself during this period and not act randomly, so as not to be fouled.
To do this, the height and wingspan must be excellent and the speed cannot be too slow, and it also requires certain defensive skills and experience.
Unfortunately, no one in the USC team has the physical condition of Paul George, so they can only imitate Tony Allen to fight. Hackett once represented Italy in the European Championships, and was often used by Tim to defend against opponents' arrow players. His defensive ability and good attitude are the best candidates to imitate Tony Allen.
Li Zhe was initially limited to the starter, but until today Hackett took the initiative to say hello, he had an idea of this plan. If he cooperated with certain defense, there was a high probability that Harden could be limited.
After listening to Li Zhe's story, Tim crossed his hands and hugged his chest slightly raised his head and blinked his eyes to think.
"I want to think about it carefully, you go to train first."
Li Zhe nodded and was about to turn around and return to the stadium when he suddenly stopped again.
"There is another thing. I suggest that DeRozan will focus on attacking Harden when attacking, so that it can be consumed at the same time on both ends of the offense and defense, and the effect may be better. And as far as I know, Harden's defensive willingness is usually weak."
"Well, go ahead, I get it." Tim waved.
…
The morning training ended soon, and Li Zhe returned to the dormitory to take a nap after lunch.
Xiaofei told him that the story of defeating the big boss in the game world has been appreciated by the professor and will be sent as a representative in Spielberg's return to school speech, and have the opportunity to be selected for the Spielberg cooperative shooting program.
Li Zhe's personal email address included some samples of independent musicians. After listening to it, he chose a few songs and updated them on YouTube along with Sister Da Lei's work to wait for fans to report.
The discussion about which pick he will be selected into the NBA continues, with the focus mainly on the words of Old Bass. In order to prove the authenticity of the leak, TMZ directly put the original recording on Twitter.
What made the fans feel depressed was that the recording background was noisy, the roar of the car engine, the sound of people talking and footsteps were mixed. In addition, the recording may be afraid of being found far away, and the entire recording sounded vague, and it was impossible to be 100% sure that those words were spoken by Old Bass himself.
Even so, fans are still very interested in the topic of "successing Kobe". Many fans and scouts said they will visit the Gran Center Arena or broadcast live on TV to see how powerful Li Zhe is.
In this way, an ordinary game became very popular again.
Li Zhe did not take this matter to heart. He woke up in the morning and went to class to learn knowledge step by step.
…
At 7 pm, Grand Center Arena, USC basketball team locker room.
Li Zhe changed into the uniform, sat on the chair and began to wrap bandages around his ankles.
Tim pushed open the door and walked in, stood in the middle of the locker room, clapping his hands to attract everyone's attention.
"The opponent is weak in this game tonight, but James Harden needs to focus on defense. We have found a restrictive solution. Jamie, you can talk about the specific plan, and you will talk about it according to your thoughts in the morning."
Li Zhe stood up and knew that Tim was interested in cultivating his leadership skills. He gently beat his chest to express his gratitude.
"Hackett, I need you to start with me in this game."
Hackett was stunned when he heard this, and the others were also confused. Li Zhe actually suggested that Hackett start.
The two of them had a little unhappy quarrel over the start. Although they had already reconciled, they were generous.
After about 3 minutes, the whole plan was finally explained, and the players nodded and praised frequently.
When DeRozan took the lead in the field, Hackett walked at the end of the team and pulled Li Zhe and whispered: "I didn't expect that you trust me so much. I will definitely not disappoint you. Harden scored more than 15 points. I failed."
Li Zhe patted his shoulder, "That's up to you."
…
Amid the DJ's shouts and the fans' cheers, Li Zhe waved his hand and ran out of the player's passage.
The Gran Center Arena is full, but unlike the previous match against UCLA, many fans are not wearing red jerseys, and many of them are holding signs with 'Let's look at Kobe' and waving left and right, as if they are from outside the school.
Tim blinked at Li Zhe, raised his hand and pointed to the back row of the substitute intentionally or unintentionally.
Li Zhe looked over and saw several middle-aged men in suits and tie, holding pens and notebooks, who looked like NBA team scouts, and should have been invited by Tim.
This game is still commented on by Fox Sports live broadcast.
"I guess you have already gained a new understanding of Jamie through the last game?" Hammer asked.
"To be honest, I did underestimate him, but it is completely impossible for him to become Kobe's successor. James Harden has hope of doing it. When the game starts, everyone will know what I said is true." Perry said.
"When it comes to Harden, by the way, Coach Tim said in an interview just now that the USC's plan to restrict Harden tonight was proposed by Jamie. What do you think about this?" Hammer asked again.
"Limit Harden? Did I hear it wrong? Jamie's defense is pretty good, but he doesn't directly match Harden. No one else can limit Harden, either Marcus or DeRozan, and Coach Tim should be joking." Perry shook his head.
As soon as he finished speaking, the list of starters of the two teams was displayed on the large screen in the center of the stadium.
Point guard Li Zhe was in the lead in all the data against Glaser; point guard Hackett was in the same position against Harden, and the latter completely crushed all the data; DeRozan was in the same position against Cusco; Gibson was in the same position against Abbott; the former had only steals one data against the latter; center Vucevic vs. Els, the two had the advantages and disadvantages of each data.
Perry looked embarrassed when he saw Hackett's name appear on the starting list.
Hammer smiled softly, "It seems that USC has made a lineup change. Do you think it will be effective?"
Chapter completed!
