Chapter 1460: Emperor James Was Beaten in a Fancy Way?

It's hard to tell whether Ji Feng + Artest are the perfect way to defend James, but James was definitely crushed by these two people.

"SHIT! Shit, rubbish~!!"

After returning to the bench, James slammed the towel on the chair for the first time in a long time, then hammered the back of the chair twice, and then turned his back to a place where the cameras could not see clearly and cursed loudly.

The Cavaliers staff and teammates around him were silent, not daring to look James in the eye. There was nothing they could do. In the past, James always presented a very good image outside, let alone swearing in public. Generally speaking, James rarely appeared in public. Losing his temper in public, throwing, smashing and swearing like today is definitely the first time for James since he entered the league!

This means that James' mentality really exploded.

It can be seen that the 4 minutes just now mean something to James.

Despair, yes, despair!

This word seems to have never been associated with James. After all, he has been the pride of heaven since high school. His opponents have changed one after another, but he has always been the strongest one. Even when he entered the league, he used extremely fast Speed ​​has grown to where it is today.

No game has ever made him feel so desperate. Even if Artest and Battier forced him to play his worst game of the season last season, he felt he had a chance to do better.

But tonight was different. The combination of Ji Feng and Artest left him no choice. Whether it was breakthrough or passing, he could not find any opening. He had never encountered this kind of defense.

"James has suffered the biggest setback in his career. The strength of the Lakers' defensive combination is unprecedented. No team has ever had such a combination. It is the first time James has encountered it. It is normal for him to be restricted from playing. "Smith said with some sympathy, it's too tragic. In these 4 minutes, James, an MVP-level player, failed to score a point and made 4 consecutive turnovers. Everyone's mentality would explode.

However, he thinks this is fully understandable. Ji Feng and Artest have combined to win three Defensive Player of the Year awards and multiple All-Defensive Teams. They are definitely among the top three defensive No. 3 positions in the league. They can compete with James alone, let alone two of them together.

And Smith had to lament the tacit understanding between the two. One person kept close guard and constantly used his body to confront James, forcing him to be unable to break through. The other person used flanking and blocking to keep James away from his most familiar scoring position. At the same time, He also used his wingspan and height to prevent James from passing the ball.

I have to say, it’s too cruel!

This is James. Anyone else would probably cry. At the same time, Smith also understands why the Lakers didn't play like this before, because it's not necessary at all. It's enough to play other teams' single defense, and once they play like this, those Teams with a strong No. 3 position may have difficulty.

And Smith always feels that the Lakers' tactics are more than just that...

Director Zhang and Yu Jia also talked about this issue in the live broadcast room.

"James was blocked. Yes, that's right, it was blocked. This is the first time I have seen James blocked so tightly. He really tried his best. However, Ji Feng and Artest were too defensive. "There's really nothing we can do about it," Director Zhang said: "The other Cavaliers players didn't respond quickly enough. There's nothing we can do about it. The Cavaliers players didn't expect James to be completely unable to pass the ball, and the most important thing is that. , they may not have a chance.”

"Director Zhang is right to the point. Many fans think that the Cavaliers players are all CBA players. Why don't they go to meet the boss quickly? What are they doing?"

"To be honest, the Lakers' defense is very integrated. What you see is the defense of Ji Feng and Artest, but in fact it is the operation of the entire Lakers team that plays a role." Yu Jia said.

"Yes, the Lakers are very good at overall defense. In the past two seasons, the Lakers have been the team with the best perimeter defense. The Lakers may have more powerful tactics next." Director Zhang made a preview.

After hearing this, James and Cavaliers fans exited the live broadcast room...

Of course, there are also those who are dissatisfied, and many James fans are clamoring online at the moment.

"James will definitely return as the king, just wait and see!"

"Please, don't brag, okay? I admit that I defended well in these few minutes, but James suffered an unknown loss. There will be a rebound after the timeout. If there is no rebound, I will eat my TV!"

"Insert the eye!"

"Cheating to eat and drink!"

"Sit back and wait for the live broadcast room!"

On the Cavaliers bench, Mike Brown also made an effort. He gave the dribbling rights back to Mo, allowing James to catch the ball after the pick-and-roll, and it was a double pick-and-roll. He also fought hard for Lao James!

The timeout ended and both sides returned to the court. James was completely serious. He could not end the game just like this, otherwise it would definitely become one of the dark histories of his career, and he must respond.

The Lakers don't think so. Just as Yu Jia and Director Zhang guessed, this is just the beginning!

"To be honest, I didn't expect James to be so reluctant to fight." Artest shrugged, bulged his big chest muscles, and said excitedly.

"Low-key and low-key, that's not enough." Ji Feng was very calm.

"You two have had enough fun, it's my turn." Kobe was very ordinary, but beneath the ordinary surface was definitely an unusual heart.

Returning to the court, the Cavaliers played very carefully. Xiao Mo dribbled away from James, fearing that Ji Feng would directly double-team him. James also became more aggressive, with big muscles bulging, and his movements became much bigger.

Sliding directly to the baseline, O'Neal's pick-and-roll was absolutely powerful. James also got rid of Artest and received the basketball. At this moment, Ji Feng was taken to the other side by Xiao Mo. James received the ball and was ready to break through without any hesitation.

But this time Kobe's double-team arrived!

James: "...???!!!"

"James broke through, and he took advantage of the opportunity when Ji Feng was suspended. Oh, Kobe double-teamed! James came to a standstill, and he passed the ball out urgently, and it was West who received the ball! Well, a second position without a long shot ..." The tone of the Cavaliers' on-site commentary went from low to high, very much like the situation on the field.

West was confused when he received the ball. He could logically take a shot in the wide open space, but he didn't dare. His three-point shooting rate was only about 23%, so he was definitely a player who relied solely on his imagination.

After this hesitation, Kobe returned to defense, and West could only continue to distribute the ball, but was intercepted by Ji Feng. Xiao Mo chased after him and finally caught up with the sideline ball...

The score difference continues to widen!

At this time, James was still doubting his life. Yes, even if Ji Feng was away, Kobe, who had been the best defensive team for three consecutive years, could still bring enough threats to him, and he still couldn't take action easily!

However, James was still very good. After that, he continued to make various attempts and made several fouls. He finally got points in the second quarter. Before the end of the second quarter, after he rushed in for the first time, he was banned before he could be happy. Nahm blocks the shot!

Ji Feng catches the ball and completes a dragon!

At the end of halftime, the Lakers erased all 16-point points difference and gained a 6-point advantage!
