Love's playing style is actually similar to Bosh's, which is that they are very soft when playing.
The decline in their statistics has also given James a reputation as a useless teammate to a certain extent.
After all, it is quite difficult to turn All-Stars into ordinary players.
When Zhao Chen fans and James fans attack each other, they will use these to talk about things.
Kobe Bryant, who was next to Zhao Chen, repeatedly played crazy performances and regained his second spring.
Under the leadership of Zhao Chen, a group of rookies can perform all kinds of extraordinary performances.
Zhao Chen fans believe that these are one of the differences between Zhao Chen and James.
The Cavaliers attack.
It was still Owen who tried to break through Zhao Chen.
This time Owen's breakthrough was blocked by Zhao Chen.
Irving chose to face Zhao Chen and make a step-back jumper.
Playing a step back in front of Zhao Chen, Zhao Chen will naturally not miss the opportunity to disrupt his rhythm.
Zhao Chen interfered in time and Irving's three-pointer missed.
Irving's three-point shooting ability has actually been ignored. Irving's career three-point shooting rate is around 40%.
Many of his shots are three-pointers after dribbling away, rather than catching the ball and shooting in the open like other shooters.
It's just that Irving's extraordinary breakthrough concealed his three-point shooting ability.
If it weren't for Zhao Chen's defense, Irving would have a good chance of hitting this step back.
But Zhao Chen's judgment was too accurate, allowing Irving to successfully shoot the 60% that missed.
Although Zhao Chen's three-pointers are very strong, Tyronn Lue is not a coach who is keen on point guards shooting three-pointers.
Irving's singles made him frown.
Tyronn Lue still likes to let James hold the ball.
Love failed to grab the rebound, and Jokic protected the rebound.
Lakers offense.
Zhao Chen dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, and Irving was not as close to him this time.
Zhao Chen's previous experience was too easy.
Zhao Chen didn't hesitate much, first he dribbled to the right quickly, and then quickly retreated!
Zhao Chen taught Irving how to use the step-back three-pointer on the spot.
Owen could only stretch out his hand to interfere slightly.
Zhao Chen completed an easy jump shot!
The basketball draws a wonderful arc!
"Uh-huh!"
5 to 9.
Zhao Chen's step-back three-pointer has become one of his signature offensive methods, which is also unique in the league.
Many defenders are studying how to defend Zhao Chen's retreat.
But after studying for a long time, they found that combined with Zhao Chen's various offensive methods, this move of retreating was impossible to prevent.
Zhao Chen's step-back three-point shooting percentage is as high as 51%, which is higher than the shooting percentage of many inside players. This is why Zhao Chen's scoring efficiency is so terrifying.
Of course, the step-back three-pointer is just one of Zhao Chen's methods.
Zhao Chen also has many ways to shoot three-pointers.
In the field of three-pointers, only Curry can compete with the current Zhao Chen.
The Cavaliers attack.
Irving held the ball and rushed to the free throw line. Love picked and rolled, and Zhao Chen and Tucker switched defenses.
Irving faced Tucker's continuous feints and then stopped mid-range again!
"Uh-huh!"
Just hit it.
Irving's offense is getting sharper and sharper. As long as Zhao Chen or Kobe doesn't interfere from close range, the big man can't keep up with his rhythm.
7 to 9.
Tucker's defense is very strong, but that is against ordinary players. Against offensive killers like Irving and Durant, his defense does not have much effect.
Tucker's defense mainly consists of hard work and various small tricks, and his talent is an obvious flaw.
James has been watching the show in these rounds and did not participate in the offense.
The cheers at Staples Center also came one after another.
Fans love to watch such superstars compete.
Lakers offense.
Zhao Chen brought the ball into the three-point line, and Tucker took advantage of the situation to cover.
Zhao Chen used Tucker's body to squeeze through and get rid of Irving, then accelerated twice and rushed past Love's defense for a layup.
James' block shot hit the backboard and the block was not completed.
7 to 11.
Zhao Chen's current offense is becoming more and more effortless. He can use his own weapons to score just by looking at his opponent's defensive position and formation.
In terms of personal offense, Zhao Chen's offensive skills are getting more and more advanced.
The Cavaliers attack.
Irving finally gave the ball to James.
James was not polite, he didn't change direction, he just accelerated to the right with the ball!
Covington's personal defense, Covington felt so uncomfortable being hit by James like this.
James rushed inside and completely attracted the attack of Jokic and Tucker. James made a low hand and gave the ball to Mozgov.
In James' view, Mozgov has already had a good opportunity.
but!
Mozgov moved too slowly.
Mozgov wanted to chop and dunk, but Zhao Chen jumped out from behind and directly delivered a big pot.
The rebound was taken by Kobe.
Kobe accelerated forward.
Zhao Chen and Covington are also flying together.
The Lakers' three-man transition started with a fast break.
Kobe gave the ball to Zhao Chen at the front, and JR defended him. Zhao Chen leaned on JR and forced his way in.
JR was very fast, but his strength was not as strong as Zhao Chen. Zhao Chen suppressed JR and gave JR no chance to jump.
Zhao Chen stepped directly to the basket, pushed JR away with his shoulder, and forcefully jumped up for a one-handed dunk!
7 to 13
Zhao Chen's confrontation ability is invincible among defenders. He can push most centers. Only a small number of powerful insiders can withstand Zhao Chen's impact.
JR obviously can't have that kind of confrontation.
As long as there is physical contact between the two, Zhao Chen will be the one who has the upper hand.
The Cavaliers attack.
Irving used the screen to break through. After getting rid of Zhao Chen, he turned around and passed Tucker. Then, after attracting the defense, he gave the ball to James who was cutting through the air.
James took the ball and took off, knocking Jokic away and flying for a layup!
9 to 13.
Zhao Chen's strength can resist centers, and so can James's.
Both are strength monsters.
Of course, in last season's finals, fans and the media could see that Zhao Chen had the same advantage as James in terms of strength.
It's true that James is very powerful, but Zhao Chen is even stronger!
When Jokic was hit by James, his belly felt like it was falling apart.
Zhao Chen patted his butt and encouraged: "Don't worry, there are few people in the entire league who can fight so hard."
Jokic nodded. Apart from James, there was another person on his team who could charge him like this.
Lakers offense.
Jokic came to cover Zhao Chen after halftime.
Irving and JR immediately circled the cover and attacked Zhao Chen.
They all thought Zhao Chen was going to shoot a long three-pointer.
James' footsteps also moved over at any time.
However, Zhao Chen took advantage of the situation and passed the ball to Kobe who ran out of the open space, adding a passing skill.
Kobe made a decisive jump shot from beyond the three-point line!
It feels great and the basketball draws a wonderful arc!
"Uh-huh!"
9 to 16.
The score difference gradually widened.
Kobe high-fived Zhao Chen when he returned to defense.
Kobe showed his big white teeth, and it was obvious that he was very happy to make the shot.
"Well done." Zhao Chen also encouraged Kobe.
Zhang Weiping said: "Kobe welcomed Zhao Chen in the final stage of his career, which was also a perfect ending for him."
Xu Jicheng said: "Yes, Zhao Chen's arrival frees Kobe from the pressure of record and allows Kobe to play more and more freely on the court."
