Chapter 423 [Leader Davis, Poison Anthony]

Seeing the starting lineup, Yang Rui started to criticize Nuggets coach Jeff Bzdelik. "The Nuggets coach is too conservative in hiring. The players obviously have super offensive power, and the Cavaliers' defense also has obvious weaknesses, but he doesn't know how to target them. This is just a treat for me."

Buckley asked: "What would you do if it were you?"

"Small ball tactics, Anthony plays the power forward, Camby is the center, and Lahirio is the substitute. This positional battle can completely open up the formation. Ryan Bowen is assigned to the small forward position to be responsible for defense. When attacking, he only stands in the bottom corner and waits for opportunities. That's it. I've coached Bowen, and he's very suitable to defend James, and he can also reduce the pressure on Anthony's defense."

In the future, Anthony's Achilles heel will be defense. Even if he is not a defensive vulnerability, he will be average at most. No one has ever said that he has excellent defense.

Anthony's offensive and defensive efficiency is higher when playing at the 4th position, but not at the small forward. He is often unable to actively defend the opponent's third position player and becomes a loophole in the team.

Smith asked with a smile: "You want Anthony to play power forward? Is that possible?"

Yang Rui explained: "Although he is only 203cm tall, he weighs 105kg and has good strength. If the opponent has a strong power forward, this arrangement will not work, but Stewart is like a big swingman, and his weight is not as good as Anthony's. "

Stewart is 2.0cm tall and weighs 104kg. He entered the league as a non-draft player in 1997 and has always been a marginal player. He played 47 games for the Cavaliers last season, averaging only 08 points and 13 rebounds per game.

The Cavaliers had 2000 No. 1 overall pick Darius Miles on the bench, and Stewart was just a pseudo-starter in order to give Miles more ball rights and lead the bench in scoring.

Camby won the jump ball and the Nuggets attacked first.

Hamilton started running like he did with the Wizards, and Hilario gave him an off-ball screen from the side. Camby went to the middle to play pick-and-roll with point guard Miller.

In the first round, there was a loophole in the Cavaliers' defense. Miller easily got rid of Bremer, who was not drafted into the NBA, and accelerated and changed direction to pass "Big Z" Ilgauskas, and drove straight into the layup. 2 to 0.

After "Big Z" was seriously injured twice, his athletic ability was not as good as before. He relied on his height and wingspan to defend the penalty area, but he was not good at switching defenders to break through. This is why Cavaliers coach Paul Silas started Stewart. He has good movement speed and is better at guarding pick-and-rolls than "Big Z".

The Cavaliers attack, James receives the ball in the middle and organizes it, his teammates pull away, the inside covers from the side, and Davis and Bremer move.

Davis can also play as a point forward.

Overlapping with James' position, his data has dropped, and he is very dissatisfied with it.

Facing the Nuggets zone defense, one look at the lineup and knew that the Cavaliers had nothing to do. The inside players are not dominant in the low post, and there is a lack of three-point shooters on the outside. After several passes with no open shot, Davis attacked with the ball and made a jump shot on the right side. It missed due to interference from Hamilton, and Camby grabbed the rebound.

In the Nuggets position battle, Miller first played a pick-and-roll in the middle, attracting the inside to switch defenses and then passed the ball to the middle. Camby faced the 188-foot-tall Bremer in the high post and used a weird shot behind the head.

Facing this "human trebuchet", Bremer did not take off to block the shot. This is Camby's eighth year in the league, and he has not completely wasted his youth. He has a certain accuracy in shooting from the middle, and he hits! 4 to 0.

The Cavaliers attacked, James singled out Anthony in the middle, changed direction with the ball and went to the basket. Lahirio's defense was in place, James forced to take off, pulled the lever in the air and missed the shot, and he also flew out of the baseline due to inertia.

Lahirio got the rebound and the Nuggets counterattacked. Miller passed the ball to Hamilton, who caught the ball from the left and made a pass inside the three-point line. 6 to 0.

James failed to guard and came back, so Davis went to guard Anthony and missed the man. This defense aroused dissatisfaction from Cavaliers "leader" Davis, who roared at "little brother" James.

On the offensive end, Davis first relied on a screen run to catch the ball without shooting, then deliberately led to the center, and waved James away to the side, stealing the position of the point forward.

What is this move? The implicit line is "There can only be one point forward in Causeway Bay, and that's me, Davis." (What the hell is Causeway Bay?!)

Yang Rui smiled and said: "I think Davis will be traded by the Cavaliers soon. The contract James signed with Nike is higher than Davis's lifetime salary. He actually thinks he is the boss of the Cavaliers. Is there anything wrong with his mind? "

At this time, Davis broke through and scored, James made a three-pointer from the corner, but missed due to interference from Anthony, and Camby grabbed the rebound.

In the Nuggets position battle, Miller passed halftime and distributed it to Anthony on the right. Anthony stepped forward in a three-threat posture, broke through to the baseline, and leaned on James with his back to hit the ball. 8 to 0.

Anthony's offense is very good. He can score the ball against anyone's defense. He is not like a rookie in all aspects.

Yang Rui said to Barkley: "Starting with 4 shots, Chuck, it seems you have to treat me to dinner."

Barkley shook his head: "It seems that the Cavaliers are really not good. This season is mainly about training James. If they want to make the playoffs, they must make a big deal in the summer."

Smith said: "Davis and James have overlapping positions, and judging from his attitude towards James just now, it will affect the development of rookies. Jerry is right, the Cavaliers must trade him."

At this time, Davis once again singled out Hamilton with the ball, and made a jumper with one step. 8 to 2.

Although the ball was scored, Davis relied solely on his personal ability and did not cooperate. He was not a good team player last season. Even though he scored 20+5+5, he was essentially a data brush.

Yang Rui said: "I think James will get good data this season because the team lacks scoring points. He can take as many shots as he wants. The team needs him to stand up and score, but his shooting percentage will not be too high because of all the Teams know that as long as they limit James, they can suppress the Cavaliers, and they will send their best defenders to deal with him."

Barkley asked: "Do you think James has a chance to win Rookie of the Year?"

Yang Rui smiled and said: "I am optimistic that he will win the Rookie of the Year, because the selection criteria for the Best Rookie of the Year mainly depend on the player's ability, and the record is only used as an auxiliary reference. James has a good combination of sudden points and shooting, and is a standard template for core players. Anthony He is more inclined to score, and his organizational skills are slightly inferior. Comparing the comprehensive strength of the two, I think James is slightly better. The Nuggets played well this year because they are stronger as a whole rather than individually."

No one dares to make predictions more than Yang Rui. He knows that the league will not support Anthony at all. This is a good opportunity for him to speak for the league and show that he is on the same team as Stern.

Anthony was as famous as James in his first year. He made little progress after that. He has always been focused on scoring. His only personal honor is the scoring champion.

That season, two weeks before the end of the regular season, Durant still ranked first in the scoring list with an average of 283 points per game, and Anthony scored 281 points each. In the middle and late stages of the season, he scored 20+ points in 30 consecutive games, and averaged 35+ points per game in the last 6 games, and then won the scoring title.

After joining the Knicks, Anthony's nickname changed from "Melon" to "Poison Melon."

The most important thing is that in the early days of Anthony's career, negative news frequently broke out, including marijuana incidents, drug abuse and gun cases, etc. Later, Anthony fought in a bar for his wife, and was also involved in the underworld DVD.

Does the commentator need to say good things for such a mentally retarded person?
