Basketball: The Chosen Victim

"Kyrie, don't get caught up in singles! Grind with tactics!"

Scott yelled from the sidelines.

However, Irving dribbled the ball recklessly and rushed to the frontcourt. Obviously, Wade's suppression of him just now made him over the head.

When Wu Di saw this, he leaned over and rushed forward, even forcing Wade to stop one step ahead of him!

Owen was so frightened that just for a moment, he even felt that the ball in his hand was about to be broken by Wu Di!

The referee was a little confused and almost called Wu Di for blocking the foul, but fortunately he held back in the end, otherwise it would be a real joke...

"ball!"

Wu Di said in a deep voice. Owen was like ice water poured on his head. He regained consciousness in an instant and handed the ball over obediently.

This is not the first time this kind of thing has happened, but it has always happened in off-court training games before.

It is extremely rare for it to happen on the court, whether it is with the Cavaliers or other teams, so the referee was shocked just now.

Owen's own style is indeed the kind of independent, especially now is his rookie season, the style of play has not yet been adjusted, and he is easily irritated, so he just ignored Scott's instructions and wanted to continue playing singles.

As a field commander, Wu Di can forget about situations like this before, but in this critical game, he will never allow Irving to make the same mistakes in a row, let alone tolerate it in order to maintain the team's apparent harmony.

Owen didn't dare to be a little angry about this, after all, Wu Di was already the boss of the Cavaliers before he came!
Moreover, the previous Cavaliers' meritorious veterans, Varejao and Williams, had been traded for their disobedience. Even the original general manager Grant was directly fired by Gilbert due to conflicts with Woody. Woody's team throne is not a joke. Just for fun.

Coupled with Scott's admiration for Wu Di at ordinary times, as well as the blowouts of Jordan, Love, Jamison and others, Owen understood very early on that those who follow Wu Di will prosper, and those who do not follow Wu Di will get out.

So just now being forced to stop asking for the ball by Wu Di, not only did Owen dare not complain in his head, but he began to reflect on what he did wrong just now.

Owen was not wronged, but James was jealous.

"Damn it, what kind of shit luck is this Wu Di! Owen is simply a fairy player, and he won't be angry if he is messed up like this!"

James felt like he was jealous. Of course he would not admit Wu Di's control over the Cavaliers. He just attributed Irving's reaction to Irving's good temper.

James thought so, and other Heat players who wanted to watch the excitement had boring expressions on their faces.

Come to think of it, Wu Di has a pretty good reputation among players!
He spends a lot of money to help his teammates realize their wishes, selflessly leads his teammates to improve their training, helps them win big contracts, makes money by doing shows together, and even introduces brand owners to his teammates. Owen is so stupid that he dared to confront Wu Di.

The game continued, and Wu Di took the ball to the top of the arc.

The Heat's defensive system has evolved this season. Almost everyone can switch defenses without misplacement, which very restricts the Cavaliers' space-based cover tactics.

However, the way is one foot high and the devil is one foot high, and the level of tacit cooperation of the Cavaliers has also improved by more than a star and a half, especially after four games in the series, they have basically touched the weakness of the Heat's defensive system.

The first is Lao Zhan.

Wu Di gestured to Love, indicating to use flanking cover tactics.

Love instantly understood that he came to the right wing to receive the ball as a tactical support point, and Wu Di immediately circled from behind Love to the right bottom corner at full speed after passing the ball.

In the middle, Battier and James Slippery switched defenses, and James chased from the flanks to the bottom corner. He shot in order to prevent Wu Di from catching the ball.

"This chase is too tight, Wu Di can stop and catch the ball and then rush to your right! Wu Di is very sharp to break to the left..."

In the live broadcast room of the sports channel, Yang Yi explained with some doubts.

"No way, if you don't chase him a little tighter, Wu Di will catch the ball and send him away. It can only be said that he will be stabbed twice on the left and once on the right. James' large weight has given him unparalleled strength, and his inertia is also too great. Now, other people may not be so obvious, but Wu Di can shoot suddenly, and his explosive power is stronger than him, so he will suffer all of a sudden..."

Zhang Weiping took over the conversation and analyzed it.

The first stage of the tactic was completed. In the second stage, Wu Di suddenly turned back when he was about to run to the bottom corner. In the next second, he firmly caught the ball from Love, and then decisively broke through from the right side of Lao Zhan!

In an instant, Lao Zhan was thrown away by most of his body!

Lao Zhan's eyes were about to burst, and the master made a move, and the devil was in the details!
His shooting hand is right-handed, but he is actually left-handed. When actually defending, his right hand is far less flexible than his left hand. There is no way to stop Wu Di's sharp breakthrough!

At the critical moment, the Heat have two options. One is to let Battier, who is closer, give up Love and come to make up defense. Then Love, who was just crowned the three-pointer this year, will be empty!

Wu Di hangs back again and can only rely on James to fly to block the shot. At this distance, it is quite difficult!

Another option is to let Bosh in the low post on the opposite side come over to make up defense, forcing Wu Di to stop for a jumper or hit hard.

The emergency stop jump shot James can catch up with the chasing cap, and he is not afraid of confrontation when he beats Bosh. And because he is low, Bosh can also take care of the passing route between Wu Di and Jordan.

So Bosh made up for it, and the Heat chose the second solution!

But the problem is, the rest of the Cavaliers are not idle either!

Just when Wu Di received the ball just now, Jordan and Butler had already blocked Wade in a joint running position, allowing Irving to pass through and run to the penalty area!
With a flick of Wu Di's arm, Owen caught the ball and shot it!

Swish!
Owen easily scored open!

2-2!

The disappointed voices of the Heat fans came one after another. They could see that it was difficult for them to defend against the Cavaliers' tactics.

Irving and Love's play style just now is actually the first stage of this tactic, but Irving's basket is far less threatening than Wu Di, and Wade deliberately set up a game to paralyze Irving, which gave James a chance to succeed in stealing.

Wu Di and Owen gave high-fives. Not only did the two of them not have a gap, but they cooperated even better than usual...

James, who saw everything in his eyes, felt that it was even more uncomfortable than killing him.

"Be careful, if you help him up, he will definitely challenge your position!"

During the Heat's offensive round, when James faced Wu Di's defense, he reminded him "kindly".

"damn thing!"

Wu Di spat, in fact, he didn't care about Irving's singles performance just now. On the one hand, it was also a sign of confidence. If he didn't want to come back after losing, then Irving would not achieve the same results as before.

But James is a bitch for saying this!

If it's an ordinary young player, like Monta Ellis of the Warriors, it's hard not to have suspicions in his heart, and he will hesitate when passing the ball later!
Even if it is Wu Di, it is hard to say that it does not affect the mood!

When James heard Wu Di scolding him, the corner of James' mouth showed a slight arc.

Wu Di scolded him, which meant that his words were effective. If Wu Di remained silent, he would feel uncomfortable instead.

"Bad bones!"

Seeing his expression, Wu Di basically guessed his little thoughts.

There is a saying. Since being eliminated by Wu Di in the Eastern Conference Finals last season, the biggest improvement of James is not his shooting range, but his face.

Whether it was the All-Stars feeding Wu Di the ball crazily in an attempt to win him, or whether he had used up Granger before or G4 was acting stupid, this guy always looked like a dead pig and was not afraid of boiling water, and his face was really thicker than the city wall!
The rhythm of this matter is basically the same as in the previous life. After eight points of possession, James has always been the biggest actor in the NBA.

The scolding of "bad bones" was quite harsh. James withdrew his smile and began to ask for the ball in the low post. Apart from counterattacks and fast breaks, the low post is the area he is most sure of now.

It's just that this kind of fighting is not so difficult when Wu Di is full of energy!

Tonight is destined to be very long!
The reason why the Cavaliers play tactics first is also because of this. The strength of the two sides is equal. Whoever can fight smoothly and save effort in the early stage will have the last laugh!
Bang bang bang!
The sound of bones hitting was endless. James endured the pain and arched a few times. He didn't move forward too much, but it was enough. He attracted Jordan to double-team!

As soon as James hit the ground, the ball passed into Bosh's hands. Jordan quickly turned around and returned to the defense, but Bosh turned around to meet him and made a small throw!

Jordan's blocking was still a bit off, and the basketball was thrown into the net while spinning!
2-4!

James also has his own advantages. Wu Di and Jordan can't pass this kind of ball.

On the one hand, Wu Di is not tall enough and has insufficient vision, and his passing ability is indeed inferior to James.

On the other hand, Jordan's offensive methods are much less than Bosh's. He can only simply slam dunk under the basket. Beyond this range, there is no basket at all...

Although the point where Bosh was standing just now is not very far away, it is far beyond Jordan's habitual finishing distance. After all, once out of the center circle, let alone the shooting percentage, the average number of shots per game during the season is only 0.9. !

Comparing the two, although they are both All-Star substitutes, it is embarrassing for Zhan Mi to use Jordan as an analogy to Bosh!

Offensive and defensive changes, Wu Di held the ball in the middle distance on the left, and began to hit the Heat's second weakness.

Of course it has to be James.

Jordan led Bosh to the free throw line area. Irving, who was originally at the top of the arc, ran to Love on the right wing. At the same time, Butler also led Mario around the right corner from Woody's position.

James thought very simple, as long as Wu Di didn't come over, he would aim at Love, so if Love didn't move, he just squatted in the pit, holding the principle that the enemy wouldn't move and I wouldn't move, and he even started to defend with his hips on his hips.

But Love's immobility was premeditated. Butler, who was running to the bottom line, suddenly ran towards Love like Irving -

Bang!
Because Mario wanted to chase Butler, his shoulder bumped into Owen who was running over!
But that's okay, because the shoulder hit Owen, which just gave him a rebound force, allowing him to keep up with Butler's sudden return, but there was another sudden muffled sound!
It turned out that Butler cut into the basket, Mario hit Irving and turned over and hit James who was standing on the pile!
"What are you doing bro!"

Seeing a role player like Butler easily take Wu Di's pass and score through the back door, James couldn't help but roar.

"Can't you make it up for me?"

Mario roared with an explosive mentality, and slammed twice fiercely. He felt as uncomfortable in his internal organs as if he had run at full speed and turned back.

"I'll help you defend, who will defend Love!"

James roared louder than him. He was telling the truth. Mario was limited by his height and could only switch defenses with Wade.

Three groups of people crowded together, if James went to chase Butler and leave Love to Mario, then Wu Di would pass the ball to Love who is 15 cm taller than Mario. Fudu is more sure.

But the problem is, James can take care of Mario's movement and give up his position in advance!

But doesn't this affect James' comfortable squatting in the pit!

This pot of James said that he would not recite it, not only did he not recite it, but he had to throw it out as soon as possible!
So James immediately added without waiting for Mario to explain:
"You have to watch carefully, you can't let a role player from the other side round you to a dead corner!"

Mario was so angry that he jumped, he knew the meaning behind James' words, and he was just a role player, so why did he ask James to make way for him?

"You're the all-star on this team, stop being such a jerk and let's just play basketball!"

Mario was indignant. Before James came, whether it was Wade, Sean Marion, or even O'Neal, these all-star players took the initiative to take responsibility on the court!

But when it comes to James, the big names off the court are fine, but the big names on the court are still big!

But James also doesn't want to think about it. If Mario can take care of everything on the court, will he still be just a role player?

However, seeing that he dared to "offend" him so much, James called a timeout on the spot and asked Spoelstra to replace Mario immediately as a warning to others!
He has never done this before, but Wu Di's training of Irving today has greatly stimulated him, and he feels that it is necessary for him to play the prestige of the team boss!
But Spoelstra directly expressed "NO", and scolded James bloody:
"Damn, you're driving me crazy! How can you waste our precious timeouts on this? Mario's right, you're an asshole! Giftcrab, oh my god, you're the boss of the team, your responsibility where?!"

Shiba poked his head violently:
"Use your brain and think about it, who should give way..."

In fact, the reason why Wade "obediently" gave up the position of the team leader to James is not without special inside information.

That's the Heat under Riley. The team boss is actually a hard job.

It is undeniable that it is indeed a good-sounding honorary title in the outside world, but in the Heat team, this glamorous title is first accompanied by team example, hard work and active responsibility!
Listening to Spoelstra's scolding, James was suddenly embarrassed on the spot...

In his world, fledgling Asian coaches like Spoelstra are just his marionettes!

But Sipo said "NO" clearly, and scolded him very righteously on this occasion!
And he still can't seem to refute...

James' brain has overheated, approaching the temperature when Wu Di beat him to death on the spot last time!

He really wanted to scold, "You make me look like a mercenary who doesn't understand team culture", but he opened his mouth for a long time, but he couldn't say it... (End of this chapter)
