NBA Game: Starting with the LeBron James Template

The Clippers' sudden switch to a defensive strategy caught several players off guard.

Paul, in particular.

He didn't encounter much defensive pressure throughout the game.

Because his passing is very good, but his scoring ability is relatively poor.

Therefore, focusing the defense on him would be counterproductive.

It would be better to contain Griffin and Jordan more effectively.

In the City of Loops, the loops are mutually reinforcing; restricting one side is enough.

Facing the Cavaliers' sudden front-line defense.

Paul and Griffin were somewhat uncomfortable.

DeAndre Jordan is alright, after all, he plays in the paint and his defense is always very strong!

Griffin was held back by Ye Yao. No matter how he moved or fought, Ye Yao held him off!

Griffin was getting anxious; he had just made a solemn vow to boost the team's morale!

Now they can't even touch the ball!

"Are you really a LeBron James model?" Griffin questioned Ye Yao again.

James has never been so aggressive on defense before.

Even with a positive attitude, the defensive effect may not be that good.

Griffin couldn't even get the ball when he came out to receive it, let alone DeAndre Jordan.

With no other option, Paul dribbled with his back to the basket and cleverly shoved the ball onto Rick's foot.

The ball bounced out of bounds, giving us another chance to serve.

Griffin will serve this time.

After all, Paul needs to handle the ball to orchestrate the offense.

Take advantage of this opportunity to make another tactical change.

If the opponent chooses to focus on defense, then the only option is to increase the pace of the game.

Otherwise, it would be really difficult to break the deadlock; Ye Yao and Li Ke's defense is just too good.

Once you fall into positional warfare, you'll be in a predicament, so you have to fight quickly.

When Griffin served, Paul was still being guarded by Rick.

But Paul's off-ball movement was pretty good; he made a successful run and got the ball right away.

The moment he received the ball, before Li Ke could even catch up, Paul had already thrown it out.

DeAndre Jordan, standing near the free-throw line, leaped high and caught the ball.

But he immediately faced Varejao's defense.

With no other option, DeAndre Jordan could only turn around and make a floater.

But this kind of skill is not something DeAndre Jordan can do, and unsurprisingly, the shot missed.

Odom, who had positioned himself under the basket early on, grabbed the rebound.

The Cavaliers' roster has several ball-handlers and several rebounders.

Looking at it this way, it's quite flexible.

This round is like a microcosm of the second half of the match.

No matter how the Clippers changed their playing style, the Cavaliers always managed to defeat them with their signature move.

We'll use this defensive tactic and then slowly push forward to attack the position.

After all, they had a double-digit lead, so they weren't flustered at all!

The Clippers, limited by their roster, could only narrow the gap little by little, despite their best efforts.

But until the last minute, they were still trailing by 5 points.

For a team that excels at three-pointers, this point difference isn't that large.

But the Clippers are not that type of team.

They can't rely on three-pointers, which they're not good at, to close the gap.

Ultimately, they lost by 2 points due to the Cavaliers' tenacious defense.

The Cavaliers finally secured their first win of the game.

The instant the timer expired, Ye Yao lay down on the ground.

This match really exhausted him.

James's physical stamina isn't great; he only managed to pull through entirely through sheer willpower.

He lay on the ground for a while before being pulled up by Li Ke and Zhang Yu when the Clippers players came over to greet him.

His efforts in this game were seen by his teammates, who finally recognized him as their leader.

However, the quality of the opponent was not high enough.

They are still quite a bit behind the Lakers in the last game.

After winning the game, the team rested for a while before leaving Los Angeles.

The next game is back at home against the Rockets.

Given how tired I am today, I need to go back and rest as soon as possible.

Ye Yao's recent weight loss has led to a relatively smaller appetite and less physical strength.

This is why all star players choose to build muscle or lose weight during the offseason.

Changing your physique during a competition cycle is a risky move and can easily lead to injury.

Ye Yao knew this, but he had no choice but to do this in order to achieve good results.

On the plane back to Cleveland, Ye Yao fell fast asleep.

He fell into a deep sleep and was completely unconscious.

The others were a bit better off; at least they could drink champagne and play cards on the plane.

After Ye Yao's personal demonstration, the entire Cavaliers team is now united and ready to defy fate!

They want to be like Ye Yao, changing their physical condition and reaching a peak performance that surpasses the player's previous level.

Then enter the playoffs, win the championship, and get a reward of 50!

People who have just won a game tend to overthink things; that's human nature.

······

For the next few days, they waited patiently at home for the Rockets to arrive.

Ye Yao, on the other hand, had plenty of time to continue his weight loss journey.

The others were all studying their future options, trying to find a way to improve their abilities as soon as possible.

Gasol's weaknesses include a lack of toughness and an inaccurate three-point shooting percentage.

Thompson needs to work on his ball-handling skills.

The other players all have their own problems, making it difficult for them to make a breakthrough in a short period of time.

But all they need to do is focus on doing their jobs well.

Ye Yao had more to think about. As he gradually achieved his weight loss goal, his training tasks became increasingly demanding!

He still has a lot to do.

The template for this body has far too many flaws, and a whole host of technologies await his development.

He could only practice his skills while competing.

Time doesn't allow him to wait until the offseason to practice.

He practices all the techniques almost every day.

Fadeaway jumper, pull-up jumper, pull-up three-pointer, footwork, off-ball movement, playmaking...

Ye Yao had never been this tired before when she was studying.

Fortunately, although this body has obvious shortcomings, its physical condition is actually quite good.

After training, he was able to memorize many movements using muscle memory.

But this only teaches you the basics, and it's difficult to apply them in a competition.

Ye Yao anticipates that by the middle of the season, he will be quite strong if he can train these skills to a barely passable level.

If he reaches a good level in the playoffs, his strength will reach a new level.

After all, his physique is outstanding, and with the addition of his technique and defense, he can easily reach the level of a superstar.

His goal is clear.

Compared to him, his teammates' goals were less clear.

Before the game against the Rockets, they were still figuring things out.

This can be considered a difference in templates.

James' strengths and weaknesses are both very obvious; he just needs to make the corresponding changes.

Because the body is strong enough, it is easier to make changes!
